Hogwarts Outsider

The Christmas holiday is approaching day by day.

　　 The whole Hogwarts is filled with an enthusiastic atmosphere, and everyone can’t wait and look forward to Christmas.

　　 After all, Christmas means not only the coming of the holidays and the coming of easy days, but also a sumptuous Christmas meal, as well as interesting and various gifts...

　　 But for Matthew and the second-year Slytherin students, before the Christmas break, they still need to participate in the last "after-school practice" of the semester——

　　The one responsible for the last after-school practice was Professor Keitelburn, the teacher of the Magical Animals Conservation, which is not good news...because it means that they need to go to the Forbidden Forest for the last lesson of this semester.

　　 In this cold winter, they naturally want to spend their time in a raging fire castle instead of going outside the cold and biting castle and freezing themselves half to death.

　　……

　　 The last Saturday before the Christmas holiday, for most students, this semester is over.

　　 Many people have left Hogwarts early and went home for Christmas; the school seemed much deserted than usual. Thick silence, like snow on the ground, enveloped the entire castle.

　　 Early on Saturday morning, the five boys in the second grade of Slytherin all left the common room early.

They were fully armed, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, gloves on their hands, a scarf around their necks, even bearskin caps on their heads, and rubber boots on their feet... The five of them had just walked out of the genius. I walked through the oak gate of the castle and stepped in the snow.

　　 surrounded by silver light, there was a vast white space between heaven and earth; a cold wind blew, no matter how thick the clothes were, Matthew couldn't help but shiver.

　　 But there is no way, who made this the request of Professor Keitelburn, the teacher of the magical animals protection class.

　　 They were walking hard in the snow.

　　 From the castle to the forbidden forest, a distance of a few hundred yards, it took them almost 20 minutes to finish...every step must be stepped in the thick snow.

　　 In the end, almost all of them were bruised and swollen from the cold, and finally came to Professor Keitelburn’s cabin——

　　 This thatched cottage looks as if it will be crushed by snow at any time.

　　 Matthew walked over and knocked on the door several times.

　　 Soon, the door opened, and Professor Keitelburn limped and appeared behind the door, revealing his old face.

　　 "You can count it, kid..." the teacher of the Magical Animals Protection Class exclaimed, "Come in!"

　　 The fire in the house finally made them feel a little warm in this cold winter.

　　 There is only one room in the cabin. Many turkey, ham, and bacon hung on the ceiling, and a large kettle was boiling water in the fireplace.

　　Professor Keitelburn has been busy for a long time, and made a cup of steaming tea for them alone to help them drive away the cold...

　　 "What do you need us to do for you, Professor?" Draco Malfoy asked eagerly while drinking tea.

　　 Obviously, he prefers to finish the last lesson of this semester earlier, and then enjoy the two-week Christmas holiday.

　　 "Don't worry, kid..." Professor Keitelburn asked unhurriedly, "I suppose you haven't had breakfast yet?"

　　 There is no doubt about it, after all, it's still dark, and the Hogwarts auditorium has not even opened.

　　……

　　 They spent about half an hour in Professor Kettleburn’s cabin, ate some "rock cake" and drank some hot tea at the same time.

　　 The body, which was almost frozen, gradually became warm.

Taking advantage of this time, Professor Keitelburn also "armed" himself...including wearing his three prosthetic limbs, putting on a thick moleskin coat, and wearing a helmet-style wool cap.

　　 Of course, he didn't forget to stick his wand around his waist.

　　 "Okay, kids!" Professor Keitelburn said, "I think you have also warmed up... Let's set off now to the Forbidden Forest!"

　　 "Is it really going to the Forbidden Forest..." Theodore Knott glanced worriedly at the white space in the distance, and whispered, "We might be frozen to death in it..."

"Don't be afraid, boy," Professor Keitelburn replied carelessly, as if he didn't care about it at all. "The temperature in the Forbidden Forest is much higher than the outside world. It's not that cold... let alone you are with me. ..."

　　 "But professor, have you forgotten..." Crabbe also questioned with a naive look, "There are many terrible monsters in the Forbidden Forest...just like the **** dog that appeared back then..."

"Are you questioning me, young man?" Professor Keitelburn looked a little angry. "I am almost as familiar with the Forbidden Forest as I am with my wife... As long as you follow me, you will not encounter it. Any danger!"

　　 A few people quickly closed their mouths obediently, and there was no longer any "opposition".

　　 And the words of Professor Keitelburn seemed to agitate their low mood a little...

　　 Then, they followed Professor Kettleborn and set off!

　　Six tightly wrapped people~www.ltnovel.com~ left the hut by the forbidden forest.

　　 They stepped in the snow and walked in the direction of the forbidden forest. At the same time on the snow, leaving line after line of footprints.

Among the five Slytherin students, only Matthew had participated in the after-school practice of Professor Kettleborn (Last year when Professor Kettleborn was in charge of leading them to carry out the after-school practice, the other four were lying in school. Inside the hospital).

　　 Therefore, Matthew is also the only one who knows a little bit about this old professor who seems to be a bit "bohemian".

　　 "Professor Keitelburn," he walked in front and asked softly, "what are we practicing after class today?"

　　 "It has to do with the **** horses..." Professor Kettleborn replied with some difficulty in the cold wind.

"They seem to be very restless lately, damn...so I plan to go deep into the forbidden forest today, look for evidence of their intentional departure from the habitat, and then report it to Principal Rozier...you must let those living in the forbidden forest The **** parasites in here settle down..."

　　 "...As for you, it's fine to be my assistant temporarily; it's more to show you the atmosphere in the Forbidden Forest!"

　　 "The horseman...restless..." Matthew murmured.

　　At the same time, he frowned.

　　 For some reason, thinking of what happened at Hogwarts recently... Matthew had a very bad premonition.
