Chapter 76

The Forbidden Forest was deep and dark. Hagrid led Peter along a path hidden deep in the forest. He muttered:"To be honest, I shouldn't have taken you into the Forbidden Forest! You have to follow me closely so you don't get lost."!"

Peter looked at the stone bow and machete in Hagrid's hand, and asked with some uncertainty:"Hagrid, you only bring these two things, aren't you afraid of any accidents? After all, there are werewolves and other dangers in the Forbidden Forest. Animals exist!"

Hagrid shook his fist towards Peter and said proudly:"Don't worry, I can defeat those things with my hands, and I am already very familiar with the animals here, they will not be in danger! Of course, for you For these little wizards, this place is indeed very dangerous.

That's why Dumbledore repeatedly asked students not to enter the Forbidden Forest! This time, Catleburn was eager to see your phoenix, so he asked me to take you there. So if you are alone in the future, you can't go in by yourself! Do you understand?"

Hagrid seemed to have thought of something, and said with a somewhat painful expression:"Recently, two Gryffindor students have been trying to run into the Forbidden Forest. , I caught them several times, but these two little guys always pretended that they were just lost, just like what you said before! It really gave me a headache." When

Peter heard this, he couldn't help asking speculatively:"Are they? They look the same, and both have red hair?"

Hagrid looked at Peter in surprise,"Yes, they are a pair of guys who look exactly the same. Do you know them? They always cover for the other, and they almost succeeded. We've entered the Forbidden Forest! Fortunately, Yaya reminded me, otherwise these two naughty boys would have fooled me!"

Peter said with a smile:"They are twin brothers from the Weasley family, named George and Fred. Their brothers are all in Gryffindor, among them Bill Weasley graduated last year. Now Charlie Weasley, he is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team!"

Hagrid's eyes widened when he heard this Liang said happily:"It turns out they are the children of the Weasley family! I know their parents. These two little guys are so cunning. They lied to me and said they were from the Muggle world. They also said their last name was Weatherby! If they still disobey next time, I will send a letter to their parents!"

Peter laughed loudly when he heard this,"Hagrid, you have to pay attention, they are both famous for being troublemakers. They have already made friends with Peeves! They may try their best to enter the Forbidden Forest!"

Hagrid said with a headache:"Merlin, they actually made friends with Peeves? This has never happened before I've heard of things! I have to be careful, I can't let them succeed, otherwise they will be left alive in the Forbidden Forest one day! How should I explain to Arthur at that time!" The two of them walked along the path. Moving forward, it didn't take long before we came to a hut similar to Hagrid's. Hagrid knocked on the wooden door with his huge fist, and then shouted in a loud voice:"Sylvanus, we are here! Open the door quickly.!"

Slow footsteps soon came from the hut, and then an old but somewhat muscular old man opened the door. His eyes first saw Hagrid's huge figure, and then he noticed the almost covered little boy beside him, with a look of surprise and expectation on his face.

Kettleburn crossed Hagrid, came to Peter with a smile, and asked:"You are Peter York, I am Silvanus Kettleburn, if you chose the Care of Magical Creatures class in your third year , I should be your professor!"

Peter looked at the old man with only his left hand intact in front of him. The rest were prosthetic limbs made of wood, but he still stood tall and straight, showing that he was physically disabled and strong-willed. He politely shouted:"Hello, professor, I am Peter York, you can call me Peter! I like magical beasts very much, so I will definitely choose your course in the future!"

Kettleburn nodded happily after hearing this , anyone who likes magical animals is a good student in his eyes! He looked around Peter and asked impatiently:"Peter, where is your phoenix? I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Hagrid was used to Kettleburn forgetting his existence, so he turned to Peter and said:" That's what this old guy is like, he only has eyes for magical animals, and in the end he got himself into a mess and still can't stop. You'd better summon Field out quickly, otherwise he will die of panic."

Peter nodded with a smile. Head, Peter likes such a pure person. If he meets an old fox like Dumbledore, he will have a headache. He quickly summoned Field.

With an explosion of fire, Field appeared directly above Peter, then quickly stopped on Peter's shoulder.

When Kettleburn saw the phoenix, his eyes suddenly lit up. He dragged his feet with difficulty and observed the phoenix carefully, exclaiming:"It's so beautiful. I never thought I could see another phoenix in Hogwarts! It's so amazing. Got it"

"This is a boy, how old is he? Kettleburn asked excitedly, treating the phoenix as the same as a human being and directly addressing the person by name.

"His name is Field, he is indeed a boy, and he is only about 3 years old!"Peter replied.

Hagrid looked at Kettleburn standing at the door blankly, and quickly reminded:"We'd better go in first, Silvanus, you promised to show this child your bird and snake. ,do not forget!"

Kettleburn came back to his senses, looked at the phoenix on Peter's shoulder reluctantly, then stretched out his hand to welcome Peter:"Please come in first, this is the first time I have people here besides Dumbledore and Hagrid. The students are coming. Just treat it as your own home, don’t be too nervous!"

"Wow!"As soon as Peter came in, he found that this wooden house was different from Hagrid's. The space inside was very large, as big as two football fields! There were also many trees planted, and the space was divided into several areas!

Peter said in amazement:"Keitel Professor Byrne, you must have cast a traceless stretching spell here! Amazing! It's like coming to another space!"

Kettleburn looked at this eleven-year-old child in surprise. He heard Hagrid say that he was from the Muggle world, but he didn't expect to have such knowledge.

"I didn’t expect you to know the Traceless Stretching Spell! It’s not magical here, but you’d be even more surprised if you saw Newt Scamander’s chest!"Kettleburn waved his hand modestly.

Of course Peter knew about Newt Scamander's magical box. He pretended to be ignorant and said:"I heard that Mr. Scamander's box is filled with stuff he brought from all over the world. Rescued magical animals, is this true, Professor?"

Hagrid sat down on the sofa, making the wooden sofa make an overwhelming sound. He said first:"This is not the only thing. I have been in Newt's box, except that the entrance was too small and almost didn't get me stuck. , which is so huge that it can fit the entire Hogwarts Castle! I really don’t know how Newt did it? Kettleburn looked at Phoenix Field carefully and said without looking back:"I do know about this. When Newt Scamander was expelled for raising dangerous animals in school, it was the whole Hutch. Patch's students worked together to help him cast a spell so that his box could hold the magical animals he raised! Dumbledore was also a big help!"

After chatting for a whileFinally, Peter couldn't wait to ask:"Professor, I wonder where the birds and snakes you raised are. Can I go see them?"

Kettleburn nodded, dragged his heavy body, and led Peter to the North Branch. In the separated space, he said with a proud face:"There were only two of these birds and snakes in the beginning. After I have cultivated them for so many years, they have developed into a group! In the future, I will put them in the forbidden forest to live. Outside the Far East, this is the largest breeding ground for birds and snakes in Scotland!"
