Chapter 106: Battle in the Forbidden Forest (Two in One)
"It's good to be modest, and there's nothing wrong with being cautious, but those are things to consider in the future. You can definitely perform better now."
Professor Oren seemed to really treat this place as a classroom, and said seriously: "After all, your age is here, who would really regard an eleven-year-old freshman as an opponent?"
Kyle continued to walk forward without speaking.
Professor Oren didn't care, and continued: "I've finished talking, now it's your turn, tell me, when did you find it."
Kyle blinked and said: "Discover what? I don't understand what you mean, professor."
"If this is your answer..." Professor Oren suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Then there is no need for us to move forward."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Even Kanna, who was looking for Pochi, vaguely sensed something wrong and involuntarily leaned towards Kyle.
"As the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who is only here for a year, I have no doubt that you have a problem."
Kyle shrugged and said, "Everyone knows that this is a cursed position. For most professors who take office, they are either injured and sent to St. Mungo's or sent to Azkaban.
Some are more unlucky and don't go to either place.
Even those professors who can survive safely until the end of the semester will have to resign for various reasons.
Now it's the end of the semester, and you haven't had any accidents or resigned, so there must be something wrong with your identity."
"You are right, tut tut... a cursed position."
Professor Oren sighed and said, "I would have liked to be a professor, but unfortunately my identity was discovered. I just got the news that the people from the Ministry of Magic are on the way.
That bunch of rubbish probably never thought that I was hiding in Hogwarts, and they actually looked for me for so long."
When talking about the Ministry of Magic, Oren's eyes were full of disdain.
"Wait, you mean the Ministry of Magic is not looking for the Winged Demon, but you!"
"Of course it's me."
Oren mocked, "Think about it, it's just a magical animal, is it worth them making such a big fuss?
What they want is what I have in my hand."
"What is that..." Kyle asked subconsciously
"Are you sure you want to listen?" Oren teased, "If you want to listen, I can tell you."
"Uh... I don't want to." Kyle came back to his senses at this time and laughed dryly, "Actually, I'm not that curious."
The Ministry of Magic has been mobilizing a large number of troops to track it down for half a year, and it is likely that it involves something extraordinary, and he doesn't want to touch it.
Hearing this, even if Connor was slow, she reacted. She looked at Oren in disbelief and subconsciously drew out her wand.
"Don't be so nervous, Miss Prince." Oren not only didn't care about her little action, but looked at the tree on the left.
"Oh, look what I found."
He waved his wand lightly, and the fallen leaves on the ground began to wriggle, like a snake, wrapping up a gray-haired mouse lying on the root of the tree.
"Pochi!"
Kanna screamed, tremblingly stretched out her wand and said, "Let it go..."
"I'll teach you one last lesson."
Oren didn't even look at Kanna, and pointed his wand at the mouse and said, "If you want to confirm whether the animal in front of you is an Animagus, the Apparition Spell is the best choice.
Quickly show up!"
The wand sprayed a blue light, and in an instant, the mouse stopped in mid-air, its gray little body twisting wildly.
Oren waved his wand again, the fallen leaves scattered, and the mouse fell to the ground, and there was another dazzling flash...
Like a fast-forward shot of a tree growing, a head came out, and limbs came out, and a moment later, a hunchbacked and ugly witch appeared out of thin air.
The witch was hunched over, which made her look very short. Her sparse, dull hair was messy and just covered her big, ugly hooked nose.
Connor was stunned again when she looked at the old witch in front of her. She stretched out her hand and said incoherently: "She... Boqi... Bo..."
"So your name is Boqi, nice to meet you." Oren said happily, as if he had just met a new friend at the party.
"Damn it!" The witch was furious. She took out a thick and short magic wand and stared at Oren fiercely, "I will kill you, kill you!"
Her voice was very hoarse, as if she was using a rusty lawnmower to saw wood.
As she spoke, a purple light shot out from the witch's magic wand and went straight to Oren's chest.
Good opportunity...
Taking advantage of the witch's trouble, Kyle quickly took out two flying brooms from the deformed lizard skin bag and stuffed one of them into Connor.
"Let's go find Professor McGonagall!"
After a brief moment of shock, Connor understood what Kyle meant, and rode on the broom as fast as she could, flying into the sky.
After she left, Kyle did not fly with her, but threw the broken broom aside.
…
On the other side, facing the witch's spell, Oren just turned around and dodged it, then he sneered and raised his wand as well.
"Avada Kedavra!"
A pale green light flew past the witch's ear and hit a passing spider behind her.
The unfortunate spider got hard on the spot.
The witch who had brushed shoulders with the god of death was also frightened and collapsed on the ground, shaking all over.
After doing all this, Oren turned his head and saw Kyle throwing the broom.
"You always surprise me."
"You said before..." Kyle smiled: "Always have a flying broom, it can save lives."
"Hufflepuff plus 50 points." Oren also smiled: "This is the highest score I can decide."
He ignored Connor who had left, and let her disappear from his sight.
"Kyle, you didn't seem surprised at all just now, or did you know that the mouse was an Animagus?"
After Connor left, Kyle felt much more relaxed. He moved his stiff shoulders and nodded: "I did guess some."
Since Connor said that Pochi was sick last time, he had some doubts.
Then at the Quidditch game, he used the Marauder's Map to write down the names of those who were still in the common room at that time.
One of these names was not on the Hufflepuff roster.
But at this time, Kyle was still just suspicious. After all, the fact that there were two Animagus mice in the castle was a bit unbelievable, and he found it hard to believe for a while.
What if someone went to visit Hufflepuff that day? This is not impossible.
So Kyle has been looking for the rosters of the other three colleges recently.
So far, only Slytherin has not been seen.
But... there is no need.
"Since you know, why don't you tell me." Oren raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you worried about the safety of the little girl?"
"Then why did you bring us to the Forbidden Forest." Kyle shrugged and said, "This is Hogwarts, does she dare?"
Oren chuckled, "It seems that you are smarter than I thought."
Then his expression quickly turned cold, and he said to the witch sitting on the ground: "Kill the boy, you can live."
Is it time to fight?
Kyle smiled slightly and touched the ring on his hand.
But the next second, Oren's voice came again.
"You probably have some means of escape, but I advise you to wait a moment. Remember I have a curled-wing demon? Guess where it is now."
Kyle's pupils shrank, "You..."
Just as he was stunned, the spell of the rat witch had already arrived.
Kyle quickly lay back. Although the action was not very elegant, fortunately he avoided it.
The dark purple spell hit a tree behind him, and a large area of the trunk was corroded instantly.
"Ten minutes."
Oren placed an hourglass on the stone next to him and said to himself: "The curled-wing demon will be back in ten minutes. I wish you good luck."
Ten minutes, right? OK!
Kyle gritted his teeth, looked at the big fireball coming towards him, turned around and ran deep into the forbidden forest, trying to use the dense bushes to avoid the witch's spell.
It's not fair.
Kyle cursed in his heart as he ran wildly in the woods.
Why did Harry Potter meet either Quirrell, who was his natural nemesis, or Lockhart, who was a bit brainless, and Oren, who was more cunning than honeycomb coal?
Why!
…
On the other side, after seeing that several of her spells had failed, the rat witch became anxious and chanted her spells much faster.
Because Oren also said that to her. If Kyle was still alive in ten minutes, she would be the one to die.
“Petrified!”
“Hanging bell!”
“Corrosive acid!”
…
Kyle ran in front, and the witch chased desperately behind.
But as she ran, her feet suddenly softened, as if she was stepping on the water, and her whole body lost balance and fell out uncontrollably.
At this time, Kyle also stopped. He turned around quickly and pointed his wand at a big tree next to the witch.
"Weak!"
The treetop shook, and the originally upright tree softened instantly. Under the action of gravity, the soft trunk fell towards the witch like noodles.
The softening spell can only make objects soft, but the weight will not change.
The witch was frightened by the sight of a tree as thick as a millstone falling on her head, and her face turned pale. She wanted to run away even if she rolled and crawled.
Kyle waved his wand, and several branches floated up from the ground. Then the branches twisted and turned into sharp stone cones and flew towards the witch.
The witch also saw Kyle's actions, and she shouted angrily: "Armor protection..."
"Boom!"
But at this moment, accompanied by a violent roar, the tree finally fell down.
Countless birds were frightened by the huge sound and flew away.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was a big pit on the ground.
And the witch was lying in the pit, wailing in pain.
One of her arms was pinned under the tree, and a stone spike was stuck in her leg. She had completely lost the ability to resist.
The battle started quickly and ended even faster. Even Oren couldn't believe it.
That witch was a waste, but she was at least an adult wizard who had learned Animagus. Was it over like this?
If Kyle had used a lot of high-end spells, Oren could accept it.
But the problem was that Kyle only used five spells from beginning to end, and they were all the simplest ones.
Two softening spells, a floating spell, a primary transfiguration spell, and a moving spell. This is something that almost any little wizard can do.
…
Kyle wasn't too surprised. After all, it took him two weeks to read the biography of the duel master. It was impossible for him to gain nothing at all.
Setting traps, making use of the terrain, and beating up drowned dogs are just introductory skills to dueling.
In addition, the witch is also a real talent, look at the magic spells she uses...
Except for the Corrosion Curse, the Upside Down Golden Bell and All Petrification are all courses for third graders and below. The only one that is somewhat difficult is the Explosion Curse for fifth graders.
In addition, her brain was not very good, and she got hooked after just a little acting. Kyle even began to wonder if her Animagus was bought.
Of course, if there is a place to sell it.
"Expelliarmus."
Kyle walked over, reached out and put the short wand into his robe pocket.
"Bah, bang, bang... Fifty points more for Hufflepuff." Oren clapped his hands, pointed his wand at Kyle and said, "Then, do you need me to give you time to escape?"
"Professor Oren..." Kyle stood there without moving, wondering: "Why do you have to target me? Even if I take one of your Billywig bugs, it won't be this serious... At worst, I'll still That’s all you need.”
"..."
Oren's hand holding the wand shook slightly.
"It has nothing to do with this." He gritted his teeth and said, "Who makes you Chris's son? If it weren't for his nosy back then, I wouldn't be where I am today... Wait, are you stalling for time?
Gee, do you still expect those idiots from the Ministry of Magic to save you? "
"I am indeed stalling for time, but I am not waiting for someone to rescue me." Kyle looked directly at Oren and said, "I have another question, why do you think I want Kangna to leave."
"So-called friendship?"
"On the one hand." Kyle shrugged, "In addition, there are some things on my body that are not suitable for her to see."
"What...ah!"
Oren suddenly screamed. He felt as if his leg was bitten by something, and then he lost consciousness instantly.
"Expelliarmus!"
A beam of red light shot from Kyle's wand.
Oren endured the severe pain and rolled forward to avoid Kyle's disarming spell. At the same time, he also saw clearly the thing that had just bit him.
Two round heads of cabbage.
"Damn!" Oren gritted his teeth and said, "How come there is Z-biting cabbage in the Forbidden Forest!"
"Of course I brought it." Kyle released a disarming spell again and said: "Hogwarts is too dangerous. Even Hagrid can be plotted against me. I am a little wizard with no power. , It’s reasonable to carry something for self-protection.”
