Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 189 Re-entering the Forbidden Forest
The night is full of stars and the moonlight is very charming.

Ah ah ah ah ah--

It's a pity that a series of extremely shrill screams pierced the night sky, breaking the atmosphere of such a scene.

Percy and McGuffin clung to everything they could hold on to in front of the car.

Now the whole carriage is completely...

Its rear was completely tilted, and it was quickly pulled up by the Thestral and changed direction.

For a while, it rushed to the moon, and for a while, it swooped down to the ground.

Is this special? ?

—Is it a roller coaster? !

Soon, they passed over the convoy that was originally in the front row, and entered Hogwarts Castle first.

"What the hell is going on..." After calming down a bit, Percy took a breath and asked in bewilderment.

From an angle he couldn't see, the MacGuffin could see that the sides of the Thestral's back wings were curled up, and the crumpled wings were fully extended.

Just one wing is one meter long!
Every time it flapped, the McGuffin could feel a gust of cold wind blowing towards his face. Although he couldn't see the body of thestral... Percy could also feel the blowing airflow and hear the sound of the wings flapping.

"I'm telling you... I'm Hogwarts, the prefect of Gryffindor... No matter who you are, I order you to descend quickly..."

Percy took out his wand from his pocket, pointed at the shaft of the carriage angrily,

"I warn you... Hurry up, land, you must immediately, get me down..."

He couldn't see, but he could feel...or maybe by now he remembered that the carriages at Hogwarts were pulled by thestrals, invisible magical creatures.

McGuffin saw that the Thestral seemed to understand a little bit, and it slowed down a little.

But Percy didn't have a smile on his face yet.
Suddenly, the carriage picked up speed again, as if it was irritated - it rushed straight to Hogwarts Castle.

The speed was too fast for McGuffin to react.

what--

It was Percy's drawn voice.

McGuffin faced the wall of Hogwarts Castle that was getting closer and closer, his mind went blank and he couldn't think.

He can even see a phantom.

——Professor Snape stared wide-eyed in a certain corridor with an 'unbelievable' expression, watching a carriage rushing towards him with two little wizards on it?
McGuffin and Snape looked directly at each other, confirming each other.

Then, in the last few seconds, the Thestral suddenly pulled the carriage and almost turned 90 degrees, running sideways on the wall of Hogwarts Castle and rushing away from here.

—McGuffin's face brushed past Snape through the glass, and McGuffin could see that he almost dropped a necklace in his hand.

The carriage rushed towards the sky at high speed, and then changed direction from time to time to fly around the entire wall of Hogwarts Castle. Sometimes the wheels even directly used the wall as a runway...colliding, sliding, and then flying away...waiting for the next contact again.

There is no way to cast any spells at all in this violent 'experience project'.

Percy and McGuffin clung to whatever they could, trying to hang themselves from the wagon.

After coming over for a while, the carriage finally got out of this crazy situation.

(Although I have flown around the Gryffindor Tower, the West Tower, and the S-shaped walls of the Astronomy Tower... I have slid and run on the roof connecting the main building and other ancillary buildings...)
——This is so much stimulated by the roller coaster, just look at Percy who is now sluggish and limp, and the degree of excitement is obvious.

The carriage began to stabilize, and finally began to fly slowly.

"What the hell...go wherever you like!"

"Labor and capital don't care!"

McGuffin reckoned Percy thought so too.

All he could do now was collapse, powerless, and tremblingly holding his wand.

However, having said that, McGuffin looked forward and could see the mirror-smooth water surface, sparkling in the moonlight.

—It’s the Black Lake.

This direction, thestrals are trying to pull us to

"Forbidden Forest?"

Percy gasped and spoke, confirming McGuffin's guess.

At the same time, there was a banging sound in the rear compartment, and McGuffin didn't know what Harry and Malfoy were doing.

Could it be that at this time, two groups of people were able to start a fight?

……

--what happened?

Harry and the others tried to stand upright in the carriage, and they were thrown into a ball. Malfoy and Harry were even in a panic, desperately trying to grab something... Trying to stand still, they even hugged each other unconsciously.

(Of course when things calmed down a bit, the two of them immediately turned away from each other in disgust.)
Hermione leaned against the window to see what was going on.

She saw the carriage turn in a big arc, run along the walls of Hogwarts castle, fly over the towers,...up and down, jumping constantly,...finally crossed the lawn outside, came to the sky...and rushed towards the direction of the Black Lake.

Everyone in the carriage was a little hysterical, and fear and confusion pervaded everyone's hearts.

Among them, Malfoy is on the verge of collapse, he is like a repeater, he can only keep cursing Harry as a disaster star, and anyone who follows him will be in trouble...

At first, Ron and Harry could bear it, after all, they were still in a short-circuit panic, but Malfoy's foul language dragged Harry's parents and family...

This made the two of them intolerable.

"Malfoy, shut up! Or..."

"Why did I say something wrong? It's because of you... so the mysterious person came to your house 11 years ago... If it wasn't for you, your parents would probably still be alive... The boy who survived the catastrophe... I think it's just a disaster!"

This made the two of them shout angrily, and rushed to Malfoy's side to do it!
Malfoy looked up at his two followers, wanting to count on them... But Goyle and Crabbe looked ugly, they were still in the dizzy and nauseated state caused by the crazy 'roller coaster' just now.

"The front teeth competition is great!"

Malfoy was outnumbered by two fists, and finally he pulled out his wand and cast a jinx on Ron.

——Ron's front teeth kept growing wildly, until Hermione took out her wand to undo the spell, then it stopped and retracted.

On the other hand, Harry cast a spell on Malfoy, making him do a quick tap dance on the carriage.

This is also where McGuffin and Percy heard that thud.

And Harry himself was cast another spell by Malfoy, which caused him to hold his stomach and keep laughing... He couldn't stop at all.

"Stop the curse!"

"Stop the curse!"

Hermione was very angry, she screamed, "What are you doing! If you want to kill yourself, just jump from here..."

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to have an idea.

"Jump down..."

"Jump down!! Are you crazy!" Even Malfoy looked at the Muggle know-it-all lady in surprise, and he felt that this guy was crazy.

Hermione gave the guy a disdainful look, and then resumed speaking without paying attention.

"Yes! Jump down... If you do it again, I think this carriage will disintegrate in mid-air... It's better to be ready to jump down, and look at the direction this carriage is heading towards the Forbidden Forest..."

Harry, Malfoy, and Neville, the young wizards who once had a one-night tour in the Forbidden Forest turned pale suddenly, and resounded what they experienced when they were punished and locked up in the Forbidden Forest.

"Harry... do you know the Shock Absorbing Charm? You can jump directly from the carriage and land directly on the ground... just like the spell cast by a Quidditch player who accidentally falls on the ground...Harry, you should master this spell?!" Hermione continued.

But several people shook their heads again and again, saying they would not.

Hermione was so disappointed that it was impossible for her to jump off to survive alone.

But what made her even more angry was that Ron pulled out his wand behind her back.

Secretly pointing at Malfoy to cast a spell and avenge him.

"Ron-what do you want-do-do!" Hermione said word by word.

Facing the furious Hermione for some reason, Ron actually thought of his mother, Mrs. Weasley. He was speechless for a while, and he hurriedly wanted to take back his wand, and murmured to himself.

"I...I just..."

thump—

A loud sound came from outside.

Suddenly the carriage turned 360 degrees.

What's going on here!

what--!
Then came Ron's horrific scream, his voice trembling, "My wand, my wand! Look what the hell this wagon has done..."

Harry clutched the big fake bag on his head and looked in Ron's direction.

Ron's wand was almost short in two pieces, the upper end was pulled down, and only a few strands of wood fiber were poorly connected.

……

Meanwhile outside the carriage,

Percy and McGuffin were trembling with their wands, facing the
—The Whomping Willow.

It is almost three stories high, and its waist is as thick as two buses side by side. The branches are almost bare, and some leaves are scattered here and there. Each leaf is surprisingly large... almost as big as a manhole cover.

Moreover, this huge monster is now trembling all over, shaking non-stop...

Even if the MacGuffin doesn't know much about the Whomping Willow plant, it's not a friendly hello.

After all, not long ago,
He saw with his own eyes a thestral flying in mid-air, pouring "Holy Water" on the Whomping Willow in a 'cool' manner,
——God-sent, fresh and fragrant, and hot,
It descended from the sky and landed on the Whomping Willow profusely.

Although according to Muggles, it is green, natural, organic and pollution-free.

But I'm afraid depending on the situation, this is not what the Whomping Willow wants.

The branches all over its body shot up into the sky, like a certain grandma in the east, waving the branches all over the sky, forming a net, trying to pull the carriage down and beat it violently.

Thestrals pulled the carriage to speed up, going up and down, rotating and flowing gracefully, and shuttled gracefully through it.

Finally, after Whomping Willow bent down and stretched out a twisted and thick branch to hit the carriage, it pulled them away from here.

In this encounter, Percy and McGuffin were almost thrown out of the car, and now they are almost like slimes, "slapping" limp outside the car, not wanting to move a finger.

And from McGuffin's perspective, he saw that thestrals looked very excited for some reason. He snorted, made a rough voice, and kept flapping his wings and rushed towards the Forbidden Forest with his head covered.

He tucked his wand up his sleeve so Percy couldn't see it—his Thestral tail feather wand glowed black and purple.

What the hell is this with a wand? !

What happened tonight is very familiar. McGuffin thought the plot was broken, but he didn't expect that now
——Out of control, flying into the sky, Whomping Willow...

Although the process is completely different from the original plot, there are too many coincidences... Could it be that the inertia of the prophecy is so strong that it will pull the seemingly disintegrated plot back to its original position.

The thoughts in McGuffin's head were in a mess, and he didn't know what to do?
At the same time, the speed of thestrals continued to increase, and they flew higher and higher.

Go over the clouds and come above them.

——They are already in the Forbidden Forest.

Not long after, the Thestrals pulled the carriage and stopped in a certain open space deep in the Forbidden Forest.

The chain connecting the shaft to the Thestral fell off automatically.

This guy rushed straight into the Forbidden Forest excitedly.

This solitary carriage was left behind.

McGuffin limp and leaned directly on the carriage, he didn't want to move.

The carriage door was opened, and Harry and the others staggered from inside to the wet ground.

Hedwig flew out of the knocked-off cage into the night sky, screaming angrily, and never returned.

This completely defeats Percy's attempt to owl the professor's letter.

After a short nap.

"I think we'd better start the fireworks and let Hagrid know, come and save us!" Harry pulled out his wand to signal.

Hermione hurriedly interrupted to stop, "Hagrid is welcoming new students now... not to mention the professors are all in the hall now."

"No one will notice at all..."

Everyone looked at the dark Forbidden Forest around them. The twisted trees were blown by the wind in the faint moonlight, and the imaginary gods, ghosts and ghosts seemed to be hidden in it...

——The chill seeped into people, and it was extremely terrifying!
After a while of discussion, it was mainly Percy who put on his prefect style and started directing these second-year wizards,

However, McGuffin was not wrong when he heard what he said, so he followed his instructions and prepared to walk along the path to see if he could get out here.

"When the carriage was about to land, I took a look at the direction Hogwarts should be..." Percy pointed to the left side of the carriage with his wand and said.

"Okay, okay, now follow me..."

"Take some key and valuable luggage first, and put the rest here. It's very dangerous in the Forbidden Forest..."

"After we found the professor, we were making other plans...see if we can come back to find these luggage, anyway, the animals here will not take these things..."

"I'm in front, then..."

"I'll stay behind!" McGuffin suggested.

"Okay, let's go now!"

Everyone is in the current situation, united and just want to get out of the forbidden forest.

Even Malfoy, who had always been arguing, obediently remained silent, and followed Percy, who seemed to be the only reliable senior wizard nowadays.

His two followers were also in the team, but these two guys seemed to be foolishly confused about the situation, and brought what they thought was the most important thing - roast sausage.

And already started eating, chewing and swallowing...

There was a certain 'food' smell in the queue.

MacGuffin couldn't help but stay a few steps behind the two big fleshy balls and Malfoy who was huddling together.

He clearly saw the two bloody characters 'Danger' painted on the heads of those three guys.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

Percy lit the tip of his wand, emitting a brilliant blue light - pointing the way.

It is a narrow path leading deep into the woods.

In this way, they entered the forest.

With the tip of the wand glowing dimly, follow the path.

The fucking robes were ripped apart by low-hanging branches and brambles as they marched in small groups.

After a while, they noticed that the ground seemed to be beginning to slope downward, although the trees were still dense.

Suddenly, there was movement from the grass in front and behind the trees.

Percy stopped, held his breath, and strained his ears, alert for the slightest sound.

The sound of crunching branches being trampled and falling came from among the bushes.

Swipe, a black shadow appeared instantly, and Malfoy only let out a piercing scream before disappearing.

"What's that?" Ron kept grinding his teeth, trembling all over.

Although Gore and Crabbe are big, they are very small.

Seeing that Malfoy really disappeared suddenly, he immediately hid behind Percy.

Hermione, on the other hand, neither said nor moved, her eyes fixed on a point about ten feet above the forest floor behind Harry.Her face turned blue-gray, full of fear.

"Harry, watch out!" she yelled.

Harry didn't even have time to turn around.He was suddenly picked up by a fluffy, arthropod-like thing, hanging him upside down, hanging face down in mid-air.

"Burning flames!"

After taking a step back, McGuffin immediately reacted and chanted the spell aloud.

Gold-red flames surged out from his wand, turning into a stream of fire, temporarily forcing the monster back.

Harry grunted as he was thrown down by the monster that retreated into the shadows.

Ron originally wanted to catch up and save Harry, but McGuffin stopped him.

He looked at McGuffin puzzled.

"Harry come!"

McGuffin directly used the summoning spell to get it to his side.

Sure enough, when the spiders saw Harry being summoned by magic, they pressed their backs and jumped to Harry's original position.

——That was originally a trap.

The golden-red flames gradually faded... In the darkness, two shadowy and terrifying figures surrounded them.

Neville screamed, and he was almost attacked by the shadow ambushing him from behind.

Hermione knocked it back with a [Petrification Curse], but it didn't feel like it had much effect.

The figure flinched a little, then kept approaching.

At this moment Percy finally reacted, he pointed his wand to his mouth, said a spell, then took a deep breath, puffed up his chest and let it out.

A mass of bright flame shot up from Percy's mouth.

(Compared to the majestic stream of flames made by the McGuffin just now, which is like a thin rope, it is also much more powerful)
It kept surging forward like a sea tide, pushing back the monsters hidden in the shadows.

At this time, everyone saw the trace of the monster in the flames.

——The huge spider was lying on the ground (almost as big as an adult domestic pig), with its eight fluffy legs constantly shaking, and it seemed that it was tentatively trying to rush over.

McGonagall immediately realized that this was the descendant of the eight-eyed spider that Hagrid raised...

And this poor cutie that Hagrid said is a meat eater... is a dangerous magical creature of the XXXX level stipulated by the Department of Magical Beasts of the Ministry of Magic...

The key is that these things live in groups. According to my impression... the one I saw just now was only the most common size among them. At first, the biggest blind old spider (Aragok) could even reach the size of an RV.

And they are intelligent... they can even understand human language and strategies.

——In McGuffin's opinion, this is a pure spider demon!

McGuffin feels that if these spiders have a certain number to expand their population, they can even compete with certain types of dragons. (Otherwise the Ministry of Magic wouldn't put them on the same level of dangerous creatures as dragons)
What's more, thinking about the way those ordinary little spiders eat...it's not hard to imagine what would happen if they really fell into their hands.

- trembling without cold!

Maybe it was Percy's display of magical prowess that made the spiders feel unworthy... Maybe they had gone back to call for reinforcements.

In short, several people clearly saw that the spiders began to recede, and at the same time, they threw something down.

"Malfoy, that's Malfoy!" Goyle and Crabbe screamed, pointing to an unknown object left in place after the spider retreated.

——Draco Malfoy was lying on the ground, motionless, and he didn't know whether he passed out or...

Percy hurriedly tried to cancel the spellcasting, (Percy's fireworks were almost burning to Malfoy).

McGuffin knew it couldn't be like this, he immediately cast [Fire Curse] on Malfoy, and stopped Percy from doing stupid things.

Sure enough... Seeing that the flame wave hadn't dissipated, and Draco Malfoy was safe, the spider began to recede into the shadows, and the rustling sound began to disappear.

"Are they gone?" Harry finally came out of his stupor, shaking his head to break the silence.

McGuffin and Percy clutched their wands, wary of their surroundings.

"Let's go quickly! Eight-eyed spiders are group animals... If we don't want to become a snack in the spider's mouth... we must leave here quickly."

McGuffin denied Harry's speculation and told several people a worse news.

McGuffin used the little trick of the [Luminescent Curse] found earlier to keep the blue light stable, suspended in the mid-air above their heads...

Although walking like this in the dark Forbidden Forest is undoubtedly equivalent to setting up a target, telling other predators that the food is here.

But the most important thing at the moment is to leave the eight-eyed spider's hunting area.Moreover, animals such as spiders do not rely on vision to see objects. In comparison, this method allows them to increase their speed of travel.

And as far as McGuffin knows from the original book, almost all the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest seem to be related to Hagrid, and there are no such dark creatures as werewolves and vampires in the rumors. Among them, the most dangerous ones are the group of eight-eyed spiders, except for Hagrid's younger brother.

"Let's go!" Percy also agreed very much. He woke up Ron and Neville who were almost petrified because of the spider.

McGuffin took out the trembling Gallon and Sigg from his pocket, and handed them to Hermione.

With his rich experience, he feels that this matter is far from over.

After that, several people unanimously decided to leave here as soon as possible.

However, McGuffin always felt as if he had forgotten something.

After a while, (they walked along another path), Hermione asked suddenly, as if she had passed here.

"Don't you think that this place is a bit familiar... and it's also a bit strange!"

Her heart was flustered, and she felt that something very strange and strange happened around her.

——Could it be that the two fleeing spiders just turned around and attacked from the side?

McGuffin's heart tightened, his pupils rolled quickly, and he glanced at Hermione...

Turn around again.

- nothing!

It's just two thestrals lying together... constantly stirring!

--Ok? !
McGuffin froze, quickly reacted, and turned his head to look.

I am special!
— Gan!

McGuffin was so angry that he couldn't move anywhere, his veins exploded.

"I heard spring, it's mating season again!"

(Looking at the constantly shaking buttocks, the familiar dubbing automatically appeared in McGuffin's mind...)
——Chun NM an egg!

"This guy pulled us here because he was in heat!

"Anxipi, labor and management must screw this guy up."
