Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 61 A must-have tool for patrolling the Forbidden Forest at night



"Is everyone here?" Filch asked at the door, a lamp in his hand, but Mrs. Norris did not follow him.

"It's all here." Aaron pointed to the people behind him, "Two Slytherins, three Gryffindors.

If there are other unlucky ones, it's another matter. "

"Let's go!" Filch didn't say much, and led them out of the hall, "It's a pity that we can't use the old-fashioned way of punishment. When I was in confinement, I had to tie my thumbs and hang them in the basement. I really miss those people. Scream."

"Is this too abnormal?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "Are those punishments for teachers? As far as I know, the students in the school are all minors!"

"What do you know? At least Hogwarts was the most stable during that time.

There are not so many mischievous, night-out students like you. ’ Filch sneered. ‘I still have those chains in my office, and I often oil them, maybe someday. "

The three Gryffindors showed horror on their faces, and they all made a silent decision in their hearts. They couldn't make any more mistakes in the future, and even if they made mistakes, they would definitely not be caught by Filch.

The current punishment is enough for them to drink a pot, but who knows if Filch will suddenly convulse and punish them in the old-fashioned way one day, just listening to these few words will make their scalps feel numb.

Draco also looked a little unnatural, but he was not worried. He had a rich and powerful father, and even decades ago, the school would not have dared to punish him.

Aaron smiled indifferently, he was a man who obeyed the rules, even if he broke the rules, Filch would not be able to catch him.

What happened this time was a complete accident. They brought a professor to block the door. No one could stand it, and they had no chance to escape.

"Mr. Filch, I personally feel that Hogwarts can't tolerate you. Azkaban really needs talents like you."

Filch's footsteps paused slightly, "I also thought about being transferred there to be a jailer or something, but unfortunately I'm not needed there, and their methods of treating prisoners are much more cruel, which I will never be able to achieve." .”

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched. He just said that symbolically, dare this guy really have this idea.

Several people walked out of the castle, walked through a meadow in the dark, and came to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. The illuminated windows of Hagrid's hut were particularly conspicuous in the night.

"What are we doing here?" Draco asked, "Aren't we in confinement?"

"Yes! I'm in confinement." Filch had a gleam of joy on his face, "Didn't Professor McGonagall tell you? This forest is your confinement room, and you are contracted by it.

You're going to be with Hagrid tonight, he just has a little business to attend to. "

"It's okay." Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With Hagrid leading this confinement, it should be easier.

"Forbidden Forest?" Draco's expression changed wildly, his voice trembling, "Aaron, please tell me this is a joke, we can't go there, let alone go there in the middle of the night."

"Are you afraid?" Ron teased, "Malfoy is afraid of a forest."

"Aren't you afraid?" Aaron asked meaningfully, and then gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Weasley, you are really brave. I hope you won't be scared to pee your pants in a while."

"What do you mean?"

"Weasley, you idiot.

Dumbledore clearly said that students cannot enter this forest, do you think this is a joke?

Let me tell you generously, this forest is very dangerous, even there are werewolves. "

As soon as Draco finished speaking, a howl of wolves came from the Forbidden Forest, probably because the full moon piercing through the clouds stimulated them to transform.

Ron shivered, subconsciously clenched his sleeves tightly, and dared not say anything.

"There are not only werewolves in the woods." Filch turned around and made a knife, "That's for sure."

Hagrid walked out of the hut, holding a lantern of the same style as Filch's, followed by his pet Fang.

There were light tears on his face, as if he had just cried.

"It's a bunch of troublemakers, Hagrid," said Filch.

Hagrid didn't speak, but took a choked breath, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

He walked to the fire, put a bag of arrows on his shoulder, and checked the crossbow again.

"My God! Are you still sad for that dragon?"

Hagrid raised his head and glanced at Filch, "Noble is gone, and Dumbledore arranged for him to go to Romania to live in groups."

"That's not very good." Aaron smiled, "It can be with its kind, and you don't have to worry about being unable to support it, let alone worry about whether your house will be demolished suddenly by it."

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." Hagrid looked at Abe who was following Aaron's feet, "Are you willing to let Abe leave you to live in a group?"

"Don't even think about it.

It was raised by me. "

"Then it's over.

Norbert is still a baby, what if other dragons bully him?What if it doesn't like living in groups? "

"Ah..." Aaron frowned, "Actually, you can think about it like this. Maybe it likes to live in groups, and maybe other dragons will protect that little baby."

Hagrid nodded, but the frustration on his face didn't dissipate in the slightest.

"I said okay, you have to cheer up and don't be sad.

You have to go to the Forbidden Forest in a while! Filch said as he turned around and glanced at several people, "Good night, I hope you can come out safe and sound, otherwise I have to go in to collect your corpses." "

After speaking, Filch was about to walk towards the castle.

"Wait!" Aaron stopped him.

"Is there a problem?

If you ask me, you should die!

The punishment was set by Professor McGonagall, and I can't undo it. "

"No, Mr. Filch, you have misunderstood, the Forbidden Forest can't scare me.

In fact, I wanted to go in and have a look during the Christmas holidays, but Professor McGonagall disagreed at that time. "

"Then what are you calling me for?" Filch asked puzzledly, "You didn't mean to let me go in with you! That's really fantastic."

"No." Aaron shook his head, pointing to the lamp Filch was carrying, "I just want that.

It was the middle of the night, and the place we were going to was a dark forest. One light for six people was clearly not enough! "

"Oh!" Filch suddenly realized, "but what does it matter to me?

You asked for all this, didn't you?You should have thought of the present before you got into trouble. "

"Yes, yes, you are right, you have to consider the consequences before doing bad things.

But aren't we being punished now?

All it takes is a little lantern, don't you agree? "

"No, of course I won't agree." Filch sneered, "I don't have any sympathy for students who make mistakes, so don't expect me to help you, even a little bit."

"Forget it, Aaron, there's no need to look for him." Draco said angrily.

"Pull it down! The danger of this forest will increase significantly at night.

If you can't see clearly, you may walk into the lair of some ferocious beast. "

"No, the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will give me face." Hagrid puffed out his chest proudly. He had a good relationship with the creatures in the Forbidden Forest, so he said this confidently.

"Animals give you face, but what about plants?

You should know that animals are not the only dangers in a forest. "

Hagrid froze for a moment, thinking of the various injuries he had suffered because of the uneven road conditions in the Forbidden Forest, he didn't know how to refute.

But in this way, another lamp is necessary.

"Filch, look at this..."

"Hagrid, you don't have to persuade me, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"I'll buy it." Aaron said bluntly.

"This is property assigned to me by the school, and I have no right to sell it to you."

"Then rent the head office!"

"Hmph! I don't agree."

Aaron raised a finger, "One Galleon for one night."

"I admit that the price is fair, but I am not short of this money."

"Five Galleons."

"This..." Filch hesitated, he had nothing to spend, and he had saved a sum of money in Hogwarts for so many years, which was enough for his retirement.

But no one would dislike a lot of money, but seeing five students who made mistakes in front of him, he still gritted his teeth, "It's not about money."

"Ten Galleons, if you don't agree, forget it.

The big deal is that I will suffer a bit at that time, and I will use the fluorescent spell to illuminate, and I will still know this spell. "

"Wait, deal." Filch quickly put the oil lamp in Aaron's hand, for fear that he would regret it.

"Wait for a while." Aaron lifted Abe up, and put his hand into the pocket of his clothes under its reluctant gaze.After groping for a while, he took out a handful of Galleons, "No more, no less, exactly ten."

After the transaction was completed, Filch swayed away into the night with a handful of gold coins in his hand, while Aaron had an extra lantern emitting light in his hand.
