Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 784: Explore the Forbidden Forest
"...Hermione, I am really grateful for your willingness to help me find Little Demi together. However, you must make sure to go back an hour before the lights are turned off."
"Although it does not look decent, I am also a professor now. I must be responsible for your studies and life at school!"
In the forbidden forest, Hagrid carried an old hunting crossbow in his hand, and had an arrow pocket sewn with leather in his waist.
In the past, he was forbidden to use any spells, so unless he really needed it, he rarely used magic.
Now, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not take care of such nostalgia, but he has long been used to not relying on the magic wand hidden in the umbrella.
For Maca, in fact, with Hagrid's magical talent, he was afraid of punching first when he was in doubt, which was the most suitable way of action for him.
"Hagrid, we all understand." Hermione held her wand and walked behind Hagrid, blocking a few branches in front of him. "Then Harry and I will go from here. Whatever we find, we will send out a signal."
"Hmm."
When Hagrid heard the words, he couldn't help but look back at the children.
I have to say that all the little things that year have grown up. If only talking about magical power, he, a professor who is actually not very competent, may already be incomparable.
"Be careful."
When the four of them passed the fork of a forest path, Hermione and the other three turned a bend and walked slowly in the other direction. On Hagrid's side, as usual, he was gradually submerged in the darkness of the Forbidden Forest with hounds and fangs.
Seriously, the vegetation of the forbidden forest has become more and more luxuriant during the recent period, and the dense canopy of the trees has completely isolated the afterglow of the setting sun from the outside world.
"Fluorescence blinking."
Hermione waved her magic wand very skillfully, and a ball of light immediately provided the three with plenty of vision-in the dim and gloomy environment, the light can always bring everyone warmth and hope.
"Hermione, we vowed to help Hagrid find the invisible beast just now." Ron whispered from the side, "how exactly should I find it?"
"I can only say, I am not sure."
It is really rare for Hermione to say such a thing.
Not to mention the entire Hogwarts, at least half of the teachers and students at Hogwarts know that she can answer almost every question in class. It is no wonder that Snape will give her the title of "Miss Know-it-all" Up.
"Huh?"
Harry and Ron were obviously surprised by this, because it was so rare.
"I really can't tell," Hermione pursed her lips, and said angeredly, "In "Monsters and Their Origin", the description of invisible beasts is still very detailed, but because of this..."
Although she seemed to be complaining about something, she quickly choked off the meaningless words and continued on with the previous words.
"It is mentioned in the book," she said, "This magical animal not only hides its body, but also has a certain degree of foresight about the short-term future-can you understand what this means? This means that if it really wants to escape or hide, everyone...no, I mean, most people will never find it again!"
Harry heard this and couldn't help but habitually scratched his messy hair.
"Then what are we doing? According to you, we can't find it anymore, right?"
"That's why we need to help Hagrid even more," Hermione said, looking at Harry and Ron seriously, "Hagrid's cherishment of magical creatures, don't I need to say more? Think about it. Buckbeak, it's the same this time."
"What's more, according to my guess, the invisible beast was mostly borrowed from Hagrid."
Hagrid once bought a fire dragon egg at the pig's head bar, and it was already a very difficult thing to get. But now, a living invisible beast-the entire British magical world may not be able to find a few!
"Uh, you are right, we should try our best to help Hagrid find it." Ron nodded, but said distressedly, "However, this problem has come back...how do we find it? ?"
"In short, try to find where there are berries and other bushes!" Hermione thought for a while, "Anyway, it always has to eat, and berries are generally one of their most common foods. One."
While speaking in a low voice, the three of them did not stop under their feet. Soon, they have reached a deeper position in the forbidden forest.
But for now, they are still walking along the only path on the ground.
The first half of this path was basically stepped by the hunting field watchers of Hogwarts; and since this dirt path gradually became wider, it has been the route of the horse people since ancient times.
More than ten minutes passed, and the Hermione trio moved forward, not forgetting to keep an eye on everything around them. It's a pity that they didn't find any abnormalities except for some small animals that seemed to be moving quickly.
No, it's better to say, even if they hear something, it's too late for them to check it out.
And when the three of them pushed a few bushes on the dirt path again and tried to move on, a small open space made them subconsciously stop.
"What is...what?"
You can see that in the darkness ahead, there seems to be the outline of an unknown building. Although the shadowy outline is not very clear in the dark, it is actually easy to see, like a "ruin".
As for the building that exists in the depths of the forbidden forest, all three of them showed an expression of incomprehension.
"I remember Professor Dumbledore always saying that students should not enter and leave the Forbidden Forest at will..." Ron muttered in a very small voice, "I think we should look for it on the road just now. ?"
In fact, sometimes being timid is not a big problem-if you don't approach the unknown at will, even if you might miss an opportunity, you will usually get a corresponding peace.
But, who made three Gryffindors in total here?
"Who knows what that is?" Harry craned his neck and looked around, then waved his hand, "If you want to know, the fastest way is to go and see!"
"Slow down." Seeing Harry, Hermione wanted to walk straight over, and immediately reached out and grabbed his clothes. "You must see it, but you have to be cautious--"
As she spoke, she shook the wand in her hand again.
"Maximize!"
Before speaking, the ball of light hanging from the tip of the wand burst into a dazzling light, and then Hermione hurled it out with her arm.
When the group of brilliance crossed a parabola and fell far into the shadow of the building, a medium-sized semi-formed building immediately caught the eyes of the three.
Where is this ruin, it is obviously a new building under construction!
However, the attention of Hermione and the others was quickly attracted by another thing in the "construction site"-it was an unfancy stone pillar with a ring tied at the bottom. The rope of the loop is as if something is firmly tied to that stone pillar.
And just around the stone pillar, a few elves are dozing off against some piles of stone bricks.
"House elves?" Harry said strangely, "How come there are house elves here? Where do they come from? Is the school kitchen?"
Harry was obviously puzzled about this, and Ron was probably the same, but Hermione reacted quickly.
"That's not a ‘household’ elves," she said solemnly, "they are free elves-they are a group of real elves!"
"What?" Harry wondered, "What do you mean?"
Of course he didn't understand Hermione's words, it's just that it's useless to understand, because he didn't know the origins of those little elves.
"I mean, they were brought back by Maca from outside," Hermione explained softly, "understand? Wild... No, it's not good to say that, it should be said that'lived independently for many years 'Normal' elf."
Speaking of which, she waved her hand and told Harry and the others to go back to the station.
"You stay here first, I'll see the situation." Hermione still lowered her voice, "They should know me, but they may not know you..."
Of course ~IndoMTL.com~ The common point is that, including Hermione, they actually can't communicate with the elves smoothly.
After leaving this warning, Hermione raised her leg and continued to walk there. As she gradually approached there, the situation on this ‘elf construction site’ also appeared in her eyes one by one.
Except for the few elves around the stone pillars, there are no other companions here. This is also natural, because before the building is completely completed, the elves have to return to the castle to live at night.
On the island of Rowena, they had always lived in the basement of the tower, and they had long developed the habit of sleeping indoors.
The little elves in front of Hermione are just staying here.
When Hermione finally reached the stone pillar, she did not choose to wake up the elf, but carefully looked at the surrounding situation first.
Huh?
When she discovered the peculiar state of the rope on the stone pillar, she couldn't help but hesitate secretly in her heart.
Perhaps it was because Hermione’s original purpose was to find invisible beasts, or she was always good at thinking, but after blinking a few eyes, she quickly realized something.
"Could it be that..."
Hermione guessed silently, and ran her wand toward the place where the stone pillar was bound.
However, without her being so cautiously probing, in the next moment, a gray figure appeared automatically there. Look at the "hairy apes" with only human legs tall, what else can they be if they are not invisible beasts?
"Why is it...why was..."
While Hermione was still in a daze, there was a hint of darkness in those brown eyes. ()
