348. Secret battles in the Forbidden Forest

"He's my brother and we're twins." Fred also reached out and lifted his hood, "He just fell under a curse." ”

"You're ...... again"

Apparently, Bane had his eyes on Fred's woodened right hand again.

"Twins?"

Ferenze stared at Fred and George for several moments before putting down his bow and arrows.

"If you look closely, you do look exactly the same, I heard Hagrid say that Hogwarts has a pair of very mischievous twins."

"That's us!"

Fred and George immediately raised their hands at the same time.

"We're the only twins in this group of schools!"

"And we can't find any more mischievous ones!"

The two proudly proclaimed their status as kings in naughty mischief, as if they were talking about an award speech.

Ferenze motioned for the other two centaurs to put down their bows and arrows as well, and then said to the four young wizards, "Go away, get out of the Forbidden Forest, you are not safe in the Forbidden Forest tonight." ”

Eddie blurted out, "Could it be that a dark wizard has infiltrated it?" ”

"Stop talking so much nonsense to them." Bane said to Ferenze, "Since they are disobedient, let them be, and if something happens to them, it is not our responsibility." ”

Another unnamed centaur followed, "Bane is right, Ferenze, we can't hurt them, and we're not obligated to keep them safe. ”

Ferencze frowned when he heard this, "They are not adults yet. ”

"It's none of our business!" Bane said upset, "We've already counseled them!" ”

Scott felt that things were getting weirder.

Something big is going to happen in the Forbidden Forest tonight?

"You really don't want to leave?" Ferenze looked at Scott again.

Scott looked left and right and saw that Eddie and the twins were looking at him, obviously waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"Let's leave." Scott changed his mind.

He's not the kind of person who knows he's going to get in trouble.

"Let's go, then." "I'll escort you out of the Forbidden Forest. ”

Scott nodded, raising his wand in his hand, "Flock of birds." ”

"Gaga...... Quack ......"

With a rough chirp, a flock of black crows emerged from the tip of his wand and scattered around it, dropping black feathers.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ferenze." "These crows will be on guard," Scott said. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crow flock dispersed again into the night, with only one crow remaining with Scott.

Scott: They followed the centaurs' lead in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Scott raised his hand and let the crow that remained beside him rest on his arm.

He pulled a leaf in his hand, tapped it with his wand, and left a sentence on the leaf.

He had no choice but to wait for the 7 eagles to come back and retrieval the panoramic telescope to Rimbaud.

"Give it to Rimbaud."

He whispered, and the crow flew away with the leaf in his mouth.

Although the ravens could not understand his words, they could understand Rimbaud's name.

From then until they walked out of the Forbidden Forest, Scott didn't encounter anything unusual.

The horses sent them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and hurried back.

Scott and the four of them stood on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, looking out into the dark interior of the forest at night.

"What should I do?" Eddie asked distressedly, "Have we been preparing for so long in vain?" ”

"Not necessarily." George said.

Eddie turned to look at him.

"What he means is that those few panoramic telescopes don't necessarily get brought back, and even if they do, they don't necessarily get damaged," Fred said. ”

"Don't worry, I've arranged it."

Scott waved his wand again.

Whoa......

The sound of wings sounded, and the black crows flew out of the woods, and then turned and flew into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"If the eagles come back, they'll help keep it," he said. ”

"I hope so." Eddie looked up at the crows flying away.

Obviously, he didn't really believe in the fighting power of the crow flock.

"Let's go."

Scott was the first to turn and walk in the direction of the castle.

"Aren't you curious about what's going to happen in the Forbidden Forest tonight?" Fred asked with some excitement.

At the mention of this topic, Eddie immediately came to his senses, and he guessed with interest, "There must be a dark wizard who has infiltrated the Forbidden Forest, and the centaurs have discovered them and are ready to fight them." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." George disagrees with his speculation, "The centaurs I met tonight seemed to be a little impatient. ”

"Want to know what to expect?" Scott asked.

He paused and pulled out a panoramic telescope from the shape-shifting lizardskin pouch around his waist.

"Don't forget, we can use this."

"Try it." George said happily, "I'm interested in it. ”

Both Fred and Eddie nodded.

"Then try."

Scott pulled out another block of ebony and turned it into an owl with a wave of his wand.

He then turned on the switch of the panoramic telescope and handed it to the owl.

The owl cooed a few times, grabbed the panoramic telescope and flew towards the Forbidden Forest.

"It will patrol the skies above the Forbidden Forest." "When it hears movement, it flies nearby and lets the panoramic telescope record it." ”

Back at the castle, Scott and Eddie separated from the Weasley twins and headed towards Ravenclawa.

"I thought Fred and George would have wanted to stay in the Forbidden Forest just now and watch the fun." "They always have an excess of curiosity," Eddie said. ”

"They're not stupid." Scott dismisses his claims.

Fred and George were very clever.

Eddie laughed and said, "Then let's hope they won't be caught by Madam Pomfrey." ”

The two returned to the Ravenclaw common room, where Eddie was with several members of the Quidditch team's tactical advisory team.

Scott stretched and decided to take a shower in the prefect's bathroom.

By the time he had finished his shower and returned to the Ravenclaw common room, it was almost curfew time, and there were not many people in the lounge.

"Scott."

Luna, who was sitting on the couch by the fireplace, called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

Scott walked over, put the bath basket on the floor, and sat down on the couch across from Luna.

"Something happened." Luna's eyes widened and her voice erratic.

She was still squatting, her bare feet peeking out from under her nightdress.

"What?" Scott didn't understand what she meant.

"In the Forbidden Forest." Luna turned her head to look at the window, "I just saw that there was a battle in the Forbidden Forest. ”

"You can see it from this distance?" Scott asked in surprise.

"Of course, I don't see much." Luna didn't seem to have any idea of her abilities, "All I know is that there's a fight going on there. ”

She jumped off the couch, stepped barefoot on the stall, and walked by the window.

When she stepped out of the carpet and touched the floor tiles, she jumped up again, ran back to the couch and put on her slippers.

Scott got up and joined her in front of the window.

"It's there, but it's over now." Luna pointed to an area in the Forbidden Forest.

Scott stared at the dark Forbidden Forest for a moment, and roughly judged where Luna was pointing.

There...... Probably the same place where they had met the three centaurs before.

He asked softly, "Do you know who is involved in the battle?" ”

Luna shook her head.

"I don't know." "I can't see who's fighting whom," she said. ”

"How do you know if there's a fight there?" Scott asked curiously.

"I see it." Luna looked up at Scott, "I saw the fight. ”

Scott was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.

"So, what you're seeing isn't who is fighting whom, it's not magic and magic, it's the concept [of fighting]?" As he spoke, he expressed his meaning in a series of gestures.

Luna thought for a while before she understood what he meant.

She nodded, "The Brain Fly that lives in my eyes has matured, and I can see more now." ”

Scott looked down at her silver-gray eyes, still amazed in his heart.

Is this Luna's special magic, or is it ...... Is there really a magic eye?

"Should I tell Professor Flitwick about this?" Luna asked.

Scott smiled, "I think Professor Flitwick would love to hear from you." ”

Luna nodded, then turned and ran towards the door.

"I'll go."

The slippers crackled under her feet and she hurried out the door.

Scott watched her leave, then turned to look out the window at the Forbidden Forest again.

What's going on......

He sat back on the couch by the fireplace and waited quietly.

It wasn't long before there was a knocking sound outside the glass window.

Scott got up again, opened the window, and let the owl holding the panoramic telescope fly in.

He pulled out his wand and turned the owl back into a wooden block, picked up the panoramic telescope and placed it in front of his eyes to begin the operation.

As his fingers flicked the circular dial, he saw from the camera that the image began to fly back and forth, from the common room to the Forbidden Forest.

His fingers kept flicking, and the picture kept receding.

Due to the poor light in the Forbidden Forest at night, he had to be very careful to make out what was in the picture.

Suddenly, his finger flicking stopped.

At this point, the picture he saw was bright, it was a red light of a spell.

The fingers of Scott's other hand also began to move, turning the frame into slow motion.

As he adjusts repeatedly, the wizard who fought the centaurs finally appears in the frame.

It's just that because the owl is flying in the air, the panoramic telescope is a bird's-eye view, and the wizard who fought the centaurs is wearing a hood, Scott can't see his identity.

Over the next few days, Scott watched the footage of the battle over and over again.

There was only one wizard in the Forbidden Forest, and his battle with the centaurs was not very fierce.

The fighting was shorter and no winners, with no casualties on either side.

The wizard quickly walked away with the illusion.

From these images, it is also difficult for Scott to judge the purpose of the other party's trip.

After a while, Scott watched the footage recorded by the panoramic telescope twice from beginning to end.

At this time, Luna ran back with her slippers.

"I've already told Professor Flitwick." She spoke with a slight gasp.

Scott asked him, "Does the professor believe what you say?" ”

"Oh, of course he does." Luna nodded solemnly, "He said he'd go talk to Professor McGonagall and check it out." ”

After saying this, she and Scott exchanged goodnight and went back to the dormitory.

At breakfast time on Monday morning, the owls delivering the letter flew into the auditorium in anticipation of all.

"Oh, I've never looked forward to the Daily Prophet more than I did today!" Eddie looked up at the flying owl and said loudly.

Scott used his hand to block the jug of milk to prevent the owl's feathers from falling in.

"It's coming!"

"It's the Daily Prophet."

Several newspapers were thrown on the table by the owl, and Eddie and Roger couldn't wait to pick up the newspapers and read them.

At the same time, Scott received his own newspaper.

"How is that possible! Nothing! ”

Eddie flipped through the newspaper and complained loudly.

"Didn't anything happen yesterday?" Roger was also surprised.

Milton said: "Maybe that's a good thing? ”

Scott also flipped through the newspaper in his hand, but found no valuable news reports.

"Noon." He said to Eddie, "Finally, we're out on a trip to the Forbidden Forest. ”

"Okay." Eddie nodded repeatedly.

Almost all the students in the auditorium were very unhappy with the newspaper.

What they want to see is the Dark Lord vs. the resurrected witch, who wants to see the progress of the construction of the Quidditch World Cup venue!

Even the Slytherins, who weren't hospitalized, weren't satisfied.

"Nothing happened, is that enough to prove that the interview was Rita? Skeeter's self-directed and self-acting, that hateful woman should be published in the newspaper to apologize! ”

"It's an insult, she's insulting Slytherin's daughter, and she's insulting our Slytherin house."

The Gryffindors, who weren't hospitalized, didn't think the interview was fake.

They quarreled with Slytherin over the air.

"Just because it's not in the newspaper doesn't mean nothing happened!"

"Wait, today's Prophet Evening will definitely report on this!"

"yes, you have to give reporters some time to write!"

Sandwiched between the Ravenclaws table between the two houses, all the Ravenclaws watched silently as the Gryffindors and Slytherins scolded each other.

With the massive assault on Saturday, the already unfriendly relationship between the two academies became even more unfriendly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Professor McGonagall walked in through the door of the auditorium.

Her appearance was like pouring cold water on the heads of those hot-headed students, and it died down in an instant.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips sternly, scanning the crowd and paying special attention to Gryffindor and Slytherin.

For a moment, the auditorium fell completely silent.

"You're all students." Professor McGonagall raised her voice and said, "What you should do is go to class, and the rest is none of your business now. ”

Seeing that everyone was honest, Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

She turned around again as she reached the door, "Gryffindor and Slytherin students, I want to remind you that your house points are about to be deducted. ”
