Readers at Hogwarts

Chapter 39 Tracking

When the black shadow appeared, the unicorn that was lying on the ground suddenly stood up and screamed at the black shadow. It was obvious that this black shadow was the murderer who had hurt the unicorn before.When Ryan and others looked at the black shadow, the shadow once again let out an intoxicating laugh and gradually approached Ryan.

Along with the black shadow came the overwhelming black magic power fluctuations that were like ink.Ryan felt like he was in the deep sea, and the surging pressure hit Ryan. Even now, Ryan still felt a sense of weakness, and even his limbs were somewhat unable to move.

"Are all Hogwarts students so bold now?" A hoarse voice came from the black shadow's mouth, "Or Dumbledore has allowed you little wizards to enter the Forbidden Forest at night, ha."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive, don't you think so, Mr. Black Shadow." Ryan replied forcefully and calmly.

"Ha, interesting," Heiying looked surprised that Ryan could answer his question under his own pressure, "What a smart little wizard, haha."

When Ryan was secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he found that the black shadow in front of him was raising the wand in his hand. He immediately became vigilant and carefully stood in front of Hermione, standing ready.

But at this moment, Catherine, who had been staying aside before, suddenly rushed forward. Before Ryan could stop him, a disarming spell was shot directly from Catherine's wand to the black shadow, and the light hit the black shadow directly.Catherine turned back disdainfully, "Huh, it's not that powerful. I still got hit."

Ryan had no intention of relaxing. Ryan knew that with Catherine's ability, this disarming spell would be in vain.Sure enough, after the black shadow was hit, there was no situation where the disarming spell should have appeared, and the wand was still firmly held in his hand.

"How could that happen?" Catherine looked at the shadow in confusion, wondering why the disarming spell didn't work.

"Pay attention to the bushes in front of him," Ryan said solemnly. "Before your disarming spell attacked him, he used the transformation spell and the floating spell before you, and programmed the bushes beside him to be thin enough to block them. A shield the size of your Disarming Charm is in front of you."

"No way, his reaction is so fast?" Catherine looked at the calm black figure in shock and said in disbelief.

Ryan just shook his head and did not answer Catherine's question. After all, now was not the time to be distracted.Just when Ryan was about to strike first, a dog barking came from behind.

"It's Fang's voice," Harry shouted in surprise, "It's Hagrid's Fang."

When he heard that it was Hagrid's fang, the dark figure in front of Ryan paused, and the tidal pressure also produced a slight fluctuation.

"Hey, Harry, are you here?" Hagrid's loud voice was obviously the last straw that broke the camel's back. After hearing Hagrid's voice, the black shadow no longer hesitated and turned around decisively to push away the bushes. He left, ignoring Ryan and others who were standing there.

"Hermione, you go back with Hagrid first, and I'll follow you and take a look." Ryan whispered in Hermione's ear.

"No, it's too dangerous." Hermione stared, disagreeing with Ryan's idea.

"You know, I'm an Animagus, the kind that can fly. As long as I'm careful, he won't find me. Don't worry." Ryan held Hermione's hand and said softly, "I Don’t worry about such dangerous people wandering around us, don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Seeing that she couldn't stop Ryan, Hermione reluctantly agreed to Ryan's idea.Seeing this, Ryan no longer hesitated. While everyone's attention was attracted by Hagrid, he decisively chased after the black shadow along the previous escape route. Hermione just looked at Ryan's back worriedly.

Ryan followed the trail of the black shadow to a place where others could no longer see it. He immediately turned into his Animagus form. A vigorous eagle appeared on the spot. Ryan flapped his wings and flew directly to the place. Over the Forbidden Forest, he continued to fly in the direction where the black shadow had fled.

After a while, the black shadow from before appeared in Ryan's field of vision. Under Ryan, the black shadow was carefully covering up his traces. Suddenly, the black shadow stopped his movements and looked behind him. , Ryan followed the shadow and discovered a scarecrow standing there.

"Wait a minute, Scarecrow," Ryan thought in surprise, "it can't be the Bubak from before."

As the scarecrow jumped forward, a familiar skull appeared in Ryan's eyes. It was indeed the bubak who attacked Ryan and others before. Bubak stopped not far in front of the black shadow, and the two seemed to be sizing each other up.

"I didn't expect that besides the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, there are actually bubaks." The shadow said with emotion, "Isn't your race extinct long ago?"

The scarecrow didn't speak, and Ryan didn't know whether it was because the scarecrow couldn't speak or because he simply didn't want to answer the shadow's question.When the Scarecrow didn't answer, the shadow wasn't angry and continued: "You can't come here to form an alliance with me, right?"

Although it was a question, Black Shadow's tone sounded determined.The result was not what Heiying expected, and the Scarecrow really nodded, confirming that he was here to form an alliance.

"I'm quite curious about how your clan survived." Black Shadow looked at the scarecrow curiously. "You know, the book records the tragic war that year. The overwhelming power is really amazing. Amazing."

The scarecrow didn't say a word, just stared at the shadow silently, indifferent to the shadow's verbal provocation. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of the power of the shadow and did not dare to reveal too much information.

When Ryan was about to get closer to listen carefully to the two people's plans, the black shadow suddenly waved his wand, and a thin light curtain enveloped the black shadow and the scarecrow. Seeing this, Ryan stopped moving forward. So as not to alert the enemy.

Ryan glanced at the two of them one last time, then turned around and flew in the direction of Hogwarts without hesitation.After a while, Hagrid's hut came into view. Ryan landed early, changed back, straightened his clothes, and walked towards Hagrid's hut.

Outside Hagrid's hut, Hermione was walking around anxiously, her eyes always focused on the Forbidden Forest not far away.When Ryan appeared, Hermione trotted up excitedly and hugged Ryan who was about to speak.

Ryan felt the girl's trembling body in his arms, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He stopped talking and let Hermione hold him.
