Chapter 347 347. Tree Man and Blue Man

When Scott and Eddie walked to the door of the ward, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Since these Gryffindors and Slytherins were still hating each other before, their eyes were still fierce.

Under these fierce gazes, Eddie, who was walking in front, stopped.

Scott didn't pay attention and walked directly past Eddie to the inside of the ward.

He glanced casually, and the Slytherins who looked at him looked away.

"Hey! Scott, Eddie, are you here to see me?"

Fred, who was lying on a bed at the end of the ward, raised a bandaged hand.

"Why didn't you bring a gift?" George, who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, raised his head, "This is really disappointing."

Scott smiled and continued walking inside.

He said hello to Harry who was lying on the hospital bed at the door, and when he passed Percy's hospital bed, he glanced at the Head Boy in surprise.

Percy's face turned red and he immediately covered his head with the quilt.

"Oh, don't look, Percy is going to be heartbroken." Ron, who was lying on the bed next to him with a face full of sores, said, "Because he participated in the fight, he was afraid that his Head Boy would be dismissed by Professor McGonagall."

As he spoke, he couldn't help grinning, and accidentally touched the sore on his face, causing him to take a few breaths in pain.

Percy stuck his head out from under the quilt, glared at Ron angrily, and yelled, "Who do you think I got into the fight because of? If I hadn't saved you, you would have been hit by a Knee Reversal Curse, you This idiot!"

Ron muttered unconvinced, "Who asked you to save me?"

"What did you say?" Percy was furious.

"I..." Ron wanted to say something else, but was hit on the head by a flying pillow.

"Shut up, Ron!" came Ginny's voice.

Scott's eyes moved and looked at the five Weasley brothers and sisters lying in a row, and he couldn't help but marvel.

"You Weasleys are all talented," he said with a smile, walking between George and Fred's beds.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment!" Fred and George looked proud at the same time.

"That's so stupid!" Ginny on the side couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

"Haha...hiss..." Ron couldn't help but laugh twice more, "What are you talking about? Who rushed up immediately when they saw Harry being hit by a curse?"

Upon hearing this, Ginny immediately climbed up from the hospital bed and grabbed her pillow from Ron's hand.

"I told you to shut up! Shut up!"

She held her messy red hair on her head, raised the pillow and beat Ron's head, which was also holding red hair, rhythmically.

"Oh, good job, Ginny!"

"Harder! Hit him harder!"

Fred and George gloated and started cheering.

"Look, this is the upbringing of the Weasley family." Malfoy's mocking voice came from the other side, "Like a crazy woman."

Ginny stopped hitting Ron.

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry's voice came from the door, "Mind yourself!"

Ginny quickly turned around and lay back on her hospital bed.

Malfoy did not shut up, "Are you speaking for your girlfriend, Potter? Maybe you can take the little property left to you by the Potter family and marry the crazy woman of the Weasley family, so that their family Life will be better.”

His words made the Slytherins burst into laughter.

Harry, who had already sat up, glared angrily at the triumphant Malfoy, too angry to speak.

And Ginny was already crying with anger.

"It seems you haven't learned enough lessons, Malfoy brat!" Fred yelled.

George also threatened fiercely, "If you talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue and cut it out!"

Then the other Gryffindors started to join in.

So the two groups of people in the ward began to yell at each other fiercely.

Scott and Eddie looked at each other and simply sat on the stools to watch the excitement.

After a while, Madam Pomfrey hurried into the ward.

"Shut up! Be quiet!" she yelled angrily, "If you make any more noise, I will ask your dean to take you away, and I will deduct 100 points from each of you!"

Obviously, in the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey is the absolute queen. Everyone she looks at shuts up.

After she turned around and left, Fred whispered to Scott and Eddie: "I'll leave the rest to you."

He raised his bandaged right hand again and shook it. The surface of his arm now looked like rough old tree bark.

"We may not be discharged from the hospital until the day after tomorrow. It's so boring here." George said, "If you have the latest news, be sure to share it with us in time."

By the way, his skin is now blue and he has a few scales growing on his face.

"I know, Mr. Tree Man, Mr. Blue Man." Scott said, "But I don't think you will be bored here."

Eddie couldn't help laughing, "You guys are very lively here. If Madam Pomfrey hadn't been watching, you would have started fighting."

"Oh no, everyone's wands have been confiscated by Professor McGonagall," Fred said.

George added, "We had to write a 12-inch review to her after she was discharged from the hospital to get her wand back."

Scott smiled and said to Fred, "Maybe you could grow new branches on your arms and whip them?"

"Good idea, what about me?" George asked enthusiastically.

Scott replied, "Just open your mouth and bite. You look like a poisonous snake now."

"No, don't use snake to describe me." George retorted sensitively.

"Then blue poison dart frog?" Eddie suggested.

George nodded, "Sounds better than Viper."

Scott and Eddie didn't stay long before leaving the school doctor's office.

"That set of magic text circuits has not been fully understood yet. I must continue to study it."

He said something to Eddie, then went up to the eighth floor and entered the Room of Requirement alone.

"Good morning, Scott."

This time Helena, the girl in the painting, took the initiative to say hello to Scott.

"Good morning." Scott looked at her, "It seems you are in a good mood today?"

"It's okay." Helena's answer was a bit perfunctory.

She walked slowly and slowly to the landscape painting in front of Scott.

"Today is the day Medea destroys the last Horcrux, isn't it?" she asked Scott.

Scott nodded, "That's what she announced, in the newspaper."

The whole painting began to move, and Helena said no more.

Scott did not open the door immediately, but asked her curiously, "Has Dumbledore gone?"

"Why are you asking me?" Helena turned to look at him.

Scott replied, "The portraits in the castle always know a lot, and you are always well-informed."

"Dumbledore is not in the castle, not yesterday." Helena said and walked out of the landscape.

Scott then walked into the inner room and began to complete the magic text circuit under the guidance of Ravenclaw.

"This is not a new rune circuit." Ravenclaw said to Scott in the painting, "I mean, the main rune circuit already existed in our time."

Scott listened to her carefully.

"In the past, we would also use some alchemical items to record what was happening currently." Ravenclaw in the painting continued, "It's just that there were no telescopes at that time, and the magic script circuits used were not as complete as this."

She only mentioned this briefly, and then began to focus on analyzing the set of magic text circuits analyzed from the panoramic telescope.

"The main body of this set of magic text circuits is [Record], which is nested with [Loop], [Speed], and [Control]. There are actually four different magic text circuits in total."

Ravenclaw began to explain in simple terms.

"First of all, starting with the simplest [speed], you have already learned this magic text circuit..."

It was not until noon that he finally obtained this complete set of magic text circuits.

Next, he asked Ravenclaw for advice on how to transfer, store and edit the images recorded by the panoramic telescope.

Ravenclaw had probably never done anything like this before, so he could only provide him with a few ideas.

Afterwards, Scott left the Room of Requirement, went to the auditorium to have lunch, and then went to Professor Babling for advice as usual.

Despite the guidance of his Ravenclaw tutor, Scott never gave up the opportunity to consult Professor Babling once a week.

This was not just to avoid wasting the opportunity that Professor Flitwick had secured for him.

Mentor Ravenclaw and Professor Babling are different. They live in different eras and have different focuses on ancient magic texts. They can both be of great help to Scott's learning.

Even the Ravenclaw tutor supported Scott in continuing to ask Professor Babling for advice.

"Times move forward, and everyone has different wisdom." Ravenclaw said this.

After leaving Professor Babling, Scott did not return to the Room of Requirement.

Now that he is becoming more and more proficient, he can digest the knowledge learned in a week faster and faster, and he no longer has to exert his best every weekend.

He came to the "Joke Prop Studio" in the secret passage alone, wanting to use the Weasley twins' tools to test out the newly acquired magic text circuit, and also to test whether the transfer, storage and editing methods would work.

This was not an easy task, and it was not until dinner time that Scott gained something.

After dinner, Scott and Eddie walked towards the Forbidden Forest together.

"I didn't expect that the Daily Prophet and the Evening Prophet didn't publish the news about that incident today!" Eddie complained as he walked away. "Is it because the Ministry of Magic wants to hide it?"

"Who knows." Scott didn't think too much, "We'll find out when our warriors come back."

Eddie was not so optimistic about this matter, "I don't know if our plan will succeed. If those panoramic telescopes are discovered... maybe they have been destroyed."

Scott has nothing to do about this, "This kind of thing can only depend on luck."

"Hopefully we get lucky."

While talking, the two walked to the garden behind the castle.

Scott suddenly stopped and shouted twice to a bush in the garden, "Good evening, Mr. Tree Man, Mr. Blue Man."

Two figures in black cloaks and hoods sneaked out from behind the bushes.

"Good evening."

Fred and George waved to Scott and Eddie.

"Why did you run out?" Eddie looked at the two of them in surprise.

"After all, our symptoms don't actually affect our activities." George said, kicking his legs and twisting his waist flexibly.

"It's just that this hand of mine is a bit unruly." Fred raised the hand that turned into old tree bark.

"Aren't you afraid of angering Madam Pomfrey?" Scott walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "Be careful she prepares the most unpleasant potion for you."

"No." George laughed, and the blue face in the shadow under the hood looked particularly strange.

"What he means is that Madam Pomfrey's potion is already bad enough, and it won't get worse," said Fred.

"Then let's go." Scott did not persuade the two of them to go back.

"We may have to wait there for a long time." Eddie emphasized to the two of them. "Those eagles may not come back today. Maybe the showdown between the witch and the devil will be tonight."

"It doesn't matter."

"We just wanted to see it first."

Fred and George didn't back down.

"We ran out on the excuse of going to the bathroom."

"Percy and Ron and Ginny don't know."

"I mean," Eddie continued, "if you don't go back for a long time, Madam Pomfrey will definitely tell Professor McGonagall."

"oh……"

"Well……"

Fred and George hesitated.

"No, this is nothing compared to seeing those images for the first time."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too!"

The two quickly convinced themselves.

"What if Professor McGonagall can't find you either?" Scott said in a threatening tone, "I guess she will notify your parents."

"oh……"

"Well……"

Fred and George both stopped.

Scott and Eddie also stopped and looked at the two of them.

Fred asked George, "Do you think Mum will just rush to Hogwarts? Or just send us a howler letter?"

"I think she's used to it," George said. "At most, she'll give us a lesson when we go home for the summer."

"You're right, how long until summer vacation?"

"It's still months away."

"Maybe she'll forget about it in a few months. Mom has too much to worry about."

"You're right, then what are we afraid of?"

"Of course I'm not afraid."

"Walk!"

The two quickly comforted each other and continued to move forward.

Scott shrugged at Eddie and followed quickly.

After the four of them arrived outside the Forbidden Forest, Scott used his magic perception to see if there was anyone in the forest as usual.

"There is no one in my range of perception." Scott took out his wand and stepped forward, "You should just follow me. In the Forbidden Forest, I will always maintain the maximum area of perception, fluorescent flashes!"

With a flick of his wrist, he lit the wand.

"Lumos." Eddie also used the lighting spell.

Fred and George, whose wands were confiscated, could only follow behind them.

After walking for a while, Scott suddenly extinguished the light at the tip of the wand, "Stop, put it out."

Eddie quickly extinguished the lighting spell obediently.

"Someone... is not a wizard." Scott said, "The speed is very fast. Such magic fluctuations are centaurs. Let's avoid them."

Scott started leading the way again. This time they had no light source, so they walked more carefully.

But no one complained, after all, they didn't want to deal with those nagging centaurs.

"What's going on?" After walking for a while, Scott spoke again.

Due to the light problem, Eddie and the twins may not be clear, but Scott knew clearly that he had taken them around several times, but he had never succeeded in getting around the centaurs.

In his perception, there were three centaurs running in the nearby woods. Because they were very fast and did not go in a straight line, the four Scotts failed to successfully bypass them.

Scott told his companions about the situation, "I don't know what they are doing."

"Maybe hunting?" Eddie guessed.

Fred denied his guess, "No, it's outside the Forbidden Forest here."

George said: "There is nothing but trees outside the Forbidden Forest, and there is no prey that makes his heart beat."

"In order to stay away from those astrologers, we need to speed up next and pay attention to our steps." Scott reminded him and quickened his pace.

Before they could get far, the centaur's speed increased again.

"damn it."

Scott cursed, and he heard the sound of horse hooves and arrows piercing the air.

Turning around and pushing Eddie and the twins away, Scott waved his wand in time, "Armor for protection!"

when! Dang Dang!

Three arrows collided with the invisible magic barrier.

"Lumos!" Eddie's wand illuminated the surroundings in time.

"Get bigger quickly!"

Scott waved his wand again in time to make a stone next to him larger, blocking an arrow coming from the side.

"Stop it, centaurs!"

"We are Hogwarts students!"

A centaur's voice came from the forest, "Stop it, they are little wizards from Hogwarts."

"Who knows?" Another voice said, "Subdue them first!"

Fred immediately said: "Do you mean to shoot a few holes in our bodies with bows and arrows as a uniform?"

"I advise you not to do this!" Eddie shouted, "You cannot harm the students of Hogwarts!"

A very close voice said, "I saw it clearly. They do look like they are underage. They should be students at Hogwarts."

Scott certainly sensed the approach of a centaur, but he did not stop him.

If the centaur wanted to see them up close, let him watch.

Of course, if it shoots an arrow at them, it will receive Scott's full blow.

The centaur who was observing them stepped back as he spoke.

"Get out of here, little wizards!" The voice that spoke at the beginning spoke again, "No outsiders are welcome in the Forbidden Forest tonight!"

"What happened here?" Eddie asked curiously.

Another voice said fiercely: "This is none of your business, little wizard! You must get out of here as soon as possible!"

"This..." Eddie looked at Scott.

"Can't promise them," Fred said softly. "If those hawks come back tonight and we're not there..."

George added, "Those eagles could be attacked by animals, and the panoramic telescope could be damaged by animals."

"Gentlemen, we need to go to the lake for something!" Scott said loudly.

"I said, leave the forest! Go back to your castle!" The unfriendly voice seemed to be even more irritated.

A gentler voice said: "You shouldn't come here. Hogwarts calls this place the Forbidden Forest, which means you are prohibited from entering."

Scott frowned.

He knew very well that it was impossible to convince these centaurs with words. They had always been extremely stubborn.

But if we give up, as the twins said, there is no way to ensure the safety of those panoramic telescopes.

At this time, Fred said softly to Scott, "Hey, Scott, can you teach them a lesson?"

George also said: "We may need to defeat them before we can go to the lake."

"It's better not to conflict with them, it's too much trouble." Eddie had a different opinion, "Think of other ways."

"What can be done?"

"Are we going to give up?"

The twins clearly weren't looking to get out of here.

"Hurry! Leave the Forbidden Forest!"

With a warning, whoosh!

An arrow came through the air and nailed Scott's feet.

"Something is wrong." Scott said, "Normally they shouldn't be so tough. Something must have happened."

The twins, who were familiar with the Forbidden Forest, nodded in agreement, saying that they had entered the Forbidden Forest countless times in the past and had never encountered such a sensitive and tough centaur.

"Let's go."

"Leave them alone!"

Fred and George were prepared to give the three centaurs no face.

"They won't hurt us. This is their agreement with Hogwarts."

"Let's go directly to the lake."

The two of them walked a few steps, when two whooshing sounds were heard, and two more arrows were shot over, nailing them in front of their footsteps.

"We are not joking anymore!" the centaur shouted angrily, "If you don't leave, I will shoot you in the leg with my arrow. Anyway, such injuries can be easily cured!"

"They seem to be serious?"

Fred and George stopped.

The sound of horse hooves sounded again, and three strong horsemen came out from different directions in the woods and surrounded the four of them.

One of the centaurs glared at them, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, "Since you don't want to leave by yourself, we will tie you up with ropes and throw you back to the castle!"

"Don't be so grumpy, Bain." The centaur in front of them spoke.

"Hello, my name is Firenze." It introduced itself.

"Scott."

"Eddie."

"Fred."

"George."

The four people said their names one after another.

Firenze raised his head and glanced at the sky above his head, then looked at the four of them solemnly, "You..."

His expression changed, and he raised the bow and arrow in his hand and pointed at George.

"You are not a little wizard." He stared at George's blue face with sharp eyes, "Tell me, who are you?"

"What kind of hybrid is this with a wizard?" Bain, who was standing by, also noticed George's "face".

"Pfft." Fred couldn't help laughing.
