From the time he started to eat dinner, Malfoy's already pale face was as white as paper, and he began to talk to himself, reassuring himself that the school would not cause any harm to the students.

When he heard this, Zhang Xiao looked at Cedric silently, if it wasn't for good luck, the basilisk was estimated to be able to take away at least 3 people in the secret room, plus a cat.

In his previous life, he had read many novels in which Hogwarts was a powerful magical creation, and the Headmaster was able to control the entire school, even to every corner.

The important argument is the Hogwarts motto "Do not disturb the dragon".

But can the headmaster really monitor the corners of the castle and not find the basilisk?

In fact, this motto comes from Salazar Slytherin.

His father brought back a dragon from India, and used a powerful sleep charm to put it to sleep in the dungeons of Hogwarts.

At the instigation of the Hogsmeade Muggle Kids, the young Slytherin took them to the dungeon to wake up the sleeping dragon.

The consequences were devastating, with all of his Muggle friends dead, and his own mother dying at the dragon's mouth, and Slytherin watched as his mother wailed and screamed in the dragon's mouth.

So he made "Sleeping Dragon, Do Not Disturb" as a school motto to warn his students not to touch things that they couldn't control, and to warn the dark wizards who tried to destroy Hogwarts that it was a sleeping dragon and not to try to provoke it!

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xiao and Malfoy said goodbye to their first-year friends, and then went upstairs to the foyer together. Filch was already waiting there.

Harry, along with Ron and Neville, also walked in the direction of Gryffindor Towers with heavy faces.

Malfoy snorted coldly, turned his face to the side, and said in his characteristic tone:

"I thought you were scared to pee your pants in the break room."

Ron snorted and sneered:

"Malfoy, I heard that you wrote twenty letters to your father, begging him to let you not go to the Forbidden Forest, but it's a pity that Headmaster Dumbledore ignored your all-powerful father."

Malfoy's face flushed, and he wanted to say something, but Filch had already shouted loudly:

"Shut up, you unruly bad boys! It's a shame that they've done away with the old-fashioned forms of punishment of the past.

Hang your wrists and hang you from the ceiling for days.

I still have those chains in my office, and I oil them a lot, maybe one of them. The day will come in handy, let's go, but don't try to escape. But if you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat. ”

They strode across the pitch-black field, Neville sniffling. Harry and Ron's breathing quickened.

Malfoy didn't speak, but Zhang Xiao could hear his teeth seem to be "rattling" all the time.

The moonlight was bright, but clouds kept drifting over and obscuring the moon, plunging them into darkness. Soon they saw a light not far away, and it was Hagrid's hut.

Then they heard a rough shout in the distance:

"Is that you, Filch? Hurry up, I'm leaving. ”

Harry and Ron's breathing suddenly stopped, and they couldn't help but laugh and said excitedly:

"Hagrid! It's Hagrid! ”

Maybe it's because I can't get used to their elated appearance.

Just hear Filch say, "You probably thought you'd have a good time with that idiot, right?" (Note 1)

Boy, who do you think this stupid big guy can protect in the Forbidden Forest?

Think again, boy—you're going to the Forbidden Forest!"

Then the flickering lights flickered, and Filch had a vicious smile on his face, and it seemed to him a great pleasure to watch these wizards suffer and even die.

"Shut up! Filch! What qualifications do you have to call Hagrid an idiot? You can't do magic? ”

Zhang Xiao glanced at him and asked coldly, and Harry Ron also glared angrily.

Filch was a Squib, he was pathetic, yes, but it wasn't the little wizard who made him a Squib, and that visceral hatred and jealousy made the administrator extremely ugly.

He could have chosen a different life, using his identity to become a broker who resells things between ordinary people and magical society, and can live a very prosperous and stable life.

A lot of Squibs choose this way, but to take the simplest example, guess how much the sports superstars who quit the game because of their ankles and knees are willing to pay for a bottle of Raw Bones?

So since you chose to stay in the wizarding world and become the administrator of Hogwarts, but you hate those little wizards and try your best to embarrass them, isn't it psychopathic?

Filch's shriveled old face was distorted, he stopped talking, cursed in a low voice, and even abandoned his duty, and walked away without sending them to the place, holding the lantern.

Ron and Harry quietly gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand, ignoring the disgusting old squib, raised his wand and fired a string of sparks into the sky, shouting loudly:

"Hagrid, we're here!"

Only dull footsteps could get closer and closer, Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, Tooth and Tooth following. Hagrid carried his massive stone bow and a well-stocked quiver on his shoulder.

I have to say that Hagrid's oppressive figure is full of security at the moment.

"It's almost time," he said, "and I've been waiting for half an hour." Hello, Chang, Harry, Ron. ’’

He looked around for a moment and asked suspiciously:

"What about Filch? Didn't he say he sent you here? ”

Ron hurriedly said:

"Filch just called you a fool and was scolded by Zhang!"

Hagrid let out a cold snort from his furry head comparable to that of a tractor:

"It's not worth it, that disgusting old cripple has bullied me since I was in school, and he secretly told me why a monster like me who is not a human can come to Hogwarts and he can't."

The little wizards were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Filch to dare to say such things in secret.

Harry and Ron were so angry that they hugged Hagrid to comfort their honest friend.

Hagrid waved his hand nonchalantly:

"It's all gone, life has to move forward! In addition to Filch, I also met a lot of good people, and Dumbledore trusted me, and that was enough!

Let's go, time is ticking! ”

The group followed Hagrid to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid stopped, his voice becoming serious:

"Listen, kids, the Forbidden Forest hasn't been peaceful lately, and although we're only walking around the outermost part this time, we're still in danger.

I don't know why Professor Dumbledore asked you to come to the Forbidden Forest, but he must have had it in mind. ”

Malfoy asked tremblingly:

"Forbidden... What happened in the Forbidden Forest? ”

Hagrid glanced at him, and saw that Zhang Xiao was also nodding, so he said in a rough voice:

"There's been an uninvited guest here lately, and it's chasing unicorns, and the unicorns have disappeared.

So our task is to find a trail or a unicorn, you can. ”

Zhang Xiao pinched his eyebrows, there was one thing he didn't say, he had a vague feeling in his heart since the morning.

Tonight, something big could happen!

Note 1: That's how Filch scolded Hagrid in the original book, you can't ignore his hatefulness because of the pathetic nature of the character, Filch is a pure pervert.
