Harry Potter's Catastrophe - Chapter 457

c457 :Don’t take yourself too seriously

Under Kani’s control, the three wooden men took root next to the woods and absorbed water from the soil, which could reduce Kani’s magic power consumption.

“It’s really too bad. These freshmen are more noisy than us before. Now we have lost 400 points for this, and we are directly at the bottom.” Hermione said angrily.

Carney bent down and picked up Xiao Hei from the ground. “There may be worse things to come.”

“This can’t be worse. Your hard work for most of the semester has been wiped out all of a sudden.” Hermione really couldn’t think of anything worse than losing four hundred house points in one afternoon.

“Who knows.”

They returned to school. The whole school knew that a student was attacked in the Forbidden Forest. There was really a lot going on this semester.

Everyone speculated about what kind of monster attacked the students. Most of the students had never been to the Forbidden Forest. Even if they went there secretly occasionally, they would not know what kind of monsters were inside.

“I guess it’s a werewolf. I heard that we often heard werewolf sounds at night.”

“It must be a vampire. The wounds on the freshmen’s arms I saw were two fangs. If it were a werewolf, it would have torn off a large piece.”

“Maybe it’s a snake.”

Everyone was talking about the creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Some people even said that eating monsters would attack the school. Everyone was very scared.

“Everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of. I have met many terrible monsters, and they all fell at my feet. Whether they are vampires or werewolves, there are ways to deal with them.” Lockhart stood up and said loudly.

“The potion prepared by Snape is obviously enough, why do you want Lockhart to go?” Hermione said.

“Because Lockhart wanted to express himself, I think he would come up with all kinds of things every day, items to ward off monsters.”

“You don’t think he’s going?”

“Yes, I just happen to be sick every day or work too hard for the students or something.” Carney said.

“Lockhart is very good at dealing with monsters,” Hermione said.

When it comes to dealing with monsters, no one knows monsters better than Gilderoy Lockhart. He has fought snowmen, defeated werewolves, killed vampires, destroyed ghouls and hags, and almost killed one this semester. Terrible basilisk.

He is well versed in the weaknesses of various monsters, and now he has the most say. He is now responsible for leading everyone to defeat fear and unfounded monsters.

He is the nemesis of all dark magic creatures. As the school’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, it is necessary to stand up at this time.

“It’s just a few monsters. If they dare to continue, I will kill it with my own hands. This is its honor.” Lockhart boasted about his deeds while calming everyone’s emotions.

I have to say, the effect was remarkable. People who were not interested in Lockhart’s story turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.

“Professor, when are you going to kill monsters?” someone asked. They had already learned that Lockhart was going to kill monsters in the Forbidden Forest.

“I want to be fully prepared to go to the monster lair and eliminate them completely.” Lockhart said righteously, attracting the intoxicated eyes of a large number of little witches below.

During dinner, Professor McGonagall once again emphasized that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest. Violators will be deducted fifty points and have to clean the classroom.

Hogwarts has a lot of unused classrooms, enough for them to clean.

Taking Gryffindor’s score as a warning, they fell from the daunting first place to the last. The faces of the Slytherin students were filled with joy, but because Professor McGonagall was still speaking seriously, they restrained themselves.

“Four hundred points!” Many people in Gryffindor had not noticed that the gem in their score had dropped to the last place. After hearing Professor McGonagall’s words, they noticed that this pair of Gryffindors It’s undoubtedly bad news.

“I just said it was too dangerous in the Forbidden Forest.” Seamus said.

“I really don’t know what they were thinking, just rushing into the Forbidden Forest so recklessly.” Ron said, “I think the woods outside are not safe anymore. I was really lucky not to encounter spiders last time.”

Everyone in the dormitory was sighing. Seamus felt that he was right in having the foresight to give up the idea of ​​going to the Forbidden Forest. Harry and Ron, who were used to going out, also felt that they were much luckier.

“How can I get four hundred points back? I think there is no chance of the Academy Cup.” Neville said, and they all looked at Carney, who was always very concerned about scores.

“There’s nothing we can do, unless people from other colleges also get excited and go for a walk in the Forbidden Forest.” Carney couldn’t do anything in such a situation, and the deduction couldn’t be faster.

Since he couldn’t win the Academy Cup, he would have to rely on the next semester. Carney continued to read the book, and the topic of their conversation also changed, and they talked about the wooden man Carney had created.

But there is no chance to train anymore, because it has become difficult to leave the school. The wooden man cannot leave the land, so if he wants to train, he has to go outside. After this incident, no one dares to leave the school.

The next day, sure enough, Lockhart was sick, really sick, and stayed in the infirmary for a while.

“Okay, you guessed it,” Hermione said.

“Routine operations,” Carney shrugged.

The sick Professor Lockhart was naturally unable to go to the Forbidden Forest to eliminate monsters, but he introduced a series of small items that could resist monsters.

Such as crosses, amulets and other small objects, some that can resist vampires, werewolves, and even tigers. Anyway, the students guessed what kind of monsters he would have, so he would have some small objects to deal with them.

Many people rushed to buy it, and the Weasley twins could only watch helplessly because they could not leave the school. Although there was a secret passage, Professor McGonagall’s stern face made them choose to stay in the school.

Otherwise, they can sell more hotly, and there are no werewolves or vampires in the Forbidden Forest, but there is nothing they can do if everyone likes to spend their money.

Carney slipped away after breakfast, slipped out of the school gate, and came to Hagrid’s hut.

Hagrid was away, so he went on patrol early, taking Fang and Luwei with him. The lambs and calves on the farm were also moved into the Quidditch pitch, and the grass growing inside was enough for them to eat.

“It’s time for me to work hard. Dumbledore said to watch the movement in the Forbidden Forest. Xiao Hei, it’s time for you to start dinner.” Carney released Xiao Hei and went into the Forbidden Forest to find trouble with spiders.

Carney summoned the wooden men, and they had more branches and buds. It seemed that they could indeed take root and survive like normal trees.

After a while, someone came to the door, and the sound of horse hooves came from the forest, thick and dull.

Carney knew the leader of the scolds, Firenze, and the other two centaurs.

“Little wizard, I’m looking for you, Principal Dumbledore.” Firenze said.

“I’m sorry, Principal Dumbledore isn’t here. If it’s about matters in the Forbidden Forest, you can come to me the same way,” Carney said.

“Then let’s come back in a few days.” The other two centaurs and Firenze whispered a few words, Firenze said.
