Chapter 334 Bell and the others are innocent
‘Wow~Wow~’
The sound of surging water echoed in the dark night.
Under Shanna's control, the giant squid slowly approached the shore of the black lake.
"Fina, jump up quickly and roll around on its tentacles a few times... Very good, you can go back to the Forbidden Forest now.
After returning to the lair, you head deeper into the Forbidden Forest, then circle far away to cover up the smell on your body, and then you can come back. "
After watching Fina disappear into the forbidden forest, there was only the last step left.
"Break off the tentacles, um... let's start with three."
Upon hearing Shanna's order, the big squid began to twist its three tentacles vigorously.
Squids generally have a self-protection skill that allows them to break off their tentacles to distract predators and escape.
Obviously, although this giant squid is very different from ordinary squids in size, it has not lost this traditional craft of its own race.
‘Bang bang bang~’
The three tentacles of the giant squid broke off one after another and fell to the grass on the shore, stirring up a sky full of mud and grass clippings.
"Very good! You can go back."
After using the forgetting spell to modify part of the big squid's memory, Shanna nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand, indicating that the other party could go back to sleep.
So everyone saw that these three tentacles were given to her by the big squid on their own initiative, but they were not cut off by her. In other words, she did not disobey her brother's instructions.
Hogwarts is such a great place, even the animals here are so welcoming.
You may not believe it, and even she herself wouldn't believe it, but she actually refused the gift from the big squid.
But she didn't expect that the other party would break his tentacles so neatly and without giving her a chance to refuse.
Now that the tentacles have fallen off, it's impossible to put them back again, right?
If you don’t believe me about An’s return, ask Big Squid.
Therefore, she could only reluctantly accept the other party's gift.
There is no way, she is just such a cute little girl who is not good at rejecting.
‘Hee hee hee~! ’
(ω)
Shanna happily stuffed the tentacles into her bag, like a little girl who saw her leeks growing well and was happily cutting them.
Patting the small satchel on her waist, Shanna's face showed the joy of the harvest.
In this way, even if the professors find that the giant squid is missing a few tentacles, they will only think that it is some magical animal in the Forbidden Forest that attacked their Hogwarts pet tonight.
As for why these tentacles disappeared out of thin air?
This will test the imagination of professors.
In fact, many types of magical animals can do this.
For example, the bird snake can swallow three tentacles in one bite after it grows large enough.
For example, Xiuxiu, despite their small size, the dimensional bags on their bellies have a very, very large space.
Another example is the Ned's Bristle Boar, which can eat hundreds of times its own body weight in one go.
Therefore, there are many possibilities, and anyway, she, a cute and well-behaved little girl, will not take it away. It's even less likely that the weak, pitiful and helpless little Fina did it.
"Go back to sleep~!"
Sure enough, as the saying goes, it's good to be light when nothing happens.
Xiao Shanna, who had successfully completed her plan, now just feels relaxed all over.
Although her two friends were almost exhausted.
Tired!
…
Early the next morning, a commotion broke out in the Slytherin lounge and quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
As we all know, Slytherin's common room is located at the bottom of the Black Lake.
In the morning, when several small snakes passed by the lounge, by chance, the big squid happened to swim above the lounge.
Then these little snakes were surprised to find that the big squid that had been living leisurely in the black lake for an unknown number of years, and could almost be said to have accompanied most British wizards as they grew up, seemed to be missing some parts?
After confirming again and again that they were not dazzled because they had not woken up in the morning, they hurried to Professor Snape's office and reported the situation to their dean.
Snape was shocked when he learned the news.
You know, he has been coveting that big squid for a long time.
With the accumulation of long years and a body that is comparable to the legendary Kraken, if you can cut off some key parts from the opponent's body, you will definitely be able to make a very wonderful potion.
Unfortunately, his tempting proposal was opposed by most professors at Hogwarts, including Dumbledore.
'snort! A bunch of barbarians who don't understand the beauty of potions! ’
So, Snape couldn't help but feel a pang of admiration when he heard that someone had done something that he had always wanted to do but had not been able to do.
He couldn't wait to see the other party, and then... knock the other party down with a magic spell and snatch the big squid's ingredients!
As the only Potions Master in Hogwarts, is there anyone more qualified than him to handle those tentacles?
He did it as he thought, and Snape came to the principal's office with a cheerful face... ahem, a heavy look on his face, and reported to Dumbledore the situation that he had confirmed with his own eyes before.
How the professors appeased the giant squid and plowed the Forbidden Forest from beginning to end, these are not things that the young wizards who are currently having breakfast in the auditorium can know.
Maybe some gossipy little wizards will pry out a little bit of content from the professors' mouths in the future, and maybe there will be one or two more terrifying legends about the Forbidden Forest?
But that will happen no matter how long it takes.
"Bell! Tell me! Did you do it!?"
This morning, after hearing the news about the attack on the giant squid, the figures of the Bell brothers and sisters immediately appeared in Hermione's mind.
If there is anyone in Hogwarts who has the ability and motivation to attack the giant squid, then the only ones are the Bell brothers and sisters.
And she has not forgotten the scene when Shanna wanted to catch the big squid and eat it.
"What? We didn't do this?"
Bell's mouth was full of food and he looked at Hermione with a confused expression.
"Stop pretending to be stupid! It's the giant squid. Tell me! Did you attack the giant squid and take away its tentacles?"
"How is that possible! We didn't do it!"
"real?"
"real!"
Bell could swear that they didn't do anything!
He just watched the whole process and watched the excitement for a while, and absolutely never took any action.
And Lim didn't know about this at all, he just prepared some ingredients that Shanna gave her.
From beginning to end, Limu had never even seen the face of the giant squid, so how could he possibly attack him?
So, it really wasn’t them (Bell, Lim) who did it!
