Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Going to the Forbidden Forest tonight?

The four people immediately turned pale. They had just overheard that there were inexplicable dead animals in the Forbidden Forest. No wonder Professor Heimer didn't stop Hagrid from continuing to talk. It turned out that he had told them on purpose.

Malfoy said fearfully: "We can't go in in the middle of the night - there's everything in there - I heard there are werewolves."

"This doesn't allow you to make a decision."

Toby said coldly: "First of all, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. The mistakes you three have made need to be made up for, so that you can realize the preciousness of life - the Forbidden Forest is

A good place for training, you will thank me when you come out alive."

Ron's body softened. Professor Heimer remembered everything. He had no intention of letting them go from the beginning, and even notifying the fire dragon in advance did not give them any favor.

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, hoping that they could deny Malfoy's statement about werewolves, but after seeing the looks in their eyes, his heart sank. Maybe the Forbidden Forest was more terrifying than Malfoy described.

"As for you, Mr. Malfoy."

Toby turned to look at Draco, with a look that could not be rejected: "You have deliberately made bad intentions again and again, but you are caught every time. It seems that you need to learn from Slater."

Lin is smart."

"Go to the Forbidden Forest, you will learn a lot of useful things there."

What reason is this?

Malfoy wanted to protest loudly, but he knew that it was useless. Even his father Lucius could not suppress the opponent, and he was of no use.

Hagrid was also shocked by Toby's sudden decision. He tried to comfort him: "Isn't this too exaggerated? We don't need to go to the Forbidden Forest all at once, right?"

But Hagrid's idea obviously doesn't work here. The treatment of the trio is a punishment that Toby has long thought about. Only facing real danger and intimidation can make up for their mistakes.

As for Draco, of course he is going to the Forbidden Forest. Toby wants to take the opportunity to observe whether Draco is suspicious, and then use it to judge whether Lucius Malfoy is suspicious-this is related to the mysterious guest.

The question is about - animals that died inexplicably in the Forbidden Forest?

This is the only doubtful point and needs to be investigated carefully.

"Don't worry, Hagrid." Toby put his long hair behind his head and gave Hagrid a big smile: "I have been to the Forbidden Forest many times, and I will protect them."

Anyone who is familiar with Professor Heimer knows that what he said is definitely not true. The four people who happened to be punished are all familiar with him - Professor Heimer's smile cannot be taken seriously.

But Hagrid believed it.

"That's true. Centaurs often mention you. They always meet you and Al in various places - huh? Harry, what's wrong with you?"

Hagrid looked at Harry who was winking in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

After seeing Professor Hemmer looking over, Harry immediately lowered his head. After hesitating for a while, Hermione cautiously suggested: "Professor, will Hagrid also go with us -"

"Hey! Hagrid, look!" Toby suddenly interrupted Hermione: "Norbert is awake. Just stay in the cabin and take good care of him tonight. After all, you can't get along with him for too long.

time."

Hagrid was happily looking after Norbert who woke up from being knocked unconscious. After hearing these words, he quickly asked: "Why can't it last too long?"

"Because I told you in advance that Nob should be given away before he grows up. It won't be long before he is as big as your house."

"I can keep it in the Forbidden Forest—"

"Come on, Hagrid, Norbert is a fire dragon, it will completely set the Forbidden Forest on fire - well, let's go."

Toby said goodbye to the grief-stricken Hagrid, and he left the cabin with four students without any explanation.

After walking some distance, Toby stopped in front of the fence. At this time, there was no smile on his face.

"Remember, come to my office to find me at eleven o'clock tonight."

The four of them nodded in silence, not daring to refuse.

After Professor Hemmer left, Malfoy glanced at them, and Ron and Harry looked at him without fear.

As if considering that Goyle and Crabbe were not around, Malfoy did not taunt him any more, but walked faster alone and quickly walked away.

"Look at his stupid look just now." Ron pretended to imitate: "[I heard that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest], I dare say, man, this is almost a perfect day, if we don't have to go to the Forbidden Forest

That’s even better.”

Harry was amused, but he quickly asked worriedly: "Are there really werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I don't know." Ron forced himself to cheer up and encouraged: "But it shouldn't be that dangerous. Fred and George have been to the Forbidden Forest many times. Didn't anything big happen to them?"

This didn't comfort Harry - nothing big happened just meant there were minor problems.

"Hermione, what do you think?" Harry had no choice but to look to Hermione for help.

Hermione said disappointedly: "I have news that you definitely don't want to know - Mr. Al once gave Digory a gold galleons - don't be too excited, Ron, that gold galleons

It was left behind by a student who disappeared in the Forbidden Forest, and Mr. Al also said that he might be a Hufflepuff student."

"If you want to get the inheritance of a missing or dead Gryffindor student, I will definitely not object to you doing so, but the prerequisite is that you can survive in the Forbidden Forest, otherwise others will find your inheritance."

Ron became even more sad than the two of them put together: "I don't want to die in the Forbidden Forest, and I don't have any inheritance, and I can't even afford a Knut."

They stood in silence for a while, then saw Hagrid finally walking out of the cabin and walking directly in front of them.

"You haven't left yet?" The sadness on Hagrid's face disappeared. He lowered his voice enthusiastically and said, "I think Norbert has begun to feel familiar with me and is about to go to the chicken coop to find some chickens to bleed.

, and then mix it with brandy - do you want to come and see it together? The baby dragon's eating process must be very cute."

They watched Hagrid walk into the chicken coop and struggle to catch the rooster, which was not much bigger than his hand. Harry quietly looked around, and after realizing that Professor Hemmer had disappeared long ago, he asked in a low voice: "You really didn't

Can you accompany us to the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid said regretfully: "Sorry, Harry. Toby is right. Norbert needs me. I have already lost Fluffy once. This time I must take good care of him before Norbert leaves. He was just born.

Still so weak..."

Hagrid suddenly started sobbing, and Harry quickly comforted him, pretending not to notice the fine bite marks on Hagrid's fingers.

At this time, Ron suddenly shouted in horror: "Hagrid, your cabin is smoking!"

They rushed back into the cabin. Fortunately, Norbert only lit the tablecloth on fire and had time to stop the fire.

"Look." Hagrid said while crying and laughing: "It has learned how to ask its mother to call her back. It knows that it misses her mother."

The three Harrys declined Hagrid's invitation to watch Norbert eat. They left the cabin worriedly, but at the same time they were somewhat thankful - the decision not to let Norbert stay forever was probably Professor Heimer's wisest decision.

Gwartz should thank him for this.
