Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

After Alexis circled around the outside, he returned to the place where the students were caught by the centaurs. At this time, Firenze also happened to patrol once. He had finished repairing and was preparing for the second patrol.

Alexis did not show up. He quietly followed the centaur, walking slowly.

The patrol routes of the centaurs are not fixed. They will patrol back and forth around the territory of the centaurs tribe until dawn. After delivering with another patrol team, they will return to the territory to rest.

After following him for three consecutive times, Alexis no longer planned to follow.

It was already past midnight, and apart from Firenze and the others, Alexis didn't even see a ghost.

Sighing silently, Alexis appeared, said hello to Firenze, and turned to leave.

Arriving at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Alexis reluctantly looked back at the deep Forbidden Forest.

Another night with no results.

Whatever plot the werewolves are hatching, their chances of success will increase significantly as time goes by.

"Hey."

Alexis sighed and prepared to go back to sleep.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

An idea flashed through his mind, making him suddenly enlightened.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Alexis murmured, an excited look on her face.

He turned his head, returned to the Forbidden Forest, and came to the starting point again. This time, he chose a place far away from the starting point to hide.

The place where the group of students was arrested happened to be the starting point of the patrol of the centaurs tribe. Each patrol route of the centaurs tribe was different, but these routes had one overlapping point, which was here.

Every patrol, the centaur team starts from here, passes through different random routes, and finally returns here.

If someone is waiting here, wait for the centaur team to start patrolling from here, and then quietly follow them...

No matter how the Centaur team changed their patrol route, they could not find the intruder because the intruder was following the Centaur team!

Alexis took out the time turner and fiddled with it gently.

He didn't expect to catch a werewolf today.

After all, by inference, the werewolf carries a time turner.And tomorrow is the full moon day. In order to avoid the madness of the full moon, the werewolf will inevitably use a time turner to return to today.

Since they returned to today, it means that there was no accident today and they were not discovered.

If they were discovered today, this group of werewolves would either use the time turner to leave the Forbidden Forest, or they would all be captured. Naturally, they would not use the time turner to return to today tomorrow night.

In other words, no matter what, at least tonight, the werewolf will not be discovered.

According to inference, the most likely reason that werewolves carry time turners is to prevent them from going crazy on full moon nights and being discovered. On other days, they only need to quietly follow the centaur patrol team to successfully avoid being discovered.

In other words, Alexis would never find any trace of the werewolf today.

So, what else is he doing here?

Alexis planned to test her suspicions.

When the centaur patrol team returns here later, he will follow the team and wait for the centaur team to patrol around to see if they will find him.

If there is no discovery, it means that his guess is likely to be correct. Then the night after tomorrow, he can come and hang behind the centaur patrol team, preparing to capture the werewolf.

The reason why it is the night after tomorrow instead of tomorrow night is because the werewolf tomorrow night will use the time turner to come here tonight. Even if he turns the Forbidden Forest upside down tomorrow, there will be no trace of the werewolf.

Time passed slowly, and after about ten minutes, Firenze led the team back to the starting point.

They dispersed, rested in place for a while, and then assembled the team again for patrol.

Alexis quietly fell behind the group and followed from a distance.

They passed a small lake, crossed a hill, passed a spider territory, passed a small patch of tall trees, and passed a hillside where unicorns often hang out, and finally returned to the starting point.

Alexis took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The whole process lasted a little more than 10 minutes. Firenze looked normal during the whole process and did not notice Alexis falling behind at all!

After quietly making a large circle outside, they arrived behind the starting point. After waiting for another 10 minutes, Firenze led the team to start the next round of patrol.

very good!Not found at all!

Alexis put away her pocket watch and quietly retreated.

On the way back, Alexis kept smiling, and he even had the mood to hum a ballad.

He has solved the mystery of the werewolves not being discovered, now he just needs to wait quietly and start catching the werewolves!

……

Deep in the forbidden forest.

The figures of two teenagers huddled under a fallen tree trunk, shivering.

This tree is so thick that it can be hugged by four or five people.

"Did it leave?"

Ron curled up into a ball and asked quietly.

"Shh-"

Harry raised his finger to signal Ron to be silent. He carefully moved his body, holding his head against the tree trunk and looking behind him.

In the open space not far behind them, a black shadow three to four meters high was stopping there, motionless.

The moonlight shone through the mottled leaves and cast a strange shadow on the ground.

It was probably a monster, with several slender and slender limbs, and slender steel thorn-like things standing on them.

To say that its limbs are slender is only relative to its huge body. In fact, one of its limbs is as thick as Harry's waist.

They followed quietly behind the Centaur team at first, and everything was okay, but once on the way, they accidentally stepped on a dead branch, which aroused the vigilance of the Centaur team.

In order not to be discovered, the two people ran away before the centaur team came to check.

But they were not familiar with the Forbidden Forest, and they just ran around in a panic. It was lucky that the two of them didn't get separated. By the time they stopped after confirming that the centaur had not caught up, the surrounding environment had become extremely unfamiliar.

Then, before they could figure out where they were, the huge monster behind them jumped out and chased them all the way here.

Fortunately, the two of them were clever and hid under the tree trunk without saying a word.

The monster didn't know where the two were, but it refused to leave. It was certain that its prey was nearby.

The monster refused to leave and stood motionless not far away. Harry and Ron covered their mouths and hid under the tree trunk, also daring not to move. They were afraid that if they made any noise, the monster would be disturbed.

The monster wasn't very fast in the woods, but it was big, and even its slow pace was faster than Harry's and his short legs.

One party refused to leave, the other did not dare to move, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

rustling --

The night wind blew by, causing the leaves to rub against each other and make a slight sound.

The moonlight passed through the gap and fell on the monster.

This time, they saw the true face of the monster.

"Ah--spider--"

Screams rang out from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, followed immediately by the sound of rumbling running.

"Those two unlucky guys were discovered by spiders, and the damn centaurs are going to save them."

Behind the centaur patrol, several figures were discussing quietly.

"We'll wait here, there's 'yesterday' us over there."

"Stand back a little, this is where the 'us of yesterday' hid after we came back."
