Chapter 147： Forbidden forest

The Easter holiday lasts about two weeks, at this time Hogwarts has entered the summer, and the school is full of lush bushes and osmanthus.

But the students did not feel the leisure of the holiday at all, and the professors assigned a lot of homework, which made the Easter holiday far less fun than Christmas.

Especially under the guidance of Bellby, the professors (led by McGonagall) have successively discovered new uses of parchment for answering questions, and constantly updated various test questions on it.

In the common room, Ron stared at him, made a simple dice out of parchment paper, and chose the answer according to the result.

As a result, he rolled the largest number six three times in a row.

He put the tip of his magic wand against the dice and yelled angrily: "Okay, there are only five answers at most. If you give me another option that doesn't exist..."

Hermione raised her head impatiently. "Can't you just be serious about doing it yourself?"

Ron collapsed on the table with a look of despair: "What can I do? Every professor has left so many homework."

"You just piled up your homework to the end! You went to watch Harry training every day for the first three days!"

Amid the noise, Harry returned with his tired body, he looked rather tired.

"Harry, are you okay?" Hermione asked caringly. "You don't look good."

"I'm fine." Harry said. He found his voice particularly hoarse. He cleared his throat and explained: "It took too much time to discuss tactical issues with Wood..."

"We are currently ranked first and Slytherin second. The scores are very tight."

"What's the difference?" Ron asked with interest, and he slipped the answer parchment into his schoolbag.

"thirty marks."

"This number is dangerous."

"Wood said the same. They are getting more and more proficient with the new broomstick and scored a lot of points in subsequent tournaments."

"When is the next game?"

"The first Saturday after the holiday ends."

Harry took out the parchment and started to do his homework. He saw Hermione drawing squares with different colors of ink.

"what is this?"

Hermione didn't look up, "Review the timetable."

Ron opened his mouth wide: "Hermione, you thought about it too early, right?"

"I have to remind you," Hermione raised her head, looking at them with a serious expression: "We are only six weeks away from the exam."

...

Deep in the Forbidden Forest.

Felix and Bellby waded through the knee-less grass, trekking hard. There is no path here. Looking around, there are tall trees and low shrubs, as well as herbaceous plants that grow arbitrarily.

A thin layer of mist painted the forbidden forest with a hazy color.

During the Easter holiday, Felix and Bellby discussed and explored the Forbidden Forest together. Bellby was to create the Forbidden Forest Creatures topic of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Felix simply wanted to see some fresh and interesting animals and plants, and picked up some materials to experiment.

"Belby, wait!"

Felix squatted down, pushed aside a bush, carefully rooted with leaves, and plucked a magical plant with black rhizomes and white flowers.

Bellby glanced at it and said excitedly: "It's blackroot? This thing is quite rare. What are you going to use it for?"

"With a medicinal solution, the formula I found in the library can neutralize the coldness of magical biological materials."

Bellby thoughtfully said: "I don't know this. I only know that taking blackroot grass can effectively resist the damage of black magic."

"The effect is so exaggerated?" Felix looked at the black plant in his hand in surprise.

"It can only be said to have some effect... In fact, it is better to make a potion, and it has a miraculous effect on all kinds of black magic damage." Bellby is the authority in this regard.

Felix transplanted blackroot into a copper vessel. Bellby took out a thumb-sized transparent glass tube from his robe and carefully dropped two drops of potion on it. "Okay, it should be able to survive the transplant. Period-if you want to raise it."

"I need its flowers, which part do you need?"

"Roots," Bellby said without hesitation.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

This is the third day of the Forbidden Forest Expedition, and they know each other's attitudes and habits.

There was a heavy footstep in the distance--

The two pointed their wands in that direction at the same time.

The bushes in front shook violently, and with the help of the dim light, Bellby shouted nervously: "Who is there?"

The forbidden forest is also called the dark forest because the dense, tall trees block the sun.

"Wow! Wow!" A huge black hound appeared from the dense leaves, and behind it was a burly man.

His height is extremely oppressive, he looks like a giant, his tangled long black hair and beard almost cover most of his face.

"Hello, Hagrid." Felix greeted.

With a big bucket in his hand, Hagrid first glanced at Bellby warily and then saw Felix behind him, his expression relaxed, "Hello, Felix."

Hagrid said coarsely, "What are you doing here?"

"Find some magic materials." Felix raised the copper vessel in Yang's hand. Afterwards, he put blackroot grass into a specific area in the ring.

Bellby said politely: "I'll meet the creatures of the Forbidden Forest and pick some for the little wizards."

"Really?" Hagrid asked interestedly, "Is there any goal?"

"Some dangerous guys," Bellby said. "Regular magical creatures are not in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Felix spoke suddenly: "Hagrid, I heard that Professor Kettleborn has definitely retired, and he recommended you to Dumbledore."

Hagrid's face turned rosy, "Yeah, I didn't mention it to anyone, I always thought it was a bit unclear... But Dumbledore promised to solve my identity problem, and he always did what he said. "

Next, Hagrid took them around, and he could always easily find the traces left by various magical creatures. He pointed to an indentation on the ground and said: "Some are like the footprints of a porcupine. It may also be a Tebo Warthog. I have seen it several times..."

After walking some distance, Hagrid said to them: "The front is the territory of unicorns, but they have just given birth to their babies, so they are very vigilant."

Hagrid placed the vat on a clearing, stepped back a distance, whistling in his mouth.

Two or three minutes later, a tall and vigorous male unicorn came out with a snow-white coat, staring at Felix and Bellby vigilantly.

Hagrid said: "Actually, it's not. Let's take humans as an example. We are strange to some creatures. We don't even eat raw meat. In fact, it's all habits, right?"

"Interesting point, Hagrid."
