The Evil God of Hogwarts
Chapter 96 Heading to the Forbidden Forest
While Dumbledore was busy decorating his office, Xing Ze recounted what happened last night and casually talked about the recent investigation.
The old wizard's beard twitched: "Quirrell? This is a serious accusation, sir."
"I think Professor Snape is as suspicious of Quirrell as I am." Xing Ze said. He did not explicitly say that Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort, but pointed out that he might be a Death Eater.
"Yes, yes, he is indeed suspicious of Quirrell." Dumbledore nodded, "But we have no evidence. Meeting the banshee in the Forbidden Forest cannot be used as evidence, and the Ministry of Magic will not investigate him because of this."
The evidence is beneath his hood. Xing Ze wanted to tell the truth, but he knew that such a ridiculous suggestion would only attract ridicule from others.
More importantly, he didn't want to alert the enemy yet. Quirrell might know about the fragments, and he needed further investigation.
"So, I hope you can go to the Forbidden Forest for further investigation." Dumbledore suggested, "Find some conclusive evidence, so that we will have reason to involve the Ministry of Magic."
"How about killing a unicorn? This is not a small crime." Xing Ze asked.
The old wizard pushed up his glasses, "I did hear Hagrid mention that many unicorns have died in the Forbidden Forest recently. Do you think this is also related to Quirrell?"
"I'm not sure, but it's worth checking. The unicorn's blood, horns, mane and tail hair all contain magic. Even if Quirrell didn't do it, the wizards who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest must be related to this matter."
"Okay, go ahead and investigate. I will notify Hagrid to give you access to the Forbidden Forest. Oh, by the way, I also arranged a partner for you."
As he spoke, the principal clapped his hands, and the door of the office opened with a bang, and Ali Shafiq's cold face appeared at the door.
Oh, what a heck! Xing Ze cursed in his heart. But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he even showed a false smile.
"Put away that ugly smile of yours, Xing Ze. I'm as surprised and reluctant as you are, but it's fate." Ai Li walked into the office casually, "Good morning, respected principal."
"Good morning, Miss Shafiq."
Ellie stood next to the sleeping fire dragon, "Let me tell you straight, respected principal, do you plan to let him go to the Forbidden Forest with me?"
"That's right. You are investigating the death of the unicorn, and so is he. Since you two have the same goal, why don't you go together? It's good to have someone to take care of you."
Ellie frowned, "Hagrid is enough for me. He is very reliable, at least compared to some people."
"Hagrid will be very happy to hear what you say." Dumbledore moved his fingers, and two ceramic teacups and a teapot flew from the fireplace. I heard that too.”
"Black tea with honey and milk." Ellie took the tea cup and said, "Is it a troll? I heard about it. But I can't believe that that stupid thing that can't even find the door can walk into Hogg with such arrogance. Watts."
"so……"
"My guess is that someone deliberately let the giant monster in. As for why? Maybe it was to increase the festive effect, or maybe it was for other reasons."
"Someone wants to enter the restricted area when the troll causes chaos." The old wizard answered Ellie's doubts.
"That makes sense. Who is it? A student?"
"It was a group of foreign wizards. Snape and Xing Ze stopped them."
Hearing this, Ally raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xing Ze, then said, "I guess you won't tell me what's hidden in the restricted area. But no matter what, we should strengthen the defense over there."
"I will, which is why I want your father's help in getting the Mirror of Erised from Gringotts."
Xing Ze's face finally changed. He interrupted and asked, "I thought the mirror was at school."
The old wizard walked down the spiral staircase. "It was originally in school, but the previous headmaster thought that the magic mirror was too dangerous - I agree - it is indeed dangerous. So he asked the school director to send it to Gringotts for safekeeping.
"And Miss Shafiq's father happens to be a member of the board of directors. With his help, I will be able to convince other members more easily."
"Okay, respected principal, okay." Ellie sat down on a chair that came over, "I will convince my father. But now, let us go back to the previous issue."
"Yes, Xing Ze thinks that the death of the Forbidden Forest Unicorn is related to the wizards who broke into Hogwarts, so I want you to investigate together."
"Really?" Ellie frowned uncertainly, "As long as he doesn't hold you back, I have no problem with it. Then when will we set off?"
"I have already informed Hagrid. He will be waiting for you at the hut."
…
The two decided to meet at Hagrid's hut. Ellie needed to go back and prepare some things, and so did Xing Ze.
The first one to arrive was Xing Ze. Hagrid was feeding Yaya. The hound roared at the young wizard a few times and then ran out with a cow bone in his mouth.
"I don't understand why it dislikes you so much." Hagrid clapped his hands and said, "Ya's temper is not bad."
"Maybe it's because I'm a cat person?" Xing Ze speculated, "We are going deeper today. Is there any danger, Hagrid?"
"We have to see how deep we go. But don't worry. As long as we don't intrude on the territory of those animals and other humanoid races for no reason, everything will be fine."
"I hope so." Xing Ze was a little worried, "I always have a bad feeling. Has Dumbledore told you the purpose of our trip?"
"He made it very clear. I also heard that someone broke into the restricted area last night. Were you there?"
"Yes, I'm here, and Snape."
"How is Lu Wei's performance? I can guarantee that it will give those intruders a headache."
"Yeah, thanks to it." Xing Ze said. He thought of the wizard with the golden mask. His magical attainments should not be inferior to Snape's. If they hadn't interfered, Lu Wei would have been alone.
This was a planned infiltration, and they must have studied the traps laid by the teachers in the restricted area. And the most terrible thing is that the Mirror of Erised that Dumbledore needs is still in Gringotts. If they are allowed in at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
Does the plot deviate that much from the original work? Xing Ze felt increasingly uneasy. What the hell is Voldemort doing? Besides the Philosopher's Stone, what else does he want to do?
"Sorry, gentlemen, for keeping you waiting." Ellie's clear and powerful voice came.
Xing Ze glanced at his watch. It was on time, exactly as they agreed.
"Then let's set off," said Hagrid, "while there's still sun in the sky."
So the three of them walked towards the Forbidden Forest, and Yaya, who was still gnawing on bones, quickly followed Hagrid.
