Chapter 97 The Tomb in the Forbidden Forest
After receiving the news about the horse man, Hagrid soon came to the territory occupied by the eight-eyed giant spider.
It has been burned to a white ground as the horse man said.
There was residual dust everywhere, and Hagrid could only see some burned spiders on the edge.
He fell to the ground in a daze and murmured to himself.
"How did it become like this..."
The horse man who followed him also said with an angry look on his face.
"We also want to know who set the fire! The fire almost spread to our tribe. If the wind direction had not changed in the middle, our camp would have been burned out now!"
Hagrid was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses in front of the ashes of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider.
After returning to his hut, he immediately found Harry and the others.
It was only then that Harry and the others realized that the group of eight-eyed giant spiders were all burned to death.
But then Ron thought of something. He secretly pulled Harry's sleeve and said in a low voice.
"Do you remember what Professor Forrest said when we left the Forbidden Forest?"
Harry recalled a little and remembered what Sherlock said at that time.
"Professor said that the horses will put out fires, and he will have to settle the score with these spiders in the future because their venom can be sold for money?"
"Then, now the horses are not putting out the fire, and the spiders are gone, and the professor can't make a fortune..."
After Harry and Ron were ventilated, they looked speechless.
Although there is an unexpected factor in this, the main responsibility lies with Sherlock's crow's mouth.
But things have happened, and they have no way to change anything else.
And with the performance of Aragork indulging his descendants to attack them that night, Harry and the others felt that there was nothing wrong with the eight-eyed giant spider being burned to death.
So, Harry then told Hagrid all the things that happened in the original form.
Tell him that Sherlock set the fire to take them away, but the torch burned all the eight-eyed giant spiders to death, which they did not expect.
After hearing this, Haeger opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it out in the end. He sighed and shook his head and said.
"I don't blame you, this is the revenge that Aragork deserves. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been cleared of my guilt and was released by the Ministry of Magic so soon."
Harry and the others could see Hager's sadness, after all, he and Aragork had been in love for more than fifty years.
But they have never understood Hager's feelings for dangerous animals.
In his eyes, those creatures are harmless, but this is only for him.
In the eyes of others, dangerous creatures are dangerous creatures, and their inherently cruel nature cannot be changed.
After the Basilar Crisis was lifted, the Mandela grass cultivated by Professor Sprout also matured quickly.
Snape used them to make the medicine for understanding, which restored all four students who were petrified to normal.
With less than a month left before the end of this semester, Hogwarts students have entered the final final exam stage of this year.
Sherlock has determined the actual content of the Black Magic Defense Class exam, but he still has to continue to write the theoretical exam papers.
Fortunately, he had already completed most of it before, and now he only needs to spend a little more time to complete the rest.
So as the end of the period approaches, his time has been relaxed.
One morning three days before the final exam, Dumbledore asked the ghost to help call Sherlock to the principal's office.
Not only Dumbledore is the only one here, but also a witch in a black robe and a hood.
Sherlock didn't see her face clearly, but through her long silver-gray hair exposed from under her hat, she could still tell that she was a witch.
"You probably didn't have class this morning, right? Sherlock." Dumbledore asked.
Sherlock nodded.
Originally, he had classes for fifth and seventh years today, but these two grades had already taken the Wizard Level Examination held by the Ministry of Magic this year, so their course ended early.
"Then please help me with this lady Shilk from the German Ministry of Magic. She is here to visit the Forbidden Forest. If you take her to find Hagrid, he will take her to the forbidden Forest tomb."
The witch who called Shilk seemed a little taciturn. When Dumbledore introduced her, she did not speak out, but stood up from the chair and nodded slightly to Sherlock.
Sherlock had nothing to do today, so he agreed. He took Ms. Shilk out of the principal's office and headed to Haegel's cottage.
"My name is Sherlock Forrest."
On the way, Sherlock simply introduced himself, and there was no other communication between the two.
He came to Haeger's hut. When Haeger saw them knocking on the door and walking in, he panicked and hid something.
In a vague way, Sherlock saw the egg of some animal.
Suddenly, he asked suspiciously.
"What strange creature are you going to hatch again, Hagrid?"
Hagrid's face obviously seemed to be concealing something, he stammered.
"No, there is nothing Sherlock." Then he saw Shilk following Sherlock and changed the topic and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. This year it's time for Ms. Shilk to visit the grave again. Please come in. Do you want a cup of tea?"
Ms. Shilk shook her head, her voice a little cold.
"Thank you, but no need."
"Okay, please let me prepare..."
As Hager said that, she pulled Sherlock aside, held her hands together and begged, "Help Sherlock, I have other important things to do now. Please help me take this Ms. Shilk to the Forbidden Forest to visit the grave. I'll let Yaya lead you the way."
Sherlock secretly glanced at the black-robed witch with some confusion.
"She comes to Hogwarts to visit the grave every year?"
"Yes, it has been going on for almost ten years."
"Who is that? He actually put the grave in the forbidden forest?"
"It seems that it is her father and her father's friend. I don't know much about what, but it was Dumbledore who promised to bury them in the forbidden forest." Hagrid continued to ask, "Do you a favor, Sherlock, I really have something else today."
Sherlock looked at Hagrid seriously.
"I know you like these large magic creatures. Hagrid, but I still want to remind you that you may be friends with them, but it doesn't mean everyone can."
Hager said guiltily.
"I'll be a good deal."
Sherlock had no choice but to do anything to him, and that's what Hagrid's personality is.
He agreed to Hagrid's request and led Yaya to the forbidden forest with Ms. Shilk from the German Ministry of Magic.
The grave was located deep in the forbidden forest. Yaya took them in for about forty minutes before finally reaching the destination.
On the way, Sherlock had no communication with the witch, the other party didn't want to talk, and he didn't feel like chatting.
There were indeed two graves where Yaya brought them, and there were tombstones in front of the grave.
Out of curiosity, Sherlock glanced at the name on the tombstone.
The name on one monument is "Eddie Butler", and the name on the other monument is "John Watson".
Seeing this name, Sherlock couldn't help but complain in his heart. He didn't expect that there was actually someone in the magic world called John Watson.
So why isn't the tombstone next to it Sherlock Holmes?
Ms. Shilk took out two handfuls of flowers from somewhere, placed them in front of two graves, and then put them in one hand and prayed quietly.
Sherlock was tactfully away from here and was bored studying a tree-protecting pot.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, blowing down the hood on Shilk's head. Sherlock accidentally saw her delicate face and the ribbon that covered her eyes.
Shilk silently put the hood on again, and Sherlock turned his head as if nothing had happened.
They only stayed in front of this cemetery for less than an hour, then returned the same way and left the Forbidden Forest.
After tied the teeth in front of Hagrid's hut, Shilk lowered his head slightly to Sherlock.
"Thanks."
Sherlock waved his hand, indicating that it was just a small task, and watched the witch leave Hogwarts.
He muttered quietly as he looked at her back.
"It's so strange, don't you look at the road with your eyes..."
This incident was just a daily episode for Sherlock, and he didn't take it seriously because the final exam this year was about to begin.
Even if my daily study life is loose, the students in Hogwarts will become nervous when the final exam is approaching.
On the day of the exam, the second grade practical exam was held.
Sherlock also transformed the Tom Cat, who had not successfully challenged them when they first started school, as the content of the second grade practical examination.
Of course, the final score is determined based on their specific performance, not whether they can defeat Tom.
After all, it is still too difficult for second-year students to defeat Tom.
However, during the exam, Hermione gave Sherlock a surprise.
Although she lie in the school hospital for a few days and delayed some defense classes, she still defeated Tom through a flexible transformation curse application, becoming the first student in the entire second grade to defeat Tom.
So Sherlock gave her an O evaluation directly.
After the wizard level exams for the fifth and seventh grades, they were also very excited.
Before the grade exam, Sherlock gave them several guessing questions based on the habits of the Ministry of Magic’s question-makers in previous years.
Senior students all reported that Sherlock's prediction was very accurate, and almost 80% of the questions were guessed by him.
Some students even hugged his arm and cried loudly, saying that their efforts were not in vain and that they would definitely get an O evaluation in the Black Magic Defense Level Test, which will lay an important foundation for his ideal of becoming an Auror in the future.
Sherlock, who has been a professor for one year, is also very pleased to see their current performance.
