Chapter 277 Elf, Unicorn
Under Professor McGonagall's nagging, the final step was to sing the Hogwarts school song.
The school song has no melody, you can choose your own favorite rhythm to sing it.
This was inherited from the former headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and Professor Slughorn in the middle once thought it was a very awkward and torturous thing.
Therefore, this link was eliminated during Professor Slughorn's teaching.
But Professor McGonagall resumed.
This conversation allowed Hogwarts students to receive a group of new people and two new professors.
Students never lack for a dorm room conversation.
Stella returned to Gryffindor Tower under the leadership of her prefects.
Lying on the comfortable bed, his roommate Lewis couldn't restrain his chatter.
"You said Professor Xavier was not poisoned by Snape?"
"I heard that he has applied unsuccessfully for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position for twenty years in a row."
Everyone in the wizarding world knows how dedicated Professor Severus Snape is to that position at Hogwarts.
Stella was convinced, "But his plan failed again. The new Professor Howlett seems not to be trifled with."
"I think he's very stylish," Lewis said. "He's like an adventurer with a lot of stories, which is really enviable."
There was a discussion in the dormitory about the new professor.
Professor Howlett was wearing a dark green suit jacket, with curly hair and newly shaved green stubble, all looking so stylish.
The boys all agreed that Professor Howlett was very capable.
But the girls think Professor Wick is better.
These two types of professors are completely different types.
Professor Wick is a young man from a noble family, and Howlett is a nobleman who worked his way up to join the class.
The completely different temperaments also polarize the two.
The specific situation depends on your performance in class.
After the idiot Lockhart was born, Hogwarts now uses teaching ability as the basis for assessment.
"Wick?" Stella was lying on the bed, and not far away was the sound of Lewis snoring as he slept.
He slept close to the window. As long as he turned his head slightly, he could see the night sky outside.
After the rain stopped, the sky was particularly clear, and twinkling stars could be seen.
Stella's eyelids became heavier and heavier until they closed, making a gentle breathing sound.
...
John appears in the Forbidden Forest, a vast place.
Connected to the outside.
Except for Hagrid, a half-giant with primitive blood, even powerful Aurors may get lost and run into danger here.
This is not the first time John has come here to visit.
There is a rough house made of wood and stone in the Forbidden Forest.
Inside lives the new gamekeeper, Grawp.
That is also the limit that students can enter. Further inside, there are places where dangerous creatures and wizards may appear.
In Hagrid's hut.
Hagrid was boiling water, adjusting the golden flames in the fireplace with tongs.
Make sure the kettle cannot be burned by the flames.
There is no need to add wood, and the house will be warm.
Taking out the signature rock cake, Hagrid brewed a cup of black tea for John and said, "The student who entered was named Stephens Diggory. That day he somehow bypassed Grawp and reached the depths of the Forbidden Forest."
"Digory?" John asked unexpectedly, "Cedric's child?"
"Yes," Hagrid said with emotion, "He is a Hufflepuff just like his father, but he is very smart, which he also takes after his parents."
"I remember Cedric used to be..."
Seeing that Hagrid was about to go off topic, John quickly brought him back on track, "Tell us about the ghosts in the Forbidden Forest."
"Huh? Oh, I almost forgot." Hagrid scratched his head, "You need to ask the child for details. Grawp and I found him near the Forbidden Forest."
"He was so scared at that time, he was talking about skeleton horses and red knights."
"Ms. Pomfrey asked him to have a good rest. He was also in the school hospital during the sorting ceremony."
Stephens chose to continue studying alchemy in school this year because his arrogant parents left him alone.
It was also because of this that he had the opportunity to run behind the Forbidden Forest.
John drank the black tea after hearing this, and rubbed the handle of the ceramic cup with his fingers.
"Don't let students in during this period," John raised his eyes and said, "I will ask the centaurs to help."
"That's great John, I've also approached them, but they don't like to interfere with wizards' affairs." Hagrid muttered, "Even Featheron can't do anything about it."
John sneered, "If they continue to maintain their original arrogance, then the life of the centaurs will only get worse."
The centaurs live in the Forbidden Forest.
John has never been very fond of centaurs. They have bad tempers and always like to talk about things through divination and their rules.
While at school, John had conflicts with them.
However, the centaurs are more familiar with the Forbidden Forest than Hagrid.
Living there all year round, the centaurs have already become a dangerous part of the Forbidden Forest.
But in front of the Witch King, they had no choice.
John didn't mind having these guys banished like giants.
John first has to go to the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid led the way.
He was fully armed except for the armor he had in the hut.
John didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm here, Hagrid."
"Don't worry, John," Hagrid raised the crossbow and vowed, "I will protect your safety."
That's not what John meant.
He just wanted to say that even if he, the Witch King, had to run for his life, Hagrid would be no match for him.
But seeing Hagrid's serious look, John was still very moved.
The two set out for the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid also woke up Grawp who was sleeping on the road.
John saw with his own eyes that Hagrid hit Grawp on the head with a thigh-thick wooden stick.
As expected, the half-brother is willing to take action.
Hagrid forced a wave of "Grawop is not sleeping yet", which made Grawp frown.
He scratched his head, as if checking to see if someone had hit him.
Hagrid warned: "John and I are going to enter the Forbidden Forest. Don't let anyone come over during this period."
"About." Graup's eyes lit up when he saw John. He stretched out his hand and was about to bring it in front of him, but he stopped when he thought of something.
He put his hand on his chest awkwardly, saluted awkwardly, and said with a stumbling voice: "The Witch...King...is...on..."
John returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Hello, Graup."
This pleased Grawp, who sat there grinning.
Handing over the guarding work to Graup, the two officially entered the Forbidden Forest.
There is not a single man-made road in the Forbidden Forest, but there are places where you can see grass being pushed down.
That was a path Hagrid often took.
John heads to where Hagrid found Stephens.
Beyond there is a lake.
"This is where the unicorns from the neighborhood sometimes come to drink water."
Hagrid pointed to the foot of a tree and said, "Stephens was lying there. He fainted from shock."
John walked over and stared there for a while.
His pupils shrank until they were clear, he squatted down, picked up a piece of grass, and said, "There is something on him."
"What?" Hagrid asked in confusion.
John's eyes were deep, "Something that followed him into the school."
"but……"
John looked towards the direction of the lake, "Those traces have been eliminated."
Beside the quiet lake shore, a unicorn stood there quietly with light shining on its body.
On the unicorn's neck, there is an exquisite and beautiful golden necklace.
When John saw the unicorn, he knew who had eliminated the thing that was following Stephens back to school.
Divine beautiful unicorn.
John walked over slowly and stopped in front of the unicorn.
He reached out and stroked the unicorn's mane gently, whispering her name in the unicorn's ear.
"Wei Wei, thank you for your help."
Unicorn Weiwei, the princess of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
Wei Wei touched John with her horn, and a clear female voice sounded, "That thing is very scary, with a skeleton and armor."
"I saw them searching for unicorns everywhere." Wei Wei said, "It was this boy who lured one away for me."
"Searching for unicorns?" John mused.
The blood of unicorns is a curse that cures diseases. Voldemort once asked Quirrell, John's first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, to take it.
A unicorn killed by force, her blood full of curses.
Are those guys here just for the blood?
