Chapter 574: Descendants of Werewolves
The whole class excitedly followed Professor Moody, left the castle, and quickly headed towards the Forbidden Forest.
Walking at the back of the crowd, Shirley turned her head imperceptibly, at a very slight angle, but Rove knew she was asking Gabriel what to do, so he asked:
"Gabriel, we are going to the Forbidden Forest for class, would you like to stop by Beauxbaton's carriage?"
"Can I go to the Forbidden Forest with you, Rove?" Gabriel looked at him pitifully, and begged, "I will be obedient and not cause trouble for you."
Rove did not directly refuse or agree, but asked calmly:
"There may be some bloody scenes in this class, are you sure you want to go?"
With Rove's current ability, he can naturally guarantee Gabriel's safety in the Forbidden Forest, but the focus is on the content of the class...it may not be suitable for children.
"Sure!" Gabriel nodded vigorously, "I followed my mother when I was a child, and lived in the Veela tribe for a while. I have seen scenes of Veela hunting animals, so I won't be afraid..."
Rove laughed softly, "You're still a kid now."
The little girl pouted, a little grievance and resentment, said: "Rofu, I'm only six years younger than you, we are the same age, don't always treat me like a child!"
Rove didn't know whether to laugh or cry, even the cold-tempered Xue Li was amused, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.
The students quickly crossed the grass to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and saw Hagrid's charred cabin first.
In the open space in front of the wooden house, there was also a large group of Gryffindor and Slytherin students, who were taking care of magical animals.
Their task today is to lead the snails for a walk with a rope to help them digest.
But it's hard to say who is walking who. After all, those snails are more than one meter long. From time to time, they make a frightening crackling sound and leap several meters forward.
Ron was dragged to the ground by the wreck, started the front brake movement, and ate a mouthful of mud.
Ron stood up with difficulty and found that his hair was burnt yellow by the flames from the ass of the schreck.
Ron cursed viciously, and now he wished he could steal some poisonous mushrooms from the greenhouse and poison the snails to death.
Harry on the side didn't speak, but stared blankly into the distance. Ron asked puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Professor Moody..." Harry said excitedly, "it looks like he's going to take the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students to the Forbidden Forest."
Ron turned his head to look, also showing envious eyes.
Not only the two of them are envious, but all the students in class are also envious. Compared with playing with snails here, going to the Forbidden Forest is indeed more exciting and attractive.
"Professor Moody, do you really want to go to the Forbidden Forest now?" Hagrid worried, "The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous recently."
Ever since he used sixty fire crabs to impregnate a manticore manticore, that guy has always been very irritable, and no one can get close to him.
Moody glanced at the blow-tailed snails. He felt that these things were more dangerous, but he still said in a rough voice:
"Don't worry, Hagrid, I will only take the students to the locations I have scouted, and I won't go too deep into the Forbidden Forest."
"Then you should be more careful, and...the Forbidden Forest is very deep, full of trees, it's easy to get lost." Hagrid reminded:
"If you can't find the way, you can ask Rove...he is as familiar with the Forbidden Forest as I am."
Hearing Hagrid's words, Moody narrowed his eyes, a little surprised, but thinking about the surname Scamander, it's not surprising.
Those little wizards looked at Rove with shocked eyes. Isn't it strictly forbidden for students to enter the Forbidden Forest? How could he be so familiar with the Forbidden Forest?
Rove, who was greeting Hermione, couldn't help but twitched his mouth, Hagrid didn't help people "explode" like you.
After some chatting, Moody bid farewell to Hagrid, and everyone set off again, following a small path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black jungle, and plunged into the Forbidden Forest.
The breath of the woods immediately filled everyone's nostrils: the sharp aroma of fresh pine needles, the earthy aroma of wet and soft rotting leaves, and the vague animal musk.
The Forbidden Forest is like a beautiful woman covered in black veil, bound by Dumbledore on weekdays, everyone can only watch from a distance and not play with it.
Now that she can lift the black veil, enter her secret area, and get a glimpse of what's going on, the little wizard chattered excitedly.
Only Rove and Shirley were calm. They had come here too many times. Who would feel excited when they entered their back garden?
Rove was a little disgusted with the Forbidden Forest, it didn't have the excitement and freshness it had when he entered it for the first time.
In short, he is a little tired, and it seems that it is time to develop a new forest virgin land.
As they went deeper into the Forbidden Forest, the students felt as if they were in another world:
There are towering trees everywhere, and the trees are very close to each other, blocking the sun, and the breeze is blowing, and the fallen leaves are rustling.
Curtains of fungi hung from the branches, huge flowers bloomed in the mud pits, and there were half-floating, half-submerged crocodiles in the swamp that looked like black logs with eyes and teeth.
This place seems to be more dangerous than a greenhouse!
In the depths of the Forbidden Forest, a long howl suddenly came, the pitch gradually increased, and the lament lasted for a long time, like a gust of cold wind passing through the forest.
Soon, wolf howls sounded one after another.
The excitement suddenly disappeared, and the students only felt an unprecedented fear that overwhelmed them.
Moody stopped by a gnarled oak tree, turned his head and asked:
"Why did you stop? The sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the howling of wolves... which one scares you out of your wits?"
"Professor Moody..." Hannah trembled, "Is that the cry of werewolves? I heard from my father that there are many werewolves living in the Forbidden Forest."
Hearing this, everyone became even more frightened.
"This question needs to be answered by a professional." Moody suddenly looked at Rove and asked, "Scamander, Hagrid said that you are familiar with the Forbidden Forest. Are there werewolves living here?"
"I haven't seen a real werewolf in the Forbidden Forest, but there are indeed descendants of werewolves living here." Rove said.
"Does it make a difference?" Justin asked.
"Of course there is a difference." Rove explained under the gaze of everyone:
"Generally, the children born to werewolves are normal wizards, just like us.
But if two werewolves mate in wolf form on a full moon, once they conceive, the werewolves will give birth to a litter of real wolf pups, none of which can return to human form, but possess intelligence equal to that of a human.
I heard from my grandfather that there is a group of highly intelligent wolves living in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and they are all descendants of werewolves. "
A wise wolf is still a wolf... Luo Fu's words did not lessen everyone's fear.
At this moment, Susan suddenly looked terrified, pointed to the distance, and let out a piercing scream.
