Chapter 785: "See You in a Moment"
Speaking of which, it's strange enough to find a new building under construction in the Forbidden Forest.
And when Hermione saw the invisible beast tied to the stone pillar, and the elves dozing around the pillar, she was naturally even more surprised.
After subconsciously making eye contact with the invisible beast, Hermione saw that it didn't seem to have any intention of making noise or struggling, so she turned around and beckoned to Harry and the others.
After a while, they saw the same thing Hermione had seen.
"What should I do?"
Harry didn't say anything, he just gestured for a moment, conveying his hesitation and confusion to Hermione who was not far away.
Hermione thought for a moment, and simply pointed directly at the invisible beast on the stone pillar. After that, she quickly circled to the back of the stone pillar and reached for the rope that bound the invisible beast to death.
She knew that even though these elves might still know her, the communication between the two sides would be difficult to achieve.
In this way, instead of waking up these elves, it is better for her to take the invisible beast out first, and then ask Maca to ask about the situation.
The three of them are here to find the Invisible Beast today, and as long as they bring it to Hagrid, the most immediate purpose will be completed. As for why the elves tied the invisible beast to the stone pillar, this can be seen later.
However, as soon as Hermione's fingertips touched the rope, she felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, forcing her to retract her hand with lightning speed.
Now she knew - this rope was probably given some kind of spell.
"Loose and energetic."
Sensing signs of magic, Hermione decisively stretched out her wand and silently chanted a spell with the dance of the tip of the wand.
However, her spell didn't let the rope go...... It seems that the type of spell unwinding is wrong.
"Stop."
Hermione didn't hesitate, and quickly tried the universal counterspell again. And this time, the rope finally turned into a puff of gray-white stone dust and sprinkled it on the ground, telling her with practical actions - the method was the right one.
Seeing that Hermione had successfully unbroken the spell, Harry, who had been waiting in front of the stone pillar, hurriedly reached out and hugged the invisible beast Demi, so as not to be slipped away by it again.
"Let's go?"
Ron stepped aside, lip-syncing to ask Hermione if she could go. The latter first looked around again, and after confirming that the elves were still dozing off, he nodded and said that he could go.
β¦β¦
It wasn't long before it was on the same trail back the way it came.
"Hermione, are we going to send a signal?"
Ron said, still carefully observing the movements around him.
You must know that this forbidden forest, which has always been mysterious, has not only appeared in Voldemort, but also Glopp, and even more than countless alienated eight-eyed giant spiders.
Now that the centaurs have moved away, the eight-eyed spiders are barely visible, but who knows if there are some other dangerous creatures here?
Don't say whether others are afraid or not, anyway, Ron is always worried about his heart.
"Wait until we're back at the fork in the road before signaling," Hermione said casually, "so Hagrid knows that we might have found Demy on our side, rather than having some difficulty." β
As she explained this, she looked at Demi, the invisible beast who was being held in Harry's arms, with some doubt on her face.
She wondered why the little guy was tied to a stone pillar and guarded by a few elves.
Yes, although those elves are not very reliable no matter how they look at it, they are all sleeping without leaking. But no matter what you think about it, they're watching over the little guy, aren't they?
"After going back in a while, I think we should ......"
Hermione was about to say that she was going to ask Maca for clarification, but the next second she suddenly stopped what was behind and shook her head to herself.
"What should it be?"
Ron habitually asked, but saw Hermione calmly say, "No, it's nothing." β
"What's 'nothing'......"
Ron muttered, but had to hold back the wonder in his heart. Because he knew that if Hermione didn't want to say it, it might not be useful to askβit was becoming more and more like Maca.
And at this moment, Demi, the invisible beast that had been staring at Hermione since he didn't know it, slowly moved away from its deep and dark eyes.
Its hands were on Harry's arms and chest, and its whole body was leaning on Harry, and it actually looked quite loose and natural. It was as if it trusted Harry very much.
As for Harry, who was holding it, he didn't seem to be aware of it.
After that, within a few minutes, they were back where they had been separated from Hagrid. And when Hermione waved her wand and released a dazzling glow through the woods, Hagrid soon appeared in a hurry.
"Oh! Merlin is on top," said the big man, squeezing effortlessly through the bushes, "and you've found little Demi!" I can't even imagine how you found it! β
"We're inβ" Hermione. β
Hermione was about to say something when she heard Hagrid ask, but Harry interrupted her.
"It's not too early," he casually gave Hagrid the invisibility ** in his arms, and said quickly, "We need to go back - there's still a lot of homework to be done!" β
"Ah, yes, yes!" Hagrid nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your help today, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do...... Go for it, though! Learning matters! β
"Hmm......" The moment Hermione and Harry's eyes met, the former was stunned, "That's right, learning is the most important thing, let's go!" β
"Let's go, Ron!"
Harry patted Ron on the back and walked forward. Immediately afterward, Ron saw Hermione follow without saying a word, leaving Ron alone.
He looked at Hagrid with an inexplicable expression, and then at the backs of the two friends on the path in front of him, his heart full of puzzlement.
"Ron, aren't you leaving?" Seeing this, Hagrid, who was holding the invisible beast, couldn't help but urge.
"Oh, uh-huh......" Ron paused for a moment before nodding, "Well...... See you tomorrow, Hagrid. β
With that, Ron turned and chased after Harry.
"Why didn't they tell Hagrid everything they just saw?" He trotted and wondered to himself, "Is there any plan...... Go straight to Maca and ask? Or ......"
At this moment, just after Ron left, Demy, the invisible beast in Hagrid's arms, suddenly moved. It had been honest just now, but now it was trying to climb onto Hagrid's shoulder.
"Hey, little Demi, don't move." Hagrid hurriedly took it back into his hand and said with a smile on his face, "I wonder how you became so honest just now...... Naughty little one, come on! Take you to eat your favorite kiwifruit. β
Right now, little Demi was groping and scratching on Hagrid's arm, like a real monkey, and how could he still have the calm and indifferent appearance just now?
β¦β¦
About ten minutes before the lights go out, the Gryffindor common room.
At this moment, Ron was honestly doing his homework. For him now, some of the homework is no longer difficult for him, after all, he is still quite serious about studying some courses.
It's just that the process of doing his homework today made him quite uncomfortable.
"Harryβ"
"Don't talk, do your homework!"
Ron's words were interrupted again by this good buddy. He found that, as on the previous two occasions, the other party seemed to be preventing him from bringing up the previous events.
But I don't know if he asked a little too many questions, but this time Harry finally didn't focus all his attention on his history of magic paper, but leaned in a little.
"Ron, I know you're concerned, but don't talk about it now." Harry leaned slightly and lowered his voice as hard as he could, "I think there's something wrong with Hermione - well, anyway, we'll talk about it when we get back to the dorm." β
After saying this, Harry sat up again, lowered his head and continued to revise his paper. And Ron, on his side, suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Hermione? Something is wrong again? β
Ron subconsciously glanced across the round table, and Harry seemed to be talking so seriously that he didn't dare to look too deliberately.
It's just that Hermione at least seems normal at the moment - her homework has already been done, and now, as usual, she writes and draws in her notebook, studying some rune combinations that she can't read.
"Well, Harry remembered that." Ron secretly recalled, "In the Forbidden Forest before, Hermione seemed to be going to say something...... But I didn't say it again before I finished speaking......"
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that his head had become a mess.
That's right, I've learned a lot from Maca, and I've been able to think from someone else's point of view in many cases.
But that doesn't mean he's smarter.
"Alas! Let's wait a while and go back to the dormitory and ask Harry...... He seemed to be aware of something. β
Ron shook his head vigorously and simply put the matter aside.
The next moment, I saw him reach out and dip the quill pen in his hand in some ink, ready to continue to finish the unfinished homework at hand.
However, at this moment, the magic wall clock on the wall suddenly rang - it was time to turn off the lights!
"Oh no!" Ron looked at the empty parchment in front of him and groaned weakly, "It's over, it's time to go back to the dorm and write secretly, he-"
He was about to habitually ask Hermione across the street for a paper, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and he cut the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Hermione." Harry gave a cold look, "I'll see you later." β()
