Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 559 Blood Moon and the Long-lost Sheepskin System

It was past ten o'clock in the evening on November [-]th, and the blood moon was in the sky.

This is a bloody day.

McGuffin followed Snape, Dumbledore, and Hagrid nervously, heading towards the center of the Forbidden Forest.

The moonlight was dim, and clouds floated over to cover it from time to time, which made the forest even darker.

If McGuffin could not see Hagrid's burly figure in front of him, and Yaya's panting and low barking sound beside him, he would definitely not have dared to come in here.

Especially after the nightmare trip of the previous few days.

Who knows if those damn fire dragons are flying over the Forbidden Forest to prey on them.

Hagrid strode forward in the dark, and even though the light from the tip of Dumbledore's wand... didn't illuminate the way ahead, he seemed to know where every root and stone was, and which thorny path to choose.

"Almost there, Professor Dumbledore... not far ahead."

A cold forest wind echoed from the woods, rustling the hem of their clothes. At this moment, Hagrid said, "I ask the horsemen to patrol around here, lest Romanian dragon trainers or other employees of the Ministry of Magic stray into it...It's a pity that the horsemen still refuse to approach that place..."

"Thanks, Hagrid... At that time, you still need to hold hands outside. The magic ceremony we used to exorcise [Blood Curse] from Albert is estimated to last for a long time..." Dumbledore said softly.

(His voice is clearly audible in this silent dark forest)

"No problem." Hagrid said with a smothered smile, "After all, McGuffin took such a big risk, so he took a breath of anger for me."

He turned to look at the McGuffin behind him, and continued, "Honestly, McGuffin... Harry's invisibility cloak... you..."

"Let's stop talking, let Harry ask Charlie? This... I really can't explain it to him..." McGuffin rejected this topic from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it like this." Hagrid actually felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly ended the topic.

And Snape, who had been walking in silence, was... very interested in this topic between them, but he knew that now was not the best time to ask Dumbledore, so he didn't speak to express doubts.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent.

They followed Hagrid through several forks in the road, passing through dense bushes, and saw some animal carcasses that were exposed under the woods and started to rot... They stepped on very old fallen leaves, awakening nests of spiders, scorpions, ants and mosquitoes...

As it got closer to the destination that Hagrid said, McGuffin saw more and more traces left by the battle with the 'magic giant plant' the year before last.

Those huge, broken branches, broken wood... fell from the sky and were smashed to the ground, inserted into the soil

MacGuffin can still see the black and red scorched marks left by the burnt after the great war in the past...

The scorched wood is full of insects and ants... It is covered with moss, mushrooms and other strange plants.

They are scattered on the path, scattered on both sides of the path,

Some of those giant broken branches piled up on top of each other to form an arch, which made Hagrid have to bend down and lower his head to pass under the moss-stained arch... Some directly smashed the narrow path in two, and the McGuffins even had to climb over the huge broken wood that was like a small building in front of them...

The faint blue fluorescent spell issued by Dumbledore even cast a thin layer of dreamy color on the scenery along the way... making a layer of blue light appear on the surface of the giant broken wood of various shapes,
The light covered the moss covered in mist and mist, and shone on the green, purple, black and red mushrooms of various colors... Coupled with the peculiar shape of the broken wood itself, and from time to time, a blood-colored moonlight sprinkled from the gaps in the branches of the deep forest, giving the roadside scenery a strange blood-red color...

All these make their scenery along the way very mysterious, magical and magnificent.

"It's just ahead, we're almost there!" Hagrid suddenly said, reminding them.

They walked past a huge moss-covered splinter, and Hagrid pointed forward after shoving a weeping branch across from them.

"No, it's here."

The MacGuffin heard the murmur of water,

Then he took two steps forward, stood with Dumbledore and the others, and saw—

It was a huge wooden pile, like a rock wall... almost occupying their entire line of sight.

It took up almost all of McGuffin's basketball court-sized space.

The wooden piles like a large shopping mall are covered with various vines, sparse creeper-type plants... There are even trees leaning, crooked and directly growing on the side, stretching their own branches and leaves,
Not only the top, even the sides are lush green, some birds, night owls, lizards, snakes and insects have nested on it... and on the side wall of the tree stump facing the MacGuffin, there are still small streams of water, like miniature waterfalls...

Swish!

It flows to the underground edge of the wall of the wooden pile and converges into a small river.

McGuffin knew... Although he didn't see what the top of the wooden pile looked like, it has undoubtedly become a new life park under the good fortune of nature.

And around this huge tree stump...the debris left by erecting more giant plants is more magnificent and magical than what they have experienced along the way just now.

It is a ruin, a wreck, the last vestige of a magical wonder... turned into a spectacle of desolate splendor by the ingenuity of nature.

The wooden pile like a small mountain rock wall is covered with traces of the battle at that time, and there are broken jagged pieces of wood everywhere... McGuffin felt the majestic vitality of this thing back then... that dangerous sense of lethality and power.

Although it seems that the Ministry of Magic has tried its best to bring some of the wreckage to study, but what is left is enough for McGuffin to get a glimpse of the critical situation.

No wonder Voldemort's [Notebook Horcrux] thought he could conquer the world with these giant magical plants.

"Okay, time is running out, after I get rid of the [Blood Curse], I can let Hagrid take a good look at this place for you..." Dumbledore urged a little ahead.

After McGuffin came back to his senses, he realized that he had been left behind by the three professors.

"Oh...oh!" McGuffin agreed twice, and quickly followed Dumbledore and the others in two steps.

Then, MacGuffin, Snape, and Dumbledore came here under the leadership of Hagrid, which is the most central position of the tree stump.

In front of several people stood an underground passage that slanted downward.

They passed through the side of the giant wooden pile...a corridor was broken there, like an alley...or like the man-made line of sky spots in various scenic spots in McGuffin's previous life. (This is just a description, in fact, this aisle is very wide, even if Hagrid is sideways, he can pass through)

"Well, it's here. It's in the middle... It leads directly to the ground, and it's connected to a dark pit, inside which are densely packed caves and tunnels, which should meet your requirements, Professor Dumbledore... No intelligent magical creature in the Forbidden Forest wants to come near this place."

Hagrid was a little sad as he spoke, "Poor Aragog, most of its population was killed by that giant plant..."

The remains of the eight-eyed spider that he saw on the road just now appeared in McGuffin's mind, and his heart trembled a little.

'Why didn't the shocking change kill all these terrible things? '

Of course, MacGuffin dared not say that to Hegemyn.

Snape, who had been silent all this time, looked at the wooden walls covered with moss and weeds on both sides... and the dark and deep passage in front of him. He said coldly, "Time is running out, Dumbledore... After the blood moon is missed, the ceremony cannot proceed. I don't want to waste time here..."

"Oh, well, Hagrid, you stay here and don't let anyone bother us."

"Albert, come with the two of us..." As he said, Dumbledore waved his wand again, the fluorescent spell lit up, and he walked in the front.

Snape entered the tunnel second, with McGuffin last.

It's a slope,
Under the illumination of the [Fluorescent Curse], McGuffin saw that there were layers of thick tree roots under his feet, and they were densely accumulated on each other. These things actually formed a step-by-step wooden ladder.

As McGuffin entered the tunnel, he felt almost as if he had stepped into the belly of a beast.

That deep and dark sense of oppression is everywhere, and it keeps coming along with the narrower and narrower corridors, squeezing his mind.

This made McGuffin's heart start beating rapidly and irregularly.

The breathing of the three of them was heavy, very clear in the darkness... intertwined with each other.

McGuffin's body instinctively followed the dark figure in front of him. Under his nervousness, he couldn't help calling the system in his heart. He wanted to see the task about the [Blood Curse] when the matter came up——

McGuffin looked at the system, and all kinds of entry information that he hadn't noticed immediately jumped out of it.

This made him a little busy (there were some thankless tasks that McGuffin gave up automatically... This also made him often ignore the information in the system, and McGuffin would only check it when he needed it), but he quickly noticed one of the entries...

It disturbed the MacGuffin very much.

([Blood Curse]—has been activated by the source curse wizard, if they meet again, an irreversible snake-like change will occur.)
What does that mean, doesn't it?Voldemort he...

McGuffin had a bad feeling in his heart, which made him firmer in his idea of ​​quickly lifting the [Blood Curse] on himself.

Soon, the three of them circled around and gradually stepped into a real cave tunnel from the wooden stairs.
