Hogwarts from another world

Professor Kettleburn does not seem to intend to express any more opinions on the issue of "Hagrid, the hybrid giant".

Matthew couldn't ask any more questions.

The two of them and the cat continued along the path in the Forbidden Forest.

They walked for nearly half an hour, getting deeper and deeper into the forest. The trees in front began to become extremely dense, and the path was almost impassable...

Suddenly, the hair on Tom's body suddenly stood on end, and his whole body became tense——

"It seems that we are getting close!" Professor Kettleburn whispered.

He took out his wand again, this time of course with his left hand instead of the prosthetic.

"Meow——" Facing the depths of the woods ahead, the cat nives meowed.

The cry was full of hostility, like a demonstration or a warning.

Over there, through the tangled branches of an ancient oak tree, one could see a clearing ahead.

"Is the lair of those guys right here?" Professor Kettleburn said to himself.

He waved the wand in his hand, and the lush branches spread out to form a path.

"Wait!" Professor Kettleburn was suddenly startled. He raised his arm to stop Matthew who was about to pass by, and murmured at the same time: "What is that?"

A pure white thing sparkled on the ground.

Professor Kettleburn's expression suddenly turned serious, and he moved closer to the thing.

"Oh, Merlin's beard!" he exclaimed.

……

Matthew noticed that Professor Kettleburn's body was shaking slightly.

Even when he faced more than twenty centaurs before, the hunting ground warden of Hogwarts had never been so panicked.

He quickly took a few steps closer and saw clearly the white thing on the ground——

There is no doubt that this is the body of a magical animal.

Matthew had never imagined that there would be such a beautiful and tragic death.

It looks like a horse, but its hair is softer, whiter, and shiny than that of an ordinary horse.

Its slender legs maintained the same posture as when it fell, extending unnaturally; its mane lay flat on the ground covered with fallen leaves, as white as the most precious pearls.

But it was dead, absolutely dead.

Only dots of silver-blue blood could be seen around him.

Matthew finally understood that the marks he had seen on the fallen leaves were not an illusion.

"It's unbelievable..." Professor Kettleburn half-knelt on the ground and took a deep breath: "This is a unicorn, this is a murder!"

"Unicorn!" Although he had vaguely guessed something, Matthew was also very shocked.

From the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he had a very clear description of "unicorns":

"Although unicorns appear docile, their personalities are very different from their appearance. Adult unicorns can fight elephants and even fire dragons, and they run very fast. It is very difficult for ordinary wizards to capture them. And in many Among all kinds of magical animals, unicorns are also one of the magical animals at the top of the food chain..."

But now, a unicorn corpse appeared quietly in front of him.

"The blood has been sucked dry..." Professor Kettleburn looked at the wound on the unicorn's neck and said with a stern expression: "It was the murderer... and the murderer didn't leave for too long..."

"Could it be...a vampire?" Matthew asked softly.

When he asked this question, he felt a little stupid.

"Impossible, it is impossible for a vampire monster to successfully attack a unicorn. Their strength is not on the same level." Professor Kettleburn shook his head without hesitation.

"So..." Matthew hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Where are the vampires?"

But this time, Professor Kettleburn didn't answer. He just looked at the unicorn's body quietly, his face a little solemn.

"Professor Kettleburn?" Matthew called softly again.

The Care of Magical Creatures professor woke up from a dream.

"It seems that what the centaurs said is true. There is something in this forest that I can't deal with. I have to inform Professor Rozier!" He murmured: "I didn't expect this. I encountered such an accident during my first practice after class!"

Matthew looked at the woods behind him with some caution.

At this moment, he felt at any moment that a blood-sucking monster would suddenly emerge from the woods behind him and attack them suddenly!

Matthew had to hold the teapot in his hand tighter again.

"Mr. Wakefield, our after-school practice is over!" Professor Kettleburn said while using his prosthetic leg to carry the unicorn's body on his back.

"Then shall we go back to the castle now?" Matthew looked at the dark path with some worry.

Although he didn't know anything when he came, he didn't feel anything. Now when he was going back, looking at the gloomy jungle, he felt that he might encounter danger at any time.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!" Professor Kettleburn smiled.

He raised his wand high, and a red spark shot straight into the sky.

……

Matthew didn't know what Professor Kettleburn was calling for, but he thought he would have to wait a long time.

But they didn't expect that just a few minutes later, a strange animal crawled down from the branches and leaves above their heads.

A rather strange animal, it had the body, hind legs and tail of a horse, but its front legs, wings and head were like those of an eagle.

The ruthless beak is extremely sharp, and the talons on the front legs look at least half a foot long, which is intimidating!

The big bright orange eyes looked at Matthew, and then turned their gaze to Professor Kettleburn.

"Very well, baby, take us out of here!" Professor Kettleburn patted the animal on the shoulder, and then greeted Matthew: "Come here, Wakefield, this is a hippogriff. , get on its back!"

Matthew hesitated for a moment and walked over.

As he approached the Hippogriff, the monster was visibly displeased.

But then, Professor Kettleburn patted it on the head hard, and it quickly became well-behaved again.

Matthew and Professor Kettleburn climbed onto the back of the Hippogriff one after another. Professor Kettleburn also took the body of the unicorn and said goodbye to Tom the Cat.

With a violent up and down motion, they flew high into the sky.

Matthew hugged the Hippogriff's neck tightly, closed his eyes, and crawled through the lush branches and leaves.

Then, a vast sky was waiting for him!

They soared in the blue sky, breathing the fresh air, and had almost a panoramic view of the entire Forbidden Forest...

Then, fly towards Hogwarts Castle!
