Chapter 395: Unrest in the Forbidden Forest

() "Harry ... is it getting warmer around? Or is it ... it's my illusion?"
Ron didn't feel wrong because many little wizards noticed changes in ambient temperature. To be precise, every few steps they take will increase the ambient temperature.
After everyone followed Hagrid for a short distance along the forest path, the students wearing scarves had to untie them.
"Hagrid, what did you get?" Hermione asked nervously as she shoved her scarf into her schoolbag.
Yes, she couldn't calm herself, because the temperature here was not what it should be in the woods. If she were to rise a little higher, she would be really afraid that she would need to face a terrible forest fire.
"It's almost here," Hagrid looked calm, and he even had the mystery to spare. "Those little guys get along well ... Of course, maybe you already feel it, just a little hot."
However, even though everyone felt like they were in the oven, the forest was still as dim as ever. The flame that everyone expected, but there was no sign of it.
After walking for about ten minutes, when Haige took everyone to take another turn. Immediately, the little wizards immediately noticed that several large wooden boxes were discharging in the dark place ahead.
The flame-like heat seemed to be emitted from those wooden boxes.
Most of the students in the two colleges stared at the wooden boxes carefully under the cover of tree trunks. Most people's eyes flashed with surprise and surprise.
"Don't you think it's incredible?" Hagrid smiled happily. "Come, come closer, come closer-they're all gentle, hardly dangerous, and good-tempered."
"A box made of wood?" Ron asked puzzledly. "At such a high temperature, why aren't those boards up? What's in it?"
"Good question!" Hagrid stepped forward, reached out and patted one of the wooden boxes, "I will open them in a moment, but before that, I have to tell you something-"
"I want to make a special note," he paused, earnestly, "the little guys here are very precious and not very strong, so be careful. Then ... these little guys are all made by your Mike From Professor Lane, he said-girls might like them! "
The voice didn't fall, and there was a buzzing humming around immediately.
As a professor, Maca is basically the most popular in Hogwarts. Of course, his popularity does not all come from his new ancient runic lessons, but more from his legendary experience.
After all, Hogwarts has never had a professor as young as him!
According to Hagrid, everyone was curious. The three of Hermione reassured slightly with Hagrid's words.
"Okay, then I'm going to open the box. Everyone looks carefully--"
At the same time he said this, he had lifted the top of the wooden box. Looking at his lightness, it seemed that none of these covers were nailed, but they were just casually placed on top.
When the wooden box was gently opened by Hagrid, the students who were close by immediately caught a hint of warm redness. There seemed to be small things moving in that wooden box.
"Classmates behind—" Hagrid beckoned. "Get closer, it's okay!"
He said, but he didn't stop. I saw that he extended his hand into the box that was constantly radiating high temperature around him, and the next moment, a cute little red creature was raised by him.
"Oh my God!" Hermione couldn't help but sighed, "Cat?"
In front of everyone's eyes, Hagrid's neck was a red kitten with no trace of mottled body. In Hagrid's hand, it was very cleverly motionless, just looking around smartly with those big jewel-like orange eyes.
To be honest, everyone is very strange, why can Hagrid hold it directly in his hand?
Judging by the temperature they felt, the kitten should be as hot as magma. How could it be easily carried in this hand?
"As you can see, this little guy is very good and not very afraid of people." Hagrid said with great interest. "Seriously, it was the first time when Professor McLean handed them over to me. See this creature. "
"But Professor McLean has introduced them in detail to me. It is said that they are called 'Fire Spirit Cats' and they are a very rare creature-at least I have never heard of them."
"... but they look beautiful, don't they?" Hagrid took two steps forward and stretched his arms to show the kitten in his hand to the class.
"Professor Hagrid," Hermione said brightly, "isn't it hot?"
"Of course, it's not hot at all ..." Hagrid seemed glad that someone could ask, "In fact, their body temperature is not much different from that of ordinary cats. The reason why we feel very hot-yes, the more The hotter you get closer to them-in fact, this high temperature is not real. "
"It doesn't really exist?" Harry looked at the kitten questioningly, wondering, "What do you mean?"
"According to Professor McLean, this sensation originates from the soul." Hagrid said in a mysterious tone first, and then smiled again in the next second. "Well, of course, in general, only let us 'It feels like it's hotter, it won't hurt anything.'
"Although this heat makes us immediately think of flames, but this little guy is actually afraid of flames. Remember what I said before? They don't like bright places, let alone flames ..."
Having said that, Hagrid suddenly beckoned the students.
"Well, then, who wants to hug it first?"
The little wizards have seen Hagrid touching it unscathed, and this little animal that looks exactly like a cat also looks very cute, and many people can't hold it.
However, just then, there was a commotion in the deep forest. Immediately afterwards, the sensitive person suddenly felt that the ground under his feet began to shake slightly.
The students who noticed this change immediately became a little flustered, because the vibration was expanding with time, and it seemed that something was rushing towards them.
Hagrid frowned, turned his head back sharply, and looked through the gap between the trees.
But this is a forest after all, and the trees are so dense that you can't look far with a pair of eyes alone. He was not observing with his eyes, but listening with his ears.
"... is a horse? There are a lot of them ... what's wrong with them?" Hagrid listened carefully, and hurriedly greeted the students of the two colleges, even if he didn't waste time pondering, Don't panic, walk back along the path when you come-there is only one road, don't worry about getting lost! Move, move all-"
At his urging, the students turned around in a hurry and left quickly outside the forest. Because he just walked like a walk when he came, he hurried back up, so he ran out of the forbidden forest within a few minutes.
By the side of the forest, Hagrid did not continue to follow everyone, but stopped.
"Harry, take everyone back to the castle!" He shouted later. "If you meet other students on the road, let's get together and notify Professor McGonagall as soon as possible!"
"Hagrid, what happened?" Harry asked back loudly.
"Horsemen! There are a lot of them-abnormal!" Hay muttered briefly, then waved at him again, "Go ahead, I'll go back and see the situation!"
After all, he turned without hesitation, plunging into the dim forbidden forest, and soon disappeared in Harry's vision.
At the same time, two figures in the running crowd behind the three of Harry slowed down and looked at them.
"Hermione, you and Ron follow everyone first, and I'll see too--" Harry said as he wanted to rush back, but Hermione dragged him a poke.
"What are you talking about! I have to go too--" Hermione frowned.
"And me!" Ron continued.
"You guys, aren't you playing the role of chief now?" Harry retorted seriously. "We certainly can't all enter the forest. Someone has to inform Professor McGonagall! Other students can't do that either. Leave it alone— "
After all, it hasn't been peace recently, and we must treat it carefully when this unexpected situation occurs. All three present were clear that Harry's decision was fine.
"Then-you have to be careful, don't be reckless!" Hermione instructed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I understand. "Harry nodded immediately.
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, said nothing more, turned around and chased the classmates towards the castle.
"Speaking of which, maybe the Auror investigation team of the Ministry of Magic might really come in handy?" Harry muttered in his mouth, moved with his feet, and ran to the Forbidden Forest again.
Although Hagrid said he was a horse, it wasn't clear whether it was Harry or not. If it was a horseman, he had encountered it in the Forbidden Forest before, and it did not seem to be malicious to the wizard.
As Hagrid said, the horse community has been with Hogwarts for a long time. Although the exchanges between the two parties are not many, they have always been well-water-free.
The horsemen didn't walk halfway through the forest, and Hogwarts rarely ran into the Forbidden Forest except Hagrid. After so many years have passed, the two sides have always been in peace, so this time, there should not be any inexplicable conflict.
At least for the moment, Harry was speculating.
