"Footsteps are lighter," Ivey muttered to herself, bowing her head

"yes, that's about it. Recently, my back of the book has been dizzy, can you help me analyze it, what useful information is there? Harry said

"Let's start with the simple ones. There are two possibilities for Professor Snape's performance. First, Quirrell's actions didn't go well. Second, he heard Quirrell's next plan. Ivey said

"Sounds pretty good," Ron said

"Yes, both of these are undoubtedly good news."

"Then we can rest easy?" Hermione asked

"Not necessarily. If it's the second option, that's best. But if it's the first one, there's a risk. Ivey replied

"What risk?"

"Do you think a desperate person will die down? It's still a dog jumping off the wall. ”

"Well—it's all possible," Hermione frowned

"And there's something wrong with Quirrell — he's 90 percent beyond." Ivey affirmed

"Didn't Harry see anyone else?" Ron was suspicious

"We're wizards, wizards! You think you have to face each other for everything. Even Muggles have phone booths—" Ivy doesn't have a good airway

"And what about the remaining ten percent?" Hermione said

"Schizophrenia - 9 out of 10 people who study black magic have mental problems."

"To put it that way, I think Quirrell must be schizophrenic. He's always chattering. Ron thought for a moment

"Indeed," Harry remembered Quirrell's usual odd behavior

Quirrell's behavior is rather odd, and Ivey can't refute it, "But that's contrary to our previous reasoning. His bizarre performance is most likely a disguise. ”

"Why do you think he was commanded?" Betty asked

"Because the logic isn't right. Quirrell couldn't even beat Snape, let alone Dumbledore. If it weren't for someone behind him, it is estimated that Snape would have killed him a long time ago, and he would have been able to make him jump for so long. ”

"But who can command a dark wizard like him?" She continued

"I don't know"

He didn't say it explicitly. Harry wondered, who could it be? Quirrell was already a very strong dark wizard, could he be a ...... to be able to command such a person

And the "Ivey interrupted his thoughts" that Ron just mentioned, "Harry, why is it always you?" ”

"What's always me?"

"It's you in the library, it's you in the Forbidden Forest, it's still you this time, you always seem to happen to be there." Hermione teased

"yes~ Harry, don't you think it's weird. We've always been together, but I've never had any of these things. Ron followed

"What does this mean?" Harry was a little confused

"Explain that someone wants you to know this"

"Who?"

"I don't know"

Harry was speechless, "These things have no end in sight."

"It's not time yet~" I can't figure it out normally. If Ivey hadn't seen it in his previous life, he wouldn't have figured it out.

"It's imperative to think about how to deal with the punishment."

Return to the Hufflepuff Lounge

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm"

"Let's go, venture to the Forbidden Forest" waved his hand and set off with Betty.

It didn't take long for the two of them, who were familiar with the road, to come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. However, there was a little episode in the middle, and the two met Filch on the road, but Ivey had the right to move freely, and he didn't say anything.

"Hagrid? What are you doing? ”

At the edge of the hut, Hagrid carried a lantern, a hunting crossbow on his back, and a dog behind him. Seeing his heavily armed appearance, Ivy asked knowingly.

"How did you two get here?"

"Go find something in the Forbidden Forest"

"What! Absolutely not! It's too dangerous, especially at night. There's everything in there right now! ”

"It's okay, let's pick some herbs on the periphery and don't go deeper."

"That's dangerous, too! You're going to wait here for a while, Harry, and they're coming, all together. ”

"Harry is coming?"

"You don't know yet. Professor McGonagall arranged for Harry to punish them by patrolling the Forbidden Forest with me. ”

"Isn't it so exciting! They must have been happy to hear the news," Ivy gloated

"Haha – I'm looking forward to their expressions too"

"Alright, Hagrid, you're waiting here, we'll go first." Ivey took the opportunity to say

"Okay, I'll wait here, you guys go first." Hagrid smiled and waved his hand

It wasn't until they disappeared into the forest that Hagrid reacted. He slapped his head

"Damn! How to let them go"

So, Hagrid wasn't really smart

"Haha—no wonder Harry always gets his words out of him," Betty amused

"Hagrid is like this."

Although it was almost summer, it was still relatively cold in the morning and evening, and the surface of the Forbidden Forest was covered with a layer of cold fog. It's still the same place, but because of the season, the foliage is more lush than when I last visited, and there are more bare rhizomes on the ground.

"Here, put it on you," Ivy pulled out a yellow stem and broke it in half

"Eagle Whistle!"

Betty pulls out her wand and casts her magic. A green beam of light shoots out of the wand and turns into a transparent owl. Flap your wings and fly to the branches high in the air.

The "Eagle Sentry Technique" reconnaissance magic can serve as a warning for the master. If you are proficient, you can also share vision.

"OK, now it's all right"

The two of them got to work. I'm here today to eat, and his magic soup base is still missing a few trimmings. In Ivey's expectation, the perfect recipe was to replace the ingredients with herbs from the magical world, except for bean paste and butter.

"Luck is not bad, herbs, incense flowers, these two are about the same." He was in a good mood and the trip went well.

"Goo-goo-goo-"

At this time, the eagle whistle suddenly sounded a warning. Betty immediately started to share her vision.

"What's wrong?" Ivey asked

Betty's pupils have also become transparent

"What are the centaurs looking for us?" He muttered

"Do you need to be on guard?"

"Wait and see, the centaurs probably won't actively harm the students of Hogwarts."

As the centaur got closer, Ivy heard the sound of the horse's hooves. It's so slight that it's hard to imagine that such a massive creature can run so quietly.

A short time later, three centaurs appeared in front of them.

"Hello, Mr. Shafiq, and Miss Ethel, I'm Ronan."

It was a very tall centaur, about the same height as a troll. Above the waist is a human half-body, with red hair and beard, which looks rugged. Below the waist, the horse's body is covered with shiny brownish-red hair, including the tail. Approaching the two of them, it stretched out its right hand and looked at them.

"Hello, Ronan," Ivey asked, shaking his hand, "you're here for us?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Shafiq. By order of the High Priest, we invite you to the Centaur Lands. Ronan showed his intentions

"The Centaur wants to see me? Why? ”

"We're just following orders. As for the reason, it is unknown. ”

"Well—" Ivy hesitated, considering if there would be any risk.

Perhaps sensing Ivey's concerns, Ronan said, "Mr. Shafiq, we have coexisted peacefully with Hogwarts for decades, please believe in our sincerity"

"Betty, what do you say?" he asked, Betty

"It shouldn't be a big problem, you decide"

"That's good. Mr. Ronan, thank you for your kindness, and I have to trouble you to show us the way. Ivey decided to check it out

"Okay, come with us, I'll slow down as much as I can" Ronan led the two of them into the depths of the Forbidden Forest
