Zhang Xiao found that the aftermath of the flying lesson was far greater than he had imagined, perhaps because Hogwarts was so calm that this slightly legendary story was recounted by the young wizards for a long time.

The biggest change was Neville, who found that suddenly many young wizards were happy to get to know him, and although he was still clumsy, the patience of the professors was beyond his expectations.

Even Snape's average taunts per class dropped from an average of 10 to 8!

With Hermione's help, Neville stumbled up with the class, and even got better grades than Crabbe and Goyle.

For little wizards, there are many classmates with good grades, but how many friends are willing to sacrifice their lives for you at critical moments? How to choose, they naturally know very well.

Neville is now happier every day, because instead of the ridicule and ridicule of his classmates, he gets a smile and an encouraging "Come on!" ”

As for Zhang Xiao, not to mention, his limelight even overshadowed Harry and became the most popular person in the first year.

Handsome, personable, good grades, very polite, wait a minute... It seems that there is a noseless monster who took this script back then.

Hagrid's attitude towards him also changed greatly, and even offered to help him take care of the vegetable patch, and the big straight man waved his hand in a rough voice and said:

"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of incident, you can rest assured, I'm a veteran!"

The only odd thing was Malfoy, who at first enjoyed being followed.

But when I received a letter from home at noon the next day, everything was different.

Zhang Xiao still remembers reading the letter, Malfoy's whole body collapsed, his eyes were red, and then he left in a hurry, and that afternoon he also saw Malfoy trying to dry his pillowcase with magic.

Out of concern for Brother Tu, Zhang Xiao asked, but Malfoy only shook his head after hesitating for a while, and Zhang Xiao didn't ask much, the most important thing between getting along with friends is a sense of proportion.

As a friend, it's enough to be there when he needs you most.

Zhang Xiao's life is relaxed and happy again, going to class every day, writing homework, and going to Hagrid's side to take care of his vegetable patch with him when he has free time.

Sure enough, as Hagrid said, he was a veteran, and he had a knack for taking care of animals and plants, and he had some tips for his own thoughts.

Although there were a few things he hadn't grown, Hagrid said that with a little time, he would be able to figure out the path of these little things.

......

"Forbidden Forest? Albus, did I hear me wrong? You mean the Forbidden Forest? ”

A spacious, beautiful circular room, the walls of which are covered with portraits that are now asleep with their eyes closed, but whose ears twitch gently show that they are quietly listening to the conversation in the room.

Professor McGonagall was like a fearless lion, staring straight at Dumbledore with her stern gaze, and said word by word:

"No! Even if a few children have violated the school rules, but the heart is good, this punishment is too heavy, and you know, the Forbidden Forest has not been peaceful recently, there is ....."

Albus Dumbledore seemed to have long been accustomed to the attitude of his old friend, and his slender fingers took out a piece of bee candy from the silver tray on the table, and said in response:

"Minerva, I went to Albania and found some... Interesting traces, likewise, have recently appeared in the Forbidden Forest. ”

"Interesting traces? Albus, you mean.." Professor McGonagall reacted quickly, then looked at Dumbledore in disbelief and said excitedly:

"Then let them go to the Forbidden Forest? And they are only first-year freshmen, and they have no ability to protect themselves! ”

Dumbledore's blue eyes were incomparably deep, as if he could see through the fog, and he said softly:

"Minerva, I'll follow them, and besides, I want to verify something."

McGonagall miraculously regained her composure, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and finally nodded:

"If you're following... Well, well, you're always so stubborn. Time set for after Halloween? ”

.........

Zhang Xiao looked at the punishment notice in his hand, his head was full of question marks, I understand the reason, but why should I be punished? Isn't it too much?

Malfoy, who was beside him, had already begun to tremble, and came over with a frightened face, and whispered:

"Zhang, I heard my father say that there are savage and cruel centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, and there are even werewolves!

No, I must tell my dad and ask him to write to Dumbledore that I don't want to go to the Forbidden Forest, this punishment is too much! ”

As he spoke, a strange emotion surged up in Malfoy's heart, if it was like what my father said, I was not impulsive, but maintained the usual calmness and shrewdness of the Malfoy family....

Not only centaurs and werewolves, but also great spiders and wild Voldemort!

Zhang Xiao also frowned and looked at the notice, this punishment is indeed unreasonable, the points have been deducted, and the punishment will be reduced accordingly, just like beating someone in the previous life, and you don't have to go to jail after losing money and settling.

Forbidden Forest.. It's equivalent to losing money after a fight and being sentenced to life, isn't this outrageous?

Unless.... The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!

He carefully recalled the plot, and he remembered some events, but the order was really a little unclear, but in any case, it seemed that the punishment of the Forbidden Forest had only appeared once.

At that time, I discussed this issue with people on the Internet, and everyone said that children's books have such a strict logic, just have fun.

But the key problem is that now it's on your head!

Well, first of all, rule out the possibility that Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall wanted these little wizards to send it.

Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered his doubts about going to school until now, Dumbledore really didn't know that Quirrell had a problem?

You must know that he has personally investigated every professor's appointment, not to mention the "symbolic" course of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

In Snape's words, "You're hiding behind gardens and bushes, carefully watching your target's every movement?" ”

After quickly brushing the entire Philosopher's Stone, Zhang Xiao gasped.

Understood, all understood.

There were a hundred more secure ways to protect the Philosopher's Stone, such as the simplest one, which Dumbledore tied around his waist.

But Dumbledore still chose a defensive method like a child's play, starting with Hagrid, a big man who couldn't hide his words, to the exposure of clues, and then to the final game.

It also happened that all of them were problems that a first-year wizard could solve, but it was okay to use a brick wall to build a block to put up three small philosophers, because they wouldn't explode and fall apart.....

Zhang Xiao's eyes were blazing, as if he had seen through some fog, what magic stones, what mechanisms, and what children's books.

This is how Dumbledore scouted newcomers, and fished by the way.

The point is that Quirrell's stupid fish has really been caught, and anyone with a little brain can see that it is a trap, so he almost wrote the word trap on the door on the fourth floor.

But Quirrell obviously has two brains, why would he fall for this? (Note 1)

Zhang Xiao didn't understand this problem even if he wanted to break his head, and in the end he could only simply attribute it to Voldemort's orders.

But in any case, what is certain is that Dumbledore killed two birds with one stone, winning twice!
