61, Hagrid and the Forbidden Forest (3rd Update)
The burly and stout Hagrid was bewildered by Luo Xiu's words, and he walked in front of Luo Xiu with great strides.
"What? You don't have a Hogwarts acceptance letter? No way, it's impossible for someone who doesn't have an acceptance letter to get on this train. Hagrid said firmly.
"I snuck up, and I followed the Weasleys into Platform Nine and Three-Quarters." Luo Xiu said frankly.
"That's tricky......" Hagrid had a depressed expression on his face after hearing this, "Boy, why did you sneak here?" You know, without a Hogwarts acceptance letter, the professors won't allow you to study or attend classes. ”
"But I crave knowledge, I want to learn magic." Luo Xiu said sincerely, this is also his most simple idea.
If it weren't for his studies, he wouldn't have plunged headlong into this bizarre world.
"Oh...... But, boy, listen to me, every batch of new students admitted to Hogwarts is strictly selected, not just one person is eligible to come to Hogwarts, and if you don't get an offer, it only means that you are not selected......" Hagrid said regretfully, he knew how cruel these words were to a schooling child.
"So, if I hadn't been chosen by Hogwarts, should I have willingly accepted such a fate? Why can't I fight for my fate? Why don't I get equal access to education? Luo Xiu looked up at the burly Hagrid and asked word by word.
"You kid......" Hagrid didn't know what to say, because he couldn't bear to turn down a schooling child.
In fact, Roshew's questioning reminded him of himself decades ago, when Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because of Voldemort's frame-up, so he understood the pain of being turned away.
"Oh, you stubborn boy, do you really have to come to Hogwarts?" Hagrid asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I'll have to try." Luo Xiu said.
Hagrid took a deep breath as the impatient urging of first-year students came from the boat.
"Hagrid! Hurry up! What are you doing? ”
"Come on, Hagrid! Have you forgotten about us? ”
"Hagrid, should we go to Hogwarts or not!"
Hagrid replied loudly, "It's coming!" Here it comes! Turning to Luo Xiu, he said, "Listen, boy, I'm not sure the professors will accept you into Hogwarts, but I can help you ask, but you definitely can't enter the school now, you find a place to wait for me first, I'll send these children with admission letters to the school, and then come out to you right away, do you hear?" But don't walk around and don't be noticed by others! ”
"Okay, I see." Luo Xiu nodded—Hagrid was a good-hearted man.
But despite this, Hagrid gave him a precautionary shot first: "But boy, don't get your hopes up, I'll do my best to fight for you, but it's not up to me to decide this matter, understand?" ”
Luo Xiu said: "I understand Mr. Hagrid, thank you for your help. ”
Hagrid turned and walked away, striding toward the lake in the bright moonlight.
"I'm coming, kids, I'm coming!"
Luo Xiu watched Hagrid leave, and then quietly watched the boat sail towards the opposite shore.
He knew that the destination of the boat was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the hillside, the majestic and mysterious castle, and at this moment, Rosho's heart was full of envy, and he realized for the first time how happy it was to have the opportunity to study in a higher education.
——————
The night was getting deeper, and the wind by the lake became more and more cold, if it weren't for the super soldier serum in Luo Xiu's body, it would be difficult for him to stand in such a cold wind for so long.
The laughter of the children could be heard from the distant direction of the castle, and Rosho knew that it was Hagrid who had led everyone to Hogwarts, followed by the opening feast and the sorting ceremony, but Rosho had nothing to do with it.
Looking up into the distance, the stars twinkled in the night sky, and occasionally a few owls flew over Luo Xiu's head, not forgetting to make a strange sound of "cooing".
Stranger sounds came from the dark forest in the distance, mixed with the roars of wild beasts, the whispers of humans, the sound of galloping hooves, and the chirping of birds.
Following the prestige, Luo Xiu could roughly judge that the direction was the Forbidden Forest.
"Hagrid can't have forgotten me, right? Or maybe he's going to come back to me after the sorting ceremony......"
Luo Xiu muttered to himself in his heart, and at the same time looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, he saw a light flickering in the direction of the hillside, and it seemed that several people were walking in his direction.
Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, it seems to be a few senior students.
"No, you can't let them see it." Luo Xiu thought in his heart, after all, Hagrid specially told him to be careful.
But the lakeside is an open space, there is no too convenient shelter, and there is only one way to avoid them, and that is to burrow into the forbidden forest not far away.
"Damn, you can't get into the Forbidden Forest on the first day, can you?" Luo Xiu frowned, but he had no other way, the students in the distance were talking and laughing, they were already very close to him, in order to prevent being discovered, Luo Xiu had to run towards the Forbidden Forest.
The road to the Forbidden Forest is really not a road, it is just a faintly visible passage with sparse vegetation, and the trees in the Forbidden Forest do not know what kind of species, even in the silver-white moonlight it is pitch black.
Luo Xiu didn't want to go too deep into this forest, so he stopped after entering the Forbidden Forest, when the students in the distance passed by the lake with oil lamps, just past where Luo Xiu had been standing.
"It's so dangerous, I was almost caught."
Luo Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He crouched in the grass and waited for the students to go away.
Behind them, strange sounds continued to be heard—sometimes the roar of wild beasts, sometimes the cry of strange birds.
Luo Xiu squatted in the grass, only to feel a cold wind constantly blowing on his neck, as if he could see some terrifying monster as soon as he turned around.
But he wasn't afraid of that, and the Super Soldier Serum gave him the ability to survive in the world of Harry Potter.
Even if a werewolf escaped from the Forbidden Forest, Luo Xiu was confident that he would fight this species.
A few minutes later, the seniors with oil lamps finally moved away, and Luo Xiu slowly stood up from the grass and twisted his stiff old waist.
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a low voice coming from behind him, which was full of pain and made people very uncomfortable.
Looking back, I saw a unicorn running out of the Forbidden Forest, with its silvery-white glittering fur, four long, strong legs, and a long, sharp horn on its forehead.
It's just that its eyes are dull and unfocused, as if it has completely lost its vitality, and it has a narrow wound on its abdomen, and the wound is flowing outwards with silver-white blood......
"Poor fellow......" Luo Xiu said with a frown, he could see that this unicorn might not survive.
