Chapter 53 The Forbidden Forest Fire
Harry and Ron sat on the floor, their backs against the wall.

Harry's face was flushed, he was out of breath, and his tone was desperate: "Ron, you run, I, huh, I really can't run anymore!"

Ron didn't look at Harry, nor did he answer Harry's words.Because not only did he not have the strength to turn his head, but he didn't even have the strength to say another word.

Suddenly, they found that the side windows suddenly lit up, as if someone had lit a large lamp outside.

"Hermione! I suggest you come and take a look at this." In the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, a girl called out to Hermione, who was still lying under the covers and reading.

"Marietta! Come quickly! The Forbidden Forest seems to be on fire!" Zhang Qiu stood in the Ravenclaw dormitory. The height of the tower allowed Zhang Qiu to see clearly everything that happened in the Forbidden Forest.

(The actual name in English should be: Qiu Zhang)

Filch, who was chasing Harry and Ron, also saw the scene outside the window, "Damn it!" After cursing, Filch turned around and went to the professors in the school.

In the Forbidden Forest, the flames continued to spread in the center, and the whole forest was ignited with raging flames. The dark red smoke covered the entire sky like a magician's curtain, and the red flames ran around. Although the moon in the sky It was shrouded in thick smoke, but the surrounding brightness did not decrease at all.

The residents living in the Forbidden Forest fled the flames in panic, and fled outward like crazy.

"Let's go! We don't need to worry about the side of the castle. Run to the other end. We need to establish a barrier there! Prevent the flames from spreading! Bane! Wait, go to the castle and ask the wizard inside!"

The people and horses in the tribe commanded by the patriarch of the centaur tribe responded to the natural disaster as soon as possible.For a moment, the sound of horseshoes resounded densely in the Forbidden Forest.

Near the acromant spider's lair, the spiders dragged the stones they found and blocked the hole near the flame.Spider silk is too poorly resistant to flames, and in the face of such a violent wildfire, it can only be used as fuel.

In Hagrid's hut, Hagrid didn't care to put on his clothes, just put on a pair of trousers, picked up the ax hanging behind the house, and ran into the forest.

In the Room of Requirement, Ed didn't put the Ravenclaw's crown on his head, after all, he remembered the spell that his father had cast on his own belongings.Ed felt that it was a very bad habit to randomly move another wizard's items.

Putting the crown in his pocket, Ed turned to look at Fox: "Fox, what's wrong with you?"

Fox seems very disturbed now, Ed is very strange, besides being plucked, what else is Phoenix afraid of?They are immortal.

"Whoa!!"

Fox's voice was very sharp, and Ed could hear the impatience in it.

Quickly guessing before it came, Fox's wings began to glow reddish, and then dimmed again.

【What happened to Fox? 】

Ed looked at Fox's strange behavior and couldn't guess what happened.

"Are we going to be in danger?" Ed asked Fox, after all, Fox was arranged to protect himself.

Fox ignored Ed, but fluttered his wings and flew towards the door.Ed quickly chased after him.

……

At the people and horses, watching the fire that was getting closer and closer, Ronan said to the patriarch: "Patriarch, this fire is burning too fast, we have no time to establish a separation zone!"

The patriarch of the people and horses looked at the fire, and made up his mind: "Take another two miles back and re-establish the isolation zone!"

……

At the same time, Filch told all the professors about the fire in the Forbidden Forest. Professor McGonagall stood in front of the gate on the first floor of the castle, watching the fire with worry. She alone had no way to stop the fire from spreading.

"Professor," Snape came first, wand in hand.

Professor McGonagall nodded, and turned around to see Professor Flitwick running out with small steps, also holding a wand in his hand, holding his glasses and saying, "Professor, we are going to use the rain spell to extinguish the fire with the help of rain."

"I know." Professor McGonagall responded: "But Dumbledore is not here, relying on us alone, there is no way to completely extinguish the fire. We can only extinguish part of it, which will not help."

"Professor, we..."

"Hoo!" Fox broke out of the window and flew towards the fire in the Forbidden Forest.

Ed, who was on the eighth floor, saw Fox flying out. He was anxious and shouted: "Bant!", then accelerated and jumped from the window.

The magic carpet Bant in the basement bedroom really heard Ed's cry, unfolded it, and then quickly flew out of the bedroom, and just caught Ed when he was about to fall to the second floor.

Ed, who was sitting on the magic carpet, saw the teachers coming out. He went over and heard what the teachers said, and said, "Professor, we can gather the students. Although the Rain Curse is an advanced magic, its effect is similar to that of a wizard." It is related to magic power, and there is no threshold for magic power strength.

Little things add up, the gathering of students from one of our colleges will definitely stop this fire. "

"Ed Flamel, you should be sleeping in your bedroom now, not in..."

"Snape, do as he said, call all the students." Professor McGonagall interrupted Snape, then took out his wand, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Call the clouds and call the rain!"

Professor Flitwick walked up to Professor McGonagall in a hurry, raised his head and said, "Professor, although the combined magic power of the students will definitely be able to extinguish the fire, our rain spell is an advanced magic, and we don't have time to teach it to all the students." "

"Then you can teach as many as you can, call the clouds and call the rain! Professor Flitwick, you might as well cast a few more spells now!"

"Call the clouds and call for the rain!" Ed also took out his wand, imitating Professor McGonagall, pointing at the sky.But unfortunately, there is not one more magic cloud in the sky.

Only when the magic cloud reaches a certain level, can the rain spell be truly cast successfully, and the heavy rain will fall.

"The syllables are a little off, just raise the last note by two tones." Professor Flitwick immediately corrected Ed's mistake.

"Call the clouds and call the rain!"

There is one more magical cloud in the sky.

This gave Professor Flitwick a little more confidence. Maybe it's a good idea to ask the students to cast spells together.

At the same time, above the Forbidden Forest, Fox flew to the center of the flames, spread his wings, the feathers seemed to be ignited, and began to become like flames.

An invisible barrier emanated from Fox, covering the flames, temporarily preventing the flames from spreading outward.The ferocious fire was temporarily suppressed.

The centaur patriarch saw Fox flying in the air, and shouted: "Everyone work hard! Phoenix helped us control the fire!"

The other horses and horses swung their axes and machetes harder.Build the isolation zone as quickly as possible.
