Chapter 399

"Woo Hoo -"

The outer ring of the forbidden forest, which was still quiet and peaceful, was disturbed by a giant and became trembling.

Bursts of violent and angry animal roars came out from the forest. Many strong trees were knocked askew, and even the roots of Qiu knot were ruthlessly pulled out of the ground.

Three giant dogs, with their powerful body and tough and thick fur, make the threat of horses' feather arrows in vain.

Its three brain bags are constantly biting around, and its front claws sweep and slap from time to time, making soil and wood chips splash everywhere.

Its sharp teeth are staggered in its mouth, and the saliva flows down at the same time in the corners of its three mouths, showing its desire to tear flesh and blood without concealment.

But its eyes are a kind of red full of blood, a kind of blood red falling into madness.

Compared with its ancestors, the hellhound, which had been extinct in ancient times, the three giant dogs did not spit huge fireballs with terrible temperatures. But it inherited the great power and strong body of its ancestors.

And with its inheritance, there are crazy blood vessels that will automatically explode when their lives are in danger.

"... who annoyed little Luwei?"

Hagrid stood in front of Harry, stubbornly blocking Harry from approaching.

Because he was well aware of the current state of the three headed dog Luwei. If Harry was slightly rubbed by the heavy claw, he would be seriously injured and even killed on the spot.

Although the strength of the three headed dog is not enough to compete with the real giant, it can never be used as a joke.

But just then, a voice sounded from the woods in front of the side——

"... spread out, horses... Spread out!"

It was sprot's voice, and Hagrid soon recognized it. But he heard it was useless. Those horse people were not creatures who would do what the wizard said.

Hagrid hurriedly pulled Harry's arm and drew closer.

"Oh! Little Potter's all right - that's great!" spraot hugged Harry and almost choked him.

"Professor sprott... Oh, Professor McGonagall, you're here too!" he said quickly, and then immediately, "well... Please, help... Find a way to calm Xiaowei down..."

"Yes, I just want to do this..." sprott said, but he looked puzzled at the horse man who was running around Luwei.

"What's the matter?" Hagrid pursued. "Are the horses in your way?"

"Ah!" spraot said with a worried look on his face, "it can't be said to be an 'obstruction'..."

"I'll do it!" Professor McGonagall took over and explained to Hagrid. "Pomona's means are necessary to safely subdue the crazy three headed dog, but I'm afraid it's not easy to control - that is, it will involve the horses together."

"But, you know --" she frowned slightly. "It will certainly cause dissatisfaction among the horse people afterwards... Do you have a way to get the horse people to evacuate first?"

"Well... Those guys are stubborn..." Hagrid thought, "I'll try."

"Wait --"

Hearing Meg's sudden opening, Hagrid, who had just turned back, paused and looked at her suspiciously.

"No, it's not you -" Professor McGonagall stared at Harry. "You, stay here! Don't go anywhere - besides, Gryffindor deducted 10 points for your reckless move!"

……

Just as Harry stood beside MEG with a bitter face, two young girls were walking slowly in the forest at a place not too far from here.

"Miss Lovegood, thanks to you just now, or I'm afraid I'll die..."

As sokas had told Hermione and Ron before, the chestnut haired girl named Helen also ran into the forbidden forest. But even sokas didn't find that Luna was wandering here except Helen.

At the moment, Helen was thanking Luna with gratitude on her face.

"... Luna."

"What?" she looked at a loss when Luna suddenly interrupted her.

"Just call me Luna."

The girl with beautiful long blonde hair was still in a trance as usual. As she paced forward like a sleepwalker, she looked at everything around her with hazy eyes.

"Ah, oh -" Helen smiled sweetly. "Really? So... Luna?"

The girl looked back gently and nodded to her.

"Well, anyway... Thank you very much for your help!" Helen hesitated a little, then boldly put her hand around Luna's arm, "it's really terrible... How can there be such a terrible monster in the forest?"

"It's a little dangerous..." Luna blinked. "But it's interesting."

"What's interesting!" said Helen tremblingly. "Don't you see its teeth? It's so big, it's scary!"

"Witnessing is a brush for describing existence -" Luna hummed in a strange tone. "When you are not sure whether something exists or not, each more person witnessing it will have more possibility of existence --"

"Ah?"

Helen held Luna's arm, looked at her with her head tilted, and then giggled.

"You're strange!" she looked at Luna curiously, imitating her voice. "But it's interesting."

Luna didn't respond to her words. She just paced and let Helen stick to her arm.

"That's right!" Helen was suddenly silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Luna, what do you think... What's the taste of death?"

Among wizards, the topic of death is more taboo than Muggles. Because in the magic world, death not only represents the end of life, but also contains more obscure magic that people are afraid to avoid.

If you suddenly mention such a topic to others, I'm afraid everyone will feel abrupt, but Luna doesn't care about it.

"I don't know," she just replied softly.

They were crowded in the woods and walked for a little while. If it were not for the roar and slight vibration of wild animals still coming from a distance, I'm afraid it would really be like taking an ordinary walk after dinner.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared quietly by a tree behind them, and those slightly narrow eyes stared at them silently.

Luna and Helen who walked in front didn't seem to find the man's existence. They were still walking gently.

"Hey, Luna -" Helen asked again, "I hear you know Professor McLean very well. What kind of person is he?"

As soon as Luna heard the surname, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly evoke a touch of softness.

"He is a 'rich man'."

"Eh?" Helen wondered. "Is he rich?"

"The founder of Ravenclaw once said that human intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind." Luna smiled lightly when she said this.

"Oh -" Helen nodded as if she knew it, but shook Luna's arm again. "I already know he's great - I want to know what he is like in life?"

"Hmm..." she paused and added, "for example, what does he like to eat and do... And... Does he have a girlfriend or something?"

"Girlfriend?" Luna seemed a little confused about the word and even repeated it vaguely.

"Yes!" Helen urged excitedly. "I heard you were classmates before? Hermione said, you have a good relationship with him... Are you his girlfriend?"

However, before the words fell, she shook her head again.

"No, I haven't seen you all together. It doesn't look like..." Helen muttered. "It's time... He's already a professor, so powerful and popular... He must have a girlfriend?"

"How does... Girlfriend... Feel?" Luna said with some doubt.

"Hmm?" Helen looked at her, then smiled and said, "who knows!"

It was the moment Helen said this that a large number of black vines suddenly appeared in the woods not far away. Each of those vines has the thickness of an arm. They entangle, extend and cling to each other, just like a group of boa constrictors gathered together like a tide.

In the twinkling of an eye, a large area of vines immediately occupied the area. Both land and trees were submerged by these plants with amazing growth speed.

If it weren't for Luna, they were still a certain distance away, maybe even they would be wrapped together. But even so, some spread to their feet.

In surprise, Helen hurriedly pulled Luna back, away from the terrible black plants.

"Oh -" Luna said vaguely, "the devil's net."

……

On the other side, in the center of the devil's net, where the growth rate is quite abnormal, McGonagall, spraot and Harry are standing in the middle of a small circle. The circle was made of some kind of red powder sprinkled on the ground, and there was a faint glittering light in it.

Davros of the horse people agreed with Hagrid's persuasion, and they retreated far away from the area with the rest of the horse people.

In front of spraot and others, the originally crazy and ferocious three headed dog Luwei was tightly tied into a crooked "wool ball" by those devil nets.

It can be seen that Lu Wei is still struggling in it, but the more he struggles, the tighter the devil's net makes its strength become a decoration.

Behind professor spraot, Harry stared at the short, kind figure, stunned.
