The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 119 Residents of the woods

Hagrid led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, raised his finger to a hidden path in the forest, and said to them, "Since you are curious about what is in the forest... then let's go!"

Albert and the others looked into the woods one after another. There was a dead forest in their field of vision. A cold wind blew from the forest, causing the four of them to tremble and shiver together.

"Hagrid, aren't you ready?" Albert asked aloud. He thought that Hagrid would take up a weapon and enter the Forbidden Forest with his bare hands. Isn't it unreasonable.

"Ready?" Hagrid tilted his head, as if thinking about what Albert meant. For a moment, he patted his chest with his big palm and said to himself, "As long as you are with me, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will harm you."

Albert gave Hagrid a thumbs up and praised: "It seems that not everyone can be a hunting ground manager."

"That's natural."

Hagrid walked ahead, and Albert and the others quickly followed.

The forest was dead silent, and the ground was covered with thick snow. The movement of the short-legged people was greatly hindered, and it was particularly difficult for them to walk.

"Thank you for wanting to catch rabbits in this environment." Albert pulled his boots out of the snow, and he could feel the snow pouring into the boots.

"Catch rabbits?" Hagrid stopped and turned his head to look at Albert and his group, "What rabbits are you catching."

"It's nothing, the last time we came here, we found a hare." George muttered, "We're going to go fishing at Black Lake recently."

"Hagrid, where are you going to take us?" Fred glared at George and asked off topic.

"Take you around and learn about the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid pointed to the surrounding snow, "It's always been like this here, you know."

"I heard that there are trolls in the Forbidden Forest." Li Jordan asked suddenly, "Is this true?"

"Forest trolls? They are in the depths of the forbidden forest, and it may take a few days to walk." Hagrid said confidently, "Even if you encounter trolls, you don't have to worry, I can defeat them with my bare hands. ."

"There are really trolls here?" Albert said in surprise.

In fact, Albert did not doubt whether Hagrid could defeat the troll,

After all, this man with the blood of a giant belongs to a character who can walk sideways in the Forbidden Forest.

"There used to be, and there are quite a few. After Dumbledore took over as Headmaster, he decided to drive trolls far away from Hogwarts. He didn't like those stupid guys," explained Hagrid. It's stupid and dangerous to the vast majority of students."

"I think the principal knew that some students would enter the forest out of curiosity, so he drove away all the dangers in the vicinity to avoid accidents for the students." Fred guessed.

"It makes sense." Several people agreed.

"What I'm more curious about is, how can there be a road here?" Albert pointed to the fork in the road ahead, "This is not like a beast trail."

"Most of the roads here were created by me." Hagrid said proudly. "Of course, some were originally animal trails."

For the next period of time, Hagrid led them around the forest without encountering any danger or seeing any magical creatures.

There are no so-called beasts in the woods, and there are no interesting things, only the cold and dead silence of winter.

Reminds Albert of the adventures he had seen before. Behind the thrilling adventures, there are often boring journeys day and night.

In the dense bushes, there is a rare clearing, and the sun shines from the branches, showing a golden yellow in the clearing.

Albert's gaze fell under an old pine oak with an unnaturally raised area. He walked over, pushed aside the snow layer above, and dug out a mushroom from it?

No, not much like mushrooms, this stuff should be called mushrooms.

"Hagrid, do you think this thing is edible?" Albert handed the mushroom he found to Hagrid.

"This? What are you doing with this stuff?" Hagrid couldn't help scratching his head, but nodded and explained, "Okay, the taste is okay, but I don't eat this stuff, it's usually only available in winter, and the quantity It is relatively rare, and it is very laborious to dig.”

Don't eat this stuff?

Albert's mouth twitched, staring at the thing in his hand, he felt that this thing was a bit like...

"What are you digging for?" George asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I heard that this thing is delicious when baked." Albert coughed lightly, bent down and dug out a smaller flower in the snow. Using his wand, he turned a branch into a bag, threw the dig into the bag, and stuffed it back into his robe pocket.

"Roasted, delicious?" Hagrid raised his eyebrows, "I haven't tried it."

"Ahem." Albert changed the subject, "Hagrid, are you taking us around the outside of the woods?"

"The Forbidden Forest is very big, and you won't be able to play for a few days." The embarrassment on Hagrid's face was hidden under his beard, and no one else could see it.

After walking for a while, Albert heard the gurgling sound of running water in the distance, there was a stream nearby, and it was not frozen?

Hagrid suddenly stopped, raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop, his eyes fixed on the figure not far away, and he shouted: "Who is there, come out."

"Hagrid? Why are you here?" The one who spoke was a witch who seemed to know Hagrid.

"Who are you?" Hagrid's face was a little embarrassed, apparently forgetting the other person's name.

Albert looked at the visitor curiously. This was a witch with short gray-white hair and a protruding chin.

"Wilmina Grapland." The witch introduced herself: "We've met several times."

"Oh, hello, Graplan." Hagrid patted his head embarrassedly. He had seen each other several times in Professor Kettleb. Graplan is also an expert in magical biology, and occasionally communicated with each other. .

"Hagrid, what are you doing here?" The witch Grapland's eyes fell on the four students behind Hagrid. "They are Hogwarts students!"

"This..." Hagrid was quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say. It was obviously against the rules for him to bring Albert and a few people into the woods.

"Ahem, ma'am, Hagrid actually brought us here to dig for matsutake mushrooms." Albert took out what he had just dug out of his pocket, "by the way, to satisfy our curiosity."

"Matsutake?" Grapland's eyes fell on the mushroom in Albert's hand, and he looked at Hagrid suspiciously.

The latter nodded awkwardly, pretending it was the way it was.

Grapland did not continue to ask questions. She was not a professor at Hogwarts, and she did not say much in this regard. After chatting with Hagrid for a while, she said goodbye and left, preparing to visit Professor Kettleb.

"What is the lady doing here?" George asked curiously.

"In order to visit Professor Kettlebo, they are all experts in magical creatures. I have seen her a few times at Professor Kettlebo's place." Hagrid scratched his head and said, "I heard that Professor Kettlebo's bird The snake eggs have hatched, and I'm going to give her a few."

"By the way, can you really make a lie out of your mouth?" Fred looked at Albert angrily and said, "It seems that I can't believe your nonsense in the future."

"My name is wit, understand?" Albert emphasized again and again. "Do you know what wit is?"

"Also, we did dig up matsutake mushrooms. It is said that charcoal-grilled mushrooms taste good. It would be great if we could dig some." Albert had never tasted matsutake mushrooms before, so he was a little curious that roasted matsutake mushrooms really tasted as good as the rumors said. .

"Ahem, that's not the point, why did the witch come to visit Professor Kettlebo?" Fred said curiously. "Does the Professor of Conservation Magical Biology live in the woods?"

"Professor Ketelber is indeed temporarily living in the forest." Hagrid coughed dryly and reminded, "However, I think we should go back."

"Didn't you say that the Forbidden Forest is dangerous?" Lee Jordan asked rhetorically.

"Professor Ketelber lives on the outskirts of the forest, and the magical creatures he raises need an open space to move around." Hagrid coughed lightly: "Okay, I think we should go back."
