Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Sometimes, holding too tightly is not a good thing.

Stephen seemed to hear something, and he called Hagrid.

"It sounds like the cry of a spider, a big spider." Hagrid stopped for a while to distinguish it. "It may be in some danger. We have to go and take a look."

"Follow up, little guys." Hagrid suddenly accelerated. Stephen tried to stop him, but Hagrid ignored him and speeded towards the depths.

Stephen had no choice but to speed up after him, but Merula, who was held by his hand, did not react. She was too tired. Merula was no stronger than Stephen, so he was knocked down by him after suddenly accelerating.

"Oh" Merula fell to the ground, and Stephen stumbled because of Merula's fall, and staggered for a few steps before he stood still.

"What are you doing?" Merula tried to stand up, but failed. "My legs hurt so much."

"Sorry, I didn't notice your condition." Stephen put the lantern in his hand close to Merula's leg, "It's not hurt."

"Go away." Merula pushed Stephen away, "Give me the lantern, I'm worried that you will murder me."

Stephen nodded slightly. His action just now was indeed inappropriate. He handed the lantern to Merula and turned around to check the surrounding situation.

"We have to be careful. One of those cute little guys Hagrid mentioned can easily kill us." He used the light of his wand to shine around, "We have two choices. Wait for Hagrid now, or try to go back the way we came. I think we should wait here. Hagrid will find us missing later and will come back to look for us."

"My leg is hurt because of your stupidity, I have to wait in this damn place for the keykeeper," Merula complained.

"I'm very sorry, I just wanted to follow Hagrid." Stephen took out the Tang Dao from the bag he carried with him, holding the knife in his right hand and the cane in his left hand. Facing magical animals that may have high magic resistance, cold weapons may be more effective.

"Wound healing" Stephen pointed the wand at Merula's leg, but it had no effect, "Well, I guess I don't know this spell yet."

"Idiot." Merula snorted coldly, "Didn't you bring any fresh food?"

"Who knew something like this would happen today?" Stephen remembered that the bag containing potion ingredients seemed to be placed in the dormitory. "You should know some offensive spells."

"I know a lot more than you do."

The two waited for a while, but Hagrid still didn't come back and didn't hear his voice. Stephen suddenly had an unpleasant feeling. He felt that there seemed to be some danger approaching.

"I think we need to get out of here, I have a very bad feeling." Stephen frowned and turned to Merula.

"I agree with you this time. But my legs"

Stephen walked over and put down the knife. He squatted down, motioned Merula to lie on his back, and then walked back along the path he had taken before.

"I seemed to hear something approaching in the surrounding trees." Merula lay on Stephen's back and listened to the surrounding movements. She suddenly saw a pair of green eyes, "I think Merlin's socks are wolves." .”

"Merlin can't protect us now. I've tried my best to walk as fast as possible. Pay attention to your surroundings, our lives depend on you." Stephen walked in the direction he came from, panting.

"The enemy who retreated three feet and fell unconscious were all turned to stone." Merula cast magic spells in the direction of the sound, but none of them hit it. "Damn it, it moved too fast."

"You have to anticipate."

"What you said is easy. Its movements are chaotic and disorderly. How can I predict it?" Merula glanced back and said, "Back off the enemy within three feet."

The sound was getting closer and closer, which made Stephen and Merula feel very nervous. After a few seconds, they finally could see what was chasing them. It was indeed a wolf, and it seemed to be a hungry wolf.

The wolf was wandering not far away from them, as if looking for an opportunity to attack. Stephen quickly put Merula down, holding the wand in his right hand, and the two looked nervously at the wolf opposite them.

"I'm the main attack, you stop it." Merula took action first, "Retreat the enemy three feet."

The wolf nimbly avoided her attack, dodging while running towards them. It seemed to be starving and its patience was very limited.

"There are many obstacles." Stephen tried to use this spell to block it, but he was very unskilled and the wolf quickly avoided the small obstacles he created. "We have to fight and retreat at the same time. Can your legs work?"

"I can persist." Merula cast another spell, but still missed.

"There are many obstacles." Stephen picked the moment when the wolf took off and gave it a try. This time it was successful.

"Retreat the enemy three feet" Merula seized this opportunity and knocked the wolf away. She quickly added "Quickly Confinement".

"Seriously, you are very good at using these spells." Stephen admired sincerely, "And what exactly is retreating three feet from the enemy?"

"I know a lot more than you, and I'm much better than you." Merula still said in a mocking tone, "A repelling spell, one of my family's inheritances."

"You have the final say." Stephen felt that Merula thought he was better than him, so let her think so. He had no intention of being competitive. "We have to hurry, the effect of your spell may not be able to sustain too long." Long."

They carried Merula on their backs again and used the knife in their hands to cut off the branches blocking the road. They walked like this for nearly ten minutes when they heard the howling of the wolf just now.

"Damn, why so fast?" Merula complained.

"I think we may have to meet Merlin this time." Stephen saw the creature appearing in front of him, and it really fulfilled the old saying that good fortune never comes singly, and misfortune never comes alone.

"What is that?" Merula lowered her voice, fearing that she would disturb the creature.

"It's too dark to see clearly, but from the rough outline, I think it should be a Hippogriff. Maybe we are not unlucky and did not encounter a more dangerous animal." Stephen observed carefully , gave the answer that I felt was the most accurate.

"Shut your crow mouth, what should we do now?"

"Come down and do what I do later." Stephen put Merula down and helped her walk towards the hippogriff. It looked very young and should be a young hippogriff. Winged beast.

Stephen bowed to it, and Merula followed him and bowed to the hippogriff, but the hippogriff just glanced at them and had no intention of returning the bow.

"now what"

"Follow me and don't talk nonsense."

Stephen repeated the bowing action again, this time bending deeper, and so did Merula. She swore she had never done something so stupid in her opinion, it was not at all in line with her style.

The Hippogriff reluctantly returned the salute to them, and Stephen stepped forward to touch it.

"Can we go directly now?" Merula asked softly.

"No need to leave, we have it." Stephen smiled and pointed at the hippogriff, "touch it gently and be gentle, it doesn't like rude people."

The two rode on the hippogriff, and it carried them out of the Forbidden Forest.
