Chapter 99 Footprints in the Forbidden Forest

Kyle, who had not found any clues, returned to the big tree.

Just as he was hesitating about what to do to see the gap, Fang suddenly ran over and bit his robe.

"Don't bother Fang." Kyle lowered his head and touched its head and said, "Now is not the time to play."

But Fang didn't care about that, pulled him to Hagrid's side, and then used his front paws to dig up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Under the fallen leaves, two rows of footprints were clearly visible.

"This is..." Kyle took a deep breath.

"Hagrid! Look! There are footprints here!"

After hearing Kyle's voice, Hagrid also lowered his head quickly, and he also saw the two rows of footprints.

"Good job, Fang!"

Hagrid touched Fang's head and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier."

After hearing this, Fang actually showed a wronged expression on his face, and slapped Hagrid's trouser legs with his front paws.

It was wet there, and there was a circle of obvious teeth marks.

Obviously, Fang had tried his best to remind him, but Hagrid was focused on the tree trunk and didn't notice.

In desperation, it went to Kyle.

"Sorry, Fang, I misunderstood you. Hagrid quickly apologized after noticing this.

It turns out that not every pet is like Fox. Hagrid's words made Fang feel better, and he lay there happily wagging his tail.

Kyle also took out a piece of Motla rat jerky and fed it to Fang as a reward, then squatted beside to observe the footprints.

There were two rows of footprints, and they were very messy, as if someone had a fierce battle here.

The footprints in the outer circle were normal and looked like the size of an adult, but the footprints in the row closer to the tree were different.

They were very large, almost twice the size of a normal person, and looked like Hagrid's...

No, this is Hagrid's.

Kyle suddenly remembered that he had seen such footprints in the pumpkin field, the size was exactly the same, and even the pattern of the soles was exactly the same.

Kyle frowned and said, "Hagrid, have you been here before?"

"Impossible. "Hagrid said affirmatively: "If I had been here before, I would definitely not forget such a big tree, but I have no impression of it now."

"Then how do you explain this?" Kyle pointed to the big footprint and said: "The pattern on it is exactly the same as your shoes."

"What did you say?" Hagrid bent down hard and saw the footprints clearly.

Then his pupils shrank suddenly, and he screamed as if he had seen a ghost: "This is impossible!"

"I have never been here, I promise!"

Then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly said: "Could it be that I left it accidentally just now.

"Unlikely." Kyle shook his head.

The footprints just left will not be hidden under the fallen leaves.

And... Kyle touched the soil at the edge of the footprints again. It was already very hard there. If it was just stepped on, the soil should be soft.

"Let's stop here today." Kyle stood up and said, "Let's go back and ask Headmaster Dumbledore. He might know what's going on."

Hagrid was completely confused at this moment. He became a little more sober after hearing Dumbledore's name. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Dumbledore must know."

Kyle took out his wand and used the cutting spell to remove the footprints and the surrounding soil.

He then dug a corroded tree trunk and used the floating spell to take them out of the forbidden forest.

On the way back, Hagrid was still walking in front, but his mind was very confused now and he looked a little absent-minded.

"By the way, Hagrid." Kyle asked curiously, "How did you know that the unicorn cub was missing?"

"Professor Kettleburn told me." Hagrid said, "Originally, he should have come this time, but the unicorn that lost its cub was very irritable. He needed to keep an eye on it all the time and couldn't get away at all."

Kyle suddenly realized.

Professor Kettleburn is also a famous master of magical animals and one of Newt's few good friends. If it was him, then there would be no problem with this matter.

However, unlike Newt, Professor Kettleburn's personality is more reckless and hasty, which has led to him only having one arm and half a leg now.

Kyle still can't figure out why this professor was sorted into Hufflepuff. No matter how you look at it, Gryffindor is more suitable for him.

The Sorting Hat must have drunk fake wine at that time.

On the way back, they met the centaur again, but it was not Ronan, but a young centaur with platinum hair.

"Hey, Hagrid, why do you look absent-minded?" The other party spoke first, "You can't do that. The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous at night. Don't forget that you are carrying a pony."

"Oh, Firenze... Yes, you are right." Hagrid patted his head and turned to Kyle and said, "Sorry, Kyle, I was a little confused just now."

"It doesn't matter." Kyle smiled, "I believe that with you following, the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will definitely not hurt us."

"Thank you." Hagrid also smiled.

"A little confused?" The centaur named Firenze looked at Hagrid, his eyes were amazingly blue, "Are you in trouble?"

"I don't know if it's a nuisance." Hagrid scratched his hair and said, "Firenze, have you seen me in the Forbidden Forest before?"

"Many times." Firenze said, "I see you almost every week."

"That's not what I meant." Hagrid pointed in the direction they came from, "I mean... there, next to the huge chestnut tree."

"I think I understand what you mean." Firenze raised his head and said, "Mars is normal today."

"Okay, I knew it was like this." Hagrid said a little irritably, "Can't you just say it... Forget it, let's go."

Hagrid walked past Firenze, and Kyle looked at Firenze thoughtfully.

The centaur named Ronan said the same thing before.

Mars is normal...

Is this normal?

Firenze did not leave immediately, but followed them all the time until Hagrid brought Kyle to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and he stopped.

...

The nest of the moonbeasts was in front of him. Looking at the moonbeasts dancing in the moonlight, Kyle subconsciously thought of the scene of their first night tour, when they were almost caught by Hagrid...

Hmm?

Kyle suddenly stopped. If he remembered correctly, Hagrid also went to the Forbidden Forest from this road.

...
