Chapter 415 Hagrid's Bedtime Ditty

( ) "Helen, don't stop, keep running!" On the way to the lawn path from the Forbidden Forest to Hogwarts Castle, Ron stopped and shouted to Helen in front.

"Ronald?" Helen slowed down her pace and turned her head.

"Don't come here, I have to help Hermione—" Ron waved his hand, "Go back to the castle and call other professors for help!"

"But... Ronald?" Helen seemed a little hesitant.

"Listen to me! Hurry up, what you have to do is also very important!"

After Ron said, Dang even turned around, and started to run along the way he came.

"...Yes, I am 'Ronald'!" He murmured to himself while running, "Although you are the only one named me by this book, that is enough!"

However, before he had time to run far, a magic spell suddenly shot out, hitting his back accurately. A strong force coupled with the inertia of running immediately caused him to throw himself heavily on the ground in front of him.

"...Oops, Helen...I failed to protect her well..." Just before he passed out, what he suddenly realized was Helen's safety.

"...Looking back... I'm going to be scolded by Hermione again."

At the same time as Ron fell to the ground, a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky, and swept towards the castle with great speed. It was Maca's owl Mafa. When it caught this scene in the air, it quickly landed on the top of the west tower.

"Click—"

Mafa's hard and sharp beak cracked the rings on his feet with a few blows.

...

"Stop! Don't try to escape!"

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Sokas propped up the tree trunk with one hand, climbed over the bushes smoothly, and chased Hermione and Luna who were running on the lawn.

They did not choose to return to Hogwarts Castle. Although the distance there was not too far away, the lawn had a wide view, which was definitely not beneficial to the fleeing party.

Therefore, these two smart girls coincidentally came up with a plan to go back to the Forbidden Forest.

"You saved me just now...Thank you..." Hermione who was running behind Luna said while running, "...Now,

I want to return to the original position. "

"Agreed." Luna nodded.

"Bones to pieces!"

When another curse struck behind them, the two who had been running along the edge of the Forbidden Forest immediately rushed to the side, and rushed into the Forbidden Forest without saying a word.

Sokas' spell hit a tree, sending splinters flying, but Luna and Hermione were spared.

"Damn it," Sokas said angrily as he ran, "he's going to be clever. Do you think you can run through the woods?"

His movements are fast, his running speed and physical flexibility are far beyond what Luna and Hermione can match, and the distance between the two has been shortened a lot compared to the beginning.

The trees in the Forbidden Forest grow quite densely. If you run around in it, it is very easy for those who enter without authorization to get lost.

This rather wide woodland is rarely visited by people, probably except for Hagrid, most of the rest of the visitors will probably lose their way in it.

To be honest, Luna and Hermione are already frequent visitors to the Forbidden Forest, but even if they come in on weekdays, they are only acting on the periphery.

Now that they are returning to the Forbidden Forest, they will naturally not choose to run as they please, because they have a purpose.

"...Luna, are you okay?"

Although these two little witches are not very good at sports, compared to Hermione who has exercised a little, Luna, who usually enjoys being in a daze, is a little more strenuous.

This sprint caused Luna's physical strength to drop sharply, and she even felt that her legs were a little out of control.

"You can't stop here, that guy is catching up." Hermione said anxiously, holding Luna's arm.

"I... understand." Luna strode forward with heavy steps.

In the Forbidden Forest, the two ran along the edge of the devil's net, turning around and casting a spell from time to time to stop Sokas who was approaching.

After almost running around the area full of devil's nets, they finally saw the flame again - it was lit by Luna's lighting spell before, and the fire was obviously bigger than before.

"Can't you run away?"

Just as Luna and Hermione stood still in front of the sea of ​​flames, the bushes behind them trembled, and then Sokas suddenly appeared there.

"Why don't you run away? Huh?" Sokas walked towards this side step by step with a wand in his hand. "It's really stupid to be blocked by the fire I set!"

"I don't know...who is stupid?" Hermione gasped.

"Tough mouth!" Sokas squinted his eyes and shouted angrily, "Crucio—"

"Boom!"

A bright flame exploded in front of Hermione, and Sokas' spell was blocked.

"The Cruciatus Curse!" A sonorous voice came from the forest beside Hermione, with a burst of disbelief, "How dare you?"

"Professor McGonagall!" Hermione shouted immediately, "You're here!"

"Damn it, it turned out to be like this..." Sokas' face changed slightly when he heard the voice, "It's all the fault of that stinky girl, it messed up my plan!"

After Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared, he finally understood the intention of Hermione and Luna back here. In fact, if he hadn't been bent on catching them just now, Sokas wouldn't have thought of this.

"Hermione? Luna?"

When Mag came out of the woods, another figure followed.

"Harry?" Hermione said happily, "I'm glad you're alright!"

"Get out of here!"

Professor McGonagall said with a slight frown, and then stretched out the wand in her hand. In an instant, a silent spell flew out swiftly, and Sokas was startled by the speed.

"You can't take it hard!"

Just a little judgment, he jumped to the side without hesitation, and was about to rush back into the bushes again.

Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall did not show any unexpected expression. She waved her wand calmly, and the bush in front of Sokas suddenly twisted, and it was drawn to his waist in a very timely manner.

Sokas, who was blocked by Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, immediately turned over and jumped in the opposite direction, as if he wanted to leave Mag's sight.

But at this moment, a puff of black-gray powder suddenly sprayed over his head and face, and he was caught off guard and was immediately sprinkled all over.

Before he could react, he saw several black vines suddenly flying up from the ground, entangled Sokas tightly in mid-air before he landed.

"...Pomona." Professor McGonagall put away the wand that was about to be poked out, and called over there.

"Minerva, take the children back first!" Professor Sprout slowly walked out of the woods over there, and while she put the cork back in her hand, she said, "Rubus I am soothing the three-headed dog - it seems to be quieter. I will watch here, and you take them away first."

"Okay." Professor McGonagall did not insist, she nodded, and then greeted, "You guys, go back with me! Immediately!"

"...Don't think this is the end!" Sokas, who was entangled in the devil's net, was still clamoring, "The Lord Dark Lord will not just stop like this! This is just the beginning - the bones reappear!"

He struggled desperately, and a green glow lit up from his wand, broke through the dense canopy of the tree, flew high above the Forbidden Forest, and turned into a huge Dark Mark.

With a wave of Professor Sprout's hand, his wand jumped up and left his palm.

"Huh? What's the sound?"

Sprout, who was about to stun him, gave a sudden pause, and Professor McGonagall, who was about to return to the castle with the children, also turned his head suddenly.

The people present heard a rustling sound almost at the same time, and the source of the strange movement seemed to be deeper in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hahaha——" Sokas, who was also pricking up his ears to listen, suddenly laughed loudly, "Damn it, it's finally here! It's finally here! None of you can escape! None of you can escape—"

He hadn't finished his sentence when a green beam of light interrupted his words decisively, and he immediately tilted his head and fell silent.

Killing Curse! It's a death curse! But who cast the death curse?

Professor McGonagall reacted very quickly, and saw her quickly wave her wand and cast a spell in the direction of the green light. But what splashed up with it was just a bunch of broken branches and leaves.

After releasing the spell, she immediately ran over there, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

"It's really scary..." Professor Sprout said heartbroken, "Another person cast a death curse in Hogwarts, it's really scary!"

Naturally, she was not afraid of herself, but the safety of the students. She has always treated every little wizard kindly like a grandma, and her heart trembled when she thought that they would suffer misfortune because of this.

"Go back, hurry up! You can't stay here any longer!" Sprout opened his arms and pushed Hermione and others to run out.

...

On the other side, next to the huge body of the three-headed dog Luwei...

"...Three big stupid dogs~heads! Look at them all~ugly! They are as tall as Muggle clock towers, and they eat~meat non-stop every day! You have never seen such stupid dogs in your life, Three heads and only one stomach..."

Hagrid was leaning on Lu Wei's lap, howling a nursery rhyme he had created in his pitch-deaf voice, not only the tone was weird, but even the content was inexplicably funny.

The horsemen not far away looked at this side expressionlessly, and looked at each other from time to time, and then backed up again in unison, trying to keep a sufficient distance from Hagrid.

But Lu Wei seemed very satisfied with his singing voice, it was lying on the ground, its eyelids had gradually drooped.

However, the strange sound from the depths of the Forbidden Forest woke it up again!
