Chapter 143
Filch looked at the three children in front of him. He had been waiting for these three children in the hall for a while, but the waiting time was so sweet.However, he would rather wait for a while longer, and then enjoy the wonderful moment of letting these naughty little wizards be punished.
He looked at Luke, Tyler and Harry with dark eyes.
On Harry's slightly frightened and disgusted face, Filch gave a silent smirk, and seeing the even more frightened expression on Harry's face, there was a smug look in his eyes.And when his eyes shifted to Tyler's face, he saw nothing.The child is as calm as a piece of ice now.While not as cold, it still feels inaccessible.Filch 'hummed' twice, then turned his head away.
And when he looked at Luke, Luke had a gentle smile on his face, which seemed to give people a very comfortable feeling.Filch could clearly feel his peace of mind, but this was not what he wanted. Just as he was restraining his emotions and preparing to put on a bad face, looking into Luke's eyes, he had an inexplicable feeling of The chill hits the forehead from the soles of the feet...
He almost shuddered.But in the end it was restrained.
"Come with me," said Filch, lighting a lamp, and leading them out. "I think you'll have to think twice about breaking school rules in the future, don't you, huh?" He squinted at them and continued, "Oh, yeah, if you ask me, I'd say, Work and hard work are the best teachers...it's a pity they abolished the old fashioned punishment of the past...Hanging you by the wrists and hanging you from the ceiling for days. In my office Still keep those chains, oil them often, maybe one day they will come in handy... Well, let's go, don't even think about running away. If you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat."
He looked so proud and arrogant, and when he talked about the punishment methods like punishing prisoners, he was even more in high spirits.It seemed that he was really looking forward to treating these little wizards, the future pillars of the wizarding world, as his own prisoners.
He may love Hogwarts, but he definitely doesn't like most of the students there.
"Mr. Filch, no offense intended..." Luke originally felt that he shouldn't feel disgusted with such a guy, because he didn't deserve it.After all, just a small person Squib.But when he saw the terrified expression on Harry's face, he still couldn't help but speak.
"Huh? What do you want to say?"
Filch squinted at Luke, with a mocking smile on his face, but his eyes were a little dodgy.
"It's nothing, it's just..." Luke said calmly, "If Harry hadn't 'defeated' Voldemort, it would be very difficult for a person like you to live to this day."
As soon as these words were uttered, Filch's expression froze for an instant. Obviously, he was also aware of this, and he might even have known it from the beginning, but he just didn't want to say it.
"I……"
Filch poked his neck and wanted to say something, but it was Harry Potter after all, the great benefactor in the eyes of many people.And what the other party said is the truth.If it weren't for Harry, the situation of the Squib would be worse than that of the Mudblood who was about to be exterminated quickly, but the difference was not that great.
"me……"
"Come on, Hagrid is still waiting for us."
Luke didn't want to hear Filch's answer at all, he just wanted to scold this guy simply because he was a little depressed.
Under the bright moonlight, occasionally a few clouds drift by, and the moon pulls them as its own quilt, and then the world falls into darkness.It's a pity that in this way, Harry couldn't see Filch's ugly face.This made him somewhat regretful.
Finally, after walking for a long time, they finally saw Hagrid's cabin, and saw the tall figure in front of the window shaded by the light.
Harry subconsciously glanced at Luke the first time he saw Hagrid.
Luke's expression was still calm, but those who were familiar with him, such as Taylor, could tell that his frowning and raised eyebrows showed that he was actually not very happy.
Hagrid saw the figure over there from a distance, and shouted loudly, "Is that you? Filch, hurry up, I'm leaving."
Harry was actually quite happy, after all, it was always better to be by Hagrid's side than by other professors' side.After all, Hagrid's work was interesting.Especially for those who are not eligible to enter the Forbidden Forest on weekdays.
Filch sent them to Hagrid, and said to the three children with a dark face, "I wish you a pleasant night with werewolves and beasts in the Forbidden Forest."
Hagrid frowned, trying to speak.But before he could open his mouth, Luke gave a 'huh' and said, "Then, I don't need you to worry about it. But I still hope that Mr. Filch can pay more attention to his duties and don't always think about it." Going to the spell-casting classes that the crooks throw at you."
Under the light, everyone could see that Filch's face turned red first, then blue, black, and finally white again.
No one knew what Filch was thinking during this period of time, and Taylor didn't want to explore this guy's thoughts at all, so he didn't activate his talent.But everyone saw Filch's fleeing figure.
Seeing Filch's pitiful look, Hagrid opened his mouth, not knowing whether he wanted to comfort Filch or say something else, but when he saw Luke's slightly cold face, these After all, the words were not spoken.
Hagrid looked at the three children in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the Forbidden Forest."
……
"Actually, there isn't much danger in the Forbidden Forest, Harry."
Hagrid led Harry on an unobvious forest path, and from time to time he would use the knife in his hand to chop off some weeds and branches.
"It itself is within the range of Hogwarts, there are no poachers, and the magical animals here don't have much ill feeling towards humans. Then, there are actually game guards patrolling along a fixed route in the Forbidden Forest. Basically, there will be no dangerous or aggressive magical animals on the road."
After speaking, Hagrid wiped the sweat from his brow, and then followed behind him.Harry, who could see a bit of worry on his face, smiled and said: "And there are Fangs, it won't take Luke and Taylor to the depths."
Harry was about to speak, and then his eyes were filled with Hagrid's big face, and the magic light flying towards him.
Harry was stunned for a moment. Although he understood that Hagrid should not have any bad thoughts about him, the scene in front of him still gave him some inexplicable bad memories, such as the woman's howling, There are also pale hands and a blinding green light.
He felt as if he had seen it all before, but in fact these things looked so strange.
Hagrid didn't notice that something was wrong with Harry, he stepped forward and picked up the cursed snake from the ground.
"Oh, an ordinary snake."
The reconciliation voice sounded a little complicated at this time, and it was hard to tell whether it was happy or disappointed.
At this moment, he finally noticed Harry who was a little sluggish, and quickly threw the snake out of his hand, and then shouted: "Harry!"
……
Luke picked up the little snake on the ground and put it in front of his eyes.
"Hiss~ (We are ready, Your Highness.)"
The little snake said so.
"That's fine, but wait for my news before acting."
Luke nodded in response.
After the little snake agreed, it left Luke's finger and walked in another direction.
Taylor held his teeth and looked around vigilantly.
As for Fang... At the beginning, it seemed quite happy to be able to act together with Luke, because by Luke's side, its sense of security was even higher than that by Hagrid's side.
God, you know that damn dragon almost ate his Fangs as a snack that day, but Hagrid just scolded the baby dragon, and then even stewed a piece of meat for it.
God!It has been with Hagrid for so many years, no credit but hard work, no matter how it is treated, it is even worse than a new dragon.
Tooth is more or less uncomfortable, but Luke has always been gentle to him, so it is very happy to lead Luke.
This situation until a group of snakes appeared in front.
The moment he saw the snake, Yaya took a good look at it and made sure that these snakes were normal snakes, not any other magical animals, so he wagged his tail, bared his teeth, and prepared to show it to Luke Use your own bravery and strength.
But before it could yell out, the group of snakes hung down in front of them, and it seemed that there was a feeling of life and death, and being at the mercy of the king.
Yaya was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out why the group of snakes were so afraid of him for no reason.
And when a snake came forward and ignored it, it knew that things were not that simple.
After exchanging information with the snake, Luke nodded to Taylor, and then looked at Fang lying at Taylor's feet in surprise.At this moment, Yaya was covering his eyes.The expression on my face that I didn't see anything.
"What happened to it?"
Luke asked with some doubts.
Taylor covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "It seems to be frightened by this posture."
Luke was dumbfounded, then smiled.Although Ya Ya looks like a very fierce big dog, but in fact he is not very courageous.
It's really embarrassing that this guy has been accompanying Hagrid to patrol the dangerous Forbidden Forest for so many years.
"Okay, let's move on."
Luke got up and said to Taylor, "According to the original plan."
Taylor nodded, and the two continued to follow the route Hagrid had planned.Luke is not stupid, he will not change Hagrid's course without permission.He thought that his familiarity with the Forbidden Forest was not low, but compared with Hagrid, it was naturally still pale in comparison.
So to be smart now is to be irresponsible for the lives of yourself and Taylor.
Yaya doesn't know what kind of conspiracy these two humans are up to now, but it knows that it's better to keep a low profile now, so as not to attract the attention of these two people, and then its own life will be in danger!
……
In the depths of the forest, a man in a black cloak was talking to himself constantly.
"But master, are we really not going to trouble that kid?"
Quirrell was a little reconciled, it was such a good opportunity, but now he was going to miss it in vain.
"Even if they are really ambushing someone, as long as we move fast enough."
"Shut up! Quirrell, I don't want to explain any more to you, you're an idiot!"
As Voldemort roared with anger, Quirrell suddenly became quiet.Now if he thinks about saying something again, Voldemort is going to turn his mind into a washing machine.
"Do you think us now, who can't even deal with McGonagall, can deal with Dumbledore? He's just old, but if there are no accidents, I wouldn't be surprised if he lived for another ten years or so."
Voldemort was still angry, and said bitterly: "So now we have to be patient, understand? Be patient! First restore your strength, and then make some trouble for Dumbledore, let him leave the school, and then we can easily take Go to the Philosopher's Stone, restore my body, and then I will make a comeback, and give those rebels and ignorant people the most tragic death!"
"And now, you want me to mess things up for a little bit of hatred? Do you have a problem with your mind?"
Quirrell really wanted to say that he did have a lot of problems in his mind.After all, with another head on the back of his head, it's hard to say what's normal.
"Then now..."
"Now! Go find the unicorn we've tagged! Immediately! Immediately!"
……
Firenze held his longbow in his hand, alert to the wind and grass in the forest.Although it is not as if all the plants and trees are soldiers, it can also be said that they are walking on thin ice.
The sounds in my ears are the soft sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the insects crying on the moss-covered stumps, and the sound of gurgling water. There is a stream here, which is also the place where the horse people usually get water.
Everything is as usual, quiet and peaceful, even except for the owl's nest where the tribe walked 84 steps in this direction, the few little owls that have not yet grown up will still stare with big eyes behind him passing by he.
It's as if nothing has changed.
And suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming into his ears along the wind, he moved swiftly, raised his longbow without hesitation, and pulled the bowstring into a full moon shape in an instant.
"Who? Come out?"
It’s not that he’s overly cautious, but that he’s confident in his own interpretation of the astrology, that is to say, going in this direction will be dangerous, but this doesn’t mean he has to stagnate, all he needs is to be more cautious That's all.
"Hi! Firenze! Is that you?"
The sound of Hagrid's voice reassured Firenze a lot. He and Hagrid were good friends, and this was one of the important reasons why he was not very popular among the tribe.
And just when he was about to respond, the next moment, growling, neighing, and more, various sounds belonging to different beasts rang out.
At this moment, both Firenze and Hagrid's expressions changed drastically.
