Chapter 35 Panic in the Forbidden Forest

Wo Bu Geng Xin
It was a huge snake.
A big snake with three heads, the left head looks calm and wise, the middle head looks listless, and the right head looks fierce and irritable.
This is a 4x level rune snake.It was huge, bigger than what Luke had seen in the books.Moreover, the three heads of this rune-striped snake are all intact, and there are not many battle scars, which is quite rare among rune-striped snakes.
Looking at the respectful big snake with its head down, George and Fred simultaneously thought of another legend about the Gaunt family.
Luke stood still, staring at the big snake.
When the big snake was four or five steps away from Luke, it stood up the front half of its body, lowered its head at the same time, and stretched its head towards Luke's hand.
Luke reached out and stroked the snake's three heads in turn.He knows that this is not an act of submission by snakes, because snakes do not have such gestures of intimacy and submission. As long as they do not attack you, they are close enough to you.But this is a snake in the magic world. I don't know who I learned these seemingly humane etiquette from.
Both George and Fred breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they would not have to risk being beaten up tonight to call for help.Because this is a fringe area, although there are a lot of magical animals, the degree of danger is not high.It is definitely not possible to kill someone.Although the rune snake can indeed kill them, it is not a particularly vicious magical animal. Generally speaking, if you don't actively provoke them, you won't be attacked.
At the same time, Luke opened his mouth and made a hoarse and low voice.
"What are you doing here?"
he asked in Parseltongue.
The twins behind them also shivered involuntarily when they heard Luke's voice. They can only say that the pronunciation of Parseltongue is indeed quite hellish.It has a natural vibe to it.
"We felt a closeness, Your Highness, so we gathered together, but we didn't expect it to be His Highness of the Gunter family."
The head on the left also spoke.
Luke is no stranger to words like this and the title 'His Royal Highness'. Around his hut, the whole forest is full of snakes. It is not an exaggeration to say that he saw snakes as if he saw his relatives.
"Is there anything wrong in the forest lately?"
Luke didn't waste time either. It was naturally one of his goals to come to the Forbidden Forest to have fun, but there was also business.
"Not yet, Your Highness, but..." Big Snake fell into deep thought, and said again after a while, "However, in my impression, the group of unicorns has begun to shrink. They are very sensitive to malice, so if you think If something is wrong, then they are the biggest possibility."
"There are also timid horsemen! They shrank their defenses early and only sent a small number of people out to hunt. They have the ability to watch the stars. Your Highness, you have the right feeling that something is indeed going to happen in the Forbidden Forest!"
The head on the right added rather impatiently.After speaking, it also glanced at the left head provocatively.
The head on the left snorted coldly and ignored it.
"You seem to have been prepared."
Luke looked at the left head strangely.
The head on the left said respectfully: "Our family was kept in the Forbidden Forest by Lord Slytherin. This place is very important. Our duty is to watch out for any troubles and report them to the Highnesses of the Gaunt family."
"It's just that we haven't seen your Highness for many years."
The head in the middle opened its mouth sullenly.
There was a bit of resentment in what he said.Luke was a little embarrassed after hearing it, but after thinking about it, it had nothing to do with him.
"Then continue with your mission and help me keep an eye on the Forbidden Forest. If there is any situation, please notify me as soon as possible. Is there a way to notify me?"
Luke asked again.
And the head on the left nodded again: "Yes, originally we could rely on the little snake to notify you, but these guys behind seem to like you very much. If it is to deliver a letter for you, they should be willing."
Luke looked behind the big snake. It was a group of relatively mild-tempered magical animals, including the tree monkey frog, fox meizi, ball-tunning bird (dodo), and Bowtruckle.
"So, what's your name?"
Luke thought that every snake around his house had its own name, and even a newborn snake would ask himself to help give it a name when it grew up a little.It seemed to be a Gaunt tradition.
Hearing Luke's question, the three heads became excited.
"We don't have a name, Your Highness. We haven't seen Your Highness for many years. We haven't been given a name."
This time the three heads opened their mouths together.The three pairs of eyes lit up with similar anticipation.
Luke heard the words, looked at the three heads, and outlined a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.
Nodding the left side of the head: "Gan."
Pointing to the head in the middle: "Wen."
Finally, he smiled and touched the right side of his head: "Cui."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the name."
They don't know the meaning of these three words, but this is the name given by His Highness, which is enough.
At this time, a light suddenly came on in the woods, and the sound of dogs barking came from a distance.
"Who's there! Fred! George! Is it you! Someone else? Who?!"
Hagrid's sonorous voice came from afar.
Cui opened his mouth ferociously in Hagrid's direction, as if he was about to rush to kill that rude man.
And Luke pressed it lightly.
He turned his head and said to Gan: "Go first, pay attention to your own safety, the danger in the Forbidden Forest is enough to kill you, be careful when investigating."
Gan nodded, then bumped into Cui who was still grinning, then bent down, twisted and quickly crawled to the depths of the dense forest.
Seeing that Gan Wencui left Luke, those magical animals who had held back for a while also rushed forward.They gathered around Luke's feet, looking at Luke curiously.Luke squatted down and played with them.
George and Fred looked at the approaching lights and the sound of dogs barking, somewhat nervous.
"Aren't you leaving, Luke? Hagrid is coming over soon. Although points will not be deducted, he will still be lectured."
George said with some concern.
Luke, on the other hand, touched the head of a moon idiot and said, "No need, I will come to the Forbidden Forest often in the future, and it would be nice to say hello to Hagrid in advance."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Luke, George took another look at his brother who was not only unmoved, but also seemed to want to play with him, sighed, and remained silent.
"Ha! I knew it was you two naughty ghosts! I saw your red hair from a long distance... What's going on with you?!"
Hagrid, who originally wanted to ask questions, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Fantastic animals are having fun around the twins.There was a Bowtruckle squatting on Fred's head, and a Niffler at George's feet, fighting for the Knut in his hand.
"Luke? Why are you here? Wait, is that an invisible beast? There are invisible beasts in the Forbidden Forest?!"
Hagrid looked shocked at Luke, who was playing with an ape-shaped animal covered in fine silver fur that shone like silk.
At this time, the invisible beast was scared by Hagrid's loud voice and disappeared into the air.
Luke pulled out the invisible one from behind him, and said to Hagrid with a smile, "Meet you again!"
A big snake with three heads, the left head looks calm and wise, the middle head looks listless, and the right head looks fierce and irritable.
