Chapter 43: Professor Emerson
Hope used the orientation charm again to confirm the direction, and the direction was correct, and it seemed that the old centaur was really pointing them in the right direction.
On the way back, the three of them rarely relaxed.
Caleb said meaningfully, "I finally know why Headmaster Dumbledore kept us away from the Forbidden Forest, it's really dangerous here. ”
Hope and Matteo nodded in agreement.
The periphery of the Forbidden Forest is completely different from the Forbidden Forest, Hope thinks that it may have been arranged by Headmaster Dumbledore, when they were on the periphery, they were still within the scope of Hogwarts, there were no dangerous magical beasts at all, most of them were almost harmless magical beasts like the Cauldron of the Tree Guard, except for the Lowe raised by Hagrid.
Look at the current in-depth now, meet the Ruiam cow being chased, and the eight-eyed spider being chased, what will you encounter next? Hope didn't think it was unusual to meet poachers.
As the three of them walked, they actually ran into a man in a black robe when they walked through a bush.
Hope: O_o? I just thought, don't take it seriously!
The three of them skillfully put on a good posture, and the principle of striking first is strong and then attacking, and the three of them directly greeted the past with three petrification spells.
I saw that the black-robed man just randomly provoked his wand, and their petrification charm was picked out.
"It's over, it's a master." Hope thought to himself in despair. Wizards will always be much more difficult to deal with than Fantastic Beasts.
Just as the three of them were thinking about how to escape, the black-robed man took off his huge hat and said, "I remember your name is Hope, Hufflepuff, and it is against the school rules to sneak into the Forbidden Forest." ”
Only then did the three of Hope see it clearly, and said in surprise: "Professor Emerson? ”
Caleb and Matteo relaxed and walked towards Professor Emerson, while Hope looked at him with some wariness.
Whether it is the Ruiem Cow in the Forbidden Forest or the eight-eyed spider swarm, it all shows that there must be dark wizards in the Forbidden Forest, and the most important thing is that there are few good people in the Dark Arts Defense Professor.
Emerson saw Hope, who was still wary of him, took out a thermos cup from his arms and took a sip, and said with some appreciation: "It's a good habit to be vigilant, especially in an unfamiliar environment." ”
Hope scratched his head a little embarrassed, is it so obvious?
Hope asked, "Professor, what are you doing in the Forbidden Forest?" ”
Professor Emerson sighed helplessly and said, "I'll prepare the textbook for you next week." ”
Hope looked up and down at Professor Emerson and his somewhat tattered wizarding robes. Air?
Professor Emerson spread his hands and said, "No need to look for it, I originally caught a few, but I was unlucky enough to encounter some dangerous magical beasts on the way, so I threw them away." ”
Matteo said, "Is it an eight-eyed spider?" We also came across. Matteo, who thought of the dense spider, couldn't help but shudder.
Emerson was a little surprised, and said, "It's indeed an eight-eyed spider, and you have met it too?" His eyes looked at the three of them in disbelief: "This is not something you little wizards can deal with, how did you escape?" ”
Matteo was about to answer, but Hope immediately interrupted, "We met the centaurs, and they saved us." ”
Apparently Hope wanted to keep his Animagus secret, and Matteo and Caleb kept their mouths shut. Hope, if they were to Animagus, they would be showing off everywhere.
Hope would have scoffed if he knew what they were thinking, knowing that there used to be several Gryffindor capitals Animagus, but no one except them knew that Gryffindor could hide so well, you two were really fake Hufflepuffs.
Emerson rubbed his chin and said with a smile, "Then you are so lucky, it's good that I left with a shapeshifter, otherwise you would have to change the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor again." ”
Hearing this, the three of them smiled, Emerson was really funny.
"Professor, what are you going to grab? Need our help? Hope asked.
Emerson waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, but no, they are still a bit dangerous for you little wizards." ”
Professor Emerson thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you, but I won't give you extra points when I'm done answering questions in class." After all, if you are prepared in advance, it is not fair to other students. ”
Matteo and Caleb shook their heads repeatedly, saying that forget it, their Hufflepuff is currently the number one in the house points, thanks to Hopga, although he also deducted a lot of points.
Hope asked, "Does the professor know about the Ryam cow?" When we first entered the Forbidden Forest, we met three heads. ”
Emmerson's eyes moved slightly, and he said with some surprise: "Ream Cow? That thing lives in the wilderness, and there's such a creature in the Forbidden Forest? ”
Seeing the affirmative eyes of the three of them, Emerson asked quietly, "Do you remember where it was?" ”
Hope scratched his head and said, "I don't remember, I was chased by them, and then I ran into the eight-eyed spider, and we didn't know where we were now." ”
Emerson didn't seem to care, and didn't ask any further.
After a peaceful journey, the group returned to Hogwarts safely under the leadership of Professor Emerson.
It didn't take long for the three Hope to remember that Emerson was a professor, and Matteo and Caleb looked at Professor Emerson pitifully, as if they had seen a monster called Confinement and Deduction of Points.
Emerson looked at their little eyes, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Now you know you're scared?" But for the sake of our shared weal and woe, I won't tell Professor McGonagall this time, but don't venture into the Forbidden Forest again. ”
The three of them hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Back in the dormitory, Matteo and Caleb praised Professor Emerson for being a good person.
Hope lay on the bed and recalled what happened to the Forbidden Forest, depressed to find that this ability to communicate with magical beasts seemed to be useless, and he couldn't persuade him at all.
And Professor Emerson is a little suspicious, Hope said suspiciously: "Why do you think Professor Emerson went to the Forbidden Forest to grab textbooks, it's so dangerous, can't you just buy it directly, and the professor's salary is expensive, and the school will reimburse the teaching equipment." ”
Matteo and Caleb shook their heads.
Magical creatures that can be used as teaching materials in class are very dangerous, and they are not rare, and they don't cost much to buy.
Matteo thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that you can't buy it?" ”
It makes sense, Hope thought about it, these dangerous magical creatures are basically worthless, there is indeed no one to hunt them for money, and the valuable ones are basically in the reserve, just like goblins, puff velvet or something.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, Professor Emerson really can't leave the cup, the textbooks are all lost, the body is still tattered, and the thermos cup is still intact.
