Archaeologists at Hogwarts

“Ahhhhh——!”

Ron was frightened on the spot. He hurriedly chose a fork in the road and ran away. Five seconds later, he ran back to meet Professor Heimer's increasingly frightening gaze and grabbed Hermione who was still standing there blankly.

"Ahhhhh——! (Run quickly!)"

Ron wanted to say something, but all that came out was a scream of terror.

Hermione's pupils opened wider and wider. She was pulled hard by Ron twice. As her body tilted, she saw a violently burning black-red flame suddenly rising from Professor Hemmer's body, and sharp eyes sprouted from her head.

The horns and height suddenly pulled up, and the face turned blood-like red——

"Ahhhhh——! (Devil! It's the devil!)"

Hermione ran out as if she was running for her life, she let out the same scream, and she also turned against the guest, grabbing Ron with her backhand, who originally wanted to take her to escape with her, and her legs moved much faster than Ron.

It's dragging Ron away.

The fallen Ron was dragged out for a long distance, and his feet left two long traces on the ground. They didn't know which fork in the road they entered, and they just tried to run for their lives crazily——

The devil is behind them!

Toby, who used the magic ball to cast the devil's illusion, picked up the small shovel that the two had dropped, and then turned the illusion of the small shovel into two long whips with ferocious spikes inserted upside down. Every time he waved, the whips were within reach.

The heels of the two set off a large ball of flames, making a crackling sound. They were so shocked that they tried their best to speed up their pace, but they could not close the distance between them and the devil.

After running across a mossy tree stump, Ron took the time to adjust his posture and wanted to run on all fours.

"Why?!"

He finally regained his language skills and shouted in a panic: "Didn't we agree to take another fork in the road?! Why is the devil still following us?!"

"Oh my God, Ron, what are you thinking about."

As Hermione spoke, she stopped slowly. She pretended to be calm and said: "I remembered that Harry said that he had met Professor Hemmer like this in the library. The professor was deliberately scaring us, so there is no need to be afraid.

!”

Ron stopped little by little. He panted and looked at the darker figure emerging from the darkness. The devil was raising the whip in his hand again. The barbs on it looked so real that Ron could imagine the whip.

How painful it will be on your body.

"Are you sure?" Ron asked with doubtful eyes, "Are you sure those are all fake? Harry never said there were weapons in the hands of the devil last time."

"I--"

Before Hermione could finish speaking, the whip had fallen far away again. This time the whip passed through the gap between the two faces facing each other, and landed on the soft grass in front of their eyes.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

They really felt the heat from the flames on the whip. The hanging barbs were just one centimeter away from scratching the bridge of their noses. Sweat condensed on Ron's forehead and the tip of Hermione's nose. They clearly felt

I saw the entire process of the whip falling.

At this moment, the fear that appeared on their faces was more real than anything else.

“Ahhhhh——!”

“Ahhhhh——!”

Screams rang out one after another, and they turned around and ran away, not daring to stay any longer for fear that their noses would just disappear.

Toby chased after them leisurely. The so-called blazing heat was actually a real flame. It only needed a trivial flame spell magic circle to do it. It was not difficult at all.

It's just that it's hard for Ron and Hermione to see through this little trick. And even if they think it's fake, they don't dare to take the risk. Who knows what madness Professor Hemmer has gone crazy about today. He can always bring surprises to the students, and more.

So much fright.

At this moment, they felt that no matter what Professor Heimer would do, it would not be surprising. Maybe there would be two brand new corpses and two freshly baked inheritances left in the Forbidden Forest today - oh, no, it was

There was only one copy, and Ron was a pauper, and his pocket money had been spent long ago.

After this idea emerged, Ron felt sad for a moment, and he couldn't help but slow down again. Fortunately, Hermione caught him in time.

"Now is not the time for joking." Hermione stared at Ron in disbelief, then gasped and comforted: "There should be a way to find other people to help in the Forbidden Forest. I learned a spell by myself, called the Spark Charm.

It shouldn’t be difficult.”

What Hermione meant by "not difficult" was that it really wasn't difficult at all. Of course, the specific degree of difficulty was only for Hermione herself and not for others.

Hope emerged in Ron's eyes little by little. He saw Hermione raising her wand, pointing it at the sky, and shouted: "Sparks flying!"

A fiery red spark shot up into the sky, and the red light illuminated two faces full of hope and expectation.

Suddenly, the long whip was drawn from far away, and it hit the sparks high in the tree crown accurately. It was like hitting a Bludger with a bat and it hit a long distance, but it could not get higher than the treetops.

Continuously traveling between the canopy bushes - this means that neither Hagrid's hut nor Hogwarts Castle can see this spark spell.

The two people kept their heads raised, and the expressions on their faces were all frozen.

The devil Toby behind him also quickened his pace: "Why don't you run anymore? Are you tired?"

"Still missing the devil?"

The two people turned around in horror and found that the devil was less than ten meters away from them.

“Ahhhhh——!”

The escape began again.

Panic screams broke the tranquility in the Forbidden Forest. Hermione thought quickly and took Ron off the path, intending to hide in the dense woods.

But before Ron could open his mouth to praise, a figure appeared at the other end of the thick branches, so close to them that they sat on the ground in fright.

The figure looked down at them. The two of them had never seen such a magical creature with their own eyes, which looked like a human and a horse. Above his waist, he was a human, with red hair and beard, but below the waist, it was brown-red.

The horse's shiny body has a long red tail trailing behind it.

It's a horse person.

Hermione remembered that she had heard Hagrid and Professor Hemmer talking about centaurs in the cabin. Ron, who had a poor memory, could only open his mouth in surprise. He had only heard his brothers describe centaurs, but he had never heard of them.

Never met them in person.

"Sir," Hermione subconsciously asked for help: "We need help."

She could only go to the doctor randomly when she got sick, but there was not much that could be done about her.

The centaur's eyes were very sad. He looked behind the two children and saw Toby who had escaped from the illusion, holding two small shovels in his hand.

"Hello, Ronan." Toby greeted.

Ronan sighed, his voice low and sad: "You are not welcome in the Forbidden Forest, Professor Heimer. You dug too many deep pits and then buried them again, but you will still bring harm to the forest."

He walked to a chestnut tree and gently pressed his palm on the thick trunk.

"I can hear the trees moaning."

Hermione and Ron stared at this scene dumbfounded. They exchanged glances with each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes——

They actually know each other?!

Damn it, these two are in a group!!!
