Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 405 Followers

   "Ron!"

   "Ron Weasley! Did you hear that?"

   "Ron!"

  Calling sounds echoed in the quiet forbidden forest, and Hagrid, the half-giant, walked in front with a crossbow, and behind him was Arthur Weasley, Hermione, Simon Finnigan, and Rolf and Luna.

  The winter in Scotland is longer than that in England. There is no sign of melting snow. The orange halo of the hand lamp makes this cold forest warm.

   "It's not a good idea to start calling people now." Hagrid murmured to stop everyone, "We have entered the horseman's territory."

   "How about that?" Simon was not sure, so he asked back.

   "How to say, their territorial consciousness is very strong." Hagrid tried to express his meaning in euphemisms.

  "They hate humans." Hermione said directly, "The horsemen in the Forbidden Forest think that the entire Forbidden Forest belongs to them, but the Ministry of Magic has designated a special living area and only allows them to live within that range."

"The Ministry of Magic has a horseman liaison office, but the horseman has never used it. There is a joke inside the Ministry. Being sent to the horseman liaison office means that he will be expelled." Arthur tried to enliven the atmosphere, but no one Want to laugh.

"The good news is that they will not take the initiative to attack people in front of young people, and they do not harm young people as much as possible." Rolf said, "They refuse to wear clothes, but they do not reject jewelry, so whoever really They are in a hurry and can try to give them gifts."

   "Is that so?" Arthur yelled to Rolf in surprise.

  "This is how I met Luna." Rolf took Luna's hand and said, "She met a horse kid and tried to get close to him, but was almost attacked."

   "I just want to be friendly." Luna shrugged and looked indifferent. "They are so nervous."

"The horse community generally contains ten to fifty horsemen. The cubs are not owned by their parents, but collectively. Every horseman has the obligation to protect and take care of the cubs. When the cubs are in danger, At that time, adult horses have the obligation to come forward. Although they are voluntarily classified as beasts, it does not mean that they really regard themselves as beasts. You can't pet their children like petting animals." Rolf took a lesson. The tone said to Luna, "I heard that there is a horseman at Hogwarts who teaches divination?"

   "Yes, his name is Firenze." Hermione said.

  "This is really rare. I rarely hear that horsemen take the initiative to approach humans." Rolf said, "They think it's a shame."

   "What?" Seamus yelled incredulously.

"It's funny, isn't it?" Rolf said with a smile. "The Ministry of Magic considers horsemen to be magical creatures with intelligence close to humans. Horsemen think that humans don't understand the true'wisdom' at all. My grandfather thinks they still Living in Olympus, the mythical Sagittarius is named after their image. They are not a cross between a horse and a horse, but another species. They are very smart, not only good at divination, archery and astronomy, but they are also very good at healing magic. , It’s just that they think they have to'accept the providence', so they don’t use it very often.

  Simo looked more confused.

   "I heard you used them to kidnap Umbridge, Hermione." Luna said slowly, "It's great that you are not injured."

  Hermione glared at Luna Lovegood.

   "Do you have any questions?" Hermione folded her hands across her chest, as if facing off.

   "What can I have a problem?" Luna asked with a smile with her big eyes that always seemed to be surprised.

   "If you want to say anything, just say it, why do you hide it like this!" Hermione said angrily.

  "It’s really not a good habit to use people like you and let others do things for you. I think the horsemen will be very angry. Maybe they will attack young people regardless of that taboo."

  "It's an underage young man, dear." Rolf explained to the side, Simon covered his mouth.

"If you're scared, you can go back, no one begging you to follow." In the middle of the night, the effect of the hair smoother disappeared and Hermione's hair became fluffy again, and her hair would dance every time she said a word. It's like a lion's mane.

   "I'm not scared." Luna stared at Hermione's eyes as if seeing her soul through them. "But I think someone is scared. Are you right? Hermione."

"Enough, children, my son is now alone in this forest full of monsters. Can we hurry up and find someone and stop wasting time on unnecessary things?" Arthur held Hermione's shoulders and forced Pulling her over, Luna briskly put her arm around Rolf, whispering in his ear, as if to show off her victory just now.

   "The horseman and Hagrid have broken, and Hermione has offended the horseman. It's nice." Simon Finnigan complained, then sighed and followed the team.

  The blonde Luna and the brown-haired Hermione have never stopped quarreling. The little argument that was not a conflict just now made the atmosphere of the search team more tense, and no one spoke anymore.

In the white mist, a person looks like a human figure drawn with a pencil. No matter how bright the clothes are, it lacks color. With the addition of white snow and black trees, walking in the forbidden forest is like a white purgatory. The same.

Sometimes they seem to hear a little sound, like the sound of a spider crawling over Xisuosuo, or the sound of dull horseshoes, or the sound of human footsteps, whether it is silence or other sounds. People feel happy.

  "Mr. Weasley, has Snape really duel with Sirius for a woman?" Simon asked suddenly.

  "What?" Not only Arthur, everyone was frightened by Simon's question.

   "You know, there are such rumors in the Order of the Phoenix..."

"There were also rumors that Sirius had betrayed the Potters." Arthur paused and said, "Young man, I don't think you should talk about joining the Order of the Phoenix. Now I don't want to discuss this issue. ."

   "This topic was the last discussion between Ron and I. I think you should know."

   "My son is still alive!" Arthur said angrily. He seemed to regret taking Simon out to find someone.

  "Ciris Black also likes Lily Potter?" Rolf was very interested in this topic.

   "I don't know, so I have to ask." Simon said helplessly, "But I think even if we continue to discuss the horse people, it is better than to continue discussing this topic."

  At this moment, Hagrid seemed to have discovered something. He raised his lantern and ran quickly. Arthur and Hermione followed closely. Their breathing was heavy, like the sound of wind whistling on the edge of a cliff.

   "Something fell here." Hagrid said, and found a bottle of whiskey that was not finished in the snowdrift. Then he took a lantern and took a picture around him and found a row of footprints on the snow.

   "I gave it to him." Rolf said.

   "Thank Merlin." Arthur seemed to have lost his strength, and could barely stand on Hermione's support.

"I don't want to make you sad, Arthur, but there are often werewolves in that area. There is a Muggle town outside the forest. They often go to the town to'poach'." Hagrid rusted the crossbow. The arrow was removed and replaced with a silver arrow that was shining green. "Sometimes Muggles will carry shotguns to the forest to poach. We are about to enter the war zone."

   "Shhh, did you hear it?" Luna raised her finger, "I think I heard the sound."

  Simon snorted, "There is a sound you can't hear."

  Rolf's gaze swept over.

   "I'm sorry." Simon whispered immediately.

   "Don't worry, Simon, I understand." Luna said magnanimously. "Our feelings sometimes deceive us. What we think exists does not exist at all."

   "Then do you still believe that Project Corruption exists?" Hermione asked coldly.

   "That is undoubtedly true." Luna looked at Hermione confidently and said, "Today I met someone who believed in me. She can communicate much better than you."

"Well, now that we have found his trail, we don't need magical beasts to help." Rolf patted his suitcase and looked back in the direction. "Let's walk for twenty minutes. What explosion is so powerful that it made him fall here?"

   "I saw the hoof prints." Luna said, pointing to the footprints on the ground.

   "Maybe it was left by the horses when they patrolled the chassis." Hagrid looked at the footprints suspiciously, "It may also be left by other animals."

   "Follow the footprints anyway, right." Arthur said, looking at Hagrid.

   "Yes, that's right." Hagrid shook his head at the others, "Come on."

  So a group of people chased a string of footprints and walked into the white fog.
