209 Flame and Water
The Forbidden Forest has always been a place that schools have prohibited students from entering. Even in the formal Care of Magical Creatures class, the professor will not let students enter the Forbidden Forest every time. They are more likely to be on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, or Simply take classes at a location that has nothing to do with the Forbidden Forest, such as near Hagrid's hut.
The act of blatantly entering the Forbidden Forest this time was refreshing to many club members. They did not expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.
Of course, for some people, this can be considered a shock.
After all, the iron bucket carried by Professor Kettleburn was fully displayed in front of everyone, and everyone could clearly see the raw beef in it. It did not look like it was prepared for those docile animals.
But despite this, no one really stopped.After hesitating for a while, he silently followed.
Professor Kettleburn walked in the front, Hagrid walked in the middle of the team, and Professor Prewett stayed at the back of the team.It was as if they had agreed in advance, and the three of them used this to protect all the students in the middle.
As if to show his inner bravery, James walked behind Professor Kettleburn with his head held high, and Sirius walked side by side with him.Behind the two of them was Regulus, whose body was stiff and even his cheeks were trembling slightly.
"If you really can't hold on, then you might as well go back."
Sirius looked a little impatient after seeing Regulus's reaction.
"Your parents won't embarrass you because of this kind of thing - [The noble Black should not risk his life to enter a dangerous place like the Forbidden Forest], or [How could you let my son do such a thing?] - —The most they can do is send you letters like this. I really don’t understand why you insist on coming here? I don’t remember you being interested in magical animals.”
Sirius' tone seemed aggressive, even merciless.
He had never been able to understand what his younger brother was thinking.
Under the arrogant shell of Regulus' poor acting, there is just a heart full of cowardice.He never understood what resistance meant, and he just let his parents do what they wanted at home, as if this was more important than anything else.
Or maybe Regulus didn't know what was really important, so he would just blindly obey.
The two people are like complete opposites.
One is a burning fire, while the other is just an invisible stream of water.
Even the temperature of this water flow is not that cold, it is just an ordinary normal temperature, nothing outstanding at all.
Just like now.
Facing Sirius's complaints and lessons, Regulus just lowered his head silently and said nothing.
"Are you sure you're a Slytherin?"
For some reason, after seeing Regulus's unchanging reaction, Sirius felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
"If you ask me, you should be sorted into Hufflepuff, not even Gryffindor!"
Regulus still had no reaction.
But Professor Kettleburn, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Boy, do you have a problem with Hufflepuff?"
There was a rage in his tone that was even stronger than Sirius's heart.
"Don't let me hear that a second time!"
He roared out the words.
Sirius nodded stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
After Professor Kettleburn turned his head again, James patted Sirius' shoulder with lingering fear.
"Man, I admit that you are much better than me in many aspects, especially this."
He pointed at Sirius' handsome face.
Even in this embarrassing atmosphere, his elegant temperament was not diminished at all.It just changed him from a strategizing marshal to a melancholy poet.
"But a lot of the time, you're simply more grumpy than me. Maybe we should both take a closer look at that."
James pointed to their lips again and made a gesture to zip up.
Sirius finally showed an ugly smile, but after glancing back at Regulus, he curled his lips and shook his head.
James didn't say much about this. He just kindly said to Regulus: "Cheer up, Sirius' brother."
"I don't want my future opponents to be guys like you, whether in the duel field or on the Quidditch field."
After saying this, James didn't care about Regulus's reaction. He looked at Sirius again and grinned.
"Sometimes, I actually envy you. I am the only child in my family and I have never had any brothers or sisters."
"I kind of wish I could have a younger brother."
Sirius sneered.
He shook his head as if to drive something away.
"Then you should really switch identities with me."
"This way you will know how [happy] I am."
When he said these words, he did not avoid Regulus behind him at all.
But Regulus suddenly raised his head stubbornly and looked at the backs of the two people in front of him.
Not one person, but both of them at the same time.
compared to myself.
They are more like a pair of real brothers.
That's why Regulus appeared here.
Become the only Slytherin in the Fire Crab Club.
On the other side, in the middle of the line.
Kalan and the other three were surrounding Hagrid. Steve looked at Yaya who was running quickly with his calves, but could only barely keep up with Hagrid's pace. He couldn't help but ask, "This is what you hid before." What about the second half of the sentence? Is this the first time Yaya has entered the Forbidden Forest?"
"That's right!"
Hagrid was holding a giant crossbow. He still strode forward and said, "Today is a memorable day. It is also time for Yaya to familiarize himself with the situation in the Forbidden Forest."
"I can't see." Gespard judged calmly while staring at Yaya who was running hard.
"Uh." Hagrid was choked up.
But Steve simply hugged Yaya, and it was finally able to rest for a while, with its tongue hanging out and breathing heavily from exhaustion.
Hagrid hesitated to call Fang back, but Steve never gave in when it came to matters involving magical beasts.
Fortunately, Karan broke the deadlock between the two in time.
"Why is Professor Prewett here?" he asked Hagrid.
"For your safety."
As expected, Hagrid's attention was diverted: "This is Principal Dumbledore's request. He originally disagreed with Professor Kettleburn setting the Forbidden Forest as the venue for the party, but he didn't know what they discussed. The result is what it is now.”
"Although Professor Kettleburn can take you to the Forbidden Forest, it must be in the presence of other professors. In the end, Professor Kettleburn chose the Prewett brothers, and they will take turns attending the party."
[Probably because the request to breed Chimeramon was rejected. 】
Callan silently thought in his heart that this was the only reason Principal Dumbledore might give in.
Hagrid turned to look at Prewett, who was making the students laugh.
He couldn't help but said with some envy: "These brothers always have countless clever ideas, and they were very popular when they were in school."
"Of course, it also caused me a lot of trouble."
He finally said, shaking his head.
It seems that the Prewett brothers are not the kind of students who will keep their own rules. Instead, they are like Fred and George later, full of troublemaker temperament.
Karan had already seen this before during the performance at the opening party.
