Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 397: Raging behemoth
"...If you don't mind, I also want to'make' more friends."
The sudden appearance of this young man named Sokas made Ron and Hermione feel a little caught off guard.
After Maca’s warning was first communicated by Harry to their ears, they unconsciously wanted to stay away from this person. And the other party's slightly leaning toward Slytherin's posture just made them feel a little relieved.
When the other party's intentions have not been revealed, it is the wisest behavior to keep a certain distance and detect in secret.
I never thought that the other party would step into their circle so abruptly. This couldn't help making Hermione surreptitiously ‘confused’ while secretly vigilant.
What on earth does he want to do?
"Of course we welcome you to'make' friends, but..." Hermione carefully organized the words, "We must stay in the castle. Professor McGonagall has just ordered it."
"Really?" Sokas smiled and said, "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 emergency situations, 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 also Think of a solution together."
"'The situation in the forbidden forest'?" Hermione looked at him inexplicably.
"Yes, haven't you found it yet?" Sokas met Hermione's suspicious and wary gaze without evasiveness, and said calmly, "There is something worse in the forbidden forest. Circumstances, Mr. Bo't may 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 towards the corner of the corridor when he came.
Indeed, listening to 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 didn't 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 heads tense.
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-in the middle of the undulating dark green canopy, there appeared a line A crooked and twisted gap, and at one end of the gap, somewhere near the outer circle of the forbidden forest, there is a black'color' that is violently squeezing the trees and moving forward.
After all, the Forbidden Forest is still some distance away from the castle. It's hard to see exactly what that black ‘color’ is here.
But of course Hermione and Ron knew...
No, I believe it can be seen by an individual. That black ‘color’ must be some kind of huge creature, which is so large that it cannot 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 hesitated again for some reason.
"Um..." He thought for a while before he said again, "By the way, I have another bad news, do you want to listen to it?"
"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 talents.
In Ron's eyes, this guy looks 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".
In short, it's 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, it's just being divided. Helen who has entered your 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 hurriedly stepped up to catch up.
While leaving, he didn't forget to look back at Sokas with an annoyed look.
"Huh-do as much as possible, two." Sokas chuckled lightly, "...stupid friendship."
He didn't spend any more time ‘wandering’, Dang Even stepped forward and followed closely. It can be seen that he is not as weak as an ordinary wizard in terms of physical ability, and he has not been thrown away by the rushing Hermione and Ron.
……
On the other side, Professor McGonagall is moving fast on the lawn with another figure, rushing to the edge of the forbidden forest on the side of the hunting lodge.
Actually, Hermione’s guess is indeed very reasonable, and it is a very good idea for Professor McGonagall to call Flitwick’s colleagues. But she guessed wrong this time.
The one who ran beside Professor McGonagall was not the little Professor Flitwick, but the chunky Dean of Hufflepuff and the professor of the herbal medicine class——'Bo' Mona Si Prout.
Among the professors at Hogwarts, except for the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who has never been seated securely, everyone can be regarded as competent.
Even Trelawney, a professor of fortune-telling who is not very trusted, and Hagrid, a professor of magical creatures who are always engaged in the protection of dangerous species to scare people, are very commensurate with their respective positions.
But if someone asks the little wizards, among the professors, which one has the highest combat ability.
Maybe some people will support Professor Flitwick, some may think that Snape is probably also very strong, and perhaps, Professor McGonagall, who is the current acting principal, is certainly not bad...
However, I am afraid that when considering the level of combat, no one will think of the kindly fat ‘milk’ and ‘milk’ professor Sprout.
But, as the dean of Hufflepuff College, is she really good at "serving", "making", "flower" and "flowers"?
Well, in fact, "flowers" and "flowers" are not simple, not at all! Especially the "flowers" and "flowers" with all kinds of weird magical powers.
Professor McGonagall, who has been with her classmates for two years, knows very well that if she is in some lush vegetation, she will make anyone who dare to look down on her suffer.
It didn't take long for McGonagall and Sprout to rush into the woods with their portable hands. It's just not long after they stepped into the forest, they felt the ground trembling underneath.
"It's not right, this is not a movement that horses can ‘make’ it." Professor McGonagall frowned.
"Let’s go and see first, it should be over there," Professor Sprout’s face lost the usual gentleness, and 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 old after all. The vigorous exercise made the two old wizards look a little hard, and the sound of gasps came and went in their ears.
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 pushed aside the dense half-person-height bushes again, and after going around a few trees, they suddenly saw a scene of ‘aggressive’ group battles.
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 tree trunks with small gaps could not be an obstacle to them~IndoMTL.com~ These creatures whose upper body is similar to a human shape, but whose lower body is the same as a horse, bow and shoot arrows. , The arrow shot at the huge behemoth again and again with a howling sound that pierced the air.
On the other side, Hagrid was covering 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 and magical creature covered in pitch black-a three-headed giant dog.
It has another name, "Lu Wei".
Yes, this is actually the three-headed dog that Hagrid raised sleepy as soon as 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 are determined early, and they cannot be regarded as ordinary pets. Raised at home.
Because they eat a lot, grow fast, and their average size is quite amazing. 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 this 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 said this before, but just now, he saw the side of his Lu Wei that he should have.
Anyway, 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 raged with anger.
