Chapter 147 Forbidden Forest

The Easter holiday lasts about two weeks, when Hogwarts is already in summer, with lush bushes and cinnamon everywhere in the school.

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

Especially under the guidance of Belby, the professors (headed by McGonagall) discovered new uses of parchment paper and kept putting new test questions on them.

In the common room, Ron stared at his eyes and made a simple dice with parchment paper, and chose the answer according to the results obtained.

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

He pressed the tip of his wand on the dice and shouted angrily: "Look, there are only five answers at most. If you give me another option that does not exist..."

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

Ron collapsed on the table with a desperate look on his face: "What can I do? Every professor has left so much homework."

"You just piled up all your homework to the end! You go to Harry's training every day in the first three days!"

In the midst of noise, Harry came back with his tired body, looking quite tired.

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

"I'm fine," Harry said, finding his voice particularly hoarse, clearing his throat and explaining: "It took too much time to discuss tactics with Wood..."

"We are currently ranked first, Slytherin is second, and the score is very tight."

"How much is the gap?" Ron asked with interest, and he stuffed the answering parchment into his schoolbag.

"Thirty."

"This number is very dangerous."

"Wood said the same. They are becoming more and more skilled in the new broom and get a lot of points in the tour behind."

“When is the next game?”

“The first Saturday after the holiday.”

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

"What's this?"

Hermione didn't look up, "Review schedule."

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

"I have to remind you," Hermione looked up at them with a serious expression: "We're only six weeks away from the exam."

...

Deep in the forbidden forest.

Felix and Belby wade through the grass that was beyond their knees. There were no paths here. Looking around, there were tall trees, low shrubs, and herbs growing wildly.

A thin layer of mist painted hazy colors on the forbidden forest.

During the Easter holiday, Felix and Belby discussed and explored the Forbidden Forest. Belby was to create a special topic for Forbidden Forest Biology in the Black Magic Defense Class, while Felix simply saw some fresh and interesting animals and plants, and picked up some materials to experiment.

"Belby, wait!"

Felix squatted down, pushed a bush away, carefully connected the roots and leaves, and picked a magical plant with black rhizomes and white flowers.

Belby glanced at it and said excitedly, "Is it black root? This thing is quite rare, what are you going to do with it?"

"Configure a medicine liquid, the recipe I found in the library, can neutralize the cold properties of magical biological materials."

Belby thought, "I don't know this. I only know that taking black root can effectively resist the damage of black magic."

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

"I can only say that it has some effect... In fact, it is better to make potions and has miraculous effects on various black magic damage." Belby is the authority in this regard.

Felix transplanted the black root grass into a copper vessel, and Belby took out a clear glass tube the size of a thumb from his robe and carefully dripped two drops of potion on it, "Okay, it should survive the transplant if you want to raise it."

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

"Root." Belby 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 well.

A heavy sound of footsteps came from afar.

Both of them aimed at that direction with their wands at the same time.

The Forbidden Forest is also known as the Dark Forest, because of its dense and tall trees that obscured the sun. The bushes in front of them swayed violently. With the help of the dim light, Belby shouted nervously: "Who is there?"

"Woon! Woon!" A huge black hunting dog appeared from the dense leaves, followed by a burly figure.

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

"Hello, Hagrid." Felix greeted.

Hager held a big bucket in his hand, first glanced at Belby vigilantly, then saw Felix behind him, and relaxed his expression, "Hello, Felix."

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

"Find some magical materials." Felix raised the copper vessel in his hand. Then he put the black grass into a specific area of ​​the ring.

Belby said: "I'll see the forbidden forest creatures and pick some for the little wizards to teach."

"Is that?" Hagrid asked with interest: "Are there any goals?"

"Some dark creatures," Belby said, "the conventional magic creatures are not in the scope of the Dark Magic Defense class."

Felix suddenly spoke, "Hagge, I heard that Professor Kettleborn has clearly retired, and he has recommended you to Dumbledore."

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

Next, Hagrid took them around nearby. He could always easily find traces left by various magical creatures. He pointed to a mark on the ground and said, "Some are like traces of porcupines walking by, or maybe Teppo warthogs. I have seen them several times..."

After walking a distance, Hagrid said to them: "The territory of unicorns is ahead, but they have just given birth to their baby and are very vigilant."

Hagrid placed the bucket on an open space, retreated for a distance, and whistled in his mouth.

Two or three minutes later, a tall and agile male unicorn came out, with snow-white fur all over his body, and he stared vigilantly at Felix and Belby.

"Ruby, they are my friends." Haeger said from a distance, turning his head to explain to the two: "I bring them some nutritional products, which are good for the female unicorns after delivery."

The unicorn nodded at Hagrid and left with a big bucket in his mouth.

Belby asked with interest: "Have they always been so arrogant?"

Hagrid said sternly, "Actually not. Take animals like humans for example. In the eyes of some creatures, we are quite strange. We don't even eat raw meat. In fact, they are all habits, right?"
