HP in the name of Slytherin

When Catherine and Dumbledore rushed to the location where Halbo sent the signal, they knew that the problem was not simple. The place where the little basilisk had reported to Catherine was outside the Forbidden Forest. At this time, all the creatures in the Forbidden Forest went to hibernate in the depths. Rarely do activities on the outskirts, let alone the Forbidden Forest within Hogwarts.

Haierbo couldn't explain the situation clearly. He only said that Tom was kidnapped by something in vain. The little wizard was afraid that something would happen and he went after him. The other two children were still at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

It was eating at Regulus' place and didn't notice anything unusual at all.

The contract between Catherine and Tom told her that at least Tom's life was not in danger yet. On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, she found the enlarged Halbo and the two children protected by it.

"Professor Dumbledore!"

"Miss Slytherin!"

Catherine and Dumbledore looked at each other and took over Halbo, who had returned with a slumped head and a shrunken brain.

Dumbledore said to the two children: "Children, please let Fawkes take you back to my office first, okay? Professor McGonagall will go over to accompany you later."

The two children knew how powerful they were, because in their opinion, Tom and Severus, who were already very powerful, were powerless to fight back. If it weren't for the fear that something would happen to them, Haierbo would have chased after them.

"Will Tom be okay, Professor?" Little Barty summoned up the courage to ask, "And Severus, he just chased us in."

Dumbledore said kindly: "Of course, we will bring them back as soon as possible."

Little Barty and Regulus went to see Catherine again, and when they saw both of them nodding, they grabbed Fox's paw with worried faces.

The two people on the front legs disappeared, and Halbo on the back leg started to cry: [I'm sorry, Master, Halbo didn't keep an eye on the two little wizards! 】

[Don't cry, don't cry, you did a good job, remember to remind me, and remember to protect them both. 】Catherine touched Haierbo's head.

For this little basilisk whose intelligence is naturally impaired, it is really remarkable that it can remember these two things. What kind of combat power do you expect it to really have? Unless it becomes the maximum state, it will be reckless.

Looking at the swaying woods outside the Forbidden Forest, Catherine guessed that Halpo had already done this: [Did Halpo do that? 】

With tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, Haierbo said with sobs: [Helbo wanted to stop that white thing, but it was too fast. 】

So the earth-shattering noise that Dumbledore and Catherine heard at the beginning should be the shock caused by the enlarged Halbo attacking the unknown creature with its tail, but hitting the protective magic of the Forbidden Forest and bouncing off the giant tree?

Dumbledore observed for a while and gave a positive answer: "There are traces of the protective magic being activated. It should be done by Haierbo."

"Since we are defending against Haierbo, that white thing is okay, does that mean it is from the Forbidden Forest?" Catherine asked Dumbledore while moving quickly into the forest.

Dumbledore looked ahead, thought for a moment and then said: "Not necessarily. If Haierbo becomes too big and attempts to attack the Forbidden Forest, the Forbidden Forest will determine it to be a dangerous intruder and activate the protective spell."

"At least it means that the things that were taken away from Tom were not an attack on the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden Forest doesn't think it is dangerous?" Otherwise, it should be rebounded like Haierbo.

"really."

The two ran out for almost two hundred meters when they suddenly stopped and looked up. They saw a young wizard wearing a black wizard robe standing on a tree branch more than 20 meters high, trying to reduce his presence.

"Severus?" Catherine almost didn't notice him.

"Miss Catherine!" Severus looked down and saw her and Dumbledore, and immediately jumped down.

Dumbledore raised his wand, then put it down again the next second, "He has actually mastered the silent levitation spell."

"Severus's talent for magic is probably as good as Tom's in some respects," Catherine said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said happily: "What you said is not as good as Tom or Voldemort, is that he is not so obsessed with forbidden black magic?"

"He is a good boy," Catherine said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stroked his beard with a smile, "I'm old and can't bear the second one."

Severus floated slowly. He also adjusted a simple levitating spell and landed safely on the ground a few seconds later.

"You are so brave, why did you just run in?" Catherine stepped forward and looked at him up and down. "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm afraid that Tom was taken away by something dangerous...cough..." Severus pursed his lips in embarrassment, "After chasing for a while, I found that I was impulsive, and there was no way to contact you and Deng inside. Professor Blido, so I used some magic to track them, and I will wait for you here."

It was quite frank, but when he blurred out the "dangerous things" at first, the first thing that popped into his mind was probably Voldemort himself.

Dumbledore also became a little serious, "You are indeed very bold, Mr. Severus. You must know that the object of your suspicion is one of the most dangerous dark wizards currently."

If it was really Voldemort, Severus would probably die if he found him.

"Probably not, it looks a bit like a ghost...animal?" Severus explained in a low voice, "It doesn't look like a human being."

He also discovered this and continued to chase. Unfortunately, when he got here, he found that he could not contact Catherine at all. It seemed that he was disturbed by something. It was very similar to the situation where Catherine lost contact a few days ago. So he could only stop to avoid giving Catherine any trouble. Keep causing trouble.

It is unrealistic to send Severus back now. This place is already outside the Forbidden Forest. If he encounters something strange again - the ghost animal he just mentioned, Dumbledore has never heard of it.

Instead of worrying about saving this one and that one being in danger later, it is better to go with them and go back together when the time comes.

Seeing that Severus was a little cautious, Catherine smiled and patted him, "You are still quite cautious, Mr. Severus. It would be better to be more cautious next time."

Severus nodded obediently and glanced at Dumbledore, who was very serious just now, and found that the old professor had also lost his previous coldness and smiled at him rather gently.

He summoned up some courage and said to the two of them: "I used a little magic on Tom. I can probably track him."

Catherine had wanted to ask just now, but when she heard what he said, she immediately understood: "Did you invent it when you were playing with Haierbo?"

"Yeah!" Severus pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, "I can still sense it now. It should be about 3 miles away from here. The speed of movement has slowed down... I can't sense it any further away."

"Then let's go quickly," Dumbledore raised his hand, and Fawkes, who had flown back from nowhere, landed on his wrist. "Mr. Severus, could you please tell me which direction it is?"

Severus imitated Catherine's movements and grabbed Dumbledore's other wrist, pointing to the front right, "There, about 3.1 miles."

Although he said it was rough, Severus actually calculated the distance very accurately. He invented this tracking spell by combining it with Catherine's old magic notes when he was playing with Herbo.

The start-up time was a bit long, which was why Severus found that he couldn't contact Catherine and still walked a short distance into the Forbidden Forest. The distance could not exceed 4 miles, otherwise he would lose the trace completely.

As soon as Fox's Apparition ended, the three of them heard a hoarse voice roaring loudly: "Kill him! He is Voldemort! He is Voldemort as a child!"

"Calm down, Sirius..."
