As soon as they saw the scene at the door, the three of them opened their mouths in surprise.

Harry twitched his lips, looked at Kyle who was following him and asked, "Is this... the garden you were talking about?"

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

"Are you serious?"

"What, what's the problem?"

Harry stopped talking.

This is clearly the Forbidden Forest. You can even see Hagrid's wooden house when you turn around. Kyle simply opened a back door in the house that leads directly to the Forbidden Forest.

Use the entire Forbidden Forest as a garden?

Really...

Harry felt that he was being played, but for a moment, he lost interest.

The same goes for Ron next to him.

It's just the Forbidden Forest. It's not like they've never been there before. Is it necessary to be so mysterious?

Instead, Hermione squinted her eyes and stared carefully at a tree not far away.

It's not unusual to have trees in the Forbidden Forest, but that tree was broken, which was a bit strange. What was even more strange were the three huge gaps on it.

The gaps are very neat, as if they were scratched out by some kind of creature.

But what creature can tear a tree down?

Although the trees on the edge of the Forbidden Forest are not very thick and not as thick as those deep in the Forbidden Forest, they are still scary enough.

No, not one, but five.

Hermione glanced around, and what was visible to the naked eye was that five trees had fallen to the ground in a mess. Three of them had the same gap on them, and the remaining two...the broken parts were uneven, as if they had been cut.

Broken.

Wait, it broke...

"Hagrid." Hermione frowned, "You didn't bring Grawp here, did you?"

"Uh... no..." Hagrid was at a loss and hesitated, "I didn't bring him here."

Grawp is Hagrid's younger brother, a stunted pure-blood giant who is only sixteen feet tall.

Hagrid brought him back from the giant tribe and raised him in the Forbidden Forest and took good care of him. At the same time, he also taught him the etiquette and rules of wizards.

How should I put it, although Grawp's size is a bit stunted, his brain perfectly meets the standards of a giant.

Hagrid wanted him to understand the complex rules and etiquette of wizards and normal humans, which was really difficult for the giant.

But Hagrid's actions only strengthened Hermione's thoughts.

These trees must have been broken by Graup, as only giants have such power.

"Listen to me, Hagrid." She said patiently: "I know that Grawp is a sensible child, but others don't know. Everyone is afraid of giants. If they see Grawp, it will definitely cause chaos.

of."

"I..." Hagrid wanted to explain, but after hesitating for a moment, he closed his mouth and said instead: "I have been teaching Grawp how to speak English, and he has almost learned it."

Harry and Ron immediately showed suspicious expressions... It was like hearing a five-legged monster learning to knit a sweater, which was incredible.

Just looking at Hagrid's extremely confused look, Harry decided to come out and smooth things over.

"Okay, Hermione, I think Hagrid must know what to do. It's time for us to go back to the castle."

"Yes." Hagrid also added, "It's lunch time soon. You guys should go back quickly."

The three of them returned the same way and left the new wooden house. As soon as they came outside, the door behind them was slammed shut.

"Something's wrong." Ron muttered, "Do you think there's anything strange about it?"

"Of course it's strange," Hermione said, "Hagrid would never take Grawp to the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

"That's not it." Ron shook his head, "I can't tell what's wrong, but it just feels different than usual."

"Hagrid kicked us out." Harry frowned.

"Yes, that's right, that's it." Ron slapped his thigh suddenly and finally understood.

When they came before, Hagrid would always warmly invite us to stay for dinner. Although the food he made was a bit... well, it's hard to put into words, but he was very enthusiastic every time.

But this time, Hagrid actually suggested that they should return to the castle.

"Maybe he's afraid that Hermione will continue talking." Harry said with some uncertainty.

He knew only too well how annoying the serious Hermione was.

Anyway, Hagrid will definitely be fine, and it's impossible for a Death Eater to disguise himself as a hybrid giant.

"Forget it, let's go back first." Harry said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, there is plenty of time, we can just make another trip."

The remaining two nodded and agreed.

Ron didn't care, but Hermione had no other choice.

After all, she didn't see Grawp nearby, so it was all speculation. If she came early tomorrow and tried to trick Hagrid, maybe he would spill the beans.

They have used this method more than once, and it works every time.

The three of them started to return the same way.

Hermione turned her head and glanced at the Forbidden Forest, trying to find if there were any traces of giants nearby.

But just this turn of her head made her freeze on the spot.

"Hermione?" Harry asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Hurry up." Ron urged: "After lunch time, we can only eat dry bread."

"Those trees... don't you think it's strange?" Hermione said.

"Tree?" Ron raised his head, "Isn't it normal for there to be trees in the Forbidden Forest? Are you just stupid from reading a book?"

"Reading doesn't make you stupid, but you must be." Hermione glared at him irritably: "Didn't you notice? The trees we saw are all intact."

After being reminded by her, Harry also realized that something was wrong.

When they were in the 'garden' before, several trees were broken, but now, the trees around the wooden house are all intact, and there are no signs of breakage at all.

"What's the matter? Maybe Kyle fixed it." Ron said nonchalantly: "It's not a difficult thing for him."

"Fixed...did you hear the noise?" Hermione became even more irritated, "It only lasted about a minute from the time we came out to now. Even Professor Dumbledore couldn't have destroyed five trees in such a short period of time.

Let the tree return to its original state.

"And it's so close, did you hear the branches swaying?"

"No." Harry shook his head, realizing what Hermione meant.

Maybe it was possible that Kyle could restore the five trees to their original state in a short time, but it couldn't be so quiet. They would definitely hear the sound of branches and leaves shaking during the process.

But from just now until now, the surroundings have been quiet, not even the sound of insects.

By the way, there are also the sounds of insects.

There are many bugs living on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. In the past, every time they came to find Hagrid, they could hear the cry of the bugs and the flapping of the wings of the fairy.

But this time there was no sound, it was eerily quiet, as if all the creatures around him had disappeared.

"Go over and take a look!" Hermione made a quick decision, turned around and walked back.

Harry followed closely behind.

Ron glanced regretfully in the direction of the castle auditorium, sighed, and followed.

Hermione didn't knock on the door, but walked directly around to the back of the wooden house, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

There is no door or anything behind the cabin.

But they clearly entered the Forbidden Forest from that direction just now, so how could the door disappear?

Hermione, who did not believe in evil, continued to walk forward, wanting to get a closer look.

However, five minutes later, there was still a short distance between her and the wooden house. No matter how she walked, ran, or changed direction, she could never get close to the wooden house.

If Hermione hadn't just come out of it, she might have even thought she saw a mirage.

"Impossible...this is impossible..." Hermione murmured.

At the same time, in the garden of the wooden house.

Hagrid looked at the three people milling around, "It seems they have discovered your arrangement."

"It's normal." Kyle waved his wand and reconnected the broken trees. "Harry and Ron will definitely not notice these details, and the same cannot be said for Hermione. She has always been very careful."

"Have you figured out how to explain it?"

"Why should I explain?" Kyle said, "Right now I am a professor, why should I explain to three students? If you hadn't just spoken for them, I wouldn't have let them in."

"...Sorry." Hagrid said.
