Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 397
"...If you don't mind, I also want to'make' more friends."
Ron and Hermione were a little caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the boy named Sokas.
After Maca's warning was first transmitted to them by Harry, they unconsciously wanted to stay away from this person.And the opponent's slightly inclined Slytherin posture just made them feel a little relieved.
When the other party's intentions have not been'disclosed', it is the most sensible behavior to keep a certain distance and secretly probe.
But I never thought that the other party would step into their circle so abruptly.This couldn't help making Hermione feel confused while secretly vigilant.
What does he want to do?
"Of course we welcome'make' friends, but..." Hermione carefully organized the words, "We must stay in the castle, Professor McGonagall has just ordered."
"Really?" Sokas smiled, "Yes, since we are students, then the professor must know how to listen..."
He affirmed Hermione's words first, but in a blink of an eye he began to refute it calmly.
"But in some emergencies, we must also know how to think, judge, and act by ourselves -" Sokas said seriously, "Just like now, the situation in the Forbidden Forest requires us to think of a solution together. ."
"'The situation in the forbidden forest'?" Hermione looked at him inexplicably.
"Yes, haven't you found out yet?" Sokas met Hermione's suspicious and suspicious gaze without any evasion, and said calmly, "A worse situation has occurred in the forbidden forest." Mr. Po't might be in danger!"
"What are you talking about?" Ron frowned. "What happened in the Forbidden Forest? And, aren't you with us? How did you know?"
"You know it at a glance?" Sokas waved to them, and then as if he knew they would follow by themselves, he turned and walked to the corner of the corridor when he came.
Indeed, hearing what he said, the two people who cared about Harry and Hagrid's comfort could not fail to take a look.Even if the other party is lying, you can only keep up with the other party while reminding yourself to be vigilant at all times.
After Sokas' back figure disappeared from the corner, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and then stepped forward at the same time.
In the corridor on the other side of the corner, the outside scene can be seen through the window.If you try to look to the right, you can indeed see the forbidden forest.
Although only part of it can be seen, it must be a dense and uninteresting canopy at first glance.
When they turned the corner, they immediately saw Sokas-he did not go far, just standing by the window quietly waiting for the arrival of Hermione and Ron.
The two of them glanced at Sokas hesitantly, and then looked out the window with their nerves strained.
Only at first glance, they found that the other party did not lie, because they soon saw the abnormality on the side of the forbidden forest-there was a crooked crack in the middle of the undulating dark green canopy. , And at one end of the gap, near the outer circle of the forbidden forest, there was a black'color' that was roughly squeezing the trees and moving forward.
After all, the Forbidden Forest is still some distance away from the castle, and it is difficult to see exactly what the black'color' is here.
But of course Hermione and Ron knew...
No, I believe it can be seen by individuals. The black'color' must be some kind of huge creature, which is so big that it can't be completely covered by the towering tree canopy.
"What is that?" Hermione and Ron both whispered in surprise.
"Who knows? But that must not be a good thing..."
Sokas, who was standing by, shrugged, and then seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated again for some reason.
"Hmm..." He thought for a while before he said again, "By the way, I have another bad news here.
"what?"
Hermione and Ron, who were about to turn their heads, stopped when they heard the words. This time it was Ron who spoke first, but with a hint of impatience in his tone.
He has never had a good impression of this Sokas, even if he ignores Maca's reminder first, he doesn't like this new classmate who seems to have some talent.
In Ron's eyes, this guy looked a little hypocritical.If he had to describe it, perhaps he would compare this guy named Sokas to "a enhanced version of Malfoy who has learned to pretend to be deep".
All in all, it is not pleasing to the eye.
"On my way back to the castle, I accidentally saw another person also ran into the forbidden forest--" Sokas said calmly in the anxious eyes of the two, "Well, I was divided into you. Helen of the college, Helen Schoen."
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Hermione was really angry this time, she threw off a word angrily, then turned around and ran up, Ron quickly stepped up to catch up.
While leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Sokas with an annoyed look.
"Huh-try your best, two." Sokas chuckled, "...stupid friendship."
He did not spend any more time'wandering', Dang Even took a step forward and followed closely.It can be seen that he is not as weak as an ordinary wizard in terms of physical fitness, and he has not been thrown far away by the rushing Hermione and Ron.
...
On the other side, Professor McGonagall was moving fast on the lawn with another figure, rushing to the edge of the forbidden forest on the side of the hunting lodge.
In fact, Hermione’s guess is indeed very reasonable, and it is a good idea for Professor McGonagall to call Flitwick’s colleagues.But she guessed wrong this time.
The one running beside Professor McGonagall was not the little Professor Flitwick, but the short and chubby Dean of Hufflepuff and the professor of the herbal medicine course-'Bo' Mona Sprout .
Among the professors at Hogwarts, except for the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who has always been unstable, everyone can be regarded as competent.
Even Trelawney, a professor of fortune-telling who is not very trusted, and Hagrid, a professor of protection of magical creatures who always frighten people with dangerous species, are very commensurate with their respective positions.
But if someone asked the little wizards, among the various professors, which one had the highest combat ability.
Maybe some people will support Professor Flitwick, maybe some will think that Snape is also very strong, and perhaps, Professor McGonagall, who is the current acting principal, is certainly not bad...
However, I am afraid that no one would think of the gracious and gracious "milk" professor Sprout when considering the level of combat.
But, as the dean of Hufflepuff College, is she really only good at "serving" and making flowers?
Well, actually, "flowers" and "flowers" are not simple, not at all!Especially the "flowers" and "flowers" with all kinds of weird magical powers.
Professor McGonagall, who had been with her classmates for two years, knew very well that if she was in some lush vegetation area, she would make anyone who dare to look down on her suffer.
Before long, McGonagall and Sprout rushed into the woods with their hands.Just not long after they stepped into the forest, they felt the trembling of the ground.
"It's not right, this is not a movement that horses can'make'." Professor McGonagall frowned.
"Let’s go and see first, it should be over there," Professor Sprout’s face didn’t have the usual gentleness, she pointed in a certain direction without hesitation, "I hope'Bo't is okay...oh I really don't want to think about it!"
The two ran swiftly in the woods, but they were still too old after all. The vigorous exercise made the two old wizards seem a bit hard, and their breaths kept coming and going.
After running for a while between the trees and the bushes, they soon found that they had found the right place.The source of the vibration that the two felt at first seemed to be not far ahead.
When they once again pushed aside the dense half-person-height bushes, and after going around a few trees, they suddenly saw a scene of a fierce group battle.
It may not be appropriate to say that it is a group battle. To be precise, it is a siege!
The horses ran back and forth swiftly and skillfully in the woods, and the small tree trunks could not be an obstacle to them.These creatures, whose upper body is similar to a human shape, but whose lower body is the same as a horse, bent their bows and set arrows, and the arrows shot at the extremely large behemoth with a howling sound that broke through the air.
On the other side, Hagrid was protecting Harry behind him impatiently, his eyes full of anger.
The giant beast that is being surrounded by horses and constantly'shooting' with the tree's position is a rare magical creature covered in pitch black-a three-headed giant dog.
It has another name called "Lu Wei".
That's right, this is actually the three-headed dog that Hagrid raised sleepy when he listened to music.When it was still young, Hagrid bought it from a Greek wizard in the bar.
But three-headed dogs, no matter how cute they were when they were young, they are always worrying when they grow up-their racial characteristics and sex are determined early, and they cannot be kept at home as ordinary pets. of.
Because they eat a lot, grow fast, and have an amazing average size.I'm afraid it's only a guy like Hagrid who loves violent aesthetics from his bones that wants to keep this creature as a pet.
In Maca's first school year, Hagrid lent the three-headed dog named Lu Wei to Dumbledore as the first hurdle to guard the Philosopher’s Stone.
"They are not as scary as people think, as long as there is enough food and a little music, they will be quite satisfied-at least Lu Wei is like this!"
Hagrid had said this before, but just now, he saw the side that his Lu Wei should have.
In any case, all creatures with sharp fangs and sharp claws, no matter how obedient they are trained, are still at risk of running away suddenly.
"...Who is it that angered Luwei?" Hagrid's heart was raging.
