Chapter 74 Adventure in the Forbidden Forest
Everyone was shocked!
Delayed here for too long, and ended up alarming Professor McGonagall.
"Okay! It's too arrogant to go out at night in the middle of the night and make a lot of noise!"
Professor McGonagall saw that there were four in his college and three in Slytherin. Well, it was still a group crime.
"20 points deducted for each person! One month's confinement!"
The next day, the students discovered at the entrance of the auditorium that in the hourglass of the college scores, Gryffindors had gained 80 points, and Slytherin had lost 60 points. They immediately exploded.
Ted worked on it for more than half a year, and only with the full assistance of Professor Snape, points were deducted for each class. After deducting 100 points, you can deduct 80 points overnight? It has to be you!
Students from the two colleges, the eyes of these deductors are all wrong.
Ted: Is there hope for the Academy Cup? Impossible, absolutely impossible, and Dumbledore has the bottom line!
What made Ted even more concerned was that none of the professors needed the students to do anything, so Professor McGonagall handed over the confinement work to Filch.
And all Filch could think of was cleaning the toilets and cleaning the trophies.
But Harry Malfoy and the others are habitual offenders in confinement, and Filch is especially malicious, so he directly arranges them to help patrol the Forbidden Forest.
Okay~ Didn’t hide in the end!
That's the Forbidden Forest!
It is already very dangerous at ordinary times, such as man-eating eight-eyed spiders, very unfriendly centaurs, all kinds of dangerous dark creatures, magical animals, just walking in the woods at night is already quite scary.
Malfoy almost didn't write a letter to call him dad after learning that he would spend two hours wandering in the Forbidden Forest at night for less than half a month.
It was Harry who laughed at him, **** him off, but still terrified.
The next night, Filch's ugly face blossomed into a smile, and brought a total of seven people to Hagrid.
"Don't make it 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 is difficult for people who have studied at Hogwarts to have a good impression of Filch. This stuff is kind of nasty indeed.
Watching Filch walking away with the lantern, Hagrid felt a headache when he saw the seven little ones in front of him.
He himself is in the Forbidden Forest, which is naturally like a back garden. But for little wizards, the Forbidden Forest is indeed dangerous.
Not to mention that there are seven of them, how can I take care of them?
Oh, I can't take care of people at all, that's okay.
Hagrid can't help it. Naturally, confinement cannot be faked. Isn't that indulgence and violation of school rules?
Finally, he added himself and Yaya to the seven and divided them into two groups.
"The three of you are with me." He pointed at the three of Malfoy.
"Harry, the four of you are in a group with Fangya. Although Fangya is timid, he is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest. Follow him and the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will not touch you."
"Oh, by the way, if something happens, set off green fireworks, have you learned it? If you encounter danger, set off red fireworks."
In this way, the soldiers divided into two groups, each holding torches, lanterns and magic wands, and entered the forest.
The so-called inspection of the forbidden forest is naturally just a show to scare the children.
Can they really let them go deep into the Forbidden Forest? Ya Ya was just leading the way around the path he used to walk.
After walking out for a few minutes, Harry called softly: "Ted? Ted? Are you there?"
Although Ted had made up his mind before that he would never step into the Forbidden Forest this year, it was different now.
If they really met Voldemort, they would definitely die. Are you counting on the protagonist's halo?
If you sneak attack in the dark, you still have a chance to delay the time.
Now that Voldemort is in such a ghostly state, he can only pin his hopes on Quirrell and the Sorcerer's Stone. He dare not make a big fuss, for fear of alarming Dumbledore and affecting his resurrection plan.
So as long as I can hold on for even a few tens of seconds, Quirrell will definitely run away, instead of insisting on killing a few little wizards, that will only be counterproductive.
So, Ted finally gritted his teeth and borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak, put it on, and walked with his friends to the Forbidden Forest.
To be honest, he is much more nervous than his nervous friends.
They were just afraid of the dark and the beasts that might appear, and Ted was worried about Voldemort.
"I'm here. Don't make a sound, just pretend I'm not here. Follow Yaya, don't run around. The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, you must be ready to fight at any time, just like when we were 'dueling'..." Ted responded in a low voice, and then No more sound.
Even the friends don't know where others are.
Because when he spoke just now, his voice drifted back and forth, sometimes in the front, sometimes behind, suddenly left and suddenly right.
At this time, Ted has entered the state of preparation for battle. He uses the ghost sound technique for speaking, and usually surrounds himself with a sound-suppressing spell to ensure that the sound of footsteps and breathing will not be heard.
Even sprinkled himself with a potion to eliminate the smell, and the cards in his mind were ready at any time.
The Forbidden Forest at night is very dark, the trees are too tall, even if the moonlight is bright, after passing through layers of branches, they are all broken.
It is only mid-May now. If it is August and September when the leaves are lush, it will probably be dark.
The forest is not silent, there are all kinds of insects not far away, and farther away, there are occasionally some strange and indistinguishable strange calls.
Sometimes the wind blows the branches and slides, the leaves rustle, and the grass and trees also make sounds.
Malfoy followed Hagrid, and his calf was about to get cramped. All he wanted was to hide behind Hagrid and hug Hagrid's thigh tightly. The contempt in the past is really gone now.
However, Hagrid gave them three steps in one step, and although they had slowed down, they still made it hard for them to chase.
While being afraid, he chased after him, as if there was something behind him, and it seemed that there was something behind every shadow, every tree, and his forehead was already sweating after only ten minutes.
Don't tell me, there are quite a lot of weird things in this Forbidden Forest.
Grows on a tree trunk more than two people high, open in the middle of the night, strange vine flowers emitting blue light.
A big beetle with a strange sound like playing an erhu.
Crouching on the branch, after being startled by Malfoy and the others, there was a strange howl like a ghost, and the unknown bird soaring into the sky—Malfoy and the three sat on the ground in fright.
To make matters worse, they ran into a strange nocturnal creature.
It was a strange creature about 1.5 meters tall, covered in dark red camouflage scales, it was like being invisible in the dark night of the Forbidden Forest, and the two sides only discovered each other when they were only three steps away.
This thing looks like a slender velociraptor at first glance? The head is very big, the beak is not small but short like a bird's beak, and the neck has a fleshy crown that can be opened. At this time, it is frightened and opened, just like a dark red antenna pot.
It has a pair of wings that are a bit small in proportion, and a long tail behind it, a pair of ostrich-like long legs that are densely covered with scales, which can be described as thick, and the four-fingered claws are very sharp.
"Ah~~" Malfoy screamed, almost becoming the sound of a dolphin.
Goyle and Grubb turned around and ran in a panic. Fortunately, there were tree roots on the ground, and they tripped the two fools, and were held down by Hagrid. Otherwise, if you get lost in the Forbidden Forest at night, it will be troublesome.
"Relax, it's safe...can you stop screaming?" Hagrid, who was so courageous, was horrified by Malfoy's horror movie heroine scream.
He managed to calm down the three little wizards, keeping them behind like an old hen.
"This is a big monster bird, it's not dangerous. Look~" He reached out to touch the big monster bird, and was pecked hard, but Hagrid didn't hurt at all, he just thought it was the other party playing with him, hehe Laughed.
Malfoy immediately rolled his eyes: Is he safe? I think it wants to eat people!
This mouth, this claw, this body shape? Safe bird feather?
Also, it has scales and no feathers, it looks like a string of fire dragons and ostriches, why is it called a big monster bird!
Malfoy was so frightened that he was about to change jobs and complain.
But the big monster bird looks scary, and it is not too dangerous, but it is very curious, and it still poses a certain threat to the little wizard.
As for Hagrid, the underage dragon is not in any danger.
…
Malfoy encountered a big monster bird, and it was not all smooth sailing for Harry and the others.
Although the old dog Yaya knows the way and is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest, he took them around for a long time and avoided many strange things, but he still encountered a thing he had never seen before.
Ron was tired and leaned on a big rock to take a rest, but the big rock suddenly moved and stuck out a head!
The shape of that head is simply weird, and it looks a bit jade-like, with some bumps and lines.
A mouth sunken inward like a chrysanthemum, two pairs of big golden eyeballs, the pupils are a kind of scattered black, and there are several bumpy tentacles on the head, which can even be extended!
That is a huge snail with a shell nearly two meters high!
This thing retracted into the shell and remained motionless, pretending to be exactly the same as a big rock, and it didn't even have a smell. Fang Ya didn't realize that there was a monster sleeping here.
Ron said "Oh my god" and almost jumped up the tree.
Harry 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 sentence is a bit familiar~
Ted's voice came floatingly: "This should be the giant snail, a magical animal that does no harm to people. The only harm may be that it crawls into your vegetable garden and ruins the vegetables. But it usually doesn't To the places where humans live."
"This is the first time that a magical animal from another world appeared in this world after the star confluence. I have only seen pictures in books before, and this is the first time I have seen a real one."
"I heard that the mucus secreted by this thing when it crawls can make the road very smooth. It is a good magic building material..."
Hearing that it is a magical animal from another world, Jerry suddenly has a sense of intimacy when he sees it, maybe he is a fellow!
This giant snail is indeed docile. It looked at everyone with four big golden eyes, and then retracted its head into the shell again and remained still.
However, the snail shell turned into a big rock as if it had put on a layer of camouflage. Natural camouflage!
The first night’s inspection of the Forbidden Forest made Ted very tired. After walking for two hours, he had to be tense and vigilant at any time.
As a result, although they encountered some magical creatures on the first night, under the leadership of Yaya, they did not encounter any danger.
But when he thought that there was still half a month left, Ted felt a little desperate.
