Chapter 47 47: Stay away from conspiracy theories!
The path is winding.
The setting sun shines through the treetops and shines mottledly on the bluestone, covering the path leading to Hogwarts with a golden-red gauze.
The end of the road.
The majestic castle seems to tower on the horizon.
"Cunning brat, you actually dare to use that girl as a servant. Do you know who she is?" Snape seemed to have been paying attention to the situation behind him.
Seeing Ian trotting up to his side, he originally planned to ignore Ian all the way, but he couldn't help but remind Ian aloud.
"What servant? This is obviously voluntary help from a good friend!" Ian corrected Snape, and the voice of the last part was slightly amplified.
"I think you are seeking your own death!"
Snape couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked towards Aurora who was seven or eight meters behind, trying to take it from Aurora. Pass the suitcase that belonged to Ian.
"What are you going to do?"
Unexpectedly, Aurora hid the suitcase behind her, avoiding Snape's outstretched hand. She even looked at him with a wary look. Snape.
“…”
Snape was speechless.
His wrinkled face twitched twice.
The hand in the air flicked the sleeve as if out of breath, and walked back quickly, directly past Ian and heading into the depths of the forest without looking back.
“I’ll treat you to the secret meal prepared by the house elf later.”
Ian stood there, waiting for Aurora to come over, and immediately made a promise.
Aurora did not respond.
Walking side by side with Ian.
One hand dragged a suitcase along the rugged path.
“I don’t know if this thing is edible.”
Ian saw a vine full of huge fruits on the side of the road. He hesitated for a moment, but ran over and picked one. He put it to his mouth and took a careful bite.
The souls from the East always seem to be curious about eating.
“It’s so sweet, do you want to try it?”
Ian handed the unbitten side to Aurora.
“…”
Aurora was silent.
“It’s really sweet.”
Ian continued his sales pitch.
Looking at Ian's somewhat distorted face, Aurora, who had always managed her emotions well, finally couldn't stand it any longer, and she sighed helplessly in response.
“This is called sour berry, and it is the main ingredient in making acid enhancer.”
Obviously.
Germanic girls should also be involved in a lot of herbal medicine.
“The dog won’t eat even if you give it to the dog.” Seeing that his little trick didn’t work, Ian was a little disappointed, and then he threw away the fruit in his hand in disgust.
"But you ate it, and you also wanted to trick me into eating it."
Aurora's tone was as calm as ever.
"I want to share the joys and sorrows with you, how can this be called cheating..."
This time it was Ian's turn to remain silent.
The atmosphere is a little awkward.
Fortunately, this strange silence did not last long. The two of them followed Snape through the path of the dense forest. Suddenly, the narrow road suddenly opened up.
A huge lake appeared in front of them.
The black lake surface has some ripples, and the afterglow of the setting sun cannot penetrate it, making it impossible to see what is hidden in this lake.
Black Lake.
One of the famous attractions in Hogwarts.
in front of it.
The ancient castle in the mountain stands majestically, with countless turrets and towers on the castle.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Ian stared at the scene ahead with some excitement.
“It is indeed much more majestic than the illustrations in the book.”
Aurora's eyes were looking at the castle for a long time without moving away.
“Hogwarts: A School History?”
Ian took his suitcase from the girl. He saw that the girl's arms were shaking slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of excessive exertion along the way.
"It's "The Rise and Fall of Hogwarts."" Aurora put her free hand behind her back.
Just then.
"Wait here. The students on the other side of the school bus will be here soon. You two will take the boat into the school with them." Snape gave Aurora a deep look.
He glared at Ian again with a warning look.
“Can’t you just take us in?”
Ian felt that the temperature was dropping and it might even rain.
"This is the rule."
Snape responded coldly, and then his whole person turned into a gray smoke. In Ian's view, it looked like a monkey running towards the sky. Hogwarts Castle.
“Hey, these are some inexplicable rules.”
Ian squatted down by the lake, inserted his hand into the cold lake water, and started stirring it out of boredom.
"The four founders of Hogwarts took a boat to the opposite side to establish Hogwarts." Aurora also walked to the side of the black lake, her strange-colored eyes staring at the lake. What to look for.
Ian began to think thoughtfully, and after a moment he suddenly realized, "Maybe the rules were set by Slytherin. When he got seasick himself, he wanted others to get seasick too."
Hearing this.
Aurora tilted her head and looked at the boy who was still stirring the lake water.
"I don't think such a powerful wizard would have such childish and evil tastes as you." She kept dragging her luggage with her hand, not knowing how much forbidden knowledge was contained in it.
“You don’t understand, some men are petty until death.”
Ian suddenly felt that his finger inserted into the lake water was a little tight. He quickly took it out and saw a small squid wrapped around his finger.
"Giant squid cub."
Aurora's tone was a little surprised.
"It's not a mermaid cub, bad review." Ian flicked his fingers and threw the little squid back into the lake. He took out a piece of toilet paper and wiped the mucus on his hands.
"There are only Scottish lake monsters in this lake. Whether they are cubs or adults, they all have quite ugly looks. I think you will not want to encounter them."
Aurora also stretched out her hand to catch a giant squid cub from the lake, but she kept her hand in the lake for a long time, but no giant squid cub took the bait.
I don’t know if it was because of boredom, but she also started paddling in the lake like Ian.
"On the day we killed the dark wizard together, Dumbledore agreed to my application for admission." Suddenly, Aurora said suddenly.
“Hiss~”
Ian took a deep breath, “Didn’t you kill him?”
Aurora turned her head and looked at him.
“It’s the same.”
After a slight hesitation, Aurora added an unprecedented explanation to her concise words, “I just took action before you did. .”
She apparently noticed Ian’s behavior that day as well.
"Let's talk about enrollment. Why did you mention this suddenly?" Ian observed the dense forest behind him and waited for the arrival of the new students.
"Craft said that this method of giving you hope at the last moment is one of Dumbledore's usual tricks." Aurora's eyes were always watching the water in the lake.
"You need to be cautious, he is better at playing with people's hearts than my grandfather..." Her strange-colored eyes were shaking, and it was obvious that her inner emotions were constantly ups and downs.
“Your idea is too much of a conspiracy theory.”
“Of course, it is always right to be more cautious.”
Ian does not deny that Deng Bullido was concerned about the dangers of black magic learners, but after several contacts, he still had a relatively positive view of his principal.
Speak with your conscience.
Replace the identities of both parties.
As the most powerful wizard in the 20th century, but also being disgustingly targeted by all forces, Ian felt that if it were him, he might be tempted not to eat beef.
Self-control.
In fact, that is what makes Dumbledore great.
"Maybe."
Aurora was noncommittal.
“They are coming.”
The girl under the afterglow of the setting sun suddenly spoke.
“What’s coming?”
Ian's words had just left his mouth.
Behind.
Noisy movements followed one after another.
The hybrid giant led a group of curious and nervous little wizards through the dense forest.
