A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 299 The Constellation Hydra is acting strangely tonight (First update, thanks to Grandmaster "Hellcat" for the 10,000 coin reward)

Easter Eve,

William, Cedric, and Cho left the castle and headed for Hagrid's cabin.

As they approached the hut, Tooth heard the noise and immediately crawled out from a large, hollowed-out pumpkin by the door.

This is its little nest, and I must say, the little thing is quite unique!

Yaya wagged its tail and howled incessantly.

After Hagrid was imprisoned, William and the others took turns feeding Toothpick; otherwise, the silly dog ​​might have starved to death.

William and his group couldn't come three times a day; they usually left enough for the whole day at night.

But Ya Ya, that dog, is greedy and never seems to have enough to eat.

It eats the equivalent of three meals in one go, stuffing its stomach full... This results in it being hungry again in the morning after a night of digestion.

But when they were hungry, there was no food, so they could only eat Hagrid's chickens for a snack.

This went on for almost a week. After being brutally beaten by society, Ya Ya finally understood what it meant for a dog's life to be tough!

It developed the habit of not eating all its food at once.

Unlike before, they don't waste food anymore, leaving it all over the floor... Even if they don't like the food, they can lick the bottom of the bowl clean.

That's great!

The downside is also obvious. Every time William and the others come, Ya Ya's eyes are filled with anger and doubt: You three are bankrupt, and this is all the food you have!

William, feeling helpless, would occasionally bring Ya Ya canned fish from Boba Tea.

After all, if a dog eats cat food, it will get fat.

After groping around in the cracks in the rocks outside Hagrid's house, Qiu pulled out a large key and opened the door.

The three of them used magic to clean Hagrid's hut.

After cleaning themselves up, they bid farewell to Ya Ya and set off for the Forbidden Forest.

They also need to look after Louie.

I wonder if Hagrid has any other adorable pets in this forbidden forest.

They must have starved to death by now, since no one has fed them for so long.

For some reason, William felt no sympathy whatsoever, but rather a sense of schadenfreude.

The animals kept in the Forbidden Forest are at least of the Luwei caliber; those that are too low-class and not dangerous enough are all under Professor Kettleburn's care.

Louie was raised by William and his friends since he was a puppy. No matter how ugly he was, he was still their dog, completely different from those other flashy, cheap dogs.

Therefore, if Hagrid were to keep other animals, they would all be dangerous monsters to William and his men!

It can be killed, eaten, and used as a weapon, but it absolutely cannot be masturbated!

The three of them walked along the path deeper into the forbidden forest.

Lu Wei was in a valley they had been to many times and knew the place well.

Halfway there, a commotion suddenly arose from the bushes in the distance.

A centaur emerged, with red hair and a beard, a shiny brown-red horse body, and a long red tail trailing behind him.

"Oh, Ronan, good evening," William greeted him familiarly.

William saved Ronan during the Battle of the Forest last year, and they have a pretty good relationship.

Ronan was also one of the few centaurs who had a favorable impression of wizards.

"What are you three doing here?" Ronan asked, puzzled.

"We're here to see Lou Williams," Cedric replied.

"Oh, speaking of Lou Williams," Ronan said angrily, "you all better do something about him."

"What's wrong?" Qiu asked curiously.

"It urinates everywhere, spreading its scent to mark its territory. Last time it ran to the gate of our tribe, and Bain was furious, so he was going to bring the tribe to teach it a lesson."

"I'll talk to Louis," William said, his head aching. "But you know, Hagrid's not home, so our words might not carry any weight."

"Ah, speaking of which, I heard that Dumbledore was also expelled?" Ronan stomped his hoof uneasily.

"He's only leaving temporarily; he'll be back soon."

"I truly don't understand those idiots in the Ministry of Magic. Even a great wizard like Dumbledore would be driven away!"

"Professor Dumbledore will be very happy to hear your assessment."

"You'd better get back to school soon," Ronan advised. "I know William, you're very strong, but..."

"What's wrong?"

"Hydra is acting strangely tonight."

"Which star is the brightest this time?"

"The alpha star in Hydra... we centaurs call it 'The Heart of Hydra,' or 'The Lonely One.'"

"It has always been the brightest star in Hydra, emitting a cold, desolate red light," Ronan explained uneasily.

"But recently, Epsilon Hydra has been getting brighter and brighter, and tonight it even surpasses the brightness of the Heart of Hydra, which means..."

"This means... the Forbidden Forest is dangerous tonight." The bushes rustled, and another centaur emerged.

—Bane, the centaur leader.

"You shouldn't have talked so much with the wizard, Ronan," Bane scolded.

Ronan immediately shut up.

"You'd better get back to school!" Bain issued the expulsion order.

Bane was a staunch anti-witch, so William ignored him and instead asked, "Ronan, have you seen a young red-haired wizard come to the Forbidden Forest?"

It wasn't George or Fred; he had freckles all over his face and looked quite ordinary.

"No." Ronan glanced at Bane and quickly shook his head.

William was somewhat disappointed and was about to leave with Cedric and Cho when Bain suddenly said, "I've seen that little wizard. He's been here a few times and gone to the Eight-Eyed Spider's habitat."

"Oh, thank you," William said casually.

"Are you talking about Ron?" Cedric asked quietly after the centaur had walked away.

"Yes." William nodded. "Dumbledore told me that Ron sneaked into the Forbidden Forest a few times."

"Was it during the time he took the diary?" Qiu asked doubtfully.

"That's right, the diary might be controlling Ron to do something in the Forbidden Forest."

“But…” Cedric shook his head and said, “Bane might also be deliberately deceiving us and luring us to the territory of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider.”

"But I feel he's telling the truth. Don't forget, Hagrid said that although centaurs hate wizards, they are very proud and wouldn't stoop to lying," Qiu analyzed.

"That makes sense. I agree with Qiu's opinion." William nodded slightly.

"Shall we go take a look?" Qiu suggested boldly, her eyes sparkling.

"Cedric, you're not scared, are you?"

Qiu tossed her hair, raised her chin, and smiled.

"Go! You have to go!" Cedric said earnestly. "Anyone who doesn't go is a Floppy sticky bug!"

"What's going on?" William asked in a low voice, deliberately falling a step behind Qiu.

"It was during that time in Hogsmeade, when I took Cho to the Screaming Shack. As we were walking, she suddenly hid... I was almost scared to death."

William glanced at Cedric with a speechless look in his eyes.

He didn't scare the girl at all; instead, he scared himself... Ning Ke is truly a disgrace to the world of picking up girls!

"Is it reliable? The eight-eyed giant spider is so dangerous," Cedric asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, if it really comes down to it, I can transform into a giant eagle and take you away. Spiders can't fly."

Cedric exclaimed, "Eagles are so convenient. I wish my Animagus could fly too."

"Maybe it will turn into a mosquito or a fly."

"..."

Deep in the forbidden forest, in a certain valley.

Louie lay on the ground, its three heads rhythmically lifting one at a time, looking toward a certain path.

The snacks are all gone, and we're just waiting for the delivery... How strange, why are William and the others late?

You haven't forgotten, have you?!

"Awoooooo!!!"

In Greek mythology, the constellation Hydra symbolizes the nine-headed serpent. Its two stars, α Hydra and ε Hydra, are known in my country as Star One and Willow Five, respectively.
