After making arrangements for the punishment of Malfoy and the Weasley twins, Aaron walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
He came out specifically this time to talk to the Weasley twins just by the way, and catching Malfoy was even more unexpected - who made him unlucky.
Aaron actually came to the Forbidden Forest.
When he was a student, Aaron was very interested in the Forbidden Forest - it was a perfect place for him to conduct experiments. If he brewed a potion here, Snape would not be able to detect it no matter how long his nose was.
However, this forest is indeed very dangerous. There are many dangerous beasts inside, as well as some magical creatures that stick to their own territory - normally, they are not dangerous, but if you infringe on their territory, you'd better pray that they are napping.
Therefore, when Aaron once stumbled into the Forbidden Forest and met Hagrid who just came out of it, he was startled. He quickly picked up Aaron's collar and took him away forcefully. Returned to his cabin.
This is also the first time Aaron and Hagrid meet.
Later, after the two became familiar with each other, Hagrid knew about Aaron's extraordinary qualities and could not resist Aaron's repeated requests. In desperation, he could only take him with him when entering the Forbidden Forest.
Of course Aaron was happy to be able to enter the Forbidden Forest. In particular, Hagrid was very generous. The magic materials dropped from magical animals would be worth a lot of money outside, but Hagrid just waved his hand and let him take them away.
However, although Hagrid is a rough man, he also knows what is important. With Hagrid, Aaron could only wander around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, without any room for exploration.
And now, he has.
There are many benefits to becoming a professor at Hogwarts. The biggest benefit is that the school rules that once restricted him are now almost ineffective, and Aaron can freely explore the traces of magic in this school.
In the restricted book section of the library, while collecting magic books, Runas came across a book that could not be opened——
This is a normal thing. Books in the wizarding world are different from those of Muggles. Many times, they are not willing to hand over the knowledge they keep to readers honestly.
In this case, it's not bad just that it can't be opened. Some magic books have some protective spells, which can bring curse-like effects to people-such as making you blind for life.
But Aaron did not encounter this situation. The book was just a prank-like spell, and Aaron easily broke it.
After opening it, Aaron discovered that it was not a book, but a notebook, probably from someone who had attended Hogwarts, recording his gains from exploring the Forbidden Forest.
According to the records of the owner of the notebook, the Forbidden Forest is actually much larger than Aaron imagined. It can even be connected to the mountains in the distance and to a strange world somewhere.
The Forbidden Forest has been around longer than Hogwarts. More than a thousand years ago, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff - the four giants of Hogwarts came here.
They created a magic school here and set up powerful protective magic to prevent Muggles from discovering it.
This magic included a part of the Forbidden Forest, which was known as the Forbidden Forest to the teachers and students of Hogwarts, the Safe Zone - that's what the owner of the note called it.
The area not covered by magic is another area of the Forbidden Forest - the Danger Zone, which is also the name of the owner of the note.
From a long time ago, the Forbidden Forest was the habitat of various magical animals and dark creatures. At that time, the forest was wild and primitive, full of all kinds of blood and violence.
When the Four Giants created Hogwarts, they expelled too many dangerous creatures living in the safe area near Hogwarts and drove them to live in the dangerous area.
However, the Big Four did not destroy the forest.
They are broad-minded, and since they are willing to spend all their energy to create a magic school to protect the little wizards, they will certainly not be stingy about leaving a forest for less dangerous magical animals to thrive.
Perhaps, in the imagination of the Big Four, the Forbidden Forest should have been divided into two parts, and the part near Hogwarts could exist as a conservation area for magical animals.
It will become safe after generations of cleaning, and dangerous creatures will all be driven into the danger zone to live.
This will provide opportunities for future students to get in touch with the living environment of magical animals and integrate into the natural ecology.
However, their plan failed in the end, and the current Forbidden Forest is not safe either inside or outside.
There is probably no one among these four giants who knows the art of divination. Even if they did, they would not have thought that more than a thousand years later, a hero named Hagrid would appear in their school.
…
Aaron walked in the dense jungle.
The ancient trees in the Forbidden Forest are towering, and their twisted branches stretch across the air like ghost hands. It is still afternoon, but there is little sunshine here, making it look gloomy.
There were shadows all around, as if there were ghosts floating around, and the strong smell of beasts came from Aaron's nose. He could feel that something seemed to be following him since he entered the forest.
But Aaron didn't care. He continued deeper, holding a notebook in his hand. The owner of the notebook had found an amazing place in the Forbidden Forest, and hoped it was still there.
Walking through the habitat of a group of hippogriffs, Aaron saw one of them picking up dead branches to build a nest, like a bird, which was a sign that it was preparing to lay eggs.
These rare and magical creatures were wary when they saw strangers intruding into their territory, but they did not pay much attention and continued to eat lazily, the red rabbit meat flashing away in their eagle-like pointed mouths.
Beyond the habitat, Aaron could already see the trickling stream.
According to the owner of the note, this stream is the boundary between the safe area and the dangerous area in the Forbidden Forest, and he once found a very interesting place near this stream.
At this moment, a gust of fishy wind came from behind Aaron!
A frighteningly large gray wolf with shiny hair rushed towards his back. Aaron dodged, raised his head, and shot a petrifying spell at the gray wolf.
It hits the target... but has no effect. This is obviously not an ordinary wolf. It has extraordinary resistance to magic.
The gray wolf slowly circled around Aaron - it was as big as a calf, and looked at the human who had rashly entered the forest with a pair of fierce eyes - it seemed that it couldn't figure out why Aaron dared to go deep into the dangerous forest alone. Forbidden forest.
But this didn't matter to the gray wolf. It opened its long and narrow snout, and its sharp teeth were covered with fishy saliva.
Fresh blood food will be available soon, it thought.
