Chapter 983 The New Guys in the Forbidden Forest
At 10 p.m., the party was still going on in the Owl Court Club Room.
Ever since Percy graduated, every party would last until the early hours of the morning, and if Snape didn't come, it would even last until dawn.
At three o'clock in the morning, the fifth floor of the castle was still brightly lit.
In the forbidden forest outside the castle, Old Barty and Bagman were standing in a dim open space waiting for something.
Gradually, the moon was covered by a layer of white mist, its light was swallowed by the clouds, leaving only the inky black night sky.
When the moonlight shone on the earth again, a few big guys suddenly appeared in the originally dark night sky.
Near them, there are several wizards riding broomsticks.
"Coming." Bagman walked out of the dim open space, revealing a pair of eyes full of expectation.
He watched from afar as the big guys flew closer and closer, "The real show is finally about to begin."
"Huh——" Old Batty sneered.
"It better be this way."
He walked out of the dim open space, and besides indifference, there seemed to be a hint of ferocity on his expressionless face.
Bagman glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, we have done everything we should do. There will be no accidents."
Old Batty didn't say anything else, but just quietly looked at the big guys in the sky that seemed to be asleep.
The wizards on broomsticks wore crimson robes, and each of them held a black chain tightly in their hands.
When you get closer, you can see that their chains are used to tie up the big guys who seem to be asleep.
Soon, they slowly landed in front of Old Batty and Bagman.
The leading red-haired young wizard checked the status of everyone after landing, then walked quickly towards the two of them.
"Report! Chief Crouch, Chief Bagman, the transportation mission has been completed. Our accompanying dragon trainers will take care of them 24 hours a day to ensure that they are under control before their first project begins."
"Thank you for your hard work." Bagman looked at the dragon trainers who had untied the chains, smiled and patted the red-haired young man's strong shoulder, "Charlie, you must be tired after working all night. Do you want to take a rest first?"
"No." Charlie shook his head. "We gave them sleeping pills before we set out. The effect of the medicine won't last long. We have to settle them as soon as possible."
Bagman's frown quickly relaxed. "Well, if you ever want to come home, just say hello."
After saying that, he turned and looked at the expressionless old Batty beside him, who was staring straight at the sleeping big guys.
"Bati, it's getting late. Let's leave this place to the dragon trainers. We can come back tomorrow."
Old Batty retracted his gaze, "Okay."
The red-haired young man named Charlie skillfully took out a bottle of potion from his robe pocket after the two left.
After all the chains on the big guys were removed, he walked up to one of the big black guys, and worked together with a dragon tamer to pry open its big mouth full of fangs, and then carefully poured the potion in his hand into it.
After the other three big guys successfully drank the sleeping potion, the dragon trainers breathed a sigh of relief.
Charlie was the same, but he soon became nervous again, "Everyone, pay attention, there are many magical animals living in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. There was no basilisk here when I graduated. Don't let them in."
This open space is very far away from Jomgand's burrow, but very close to the nest of the Acromantula.
A younger dragon trainer patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Charlie, we won't let any creatures get close to here."
"What big talk!" Another older dragon trainer slapped him on the sturdy back. "Aren't you afraid of spiders? I heard that there are more Acromantulas here than owls. Don't get so scared that your legs go limp."
"Really...really?"
The older dragon trainer nodded at Charlie and said, "Charlie is a graduate from here. You can ask him and find out."
The young dragon trainer swallowed after seeing Charlie nod, "No... No way... Aren't Acromantulas endangered species? How... How could there be more of them than owls..."
The dragon trainers couldn't help laughing when they saw how scared he was.
He is a tall and strong young man, but I didn't expect him to be so afraid of spiders.
"Don't laugh... Everyone is afraid of something... I... I actually... I can't stand those bugs with legs..."
Hearing this stammering rebuttal, Charlie subconsciously turned his head to look at the castle.
There were lights on in a few windows on the fifth floor. I guess that was the club he founded after graduation holding a party.
"Boy, just admit that you are scared."
"What are you afraid of... I'm not afraid..."
Charlie smiled, remembering a brother of his who was also afraid of spiders.
That’s right, he is the Weasley family’s second brother, Charlie Weasley, who works on a dragon farm in Romania.
Compared to two years ago, his skin is darker and his body is stronger.
The big guys he transported this time were none other than four fierce and mighty fire dragons.
Although they have all drunk sleeping pills and fallen asleep, they are genuine fire dragons after all. If they accidentally lose control and run wild, the dragon scales on their bodies with anti-magic properties alone will be enough to cause trouble.

Castle 5th floor,
Vincent and his friends were cleaning up the messy activity room.
Snape was such a spoilsport. Tomorrow was Sunday and there was no class, and they had set up a soundproofing spell so it wouldn't disturb other people's rest. So what was the harm in playing all night?
George pointed his wand at a round table covered with grease and bone fragments.
He waved his wand and said confidently while clearing the table: "The old bat must be going through menopause!"
"That's right!" Fred behind him widened his eyes. "He's not sleeping in the middle of the night and he loves to cause trouble for us. In my opinion, the old bat's menopause has already developed to the advanced stage and there's no cure."
Hermione, who was cleaning the wall, turned her head and looked at them with a frown on her face. "Please, menopause is not a terminal illness. It is a series of mental and psychological symptoms caused by the decline of physiological functions."
Snape was only in his early thirties, certainly not yet menopausal.
George pursed his lips and said, "Then he has endocrine disorders. The bat cave is dark and damp, it is not a place for people to stay. Only a psychopath like him would live in it all the time."
"Pfft——" Qiu was amused.
Hermione was speechless and turned back to continue cleaning the wall.
Apart from George's explanation, there is really no other reason to explain why Snape always targets them.
