Chapter 88 An unexpected incident at the edge of the forbidden forest

As the weather gets colder, the little wizard becomes more and more lazy.

One day, they suddenly discovered that the entire Hogwarts became very warm!

Hogwarts is finally heated!

The third-year seniors, the Weasley twins George and Fred, have been pestering Lin Xia and Draco whenever they have free time recently, asking them to reveal some inside information about publishing papers.

Yes, when they learned that Lin Xia had a new paper, the Weasley twins gave Lin Xia another opening.

At the same time, they also got a disk for Draco. After all, Draco was also told by the professor that he was about to publish a paper.

But few people bet on Draco, and most young wizards were more enthusiastic about Lin Xia.

This time, without waiting for Lin Xia to find them, George and Fred came to their door and asked to cooperate with Lin Xia.

But Lin Xia rejected them.

"I'm sorry, this paper is still in the preparation stage and has not entered the review process, so even I don't know when it will be published."

Although George and Fred have never written a thesis, they also know that thesis is very complicated, and if it is in preparation, everything will be uncertain.

They came here mainly because they didn't want to give up and wanted to confirm with Lin Xia in person.

Lin Xia said: "The current preparation progress is beyond my control. Professor Sprout is still conducting tests, and I need her data report. If there is a delay, my progress will also be delayed.

Therefore, publishing it before Christmas is just a best assumption. In fact, it is very likely that it will not be published. "

George and Fred looked at each other, sighed in unison, and said in unison: "What a shame!"

"Wow, it's so warm at Hogwarts. Can you bring the snow indoors for a snowball fight?"

Some little wizards screamed excitedly in the auditorium on the first floor, jumping up and down and taking off their heavy clothes, like a cheerful bird.

George saw it and said with a smile: "Students of our generation are so lucky. Hogwarts was heated last year, and we finally don't have to wear bloated clothes to go to school!"

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly and she asked nonchalantly: "Is the heating on? How is it turned on? Is it by a magic weapon that generates heat, or by a magic circle?"

Fred recalled for a moment, "It doesn't seem to be the case. Professor McGonagall said that they used Muggle steam heating machines to lay various heating pipes in Hogwarts."

George: "Fred, you have forgotten that Hogwarts already has a lot of pipes. There is no need to lay them again. They just need to be renovated."

pipeline?

Lin Xia remembered that before reincarnation, when she was looking for the basilisk, she saw many complicated and winding pipes, "It's so good, who gave the instructions?"

George: "That must be our great Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Fred: "The headmaster is too busy with the Ministry of Magic. I used to see him occasionally in school. He would play with the little wizards and he had no airs."

George added: "But in the past two years, I can only see him at the freshman welcome party."

Lin Xia silently memorized this information.

With the opening of heating in Hogwarts, the little wizard's hibernation has improved a lot and he is active in Hogwarts again.

It was also at this time that students discovered that Hogwarts' course schedule had increased.

There are more courses and less homework after class.

Many professors will set aside some time in class for little wizards to do homework.

Compared with the previous days when they had to rush to catch up on homework, this mode is more popular with little wizards.

There are professors to supervise homework, and they don't dare to make small moves, which invisibly improves the efficiency of homework.

So even though there are more courses, the little wizard feels that his daily rest time has not been reduced.

"Hi, Lin Xia, Draco, good afternoon!" Harry waved to Lin Xia.

On Wednesday afternoon, Lin Xia and Draco went to herbal medicine class together.

This class was held by students from four houses, including Harry, Hermione and Ron.

Lin Xia was a little surprised. This was the first time Harry greeted her.

Harry lowered his head in embarrassment.

Draco smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Harry. You look much better."

Ron put it bluntly: "It's not because you are drawing firepower from the front. There are no little wizards quietly following Harry to the Quidditch pitch. Senior Wood's training plan has not been leaked. Harry has been practicing flying broomsticks recently." happy."

Lin Xia reminded him: "Harry, you should get used to this feeling of being noticed, otherwise you will be under great pressure."

Harry Potter has attracted much attention since the beginning of school. Many young wizards admire and are curious about him.

Although his performance in school was not as good as expected, many young wizards turned their attention back.

But no matter what, Harry's every move will quickly become the talk of the school.

Harry said worriedly: "I also want to be like you, not afraid of other people's eyes, but I can't do it. I think you are much better than me."

He grew up in his uncle's house, living in a cramped small room, eating only leftovers, and wearing old clothes that Dali didn't want...

As a result, one day, he received a letter from Hogwarts.

Hagrid told him that his parents were very great and he was also very powerful. He became a celebrity after enrolling in school.

Not everyone can accept this gap.

Getting rich overnight and becoming poor overnight are unacceptable.

Lin Xia glanced at Draco, who looked at her in confusion.

Lin Xia was speechless for a moment, then said: "Then you can communicate more with Draco, he is very experienced in this area."

Draco reacted at this time and nodded quickly.

"Yes, Harry, do you have time for dinner tonight? I will tell you some coping experience."

Everyone walked to the edge of the Forbidden Forest while talking and laughing.

Since Professor Sprout found that the effect of teaching outside was better, he moved the class location outside several times.

The place suitable for explaining Herbology is the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid helped to be a security guard several times to ensure the safety of the little wizards.

In theory, as long as you don't enter the Forbidden Forest, it is very safe.

The magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest signed a non-interference agreement with Hogwarts. Unless the little wizards voluntarily walk into the Forbidden Forest, the magical creatures will basically not run out, let alone attack the little wizards.

But this time there was a little accident-

Lin Xia and others just arrived at Hagrid's hut and found that Dean Sprout and Hagrid were not there.

The other little wizards who arrived early all looked solemn and gathered together to discuss.

"Suddenly there was a painful roar in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid and Professor Sprout heard it and hurried to the Forbidden Forest."

"That roar was very unusual. When I heard it, I felt my soul was in pain, as if I had done something extremely evil!"

"I don't know which magical creature was in trouble. When will Professor Sprout come back?"

Harry and Ron seemed to recall something. Harry frowned and said, "It must be a unicorn. Someone needs the blood of a unicorn to prolong their life!"

Harry wanted to walk to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but was stopped by Ron.

"No, Harry, you can't go in. That's the Forbidden Forest. It's too dangerous!"

Since the beginning of the school year, every professor in the school has emphasized the danger of the Forbidden Forest to the young wizards.

Senior seniors may not be able to enter the Forbidden Forest, let alone these young wizards who have not learned many spells?

As more and more young wizards came and the news spread, the expressions of the young wizards became more and more anxious.

From time to time, they looked at the Forbidden Forest, walked back and forth, wanting to return to Hogwarts, but they didn't know if they could go.

In a tense and stalemate atmosphere, the time for the Herbology class has come.

The little wizards looked towards the Forbidden Forest eagerly, hoping that Professor Sprout would come down from the sky.

But nothing happened.

Even when it was time for class, Professor Sprout and Hagrid did not come out of the Forbidden Forest.

It seems that the severity of the situation has exceeded the professor's imagination.

Although Lin Xia is not a class leader, as the only outstanding student present, she thought for a while and immediately stood up and said: "Everyone go back to the greenhouse first!"

Some little wizards asked: "But Professor Sprout..."

Lin Xia: "Professor Sprout and Hagrid have something else to do. The Forbidden Forest is too dangerous for us, even if we just stay on the edge.

There is no wizard guarding us here. Let's go back to the greenhouse to study first. It won't be too late to come to class when Professor Sprout arrives."

Lin Xia's words convinced the other little wizards.

She and Draco walked to the back to prevent other little wizards from falling behind.

Ron, Harry and Hermione also followed Lin Xia to the back. Harry turned his head to look at the Forbidden Forest from time to time, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

If Ron hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed into the Forbidden Forest at any time.

"Harry." Lin Xia suddenly asked, "How many spells have you learned?"

Harry: "Three, four... um, six?"

"If you suddenly encounter danger, what spell will you use to protect yourself?"

Harry tried hard to recall the defensive spells he had learned.

No, nothing!

His mind was blank, and he found that he couldn't answer Lin Xia's words.

Lin Xia looked at him: "So you don't have to worry too much about Hagrid and the professor. They are adults, their magic power is much stronger than ours, and they know more spells than us. If even they can't solve it, then the only thing we can do is to run for our lives."

As he spoke, a fluttering sound suddenly came from the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone looked over and saw many small animals flying out of it, flapping their wings desperately, looking very panicked.

Lin Xia sensed something was wrong and quickly moved: "Run!"

"Run, go into Hogwarts, don't go to the greenhouse, go back to Hogwarts!" Lin Xia pointed her wand at her throat and cast the spell "Sound like a bell".

Her voice echoed in the air, and the little wizard heard it and ran in panic.

Draco and Lin Xia ran the slowest. They could have run faster, but they chose to stay behind Harry and the others and shouted at them:

"Run faster, faster, something is coming out of the Forbidden Forest!"

There was no need for Lin Xia to remind him. Draco, whose five senses had been strengthened by the "Purple Gold Mysterious Records", also sensed the danger behind him.

He had never been so aware of the impending danger, and his whole body trembled, and his mind was blank.

He didn't know what he could do, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, run!

But Lin Xia stopped at this time.

She drew out the spell and aimed it at a boulder not far away.
