113. Forbidden Forest in distress
This so-called punishment is actually equivalent to an outdoor teaching in disguise, so that these little wizards can understand a little bit of jungle knowledge. Hagrid led them as they walked through the grass beneath their feet, the trees beside them, and the occasional magical animal that popped up, and told them to be careful of some of the fruits that looked delicious.
Although the young wizards who had never experienced it had already known most of the names and uses of what he said from the mouths of the seniors, what they saw and heard with their own eyes still made them exclaim from time to time.
Magos and Hagrid's pet dogtooth walked at the end of Gryffindor, and he took a general look at the other three young wizards from the house, all of whom had a very ordinary relationship, and he didn't say hello when he saw that they were immersed in Hagrid's introduction. Tooth seemed to like to go out and walk around, running around McGoth happily, and when he stood up, Tooth was half a head shorter than McGoss, tall and mighty, with sharp mouth and fangs, and looked very ferocious, and would be feared in a crowded place, but it would make people feel reassuring in this dim forest. But anyone who has read the original book knows that this dog also looks fierce, in Hagrid's words it is a coward, and it must be the first to run in danger. However, McGoth knew that he couldn't blame it, he always thought it was also a magical animal, and after asking Hagrid, he found out that it was just an ordinary dog, but he used unknown breeding methods to become so huge. Aside from its size, it has no magic at all, not even as good as a stinger. In this all-X-Men world, if it weren't for the dog's vigilance and escape ability, it is estimated that even if it is covered by Hagrid, it will quickly become the food of some carnivorous animal.
"Hermione, what are you writing about?" Hermione, who walked ahead of him, unlike the other little wizards who were wandering around looking for unique souvenirs, listened to Hagrid as she scribbled in the notebook she had brought.
Hagrid's words. Hermione didn't look up and said back.
"Okay, but you'd better watch your step." Hermione didn't respond, or didn't bother to respond.
The situation on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Magos had already heard Hagrid speak very clearly that day, so although he was also quite curious, he just took a few looks.
Before they knew it, Hagrid had led them to the farthest place they had ever gotten.
"Alright, boys, we're done, we're going to go back, and if you haven't found a souvenir yet, you'll have to hurry." Hagrid's words made the young wizards who were about to take a closer look a little unhappy, and they insisted that Hagrid take them inside for a while, but Hagrid ignored them completely, even if Harry and Ron, who had the best relationship with him, persuaded him to no avail.
"It's miserable, I haven't been able to find anything that will surprise Simos and them." Ron looked frustrated, he could already imagine that he would be teased by them when he returned. Harry didn't have much to do, who told him to let the words out so early.
The young wizards were noisily centered around Hagrid, looking around for something they were interested in. From time to time, people come up with small animals and plants or fruits they don't know and ask Hagrid about their names and uses. Hagrid patiently told them about it, and once they heard Hagrid say that it was relatively rare on the periphery, they would take it as if it were a treasure, and the others would look at them with envy.
"Why didn't you go with them?" Hermione finally put down her notes and asked curiously when she saw McGoss, who was sitting on a rock and holding her teeth.
"It's not interesting, you didn't go." He was craving Tooth's head, trying to ride it while it wasn't looking, but Tooth's perception was absolutely high, and it circled around McGoth as soon as he lifted his foot, neither shaking him off or giving him a chance to ride on it.
Hermione glanced haughtily at McGoss, who was as busy as a child, and stepped into the ranks of searching for something.
Tossing a sweat and not riding on the tooth, McGoth gave up and let go of the dog's head, Yaya felt the hand holding its dog's head loosened, slowly took a few steps back, the dog's eyes glanced at McGoss, and then ran away angrily. It wasn't until Tooth Tooth was gone that McGoth didn't react, and he seemed to be despised by a dog. Looking at the teeth that ran back to Hagrid, he could only comfort himself with dog eyes looking down on people.
When most of the young wizards had found their favorite souvenirs, Hagrid had them all lined up and ready to go back.
Ron looked at a Flober caterpillar he had caught, and wanted to throw it away. He suddenly remembered what he said that it was better to catch a thorn, he wanted to catch it, but the thorn guy he usually met was now unable to see even a shadow.
"Harry, what are you bringing back?" He figured that Harry had brought back something similar to him, either a Flober caterpillar or a spider fruit or something. But as soon as he saw Harry's grinning mouth, he knew it was not what he believed.
Sure enough, Harry used his wand to control a small squirrel-like animal that floated over.
Ron asked expectantly if he was just a squirrel. Harry's shaking of his head made him completely desperate.
"Hagrid said that this is a quay-tailed squirrel, there are many of them in the Forbidden Forest, but they are very shrewd, it is difficult to catch and see them, their magic is all in the tail, they can make the body very light, and they will also swing back and forth, which can make them faster and make the footprints disappear." Harry laughed and repeated Hagrid's words.
Harry's words drew in the young wizards around him, including the somewhat nonchalant Magos. He looked at the squirrel at Harry's feet, it didn't look much like a normal squirrel, it was about four feet tall when it stood up, but there were some differences, the gray fur didn't look long, but the tail was two the size of it.
"How did you catch him?" The little wizard of Ravenclaw asked in surprise.
Harry pulled out a nut-like fruit, "I didn't see it at the time, it fell on my head, and then I saw a gray shadow popping out, and I was startled, and subconsciously used a petrification charm to hit it as it ran to my head." "Speaking of which, he glanced at McGoss, but McGoth was watching the quay-tailed squirrel and didn't see it." And then just grab it. ”
Luckily, the little wizards looked at Harry and his little squirrel with envy. Ron was like a defeated rooster now, hanging his head, and if everyone didn't have anything out of the ordinary, it would be okay, and now that Harry had it, he didn't have to think about it to know that he would be laughed at when he went back.
"Okay, follow me, don't huddle around, you think the quay-tailed squirrel is so easy to catch, if you don't start chanting a spell when you see a black shadow, and then hit it accurately, even if they are in your head, you may not be able to react." Hagrid's voice rang out. "Whether you find what you're looking for or not, come and gather and get ready to go back." Hagrid's words made the little wizard who was still trying to find something he liked hurry up, and quickly picked up something that was not very eye-catching.
After they all gathered and lined up, Hagrid didn't walk a few dozen meters with them, and the teeth suddenly roared in the direction of return, and the hair on his body exploded. Hagrid quickly raised his massive stone bow in the direction of the tooth.
"Someone, come out quickly, I found you." Hagrid's roar startled the young wizards who were discussing how to show off their back, and a group of people quickly huddled together to look around, the performance of the teeth and Hagrid's serious expression let them know what enemy or dark creature they had encountered, and they took out their wands and pointed them in Hagrid's direction in a trembling manner.
It was only when all of them stopped talking that McGoth realized that something was wrong, there was no sound in the Forbidden Forest now, not even the sound of birds and insects that had not stopped. He used his wand to quickly cast two obstacle charms behind him, regardless of whether anyone behind him was careful. However, the sound of his incantation scared the other little wizards enough, thinking that someone behind them had turned back.
Hagrid was also taken aback, and slowly stepped back between them to ask what was going on, and Magos said that he had used two obstacle charms in the back. Hagrid nodded approvingly, waved his hand so that the young wizards all stood in place, holding a huge stone bow in one hand and a lamp in the other, and cautiously took a few steps forward, only to find nothing in front of them.
"If there's something eyeing us, you all have your wand in hand, and if you find something, use your wand to emit a red flame, and the professors at the school will come and help us."
As soon as Hagrid's words fell, a dark figure suddenly appeared from the front, whimpering, and running into the crowd with a whimper.
"Someone." Hagrid had just launched his arrow when he was struck by an unknown spell.
"Dark wizard!" The giant's magic resistance is not for fun, Hagrid felt the damage of the black magic and subconsciously said the identity of the black shadow. The Black Shadow didn't seem to be outrageously strong or deliberately weak, as his spell didn't hurt Hagrid that much. However, when the young wizards heard Hagrid's name for the black shadow, they looked at the black shadow in fear, screaming and firing spells in confusion, and some accidentally hit Hagrid.
McGoth's fear was no less than the others, even bigger, he thought that the figure was Quirrell possessed by Voldemort, but he didn't expect him to be crazy enough to haunt them at this time and attack them. I used a brain glumlency technique for myself, and I originally had the intention to organize the little wizards to take turns using spells, at least to give Hagrid a little support, but watching their actions directly dispelled the idea.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione, listen to me later, give Hagrid a little help, otherwise Hagrid is no match for the Shadow." He calmly called the three men out and assigned them the task of casting an obstacle charm in front of Hagrid before the shadow cast the spell.
However, just as McGoth and the others were about to act, the black shadow inexplicably retreated a few meters, and then disappeared all at once, and the long-lost sound of insects sounded in the Forbidden Forest again.
He ...... Ran away? Harry, who was terrified, was stunned when he heard the sudden sound around him.
"No, it's in the back." McGoth looked coldly at the place where the black shadow had disappeared, and suddenly turned around and shouted loudly.
"Roaring ......"
