During lunch time, Snape did not appear in the cafeteria, and even Dumbledore disappeared.
At the Gryffindor table, Seamus waved a chicken leg as a wand and told everyone how Charles had saved Neville and himself.
"Well done!"
"Not bad!"
As the Weasley twins spoke, they kept adding chicken legs and steaks to Charles' plate.
Fred said: "It turns out you are so good. We felt relieved when we... studied how to get the bag in the afternoon."
George also said: "Maybe we can... conduct more in-depth research."
The sixth baby looked at the fourth and fifth babies in confusion, feeling that they were talking about something else.
After lunch, Charles and the twins were about to leave the castle when they met Professor McGonagall.
"Mr. Weasley," Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression, "please come to the office with me. I need you to explain why the fire in the common room's fireplace can freeze water." p>
Fred and George are instantly stunned.
Professor McGonagall asked Charles again: "Where are you going?"
Charles and the others already had an excuse: "Professor Sprout gave me permission to plant some moondew flowers in the open space near the greenhouse, and I asked the two Mr. Weasleys to help weed weeds."
He just handed the marked map to Professor Sprout before lunch. All the herbs were correct, so the professor pointed out a piece of land to him on the map.
Professor McGonagall had no doubts. Sprout had told him about this during lunch, jokingly saying that he might as well just let Charles transfer to another school.
So Charles could only walk out of the castle by himself and go to the greenhouse to have a look.
The land given by Professor Sprout is quite good. Not far away is the stream flowing out of the Forbidden Forest. The stream bypasses behind the castle and eventually flows into the big lake.
Charles looked at the stream and thought for a long time. Maybe if he walked along the water a little further into the Forbidden Forest, he would be fine. In the worst case, he would just return the same way.
As soon as this idea came up, I couldn't hold it back, and my curiosity about the Forbidden Forest quickly took over.
He looked around and saw no one, so he picked up his wand and walked along the stream towards the Forbidden Forest.
It is already autumn, there are many fallen leaves on the ground, and some short plants are beginning to wither.
The surrounding trees are very tall, and the tree roots on the ground are crisscrossed and covered with moss.
From time to time, a spotted bird flies by in the forest. It makes no sound, so it must be the Silent Bird.
From time to time, big dead trees fall in the forest, covered with bright or simple mushrooms.
There are several dead mice around these mushrooms, and the fur-ball-like cattails are performing their duties as scavengers.
Charles just wrote down the appearance characteristics of the mushrooms not far away, and would not touch them until he found out whether they were dangerous.
Black shadows appear from time to time in the distance of the woods. They are the Thestrals raised in Hogwarts.
Occasionally, a white figure will appear, probably a unicorn.
Charles unknowingly walked a long way and came to the source of the creek, a small lake half the size of a football field.
Suddenly, a girl's scream came from not far away!
Charles was stunned, wondering if there were other students here?
He ran over in a hurry, and what he saw in front of him shocked him.
Next to a blueberry bush, a centaur girl was using a bow and arrow to confront five Acromantulas about the same size as herself, but these spiders had already surrounded her.
At the moment when the white spider web was about to touch the body of the centaur girl, a huge force pulled her up out of thin air, flew out of the encirclement and landed by the lake.
When the Acromantulas saw their dinner flying away, they hurriedly turned around, saw Charles who could also make dinner, and rushed towards the lake.
The corner of Charles' mouth twitched, and now he knew where the old man went to buy groceries.
He used his wand to cast a flying spell at the fastest and largest Acromantula, followed by a throwing spell, smashing the second fastest one to the floor and knocking down the third one.
.
Then he cast a combination of the Floating Curse and the Fighting Curse on the fourth Acromantula, slamming it to the ground, making a sound like a water bag being cracked.
At this time, the fifth Acromantula rushed over from another direction. Charles turned around and used the Flying Curse on the quiver on the centaur girl's waist, took out all ten arrows, and then used the Throwing Curse to throw them. The sharp arrow penetrated the Acromantula's shell at once, and it seemed to have a crown growing on its head, and it died on the spot.
The second of the three Acromantulas at the beginning was smashed to death by his companion. The third one had already climbed up, but was immediately caught by the Flying Curse, and was then thrown to a big tree in the distance.
The largest Acromantula was a little dazed just now, and after it regained consciousness, it continued to rush towards Charles.
The next moment, the sound of the shell breaking and the meat paste being crushed was heard.
A group of centaurs with bows and arrows rushed over immediately after hearing the girl's cry. When they rushed out of the woods, they happened to see a human cub using a magic spell to throw a big stone and kill the last eight-eyed one.
Giant Spider.
The centaurs circled around, but there were no living Acromantulas around. One of them was killed by a boulder, the second one had its head and front body smashed by a giant object, and the third one was pierced by a branch.
The body of Toru is hanging on the tree, the belly of the fourth one is like a torn bag with a gaping hole, and the head of the fifth one is full of arrows.
Charles put away his wand and looked at the centaur who was inspecting the scene.
The centaurs are bounded by their navel. Their upper body is a human with slightly dark skin, and their lower body is a horse. Their coat color is the same as their hair. Different centaurs have different colors. They carry huge bows and quivers on their backs.
All the centaurs were naked, including the girl.
Charles was considered well-informed and would not lose his temper because of this, nor did he react too much, making them feel that he actually cared about this matter.
The centaur girl walked up to Charles and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for saving my life, otherwise I would have been eaten by the Acromantula."
Charles thought that he could be regarded as a hero saving the beauty today, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, this is the guidance of fate."
He saw that this centaur girl looked about the same age as himself, her skin was not as dark as that of an adult centaur, and her face showed that she would be a great beauty.
"My name is Twilight, what's your name?"
"My name is Charles Smith."
Not long after Charles and her exchanged names, the adult centaurs came over.
Twilight stepped forward and said to the leading centaur uncle: "Uncle Ronan, I was almost killed by the Acromantula just now. It was this Charles Smith who saved me!"
Ronan walked up to Charles, saluted him slightly and said, "Thank you very much for saving Twilight, your brave pony."
Charles politely replied: "This is the guidance of the stars."
Ronan felt that he sounded comfortable and his attitude was better, so he asked again: "Brave pony, have you been to the Forbidden Forest before?"
Charles shook his head and said: "I am a first-year student at Hogwarts, and the stars led me here for the first time."
Ronan invited Charles back to the tribe as a guest, so he should thank him.
Charles was very curious about the centaur tribe, so he happily agreed.
But what Ronan and the others did next made him a little confused.
The centaurs cut off all eight legs from the Acromantula corpse and threw them into the lake.
