Chapter 116: Adventures in the Forbidden Forest (Part 2)
Hagrid's Hut
At this time, Hagrid was carrying a bucket of sticky red and white substance and walked into the hut. A big black dog was lying under the table in the hut. When it saw Hagrid coming in, it quickly stood up and barked at Hagrid a few times.
"Ya Ya, it's time to eat."
Ya Ya is a black Napoleon Mastiff raised by Hagrid. It is timid, but it is precisely because of this that Hagrid can predict danger in the Forbidden Forest in advance and avoid it in advance.
Hagrid poured the bucket of unknown substance into Ya Ya's food bowl.
Ya Ya then walked over and ate "huff and puff". At this time, there was a knock on the door. Hagrid walked to the door in confusion and opened it, but he didn't see anyone. He thought it was someone's prank, so he ignored it and closed the door.
But just after closing the door, the knocking sound came again. Hagrid opened the door with a little displeasure, but still did not see anyone. Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee. He quickly looked down and saw a blue and white cat standing upright and a brown mouse.
"Who are you?"
Tom and Jerry chattered to Hagrid. Although they could not understand what they said, they could understand what they meant.
"You are Professor Dumbledore's guests. You have made a group of friends in the Forbidden Forest. Do you want me to help you take care of them?"
Tom nodded repeatedly. Hagrid's character was straightforward and helpful, so he did not refuse.
"Where are the friends you mentioned?"
Tom took Hagrid to the other side of the cabin. There was an extra tree here with more than a dozen holes on the tree. Something could be vaguely seen moving in the holes.
"It's the Bowtruckle. It turns out to be them. I am also quite familiar with them. Don't worry, leave it to me to take care of them." Hagrid patted his chest and said confidently.
Tom and Jerry immediately expressed their gratitude to Hagrid, and then sat on the flying broom and flew towards the Forbidden Forest again. Hagrid wanted to stop them, but it was still a step too late.
Tom and Jerry in the air were looking at the magical animals they were interested in over the Forbidden Forest, but unfortunately they seemed to look down on them. At this time, they found a village, which made them very curious. After all, although they usually like to make trouble, it does not mean that they are stupid. On the contrary, their IQ is very high.
They knew that there should be no village in the Forbidden Forest, so they flew towards the village with curiosity.
But as soon as they approached, several sharp arrows immediately shot at them. Tom immediately showed what an old driver was. He saw that he controlled the flying broom to dodge the arrows in various difficult postures.
Jerry saw that Tom was having so much fun, and then pulled Tom to say that he also wanted to drive, but this was bought by Li Qingyue for him. Of course, Tom was unwilling to let Jerry play with it, after all, he had not had enough fun.
The result is very obvious. After all, whenever two kids fight for something, the thing will basically be broken by them without exception.
So when Jerry ran to the front of the flying broom to grab control, the dispute began.
The creatures attacking them below were also stunned. They never thought that Tom and Jerry would have an internal conflict before they really started. In just three minutes, the flying broom was emitting black smoke and fell in the center of the village with them.
The group of creatures ran over and picked up Tom and Jerry. Only then did Tom and Jerry see clearly that the creatures in front of them were actually centaurs.
"Whose student's pets are you!" A centaur asked sternly with a bow and arrow in hand.
Tom and Jerry quickly stood up and told their origins. Firenze, who was among the centaurs, heard what they said and asked, "It's you."
"Firenze, do you know them?"
"I've seen one of them."
"Wait a minute, please invite our distinguished guests in." An old voice sounded around the crowd, and when they heard this voice, all the centaurs bowed their heads, then stood up and gently put Tom and Jerry on the ground.
"Sorry, guests, it's our fault. Our elders invite you, please follow us." Firenze said to Tom and Jerry.
Tom and Jerry looked at each other, and finally decided to go in with Firenze.
They came to the house in the center of the village, and when they opened the door, they couldn't see anything in the room because it was too dark.
"Elder, the guests are here."
"Okay." The old voice sounded again, and candles were lit around the room. Countless candles surrounded several people, and the weak light also allowed Tom and Jerry to see the centaurs in the center clearly.
A white-haired, old-looking centaur slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Two respected guests, the centaur tribe welcomes you. Can you please come closer to me?"
Jerry stood on Tom's shoulder. Tom hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards the white-haired centaur. Only then did they realize that the white-haired centaur was blind. The white-haired centaur raised his hands and kept groping, and finally touched Tom's face.
He stroked Tom's face carefully and said, "Dear guest, you have huge potential in your body. In my eyes, you are even more dazzling than the sun. I can help you stimulate your potential, but I have a request, that is, I hope you can help us lift the curse."
Tom scratched his head, and even Jerry scratched his head.
Firenze looked at Tom and Jerry, and couldn't imagine that they were their saviors.
"Dear guests, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. We can also help you stimulate your potential."
As he spoke, the white-haired centaur released a gentle white light from his hand. The white light was pulled by a mysterious force and floated towards Tom and Jerry. As they absorbed the white light, a huge magic power surged out of their bodies. The beam formed by this magic power soared into the sky, forming an enlarged version of Tom and Jerry in the air.
Headmaster Dumbledore, who was eating dessert in the office, sensed something and immediately moved to the outside of the Forbidden Forest. He also saw the strange phenomenon in the air.
Not only him, but other professors also rode over on brooms, and Li Qingyue followed closely. Soon everyone came to the position where the beam was released and looked at Tom and Jerry floating in the air.
"Boss, what happened to Tom and Jerry?"
"They have awakened their second profession." Li Qingyue said as he opened the panel of Tom and Jerry.
"What profession."
"Merlin." Li Qingyue said lightly.
But the others didn't seem so calm. After all, Merlin was the most powerful wizard in known history. Everyone was staring at the two figures in the air.
