I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

Chapter 118 Forbidden Forest Patrol

After Hagrid was sent away from the principal's office, Professor McGonagall still did not leave.

Dumbledore knew what McGonagall was going to say.

"Hagrid's behavior has posed a threat to Hogwarts, and the position of the Forbidden Forest Warden..." McGonagall hesitated.

"He has nowhere else to go but Hogwarts, Minerva." Dumbledore lowered his eyes and looked at his snow-white beard.

"Of course I know this, but you should let him know what he cannot do. If...I mean if any student secretly goes to the Forbidden Forest and encounters those group of Acromantulas, what will happen to him? ? Are you willing to believe what Hagrid says? Acromantulas will not harm the students of Hogwarts! But those are Acromantulas, the most dangerous creatures that will not restrain themselves!"

Dumbledore silently accepted McGonagall's accusations.

"I don't even dare to think about how long it would have taken if the basilisk hadn't appeared and killed these spiders! They had already spawned a large group of spiders. If they were not stopped, there would be One day..." Mag took a deep breath and showed a look of fear. "The entire Forbidden Forest will be crawling with Acromantulas."

"I know you're worried, Minerva, and I understand it."

Dumbledore showed a reassuring smile, and under McGonagall's disapproving look, explained: "The basilisk is also the founder's way of deterring the creatures in the Forbidden Forest. It is also the guardian of the Forbidden Forest. Therefore, after discovering the Forbidden Forest, Lin suddenly left Hogwarts only after a group of Acromantulas that shouldn't have appeared."

McGonagall frowned: "Albus, you mean, the Basilisk is an Acromantula deliberately attacking?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "It was because of its duty to eliminate the Acromantula, because it was not a creature that should exist in the Forbidden Forest."

"But that's not what you said to Hagrid just now."

Dumbledore smiled bitterly: "If I say this, how will Hagrid view this basilisk in Hogwarts? I might as well let him think that the basilisk attacks his spiders just because of its predatory instinct. That will still work." Nature’s own law of the jungle comforts him.”

Mag opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"After all, it was left by the founder. The Basilisk attacks the Acromantula. It is its duty and what it must do. It is not wrong. It should not bear the hatred of other employees of Hogwarts. Hagrid can accept me. He made that false statement, but it was hard for him to accept that Haierbo had eliminated all the Acromantulas because of his duty.”

"Besides..." Dumbledore lowered his eyes, not knowing how to express the secret worries in his heart.

McGonagall could understand Dumbledore's thoughts. Although Hagrid loved magical creatures, as a scholar who studies biology, he would naturally accept the fighting of various creatures in nature to survive, because this is the instinct of creatures. It is a rule that living things must abide by.

Human beings have no right to interfere.

But if it was because of the killing wars carried out by humans under the influence from behind, then Hagrid would never forgive it.

It is reasonable for wolves in the wild to hunt antelopes.

If hunting dogs raised by humans go to hunt sheep that are kept in captivity by others, that is an act of infringement on other people's property.

Hagrid can tolerate the former, but will never forgive the latter.

As for Dumbledore, as the principal of Hogwarts, during this accident, he could only defend Halbo, because Halbo was an asset of Hogwarts, and because of Halbo's behavior, It's to maintain the safety of Hogwarts.

It can even be said that Halper is also an employee of Hogwarts. As the principal of Hogwarts, he has to protect his employees.

Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall to go out and tell the students not to go to the Forbidden Forest recently.

"You also know the accident that happened last time, the student who was killed by the basilisk. This means that although the basilisk may not intentionally attack students as the Sorting Hat said, it still poses a threat to students." Dumbledore Lido's tone was heavy. "We can't control the basilisk, so we have to control the students."

"But you also know that those students may not be so obedient." McGonagall felt dizzy when she thought about how rebellious the students at Hogwarts, especially the Gryffindor students, were. "If you suddenly say you are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest, it may have the opposite effect and arouse their curiosity."

Dumbledore looked ugly.

"Can you think of a way to let the basilisk return to the secret room?" This was the safest way that Professor McGonagall felt.

Dumbledore shook his head: "The basilisk only listens to Parseltongue."

And now, the most famous Parselmouth in the wizarding world, and the only one who appears in front of everyone, is Voldemort.

Mag showed a desperate expression.

"Inform other professors that there is danger in the Forbidden Forest. Let everyone work hard for a while. Until the Basilisk returns to the secret room, everyone will take turns patrolling the Forbidden Forest to prevent students from entering the Forbidden Forest!"
