Chapter 248: Creatures Under the Ice!
Harry didn't answer, but asked, "Hermione, think about it." The answer is actually in your head. ”
Harry's Nursery is back in session.
Hermione racked her brains and said, "Is it because of you? Harry Potter?"
Harry laughed, "Come on, they won't recognize me as a 'savior'. They weren't Terrans at all, and they wouldn't think like wizards. ”
"The damage that Voldemort brought them, they would even take for granted that the wizarding community caused it. For example, there is a werewolf named James, who is very powerful and brutal, and leads a group of other werewolves to slaughter wizards, what do you think?"
"A, it's not the same thing to distinguish him from other werewolves, and he's still tolerant and kind to other werewolves. ”
"B, the concise understanding is 'the war is caused by werewolves, and the werewolf race is dangerous', and I want to stay away from all werewolves. ”
"C, werewolves are not a good thing, it is recommended to kill them all. ”
"This ...... Probably B. Hermione said.
"Well, the average candidate is B, like I'll choose C, and the one who chooses A is the Virgin Mary......"
"I think A is the most correct answer. Zhang Qiu said.
Harry's face remained unchanged and he said, "...... Maria ......"
"A is of course the best choice, but few people have that patience, reason, trust. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it so much. I'll tell you, it's actually because of the unicorn. Harry gave the answer.
Seeing that Hermione was still puzzled, Harry said, "Hermione, you should know about unicorns." ”
Hermione nodded like a melon, "yes, I know." But what does this have to do with the creatures of the Forbidden Forest that don't hurt unicorns? ”
"Unicorns can detoxify and heal, but she won't be a doctor in the Forbidden Forest to save all the wounded and bleeding creatures. It's even more impossible to contribute their tail hair, and besides, there are very few creatures that know how to make wands and use wands, and most of them use their brute strength. Hermione analyzed.
Harry said, "Look at Zhang Qiu's 'proud' little face, I guess she must know. ”
Zhang Qiu feigned (chen): "Where do I have it?" ”
Hermione asked, distressed, "Do you know any other traits of unicorns that I don't know about?"
Zhang Qiu smiled: "No, in fact, it is all in the book, but you didn't analyze it carefully." ”
"You have to know one thing, which is important for all life in the Forbidden Forest, and that is water. ”
"You don't think it's easy and convenient for them to drink water, they don't do Muggles: clean water is dug up hundreds of meters underground, filtered through several processes in a water plant, and delivered to nearly a million households for direct drinking. Nor are they like wizards, who can wave their wands and condense a cloud of water. ”
"They drink water from rivers and lakes, which is very dangerous, especially in places like the Forbidden Forest, where there are poisons, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, and even curses in the water - you know, this is a very simple way to destroy some enemies. ”
"Unicorns, on the other hand, can purify the water by touching the surface of the water with their horns when they are drinking. Even when a unicorn runs over the lake, the water becomes pure. That's a rare point. Therefore, unicorns are equivalent to holy relics, public resources. ”
"So if you can follow a unicorn, you're safe. ”
Hermione suddenly realized, and she clenched her hand into a fist in annoyance and tapped herself on the head twice, "I'm so stupid. ”
......
They walked forward more than a dozen meters.
And then what appeared in front of them was a big pit.
It is not accurate to say that it is a pit, because it is not deep, but there is a circle of accumulated snow around it, which shows this small basin, but the area is not small.
The diameter of this round crater is about 800 meters.
They stepped into the basin.
At first glance, the snow here is spotless, white, and there is not a trace of destruction.
The rest of the Forbidden Forest is long ago littered with animal footprints.
"Harry, where are the pets you said you were going to introduce us to?" asked Hermione, confused.
It's eerily quiet, not at all like a living being.
"Well, you've already stepped on it. Harry said.
Zhang Qiu and Hermione hurriedly moved away, worried that they would trample it to death.
"No, I don't. Hermione looked at where she was, and there was nothing, and she walked over and kicked away the thick snow, but there was still nothing.
"Huh?" Zhang Qiu saw Hermione's feet, as if something was glowing just now.
She pulled out her wand.
"Swept away. ”
A large patch of snow was swept away, revealing what was beneath the snow.
It was a thick layer of ice, and under the ice was a deep, pitch-black hole.
"It turned out to be a lake, and we were standing on it, but looking at the ice, it was at least two meters thick, so we didn't have to worry about falling into the water. Zhang Qiu said.
"That little pet is underwater. Harry said.
Hermione suddenly said, "Wait, is this pet of yours a fish?"
"Well, why do you think that?" said Harry.
Hermione said excitedly, "It can't be an icefish, that kind of rare, spiritual, and interesting magical creature." ”
Harry was confused: "What is an icefish?"
"Oh my God, don't you know?" Hermione said impatiently, "There's an icefish in the pet store in Diagon Alley, and it's about the price of two firebolts. ”
"The most interesting thing about it is that there is a spell created specifically for it, I don't know which wizard invented it, but it's definitely interesting: just stand in front of it and say the spell: 'The cold icefish slaps in the face', and it will pop out of the tank and fan the face of the nearest person with its tail. ”
Hermione laughed, "Interesting, isn't it? I want to buy one for my parents, because even Muggles can say this incantation." ”
Harry: "......"
"Certainly not some inexplicable icefish!" Harry shouted.
"Uh, isn't it?" Hermione looked disappointed, undisguised.
Hermione's eyes pierced Harry's sensitive heart deeply, and he suddenly felt that some kind of bullshit basilisk was not interesting at all, it was not as good as a small fish.
Harry was devastated.
"Harry, let's meet your pet. Zhang Qiu felt that Harry was going to be depressed, and said in a relaxed tone.
"Oh, yes. Harry said boredly, "Do you know Godzilla? ”
Hermione was still disappointed that Harry's pet wasn't an 'ice fish', and she said absentmindedly, "What Godzilla?"
Zhang Qiu was also at a loss.
So Harry began to discuss this with them.
