Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

274. Chapter 274, the second key to the whereabouts

    In the dark, Ivan 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, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione all had the experience of entering the Forbidden Forest late at night.

    But those experiences are very bad.

    Harry and Hermione were confined in the first grade.

    They went to Forbidden Forest late at night with Hagrid and Malfoy to find a unicorn injured by Voldemort, and Harry even saw Voldemort himself at the time.

    Ivan chased Peter Pettigrew into Forbidden Forest a month ago.

    In addition to dealing with Peter, he also fought against the horrible Acromantula. In the end, he burned the Acromantula leader Aragog's Lair and hundreds of Acromantula in a fire. These monsters must now hate him for being hungry.

    Acromantula's highly intelligent, and very vengeful, if you let them know that Ivan once again into Forbidden Forest, will certainly flock to him and desperately.

    Fortunately, they did not go to the territory of Acromantula.

    Under the leadership of Sirius', they ran deeper along the path of the gut.

    Forbidden Forest is dark and silent. Under the faint light of 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, Ivan saw a rushing, meandering stream at the end of the road, and they went up and down for more than an hour, getting farther and farther from the castle.

    Five of them have entered the heart of the Forbidden Forest. On both sides of the stream are tall, unchanging trees. 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. Come to the magical creature of drinking water.

    Behind a dark green rock, Ivan discovered 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.

    Ivan was just getting close, and it quickly got out and fled to the distance.

    If it weren't for the important things waiting for himself, Ivan wanted to catch this guy. You should know that the scaly skin of the deformed lizard is a very precious magic material that can be used as a wallet or a storage bag. The bag made of multi-scale material will automatically shrink when the stranger approaches, and it is difficult to be hidden in the body. Others found out.

    Used with Extension Charm, it is definitely one of the necessary equipment for the wizard.

    Ivan had a pity, and they walked forward for a while, taking a short break near a river full of round stones.

    "We are coming soon, and this is the territory of Centaur."Sirius carefully checked the surroundings. “When I avoided the dementor and the Ministry of Magic last summer, I kept hiding in Forbidden Forest, looking for food here. But I rarely come near here, and Centaurs don't like humans coming close. ”

    “I saw in the book that Centaur is very disgusted with the wizard!”Hermione looked around nervously, worried, "What if they attack us?"

    "i don't think this is going to happen, although Centaur is not very friendly to humans, but generally does not actively attack." ”Sirius explained, “They just don’t talk to us, but if they want to talk and talk, they are still willing to do this, telling you about the fate, warnings and the like they see from the sky.”

    "I and Ivan have all recorded the trajectory of this semester constellation, I hope I can use it."Hermione said with relief: "In addition, I have studied their lifestyles and customs."

    “Centaur is 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 followed, breathing a little heavier than usual. "I and Ivan have seen a Centaur called Firenze, and he is willing to help humans."

    "I have to say that the guy is an alternative in the Centaur tribe."Sirius smiled and said, "But it is trustworthy. I have known him for a long time. When I was a student, I and James, Remus, and Peter often ventured into Forbidden Forest. He was still a little pony, and we met at that time. ”

    "I heard from Firenze that he seems to miss the articles, food, and all sorts of interesting stories that you brought to him."

    "He is very interested in the human world. What is common in our eyes is very novel to him."Sirius recalled, "But only himself, the other Centaur is still very stubborn and easily does not touch humans. Compared with them, the Merpeople who lived in the lake in front of the city gate had to enlighten a lot. They actively communicated with us and used the things in the lake to change the things that the wizard made. ”

    "Merpeople ?!"

    "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 the four of us. There are a lot of high-level magic materials. They seem to want to tell us something…"Sirius frowned and continued. “I don't understand the language of Merpeople. Remus learned a bit. He said that the Merpeople let us enter the water, as if anything is below. Unfortunately, we did not do that in the end. ”

    Ivan was silent when he heard Sirius' words.

    This is really weird. Why do the Merpeoples want Sirius to get under the water, is there anything below? !

    Since knowing Gryffindor's secret treasure key in the Centaur tribe, he rethought the four founders left behind tips.

    According to the same line of thinking, it is not difficult to think that Merpeople may also have 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.

    Ivan sighed. It seems that after getting the key fragment of the Centaur tribe, he still has to learn the language of Merpeople and try to communicate with them.

    “Merpeople live in the lake in front of the castle?!”Harry said with amazement, "I never knew this, I thought there was only giant squid."

    “Hogwarts has a lot of secrets waiting for people to explore. We found a lot in the four years, but certainly not all!”Sirius looked at Harry and said with relief, "The secrets left are just a few of you to dig."
