Chapter 97: forbidden forest
Chapter 97 Forbidden Forest
“Confined?”
In Professor McGonagall's office, Kyle said innocently: "But Professor McGonagall, we just sold something, and we didn't violate the school rules."
“This is what the principal requested.”
Professor McGonagall said with a straight face: "He thinks you should read more books at this time, or practice wand gestures to prepare for the exam, instead of focusing your energy on other things."
“That’s...ok, I get it.”
Kyle sighed and didn't argue any further.
It’s just that he’s being detained. As long as he’s not allowed to refund the money, there’s nothing he can do.
After coming out of Professor McGonagall's office, the six of them looked at each other and sighed.
“Look out, guys.”
Fred and George, who had extensive experience in confinement, were the first to return to normal.
Fred said with a smile: "At least Professor McGonagall didn't ask us for a refund or deduct points from us. This is already a rare thing."
"Yeah." George patted Cedric on the shoulder and said, "And it would be good for you to experience the feeling of being locked up."
"Merlin's beard." Fred said with an exaggerated expression: "George, I just realized now that except for the two of us, there are actually good students here."
"Yes, Fred, compared with them, we who are often locked up are indeed a bit out of place."
George squeezed out two tears and said: "They won't look down on us."
“Why don’t we go back and read a book before it’s too late?”
“Try to get a few more “O”s in the final exam.”
“That’s too difficult, let’s go with “e”.”
The two of them sang and talked in harmony, and with their exaggerated expressions, they quickly made the others laugh.
Kyle smiled and said: "Thank you, but you are overthinking."
"Yes." Cedric spread his hands and said, "If you can get one hundred galleons for one confinement, I promise to show up in front of Filch on time every night."
Autumn and Kangna also nodded together.
"Yes, that's right."
"Uh-huh…"
As Cedric said, in front of a hundred galleons, confinement is not so difficult to accept.
"Then..." Fred looked startled, and then said angrily: "Okay, you guys actually dare to play tricks on me!"
Kyle shook his head and said: "Don't say that, I'm just a little unresponsive."
That was true, he had never thought that Dumbledore would imprison them for such a trivial matter.
This is not his style.
After several people walked through the corridor where Professor McGonagall's office was, they separated and returned to their own colleges.
Then at the dinner table that day, they received a note from Professor McGonagall.
Your confinement begins at eleven o'clock tonight. See Mr. Filch in the hall.
—Professor McGonagall. 】
“When were you imprisoned?”
Mikel next to him frowned and said, "Maybe Professor McGonagall misplaced the note."
In his opinion, Kyle was the type of student who would never violate school rules, let alone be put in solitary confinement... How is this possible?
Kyle calmly put away the note and said, "It's correct, it's indeed mine."
"This..." Mikel thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Could it be that you were caught while wandering at night...But wasn't it the Easter holiday at that time?"
Because he had to catch up on work, Kyle was always busy during the last two days of the Easter vacation before returning to his dormitory until midnight. Mikel and Ryan both know this.
Kyle neither admitted nor denied, but patted him on the shoulder seriously and said: "So, you must not go out at night in the future, even during holidays."
Mikel and Ryan shook their heads together, seeming to have a new understanding of the school rules of Hogwarts.
This is too strict.
At eleven o'clock that night, Kyle, Cedric and Connor came to the foyer together. Filch was already waiting there, with the Weasley brothers and Autumn beside him.
“Follow me,” Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out.
“I think you should think twice if you want to violate school rules in the future, right?”
He looked at everyone sideways and said: "But I think work and hardship are the best teachers. It's a pity that they abolished the old-fashioned punishment method in the past...hang you by your wrists and hang you from the ceiling for several days. …”
Filch's gloomy voice made Qiu and Connor's faces turn pale, and even Cedric swallowed nervously.
However, Fred and George's expressions did not change at all, and they even turned around and made faces at the others when Filch wasn't paying attention.
They have to hear this kind of words every few days, and their ears are almost calloused.
"arrive."
After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a door. Filch took out the key and opened the door and said: "Go in, you are responsible for cleaning the prize display room.
I really don’t understand what Professor McGonagall thinks, asking so many people to clean the prize display room... This punishment is too easy. "
Hearing that they were just cleaning the trophy display room, Qiu and Kangna's faces returned to a little rosy.
Everyone entered the room one after another, but when it was Kyle's turn, something unexpected happened.
Filch stopped him and said expressionlessly: "Your punishment is not here."
Lady Norris was left here, while Filch took Kyle back to the entrance hall and left the castle.
The two of them strode across the dark field. At this time, Filch didn't say any more sarcastic words.
Kyle noticed that this road seemed to lead to the Forbidden Forest.
"Is that you, Filch? Come on, we're leaving."
Hagrid stood at the door of his cabin and started waving to them from a distance.
"The Forbidden Forest is dangerous." Filch suddenly said: "You'd better not get too far away from that idiot, otherwise the school rules you memorize will not save your life."
“I know.” Kyle nodded.
Filch acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued walking forward.
"It's almost time." Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, Fang following behind.
“Are you ready, Kyle?”
"He will be left to you, Hagrid." Filch said coldly: "I will come back at dawn. I hope what I see by then is not his remains."
"I don't need to worry about it." Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, "You don't need to pick him up. I will take Kyle back to the castle when the time comes."
Filch gave Hagrid a stern look, turned and walked towards the castle, the lamp swaying and disappearing into the darkness.
“The annoying guy is finally gone, that old loser.”
Hagrid took his giant crossbow and quiver, winked at Kyle and said: "It's so good to see you...I'm sorry, I'm not saying that it's a good thing that you were imprisoned, but with your help, tonight It will probably go much smoother."
Kyle looked at the heavily armed Hagrid and asked in confusion: "What happened in the Forbidden Forest?"
“A unicorn cub has been stolen, and we have to go to the Forbidden Forest to look for clues.”
Hagrid tightened the crossbow in his hand, his eyes filled with anger. "If I knew who did it, I would definitely not be able to spare him!"
