Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 275 Flying Mongoose

Maureen asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Sweet frowned, as if hesitating to say something, and after a while, he said again: "Do you know what I went to the Forbidden Forest every day last semester?"

"Ok?"

Maureen stared at Sweet, surprised and said: "Wait, you don't want to say that the matter of the Forbidden Forest has something to do with your going to the Forbidden Forest every day last semester, right?"

"That's not true." Sweet shook his head slightly, "I'm not that capable, but Bathory can feel it."

"Batory can feel it?" Maureen was surprised, "Who is Batory?"

Sweet was silent for a moment, then said, "You know the Untraceable Stretching Curse?"

"I will, why are you asking that?"

Maureen still didn't know much about this mysterious guy, Sweet. He knew that Sweet used to live with Muggles, but before that, Sweet was also from a wizard family. He seemed to have some powerful abilities, and was What Payngade liked was that Maureen never knew who Sweet was.

If Sweet was just a simple orphan, Maureen wouldn't believe it.

Sweet looked a little embarrassed, and this was the first time Maureen had seen Sweet show such an expression.He hesitated and said, "I need you to do me a favor, assist me in repairing a box, and use the traceless stretching spell."

"Yes." Mo Lin replied without thinking.

"Don't you even ask what kind of box it is?" Sweet asked in surprise.

"You'll know anyway, won't you?" Mo Lin spread his hands.

The two of them found an empty classroom on the fourth floor. Sweet looked around the door. At this time, everyone squeezed out of the castle to join in the fun. No one was there. He let Maureen enter the classroom and closed the door. It was locked, and with a wave of the wand, the curtain was also drawn.

Sweet took out a somewhat damaged box from his schoolbag, about the size of a book, and he unfolded the box like origami, and it quickly turned into a large suitcase.

"My mother left me something before she died," Sweet said, as he unhooked the case, opened the suitcase to reveal a ladder, and climbed inside the suitcase.

This kind of suitcase is not uncommon. There is a traceless stretching spell cast inside it, and Alton has one. Molin was also buried by a pile of documents last time, so he is no stranger.He followed Sweet into the suitcase, stepping on the bottom.

The bottom of the box was a bit dark, with only a beam of light shining in from above the suitcase, and a pungent strange smell, and then a sharp cry came from the darkness.Maureen frowned.

"Bartory, don't be afraid, it's me."

Sweet gave a sound of comfort, and waved his wand to light up the bottom of the entire box. Immediately afterwards, Molin saw a very strange creature flapping its wings, appearing from the corner, staring at Molin unkindly.

This magical creature is about two meters tall, has a pair of bat-shaped gray wings, but has a head like a meerkat, a pair of very long fangs in its mouth, sharp claws on its short limbs, and two Tentacle-like tail.

"Flying mongoose? You actually raise such a dangerous animal?" Mo Lin was surprised.

He had seen this kind of creature in a magic book before. It was very ferocious, carnivorous and blood-sucking. It liked to live in dark places. It had a strong magic defense. It would not actively attack people, but it could kill ordinary wizards.

"It's called Bathory, and I raised it." Sweet walked over and stroked the flying mongoose's head. The fierceness in the flying mongoose's eyes dissipated, and he rubbed his head against Sweet.

"You carried it with you when you were at the orphanage?" Maureen asked.

Sweet was not doing well in the orphanage. If he let this thing out, it would be enough to kill the Muggle dean. Now it seems that Sweet is still very measured.

"I don't dare to let it run around. I'm worried that it will be captured by the Ministry of Magic's people who protect creatures. People from the Ministry of Magic have never acted reliably." Sweet frowned. He didn't like the style of the Ministry of Magic. Because his sister in the orphanage is still unconscious.

But he felt that it was unnecessary to say this, so he returned to the topic of the flying mongoose: "Bartory has been hungry for a summer vacation, and likes to eat raw meat, I can't provide it with it, so I can only catch a few mice at night to feed it. "

Mo Lin nodded slightly. He glanced at Duoyi who was sleeping in his pocket, and thought that there was still this little guy of his who was not picky about food, and was docile and easy to feed.

"It's not a wise choice for you to keep it in a suitcase, it's not suitable for this kind of raptor," Morin reminded.

"I know, I raised it in the Forbidden Forest last semester, and let it go to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to catch food." Sweet said sullenly.

Mo Lin nodded thoughtfully: "So you went to the Forbidden Forest early every morning in last semester just to—"

"To make sure it's okay, it only needs to catch one or two mice a day to fill its stomach." Sweet touched Bathory's sharp claw again, and it retracted the claw, lying on the ground It called out twice, and flicked its tentacled tail back and forth.

"Oh, this tail!" Mo Lin suddenly remembered, "The last time I followed you to the Forbidden Forest, it was this guy's tail that attacked me, didn't it?"

At that time, Mo Lin thought he had encountered a tentacle monster.

"Yes, it found out that you were following me." Sweet didn't deny it, anyway, this matter has passed.

He took out a few chicken legs from his schoolbag, fed them to Bathory, and continued: "But this semester won't work. I was going to put it in the Forbidden Forest at the beginning of the semester, but it seems to be afraid of the depths of the Forbidden Forest." The thing in it seems very disturbed, so I can only continue to keep it here."

"Flying mongooses generally have no natural enemies. Those flying dragons don't appear in the Forbidden Forest. They can also deal with giant spiders. So what is it afraid of?" Mo Lin asked.

"That's what I want to know too. The Forbidden Forest is not peaceful, and even Bathory feels uneasy."

Sweet took out his wand to clean up the feces in the corner, and then lightened the corner slightly. The corner there had collapsed, and some gaps appeared, and the space formed by magic was slowly collapsing.

"This suitcase is very old, and the Untraceable Stretching Charm is about to fail. I'm not proficient in mastering this spell. Can you help me?" Sweet asked.

Molin walked over and stretched out his wand, and waved it towards the corner. He had learned the basic traceless stretching spell. Although it couldn't expand much space, it was still possible to repair the invalid spell.

"Thank you." Sweet looked relieved, if the box was broken, he would no longer be able to keep the flying mongoose.

"No, it's not a big problem." Molin glanced at Bathory and said, "Then you plan to raise it here for the next semester?"

"It used to stay here. I used to sneak it out for a walk at night. It still prefers a wide place." Sweet said.

"Then you have to be careful, don't let people find out." Mo Lin reminded, "The school does not allow such fierce creatures."

"I understand, can you please—" Sweet hesitated.

"I won't say anything, don't worry."

Maureen knew what Sweet was going to say, anyway, he was not a person who followed the rules, and he would not ask others to follow the rules.

"Thank you." Sweet said sullenly. He knew that Mo Lin was not the kind of person who would inform, so he asked Mo Lin for help.

"By the way, do you have any news about Lucas?" Mo Lin asked.

Sweet didn't say how he found Lucas, but he seemed to be able to know Lucas's whereabouts within a certain range.

Sweet shook his head.

"The magnet in his hand is very dangerous. If you have any news about him, you'd better come and go with me. You can't use magic outside of school." Molin thought for a while, and then said: "I know how to deal with that magnet. .”

They were both restless masters, and Sweet couldn't be seen as an ordinary first-year student, there was no doubt about it.

Sweet glanced at Maureen and said, "I know."

Sweet wanted to appease the flying mongoose again, so Maureen left here first, and went to the library on the fifth floor by himself.

But he was even more puzzled in his mind, what terrible thing was in the depths of the Forbidden Forest that would scare even a ferocious creature like the flying mongoose?
What's the matter with that roaring sound that appears from time to time?

Molin thought of the stone arch that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the castle, and at the same time thought of the curtained door beyond the Ministry of Magic. What is the connection between these things?
He felt that things were getting more and more confusing.
