Chapter 45: The Story of the Mysterious Man

Saying goodbye to the centaurs, Harry and they joined forces as they moved on.

They continued to weave their way through the dense, pitch-black woods. Harry always looked nervously. He had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if someone was watching them. He was glad to have Hagrid and his stone bow with them.

By this time, Draco had said goodbye to Sephiroth and returned to his room, where he lay into a deep sleep under the soft bed. In his dream, he saw Harry and Ron begging him for mercy with a look of pain on their faces.

Tomorrow, I have to get up early in the morning to see if I can help the hapless Mr. Savior pick up a bone, and Wang Jiang at home will probably like it.

Hermione rubbed her arms, the night was dark, the fog was heavy, and the cold was heavy, and in a large forest like the Forbidden Forest, the temperature seemed to drop extraordinarily. At the moment, Hermione missed the stove in the castle and the hot milk that was almost always available.

Unfortunately, they had made a mistake and must be punished, otherwise she would have slept in the castle's big bed by now. Who made them nosy, this is what happens to them.

Hermione clenched her arms and shivered. She felt a little cold, especially since she was only wearing a magic robe, which was just the most ordinary school uniform, and it was not like the Slytherin "nobles" who had all kinds of spells constantly.

Hagrid noticed Hermione's strange appearance, he scratched his head and thought about it, then took off his coat and draped it on Hermione's body, and the big clothes wrapped Hermione's whole body.

The sudden softness made Hermione look up and meet three pairs of worried eyes, Hagrid and Harry, all staring at her.

“xiexie。” Hermione blushed and whispered thanks, overjoyed to have such a friend.

Now Hermione understood a little bit, the people of Weishenme Gryffindor were always together, and it wouldn't be a big deal if they were locked up with friends like this.

Young and frivolous, if you grow up with no memories of adventuring together, laughing together, and being punished together, then life is undoubtedly gray.

She was glad that she had made such a friend, and that the choice to come to Hogwarts was indeed the right one. If you didn't come here, how could you meet these friends.

When the episode ended, they continued to grope their way along the trail of blood, walking for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper into the forest, until the trees became so dense that the path was almost impassable.

If Hagrid hadn't cleared the way ahead, Harry would have had to go back along the road. And not only that, but they also found that the blood stains on the ground were getting denser and denser. There was a lot of blood splattered on the roots of a tree, and it seemed that the poor animal had writhed and struggled in pain nearby.

The more Hermione looked, the more frightened she became, and the unicorn seemed to be wheezing and struggling under the tree.

……

The next morning, Sephiroth was awakened by a knock on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Draco couldn't wait to shout, "Let's go, let's go see what has become of Potter!" Merlin bless, it's best if he's bitten off by the creatures of the Forbidden Forest. ”

“……”

See, what kind of mentality is this, the Sorting Hat really didn't say anything wrong about the essence of Slytherin.

Maybe you'll get into Slytherin,

Maybe you make sincere friends here,

But those who are cunning and insidious will stop at nothing,

to achieve their purpose.

Draco at this moment is clearly "those cunning and insidious people" in poetry.

"I haven't woken up from my dream yet, I guess Potter must be eating and drinking well in the restaurant by now."

Sephiroth rolled his eyes in spite of the image, there was Dumbledore who could hurt Potter. Harry Potter went to the Forbidden Forest, such a dangerous thing, to say that Dumbledore would ignore it, Sephiroth was the first to shout not to believe it.

"Listen to me......"

"Harry and I went to the depths of the Forbidden Forest and saw a lot of blood on the ground...... The shadows in the shadows shook with a longing for the grass and trees, and we rushed over at once......"

"Guess what I found after that?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, Ron couldn't help but say it himself, "It's a unicorn!" It's dead. I have never seen such a beautiful and miserable scene. Its slender legs maintained the position it had taken when it fell, and they stretched out unnaturally; Its mane spreads on the dark fallen leaves, like a pearl. ”

Before he could enter the restaurant, Ron Weasley's triumphant voice entered Sephiroth's ears. Invariably, Sephiroth and Draco both frowned, making a loud noise in a popular place like the dining room was simply against their good homeschool.

As soon as he entered, Sephiroth saw Ron's tall, conspicuous figure.

He was standing at the table, surrounded by a large crowd, and he didn't seem to notice Sephiroth and they were coming, and he was still telling the story of his last night over and over again.

"Holy, why didn't the werewolves and trolls in the Forbidden Forest capture this red-haired fool!"

Draco glared at Ron, and the good mood of the morning vanished.

"Maybe werewolves and trolls are also worried about themselves after eating such fools. Will it become as stupid as he is. Looking at his smug appearance, maybe this is the first time in his life that he has attracted so much attention. ”

Pouting, Sephiroth led his group of first-year Slytherin students to the Slytherin table and took a seat.

The Slytherin sat down en masse, which naturally caught Ron's attention. But maybe it's because he's in a good mood right now, Ron just glanced at him carelessly, then turned his head and continued to brag to his friends.

"Even more unfortunate things happened after that......"

"Later, I saw even more incredible images. An evil guy has come out, and he's sucking the blood of a unicorn, that damned bastard. I drew my wand and stood up......"

Sephiroth didn't listen any further, because he knew that Ron didn't have that much courage at all, and that what he said after that must have been made up and boasted about by himself.

He could have imagined the situation, the real situation.

Dumbledore's good allies, the centaurs must have a truly vital task on their shoulders. A magical creature that is not allowed to enter Hogwarts, a beast that is despised by wizards, can actually know what the treasure hidden in the castle by the headmaster is, and deliberately guide Harry Potter to think about it, is it not a little boring?

"I think I understand exactly what he's talking about. It doesn't actually take a lot of intelligence, the guy brags too much, and he's about to boast about himself. Kill the mysterious man who killed the unicorn? Just with his three-legged cat strength? ”

Draco sliced the steak on his plate, but his ears were pricked up to listen to Ron's words, and he sneered angrily from time to time.

"Hehe, you know, the stupid lion of Gryffindor just likes to exaggerate and play with gold on his face. Who will believe their words except for the equally stupid lion. ”

Listening to Sephiroth's words, Draco looked at it. Sure enough, with the exception of a small number of Hufflepuff students, Ron was surrounded by some first- and second-year Gryffindors. Didn't you look at the Ravenclaw students at the table next to him with disdain?

If he were that good, would his grades still be at this point of not being up or down?

You must know that the strength of wizards is directly related to their grades in school. There is no such thing as a very poor learner, but a very strong one. Learning the most haode is not necessarily the strongest, but the strongest learning must be good.

"Alright, Draco, it's time for the exam. Lately, you don't care about those boring things, and try to review them for me. If your score is too low and you lose face in Slytherin, I think Uncle Lucius will give you a 'memorial' that will last a lifetime. ”

After chewing on the delicious and juicy steak in his mouth and swallowing it all, Sephiroth drank the pumpkin juice from his cup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and got up to leave.

"Uh-" The corners of Draco's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Recently, he has been really careless, spending all his energy on Potter, which has led to a bit of a decline in his academic performance. There are only a few weeks left before the exam, and as Sephiroth said, if you don't study hard from now on, it may really be over.

I'm not as crazy as you are!

Draco said to himself as he looked at Sephiroth's departing back.

He didn't want to be like Sephiroth, who held a book all day long and read it from morning to night, and when he met Sephiroth, most of the time he saw him reading. Draco didn't think it was bad to study hard, but like Sephiroth, it was no longer a matter of effort, but obsession.

We're pure-blood wizards, and knowledge is important, but human communication is also essential to us.

Draco had no intention of negating Sephiroth's efforts, but he just couldn't figure out how desperately he would study. They weren't at the bottom, as long as Sephiroth took half of the time he usually saw, or even a third or a quarter, it was enough for them to become a good pure-blood wizard.

It's not necessary to work so hard, and to do that is simply to overdraw your youth and life.

But one thing was right, Draco should have gathered his mind and started reviewing. Not to mention the bookreak Sephiroth and the other immovable big library Patchouli, two of the school's recognized top students. Don't you see, even ordinary Ravenclaw students have started to review in large numbers?

At Hogwarts, Ravenclaw is the bellwether for exams, as long as you see most of the Ravenclaw students start to stop playing games and strolling around the lake, but pick up a book and review it in the common room. Students from the other three houses will understand that this is time to prepare for revision for their final exams.

The knowledge of the first grade is really too simple for me. Do you want to take the opportunity of the exam and apply for a grade skip?

Sephiroth walked out of the cafeteria a little dissatisfied with his progress, he longed for more advanced knowledge, more powerful magic. It is impossible to get the most improvement just by reading books, especially in this kind of magical world, the real treasures are those experienced professors, who often have knowledge that does not belong in the book.

And the professors of Hogwarts are undoubtedly the wizarding elite of this era, a group of people who stand at the top of various fields. In many cases, their own knowledge goes beyond the realm of knowledge recorded in the book.
