A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

"Is everyone here?" Filch asked at the door, holding a lamp in his hand, but Mrs. Norris did not follow him.

"They're all here." Aaron pointed to a few people behind him, "Two Slytherins and three Gryffindors.

If there are other unlucky people, that's a different matter. "

"Let's go!" Filch didn't say much and led them out of the hall. "It's a pity that we can't use the old-fashioned method of punishment. In the past, when we were in solitary confinement, we had to tie our thumbs and hang them in the basement. I really miss those things. Screams."

"Is this too perverted?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "Are those punishments for teachers? As far as I know, all the students in the school are minors!"

"What do you know? At least Hogwarts was the most stable during that time.

There are not so many students like you who are naughty and stay out at night. Filch sneered, "I still have those chains in my office. I oil them frequently. Maybe they will be used someday." "

The three Gryffindors looked horrified, and they all made a silent decision in their hearts. They would not make mistakes again, and even if they made mistakes, they would never be caught by Filch.

The current punishment is enough for them to drink a pot, but who knows if Filch will suddenly have a seizure one day and punish them in the old-fashioned way. Just hearing these few words will make their scalps numb.

Draco also looked a little unnatural, but he was not worried. He had a rich and powerful father, and even a few decades ago, the school did not dare to punish him.

Aaron smiled nonchalantly. He was a man of rules. Even if he broke the rules, Filch couldn't catch him.

What happened this time was a complete accident. They were blocking the door with a professor. No one else could stand it, and they had no chance to escape.

"Mr. Filch, I personally feel that Hogwarts can't accommodate you. Azkaban is really in need of talents like you."

Filch paused slightly, "I also thought about being transferred there as a guard or something, but it's a pity that I'm not needed there. Their treatment of prisoners is much crueler, which I will never be able to achieve." ”

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched. He said it symbolically. I'm sure this guy really has this idea.

Several people walked out of the castle, walked through a meadow in the dark night, and arrived at the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. The illuminated windows in Hagrid's hut were particularly conspicuous in the night.

"What are we doing here?" Draco asked, "Isn't it confinement?"

"Yes! Solitary confinement." A hint of joy appeared on Filch's face, "Didn't Professor McGonagall tell you? This forest is your solitary confinement room, and you are contracted by it.

You have to follow Hagrid tonight, he happens to have a little errand to take care of. "

"It's okay." Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With Hagrid taking care of him, this confinement should be a little easier.

"Forbidden Forest?" Draco's face changed wildly, and his voice was trembling. "Aaron, please tell me this is a joke. We can't go there, let alone in the middle of the night."

"Are you scared?" Ron joked, "Malfoy is actually scared of a forest."

"Aren't you scared?" Aaron asked meaningfully, and then gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Weasley, you are really brave. I hope you won't be scared to wet your pants for a while."

"What's the meaning?"

"Weasley, you idiot.

Dumbledore clearly said that students are not allowed to enter this forest. Do you think this is a joke?

Let me tell you generously, this forest is very dangerous, and there are even werewolves. "

As soon as Draco finished speaking, a wolf howl came from the Forbidden Forest. It was probably the full moon that broke through the clouds that stimulated them to transform.

Ron shuddered and subconsciously clenched his sleeves, not daring to say anything.

"There are more than just werewolves in the woods." Filch turned around and stabbed him, "That's for sure."

Hagrid walked out of the hut, carrying a lantern of the same style as Filch's, with his pet Fang following behind him.

There were shallow tears on his face, as if he had just cried.

"They're a bunch of troublemakers, Hagrid," said Filch.

Hagrid did not speak, but took a choked breath, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

He walked to the fire, slung a bag of arrows over his shoulder, and then checked the crossbow again.

"Oh my god! Are you still sad about that dragon?"

Hagrid raised his head and glanced at Filch, "Norbert is gone, and Dumbledore arranged for him to go to Romania to live in a group."

"Isn't that great?" Aaron laughed. "It can be with its kind. You don't have to worry about being able to support it, let alone whether your house will be suddenly demolished by it."

"It doesn't hurt to stand and talk." Hagrid looked at Abe who was following Aaron's feet, "Are you willing to let Abe leave you and live in a group?"

“Don’t even think about it.

I raised it with my own hands. "

"Then it's over.

Norbert is still a baby, what if other dragons bully him? What if it doesn’t like living in groups? "

"Um..." Aaron frowned, "Actually, you can think so. Maybe it likes to live in groups, and maybe other dragons will protect the baby."

Hagrid nodded, but the frustration on his face did not dissipate at all.

“I said okay, you have to cheer up and stop being sad.

You have to go to the Forbidden Forest soon! Filch said, turning around and looking at a few people, "Good night, I hope you can come out safe and sound, otherwise I will have to go in and collect your bodies." "

After saying that, Filch was about to walk towards the castle.

"Wait!" Aaron stopped him.

"Is there a problem?

If you are asking me, then give up!

The punishment was set by Professor McGonagall, and I can't undo it. "

"No, Mr. Filch, you misunderstood. The Forbidden Forest cannot scare me.

In fact, I wanted to go in and take a look during the Christmas vacation, but Professor McGonagall didn't agree at that time. "

"Then why did you stop me?" Filch asked in confusion, "You didn't want me to go in with you! That's really fantastic."

"No." Aaron shook his head and pointed to the lamp Filch was holding, "I just want that.

It was the middle of the night, and the place we were going to was a dark forest. One light for six people was obviously not enough! "

"Oh!" Filch suddenly realized, "But what does this have to do with me?

You brought this all on yourself, didn't you? You should have thought of this before you got into trouble. "

"Yes, yes, you are right, you have to consider the consequences before doing bad things.

But aren’t we being punished now?

I just need a small lantern, wouldn’t you disagree? "

"No, of course I won't agree." Filch sneered, "I don't have any sympathy for students who make mistakes, so don't expect me to help you, even a little bit."

"Forget it, Aaron, there's no need to look for him." Draco said unhappily.

"Pull it down! The danger of this forest will increase significantly at night.

If you can't see clearly, you might end up in the lair of some ferocious beast. "

"No, the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will give me face." Hagrid puffed up his chest proudly. He had a good relationship with the creatures in the Forbidden Forest and was confident to say such a thing.

“Animals will give you face, but what about plants?

You should know that animals are not the only dangers in a forest. "

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, thinking about the various injuries he had suffered due to the uneven road conditions in the Forbidden Forest and not knowing how to refute it.

But it seems that another lamp is necessary.

"Filch, look at this..."

"Hagrid, you don't need to persuade me. Don't blame me for not giving you face."

"I'll buy it," Aaron said bluntly.

"This is property assigned to me by the school. I have no right to sell it to you."

"Then let's rent the head office!"

"Huh! I don't agree."

Aaron raised a finger and said, "Rent for one galleone for one night."

"I admit that the price is fair, but I don't lack the money."

"Five galleons."

"This..." Filch hesitated. He had nothing to spend money on, and he had saved a sum of money after spending so many years at Hogwarts, which was enough for his retirement.

But no one would object to having too much money, but when he saw the five students who had made mistakes in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is not about money."

"Ten gold galleons, if you don't agree, forget it.

The worst case scenario is that I'll suffer some losses and use the fluorescent spell to illuminate. I still know how to do this spell. "

"Wait, deal." Filch quickly put the oil lamp in Aaron's hand, fearing that he would regret it.

"Wait a moment." Aaron lifted Abe up and put his hand into the pocket of his clothes under its reluctant gaze. After groping for a while, he took out a handful of gold galleons and said, "No more, no less, exactly ten."

After the transaction was completed, Filch held a handful of gold coins and staggered away into the night, while Aaron had a lantern in his hand that emitted light.
