A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 149 Forbidden Forest
The Easter holiday lasts about two weeks, and Hogwarts has entered summer at this time, and the school is full of lush bushes and perennial 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 Belby's guidance, the professors (headed by Mag) successively discovered new usages of the answering parchment, and constantly updated various test questions on it.

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

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

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

Hermione looked up impatiently, "Can't you be serious about doing it yourself?"

Ron slumped on the table in despair: "What can I do? Every professor has left so much homework."

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

Amidst the noise, Harry came back dragging his tired body, he looked quite tired.

"Harry, are you okay?" Hermione asked concerned, "You don't look very well."

"I'm fine," said Harry, finding his voice particularly hoarse, and clearing his throat to explain, "Spent too much time discussing tactics with Wood..."

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

"How many points is the difference?" Ron asked with interest, and he stuffed 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 broom, and they have scored a lot of points in the following tours."

"When is the next game?"

"The first Saturday after the holidays."

Harry took out the parchment and started to do his homework. He saw that Hermione was drawing squares with different colored inks.

"what is this?"

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

Ron opened his mouth wide: "Hermione, aren't you thinking too early?"

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

……

Deep in the forbidden forest.

Felix and Belby trudged through the knee-deep grass. There was no path here, and there were tall trees, low shrubs, and grass growing wantonly.

A thin layer of mist paints the Forbidden Forest with a hazy color.

During the Easter break, Felix and Belby agreed to explore the Forbidden Forest together.Belby wanted to create a special topic on creatures in the Forbidden Forest for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, while Felix simply wanted to see some fresh and interesting animals and plants, so he picked up some materials for experiments along the way.

"Damocles, wait!"

Felix squatted down, pushed aside a bush, carefully removed the roots and leaves, and picked off a magical plant with black roots and white flowers.

Belby glanced at it and said excitedly, "It's black root grass? It's quite rare. What are you going to use it for?"

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

Belby thought about it and said, "I don't know about it. I only know that taking black root grass can effectively resist the damage of black magic."

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

"I can only say that it has some effect... In fact, it is better to make it into a potion, and it has a miraculous effect on all kinds of black magic damage." Belby is an authority in this regard.

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

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

"Roots," said Belby without thinking.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

It was already the third day of the Forbidden Forest expedition, and they knew each other's attitudes and habits very well.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps in the distance——

Both pointed their wands in that direction at the same time.

The bushes ahead shook violently, and with the help of the dim light, Belby shouted nervously, "Who's there?"

The Forbidden Forest is also known as the Dark Forest because the dense, tall trees block out the sunlight.

"Wow! Wow!" A huge black hound emerged from the thick leaves, followed by a burly man.

His imposing height makes him look like a giant, his long, tangled black hair and beard covering most of his face.

"Hello, Hagrid." Felix greeted.

Hagrid was holding a large bucket in his hand. He first glanced at Belby warily, and then saw Felix behind him, his expression relaxed, "Hello, Felix."

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

"Find some magic materials." Felix raised the copper vessel in his hand.He then placed blackroot in a specific area of ​​the ring.

Belby said politely: "I'm here to see the creatures of the Forbidden Forest and pick some for the little wizards to teach."

"Really?" Hagrid asked interestedly, "Any goals?"

"Dangerous ones," Belby said. "Normal magical creatures that don't belong in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Felix suddenly said: "Hagrid, I heard that Professor Kettleburn has clearly retired, and he recommended you to Dumbledore."

Hagrid's face turned rosy, "Yeah, I haven't mentioned it to anyone, and I always feel that it's a bit of a suspense... But Dumbledore promised to solve my identity problem, and he always kept his word. "

Next, Hagrid took them around, and he could always easily find traces left by various magical creatures.He pointed to an indentation on the ground and said, "It looks like a porcupine footprint, or maybe a Tebo warthog. I've seen it a few times..."

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

Hagrid put the vat on a clearing and stepped back some distance, whistling.

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

"Ruby, these two are my friends." Hagrid called from a distance, and he turned his head to explain to the two, "I brought them some nutrition, which is good for the female unicorns after giving birth. After a while, I will be able to get close, but not now, it is the time to be most vigilant."

The unicorn nodded at Hagrid and left with the bucket in its mouth.

Belby asked with interest: "Have they always been this proud?"

Hagrid said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not. Just take humans as an example. We are weird in the eyes of some creatures. We don't even eat raw meat. It's just a habit, isn't it?"

"Interesting point, Hagrid."
