Chapter 37

After leaving Hagrid's hut.

Erwin gave up the idea of ​​visiting the Forbidden Forest at night.

Makes sense, if not unnecessary.

Erwin really didn't want to go into the forbidden forest in the middle of the night.

Do you really think this place is that easy to visit?

That was the Forbidden Forest, one of the most dangerous places in Hogwarts.

Especially now that there's a faceless man wandering around Hogwarts.

Although according to the original plot, the Faceless Man at this time has no idea of ​​entering the Forbidden Forest to find unicorns.

But who knows if there will be any surprises.

After all, Erwin had already tried it.

The plot can be changed.

Erwin walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

Passed by the Black Lake and passed by the square.

Hogwarts has a different scenery at night.

If Hogwarts during the day is a vibrant wizarding school.

Then Hogwarts at night is like a beast that chooses people to eat.

In the darkness, it opened its blood-red mouth.

Waiting for a poor lost lamb to offer to feed.

Especially when Erwin knew that Hogwarts itself was a huge magical object.

Come to the corridor.

Look at the statues lined on both sides.

Erwin couldn't help but become a little curious about it.

This thing can be said to be the core defensive force of Hogwarts.

In the original book, under Professor McGonagall's wand, these things can come alive and be used to fight enemies.

The combat effectiveness is quite strong.

While Erwin was observing these statues.

Suddenly, Erwin's heart skipped a beat.

With a flick of his wrist, the wand appeared in his hand.

"Armor protection!"

A looming purple armor shrouded Erwin's body, which didn't look so solid.

But the appearance of the armor can already be vaguely seen.

The next moment of armor protection and blessing.

A colored light unique to the curse hit Erwin's body.

Then it was offset by the armor protection.

Erwin reacted very quickly, pointing the wand in his right hand into the darkness, and there was already an extra grenade in his left hand.

"Who!"

In the dark.

There were bursts of footsteps.

"Mr. Cavendi, you should be sleeping at this time, right? Why are you wandering in the corridor?"

Erwin frowned.

As the opponent's figure appears.

An elegant bat came to a location not far from Erwin.

"Professor Snape?"

Erwin was a little confused.

What the hell is this Snape? He showed up in the middle of the night and took action directly.

Is this reasonable?

But I felt the wear and tear of the armor on my body.

Snape didn't seem to be using much force.

When this kind of curse hits a person, it will only cause pain at most, but will not cause any consequences.

Snape said: "Put that thing away in your hand! You should know that it can't hurt me!"

Erwin was noncommittal.

Put away the grenades.

However, the wand was still in Erwin's hand.

Not only did he not relax, but he tightened his grip.

Snape naturally noticed Erwin's actions.

A flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

But he said: "When facing an enemy you cannot match! While staying vigilant, you must also clearly show weakness to the enemy!"

Erwin bowed slightly: "I understand the professor's teachings!"

Snape glanced in the direction Erwin had come from.

"You went to the Forbidden Forest?"

Erwin shook his head: "No! I just went to find Hagrid!"

A mocking smile appeared on Snape's lips.

It was obvious that this had become a habit for Snape.

It’s the same no matter who you’re facing.

"I don't think you are the kind of person who wants to make friends with others! Especially a hybrid giant!"

Erwin smiled and said: "What the professor said is a bit biased against me! In fact, I really like making friends with people! According to Daxia, one more friend means one more path!"

Snape snorted coldly: "I didn't realize that Mr. Cavendi, who caused a sensation in Hogwarts when he first started school, actually likes to study the culture of Daxia!"

Erwin said: "Professor! You suddenly attacked me and stopped me! It must have been more than just to mock me! It was indeed my fault for traveling at night! I am willing to admit my mistake!"

Snape said: "Night walks? What's wrong with night walks? Students at Hogwarts never lack night walks! However, as a Slytherin! If your purpose of night walks is just for fun like those stupid lions And fearless adventure! You, the hidden prefect, will disappoint me! So, tell me the truth! Mr. Cavendi, what is the purpose of your night trip?"

Erwin said: "Of course, Professor, I am Slytherin! Everything is for the greater good! I bought a shop in Diagon Alley! So, I need to sell some magical animal materials or potions! And Hagrid, as the guardian of the Forbidden Forest, will have many such things!”

Erwin didn't feel like he had anything to hide.

This is not a shameful thing.

The main thing is.

Erwin wanted to see if he could pull Snape onto a boat.

If you can, that's really a lot of money.

Of course this is not something to rush.

Snape breathed a subtle sigh of relief.

"Very good! It's good that you know you are a Slytherin! You can go out at night, but as you are so arrogant, I advise you not to go out at night! Otherwise, if you are caught, Slytherin will deduct points for you. I think you know your fate!"

Erwin nodded: "I understand, Professor!"

Snape waved his hand: "Now, go back to sleep!"

Erwin nodded.

Turning around and about to leave, Snape said: "Don't go to the Forbidden Forest for a short time!"

Erwin paused.

Without asking any more questions, he nodded and turned to leave.

Snape looked in the direction Erwin left.

Sighed.

Somewhat disappointed, but also some appreciative.

Disappointed because he felt a little hurt when he saw Erwin guarding him. Even though Erwin turned around and left, he didn't put away his wand.

Appreciation, also because of this!

Snape stood in the corridor.

Watching Erwin's leaving figure.

"You have a great kid! He's going to be better than any of us!"

Arrive at the door of the Slytherin common room.

Erwin finally felt relieved.

Putting the wand away.

Although Snape's attitude towards him has always been very good.

But Erwin wouldn't let his guard down either.

This is Erwin's habit.

To be able to live in Renton to this day, at such a young age, to grow the Cavendi family to where it is today.

Erwin never relied on luck.

He knew very well that no matter who he was dealing with, he had to be wary.

Even if that person is very friendly to you.

After all, Erwin had already suffered such a loss and almost paid the price with his life.

Although ruthless, you can live longer!
