Chapter 244 I am Groot!
In the dense forbidden forest, four figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Except for William, the other three were dizzy and staggered slightly.
"Are you all right?" William asked. "It's a feeling that takes getting used to."
"I'm fine." Cedric rubbed his ears, he felt as if his ears had left the car reluctantly.
"I still prefer Floo Powder and Portkeys to Apparition."
"It's always uncomfortable for the first time." Fred patted Cedric on the shoulder. "Brother, you'll get used to it."
"Where are we now?" George looked around. "Forbidden Forest?"
William nodded. "Yes, we're going this way."
The three of them ran quickly through the Forbidden Forest towards Hagrid's cabin.
When approaching the edge of the Forbidden Forest, an angry dog barked in the distance.
Hagrid shouted: "Stand back, Fang Fang, go back quickly! I'm going to pick up the students at the station, don't follow me.
You are too ugly, far worse than Lu Wei, and you will scare the students. "
Yaya let out a howl, as if he was very dissatisfied with this evaluation.
"Stop screaming." Hagrid warned: "Look at our house, some time ago, I don't know who crushed Lu Wei's little house, and I haven't found that guy yet!
The other party may attack our house at any time, watch out! "
William coughed in embarrassment, and seemed to be going back to tell Hermione not to let her slip up in front of Hagrid.
The four of them hid behind the tree, and when Hagrid was far away, they went around the cabin and walked in the direction of the Whomping Willow.
The Whomping Willow is not far from the greenhouse, and it is also some distance from Hagrid's hut, which is also one of the restricted areas of Hogwarts.
"Cedric, are you sure you want to go to that dangerous place?" Fred urged on the road.
"That tree is really dangerous!"
"That's right, last time we wanted to enter the secret passage under the tree, we were almost hung up by that tree," George said.
That's the case with Whomping Willows, they are so furious that they get beat up by the willow branches for anything that hits them.
"Is there any solution?" William asked. "Haven't you been trying to tell Professor Sprout?"
"Don't be so harsh! What is a trick." Cedric laughed.
"I was simply discussing herbalism with Professor Sprout, and I was interested in the weakness of the Whomping Willow by the way."
"So you asked? How to deal with the Whomping Willow?"
"Of course, I'm our dean's favorite student." Cedric said proudly.
"Just press the knot on the trunk of the Whomping Willow and it will freeze instantly."
"It's that simple?" George wondered.
"Yes, otherwise I would be so bold as to bring you to break the branches of the Willow."
"Well, but I have a doubt." William asked. "Break its branches, and will the Whomping Willow rise from rest?"
"Uh... well... I don't know." Cedric scratched his hair, he forgot to ask.
William sighed, it's really hard to make a wand.
No wonder Ollivander only uses unicorn tail hair, phoenix tail feathers for most of his wands... because of safety.
Like the basilisk horn, if you accidentally look at each other, you will die directly.
The Whomping Willow is also dangerous.
Of course Whomping Willow is a great wand material.
According to Cedric, willow wands have rare healing powers.
In addition to its beauty, willow wands are also well suited for advanced silent spells.
But willow wands usually choose those wizards with great potential, not those who are self-righteous.
One of the Ollivander family mottos is "Willow is best suited to those with big ambitions".
As a fighter among willows, Whomping Willow is even more precious.
It and the horn of the basilisk are an excellent combination.
Soon, the four of them came to the Whomping Willow. The willow tree didn't move at all, and it didn't look like a threat at all.
Fred dropped a rock.
The Whomping Willow seemed to be stimulated, the branches shook violently, and the trunk twitched like a vicious dog, preventing them from going any further.
"Who will press the knots?" William asked a crucial question.
The three looked at William as they should.
"It must be you, can't you use Animagus?" Cedric said.
Fred and George nodded.
"But my sea eagle is very big." William shrugged. Although he was fast, he would still be hit by dense branches.
"What about the sniff? Let it come!" suggested William.
Fred nodded and took out his big treasure again.
George pointed to the knots on the tree and let Niffler rush over.
But it pinched its waist and arrogantly refused.
"Next time!" Cedric urged.
Xixiu glanced at the four of them contemptuously, and lay directly on the ground, her paws kept shaking happily.
Whoring all day for nothing, not even giving Galleons, and still want to work for free?
It is impossible to work part-time, it is impossible in this life!
William had no choice but to throw a gallon over in disgust.
Xixiu quickly put it in his pocket and rushed forward.It walks dodgingly between the branches, with vigorous movements and quick steps.
Then it ran up to the Whomping Willow and rested its front paws on a knot in the trunk.
All of a sudden, the tree seemed to have turned into marble and stopped moving, and all the leaves were still.
Within seconds, the four of William walked to the tree trunk.
Fred lowered his head and looked into a hole. There was a very low tunnel below.
"Where is the exit of this tunnel?" Cedric asked curiously.
"I don't know... This passage is marked on the Marauder's map. This road disappears at the edge of the map. The end should be Hogsmeade Village, but it's unclear where the exact exit is." George said.
William was not interested in the secret passage, but stared at the Whomping Willow.
More precisely, it is the creature that lives on the Whomping Willow.
— Bowtruckle!
Bowtruckles are amazing creatures the size of a palm.
They have long, sharp fingers on both hands, brown eyes, and appear to be made of bark and twigs, making them easy to camouflage.
Bowtruckles become guardians of the tree they inhabit, and the wood of these trees is often suitable for making wands.
So finding Bowtruckles on Whomping Willows is a perfectly normal thing.
Bowtruckles are usually gentle by nature, but can become very aggressive if something threatens the safety of the tree and itself.
To remove leaves or wood from a tree guarded by a Bowtruckle, a wizard needs to give them woodjack or fairy eggs.
William didn't bring these two things, but he had the potion made from fairy eggs.
He opened the bottle cap, looked at some of the Bowtruckles that were shorter than the wand, and said with a smile, "Come, follow me."
"I am Groot!"
These Bowtruckles really look like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
William decided to abduct some of them.
