Chapter 398 Giant Yarn Ball

"Woohoo—"

The outer circle of the Forbidden Forest, which was originally quiet and peaceful, was invaded by a huge monster and made people tremble.

Waves of violent and angry beast roars came from the forest, and the thick and big trees were knocked crooked, and even the gnarled roots were mercilessly pulled out of the ground.

The three-headed giant dog, with its powerful body and tough and thick fur, made the threat of the horsemen's feather arrows useless.

Its three big heads were continuously biting the surroundings, and its front paws swept and slapped from time to time, causing clods of soil and sawdust to fly everywhere.

The fangs in its mouth were intertwined, and the saliva flowed down the corners of its three mouths at the same time, unabashedly showing its desire to tear flesh and blood.

But its eyes are a kind of crimson red full of blood, a kind of blood red that has fallen into madness.

Compared with its ancestor, the three-headed hell dog, which was extinct in ancient times, the three-headed giant dog does not spit out huge fireballs with terrifying temperatures. But the enormous strength and tyrannical body of its ancestors were inherited by it.

And along with it, there is also the frenzied blood that will automatically erupt when life is in danger.

"...Who on earth offended Xiao Luwei?"

Hagrid stood in front of Harry, stubbornly blocking Harry's approach.

Because he was very aware of the current state of the three-headed dog Lu Wei, if Harry was slightly rubbed by that heavy paw, he might be seriously injured immediately, and even died on the spot.

Although the strength of the three-headed dog is not enough to compete with a real giant, it is definitely not something that can be used as a joke.

But at this moment, a voice sounded from the woods in front of him——

"... spread out, horse people... all spread out!"

It was Sprout's voice, and Hagrid recognized it quickly. But he heard it was useless, those centaurs were not creatures who would obediently do what the wizard told them to do.

Hagrid hurriedly grabbed Harry's arm and moved closer to it.

"Oh! Little Potter's all right - that's great!" Sprout hugged Harry almost out of breath.

"Professor Sprout...oh, Professor McGonagall, you're here too!" He greeted quickly, and then immediately said, "That... please, help... find a way to calm Xiaoluwei... "

"Yes, I'm trying to do that..." Sprout said, but he looked at the centaur who was scurrying around Lu Wei in embarrassment, looking a little troubled.

"What's the matter?" Hagrid demanded. "Did the centaurs get in your way?"

"Ah!" Sprout said worriedly, "I can't say it's 'obstructing'..."

"Let me tell you!" Professor McGonagall took over the conversation and explained to Hagrid, "If you want to safely subdue the maddened three-headed dog, Pomona's method is necessary, but I'm afraid it's not very good. It is convenient to control—that is, it will also involve those horsemen."

"But, you know—" she frowned slightly, "It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the centaur clan afterwards... Is there any way for you to let the centaur evacuate first?"

"Well...those guys are very stubborn..." Hagrid thought for a while, "I'll try."

"wait--"

Hearing Mag's sudden opening, Hagrid, who had just turned around, paused and looked at her suspiciously.

"No, I didn't tell you—" Professor McGonagall stared at Harry with a straight face, "You, stay here! You are not allowed to go anywhere—in addition, because of your reckless actions, Gryffindor will deduct 10 points !"

...

Just as Harry was standing beside McGonagall obediently with a bitter face, two young girls were walking slowly in the woods not too far away.

"Miss Lovegood, it was really thanks to you just now, otherwise I would have died..."

As Sokas had said to Hermione and Ron before, the chestnut-haired girl named Helen also ran into the Forbidden Forest. But even Sokas didn't notice that besides Helen, Luna was also hanging around here.

At this moment, Helen was gratefully thanking Luna.

"...Luna."

"What?" She looked a little dazed when Luna interrupted her suddenly.

"Call me 'Luna'—that's fine."

This girl with beautiful long pale blond hair was still in a trance as always. As she paced forward like sleepwalking, she watched everything around her with hazy eyes.

"Ah, oh——" Helen smiled sweetly, "Really? So... Luna?"

The girl turned her head gracefully and nodded slightly towards her.

"Well, anyway...thank you very much for your help just now!" Helen hesitated for a moment, and then boldly reached out to hold Luna's arm, "It's really scary... how can there be such a terrifying monster in this forest ah?"

"It's a bit dangerous..." Luna blinked and said, "But it's interesting."

"What's so interesting!" Helen tremblingly said, "Didn't you see its teeth? That's so big, it's too scary!"

"Witness is a paintbrush to describe existence—" Luna hummed in a strange tone, "When you are not sure whether something exists or not, every one more person who witnesses it, it will be one more There is a possibility that—”

"Eh?"

Helen hugged Luna's arm, tilted her head and stared at her for a while, then giggled.

"You're so weird!" She looked at Luna curiously, imitating her tone, "but it's interesting."

Luna didn't respond to her words, but just walked around on her own, letting Helen cling to her arm tightly.

"That's right!" Helen was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Luna, what do you think... death will feel like?"

Among wizards, the topic of death is even more taboo than among Muggles. Because in the magic world, death not only represents the end of life, but also contains more obscure magic power that people are afraid to avoid.

If such a topic is suddenly brought up to other people, I am afraid that everyone will find it abrupt, but Luna doesn't care about it.

"I don't know." She just replied lightly.

The two were squeezed together in the woods, and walked unsteadily for a while. If it weren't for the howling of beasts and slight vibrations not far away, it might really be like taking an ordinary walk after a meal.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly quietly appeared beside a certain tree behind them, and those slightly narrow eyes silently watched the two of them.

Luna and Helen, who were walking in front, didn't seem to notice the existence of that person, they were still walking lightly.

"Hey, Luna—" Helen asked again, "I heard that you are very close to Professor McLean. What kind of person is he?"

As soon as Luna heard this surname, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curled up slightly, showing a touch of softness.

"He's a 'rich man'."

"Huh?" Helen wondered, "Is he rich?"

"The founder of Ravenclaw once said: Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings." When she said this, Luna had a light smile on her face.

"Oh——" Helen nodded as if she understood, but then shook Luna's arm and said, "I already know that he is very powerful—I want to know what he is like in his daily life ?”

"Well..." She paused, and then added: "For example, what does he like to eat, what does he like to do...and...does he have a girlfriend or something like that?"

"Girlfriend?" Luna seemed a little at a loss for this word, and even repeated it in a daze.

"Yes!" Helen urged enthusiastically, "I heard that you were classmates before? Hermione said, you have a good relationship with him...Are you his girlfriend?"

However, before she finished speaking, she shook her head again.

"No, I haven't seen you guys together all the time, it doesn't look like..." Helen murmured, "It stands to reason that it's about time... He's already a professor, and he's so powerful and popular... ...Surely a girlfriend is indispensable, right?"

"... What does it feel like to have a girlfriend?" Luna asked with some doubts.

"Huh?" Helen looked at her, then said with a smile, "Who knows!"

At the moment Helen said these words, a large number of black vines suddenly appeared in the woods not far away. Each of those vines is as thick as an arm, and they are entangled, extended, and clinging to each other, like a group of boa constrictors gathered together like a tide.

Just in the blink of an eye, a large area of ​​vines immediately invaded that area, whether it was land or trees, they were all overwhelmed by these surprisingly fast-growing plants.

If Luna and the others were not still a certain distance away from there, maybe even they would be wrapped in it together. But even so, some spread to their feet.

Surprised, Helen hurriedly pulled Luna back, away from those terrifying black plants.

"Oh—" Luna said in a daze while being dragged backwards by Helen, "Devil's net."

...

On the other side, right in the center of the devil's net, which seemed to grow at a rather abnormal speed, McGonagall, Sprout, and Harry were standing in the middle of a small circle. The circle was formed by some kind of red powder that was sprinkled on the ground, and there was still a faint sparkle of crystal light in it.

Davros of the centaurs agreed with Hagrid's persuasion, and they retreated far away from this area with the rest of the centaurs.

And right in front of Sprout and the others, the originally crazy and ferocious three-headed dog Lu Wei was tightly bound into a crooked "yarn ball" by those devil's nets.

It can be seen that Lu Wei is still struggling in it, but the more he struggles, the more the devil's net becomes tighter, making all his strength useless.

Behind Professor Sprout, Harry stared at the dumpy and kindly figure, dumbfounded with surprise.
