Joel wasn't so comfortable, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and he now has a tiger lying next to him, the kind that can slap a person's shoulder.

He rubbed the cub's belly as he thought about a way to escape.

After kneading for four or five minutes, the tiger cub finally rolled over and climbed up, staring at Joel with his strange eyes that could see through Joel's illusion spell.

The eyes sparkled in the night, and Joel felt like he had smoothed the tiger's intestines, and now it was finally free to eat.

The tiger cub opened its mouth, grabbed the horn of Joel's robe, and pulled him deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

This tiger is not only rough and thick, but also has strength and speed, and is more than one level stronger than Joel, and he has no choice but to obey.

Half an hour later, Joel looked at the cave in front of him and sighed, he remembered the last time he entered the cave and thought that he would soon become one of them.

The path to the cave was slippery, and Joel looked down to see that the plants inside were stained with dark red blood.

Once in the cave, the moonlight fades and the vision darkens, and Joel and the tiger cub see the adult tiger father lying on a boulder.

It looked terrible, with a large opening in its abdomen, and all the internal organs of its intestines flowed out of it.

Finding his father lying dying on a boulder, Tiger Cub hurriedly let go of the mouth that was biting Joel's robe, ran up to his father and arched it with his head.

Feeling the call of its child, the tiger woke up slowly, and it let out a low roar, which could not hide its emotional sadness.

It spotted Joel standing in the cave, and the tiger scrambled up from the ground and pounced on Joel with all his might.

Joel retreated into the corner, and the tiger fell hard in front of Joel from exhaustion, the gravel on the ground rubbing against the wound, causing the tiger to let out a scream, and it rolled over on the ground to avoid touching the wound.

Joel could see the wound in the tiger's abdomen, as if it had been cut through it by some sharp blade, and the wound was smooth and deep.

Knife slashing spells? This was Joel's first reaction to the wound, and other than that, there should be no creature in the Forbidden Forest that could inflict such a wound.

Who did it?

Joel frowned, the tiger was yelling at his own child, Joel could only smell the fishy smell in its mouth, it had now lost the ability to hunt its prey, and was urging the child to kill the humans who invaded their territory.

Tiger Cub's gaze hovers between his father and Joel, and it seems difficult to make a choice.

As soon as it moved its claws, Joel heard footsteps behind him, unhurried, unhurried, but every step seemed to weigh on people's hearts.

The two tigers reacted very quickly and roared towards the entrance of the cave.

A man dressed in a black robe and hooded with a wand in his hand walked in.

The moment he saw the man, Joel's sense of crisis increased sharply, and he didn't dare to move when he stood in the corner.

"I've finally found you......" the man's voice rang out.

Joel's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he could discern the owner of the voice, a man he had taught at Hogwarts.

Quirrell, or rather, Quirrell under Voldemort's control.

His tone now was completely different from the trembling and stumbling in class, eerie and cold......

Joel didn't dare to say anything, his ankle began to ache again, and before Quirrell could notice him, Joel hurriedly put a phantom spell on himself.

"Good tiger......" Quirrell laughed out loud at the sight of the tiger's miserable appearance, "I thank you so much for returning to your shelter after being injured, or I wouldn't have found your child." ”

The tiger roared in anger, it recognized the man, who had snuck up from under him tonight as he snatched a unicorn, nearly slicing its body in half.

From birth to now, it has never been so badly injured, the man's knife spell is extremely strange, the energy contained in it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, destroying and corroding every inch of muscle around its wound, its powerful physical recovery ability only exacerbates the pain, and can only watch the wound heal little by little and then be torn again.

It wanted to bite the human, but it couldn't do it now.

The blood and energy are constantly draining, and it is now difficult to even run.

Quirrell let out a wild laugh, "Come on, let me see your child." ”

Joel watched carefully, Quirrell waved his wand vigorously, and a rope fell from the sky, directly binding the tiger cub and binding it, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free.

After all, it couldn't defeat Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, and Voldemort's experience with the magic of Quirrell, an adult wizard, was enough to trap the underage tiger.

Quirrell looked back and forth at the cub's body, then let out a surprise laugh, "Sure enough, sure enough!" ”

The sound of madness bounced off the rock wall in an echo, and Joel's ears tingled.

On the other side, the seriously injured tiger father saw that his child was trapped, it had lost its strength, and even its roar became low and weak, and the light in the heterochromic pupils became more and more dim.

Quirrell didn't want to endure the tiger's annoying roar any longer, and with a flick of his wand in his hand, a knife slash struck the tiger in the forehead.

The bones in the forehead were going to be harder after all, and the curse didn't cut its head in half, but it was enough to take the tiger's life.

The light in the heterochromic pupils disappeared completely, and the tiger cub's angry roar grew farther and farther away from Joel until everything was calm.

Joel waited for a quarter of an hour, making sure Quirrell wouldn't turn back, before stepping out of the corner.

The cave was still damp, the smell of fish was still permeating, and the blood under the tiger's corpse was still flowing outward, and its eyes were round, and it was finally dead and blind.

Joel was not so virgin, so naturally he would not go to Quirrell's hands to rescue the tiger cub, he searched the cave instead.

Why did Quirrell capture the tiger cub? Joel speculated that it had something to do with its physical abnormality, and he still hadn't figured out why the tiger cub could see through the disguise of the illusion spell and why he didn't kill him.

The cave wasn't small, and Joel walked around to see what was going on.

Apart from a large pile of animal remains and hair, there are no new discoveries.

Joel had no choice but to give up, he took some of the wreckage and some of the hair and put it in his pocket, and left the cave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a mark in the cave - the sky blue silk scarf he left at the entrance of the cave, and then used the weeds and dead branches near the cave to disguise it.

After all this, Joel limped back to Hogwarts Castle with the blessing of the Transfiguration Charm.

It was two o'clock in the morning when he returned to Ravenclaw Tower, and his roommates had already fallen asleep, so Joel tiptoed back to his bed, opened his drawer, added a grimace moth's chrysalis to the crystal bottle, and sealed it shut.

It was too late, and Joel, who was covered in dirt, didn't want to disturb his roommate's rest, so he simply lay on the bed and fell asleep.

This sleep went straight to noon the next day, when Joel slowly woke up, the three roommates were gone, and the bed was empty.

Getting up from the bed, Joel smelled the smell of his robe and didn't dissipate yet, so he quickly ran to take a shower, changed out of his dirty clothes and unscrewed the bathroom door, Joel heard laughter in the dormitory, and Eddie and Alan were sitting on the bed eating chocolate frogs with smiles on their faces.

Hearing the movement, they both turned their heads at the same time.

Joel immediately closed the bathroom door, did he not sleep well last night, why did he hallucinate?
