Hogwarts Homecoming

Facing Hagrid's fury, Harry did not show any weakness, he looked directly into Hagrid's eyes with a stubborn expression on his face,

"We just want to help you find Malfoy, Hagrid."

"Oh, come on, Harry!"

Hagrid mercilessly pierced Harry's thoughts,

"You already know those things, so, you just want to get revenge on Black, as I say, you are completely whimsical, I have never heard that the dastardly traitor is an Animagus, if so, Rhyme Stuart must know, and he won't hide it from Professor Dumbledore!"

"Since that's the case—"

Harry said quickly, "Then what are you worried about?"

"Ha, what am I still worried about?"

Hagrid was scratching his head over Harry's dead brain, his black, beetle-like eyes glowing with fire, and just as he was about to say something, Hermione said crisply,

"Malfoy may be in danger, Hagrid, you should get him back quickly."

At this moment, Hagrid could see that the professorial majesty he deliberately put on was of no use to these three little guys, and just like Hermione said, the top priority is to catch Malfoy who broke into the Forbidden Forest As for the dog, Hagrid still thought it was just a magical animal with wonderful abilities.

"All right!"

Hagrid glanced at Harry's invisibility cloak and said angrily,

"Don't expect this to end like this, you three, when I find Malfoy, the four of you can just go into confinement together!"

Although it is disgusting enough to be locked up with Malfoy, Hagrid finally agreed to take them into the Forbidden Forest together. This is the second time since Harry entered Hogwarts. The first time they had such an opportunity was in the first grade, when they met Voldemort who came out for supper in the woods.

"There's no way we'll meet him tonight—"

Harry muttered softly, but his voice was drowned out in the rumble that pierced the silence of the night, and as Hagrid's motorcycle exhaust emitted a burst of brilliant blue and white flames, the motorcycle jumped on thirty Feet in the air, quickly swept into the Forbidden Forest.

And not long after they disappeared, a person hurriedly ran towards the castle. He looked carefully at a piece of parchment in his hand. After finding nothing, he raised his head and looked around, and immediately found the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Looking at Fang in one direction,

"They went in, right?"

Yaya recognized the person who came, it stopped its threatening whimpers and nodded, and after being confirmed, the person strode towards the Forbidden Forest without hesitation.

Crash!

On the treetops at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there was a sound of leaves trembling, which seemed to be caused by flying birds. A group of black clouds rushed into the Forbidden Forest under the cover of night.

"It's coming soon, we have to wait—"

In the howling wind, a suppressed and trembling voice came from the vegetable garden on the small slope.

In late January, the breeze lingering on the Hogwarts campus has brought a bit of spring temperature, but the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night and the campus are completely different concepts.

The air here is full of thick, cold moisture, and, every time they advance a certain distance in the sky over the narrow path they are advancing, they will encounter a cloud of grotesque and illusory white mist, every time they pass through the fog, Group, Hermione will always let out a 'cluck' like exclamation.

"Hiss, I should have brought a scarf over here!"

Ron also said with a pendulum.

Ten minutes after entering the Forbidden Forest, the excitement of running into the Forbidden Forest at night to track down a dog that might be Sirius Black and send Malfoy to the confinement room by the way is over. There is also a virgin forest with strange howls that make the skin tense.

Ron was shivering, his hair and eyebrows froze, and he had to rely on the down of Hagrid's moleskin coat for warmth.

And the fast passing by, the tangled, clawed vines in the woods and the scars that looked more like ghost faces on the old tree stumps after felling also made Hermione shudder. She clutched Harry's hand Sleeves, the sweat in the palm of his hand had already formed obvious wet marks on Harry's sleeves.

The darkness that enveloped the Forbidden Forest seemed to be able to swallow light, whether it was the moonlight and starlight above the sky, or the light from the headlights of the motorcycle under them. The visibility was poor, and Hagrid had to squint his eyes to observe the stacked lights. Footprints on the soft leafy ground.

"I was just thinking, Hagrid!"

Harry yelled, his voice barely overpowering the roar of the exhaust pipes,

"The day before school started, when I was trying to fly the Firebolt on the playground, I ran into Black. He didn't do it at the time, maybe because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape the dementors if he was exposed, and he might not have found a chance to sneak into the castle this week. But why is he chasing Malfoy tonight?"

"I don't know, Harry!"

Following the blurred footprints was exhausting enough, and Hagrid didn't have time to answer his questions.

"I've heard rumors that Malfoy's father used to be a Death Eater, but after Voldemort's downfall he pretended that he had nothing to do with Voldemort. Do you think this may have angered Black, who was loyal to Voldemort, and wanted to kill Malfoy to get revenge? "

"If this is the case--"

Ron gasped and said,

"Should we slow down a bit, at least until Malfoy's finished—"

"Don't say that name!"

Hagrid growled angrily,

"Otherwise, I'll put you down and let you run behind the motorcycle. It just so happens that this motorcycle is a bit old, and it's a bit difficult to carry four people!"

Hagrid always believed that the dog that could only grow bigger was Black was just Harry's whimsy, and this made Harry annoyed.

"Oh, look over there--"

Suddenly Hermione let go of Harry's arm, pointing to the right side of the increasingly invisible path on the ground and screaming.

And the three people who were reminded also cast their attention. There were many shadowy flames in the direction of Hermione's finger. Those flames stopped in place, and Harry could feel a few gazes from that direction. .

"Oh, old acquaintance, we happened to go over to ask for directions!"

Hagrid recognized the owner of the torch immediately, he said happily.

And when the motorcycle entered the range of the torches, Harry recognized them immediately—they were centaur, and Harry had met them face to face when he was sent to 'work' in the Forbidden Forest in the first grade.

There are about twenty centaurs appearing in front of them right now. These centaurs are holding torches in one hand and spears in the other. Their faces are full of murderous looks. Even after seeing Hagrid, there is nothing wrong with them. complexion.

The three centaurs in the lead were the strongest among the warriors. When the muscles on their arms bulged, they were about as thick as Hermione's waist, and Harry happened to know these three strong centaurs.

"Why, is there a war going on here?"

Hagrid controlled the motorcycle to land, but after seeing the appearance of the centaurs fighting against each other, he didn't have time to say hello, so he asked in surprise.

Because he often helps the group of magical animals living in the Forbidden Forest to solve survival problems, Hagrid has a high prestige here. Therefore, when the centaur behind scratched their hooves to express their anger, the one on the left of the three centaur gave a warning sign. He glanced at the most elite fighters in the village, and then walked out of the queue,

"Good evening, Hagrid."

Firenze, with platinum hair and the body of a silver-maned horse, said to Hagrid, and then, looking down at Harry with a smile,

"Good evening, Harry Potter, we meet again."

"Long time no see, Firenze."

It wasn't until he got out of the car that Harry realized how much the temperature in the Forbidden Forest had hurt him. He rubbed his beating knee vigorously, trying to smile on his stiff and numb face.

When Firenze and Harry were reminiscing about the old days, Hagrid glanced warily at these heavily armed centaurs, and said to Ronan and Baine,

"What the hell is going on, are you planning to attack Hogwarts?!"
