I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 396
c392 Cause, process, result
“What the hell is this…”
Looking at the werewolf blood on the table, Ian murmured to himself.
Subconsciously, he immediately thought of fungi. After all, when it comes to mutation, fungi are the first, and no one dares to be second.
But soon, Ian rejected this ridiculous idea. Not to mention that he did not feel any traces of fungi, based on logic alone, it was impossible for fungi to be present in Hogwarts.
After all…if Hogwarts existed, then the Muggle world in the British Isles would also have fallen.
“Buzz~buzz”
A vibration in his pocket interrupted his thoughts.
Taking out the double-sided mirror and expertly switching it on, Hermione’s slightly tense face appeared on the screen.
Before he could appreciate his girlfriend’s appearance, a series of words came to his ears, and the speed… was simply incredible.
“Ian, listen to me! The werewolves in the Forbidden Forest are purebred werewolves…”
Two minutes later.
“Are you listening to what I’m saying?” Hermione’s tone suddenly became serious.
Especially when she saw Ian’s distracted expression, this made her furious.
“Huh? Hmm… you’re right.” Ian replied subconsciously.
It happens again, every time! Hermione couldn’t help but purse her lips when she heard the familiar reply.
“What did I just say? Repeat it.”
Looking at the confused Ian through the double-sided mirror, she couldn’t help but sigh and said: “There are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, and they are pure-bred werewolves.”
After slowing down his speech, he finally understood it this time.
“Yes! There is a werewolf, and I locked him in a box!”
“Is he… locked in a box?” Hermione’s eyes widened.
“Otherwise, kill him? This werewolf is quite interesting. I want to study it.”
Ian had some clarity, and he had the impression that Hermione’s decisiveness in killing would only be shown in the final decisive battle.
There was a brief silence…the two of them stared at each other with confusion on their faces.
After a moment, Hermione was the first to break the calm and asked word for word: “You mean to say that the werewolf in the Forbidden Forest has been caught by you and locked up?”
“Yes! During the night patrol last night, Hagrid discovered it first, and then they had a fight…” Ian told what happened.
a long time.
After hearing everything, Hermione rolled her eyes speechlessly. Her feelings were all wishful thinking, and her worries were in vain from beginning to end.
To be honest, Hermione couldn’t be blamed for this.
The main reason was that Ian had never done anything to anyone in front of Hermione, which also caused her to have no intuitive understanding of Ian’s strength. Therefore, the appearance of a werewolf made her panic.
“Do you want to see the werewolf?” Ian suggested.
“No time! I have to go to the library to look up information… Don’t forget, we have an appointment with Professor Slughorn next week!”
Now that she had confirmed that nothing was wrong, Hermione decisively hung up the double-sided mirror.
Ian looked at the double-sided mirror in his hand speechlessly, sighing once again that he was trapped in a cocoon, and at the same time a slight smile appeared on his face.
After all, Hermione’s anxiety and worry just now were real, how could she not be moved.
Putting down the double-sided mirror, Ian sat back down again, picked up the bottle containing werewolf blood, carefully opened the cork, and then poured it into the cleaned crucible.
“smell good……”
The moment the cork was opened, a faint fragrance filled his nose. Ian inhaled, a bit like a mixture of lemon and lavender.
“Bang~bang bang!”
As soon as Ian picked up the wand and prepared to check the blood, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.
This powerful and heavy movement…you don’t need to think about it to know who it is. There is no other person except Hagrid.
…
“You mean this is all a coincidence?” Ian looked at Hagrid in disbelief.
“Yes! Whether it’s a centaur or a unicorn, they know exactly what happened, and I also investigated the traces along the way and found that it is indeed what they said…”
Ian glanced at Hagrid, who was begging for praise, “Well! You did a good job on this. Take a short break and report to Professor McGonagall.”
“Hahaha! That’s nothing.” Hagrid smiled heartily and waved his hands to show humility.
Half an hour later.
After watching Hagrid leave, Ian sat on a chair and began to meditate.
“Hunter…accidental…” A soft sigh.
Unexpectedly, what he denied from the beginning turned out to be the real answer.
The cause of the matter is simple. Now that the Ministry of Magic is short of manpower and Dumbledore is running around the world, many wizards in the gray area have turned their attention to Hogwarts.
Of course, even under such conditions, they only briefly ventured into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
I don’t know if they were just too lucky. They hadn’t walked around the Forbidden Forest for a long time before they encountered a purebred werewolf.
For experienced poachers, there is nothing to hesitate when encountering such a thing. The four of them immediately killed them. After all, wolfsbane is every wizard’s nightmare.
Therefore, even if the werewolves had a certain amount of magic resistance, under the attack of the Death Curse, two were killed in just one encounter, and the remaining one ran away like crazy as if it was frightened.
On the other hand, the poachers have no intention of eradicating the roots. They come to the Forbidden Forest to seek money, not to kill. What’s more, the werewolf is escaping towards the castle… which makes it even more impossible to pursue.
Logic, conditions, causes… After reviewing it again in his mind, Ian had to admit that this incident might really be a coincidence.
“Fortunately…it has nothing to do with fungi.” This discovery also made Ian sigh in relief.
Then he thought about this special werewolf, who could escape from four experienced poachers, and even had a fight with Hagrid on the way…
“It doesn’t appear in the original work, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. If it hadn’t happened, maybe it would have lived in the depths of the Forbidden Forest all its life…” Ian thought to himself.
“How should I arrange it for you!”
How to arrange the werewolves has become a problem, and it is impossible to release them. This is not only to satisfy his curiosity, but also because of the living habits of purebred werewolves.
Ian knew very well that this purebred werewolf, which was similar to a magical animal, had a strong sense of territory. If it were to be put back, the other party might be able to follow the previous taste and extend the territory all the way to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.
A purebred werewolf who can enter the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest at will? I’m afraid Hogwarts doesn’t want to open anymore.
As for killing, to be honest, he had never thought about it.
Because the werewolf was innocent from beginning to end, it was really strange that in addition to the main responsibility of the poacher, he, the gamekeeper, also had to take responsibility. After all, others had entered the backyard.
“Let’s keep it for now…what’s the matter? Others keep hounds, so I have to keep werewolves?”
Ian also complained in annoyance about the inexplicable addition of a pet.
Then he opened the box containing the werewolf. He was going to confirm the condition of the werewolf and feed it again to prevent him from starving to death.
Separating responsibilities and not implicating innocent people is a principle that Ian has always adhered to.
