Chapter 340 338 Cedric Diggory

Chapter 340 338. Cedric Diggory

Jon searched for a while in the abandoned centaur tribe, hoping to find more useful information.

However, like the dead spiders, it looked like something had happened a long time ago. Even if there was some information left at the beginning, nothing could be found until now.

However, Jon didn't see at least one dead centaur here, which was a good thing in a disguised way.

After all, centaurs are much smarter than those eight-eyed giant spiders. If Voldemort plans to send people to wipe them out, they must know that even if all the centaurs in the world join in, they will not be able to resist.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the centaurs will be unscathed, but it is estimated that they will not be slaughtered directly.

Now where the centaurs have fled to, Hoss doesn't know, and Jon doesn't think it's necessary to waste time to continue looking. Even if some of the centaurs are hiding in the forbidden forest, he can contact them, which will not be of much help to them.

"There is one last one, Morris. Hagrid said it is a dog with a strange tail. Can you find it?"

Jon asked Hoss about the last name Hagrid left him, but Hoss stared at him and finally shook his head.

It seems that he doesn't know this dog named Morris.

Jon didn't worry too much about it. Being able to do this now is far beyond his previous expectations. Even if there is no news about Morris in the end, he thinks that the information he has now is enough for Hagrid to digest for a while.

Today is just right according to Jon's calculation. Hagrid's request has basically been completed. In the next period of time, he will start to focus on the competition.

However, Jon is not in a hurry to find a way to deal with those fire dragons tonight. Although Hoss is a bit more lustful, having him around can help Jon save a lot of trouble.

At least he doesn't have to worry about rushing in the Forbidden Forest to find the location of those fire dragons.

The night gradually enveloped the entire Forbidden Forest. Jon did not move to other places, but chose to set up a bonfire in the center of this abandoned tribe. Then he wandered in the nearby woods for a while and caught a few wild rabbits.

I don’t know how Voldemort controlled and managed this Forbidden Forest after controlling Hogwarts Castle, but except for the actions against the Acromantula and the Centaur, the ecology of the entire Forbidden Forest looks very natural. Whether it is magical animals or ordinary animals here, they all seem to have never seen humans. When Jon was catching rabbits, these stupid rabbits didn’t react until he grabbed their ears, and then they kicked their legs to resist.

When Hoss saw that he had caught the prey, his eyes showed a look of regret. When Jon was dealing with the rabbit, he happened to meet its eyes.

At that moment, he could guess what this pervert was thinking.

"Are you lamenting why I didn't catch a doe or something, so I could let you have some fun before eating?"

Hoss' eyes were shining, and he kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice, as if he thought Jon could guess what he was thinking, and he probably wouldn't mind adding a doe to his meal later.

However, the next second, Jon slapped his lustful face.

"You are really perverted. I will ask Hagrid when I get back, whether you were raised like this by him since you were a child, or you learned bad things after leaving him. You really never forget to find a doe when you do anything."

Hoss was not embarrassed by Jon's lecture. He shook his mouth nonchalantly, as if he wanted to argue with Jon that this was the nature of animals.

Jon was too lazy to pay attention to it. He put the processed rabbit on the fire and skillfully prepared dinner for tonight.

When they were on the Hogwarts, Jon and his students often made barbecues on the deck of the ship. Although his cooking skills were not perfect, they were not bad.

At least after he tore a rabbit leg for Hoss (as a Pegasus, it also eats meat), it seemed quite satisfied with Jon's cooking skills.

As the night deepened, Jon was making some small plans for tomorrow's actions by the campfire.

He was not paralyzed or careless about the dragon, and he did not believe that the Beauxbatons warrior named Emil was really unprepared in this Triwizard Tournament.

As the two people selected to participate in this game for Voldemort, Jon actually made a test early this morning.

He knocked down Draco and threw him out of the specified range of the game in front of Voldemort. He did not intend to anger the man. Jon actually wanted to see whether Voldemort expected these two people to win the final victory of the game.

From his calm reaction when Draco was eliminated, Jon could not tell what kind of expectations he had for the eldest son of the Malfoy family.

Emile, on the other hand, was indeed very ruthless at a young age. He actually used Draco as a human shield to block the spell in front of Draco's father. This was not something that a student who had not yet graduated could do. Judging from his behavior, he should be given more hope by Voldemort.

Therefore, Jon actually had some ideas to look for the Emir in the Forbidden Forest. After all, there was no restriction in the rules of the game. They could not attack each other to snatch the Golden Snitch that the other party had already obtained. He wanted to see what sample the Emir had. .

Gains and losses in a game are nothing. Obtaining the opponent's exact information will have the greatest benefit for all subsequent plans.

Jon thought this, and lay down on the blanket created by the transfiguration spell with a piece of weed in his mouth. After dinner, Hoss ran out to have fun. Jon did not restrain it, but only warned it that it must Come back before dawn tomorrow, and if it goes rolling on the grass with some strange animals, you must clean yourself up before coming back, or put it on a bonfire to disinfect first.

Just as Jon was looking at the starry sky that was mostly covered by the branches and leaves of trees, he suddenly felt a different feeling in his heart!

This feeling was very strange, as if it was some kind of premonition. Then Jon raised the wand in his hand without hesitation and pointed the tip of the wand at a bush behind him!

"All petrified!"

Without any hesitation, the bright petrification spell shot out from his wand, and in the next moment, it penetrated the dense grass blades!

Jon could clearly hear a panicked commotion, followed by rapid footsteps.

The petrifying spell didn't hit, and that person had to run away!

He frowned and stood up from the bonfire, not taking the risk to chase him immediately. If Hoss was still with him, he might have chased him without hesitation, but now even if he used the ring to fly, It is not easy to catch a person in such dense woods and dark environment.

What's more, no one knows if this is a trap. He has not forgotten that this Forbidden Forest can be said to be Voldemort's home court. If he has the idea to make some small moves in it, it will definitely not be difficult. .

Jon walked towards the bush that was pierced by his petrification spell, and soon found a piece of rag among the broken leaves.

This was obviously left by the person before. Jon's petrification spell did not hit his body directly, but it shattered his robe. However, Jon couldn't tell much from this piece of cloth alone. .

What he can be sure of is that the Emir who is clearly hostile to him in the Forbidden Forest is definitely not wearing a robe of this color and style, and it is definitely not Diane's. Its owner is more likely to have participated in the Triwizard Tournament. other outsiders.

So where could this outsider come from?

Jon walked back to the campfire and stared at the piece of cloth, the dancing firelight reflecting on his face.

At dawn, Cedric sat up from the four-poster bed with a haggard expression.

Most of his roommates in the dormitory were already dressed and ready to go to the auditorium to have breakfast. They were all waiting for Cedric.

"You seem to be in a bad state, Cedric. Would you like us to bring you breakfast and help you get a leave from the professor?"

Cedric's state did make people feel a little bad. He stared blankly at the scene beside the bed for a while, and then nodded to the classmate who told him.

"Thank you, Armand, please help me ask the professor for half a day's leave. Just say that I don't feel well."

He is very popular among his classmates, and everyone in his dormitory is very concerned about his health.

"Then you have a good rest and we will explain it clearly to the professor."

After watching them leave the dormitory, and being the only one left in the room, Cedric lay back on the bed. He did not catch up on his sleep immediately, but stared blankly with his eyes broken.

One of the reasons for his poor condition was that he slept fitfully, and would wake up from his dreams from time to time.

Even now, he is extremely mentally exhausted, but he still doesn't have much sleepiness. He is still in a state where his brain is not sure whether it is focused or empty, thinking about some treasonous things.

Not long after, the roommate named Armand came back and brought him breakfast. After Cedric finished a sandwich with bacon and ham, he lay back on the bed.

Outside the dormitory, the sun had gradually risen. He changed his position from the bed, looked at the sunlight shining into the dormitory, and thought silently in his heart, the three people participating in the Triwizard Tournament in the Forbidden Forest were probably Let’s start a new day of action.

Regarding the fact that Draco was eliminated on the first day of the competition, the news spread to the entire Hogwarts Castle students during dinner last night.

However, after understanding the whole process, not many people ridiculed Draco. This was not because the eldest son of the Malfoy family was so popular in school, but because mixed-race students did not dare to be casual in private. They were talking about pure-blood students, and because Lucius was now maintaining law and order in the school, the pure-blood students only expressed a few words of dissatisfaction and did not go too far.

He said nothing to Draco and scolded Jon, but these students didn't care at all.

What villain is attacking from behind? What is the little dark wizard student who was taught by the dark wizard Dumbledore? What is it that only such a lowly status can allow him to do such a lowly thing? Anyway, he can smear and abuse him as much as he can.

Whether they are pure-blood students or mixed-blood students, the trend is like this. They have developed their own sense of belonging under the education of Hogwarts led by Voldemort, and such a sense of belonging will certainly not lean towards Dumbledore and others.

However, Cedric has a different view on these things from others. He has been trying his best to dissuade the classmates around him from insulting someone indiscriminately behind their backs. But even if he is popular among others, no one will listen to his advice at this time. On the contrary, many people persuaded him not to think about these big principles at this time. The enemy has come to their doorstep. What can't they say?

But Cedric has a sentence hidden in his heart.

Who is their enemy and where is their home?

Fortunately, he still has a sense of measure in his heart. He knows that if some words are said, it will not only affect him, but also his father who works in the Ministry of Magic will be implicated by him.

Just as he was lying on the bed in the dormitory thinking, there was a knock on the door, followed by a gentle female voice.

"Mr. Diggory, can I come in?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Cedric felt a little flustered, but soon he suppressed the panic and responded in a slightly weak voice.

"Please come in."

The one who came in was an elderly witch with a tall and thin figure and a concerned expression on her face.

Adrianna Greengrass, the current helmsman of the pure-blood family - the Greengrass family, is also the dean of the Half-Blood Academy of Hogwarts Castle and a professor of Transfiguration.

Although she is a pure-blood, she has always had a high reputation among half-blood students. She has never shown a clear difference in treating pure-blood and half-blood students. For this reason, many pure-blood professors and students have some criticism behind her.

After entering the dormitory, the witch walked straight to Cedric's side.

"I received the reason for Armand's request for leave. He said you seem to have caught a cold and feel unwell?"

"Thank you for coming all the way here, Professor. It may be that I was blown by the cold wind after Quidditch training yesterday. I feel a little dizzy when I wake up this morning."

"Your father and I are old friends. He also asked me to take care of you in school. You have always been his pride. Therefore, since you are sick, of course I have to come to see you. How do you feel now? Do you want me to take you to the school hospital for a check-up?"
