"Helen, don't stop, keep running!" Ron stopped and shouted to Helen ahead on the lawn path from the forbidden forest to Hogwarts castle.
"Ronald?" Helen slowed down and turned over.
"Don't come here. I have to help Hermione -" Ron waved his hand. "Go back to the castle and ask the other professors for help!"
"But... Ronald?" Helen looked hesitant.
"Listen to me! Hurry up, what you have to do is also very important!"
Ron said, and when he turned around, he galloped along the way he came.
"... yes, I'm 'Ronald'!" he muttered to himself as he ran. "Although you're the only one named me in this book, that's enough!"
However, before he could run far, a magic spell came and hit his back heart accurately. With the inertia of running, a strong force immediately made him jump heavily on the ground in front of him.
"... no, Helen... I couldn't protect her..." the moment before he passed out of coma, he suddenly reacted to Helen's safety.
"... look back... I'll be scolded by Hermione again."
Just as Ron fell to the ground, a dark shadow suddenly crossed the sky and swept away in the direction of the castle. That's Maka's Owl MafA. When it caught this scene in the air, it landed on the top of the West Tower quickly.
"Click -"
MafA's hard and sharp beak cracked the foot ring on her feet in a few times.
……
"Stop! Don't try to escape!"
At the edge of the forbidden forest, sokas supported the trunk with one hand, climbed smoothly over the bushes and chased Hermione and Luna who were running on the lawn.
They did not choose to return to Hogwarts castle. Although the distance over there was not far, the view on the lawn was wide, which was definitely not good for the Escaping Party.
Therefore, the two girls, who were both very smart, had the intention to go back to the forbidden forest.
"You saved me just now... Thank you..." Hermione, who ran a little behind Luna, said as she ran, "... Now, I want to return to my original position."
"Yes," Luna nodded.
"To pieces!"
When another magic spell came behind them, the two people who had originally run along the edge of the forbidden forest immediately ran to their side and rushed into the forbidden forest without saying a word.
Sokas's spell hit a tree and wood chips splashed for a while, but it didn't hurt Luna and Hermione.
"Damn it," said sokas angrily as he ran, "you'll be smart. Do you think you can run through the woods?"
He moves very fast. The speed of running and the flexibility of his body are far from what Luna and Hermione can compare. The distance between the two sides has been much shorter than at the beginning.
The trees in the forbidden forest grow very densely. If you run freely in it, it is very easy for people who enter without permission to get lost.
This rather wide woodland is rarely accessed at ordinary times. Except for Hagrid, most other visitors are afraid to lose their way.
To tell the truth, Luna and Hermione are actually regular visitors to the forbidden forest, but even if they come in on weekdays, they just act on the periphery.
Now that they return to the forbidden forest, naturally they will not choose to run with fate, because they have a destination.
"... Luna, are you okay?"
Although the two little witches are not very good at sports, Luna, who usually takes a daze as fun, is more difficult than Hermione.
This run made Luna's physical strength drop sharply. She even felt that her legs didn't work.
"You can't stop here, that guy is catching up," Hermione said anxiously, holding Luna's arm.
"I... understand." Luna strode forward with heavy steps.
In the forbidden forest, they kept running along the edge of the devil's net. From time to time, they would turn back and cast a magic spell to stop the approaching sokas.
After almost running around the area covered with the devil's net, they finally saw the flame again - it was lit by Luna with the fire curse, and the fire was obviously bigger than before.
"Can't you run?"
Just as Luna and Hermione were standing in front of the fire, the trees behind them trembled, and then sokas appeared there.
"Why don't you run away? Hmm?" sokas came here step by step with a magic wand in his hand. "It's stupid to be stopped by his own fire!"
"I don't know... Who's stupid?" Hermione gasped.
"Hard mouth!" sokas glared and shouted angrily, "drill your heart and gouge out your bones -"
"Bang!"
A bright fire burst out in front of Hermione, and sokas's spell was blocked.
"Heart drilling curse!" a sonorous and powerful voice came from the forest next to Hermione, with an unbelievable voice, "how dare you?"
"Professor McGonagall!" Hermione shouted immediately. "You're coming!"
"Damn it, it's like this..." sokas heard the voice and his face changed slightly. "It's all the smelly girl's fault, which messed up my plan!"
After Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared, he finally understood the intention of Hermione and Luna to return here. In fact, sokas wouldn't have been surprised if he hadn't been bent on catching them just now.
"Hermione Luna?"
When MEG came out of the woods, another figure followed.
"Harry?" Hermione said happily. "It's great that you're all right!"
"Get out of here!"
Professor McGonagall said with a slight frown and then stretched out the wand in her hand. In a flash, a silent spell flew out quickly, and the speed surprised sokas.
"You can't connect it hard!"
With a little judgment, he threw himself aside without hesitation and saw that he was about to run back into the trees.
Professor McGonagall did not show any unexpected expression. She waved her wand calmly, and the Bush in front of sokas suddenly twisted and pulled it around his waist in time.
Sokas, who was blocked by Professor McGonagall's deformation, immediately turned over and climbed up, jumped flexibly in the opposite direction, as if he wanted to leave McGonagall's sight.
But at this time, a black gray powder suddenly sprayed on him, and he was suddenly sprinkled all over.
Before he could react, he saw several black vines suddenly flying from the ground and wrapped sokas directly in mid air.
"... Pomona." Professor McGonagall put away his wand and called over.
"Mileva, take the children back first!" Professor spraot slowly walked out of the woods over there. She said as she put the cork back in her hand. "Lubber is comforting the three headed dog - it seems quiet. Here I'll watch. You take them first."
"OK." Professor McGonagall didn't insist. She nodded and then said, "you guys, come back with me! Now!"
"... don't think it's over!" sokas, who was still entangled by the devil's net, shouted, "Lord Dark Lord won't stop like this! This is just the beginning - the reappearance of the bones!"
He struggled desperately. A green awn lit up from his wand, suddenly broke the dense canopy and ran high into the forbidden forest, turning into a huge black devil mark.
With a wave of his hand, Professor spraot's wand jumped up and left his palm.
"Hmm? What sound?"
Spraut, who was about to knock him unconscious, suddenly gave a meal in his hand, while Professor McGonagall, who was taking the children back to the castle, also turned his head.
Almost at the same time, the people present heard a sound of learning, and the source of the strange movement seemed to be deeper in the forbidden forest.
"Hahaha -" sokas, who was listening, suddenly laughed, "Damn it, it's finally here! It's finally here! None of you can escape! None of you can escape --"
Before he finished, a miserable green beam of light interrupted his words decisively. He immediately tilted his head and lost his voice.
Curse of death! It's a curse! But who on earth made this curse?
Professor McGonagall reacted very quickly. She quickly waved her wand and issued a magic spell in the direction of the green light. But what splashed up was just a broken branch and leaves.
After releasing the spell, she immediately ran over there and soon disappeared into the woods.
"It's terrible..." Professor sprott said painfully, "it's terrible that someone has cast a death spell at Hogwarts again!"
Naturally, she is not afraid of herself, but the safety of the students. She always treated every little wizard like a grandmother. Her heart trembled at the thought that they would suffer misfortune.
"Go back, hurry up! You can't stay here anymore!" spraot opened his arms and pushed Hermione and others out.
……
On the other side, beside the huge body of three headed dog Luwei
"... three stupid big dogs ~ heads! Look at how ugly they are! They look like Muggle clocks ~ buildings and eat ~ meat every day! You've never seen such a stupid dog in your life. Three heads have only one stomach..."
Hagrid was leaning on Luwei's leg, howling his own nursery rhyme in a disjointed voice. Not only the tone was strange, but also the content was inexplicably funny.
The horsemen not far away looked at this side without expression, looked at each other from time to time, and then retreated again, trying to keep enough distance from Hagrid.
But Luwei seemed very satisfied with his voice. He lay on the ground, and his eyelids had gradually drooped.
However, the strange sound from the depths of the Forbidden Forest woke it up again!
