Chapter 264: 263: Before the shock, another incident happened
Deep in the forbidden forest.
The darkness is like thick ink, swallowing up all light.
Ian transformed into white mist and shuttled through the forest. Wherever he passed, the branches rustled, and along the way he startled a group of sleeping Bowtruckles, which made squeaking sounds of protest.
They all clung to the branches they were perched on.
Looks extremely nervous.
A group of owls were startled and flew up from the branches. The flapping of their wings was particularly loud in the silent forest. On the ground, several porcupines covered with thorns grunted angrily, erected their thorns, and stared at the direction of the white fog vigilantly. However, Ian had no time to care about these disturbed creatures.
All he wanted was to find those three naughty students.
"Where is it?"
With his legendary eyesight, Ian can see everything around him clearly even at night, so he doesn't have to worry about missing any corners along the way.
Not just seeing clearly.
Also has a broad view.
Anyway, anyone who has reached this level will naturally understand. That feeling of eyes being more than just eyes, with spiritual power that can sweep through every area along the way with vision.
"Huhuhu~"
The noise of Ian's flight also startled many sleeping creatures. A unicorn that was drinking water looked up alertly, its silver mane shimmering like ripples in the moonlight. Seeing Ian's white mist passing by, it quickly and gracefully retreated into the bushes, its hooves stepping through the stream without splashing a single drop of water.
"It should be around here."
Ian also searched along the direction of the secret passage shown on the live map. However, the map could only reveal a rough idea. God knew where the three people would go after they came out of the secret passage.
This is a blanket search.
Ian frantically searched in a radial pattern around the exit of the secret passage - his proficiency in this magic was increasing, and now it was faster than most flying brooms.
how to say.
In fact, for many powerful wizards, flying brooms are not a necessity. Even someone as powerful as Voldemort does not rely much on flying brooms.
"Can someone with two legs be better than me who can fly?"
Ian's little face raised an eyebrow in the white mist.
He moved quickly among the trees.
It's true, some things may not be worth talking about. Just as Ian finished complaining about the whereabouts of the three people, suddenly, a sharp scream broke the silence of the Forbidden Forest.
"Damn, what is this!"
It was Ron's nasal voice.
Full of fear and panic.
His heart-wrenching screams pierced the night sky - as expected, Ron did not have the aura of a savior, and could not get along in the Forbidden Forest as well as if he had a savior with him.
"Did they really find us in danger?"
Ian raised his eyebrows slightly.
The white mist he transformed into instantly accelerated, passing through layers of tree shadows like lightning, and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from. When Ian arrived, he was slightly stunned by the scene in front of him.
original.
Even though Ron was screaming heartbreakingly, as if he might be eaten by the monster at any time, the new era trio was not actually particularly dangerous now.
I saw.
The trio was trapped in a strange purple mushroom bush. The mushrooms were half a person tall, with fluorescent veins on their caps, swaying slowly as they moved.
As for why Ron screamed.
The tip of Hermione's wand glowed faintly, illuminating Ron's pale face - his left foot was entangled in a ball of sticky mycelium, which was spreading upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He's just an eleven-year-old boy.
I was well protected by my family before.
Ron had never encountered such a dangerous and terrifying situation.
He was almost frightened to death.
He was the most panicked of the three new era people. As a wizard, he didn't even take out his wand, but tried to fight the magical plants with his own flesh and blood.
Ok.
This is indeed the reckless behavior that a Gryffindor student should have - if we ignore Ron's contradictory behavior of crying and fighting with plants at the same time.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it...what should we do now?" Although Hermione's face was pale and she was trapped, she was still concentrating her wisdom to think of a solution.
of course.
Since this was the first time she encountered such a danger, the girl, who was once the apple of the Muggle family's eye, had her clever little brain slightly affected at this moment.
Hard to think about.
Hermione could only force herself to calm down.
And this time.
On the contrary, Neville, who had been cowardly and timid before, performed better. Of course, he was also panicked and afraid, but his brain did not stop working.
"Everyone, don't move!" Neville suddenly shouted, his voice distorted by fear, "These plants have similar properties to the Devil's Snare! The more you struggle, the tighter they will wrap around you!"
indeed.
Neville was trembling all over, and unlike the other two, he did not struggle subconsciously. He overcame his body's instincts to keep his body still. Although this did not allow him to escape, he was the slowest to be tied up by the plants, and the sticky hyphae only climbed to the base of his thighs.
Neville was shaking even more violently.
Hermione's waist was already entangled by the sticky mycelium.
Ron was the one who resisted most fiercely, and also the one who suffered the most. His entire body was about to be completely wrapped up by the sticky mycelium and become an individual to be digested.
The sticky mycelium had even sealed his mouth.
This made the world a lot quieter.
"Is it similar to the Devil's Snare? I remember the book said it needs sunlight. The Devil's Snare is extremely sensitive to sunlight and heat, but it's night now..."
"And this isn't a Devil's Snare." Hermione's hands were shaking so much that she could hardly hold her wand. This was her first time experiencing something like this, and she was far from being as confident and able to handle it calmly as she would be in the future.
"Then use fire! Most plants are afraid of fire!"
Neville's voice sounded a bit tearful. He had no doubt about his knowledge, but he was extremely frightened by the sticky mycelium that was increasingly binding him.
"Hurry up! It's almost up to my waist!"
Neville yelled frantically.
"Woooooooo~"
Ron could only make meaningless sounds.
really.
It was still the familiar formula, the familiar routine. Even though the trio was no longer the trio Ian was familiar with, the person who solved the problem was still Hermione - this could be seen as the story of Hermione and her two useless men turning into the story of Hermione and her two useless men.
"..."
Ian was speechless watching from midair. Since it would take at least a day for these plants to digest a person, he was not in a hurry to rescue the three people immediately.
After all, reckless guys should be taught a lesson.
If not.
God knows what kind of fantastic adventures these three people will come up with in the future - of course, if it were based on the original timeline, perhaps no matter how great the lesson was, it wouldn't stop the Gryffindor students from being adventurous?
"Flames...flames are blazing!"
at this time.
Hermione began to work her magic.
Normally, she was extremely skilled in the use of this magic, if not perfect. However, because she was too nervous, her performance was a little abnormal.
A few sparks flew from the tip of Hermione's wand, but they wouldn't condense into a flame, and Neville frantically searched his pockets and spilled a packet of Bibimbap Every Flavour Beans all over the floor.
"Merlin's beard!" Neville's voice had changed. He watched the glowing hyphae wriggle like living things. "It, it's climbing up! I'm going to be eaten!"
"Help me! Hermione!"
He called for help. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Hermione's forehead, and another weak spark burst out from the tip of her wand, but it still could not condense into a flame.
“I I can’t do it”
There was a cry in the girl's voice.
next moment.
Her hand was also entangled and her wand fell down.
See this.
"Hermione can't stand up either."
Ian, who appeared as white mist in the night, sighed. He gathered between the tallest oak branches, gradually taking the shape of a human, and took out his wand.
The moonlight flowed on Ian's robe, and a faint blue light shone on the tip of his wand. In order not to scare people, Ian still gave a thoughtful reminder.
“Close your eyes.”
All three heard a familiar voice coming from the treetops.
But no one reacted.
The blue flames poured down like a waterfall, instantly covering the entire mushroom bush. Ron let out an inhuman scream, his legs weakened, and he almost fainted.
"Fiendfyre! It's Fiendfyre!" Neville's voice was shaking. His toad, Riff, had fainted in his pocket, and the fat boy, who was its owner, began to roll his eyes.
"What is Fiendfyre?"
Hermione's face was paler than the moonlight. She was ignorant and fearless. However, although she didn't know the name of this magic, she instinctively felt the destructive power contained in the blue flame.
"Wherever one of the most terrible dark magics passes." Neville's teeth chattered, and he couldn't finish his words because the blue flames swept over.
The three little wizards all felt their own insignificance.
Extremely desperate.
however.
When they closed their eyes for a moment, the imagined severe pain did not come. Instead, the three of them felt their bodies lighten, and then they all fell to the ground.
"hiss!"
Hermione opened her eyes and gasped.
Ron and Neville were not much better off. When they opened their eyes tremblingly, they found that the grass within three feet around them was intact, while the area outside had turned into a scorched earth.
Even the soil seemed to have turned to ashes.
"This is Fiendfyre! See? Nothing can survive where it passes!" Neville's voice was as soft as a whisper, and he still looked frightened.
"It's so scary, this kind of magic."
Hermione was also amazed. Since the school had just started, her knowledge of the wizarding world was still limited, so now she could only be a know-it-all within the normal scope of knowledge.
Forbidden magic like the Fierce Fire Curse.
Probably only a young wizard from a family like Neville could recognize it - Ron could too, otherwise his pants definitely wouldn't be wet right now.
"Merlin bless you."
Ron collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily, enjoying the joy of surviving the disaster. Of course, there must be a lot of fear in his heart.
"Who saved us?"
Hermione looked around.
however.
Neville's face turned even paler.
"I think it might not be about saving us, but about giving us hope and then erasing that hope." He had a lot of imagination, but there was a reason for it.
"It is an extremely advanced and terrifying black magic that can only be learned by very outstanding wizards. I think... there must be an extremely powerful black wizard nearby!"
The fear in his voice was not increasing, but rather decreasing. This was the fear of dark wizards that was deep in his bones.
Ron and Hermione were both shocked when they heard this.
"Dark wizard!?"
"A Death Eater?"
"Oh my God! I knew it! I knew it!"
Ron became the king of understanding again.
And at this time.
"How much do I look like a dark wizard in your opinion?" Ian's voice rang out again, and he walked out of the jungle, his wizard robe fluttering in the breeze.
Even though the surroundings were in a mess and the three young wizards were in a state of disgrace, Ian was spotless. The contrast was indeed very strong.
"Ian!"
Hermione exclaimed in surprise, then realized something and her face became strange. If she remembered correctly, Neville just said that only extremely powerful dark wizards could cast the Fiery Curse.
And judging from the current situation.
The person who released the Fiery Curse should be Ian.
and so.
Is Ian a powerful dark wizard?
Hermione felt terrified when she thought about it, and she didn't want to think about it any further, nor did she dare to. Ron was not the only one who was aware of this problem and was terrified.
"You were the one who set the Fiery Fire?"
Ron's expression was one of confusion.
His inquiry went unanswered.
"You three juniors are such a worry." Ian looked at the embarrassed look of the trio and shook his head helplessly. He felt that these three people should have learned enough of their lesson.
"Uh..." Neville came back to his senses at this time, patted his head and said with a look of sudden realization: "Oh! That's right! I heard from the seniors that Mr. Prince also knows the Fiery Curse!"
"It's the kind that the headmaster allows, so he's definitely not a dark wizard." Neville's tone was firm, and there was not only trust in his voice, but also a sense of high emotional intelligence.
Ian chuckled, and the wand formed a beautiful arc at his fingertips: "Why are you three Gryffindor students in the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night?"
He asked knowingly.
"Professor McGonagall should have stressed the danger here at least ten times." She even used a serious expression, as if she was ready to complain at any time.
"Goo~"
Ron panicked.
Hermione twisted her fingers around the hem of her robe, stammering and unable to speak. Neville lowered his head in shame, staring at the tip of his shoes. All three of them seemed to be frightened by Ian.
Ron's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he suddenly stiffened his neck and said, "We... We have reasons to come here! Please, don't tell Professor McGonagall, okay?"
Although he was begging for help.
however.
It seems that she still has no intention of confessing to Ian.
Indeed it is.
It's probably really hard for Ron to learn from his mistakes. Hermione struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't help but want to confess to Ian.
"actually……"
Just as Hermione seemed to be about to say something, there was an unusual commotion in the woods in the distance. The sound of branches breaking continued, interspersed with the heavy breathing of some creature.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar tore through the night sky, startling countless roosting birds.
