The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 429: Shock in the Forbidden Forest

"Eat more, why do you look so worried today?"

Zhang Qi ate the still hot barbecue with big mouthfuls, and then glanced at Astoria strangely.

This girl has been a little distracted since the two had a draw yesterday, and she doesn't know why.

"Well, I just want to know, who of you two won in the end?"

Astoria asked nervously after a moment of silence.

"Well, the final score is a draw, but it has not been announced yet. It will be announced before the next game."

Zhang Qi blinked. He didn't quite understand why the girl paid so much attention to the score of this competition.

"Ah, that's good, that's good."

Astoria was visibly relieved after hearing this explanation, then picked up a chicken drumstick with a fork and put it on her plate.

"The Weasley twins opened the market? How much did you bet"?

Zhang Qi frowned and asked.

"Not much, 10 gold coins, I just want to see if I can get my money back."

Astoria immediately understood that Zhang Qi did not know about the bet between her and Shen Meng, so she immediately changed the topic in another direction.

"You're not short of money at all, it's just 10 gold coins, which is your daily pocket money"...

Zhang Qi sighed, thinking that this girl might have been afraid of poverty before, but the pocket money her sister gave her was actually quite a lot now.

Moreover, Zhang Qi has seen Hekmedia secretly stuffing money into Astoria's small bag several times, and the items stuffed were all Gringotts Bank notes, starting with at least 100 Galleons.

You are not so kind to your own son!

Zhang Qi thought a little sourly.

"Well, it's good to make a little money."

Astoria blinked innocently.

"Okay, but this thing is risky, you just have to figure it out yourself."

Zhang Qi shook his head.

"Huh? Where is Hagrid? Why didn't he come?"

Astoria glanced around the staff table and asked with some confusion.

"He and Madame Maxime are very close, let us wish him the best."

Zhang Qi said vaguely.

"Huh? The two of them do match each other very well, but Hagrid is the same"...

Astoria's eyes widened in shock, and then she suddenly stopped what she wanted to say.

"It seems that you have guessed it. The magical world in France is relatively romantic. The acceptance of wizards who are not pure humans is relatively higher than here, but those half-human wizards will still be discriminated against."

Zhang Qi put the last piece of barbecue on the plate into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"I think I told you before, the only way for these half-human wizards to prove themselves is to achieve great achievements. For example, Professor Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw, is a hybrid of elf and human. I was also discriminated against when I was in school."

"But Professor Flitwick has won the duel championship three times in a row and is versatile. He has extremely high attainments in both music and baking, so no one will discriminate against him."

Astoria nodded in understanding.

"Yes, strength is always the first criterion to measure a person, but the expression of strength is not necessarily violence. Strategy is also a kind of strength."

Zhang Qi nodded approvingly.

"Then which one do you belong to?"

Astoria blinked and asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit of everything."

Zhang Qi smiled and said the most famous line said by Donnie Yen in the movie "Ip Man".

"cut".

Astoria rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to say something more.

"Boom"!

But at this moment, the door of the castle was slammed open!

"Dumbledore"!

A huge figure covered in blood suddenly ran in from the door. That person was Hagrid!

Hagrid's body was covered with mud and blood, and was covered with very hideous-looking wounds. He ran towards here with a somewhat messy step.

Gu Yan "Plop"!

The mud on the soles of his shoes was obviously very slippery. As soon as Hagrid's feet stepped onto the floor of the auditorium, he slipped and fell heavily to the ground, right next to Zhang Qi.

"Madam Pomfrey! Someone here needs help"!

Zhang Qi immediately jumped up from the stool and squatted next to Hagrid while shouting.

"I, I'm fine"!

Hagrid struggled to get up from the ground, and then shouted anxiously:

"Dumbledore! Something has sneaked into the Forbidden Forest. It has eaten a unicorn. The centaurs led by Frenze are trying hard to stop it, but they can't last long!"

"what"?

Dumbledore immediately stood up from his table and walked quickly down the steps.

"In which direction"?

Dumbledore asked in a deep voice.

"The center of the Acromantula's lair before has now become the center of the centaurs' activities."

Hagrid said while coughing.

"I will go with you".

Zhang Qi stood up.

"I also need to go".

Astoria immediately grabbed a napkin to wipe the grease from her mouth, and then stood up quickly.

"Follow me...Ms. Xu Lin"!

Dumbledore nodded, and then waved towards the VIP seats.

"The students in the auditorium are begging you!"

"Please don't worry."

Xu Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, then stood up, placed an aluminum alloy box that had been placed at her feet on the table, opened it, and pulled out a long black mace in her hand. Weighed it twice.

The moment the weapon was taken out, the temperature in the auditorium seemed to drop a little, as if a cold wind suddenly blew through.

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on everyone's body.

"Fox".

Dumbledore said in a low voice.

The golden-red bird, several times larger than before, suddenly appeared in a ball of flames, and then let out a loud cry.

After that cry, the originally panicked students seemed to suddenly have courage in their hearts and their emotions became much calmer.

Golden-red flames exploded, and several people disappeared into a whirlpool.

"Everyone, please continue eating. We still need to continue now."

Professor McGonagall stood up and began to maintain order among the students.

"Little Anderson, give me your bottle of holy water."

Kel'Thuzad, who had already frowned, walked down from the staff chair, squatted next to Hagrid and carefully inspected the wound before waving to Anderson.

"Tsk, the necromancer actually needs the priest's holy water"?

Anderson sneered sharply, but still handed it over like a holy silver bottle.

"Did you see anything?"

"The tentacles were torn. The wounds on his body were caused by a piece of flesh being torn off by the suction cup. This gave me a bad premonition."

Kel'Thuzad slowly opened the small silver bottle, then picked up a large beer glass from the side, filled it with beer and poured two drops into it.

"Mr. Hagrid, please drink this."

"thanks".

Hagrid, who was still in shock, took the cup and drank the beer in one gulp.

"Uh, why does it taste a little weird?"

Hagrid smacked his lips after drinking the beer, showing a very disgusted expression.
