Vol 2 Chapter 273: The drop of the second key

In the dark, Avon saw the lighted windows on the Hagrid Cabin.
They are not close, but go in the other direction, in the breeze, slowly along a path that gradually hides into the depths of the black jungle.
In addition to Ron, Evan, Harry, and Hermione all had experience in entering the Forbidden Forest late at night.
But those experiences are very bad.
Harry and Hermione were once confined in the first grade.
In the middle of the night, Hagrid and Malfoy entered the Forbidden Forest to find the unicorn that was damaged by Voldemort. Harry even saw Voldemort himself at the time.
Ai Wen chased the little dwarf Peter into the Forbidden Forest a month ago.
In addition to dealing with Peter, he also fought a horrible eight-eyed giant spider. In the end, he burned the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider, Aragok, and hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders. These monsters must now hate him for hating death.
The eight-eyed spider has a high degree of intelligence and is very vengeful. If you let them know that Ai Wen once again enters the Forbidden Forest, he will surely flock to him and desperately.
Fortunately, they did not go to the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider.
Under the leadership of Sirius, they ran deeper along the path of the gut.
The black forest in the forbidden forest is silent. Under the faint light of the wand, everyone walked silently, close together, the atmosphere became more and more depressed, and the voice was pressed lower and lower, and no one knew what would be waiting for them.
Every time you move forward, you will encounter a fork.
It can be seen that Sirius is very familiar with the neighborhood. He does not hesitate much and chooses the right path directly.
Soon, Avon saw a rushing, meandering stream at the end of the road. They went up and down for more than an hour, getting farther and farther away from the castle.
Five of them have entered the core of the Forbidden Forest. On both sides of the stream are tall trees that are unchanging, and the ground is covered with thick moss and unknown plants. It seems that no one has been stepping for centuries, and can be seen from time to time. The magical creature that comes to drink.
Behind a dark green rock, Avon found a rare deformed lizard.
It is about ten inches long, with a silver-green pattern on its body, and it is still moving in the corner, as if it were the rock itself.
When Avon was just approaching, it quickly flew out and fled to the distance.
If it weren’t because of important things waiting for himself, Ai Wen wanted to catch this guy. You should know that the scales of the deformed lizards are very precious magic materials, which can be used as wallets or storage bags. The bag made of multi-scale materials will automatically shrink when the stranger approaches, and it is difficult to be hidden in the body. Others found out.
Used with the seamless stretch curse, it is definitely one of the essential equipment for the wizard.
Evan had a pity, and they walked forward for a while, taking a short break near a riverbank full of round stones.
"We are about to arrive soon. This is the territory of the Ma people." Sirius carefully checked around. "When I was hiding from the Dementors and the Ministry of Magic last summer, I kept hiding in the Forbidden Forest. I am looking for it here. Food. But I rarely come near here, and the horses don't like humans."
"I saw in the book that the Ma people are very disgusted with the wizard!" Hermione looked around nervously, worriedly saying, "What if they attack us?"
"I don't think this kind of thing will happen. Although the Ma people are not very friendly to humans, they generally do not take the initiative to attack." Sirius explained, "They just don't talk to us, but if they want to talk and talk, they still I am very willing to do this, telling you about the fate, warnings and the like that they see from the sky."
"I and Ivan have all recorded the trajectory of the constellation this semester, hoping to use it." Hermione said with relief, "In addition, I also studied their lifestyles and customs."
"The Ma people are very smart and they are in contact with them. Just remembering them and treating them as creatures equal to your status is enough!"
"Don't worry, Hermione, they are not as terrible as the ones written in the book!" Harry said, breathing a little heavier than usual. "I and Ivan have seen a horse named Ferenzer, he Very willing to help humanity."
"I have to say that the guy is an alternative in the Malay tribe." Sirius said with a smile, "but it is trustworthy. I have known him for a long time. When I was a student, I and James, Lai. James and Peter often ventured into the Forbidden Forest. He was still a little pony, and we met at that time."
"I heard from Ferenze, he seems to miss the items, food, and all kinds of interesting stories that the wizards brought to him."
"He is very interested in the human world. The things that are common in our eyes are very novel to him." Sirius recalled, "But only he himself, other horses are still very stubborn, not easy. In contact with humans, compared with them, the mermaids living in the lake in front of the city gates have to be enlightened a lot. They actively communicate with us and use the things in the lake to change what the wizard made."
"Mermaid?!"
"Yes, when James once fell into the lake, and they knew it, it was an unforgettable experience. I remember that they changed a lot of things with us, and there are a lot of high-level magic materials. They seem to I still want to tell us something." Sirius frowned and continued. "I don't understand the language of the mermaid. Remus learned a little. He said that the mermaid let us enter the water, as if something is below. Unfortunately, we In the end, it didn't do that."
When he heard Sirius, Evan was silent.
This is really weird. Why do the mermaids want Sirius to go under the water, what is there underneath? !
Ever since he knew that Gryffindor’s secret treasure was in the Malay tribe, he rethought the hints left by the Big Four.
According to the same line of thinking, it is not difficult to think that the mermaid may also hold a treasure key in his hand.
I just don't know who left it, and I don't know if it is split like Gryffindor.
Ai Wen sighed. It seems that after getting the key fragment of the Ma Tribe, he still has to learn the language of the mermaid and try to communicate with them.

Is there a mermaid in the lake in front of the castle?!
Harry said in surprise.
I never knew this. I thought there was only a giant squid inside.

"Hogwarts has a lot of secrets waiting for people to explore. We found a lot in the past four years, but certainly not all!" Sirius looked at Harry and said with relief, "The secrets left are just a few of you." Go to the excavation." (To be continued.)
