"The next game will start on June 24..."

Bagman's voice could be heard faintly on the shores of the Black Lake, but Egger's group had already gathered around Hermione and left.

It's the end of another race, and despite not finishing first, today is a day of celebration for the Gryffindor students anyway.

"In fact, when we saw you swim to the Mermaid Village Square on the shore, we thought you had to duel the merfolk in that group." Ginny sat next to Hermione and smiled, "But then I found out that the merfolk were supposed to protect the hostages..."

"It's normal, after all, their faces really don't look so friendly." Hermione nodded.

The lounge was full of parties, the smell of mead, oak barrels, and cakes.

"Are you scared when you're underwater?" Angelina curiously leaned over to Hermione's side, "We both feel so weird on the shore..."

"I'm not afraid." Hermione looked at Egg, who was playing exploding cards with the twins in the distance, and laughed, "Because he must be nearby." ”

"Hell, I shouldn't have asked..."Angelina rolled her eyes, and a group of girls giggled.

In March, the weather gradually became clearer, but every time I came to the field outside, the cold wind could still blow people's hands and faces.

"One last item, I think I should be able to tell you about it right now." Egg took Hermione's little hand and walked by the Black Lake, and the lush Forbidden Forest in the distance came into their eyes.

"Forbidden Forest?" Hermione frowned.

"That's right." Iger nodded.

"I knew that the third level would definitely be more dangerous than the first two... Those dragons must still be in the Forbidden Forest, right? Hermione took a breath of cold air.

"Yes, Hagrid's three-headed dog, Luwe, and the snails that survived the students' mouths, and know that the Forbidden Forest is home to forbidden pets that have been kept by the students for generations, and no one knows how far their offspring will breed in the Forbidden Forest." Egger spread his hands: "It's a shame, I never thought you would be a school warrior when I first proposed. ”

"It's okay, I'll do my best." Hermione laughed.

Egg smiled and casually pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, "See the thorny vines like a big tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest?" These are walls, and now the Ministry of Magic has sent more than 150 Aurors, a team of ten people into the Forbidden Forest, and the entire Forbidden Forest will become a forest maze in a few months, magical animals like unicorns, it is lucky to meet them, but if they are unlucky enough to encounter some human-faced sphinx or something, it will be really miserable and miserable. ”

"What's in the depths of the Forbidden Forest?" Hermione looked at Egger with some confusion.

"It seems to me that they are a bit infiltrating, and while they don't pose much of a threat to me, the deepest areas are still too cruel for you..."

Iger shook his head slightly: "Most of the 5X-level creatures in Old Master Newt's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" can find their shadows in the Forbidden Forest, and you must know that the high resistance of 5X-level creatures to magic is terrifying, and you can use it as a reference, Professor McGonagall's superb transfiguration has no effect on me at all..."

Hermione suddenly felt some scalp tingling.

"What I'm trying to tell you is that once you encounter a 5X-level creature, you must press the mark as soon as possible, and I will appear in front of you in an instant." Egg looked at Hermione with serious eyes.

"I see... But—" Hermione looked a little unwilling in her eyes, "Can I only run away?" ”

"Ahh Of course not, you can also take a shower in advance to let those monsters experience a better taste. Egg looked at Hermione with a smile on his lips, and Hermione's face suddenly turned red.

"I can't handle any of them?" Hermione sighed faintly.

"Buckbeak's Hippogriff can only live on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and the Hippogriff's winged beast is only 3X in the Ministry of Magic..."Egg whispered, "It's okay to meet fire dragons, but it's only fatal to meet other 5X creatures..."

Hermione looked at Egg, "Like...?" ”

"Like the five-legged monster... Another example is the cystic leopard... Oh, I was wrong. Iger shrugged: "I don't think the average person would have seen the leopard at all and was killed by the poisonous gas it exhaled..."

"Oh my God... What did you think in the first place? Hermione covered her forehead wistfully.

"They won't let me compete," Egg grinned.

Sure enough, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back...

"So our mission isn't to challenge magical beasts at all, but to survive their attacks?" Hermione looked at Egg in surprise.

"That's right..."

After scaring the little girl, Egger felt comfortable physically and mentally, and couldn't help but smile secretly with some joy.

"Goha~" In the distance, Lark flapped his wings and flew from the sky, followed by a petite owl.

With a fluttering sound, Lark landed on Egger's horn with unmistakable accuracy, and with a kick of his little paw, he kicked Tim Gambey out of Egger's head.

Egger: "......"

"Looking for you." Lark grunted.

Egger then turned his head to look at the little owl that landed on his shoulder, the little owl shivered with cold, and a letter was firmly hooked in its claws.

"Mad-Eyed Moody's letter—" Iger opened the envelope, dusted off the letterhead, and snorted and sneered.

"Poor little one, are you frozen?" Hermione reached out and picked up the little owl on Egger's shoulder, leaning over to look curiously at the envelope in Egger's hand.

"Mr. Crouch is missing?" Hermione's mouth opened in surprise: "What happened?" ”

"It's nothing..."Iger smiled, dragged Hermione back to the castle, and as soon as he entered the castle courtyard, Iger crouched down and watched a tabby cat meow, "Can you help me find Crook Mountain?" Tell him I'll wait for it in the break room and ask it to bring a map by the way. ”

As soon as the words fell, the tabby cat suddenly stood up and turned into an old witch with a stern face: "I'm curious, Mr. Morissus, what you just said. ”

Egger: "......"

Hermione: "......"

How did you find the wrong cat? By the way, Professor McGonagall, why don't you stay in the office and run to the courtyard to get together with the cats?

Are you playing Insidious?

"No... Nothing...", embarrassed to shake off Professor McGonagall's questioning, Egg hurriedly found another white kitten and asked it to call Crook Hill for him.

Picking up the map of the living spots that Crook Mountain had brought back, Egger's eyes swept around the map, but he didn't find any useful clues.

"What are you looking for?" Hermione looked at Egg curiously.

"Barty Crouch Sr. is missing." Iger leaned against the head of the bed and casually threw the map onto the bedside table beside him: "That proves that Barty Crouch Jr. probably escaped from his Imperius curse..."

"I remember you said earlier that he was a Death Eater?" Hermione looked at Egg.

"That's right." Iger sighed and told her about Barty again.

"That is, you want to keep him useful, but you can't find it now?" Hermione asked.

"That's right, I shouldn't have hesitated if I knew it, I should have arrested him in advance, built a dungeon or something, and locked him up." Iger shrugged, "Calculation is really not for me..."

"Do you think... If he escaped, then his main thing was to save Voldemort? Hermione asked, looking at Egger.

"That's right, he's Voldemort's brainless fan..."Egg nodded, "So he's going to come to Hogwarts..."
