Chapter 58 Entering the Forbidden Forest
After this long and thrilling night, when Harry Potter woke up the next morning, he saw the Demstrong exchange students in the hall, sitting next to Gryffindor's table, and while the trio was having a meal, he could even hear the conversation coming from the opposite side.
"Hey! You know? There is an interesting forest behind this school." A large witch whispered.
"What is this school? It's Hogwarts!" Hermione whispered to the trio in a little indignant manner: "They're so rude!"
Harry turned his head and saw the little man (Yakov) who was on the duel stage that day, with a swearing expression on his face to the big man who had just spoken: "That is the Forbidden Forest, the forbidden area of this school. It is said that the history is very long, and there are many kinds of magical creatures living... There are many strange things there, werewolf, I heard."
"Werewolf!" the Dermstrong exchange students whispered.
This reminded Harry of the first night he had contacted the Forbidden Forest. At that time, Neville said so, but Neville said so in a crying voice and fearful way, his voice was like his throat was choked. These Demstrong's exchange students spoke with expectations and were extremely excited to mention the legend of werewolf in the Forbidden Forest.
Harry Potter heard a very familiar smell in this tone, the most familiar sign of troublesomeness in Gryffindor.
"Cool!" Yakov shouted: "Are they trying to protect werewolf? We Russia don't know how to protect werewolf. I heard from my father that at that time, werewolf in Siberia and Ukraine were still very common, and then gradually disappeared!"
"It was all killed by the Muggles!" his big companion added.
"Muggles are so scary... At that time, those Muggles would carry guns and enter the forest in winter to hunt bears and werewolfs. They found werewolfs that had nowhere to be forage in winter. They were usually a group of people, led by Alpha-headed wolves, and then killed them all, pulling off the werewolf's skin to make a jacket." The big man added.
"It is said that there are many other protected magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, horseman and unicorn, eight-eyed giant spider and eagle-headed horse-body winged beast... that's great! Keep these small animals behind the school, not far from the school... It would be great if we, Demstrong, could do this!" Yakov exclaimed sincerely.
Hermione finally couldn't help but interrupt, "You know the Forbidden Forest, but you don't know how dangerous it is...those dangerous magical animals..."
"Dangerous?" Yakov nodded and said, "It's really dangerous... We must not be caught by professors and people from the Ministry of Magic. You must know that the magical animal protection law here is very strict, and those magical animals are in a very dangerous situation... many are about to extinction! Those tall and strong horsemen, arewolfs who will be crazy on the full moon night, as well as giant monsters, and the largest mountain monster among giant monsters!"
"Oh my God! My dream is to hunt a mountain monster!" A stout Slav said in surprise: "I have killed enough of such fishy and slippery things as a deep dive! A mountain monster... I can inlaid its head on the wall next to my fireplace."
"Hunting mountain monsters is illegal!" Yakov warned him.
"So I just want to play with it!"
Hermione's warning did not work at all. It seemed that Demstrong's exchange students were just more fascinated. Until breakfast, they were still chattering about the wonderful magical animals, discussing their sharp teeth, venom and fatality. Harry felt as if five or six Hagrids were gathered together, all of them glowing.
"They will definitely travel to the Forbidden Forest tonight!" Hermione concluded.
Both Harry and Ron agreed with her judgment, but Hermione said next: "So we're going to tell Professor McGonagall!"
"How can that be?" Ron almost jumped up: "I'm not a traitor. Think about it if we were traveling at night, someone told the professor... I would break up with him!"
"But you have no friendship with them." Hermione pointed out calmly.
"It's not our turn to inform us!" Ron was very indignant when he said: "There are more people like you... and he will only tell the professor, report to the professor. Gryffindor is never afraid..."
"If we don't tell the professor... they might die!" Hermione said heavily.
"I think..." Ron said eagerly: "We should follow them and protect their safety. We went to Forbidden Forest last time, and this time we had time to stop them!"
Hermione understood Harry's eyes as soon as she looked at him, and she said nervously: "Harry, you won't agree with him, right?"
When night fell, Griffindo's lounge gradually became quiet, and the door of Harry's dormitory opened silently. At the door of the lounge, the fat woman was sleeping. She was awakened and exclaimed: "Who is it? Who is there?" But the door opened was empty, and the subtle, the sound of rubbing the ground with her feet stretched into the corridor. There, Hermione suddenly came out from the side and said to the empty air: "I knew you would not give up."
A head suddenly emerged from the air, and Ron whispered: "Hermione? How did you find us?"
Hermione sneered, "You're stepping on the salt on the ground!" Ron then noticed that there was a line of salt sprinkled on the ground. Hermione took the lead and explained, "Salt has an indissoluble bond with wizards in the Muggle culture. They believe that salt is sacred, can drive away evil spirits and stop demons... This should be the reason."
"It can be used to make something invisible... Muggles use it to protect themselves."
When Harry and his friends came to the Forbidden Forest, and Hager's wooden house, they found the Dermstrong students, four of them, quickly escaped from the Hogwarts castle, and Hermione first met.
"Hey! Look at what I found? A group of like-minded people!" Yakov was overjoyed.
The big man opened his arms: "Welcome to our Forbidden Forest Expedition Team!"
"I'm not here to join you." Hermione said angrily: "Do you know how dangerous it is? Werewolf will bite your throat, and the eight-eyed giant spider will inject venom into your body."
"Eight-eyed giant spider?" Ron screamed.
Harry hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't wake up Hagrid!" The Durmstrong students also whispered, "It's not safe here, let's go in and say."
