Chapter 99 Footprints in the Forbidden Forest

Kyle, who didn't find any clues, returned to the big tree.

Just when he was hesitating about what to do to see the gap, Yaya suddenly ran over, opened his mouth and bit his robe.

"Don't mess with Fangya." Kyle lowered his head and touched its head and said, "Now is not the time to play."

But Yaya didn't care about this, and pulled him to Hagrid's side, then used his front paws to pry away the fallen leaves on the ground.

Underneath the fallen leaves, two rows of footprints were clearly visible.

"This is..." Kyle took a deep breath.

"Hagrid! Look! There are footprints here!"

After hearing Kyle's voice, Hagrid quickly lowered his head. He also saw the two rows of footprints.

"Good job, Fang!"

Hagrid touched Fang's head and complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier."

After Yaya heard this, the dog's face actually showed an aggrieved expression, and he slapped Hagrid's trousers with his front paws.

It was wet there, and there was a ring of obvious tooth marks.

Obviously, Yaya had tried his best to remind him, but Hagrid was too focused on the tree trunk to notice.

In desperation, it found Kyle.

"Sorry Yaya, I wronged you." Hagrid quickly apologized after noticing this.

It turns out that not every pet is like Fawkes. Hagrid’s words made Yaya feel better, and he lay there happily wagging his tail.

Kyle also took out a piece of dried Motla rat meat and fed it to Yaya as a reward, then squatted next to him and observed the footprints.

There are two rows of footprints, and they are very messy. It seems that someone had a fierce battle here.

The outer circle of footprints was normal and looked like the size of an adult, but the row of footprints closer to the tree was different.

They are very large, almost twice the size of a normal person, and they look like they belong to Hagrid...

No, this is Hagrid's.

Kyle suddenly remembered that he had seen such footprints in the pumpkin patch. They were exactly the same size, and even the texture of the soles were exactly the same.

Kyle frowned and said, "Hagrid, have you been here before?"

"Impossible." Hagrid said with certainty: "I will definitely not forget such a big tree if I have been here, but I have no impression at all now."

"Then how do you explain this?" Kyle pointed to the big footprint and said, "The patterns on it are exactly the same as your shoes."

"What did you say?" Hagrid leaned down hard and saw the footprints clearly.

Then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost: "This is impossible!"

"I've never been here, I promise!"

Then he seemed to think of something and said quickly: "Could it be that I accidentally left it just now?"

"Unlikely." Kyle shook his head.

Freshly left footprints are not hidden under fallen leaves.

And... Kyle touched the soil at the edge of the footprints again. It was already very hard there. If it had just been stepped on, the soil should be soft.

"That's it for today." Kyle stood up and said, "Let's go back and ask Principal Dumbledore. He might know what's going on."

Hagrid was completely confused at this moment. He became a little more awake after hearing Dumbledore's name. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Dumbledore must know."

Kyle took out his wand and used a cutting spell to remove the footprints and the surrounding soil.

Then he dug up another corroded tree trunk and used the floating spell to lead them outside the Forbidden Forest.

On the way back, Hagrid was still walking at the front, but now his mind was very confused and he seemed a little absent-minded.

"By the way, Hagrid." Kyle asked curiously, "How did you know that the unicorn cub was missing?"

"Professor Kettleburn told me." Hagrid said: "Originally it was him who came this time, but the unicorn who lost his cub was in a very violent mood. He needed to look at him at all times and couldn't get rid of him at all. Get out of the way."

Kyle was stunned.

Professor Kettleburn is also a famous master of magical beasts and one of Newt's few friends. If it were him, then there would be no problem.

However, unlike Newt, Professor Kettleburn's character is more reckless and hasty, which has resulted in him now only having one arm and half a leg.

Kyle still can't figure out why this professor was sorted into Hufflepuff. No matter how you look at it, Gryffindor is more suitable for him.

The Sorting Hat was definitely drinking fake wine at the time.

On the way back, they met a centaur again, but not Ronan, but a young centaur with platinum hair.

"Hey, Hagrid, why do you look so absent-minded?" The other party said first: "This is not possible. The Forbidden Forest at night is very dangerous. Don't forget that you have a pony with you."

"Oh, Firenze... yes, you are right." Hagrid patted his head, turned to Kyle and said, "Sorry Kyle, I was a little confused just now."

"It doesn't matter." Kyle smiled and said, "I believe that with you following us, the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will definitely not harm us."

"Thank you." Hagrid also showed a smile.

"Are you confused?" The centaur named Firenze looked at Hagrid, his eyes were shockingly blue, "Are you in any trouble?"

"I don't know if it's trouble." Hagrid scratched his hair and said, "Filenze, have you seen me in the Forbidden Forest before?"

"A lot," Firenze said. "I see you almost every week."

"That's not what I mean." Hagrid pointed to the direction they came from, "I mean... there, next to the huge chestnut tree."

"I think I understand what you mean." Firenze raised his head and said, "Mars is normal today."

"Okay, I knew that was the case." Hagrid said a little irritably, "Can't you just say it...forget it, let's go."

Hagrid walked past Firenze, and Kyle gave Firenze a thoughtful look.

The centaur named Ronan said the same thing before.

Mars is normal...

Is this normal?

Firenze did not leave immediately, but followed them until Hagrid took Kyle to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

…

Ahead was the lair of the Moon-Child Beasts. Looking at the Moon-Child Beasts dancing in the moonlight, Kyle subconsciously thought of the scene of their first night outing, when they were almost caught by Hagrid...

Um?

Kyle suddenly stopped. If he remembered correctly, Hagrid must have gone to the Forbidden Forest via this road at that time.
