Hogwarts Archaeologist Toby

After learning the fact that the two met, Hermione and Ron began to retreat quietly in tacit understanding, but they were blocked by two small shovels thrown at them.

Toby clapped his hands up and down and said: "Then you should really go find Principal Dumbledore. He allowed me to stay in the Forbidden Forest for archeology. And I did find a lot of wealth in the process, although the inheritance of the missing person is not It’s a lot, but at least it proves that archeology in the Forbidden Forest is a good decision, and it can also help the school complete its student list and so on.”

Professor Highmore began to mention the students who disappeared in the Forbidden Forest again - Hermione and Ron thought sadly, always feeling that they might become one of them.

Ronan didn't speak, he turned his head to look at a scorched leaf, his eyes became more melancholy - it was caused by the Spark Curse just now, which scorched the leaf.

"It was just an accident." Toby said, "In my eyes, the Forbidden Forest is a wonderful archaeological site, so why would I have the heart to destroy it. Tonight was just a mistake made while teaching the students—"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Hermione and Ron: "I hope that the scare tonight will make you behave and be sensible in the future, and don't cause any more trouble."

The two nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you on patrol?" Toby asked Ronan, "Have you caught the murderer who killed the animals in the forest?"

Hermione and Ron immediately strained their ears—Professor Highmore's question was related to the reason they appeared in the Forbidden Forest, which was to bury the dead animals.

Ronan didn't answer right away.He stared upward without blinking, then sighed.

"It's always the innocent who suffer first," he said. "That's been the case for hundreds of years, and it's still the case now."

"Yes." Toby said perfunctorily: "Let me tell you, you centaurs have lived in the Forbidden Forest for so long, have you found any clues about the murderer?"

Ronan looked up at the starry sky: "Mars is very bright tonight."

Mars?Mars again?

Toby remembered that the tall House behind the Mason Gate mentioned Mars, when he said the exact words: "Mars is bright tonight. It will remain bright for the foreseeable future."

"Anything else?" Toby asked interestedly, trying to extract more clues from Ronan: "Anything else?"

Ronan seemed not to have heard what he said and just repeated: "Mars is very bright tonight, extremely bright."

After Toby asked again and again several times, Ronan said one more sentence: "There are many secrets hidden in the Forbidden Forest."

"Okay, okay." Toby knew the temperament of the centaurs well. They were the magical creatures that were least willing to contact wizards, let alone help wizards.

"As long as you are still patrolling, it will be fine. I don't want to be attacked for no reason one day while doing archeology."?

Toby asked the two of them to pick up the small shovels. They walked around the silent Ronan and were about to continue walking deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Ronan suddenly said: "Bain is also patrolling on the other side of the Forbidden Forest. .”

Toby glanced back at him without stopping.

The two people behind him exchanged glances with each other, and Ron bravely asked: "Professor, who is Bain?"

Toby stepped over a fallen tree trunk and said, "Bane is also a centaur, but he has a bad temper. According to Ronan, Al will probably meet him soon."

"This is not very good. We had some unpleasant troubles before. Bane's belief in guarding the Forbidden Forest is very firm, and he is also a little radical. He once said harsh words to Al-it's time to speed up, children, in case Al It would be bad to hit hard."

He looked back at the two of them with shocked faces.

"You certainly don't want to collect corpses for centaurs."

Hermione and Ron didn't know what to say at all, and they ran subconsciously - it seemed that in Professor Hemmer's consideration, Mr. Al would definitely not lose.

And Harry, couldn't he encounter something more terrifying than the devil's pursuit?

Unfortunately, their prayers failed to save Harry.

In the bushes on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, Harry and Malfoy were on their way exhaustedly. From time to time, Al would yell somewhere in front of him to let them know where to go, but he refused to let them rest .

Both of them knew this well. This was obviously Mr. Al's punishment for their previous attempt to fight, and they didn't dare to speak out to resist, lest they be hit on the head with a small shovel again, which would be uncomfortable.

The places where the three walked were dense bushes, which was nothing to Al, who was small in stature, but Harry and Malfoy had suffered enough, and they had given up using shovels to clear a path. , there is not much strength left in the whole body.

"ah!"

Harry heard Mr. Al's cry again. He stared at the fallen tree trunk in front of him with a frown. The only way to get over was to climb up.

Just as Harry hugged the tree trunk, he suddenly heard a "swish" sound, and a sharp arrow passed straight past his face and shot straight towards Al on the bushes in front.

"Snapped!"

Al picked up the small shovel and threw it in front of him, then swung it again and knocked the sharp arrow away, nailing it in front of Malfoy's eyes on the other side of the tree trunk.

"Ahhhh-!"

Malfoy cried out in horror.

Harry saw a centaur coming out of the woods on the right, dark-haired, dark-bodied, and looking a bit brutish.He was holding a curved bow and arrow in the opponent's hand, and it seemed that this was the person who attacked Mr. Al.

"ah!"

Al jumped on the flying carpet and shouted angrily at the opponent's sneak attack.

The centaur Bane looked even angrier than Al, he roared angrily: "This is not the place you should come, Xixiu, you are not allowed to take a step closer to our tribe!"

"ah!"

Al pointed in a direction to Malfoy and Harry, which seemed to indicate where they were going to go.Then it flew towards Bane aggressively, and took out a bunch of weird things from its belly pocket-screaming rag dolls, blood-stained table knives, candles shrouded in mist, and even a whole skull.

Al put the skull on his head, and the skull's mouth suddenly grinned up and down, making an intrusive clicking sound.

Bain drew his bow again and aimed his sharp arrow at the screaming rag doll, but it was also split open by the opponent with a blood-stained knife. The laughter it made was more terrifying than the skull.

Harry watched helplessly as Mr. Al started fighting with Bain. Malfoy had been frightened by the sharp arrows earlier and ran away screaming. Harry also quickly climbed over the tree trunk without looking back. ran away.

All this happened so fast that Harry had no time to think - what on earth was going on? Why did Mr. Al suddenly start a fight with the Centaur?

He was running wildly in the darkness, and had long since separated from Malfoy, and had strayed from his original direction.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the darkness, Harry subconsciously stopped, his eyes widened in horror——

A hooded figure flashed out of the shadows, crawling slowly on the ground like an approaching beast.

In the figure's hand was a dead fox, but he obviously found a more interesting prey than the fox——

He saw Harry and floated slowly towards him.
