Chapter 72: Why can't it be you
Chapter 72 Why can’t it be you?
After almost leaving the Forbidden Forest, Fred and George finally accepted their fate and gave up the struggle, but they were still complaining about Kyle's wasteful behavior.
“There are plenty more out there, and we wasted at least one galleon.”
Fred held up the hem of his robe and used it as a large pocket, which contained a mountain-like pile of silver "Moonlight Sand".
George next to him also has the same shape, which makes them look like two kangaroos.
Kyle didn't say anything, just responded perfunctorily.
The main reason is that I really don’t have much energy. It’s already very late now. After the initial novelty of seeing Yue Chimon dancing passed, the sleepiness caused by staying up late began to come over me.
Now he just wants to go back to the dormitory and lie down on a warm and comfortable bed and have a good sleep.
When a few people arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, a dog barking and heavy footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Hagrid!
Several people were frightened and immediately lay down on the spot.
Kyle also took out the invisibility cloak as quickly as possible.
Although this cloak is a bit small for five people and cannot completely cover everyone, fortunately this is a forbidden forest, and the surrounding lush bushes are also a good cover.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they could already clearly see Hagrid's huge figure.
Kyle was lying in the front holding his invisibility cloak, so nervous that he didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Who is there? Come out!” Hagrid stopped near them, holding a dim oil lamp: “I saw you!”
Behind Hagrid, the black hound Fangya also came.
It lowered its head and sniffed around on the ground, and gradually moved closer to where Kyle and others were hiding.
For a moment, everyone’s heart was in their throats, and they all covered their mouths with their hands, trying not to make a single sound.
The teeth were getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was soon less than one meter. Kyle could even clearly see its small black eyes and the drool dripping from its mouth.
“Did you find anything?”
Hagrid also noticed something strange about Fang. He walked over with an oil lamp and shouted loudly: "I don't care who you are, but this is Hogwarts, not a place where people like you can come here casually!"
“Leave quickly before I get angry. If I catch you, you will suffer!”
Somehow, after Yaya heard Hagrid's voice, he hesitated for a while and then suddenly changed direction and walked towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid followed closely behind it, passing by Kyle and others.
Time passed bit by bit, and until the footsteps completely disappeared, the Kells finally relaxed and lay on the ground breathing heavily.
“How exciting!” Cedric said with a flushed face: “Merlin’s beard, I even touched Hagrid’s shoes just now, and he almost stepped on my hand!”
"Oh, **** it." Fred, who had just gotten up from the ground, suddenly screamed strangely. He looked at the sticky liquid on his hand and said with a grimace, "I seem to have touched the dog's saliva."
"You should be lucky that you just touched saliva." George said with lingering fear: "Hagrid looked so scary at the time. If he were caught, he might not just be imprisoned."
As he spoke, George shuddered.
This was the first time he had seen such an angry Hagrid. The feeling of oppression that hit his face made him shudder even thinking about it.
“It’s all thanks to you this time.” Kyle patted Fred and George on the shoulders.
If they hadn't carried a lot of Yue Chi Beast's excrement, which confused Yaya's sense of smell, they wouldn't have been able to get through so easily just now.
After this accident, several people did not dare to delay any longer. While Hagrid was still in the Forbidden Forest at this time, they simply packed up and ran towards the castle quickly.
The few people who came to the exit of the secret passage did not rush in. Instead, they took out the Marauder's Map. After confirming that Filch's location was not on the first floor, they passed through the secret passage one after another and returned to the castle. They were separated after leaving the secret passage because they were not on the right path.
Perhaps they were frightened by what happened just now. On the way back, several people seemed very nervous.
Cedric felt his heartbeat beating fast and couldn't help but said: "Kyle, you said we won't be caught."
"It's okay. If we are discovered, we will run away." Kyle whispered: "This way he won't know who to chase."
"But..." Kang Na said with a vibrato: "I, I run slowly, what should I do?"
"Well, that's indeed a problem." Kyle thought for a while and said, "How about this? If you are discovered, just run upstairs."
“Can you not get caught if you run upstairs?” Kangna asked confused.
"No, it's not safe to run upstairs..." Kyle shook his head and explained: "But then Filch will chase you, and then Cedric and I can take the opportunity to run back to the common room. ”
…”
? ? ?
Kanna's eyes gradually became dull, and then turned angry in a very short time.
But Kyle didn't know anything about it. He was still whispering: "Catch one and run two. It's a good deal."
Kanna gritted her teeth and said, "Then why was I the one who was arrested?"
"Well...it's very simple." Kyle thought for a while and said: "If someone must be hurt, then why can't it be you."
For some reason, Kangna suddenly became less nervous. She silently took out her wand and looked up and down Kyle's back, as if trying to find a suitable place to poke it.
The most outstanding feature of the snakewood wand is its hardness. According to Ollivander, in some extreme cases, the snakewood wand can even be used as a close-quarters weapon.
Kyle felt a chill on his back and subconsciously quickened his pace.
…
No incident occurred, and the three of them returned to the common room smoothly.
Definitely.
Kyle noticed as early as when he was looking at the Marauder's Map at the entrance of the secret passage that the professors were sleeping in their rooms, and Filch, who was on night watch, was also on the eighth floor.
The distance from the Great Hall to the Hufflepuff common room is not far, it only takes a few minutes if you walk quickly.
Such time is not enough for Filch to run down.
So, Cedric and Connor's worries along the way are completely unnecessary.
“Good night, see you tomorrow.” Kyle yawned and returned to the dormitory.
Originally, he was thinking of going to the kitchen to find something to eat when he came back, but as soon as he entered the common room, he couldn't hold on any longer.
My eyelids started to fight and my head felt dizzy. I just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Good night."
