Chapter Seventy-Four: The Forbidden Forest Adventure
Everyone was stupefied!
The delay here for too long has alarmed Professor McGonagall.
"Good! Night tour in the middle of the night, and noisy, too arrogant! ”
Professor McGonagall saw that there were four in his house and three in Slytherin, so yes, they were still committing crimes collectively.
"20 points per person! A month of confinement! ”
The next day, the students found out at the door of the auditorium that Gryfin had 80 points more and Slytherin 60 points less than the hourglass of house scores, and they blew up all at once.
Ted worked on it for more than half a year, and with the full assistance of Professor Snape, he deducted points for each class, and deducted 100 points, and you can deduct 80 in one night? It's got to be you!
The students of the two colleges looked at these deductors with the wrong eyes.
Ted: Isn't there hope for the Academy Cup? Impossible, absolutely impossible, and Dumbledore!
What made Ted even more concerned was that the professors didn't have anything for the students to do, so Professor McGonagall gave Filch the job of confinement.
And all Filch can think of is cleaning the toilet, wiping trophies and the like.
However, Harley Malfoy is a habitual offender of confinement, and Filch is especially full of malice, and directly arranges for them to help patrol the Forbidden Forest.
Okay~ I didn't hide from it!
That's the Forbidden Forest!
It's already very dangerous in normal times, what kind of eight-eyed spider that eats people, very unfriendly centaurs, all kinds of dangerous dark creatures, magical beasts, just walking in the forest at night is already quite scary.
Malfoy had been walking in the Forbidden Forest for two hours at night for half a month after learning about him, and he almost didn't write to call his father.
Harry laughed at him and provoked him, but he was still afraid.
The next night, Filch, with an ugly smile on his face, brought seven men to Hagrid.
"Don't make it too easy for them." He said.
Hagrid didn't like him very much, "I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me." ”
Speaking of which, it's hard for anyone who has attended Hogwarts to have any affection for Filch. It's a bit annoying.
Watching Filch, who was carrying a lantern, walk away, Hagrid looked at the seven little ones in front of him and felt a headache.
He himself was in the Forbidden Forest, which was naturally like a back garden. But for the little wizard, the Forbidden Forest is indeed a bit dangerous.
Not to mention that this one is seven, how can I take care of it?
Oh, I don't care about people at all, that's fine.
Hagrid can't help it, confinement naturally can't be faked, isn't that an indulgence against the school rules?
In the end, he added himself to the seven people, plus the teeth, and divided them into two groups.
"The three of you are in a group with me." He pointed to the Malfoy trio.
"Hallie, the four of you are in a group with Toothtooth. Although Fangya is timid, he is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest, and the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will not touch you. ”
"Oh yes, if something happens, set off green fireworks, you learned, right? If there is danger, set off red fireworks. ”
In this way, the soldiers divided into two groups, each with a torch, a lantern, and a wand, and entered the forest.
The so-called patrol of the forbidden forest is naturally just for show, to scare children.
Can they really be allowed to go deep into the Forbidden Forest? Yaya is also leading the way, walking around the path that was often walked in the past.
After walking out for a few minutes, Harley called softly, "Ted? Ted? Are you there? ”
Although Ted had made up his mind that he would never set foot in the Forbidden Forest this year, it was different now.
If they did encounter Voldemort, they would surely die. Do you expect the aura of the main character?
If you sneak up in the shadows, you still have a chance to delay the time.
Now that Voldemort is a ghost, he can only hope for Quirrell and the Philosopher's Stone, he doesn't dare to make a big fuss, for fear of alarming Dumbledore and affecting his resurrection plan.
Therefore, as long as he can hold on for even a few tens of seconds, Quirrell will definitely run away, instead of insisting on killing a few little wizards, which will only be counterproductive.
Therefore, Ted finally gritted his teeth and borrowed Harley's invisibility cloak and put on a trip to the Forbidden Forest with his friends.
To be honest, he was much more nervous than his nervous friends.
They were just afraid of Black and the beasts that might come up or something, but Ted was worried about Voldemort.
"I'm here. Don't make a sound, just when I'm not there. Follow the teeth, don't run around. The Forbidden Forest is dangerous, and we must always be ready to fight, just like we did when we 'duel'......" Ted replied quietly, and stopped speaking.
Even the friends don't know where the others are.
Because when he was talking just now, his voice drifted around, sometimes in front and sometimes behind, and suddenly on the left and then on the right.
At this time, Ted had already entered a state of preparation, and he used the illusion technique to speak, and he usually surrounded himself with a silence spell to ensure that the sound of footsteps and breathing would not be transmitted.
He even sprinkled himself with a potion to eliminate the smell, and the cards in his mind were ready at any time.
……
At night, the Forbidden Forest was dim, and the trees were so tall that even if the moonlight was bright, they were all broken after passing through the layers of branches.
It's only mid-May, and if it's August or September, it's going to be pitch black.
The forest is not silent, there are all kinds of insect chirping not far away, and even farther away, there are some strange and strange cries that are not distinguishable.
Sometimes the wind blows the branches of the trees, the leaves rattle, and the grass and trees will also make the sound of the rope.
Malfoy followed Hagrid, and his legs were getting drilled. I just want to hide behind Hagrid and hug Hagrid's thighs. The previous contempt is really gone at this time.
However, Hagrid took three steps at a time, and although he had slowed down, he still made them chase hard.
While being scared and chasing closely, as if there was something behind him, and like every shadow, there was something behind every tree, and he was already sweating in just ten minutes.
Don't say it, there are a lot of weird things in this Forbidden Forest.
A strange vine flower that grows on a tree trunk more than two people tall and blooms in the middle of the night, emitting a faint blue glow.
A big beetle with a strange cry like pulling an erhu.
Squatting on the branches, after being alarmed by Malfoy, the strange scream was like a ghost, and the unknown birds, Malfoy, who flew into the sky, sat directly on the ground in fright.
To make matters worse, they bumped into a strange creature that was wandering at night.
It was a strange creature about a little more than a meter and a half tall, covered in dark red camouflage scales, and it was as invisible as it was in the dim night of the Forbidden Forest, and the two sides only discovered each other when they were only three paces away.
This thing looks like a slim velociraptor at first glance? The head is large, the beak is like a bird's beak is not small but short, and the neck has a crown of flesh that can be opened.
It has a pair of wings that are a little small in proportion, a long tail behind it, a pair of long ostriche-like but densely scaly legs, and large claws with four forked fingers that are very sharp.
"Ah~~" Malfoy screamed, almost becoming a dolphin sound.
Goyle and Grubb turned around in a panic and ran, but luckily there were roots on the ground, tripping the two Hanhans and holding them down, and then held them down by Hagrid. Otherwise, if you get lost in the Forbidden Forest at night, you will be in trouble.
"Don't be nervous, it's safe...... Can you stop screaming? Hagrid, who was as bold as a fight, was creeped out by Malfoy's horror heroine-esque screams.
He managed to calm down the three little wizards, and kept them out like old hens.
"It's a big monster bird, it's not dangerous. You see~" He reached out to touch the big monster bird and was pecked hard, but Hagrid didn't hurt at all, just thought that the other party was playing with him, and laughed.
Malfoy rolled his eyes: Is this still safe? I think it's trying to eat people!
This mouth, this claw, this size? Safe bird feathers, huh?
Also, it has no scales and no hair, similar to the strings of fire dragons and ostriches, why is it called a big monster bird!
Malfoy was so scared that he was about to change his job.
However, the big monster bird looks scary, and it is indeed not too dangerous, but it is very curious, and it is still a certain threat to the little wizard.
For Hagrid~ There is no danger to the underage fire dragon.
……
Malfoy's side had encountered the Great Monster Bird, and it wasn't all smooth sailing on Hallie's side.
Although the old dog knew the way and was very familiar with the Forbidden Forest, he took them around for a long time and avoided many strange things, but he still encountered something that he had never seen.
Ron was tired and leaned on a big rock to take a break, but the big rock suddenly moved, and he actually stuck out a head!
The shape of the head was simply weird, and it looked a little jade translucent, with some bumps and lines.
A mouth sunken inward like a chrysanthemum, two pairs of big golden eyes, pupils are a scattered black, and there are several rugged fleshy tentacles on the head, which can still be extended!
It was a huge snail with a shell nearly two meters high!
The thing was retracted into its shell and motionless, camouflaged to look exactly like a large rock, and it didn't even smell. Tooth didn't notice a monster sleeping here.
Ron said "Mom" and almost didn't make it up the tree.
Harley and Neville pulled out their wands immediately.
Fortunately, Ted stopped it in time: "Don't move! It's safe! ”
If Malfoy is here, he will find that this is a little familiar~
Ted's voice floated through, "This should be the Land Walking Snail, a magical animal that is not harmful to people. The only hazard may be to crawl into your garden and spoil the vegetables. However, it generally does not go to places where humans live. ”
"This is the first time that the otherworldly magical beasts that appeared in this world after the conclusion of the stars, I have only seen pictures in books before, and it is the first time I have seen the real thing."
"I've heard that the slime secreted by this thing when it crawls can smear the road very smoothly, and it is a good magical building material......
I heard that it was an otherworldly magical beast, and Jerry suddenly felt a sense of intimacy when he saw it, maybe he was still a fellow countryman!
The huge snail was indeed docile, and the four big golden eyes looked at the crowd, and then shrank their heads into their shells and did not move.
However, the snail shell took the shape of a large stone as if it had been disguised. Natural camouflage!
The first night of patrolling the Forbidden Forest made Ted tired enough, and he walked for two hours without saying a word, and he had to be nervous and vigilant at all times.
As a result, although he encountered some magical creatures on the first night, he did not encounter any danger under the leadership of Yaya.
But the thought of half a month left made Ted a little desperate.
