Chapter 169: Creature in a teapot (2 in 1)

Silvanos Kettleborn became a little unbelievable.
　　 Two leg prostheses helped him gallop fast on the snow...Even the four-legged horsemen were far behind him.
　　 This makes him look like a "humanoid Gundam"!
In addition, the prosthetic arm on his right arm was holding the magic wand and swung it at a very fast speed... The spell that just blocked a big oak tree that couldn't hug three or four people, was directly used by him. ... This shameless old professor suddenly "shows his power" in the face of these horsemen!
　　 "Run!" At the same time, Professor Keitelburn waved at Matthew and the others with his only sound hand.
　　 The magic wand in the prosthesis was still waving desperately, blocking the horsemen who tried to rush over.
　　A wizard in a mere district, almost an enemy with dozens or even hundreds of horsemen.
　　 Matthew and the others didn't dare to turn their heads back, and ran toward the periphery of the forbidden forest lifelessly... Fortunately, the footprints on the ground gradually became more neat, so that they would not get lost in the forbidden forest.
　　 roars, horses hissing, howlings... It started to become more and more distant!
　　Only the voice of Professor Keitelburn, faintly sounded in their ears: "Quickly tell Professor Rozier all this!"
　　……
　　Heavy rubber boots, stepping in the snow.
　　 Every time they are pulled out of the snow, they almost consume all of their strength...
　　 This is a long and exhausting escape!
　　 Five Slytherin second-year students, they have different speeds...Matthew ran at the top, then Malfoy, then Knott, and finally Crabbe and Gore...
　　 The two little fat guys looked out of breath, and they couldn't keep up.
　　 I don’t know how far I ran, anyway, the edge of the forbidden forest is getting closer and closer!
　　 "Horseshoes!" Draco Malfoy screamed suddenly, although it sounded feeble.
　　 Indeed, the sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow once again sounded from behind them.
　　Perhaps Professor Keitelburn has been solved by the horsemen; or maybe the number of horsemen is too much. Even with the help of the three prostheses, he cannot completely stop them in a short time...
　　 In short, the crisis of his fugitives seems to be approaching step by step.
　　 "Don't use magic!" Matthew once again warned several of his companions loudly, "Don't attack them!"
　　 At the same time, he took a deep breath, exhausted all his energy, and continued to run away in the direction of his footprints...
　　 The scene ahead seemed to become more and more familiar. They are very close, from the edge of the forbidden forest...
　　 Maybe just hold on for two or three minutes to reach Professor Keitelburn’s cabin. Once there, it should be, probably, probably safe...
　　 In fact, Matthew has no bottom in his heart, because he does not know whether the horses have the courage to break out of the forbidden forest...
　　 At the same time, the sound of horseshoes has become very close.
　　 A loud horse hiss!
　　 "Ah—" Vincent Crabbe let out a scream.
　　 He seems to have been taken away by something... without a doubt, a horseman.
　　 The horseman has caught up!
　　 There is no doubt that the horsemen don’t want these children to run away... they don’t want them to go to the castle to "breach".
　　 Crabbe’s screams moved further and further away from them.
　　He was taken away by the horsemen.
　　Draco Malfoy hesitated, thinking about whether to turn back and save Crabbe, his friend...
　　 But Matthew didn't look back, and continued to run very firmly in the direction of his footprints... For a moment, he moved a little apart from the companions behind him.
　　 suddenly heard a "bang" again, it seemed that someone had fallen.
　　 It was Gregory Gore. He accidentally kicked a wooden stake with his foot, and then he fell to the ground severely.
　　 With this fall, he was so tired that he couldn't climb anymore... Crabbe and Gore had such a figure, it was really difficult for them to escape such a long distance.
　　 As the hooves approached again, another horseman chased him up!
　　 Gore was also taken away by them.
　　……
　　The remaining team, there are only three people left.
　　 But they also saw the dawn of victory... The end of the forbidden forest was close at hand.
　　The mixed color of withered yellow, dark green and snow white disappeared from their eyes, and replaced by a white snow scene.
　　 They escaped the Forbidden Forest!
　　 But more and more horses are also chasing.
　　 The horses’ hoofs stopped suddenly, and they seemed afraid to leave the forbidden forest!
　　 However, Matthew had a bad feeling in his heart
　　 He trembling hands, reached into his waist, and took out his wand.
　　 "Swish...wish...wish..."
　　 A series of crisp sounds sounded from behind them.
　　 "Protego!" Matthew exclaimed without thinking.
　　 "Bang...bang..." Something seemed to hit Ma Xiu hard.
　　 is the arrow of the horseman...
　　 This was the same as Matthew had expected. He didn't think that the horsemen had chased here and had to watch them leave.
　　 Arrows are the most powerful means of attack for horsemen. Of course, using iron armor curse is the most reasonable choice at this time.
　　 On the other side, Theodore Knott and Draco Malfoy were not so lucky.
　　 Malfoy’s wand had fallen into the depths of the forbidden forest. As for Knott, Matthew felt that he had no courage to pick up the wand...
　　 The arrow shot at Matthew was blocked by Matthew's iron armor curse... However, the arrow shot at them hit the target accurately.
　　 Of course, the horses didn't attack their vitals... But Malfoy and Nott have fallen in a pool of blood.
　　 The horsemen stopped, grabbed Malfoy and Nott, and took them away.
　　 As for the rest, they continued to pursue their final target.
　　……
　　Matthew Wickfield successfully escaped the Forbidden Forest!
　　 After losing four companions and getting them all caught by horsemen.
　　 And, the horses didn’t even plan to let him go--
　　 A few majestic horsemen jumped out of the forbidden forest without any fear.
　　 In the next flat ground, their speed advantage will be more obvious!
Matthew didn't run towards the castle at all, because he knew very well that, on the one hand, he didn't have much strength left; on the other hand, if he galloped on this flat ground for no more than a hundred yards, he would be caught alive... …
　　 Without hesitation, he ran to Professor Keitelburn’s cabin.
　　 Out of the corner of his eye, I saw Arima once again aiming at him with a bow and arrow.
　　 "Armor bodyguard!" Matthew shouted again, but this time his voice was a bit weak.
　　 "When..." With a clear voice, Matthew only felt that his left hand holding his wand was shocked; the wand in his hand almost came off.
　　 Matthew can be sure that once the horseman tries to attack him with a bow and arrow again, his next iron armor curse will definitely be unstoppable.
　　 Fortunately, Professor Keitelburn’s cabin is close at hand.
　　 And fortunately, the professor of the magical animal protection class does not seem to have the habit of locking the door...
　　 Matthew quickly ran into it
　　 "Swish", an arrow shot on the door frame.
　　 Judging from the sound of footsteps, the number of horses leaving the Forbidden Forest is increasing, at least seven or eight...maybe there may be more than a dozen...
The nearest horseman 　　 was chasing after had arrived at the door of Professor Keitelburn’s cabin, and he was trying to get in.
　　 Matthew has found what he wants... On the round table of Professor Keitelburn, a delicate, antique little teapot.
　　 Almost a year ago, before entering the Forbidden Forest for the first time, Professor Silvanos Kettleborn once taught Matthew how to use this thing
　　 And now, it's time to use it.
　　 Without hesitation, he threw the whole teapot towards the door of the cabin.
　　 Fortunately, Professor Keitelburn swept away the snow in the area at the door...
　　 Only a clear sound was heard, and the teapot was crushed by Matthew.
　　 "Ah!" The horsemen surrounding the cabin let out an exclamation.
　　 Because of the broken teapot, something like a snake suddenly appeared.
　　 The thing grew bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it showed its true colors
　　 Its body length reaches almost 15 feet. It is a snake-like creature with feathers, wings and two legs.
　　 and very fierce, with a flick of his tail, he knocked the horseman trying to break into the hut to a dozen yards away.
The snake-shaped creature made a "hissing" cry, and then began to fight with the surrounding horsemen... The horsemen in the distance took out their crossbows and began to shoot arrows at it, but these arrows did not seem to target it. Cause too much damage...
　　 Even though Matthew has not been exposed to the magical animal protection class, he already knows exactly what this creature is based on some extracurricular materials:
　　Birds and snakes...a creature that can expand and contract at will, so it can not only fill up all the space, but also shrink its body according to the available space. So they can live in the teapot.
　　 Also, when provoked, they are very aggressive...
　　 There is no doubt that the horses have completely angered it.
　　 "Saved..." Matthew finally took a breath.
　　 But he will not pin all his hopes on the bird and snake...
　　 In fact, the reason why he broke into Professor Kettleborn's cabin had other intentions.
　　 After only a short break, he quickly walked to the fireplace that was still burning...
　　 Then, he reached out his hand and grabbed a handful of shiny green powder from the flower pot on the side.
　　 "Principal Vita Rozier's office!" He threw the powder into the flame in the fireplace, and then spoke clearly.
　　 Then, he walked straight into the flames and disappeared.
　　……
　　'S body seemed to be sucked into a huge washing machine, spinning around, very painful!
　　 The fireplaces in Professor Hogwarts’s office are the same, but they don’t usually visit in this way...because it is rude!
　　 Of course, Matthew has no time to take care of this.
　　 After almost ten seconds, his body finally calmed down, and then he rolled out of another fireplace
　　 "Who is it?" Professor Vita Rozier, the vice-principal, was sitting on the desk marking something... She looked up in surprise and looked at the boy "rolling" out of the fireplace.
　　 "Wickfield?" She said very surprised.
　　 "Professor Rozier...in the forbidden forest...horse riots...Professor Keitelburn is trapped in the forbidden forest..." Matthew said weakly.
　　 In fact, the long escape before, has completely consumed all of his physical strength...He only insisted on this because of the perseverance to survive.
　　 Professor Rozier's face changed slightly: "What is the specific situation?"
　　 But Matthew could not answer her anymore.
　　 Because he had lost consciousness because of being too tired, and then fainted in the arms of Professor Rozier.
　　……
　　 I don’t know how long I slept.
　　 "Matthew...Matthew...Matthew..." In his sleep, I faintly heard someone whispering his name.
　　 There is a pair of brown things flashing above his head. Matthew tried to reach out and grab it, but found that his arm was too heavy to lift.
　　 He blinked, and everything in front of him became clear.
　　 Hermione Granger's face appeared in front of him... The pair of brown things just now were actually Miss Granger's bright brown eyes.
　　 "Matthew!" Hermione exclaimed, with a happy smile on her face, "Neville, come here...Matthew is awake!"
　　 Matthew gave Hermione a dazed look, then looked around.
　　 Soon, he saw Neville Longbottom’s familiar face again.
　　 In addition, he realized that he was in the hospital, because he was lying on a hospital bed covered with white linen sheets. On the bedside table next to him, there were many bottles and cans of medicine...
　　 "What day is it now?" Matthew asked without thinking. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 "It's noon on Sunday, Matthew." Hermione answered hurriedly:
　　 "Would you like some chocolate...or drink some healing potions?"
　　 "Don't worry..." Matthew shook his head.
　　 I followed Professor Keitelburn into the Forbidden Forest. It was Saturday morning... That is to say, I had been unconscious for a day and a night.
　　 "What happened to Hogwarts... What happened to the horse rebellion... Where are we now..." He threw a series of questions again.
　　 "Calm down first, Matthew!" Neville quickly pressed Matthew's shoulder and comforted softly.
"We are in St Mungo now..." Hermione replied from the side, "Yesterday morning, Professor Rozier suddenly sent someone to evacuate us. She was planning to send us all to Diagon Alley... Neville and I heard that you were sent to St Mungo to be hospitalized, so we applied for it...Anyway, they were all in London!"
　　 "Evacuate..." Matthew frowned.
"Because of the horse rebellion..." Hermione continued, "All the teachers and students at Hogwarts were transferred safely... Except for Professor Kettleborn and several boys in your grade, their whereabouts are still unknown... "
　　 "How about Hogwarts?" Matthew asked softly.
　　 "Hogwarts has fallen!" Hermione's voice was slightly heavy:
　　 "Occupied by horsemen and dark wizards..."
