Chapter 33： Forbidden forest

However, now is not the time to chat, Hagrid got up from the ground, rubbed his shoulders, and said very quickly, "Get out of here first!"

Fortunately, the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest only cared about killing themselves and didn't notice the group of people who were hurriedly leaving at the edge.

In the black lake on the side, there was continuous surging of water, and Sean saw the horse-shaped water monster showing up from time to time. It was helping Sean drive out other irritable aquatic animals that were trying to get close to the shore.

Sean looked at the castle with worry. He and Dumbledore only met yesterday, but now that something so serious has happened, Mr. Headmaster is still missing.

He turned his attention to those magical animals again. They were obviously abnormal. Just like the little black dragon and the horse-shaped water monster before, their pupils were all bloody, and most of their reason had been lost.

What happened in the Forbidden Forest... Sean frowned and ran quickly, but the little black dragon beside him was in a good mood, rubbing his big head against Sean's body from time to time.

"Hagrid, what about this little guy?" The group came to the circular stone pile, which was the fork after the castle covered bridge came out, leading to the Forbidden Forest and the Owl Shack.

Hagrid glanced at the little black dragon: "You will advance to the castle later, and I will take it to Professor Kettleburn."

When they were talking, a strong white light suddenly lit up behind them.

The group suddenly looked back and saw that it was the location of the Forbidden Forest. The dazzling white light spread rapidly from the center of the Forbidden Forest until it enveloped the entire Forbidden Forest.

The roar of magical animals that had been incessant in his ears gradually faded, and Hagrid showed an excited look: "It must be Professor Dumbledore!"

Sean breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, and then turned his eyes to the gradually dissipating white light.

The magic spell can cover the entire Forbidden Forest, and Dumbledore's strength is indeed terrifying.

While speaking, the little black dragon beside Sean seemed to have noticed something. It stared in one direction and moved the ground uneasily.

"Hagrid?!" a gruff voice called.

The person who came was holding a wand, which seemed to be inconvenient to move.

"It's me, Professor Kettleburn." Hagrid waved his hand.

Professor Kettleburn is a little old man with white hair and beard. Except for one arm and half of his legs, the rest of his limbs are wooden prostheses with many traces of smoke and fire.

Keitelborn limped over: "Are you all right?"

Sean noticed that the other party's arm was also shaking a little bit strangely.

Hagrid nodded and asked again, "Professor Kettleburn, weren't you bitten?"

Keitelborn waved his hand indifferently: "It's weird that you don't get bitten in any month. I saw something was wrong with the Forbidden Forest. I remembered that you were going to catch a little fire dragon tonight. I'm not worried, so I'll come out and have a look."

With that said, he turned his attention to the little black dragon beside Sean, and then rubbed his beard: "It's really a black dragon from the Hebrides."

The little black dragon was very wary of Kettleborn, it stretched its body on its stomach and seemed ready to breathe fire at any time.

Sean quickly comforted the little guy, and it took a while for him to calm down.

Keitelborn looked at Sean with strange eyes: "What's your name?"

"Sean Wallup, sir."

"Wallup...very good, you're not bad." He showed a shriveled smile and shook the wooden prosthesis again, "I just came back from the Fire Dragon Sanctuary a few days ago and accidentally knocked out a few fire dragons. , this little guy is quite sharp."

Accidentally... knocked out a fire dragon? Sean and Harry looked at each other, is the teacher of the protection of magical creatures that they haven't met so fierce?

Kettleborn waved to them: "Hagrid, make this little guy numb, move it to me first, and I'll notify someone to take it away tomorrow."

The little black dragon seemed to have sensed something. It roared at Keitelborn, then turned its head to look at Sean eagerly.

Sean looked at the little black dragon in embarrassment. He definitely couldn't raise a fire dragon now. If he hadn't been found out, there would be something to say, but now that everyone is watching...

He pondered for a moment, and when he was about to speak, a fiery red light flashed, and Dumbledore appeared in front of them from the firelight.

"It seems that this confinement is a little too strong. Fortunately, you are all right." Dumbledore put his hands on his waist and said gently.

Hagrid felt the stone in his heart suddenly drop, and he let out a breath: "Professor, it's great to see you, over the Forbidden Forest?"

Dumbledore nodded, as if he was just handling a trivial matter casually: "Those poor animals have recovered, but Hagrid, Sylvanus, many magical animals have been injured or even lost. Life, you may be busy for a while."

Keitelborn smashed the ground with a prosthetic limb: "That's exactly what I'm going to do, but, Albus, what the **** happened in the Forbidden Forest? I've never seen a tree guard who came up and took out my eyeballs, Merlin's beard!"

Dumbledore's expression became more serious: "It's probably some kind of potion, but I also smell a little ancient magicancient magic? Sean pricked up his ears.

As if seeing through his mind, Dumbledore smiled: "Ancient does not necessarily mean powerful. On the contrary, many ancient magics are extremely troublesome when they cast spells."

After speaking, he blinked his eyes mischievously: "There are some magic spells, not only complex movements and lengthy spells, but you even have to perform a dance."

The grade seems to have dropped a lot... Sean feels that his enthusiasm is not so high.

Next, under Dumbledore's questioning, Sean repeated what happened before.

"Son, you did a good job, you reminded me of a person, of course only in terms of magical animals." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Newt Scamander, a name popped into Sean's mind.

"Let this little guy take care of Hagrid first," Dumbledore waved his hand, and the little black dragon fell into a drowsy sleep, "I think this confinement has also made you realize that you are violating the school rules. Seriously, it's time to go back to sleep. Oh, by the way, Sean, remember to say goodbye when the McFasteys come to pick it up."

"I will, professor." Sean nodded, and then looked at the little black dragon reluctantly. It's a pity that he can't raise a dragon...

After the figure of Hagrid carrying the fire dragon and the swaying figure of Professor Kettleburn disappeared, Sean turned his head, and Dumbledore looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, wondering what he was thinking.

"Harry, let's go first." Saying hello to the other two, Sean waited for a while, and then walked to Dumbledore's side.

"Professor, can I ask a question?"

"Of course, child." Dumbledore's eyes were wise and gentle.
