"That's the way it is, Mr. Headmaster."
In the principal's office, Hagrid reported what happened in the Forbidden Forest to Dumbledore in a somewhat cautious manner.
Dumbledore pondered for a moment after listening, then thought of something, raised his head and said to Hagrid: "Alright Hagrid, I promise you, I will take care of this matter."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Headmaster!" Hagrid touched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and bowed slightly to Dumbledore.
"It doesn't have to be like this, but Hagrid..." Dumbledore waved his hand kindly, and then said with some hesitation: "Perhaps... can you negotiate with their patriarch?"
"Negotiation?"
Hagrid's reaction was a little slow, and he thought for a while before he understood what Dumbledore meant.
"That's right." Dumbledore nodded slowly: "Let me think about it... Is Aragog right?"
"Yes!" Hagrid nodded again and again, with a look of joy on his face, glad that Dumbledore could remember the name 'Aragog'.
"It seems that I'm not old-fashioned." Dumbledore made a little joke, and then continued: "I know something about the situation in the Forbidden Forest. Many creatures that can communicate have responded to me. The eight-eyed giant The spider population is growing so fast that it seems to be threatening the lives of other populations in the Forbidden Forest."
"No no! Mr. Principal!" Hagrid was a little anxious, and quickly explained: "I told Aragog! It won't let his descendants hunt those groups that can communicate! You have to believe me! Trust Aragog!"
"Don't worry." Dumbledore calmed down: "Of course I believe you, I'm just worried that there are too many descendants of 'Aragok', and it is inevitable that some will be disobedient.
Therefore, I hope that you can represent the academy this time and negotiate with them again. You can think that this is just a formality. "
Hearing this, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly nodded in agreement...
…
The pursuit last night was too tense, so the Kewen trio honestly stayed in the castle for three days.
But as the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple.
A few days ago, Kewen had gotten used to the intake of high-level nutrition and the feeling of his body getting stronger quickly. After three days of "poor" days suddenly, he couldn't help feeling weak all over his body.
The same is true for the twins.
Previously, George and Fred had already made up their minds on the first day they earned their 'pocket money', planning to open a store about 'prank magic items' after graduation.
Roughly speaking, if you want to open a shop in Diagon Alley, you will need about 1300 Galleons in odds and ends.
A total of two beakers of venom were collected a few days ago. Because the parents could not be informed about this matter, the twins could only sell the venom from the 'black market' channel after the holiday.
In this way, the price of the two bottles of venom may be severely lowered by the buyer, and they can be sold for 8 or 9 hundred gold Galleons at most.
So there was still a shortfall of 400 Galleons, which happened to be the price of a whole bottle of venom.
After all kinds of coincidences, the twins also need to go to the Forbidden Forest to 'encounter' a few acromantids again, so that they can complete the original accumulation of industrial start-up funds.
Dinner on the fourth day.
At the dining table, Kewen happened to sit opposite the twins.
After dinner, the three of them exchanged glances tacitly, and immediately understood each other's thoughts tacitly.
As soon as the curfew time passed, the three figures couldn't wait to leave the castle and entered the Forbidden Forest all the way.
But just after entering the Forbidden Forest less than 100 meters away, a voice suddenly rang out: "Who's there!"
The progress of the three of Ke Wen suddenly stopped, and the twins almost turned around and ran away subconsciously.
However, Ke Wen did not take the lead in retreating this time, nor did he instruct the twins what to do, but stood there in a daze.
The reason for this is that Ke Wen has already heard whose voice it is from the drinking. After several conversations, how can he not remember Dumbledore's voice
"Don't run away..." Ke Wen stretched out his hand, grabbed the twins who were about to start, and said with some helplessness: "It's too open outside the Forbidden Forest, and I can't run away."
When Fred heard this, he immediately drew out his wand, quickly chanted the spell in a low voice, and added the spells of eliminating footsteps and eliminating smell to the three of them respectively.
In the end, Fred used the 'Illusion Charm' learned from Cowen to add an illusion to the location of the three of them, disguised as a tree.
Ke Wen watched Fred keep busy, smiled wryly and shook his head, without saying anything.
At the moment when Fred's 'Illusion Charm' just took effect, Dumbledore's figure walked quickly from inside the Forbidden Forest.
In the end, Dumbledore stopped about eight meters away from the three of Cowen.
Without looking into the line of sight, Dumbledore set his eyes directly on the tree that Cowen and the three had imagined.
Seeing this, Ke Wen secretly sighed in his heart.
He knew that Dumbledore was a master of 'absorbing divine thoughts', so in front of the other party, invisibility spells, illusion spells, invisibility cloaks and the like had no effect at all.
After all, as long as Dumbledore uses the 'Intake of Divine Sense', he will definitely know where there is no one.
If Cowen acted alone, he might have avoided Dumbledore's detection by using the 'Brain Occlusion Curse', but there were twins beside him, and the two of them couldn't block Dumbledore's detection.
Sure enough, Dumbledore stopped, stared at the positions of the three of them, and said directly with some complaints: "Be considerate of the old man..."
"To catch you, old man, I haven't had a good night's sleep for three days."
"So, can I ask you to come out? The naughty twins of the Weasley family, and if I guess right... Cowen?"
"Curse stop..."
Fred canceled the illusions on the three of them in embarrassment, and then looked at Dumbledore with some apprehension with an expression of knowing that he had been caught, waiting for the verdict.
The atmosphere became silent.
Dumbledore looked at the three of them indifferently, but the three of them were all uneasy about being caught doing bad things. Even Ke Wen didn't know what to do now.
Finally, Dumbledore broke the silence: "I don't think this is the right place to talk, gentlemen, let's go back to the castle first."
The three of Kewen nodded obediently, then obediently followed Dumbledore's footsteps, and returned to the castle all the way.
When they finally arrived at the principal's office, Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a thick nightgown, and Rubeus Hagrid, the guard of the Forbidden Forest, were already waiting at the door of the principal's office.
Obviously, Dumbledore had notified the two of them somehow...
