Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Hogwarts, ten o'clock in the evening.

Curfews have been imposed on schools.

It cannot be said that everything is completely silent at this time, but most professors and students have already fallen asleep.

There were only a few lights on in the entire castle.

Filch also began patrolling the corridors, with his oil lamp and cat.

At this time, he ran into a student who looked "sneaky".

"Query!" Filch showed his big yellow teeth. He felt that he finally had a job, "Why are you still in the corridor so late!"

Arthur calmly took out a letter from his robe, handed it to him, and said, "Professor Baribone informed me that I will be confined in the Black Forest at ten o'clock tonight."

Filch stared at the letter, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten some unknown excrement.

After a long while, he said reluctantly: "Well, I hope you won't come back too late!"

"It's not something I can decide, but I think the professor may send me back then. Goodbye, Mr. Filch."

After Arthur finished speaking, he ignored Filch and continued walking to the first floor.

In the foyer on the first floor, he met Clydia Bursted.

"Want to go together?" Arthur asked with a shrug.

Clydia glanced at him, said nothing, and walked straight out the door.

Arthur followed her out.

The bright moonlight enveloped the entire campus, covering the castle with a hazy gauze, like a dream.

The two walked across the lawn and headed towards the black forest.

Arthur looked at Clydia in front of him. The girl's slender neck was vaguely visible in the collar of her robe.

He couldn't help but think of the fight in the restaurant that day.

Hey, he's underage!Stop it!

Although she is still young, it must be said that Clydia looks absolutely beautiful.

Unlike Nesta, who is gentle and cute, Claudia gives people a sharp and cold look.

That kind of pride and disregard for everything is exactly what is most annoying to some people.

But Arthur was not interested in this type at all. He felt that if Clydia was mute, it would be fine.

But whenever she spoke, Arthur wanted to quarrel with her!

The two quickly arrived at the edge of the school, and the huge black forest was in front of them.

At this moment, Clydia suddenly turned around and pointed her wand at Arthur.

Fortunately, Arthur was quick and stopped in time, otherwise the hard black pear wood wand might have poked his handsome face.

"What are you doing?!" Arthur asked with a frown.

"Listen, Curry! The professor said I should apologize to you, but I don't think I did anything wrong!" Clydia said coldly, "On the contrary, you should apologize to me! The one you were in the restaurant with The splitting curse must have been intentional!!”

"Really?" Arthur said disdainfully, "But everyone knows that I have no talent because I am just a Muggle!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "Muggle".

"This is a fact!" Clydia became very excited, "You are indeed from a Muggle family! I know that maybe in that situation, you feel insulted! But I am just stating the facts! This is an objective existence Yes, it won’t exist just because I don’t say it!”

"Then you mean you don't mean any harm?!" Arthur almost laughed angrily.

"That's right! I just can't stand Nesta!" Clydia raised her head and said, "To you, I only stated the facts!"

Arthur glared at her, the hidden meaning of this sentence was, 'You are not worthy enough for me to be malicious to you'!

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked directly to the entrance of the Black Forest without saying anything.

"Stop! You haven't apologized yet!" Claudia shouted.

Arthur turned his head and said calmly: "I believe you are telling the truth, but in that situation and context, even if you have no malice, you still insulted me!"

Just as Clydia was about to say something, she was interrupted by Arthur. He continued: "No matter what you think, I did not tear your robe in the restaurant on purpose. But you were also insulted that time. , we are even, no one needs to apologize!"

"you're lying!"

Clydia was reluctant and still pointed her wand at Arthur, and sparks even popped out of the tip of the wand.

Arthur also took out his wand, frowned and said, "Don't go too far!"

Just when the two were about to throw curses at each other, a calm voice sounded.

"Do you want to have a duel before confinement?"

Barebone didn't know when he stood beside them.

Arthur and Clydia quickly put down their wands.

"Miss Bursted, mature language is an art. I suggest you study hard." Barebone said tactfully.

Clydia was very unconvinced and was about to retort when she heard Baribone say to Arthur: "Mr. Curry, as an Englishman, you should know how to be a gentleman and never argue with a lady."

"Okay, Professor." Arthur responded.

Clydia felt that he had given in, so she snorted and stopped talking.

Arthur didn't bother messing around with her anymore.

Baribone stared at the two people for a while, saw that they had calmed down, and said, "Let's set off."

Then we headed towards the Black Forest.

"Professor, what needs to be done during this confinement?" Arthur followed, asking in confusion.

Baribone didn't look back and said, "Clean up the clutter around the perimeter."

"Scrap?"

"Clean up?!"

The last sentence was said by Clydia. She frowned tightly, "Are you asking me to be the cleaner?!"

"Yes, Miss Bursted." Barebone said calmly, "The Black Forest needs to be cleaned regularly, such as the excrement of certain creatures, which is often poisonous and will affect the survival of other animals and plants."

"What?!" Clydia was shocked, with a look of resistance written on her face. It seemed that Flint had not told her beforehand.

"Not only that, there are also some dark creatures that reproduce wildly and destroy the ecology, such as spiders." Baribone continued.

Clydia was almost ready to turn around and go back. She protested loudly: "You can't let underage wizards face this!!"

"To be honest, I really don't want you to face it, but this is the principal's request, and I can't violate it." Barebone spread his hands and passed the blame to Dumbledore.

"I will write to my grandfather!! Ask the school board to remove Dumbledore!"

"I support you. To be honest, I don't like some of the principal's actions, but I'm a soft-spoken person."

"I'm going to depose you too!"

"Oh, this is really bad news. Then I think that before I am dismissed, I may be able to assign you more tasks such as cleaning up excrement or spiders and snakes."

"don't want!!!"

While Barebone was leading the two of them toward the Black Forest and chatting with Clydia, Arthur was thinking about another problem.

Does the huge Hogwarts still need students to clean up the Black Forest during confinement?

Shouldn't a professional be hired to do this?

Arthur looked at the entrance to the black forest ahead, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.

No one needs to be supervised here?

He cast his gaze to the hillside to the side. There seemed to be... a small house there?

Arthur frowned, thinking hard.

But where did the hut come from, and why do you have such strange ideas? !

But he always had a familiar feeling of déjà vu, as if his subconscious told him that there was indeed a person responsible for guarding this place.

But who is that person?

Was he expelled from Hogwarts?

With such questions, the three of them slowly walked into the black forest.

On the hillside, the moonlight fell like water, like a dream.
