HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 107 Poachers

How did the number of poachers decrease?

Elaine thought it was most likely eliminated by some fifth-grade transfer student!

Hagrid continued speaking to himself.

"I'm certain that those evil poachers weren't dealt with by the Aurors."

"If the Ministry of Magic really had that kind of power, it would have publicized it extensively long ago."

Elaine suddenly realized that Hagrid wasn't entirely brainless.

He said quietly, "Perhaps those poachers were taken care of by some guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"That's impossible!"

"Who could do something like that?!"

"Even a mysterious person might not be able to do that!"

"Besides, if such a person truly existed, how could he not be recorded in the history of magic?"

Hagrid rejected Elaine's conjecture almost immediately without any hesitation.

"Perhaps that person has erased all traces of their existence."

"With the improved spell of 'Complete Oblivion,' you can completely erase all memories of a person, even traces of their existence!"

"Even I know this kind of magic."

Elivin has the memory magic from the card [Mester], so he can do this easily.

In the original story, Hermione also used this spell on her parents to erase their memories of her and all traces of her existence in the Muggle world.

It is evident that even in the HP universe, this memory enhancement spell exists.

"What do you mean, 'Even you know that'?!"

"Eleven, I know you're a genius."

"Harry has told me many times that you can easily learn any spell, and even improve it into a new spell, but not everyone is as talented as you."

Hagrid was speechless at Elaine's naiveté.

"You think the Memory Charm is some simple magic?!"

"Even a student fresh out of Hogwarts might not be able to use the spell 'Forget Everything'."

"Within the Ministry of Magic, only those within the 'Memory Erasure Command' are capable of erasing all traces."

"It would be impossible to do this unless that person could cast a spell to erase their own existence from the entire magical world."

"But how is that possible?"

It's not entirely impossible.

Transfer students have a tough time!

Hai Ge pondered for a few seconds, then said, "If, and I mean if, anyone knows that history, it's only Dumbledore."

"He lived in that era, was the headmaster of Hogwarts, and was the greatest person in the wizarding world. He might know something."

Elaine strongly agrees with this.

By the time the topic of "how poachers disappeared" was settled, the two had already reached the depths of the forbidden forest.

The depths of the forbidden forest were dark and gloomy, exuding an eerie and sinister atmosphere.

Tonight is a new moon, and it's almost invisible in the night sky.

The lanterns they carried could only illuminate an area of ​​about five meters around them.

To better conduct his night patrols, Elivin simply took out his wand, cast a glowing spell, and controlled the orb of light to float in the air and follow his movements.

"Hagrid, you just said some magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest were injured. Who exactly were they?"

"Some small animals that live deep in the forbidden forest."

Hagrid's voice didn't sound pleasant, which showed that the animals' crisis was indeed affecting him.

He counted on his fingers: "Unicorns, centaurs, harpies, and the young of the eight-eyed giant spider—"

"You call that a small animal?!"

"Okay, they are indeed very small for you—"

Elaine was slightly surprised.

It's normal for Voldemort to attack unicorns, but why did he also target other races?

Was it an accidental discovery during the operation that forced them to silence the witnesses, or was it simply a diversionary tactic to cover up their true objective with fabricated poacher traces?

Um--

Considering his abilities, the latter is probably more likely!

Just then, Hagrid seemed to see something, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickened his pace.

Elaine hurriedly chased after him.

Hagrid stopped under a large tree and reached out to touch the roots.

By the moonlight, Elaine saw a small puddle of shimmering silver liquid.

Hagrid's face looked grim.

"This is unicorn blood!"

"Those damn guys are attacking the unicorn, we need to hurry and catch up!"

Hagrid finished speaking and rushed out, with Elaine quickening his pace to follow.

Along the way, the bloodstains became denser and heavier.

It contains not only unicorn blood, but also the blood of other animals.

There were also various messy footprints on the ground, some of them from animals and others from humans.

Elaine immediately made two judgments in his mind:

It's not Voldemort!

They are very likely a group of poachers!

"Someone is poaching the magical animals in the forbidden forest!"

"hateful!!"

Hagrid was so angry that his hair stood on end, his beard trembled, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

Elaine followed closely behind Hagrid, using his towering figure to conceal himself, while simultaneously putting away his wand and dispelling the glowing spell.

That ball of white light overhead would undoubtedly alert the enemy, so it's best to let it dissipate as soon as possible.

The two followed the trail of blood through the woods for about five minutes before finally arriving at a clearing.

From a distance, Elaine could see more than a dozen figures in the open space, each wearing a black hood and completely covered up.

The men in black worked in pairs, each carrying a large, wriggling sack.

They lined up and walked to the middle of the open space, where, under the direction of someone who seemed to be a leader, they threw the sacks in their hands into an open suitcase.

Seven or eight large sacks were thrown in, but the suitcase was like a bottomless pit, impossible to fill.

Clearly, this is a box that has been enchanted with a Seamless Stretch Charm!

Those sacks contain the magical creatures that were kidnapped!

Poachers!!

In this day and age, there are still poachers?!

It seems someone didn't handle things thoroughly enough back then.

Well, there's no other way, I'll have to come myself.

"Damn poachers!"

"Leave the animals here!!"

Hagrid roared and swung his heavy arm, throwing the lantern he was holding directly out.

With the strength of the half-giant, the oil lamp he threw was like a small cannonball.

boom-

The oil lamp fell to the ground, causing a small explosion.

The sudden turn of events startled the poachers.

"Someone's coming!"

"It's that half-giant who guards the Forbidden Forest!"

"He's incredibly strong; we're no match for him!"

"Retreat immediately!"

"But there are still many prey left to put in!"

"What time is it? Of course, saving your life is the most important thing!"

Although he is of mixed race, he still has the genes of a giant, which not only makes him incredibly strong, but also gives him a considerable degree of magic resistance, making him a match for ordinary wizards.

Even if the poachers have a numerical advantage, they may not be a match for the poachers.

Moreover, if the commotion gets too loud and attracts other magical creatures from the Forbidden Forest, the situation will only get worse.

Without thinking twice, the poachers closed the box and ran away.
