Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 129 The Emerald Forest
All the way to the location of the Whomping Willow, cast a floating spell and hit a scar somewhere on the Whomping Willow with a small stone.

Suddenly, the Whomping Willow, which had started waving its branches because of John's arrival, quieted down, as if it had turned into a real willow tree.

John passed through the gap between the Whomping Willow rhizomes, entered the secret passage below, and rushed towards the Shrieking Shack.

The Shrieking Shack is an abandoned house in Hogsmeade village.

In the eyes of the residents of Hogsmeade, this is a haunted house, and it is also the most haunted place in the whole of England.

The Screaming Shack is also named after the terrifying screams and ghost howls that were often heard here more than 20 years ago.

But the screams haven't been heard here for many years, but the reputation is just as terrible.

The windows of the Screaming Shack were broken and bolted up in haphazard ways.

Outside the house was a damp, muddy, weedy, broken garden.All the entrances were sealed, not even George and Fred could get in, and Hogwarts ghosts avoided going there.

But in fact, this is not a scary haunted house, but once full of friendship and warmth.

It was once here that three teenagers chose to accompany their werewolf friends through the difficult night of the full moon.

Once John entered the room, he saw Crookshanks squatting on top of a cupboard, while Sirius returned to human form and sat on the cleansing couch.

Sirius stared blankly in a certain direction, obviously he was caught in the memory, because at this moment he had a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Sirius." John called out, and Sirius pulled away from his memory and looked at John.

John ignored Sirius' lonely expression, and directly linked the curse to look at where Scabbers was.

At this moment, the Pettigrew Peter transformed into Scabbers was randomly placed on the table, and there was a very deep wound on its abdomen, which seemed to be caught by Crookshanks.

At the same time, there is a somewhat terrifying blood hole next to the wound, which is obviously caused by Sirius, and only his transformed canines can leave such a wound.

John stretched out his hand to feel it, and the magic eyes in the palm of his hand entered Banban's wound. After checking, he confirmed that there was no problem with the other's vital signs for the time being.

After all, Scabbers is not a real mouse, he is already a wizard in the form of an Animagus, even if he becomes an animal, it will have a great impact on him, but such injuries are obviously not as serious as what Sirius said.

But John can also understand why Sirius reacted so strongly. After all, John and Sirius have made a plan, and he must clear up his grievances before killing him.

The situation at that time estimated that Sirius was on the top for a while, and he didn't pay attention to his strikers. In addition, Peter was not moving at the time, so he panicked and contacted himself in a hurry.

Taking out a bottle of healing potion and feeding it to Scabbers, watching the wounds on his body gradually heal, John looked at Sirius again.

"Don't worry, this guy is fine." John said indifferently.

Hearing John's words, Sirius immediately felt relieved. For Sirius, this guy is now more important than Harry.

Only through this guy to wash away the grievances he carried on himself, can he appear beside Harry in a fair manner and give Harry a home.

Thinking of this, Sirius asked again: "John, when are you going to start implementing the plan, I really can't wait to meet Harry!"

Looking at the excited Sirius, John thought for a while and said directly: "It should be around Christmas."

Hearing John's words, Sirius nodded.

Time soon came after the Halloween banquet, just like the previous years, the Halloween banquet was extremely exciting, and of course the most eye-catching thing was always the big pumpkin raised by Hagrid.

The day after the banquet, John came to Professor Lupine's office as scheduled.

On Halloween, John received a secret letter from Professor Lupine, in which Professor Lupine wanted to talk to John about the Werewolf Foundation.

John came to Lupine's office door with ease and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Lupine's voice sounded, and then the door slowly opened by itself.

John opened the door and entered, and the first thing he saw was a large water tank standing in the corner of the office.

A disgusting green monster with pointed horns pressed its face against the glass, making various strange faces while stretching and flexing its long, thin fingers.

And the first time the green monster noticed John's sight, the other party let out a miserable scream, and shrank directly to the corner of the water tank, shivering.

"You scared it, John." Lupine felt helpless seeing this scene, "I just received a Grindylow for the next class."

Because of the practical class after Boggart's class, no matter what kind of black magic creature he found, he would let out a miserable scream when facing John's gaze, and then curled up in a corner trembling as if he saw some horrible existence.

Only when John looked away did the creatures snap back into place, cease the fear-induced response.

So Lupine was going to find some magical animals that were not dark magic creatures to teach, but he didn't expect to have such a reaction.

Sure enough, when John looked away, Grindylow in the water tank gradually stopped trembling.

Looking at Grindylow who had calmed down again, Professor Lupine began to introduce Grindylow as if it was instinct as a teacher.

"Grindylow, a water monster, shouldn't have any difficulty dealing with it. The trick is to break free from its hand. Have you noticed how long its fingers are? Very strong, but brittle and brittle."

Seemingly understanding Lupine's words, Grindylow bared its green teeth, and then seemed to be afraid that John would look at it again.

In the next second, the other party directly buried himself in a pile of tangled aquatic plants in the corner of the tank, completely hiding his figure
"A cup of tea?" said Lupine, looking around for his teapot. "I was just trying to make a pot of tea."

John nodded, pulled out his chair and sat down.

Lupine opened a slightly plain jar, took out tea leaves from it, and waved his wand to deliver the matching teacups to the table.

As the water boiled under the magic effect, Lupine made two cups of tea, and with the fragrance of black tea, Lupine began to discuss with John about the Werewolf Club.

Of course it was mainly Lupine who asked, and John who answered.

After all, Lupine was a kind werewolf. Even after leaving the foundation, he still cared about his colleagues and those werewolf wizards he had helped.

As the president of the foundation, John, with his memory beyond ordinary people, can naturally write down the materials sent every month.

The two chatted for a long time, and it didn't end until the tea in the teapot was refilled three times.

Professor Lu Ping sent John away with a smile, and after John said goodbye to Professor Lu Ping, he returned to the dormitory and began to make final preparations for the crossing.

Three days passed quickly, and the time came to September 9th. After John prepared everything, in the dormitory, John contacted the system intelligence to go through the boundary.

[Confirmation of crossing the boundary]

[Recorded world "Howl's Moving Castle" has been denied]

[Adaptation plane search... search confirmed, anchoring... anchoring successful]

[Identity is being inserted...insert successfully]

[Start crossing the world! 】

The familiar white light flashed, and John disappeared into the room like the previous few times.

In the secluded forest, countless wild animals live in it, the whole body is green and the ancient trees are lush, even the sunlight passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves is also dyed green.

Elegant butterflies dance among the greenery, and gentle streams flow slowly in the riverbed.

And in the emerald color of the forest, accompanied by a flash of white light, John appeared on the grass by the stream.

Suddenly, it seemed that something in the Emerald Forest was disturbed by John's sudden appearance.

John lay quietly on the ground, and as time passed, gradually from the stream, gravel, and gaps in the green leaves, a large number of faceless pale white figures with only three hollows appeared around John.

These villains are only about a dozen centimeters tall, and they look eerily cute.

Curious, the little people approached John in droves. They stretched out their little hands to caress John's bare skin.

The touch was so gentle that John felt something tickle, and he opened his eyes.

And when John opened his eyes, those villains who had been around suddenly disappeared into the air.

At the same time, from a distant direction, several gazes looked in his direction, but soon these gazes disappeared.

John slowly sat up from the grass, looking at the lush forest around him, he felt a kind of tranquility of life.

He touched his neck, just now there was a kind of itching feeling in that position, this feeling was not strong, it was more like the feeling brought by some kind of breeze across the body.

John stood up, looked at the surrounding environment, and noticed that there were trees that were obviously more than a hundred years old, and it seemed that he appeared in a primeval forest this time.

At the same time, he also noticed that this forest seemed to have some kind of special power, and the faint spirituality remaining in the air proved that some similar spirit bodies had appeared here.

For no reason, John thought of the feeling on his neck, presumably it was caused by the touch of the spirit body.

However, this kind of spirit body should not have any malicious intentions, otherwise the amulet on John's body would react immediately, and automatically deploy the shield to bounce the spirit body away.

Take out the compass from the ring, but it seems that because of the abnormal force in the forest, the compass keeps shaking and it is difficult to calm down.

No way, John had no choice but to use the guiding magic of Howl's world. Under the effect of the magic, John confirmed the direction.

John did not choose to build a connection with the world, because he has always had an intuition since he woke up that the world doesn't seem to like his "human" part very much, or just temporarily doesn't want to see it.

He has a feeling that he seems to have to accomplish something before the malice will disappear.

Presumably this should have something to do with the humans in this world, but this is also good news, proving that humans exist in this world.

Even if John was lucky enough to travel to the world that existed in his memory before traveling, he might come to a world that he didn't know in his memory one day.

It is more likely that the human species does not exist in that world.

And this feeling is not some kind of conjecture, John really has a premonition that such a world will indeed be encountered in the future.

But that's for later, and he still needs to figure out the situation in this world.

So, after arranging his clothes briefly, John began to walk in the direction of the magic correction.
