Chapter 14: The Forbidden Forest

Wanwan put Hermione on the ground, and the latter almost fell to the ground with weak legs, but she helped her to stand firm.

Hermione came back to her senses, looked at the cave giant lying on the ground, and said, "Is it dead?" ”

"Of course not." Wan Wan said. "It's just that the fall just now was too heavy, and I had a little concussion, and it will be relieved soon."

As he spoke, the cave giant had already recovered his strength, and his two long arms were stretched out, and he slowly stood up.

Hermione was no longer scared now, and with a look of eagerness on her face, she excitedly lifted her wand, ready to wait for it to stand up before giving it a blow.

"Leave it alone." Wan Wan pressed Hermione's hand down and smiled, "This guy should be left to the professors to deal with." ”

"Huh?"

Hermione had some doubts, but her doubts were quickly answered.

A rush of footsteps came from the hallway, and at the same time Ron's shouting rang out, "Professor, I've locked it up with Harry, and the troll is inside." ”

There was a smug taste in his tone, as if he was asking for credit.

"Click!"

The next moment, the toilet door was opened, and Ron and Harry rushed in, shouting, "Look, the troll is ......"

He stopped in the middle of speaking, and Hermione's gloomy face, like the bottom of a pot, appeared in his sight.

"He...... Hermione, why are you here. Ron said with a blank expression.

"What do you say?" Hermione said quickly with a sneer on her face. "I've been chained here by two big fools, the same victim as I am, and a poor cave giant. I must thank them for bringing in a troll to keep me company so that I am not so alone. ”

"I'm sorry, Hermione, we didn't know you were here, too." Harry apologized to her, a look of shame on his face.

Ron stood aside, also a little overwhelmed.

"I know, you certainly didn't mean to...... You can't drive a troll into the toilet with your abilities. Hermione said.

At this time, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Quirrell had already arrived in the bathroom, and Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and Ron, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”

Harry and Ron hung their heads and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, we didn't know Hermione was in there. ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at them in disappointment, then waved her wand, and with a spell of magic, knocked the newly rising cave giant unconscious, and asked Hermione, "Was it knocked down by you?" ”

Hermione nodded reservedly and said, "Yes, Professor McGonagall." ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at the cave giant and said, "Petrification Charm, legging Charm, good job, Hermione Granger." Facing the trolls and using what they have learned to defeat an adult cave giant, Gryffindor is given twenty points thanks to Hermione Granger's classmates. ”

Hermione said happily, "Thank you, Professor McGonagall. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded, then looked at Harry and Ron, and said, "Because of the carelessness of the two of you, you almost killed your classmates, Harry Bowu and Ron Weasley, and each of them will be deducted ten points." ”

Harry and Ron said listlessly, "Yes, Professor. ”

"I hope this is the end of this matter, it's enough mess today, don't make any more mess, go back to sleep." Professor McGonagall said to the three of them with a straight face, then nodded to the girl and left the bathroom.

After the three professors left, Harry and Ron looked at Hermione in embarrassment, and Harry apologized again: "I'm sorry, we really didn't know you were in there." ”

After scolding them, Hermione's anger eased slightly, and she said with a cold face: "I accept your apology, and I hope you can use your brains a little before doing things in the future." ”

On the way back to the dormitory, Ron was a little indignant, and said in Hermione's example, "I hope you can use your brains before doing things in the future...... I don't understand what she has to be proud of, does she think she is a professor, why she arrogantly teaches others. ”

"Alright, Ron, stop speaking ill of her behind her back." Harry said. "I don't think Hermione's person is bad, but the tone is a little rushed. If we were someone else and almost died at the hands of the cave giants, we would not have forgiven us so easily. ”

"Okay, what I listen to you is, stay away from her in the future." Ron Road.

On the other side, Wan Wan also said: "There are two sides to everything. The symbol of Gryffindor House is the lion, which represents bravery, courage and adventure. But the reverse can also be said to be impulsive, reckless, and often do bad things with good intentions, which is also characteristic of Gryffindor. Therefore, the four houses of Hogwarts are not superior or inferior, but their characteristics are different. ”

Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Wan Wan said, "Okay, you should go back to the dormitory." Before I go, I'll leave you with one more question to think about, why did the Cave Giants appear in the school? ”

Hermione said, "You mean someone put it in on purpose?" ”

Wan Wan nodded and said, "Hogwarts can be regarded as one of the safest places in the wizarding world, not inferior to the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts, if even a stupid and big monster like the cave giant can sneak in, then how can the safety of students be guaranteed." ”

Hermione couldn't agree more, "Who could have put it in?" ”

Wan Wan deliberately cultivated her thinking ability, and said, "It's up to you to find the answer yourself, okay, rest early." ”

Late at night.

The Forbidden Forest in the mountains behind Hogwarts is also known as the Dark Forest, and there are many wild and aggressive magical animals in the forest, most of which are very unfriendly to humans.

The creatures of the Forbidden Forest had a pact with Hogwarts that the water from each other's wells would not interfere with the water of the river, and that the students of the House were forbidden to enter the Forbidden Forest, and the creatures of the Forbidden Forest were not allowed to leave the forest, a pact that had become a tradition for hundreds of years.

The Forbidden Forest has always been uneventful, and even if the occasional student breaks in, they are driven back by the creatures that inhabit the periphery. Recently, however, a major incident occurred in the Forbidden Forest, where a unicorn was injured.

The unicorn is a powerful mythical creature that moves like the wind, is full of magic and is very agile, can fight dragons, and is at the top of the food chain in the dark forest, and it is very difficult to hunt them. But one of the unicorns was wounded, and left a trail of mercury-like blood on the black ground of the forest.

"The blood is still fresh, and the injured unicorn shouldn't have gone far." Qi Fang wiped his fingers on the ground, twisting it slightly, a cool breath came from his fingertips, and he could feel the powerful energy contained in these bloods.

Just then, a strange beast cry came from the depths of the forest.
