Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

late at night.

Jack, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is it time..."

He sat up from the bed and yawned.

I accepted the mission of the Parasitic Combination. Anyway, it would be better to finish it as soon as possible.

Change your clothes and go out directly.

I first made myself invisible and then headed to the Forbidden Forest.

It was probably early 12 o'clock at this time.

There are many little wizards who go out at night regardless of school rules, and there are many faculty members who patrol around.

Along the way, Jack saw three little wizards and Professor McGonagall.

The little wizard was unable to detect his invisibility, but Professor McGonagall seemed to be aware of it.

When passing by her, you could clearly see her tilting her head and looking in Jack's direction.

Should I say that she deserves to be a cat lady?

Quite sharp.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall didn't make any unnecessary moves after all. He just looked at it and left.

Stealth is not invincible, and there are still corresponding means of defeating it.

It's just that most people don't expect that there is an invisible guy next to them, so they use the spell to break the invisibility.

Jack must have taken advantage of the loophole in his thinking.

In addition to Professor McGonagall, Jack also met the administrator Filch.

His cat wasn't with him, probably looking for students on a night out.

Without the help of the cat, Filch would never have discovered the possibility of Jack.Holding a lantern, he just walked in another direction.

Jack met Filch near the castle entrance. After passing him, he left the castle.

I never met anyone again after that.

After taking some time, we walked through the open space between the castle and the Forbidden Forest and entered the Forbidden Forest directly.

This is Jack's second time entering the Forbidden Forest.

I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to observe it carefully.

This time, because I came under the orders of the parasitic group, I would not walk in the forbidden forest, suddenly encounter the parasitic group whose good deeds were broken, and there would be no conflict with them.

Very safe.

Jack could then walk slowly and observe the environment of the Forbidden Forest with peace of mind.

Since the Forbidden Forest is a forest, there are naturally many trees.

Many are ordinary plants, and some are special magical plants.

He saw a magic bean, entwining several large trees, winding up and disappearing into the darkness.

How high it was, Jack couldn't see clearly.

The moon was dark tonight and the wind was high. Although the forest was blocked by trees and the wind was not strong, the sky was dark and it was real.

If Jack hadn't cast a magic that could enhance his eyesight, he wouldn't be able to walk normally.

no way.

Who told him to enter so carelessly without even bringing a light?

"As for unicorns...it seemed like they were about to be discovered last time."

Jack began researching the mission.

"I remember it was here?"

Quirrell tells him to find the unicorn.

In fact, the whereabouts of unicorns are relatively easy to find.

Because the last time he attacked Quirrell, Quirrell was about to find the unicorn, but he interfered.

If we continue to follow the relevant traces, we will find the unicorn sooner or later.

Jack was going to save himself some trouble.

Go to the last place first and then continue searching.

This way you can quickly find unicorns.

As for whether to provide the information to the parasitic combination after finding it...

Of course it is provided.

Otherwise, what would he beg for after taking such a hard trip?

Where were you last time?

Jack searched slowly.

The Forbidden Forest is a very special place.

It is surrounded by a magic ward.

Although the Forbidden Forest looks large from the outside, it is also an affiliated part of Hogwarts. It is even surrounded by large sections of walls.

If you look at it this way, it seems that no matter how big it is, it is still limited.

But when you actually step into the Forbidden Forest, you will find that this place is not as large as you see from the outside.

The real Forbidden Forest is exaggeratedly huge.

Jack really felt that some kind of magic had been used to transform it to a certain extent.

Not an illusion.

In the small forbidden forest, there lived a group of man-eating spiders released by Hagrid that multiplied over time, as well as a group of centaurs that had migrated there, as well as werewolves and giants.

These are not little guys. They occupy a large area of ​​land at every turn and use it as a base.

Coupled with the many areas divided for their survival, such as the hunting area reserved for centaurs, the Forbidden Forest is really exaggerated.

No wonder Quirrell had been looking for the unicorn inside for so long.

The blame cannot simply be placed entirely on Quirrell's incompetence.

Jack didn't know how to find the unicorn, but there were specific traces. Just follow the trail and look for it.

"Where is it?"

A forest without landmarks is more of a maze than a maze.

They all look like the same trees, the same flowers, and the same vines.

Even the narrow passages made by animals seem to be no different.

It took Jack a long time to find the right direction and arrive at the place where he met Quirrell last time.

Just when I wanted to confirm, I heard some noise.

He quickly made up for his invisibility and hid behind a nearby tree.

After looking around for a moment, a figure came into view.

Because the light was too dark, I couldn't see clearly for a while.

Vaguely, you can see a large aquiline nose and hair that is almost shoulder-length.

The characteristics are already obvious.

Isn't this Professor Snape?

If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the Forbidden Forest?

Oh, no, it seems like Snape will definitely come to the Forbidden Forest.

Because he has to keep an eye on Quirrell and monitor his every move.

Jack frowned and muttered to himself.

Some carelessness.

He has indeed accepted Quirrell's mission, and even if he enters the Forbidden Forest, he will not conflict with Quirrell.

But Quirrell himself sneaked into the Forbidden Forest to find the unicorn.

Quirrell wants to avoid people like Snape and Hagrid.

So, if you don't have a chance to meet the parasitic combination, you have a chance to meet Snape, right?

It's outrageous.

Just as Jack was thinking, he heard new noises.

It's coming from the other direction.

Snape heard it too.

He stood and listened.

The sound is getting closer.

Vaguely, the footsteps of two or three people could be heard, as well as the breathing of animals.

Snape frowned.

He had already heard it, it should be Hagrid.

Because only the dog Hagrid brought could make such a breathing sound.

The very thought of dogs disgusted Snape.

Not long ago, he was bitten by another three-headed dog.

"If I didn't have insufficient energy, how could I be bitten..."

Snape snorted.

Anyway, my friendship with Hagrid wasn’t very good, so I didn’t go to say hello to him.

Having made a decision in his mind, Snape identified the road a little and planned to move in another direction.

After taking a few steps, I noticed something was wrong.

"Who is where?!"

He quickly pulled out his wand.

Faintly pointing to the left front.

"Come out! If you don't come out, I won't be polite!"
