Chapter 340 338. Cedric Diggory
Jon searched for a while in the abandoned tribe of the centaur, hoping to find some more useful information from it.
However, like the dead spiders here, it seems that something has happened for a long time. Even if there was some information left at the beginning, nothing has been found until now.
But Jon didn't see at least one centaur corpse in it, which is a good thing in disguise.
After all, the centaurs are much more intelligent than those of the acromanders. If Voldemort plans to send people to wipe them out, they must know that even if all the centaurs in the world join them, they will have no way to resist.
Therefore, it is impossible for the horse people to be unscathed, but it is estimated that they will not be slaughtered directly.
Hoss doesn't know where the centaur fled to now, and Jon also feels that there is no need to waste time to continue searching. Even if there are still some centaur hiding in the Forbidden Forest, he can contact them, and it will not help them. big.
"There is one last one, Maurice, Hagrid said it is a dog with a strange tail, can you find it?"
Jon asked Hoss about the last name Hagrid gave him, but Hoss stared at him, and finally just shook his head.
It doesn't look like it knows the dog named Morris.
Jon didn't get too entangled in this. Being able to do what he is doing now is far beyond his previous expectations. Even if there is no news about Morris in the end, he feels that the information he has now can bring to Hagrid. It was enough for Hagrid to digest it for a while.
According to Jon's calculations, today is just right, and Hagrid's request has basically been fulfilled. In the next period of time, he will start to focus on the competition.
But Jon is not in a hurry to think of a way to deal with those fire dragons overnight tonight. Although Hoss is a lecherous donkey, having him by his side can save Jon a lot of trouble.
At least he doesn't have to worry about rushing in the Forbidden Forest to find where the fire dragons are.
The night gradually enveloped the entire Forbidden Forest. Instead of moving to other places, Jon chose to set up a bonfire in the center of this abandoned tribe, and then wandered in the nearby woods for a while, grabbing a few wild rabbit.
I don’t know how Voldemort controlled and managed the Forbidden Forest after he took control of Hogwarts Castle, but except for the actions against the acromantula and the centaurs, the ecology of the entire Forbidden Forest seems to be very natural , whether it’s magical animals or ordinary animals here, it’s like they’ve never seen anyone before. When Jon was catching rabbits, these stupid rabbits didn’t realize it until he pinched their ears. Kicking his legs to resist.
After Hoss saw that he had caught the prey, his big and small eyes showed a look of regret. Jon happened to meet the rabbit's eyes when he was handling the rabbit.
At that moment, he could probably guess what the pervert was thinking.
"Why do you regret that I didn't catch a baby doe or something to give you a refreshment before eating?"
Hoss's eyes were shining like a chicken pecking rice and he kept nodding, as if he thought that Jon could guess what it was thinking, and he probably wouldn't mind eating another calf later.
But the next second, Jon slapped its lustful face.
"You're so perverted. I'll ask Hagrid when I get back. Is it because you were brought up by him when you were young, or did you learn to be bad after you left him? I really don't forget to find my little mother when I do everything." deer."
Hoss didn't feel embarrassed by Jon's lesson. He shook his mouth nonchalantly, as if he wanted to argue with Jon that this is the nature of animals.
Jon was too lazy to take care of it. He put the prepared rabbit on the fire, and finished tonight's dinner skillfully.
When he was on the Hogwarts before, Jon led the students to make barbecues on the deck of the ship. Although the craftsmanship is not so good, it can be called not bad.
At least after he tore a rabbit leg for Hoss (as a Pegasus, of course it also eats meat), it seemed quite satisfied with Jon's craftsmanship.
The night gradually deepened, and Jon was making some small plans for tomorrow's actions by the campfire.
Regarding Fire Dragon, he didn't have any paralysis or carelessness, and he didn't really believe that in this Triwizard Tournament, the Beauxbaton warrior named Emile was really unprepared.
As the two people chosen to take part in this match for Voldemort, Jon actually made a test early this morning.
He knocked Draco down and threw him out of the game in front of Voldemort. He didn't intend to provoke that man or anything. Jon actually wanted to see if Voldemort had any hope for these two people. They can get the final victory of the game.
And from Draco's calm reaction when he was out of the game, Jon couldn't see what kind of expectations he had for the young master of the Malfoy family.
But that Emil, among other things, did have a lot of vigor at such a young age, and actually used him as a human shield to block spells in front of Draco's own father. This is not something that ordinary students who have not yet graduated can He did it, and he should be expected more by Voldemort depending on his behavior.
Therefore, Jon actually had some ideas to find the Emil in the Forbidden Forest. After all, there is no restriction in the rules of the game that they cannot attack each other and **** the Golden Snitch that the other party has already obtained. He really wants to see what kind of abilities this Emil has. .
The gains and losses of a game are nothing, and only the exact information of the opponent can reflect the greatest benefits for all subsequent plans.
Jon thought this way, lying on the blanket created by Transfiguration with a weed in his mouth, and Hoss ran out to have fun after dinner. Jon didn't restrain it, but warned it that it must Come back before dawn tomorrow, and if it runs off to roll the grass with some strange animals, it must clean itself before returning, or put it on the campfire to disinfect first,
Just as Jon looked at the starry sky covered by the branches and leaves of trees, a different feeling suddenly rose in his heart!
This feeling was very wonderful, as if it was some kind of premonition, then Jon raised the wand in his hand without hesitation, and pointed the tip of the wand at a bush behind him!
"All petrified!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the dazzling petrification spell shot out from his wand, and in the next instant, it pierced through the dense blade of grass!
Jon could clearly hear a panic commotion, followed by a hurried footstep.
He frowned, stood up from the bonfire, and didn't take the risk of chasing after him at the first time. If Hoss was still by his side, maybe he would have caught up without hesitation, but now even if he uses the ring to fly up, in the In such a dense forest and dark environment, it is not easy to chase a person.
What's more, no one knows if this is a trap. He may not have forgotten that this Forbidden Forest can be said to be Voldemort's home field. If he has an idea to make some small moves in it, it will definitely not be difficult. .
Jon walked to the bushes pierced by his petrification spell, and soon found a piece of rag among the broken leaves.
This was obviously left behind by the previous person. Jon's petrification spell did not hit his body directly, but tore his robe, but Jon couldn't see anything from this piece of fabric alone. up.
What he can be sure of is that the Emir who is clearly hostile to him in this Forbidden Forest is definitely not wearing this color and style of robe, and it is definitely not Diane's. Its owner is more likely to be one of the Triwizard Tournament other outsiders.
Which side might this outsider come from?
Jon walked back to the campfire, staring at the piece of cloth, the dancing firelight reflected on his face.
When it was just dawn, Cedric sat up from the four-poster bed with a haggard face.
Most of the roommates in his dormitory have already dressed and are going to the auditorium to have breakfast. They are all waiting for Cedric.
"You look very bad, Cedric, would you like us to bring you breakfast and ask the professor for leave?"
Cedric's condition really made people feel a little bad. He stared blankly at the scene beside the bed for a while, and then nodded to the classmate he was talking about.
"Thank you, Armand, help me ask the professor for half a day off, just say that I don't feel well."
He is very popular among classmates, and everyone in the same dormitory is very concerned about his health.
"Then you have a good rest, we will explain clearly to the professor."
Watching them leave the dormitory. After being left alone in the room, Cedric lay back on the bed again. He didn't catch up on sleep immediately, but stared blankly with his eyes broken.
One of the reasons for his poor state is this. He fell asleep intermittently, and would wake up from the dream from time to time.
Even now, he is extremely exhausted mentally, but he still doesn't feel much sleepiness, and he is still in a state where his brain doesn't know whether to concentrate or let go, thinking about some outrageous things.
Not long after, the roommate named Armand came back and brought him breakfast. After Cedric finished eating a sandwich with bacon and ham, he lay back on the bed again.
Outside the dormitory, the sun had gradually risen. He changed his position from the bed, looked at the sunlight shining into the dormitory, and thought silently in his heart. It's time to start a new day of action.
The news about Draco being eliminated on the first day of the competition had already spread to the ears of the entire Hogwarts Castle students during dinner yesterday.
However, after knowing the whole process of the matter, not many people ridiculed Draco. This is not because the young master of the Malfoy family is very popular in school, but because students of mixed race dare not speak casually in private. Talking about the pure-blood students, and the pure-blood students only expressed a few words of dissatisfaction because Lucius was maintaining law and order in the school, but did not say too much.
Didn't say anything to Draco, scolded Jon, these students didn't care at all.
What kind of villain sneak attacking from behind, what is really a little black wizard student taught by the dark wizard Dumbledore, what only such a lowly status can make him do such a lowly thing, anyway, he can do whatever he can to smear and abuse.
Whether it is a pure-blood student or a mixed-race student, the wind direction is the same. Under the Hogwarts education led by Voldemort, they have developed their own sense of belonging, and this sense of belonging will certainly not favor Deng Xiaoping. Bullido them.
However, Cedric has a different view on these things from others. He has been trying his best to dissuade the students around him from insulting someone behind their backs indiscriminately, but even if he usually No matter how popular the other people are, no one will listen to his advice at this time. On the contrary, many people persuade him not to think about these great principles at this time. The enemy has already arrived at their door. What can they do? said?
But Cedric has a word that has been hidden in his heart, hesitant to speak.
Who is their enemy and where is their home?
Fortunately, he still has a measure in his heart, knowing that as long as some words are spoken, it will not only affect him alone, but even his father who works in the Ministry of Magic will be implicated by him.
While he was lying on the bed in the dormitory and thinking, there was a knock on the door, and then a gentle female voice came in.
"Mr Diggory, may I come in?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Cedric felt a little flustered in his heart, but soon, he suppressed the panic and responded in a slightly weak voice.
"Come in, please."
The one who entered was an elderly witch with a tall and thin figure and a concerned expression on her face.
Adriana Greengrass, the current helm of the Pureblood family—the Greengrass family, is also the dean of the Half-Blood College at Hogwarts Castle and a professor of transfiguration.
Although she is a pure-blood, she has always had a high reputation among mixed-race students, and she has never shown any obvious difference between pure-blood and mixed-race students. Criticized.
After entering the dormitory, the witch went straight to Cedric.
"I received a reason for asking for leave from Armand. He said that you seem to have a cold and feel unwell?"
"Thank you for making a special trip, Professor, it may be because of the cold wind blowing after the Quidditch training yesterday, and I got dizzy in the morning."
"Your father and I are old friends, and he specially asked me to take care of you in school. You have always been his pride, so you are sick, of course I want to come and see. How do you feel now? Do you want me to take you to the school hospital for a check?"
