Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

The Grim Reaper in the past was, after all, a wizard.

But Isabel isn't even human.

The witch kept tapping her thigh with her fingers, again and again.

If Tom really runs away, could I... keep him occupied for a little while?

It's just a pity for Isabel; that guy will be staying in the Death Realm for a very long time.

Although he will become one of the strongest wizards in the wizarding world, Isabel will also lose a lot.

For example, freedom.

……

Tom went back to Hogwarts. He was in a good mood today, so he decided to skip his classes.

If he goes to class at this time, wouldn't that be a complete waste of his good mood for the whole day?

Going to class is very boring. At least Tom has gotten used to not having class now, so even if he goes back to Hogwarts, he will avoid going to class if he can.

Tom would only go to Hogwarts for a stroll if he felt like it sometimes.

However, what puzzled Tom was why neither Terry nor Li Su were in the dormitory today.

He remembered that they shouldn't have had classes today, and logically, the two of them should have been shouting loudly in the dormitory, which was why Tom didn't come back last night.

A moment later, someone knocked on Tom's dormitory door.

When the door opened, Tom recognized the face; it was another classmate from Ravenclaw. Although Tom rarely saw him, he still vaguely remembered the face.

"Terry... Tom?" the classmate asked in confusion. "Why are you the only one here? Haven't Terry and Li Su returned yet?"

Tom looked at the other person with a puzzled expression and asked, "Back? Where did those two go?"

The other person nodded: "I heard that Terry and Li Su went to the Forbidden Forest. When they went out last night, they asked me if I wanted to go with them."

But I had something to do yesterday, so I couldn't agree to their request. Tom, is there any danger in the Forbidden Forest? Will those two not make it back?

Hearing the other person speak, Tom sighed heavily.

What are those two idiots doing in the Forbidden Forest?

Is there anything in the Forbidden Forest that they should explore?

Tom can only guarantee that the wizarding world is safe enough for now, but places like the Forbidden Forest are no longer under Hogwarts' jurisdiction.

In the Forbidden Forest, the biggest threat is not those annoying dark wizards, since they no longer target them.

What's truly worrying are the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest is home to many kinds of magical creatures, and not every magical creature is friendly to wizards.

For example, unicorns and eight-legged giant spiders.

Unicorns will not attack wizards unless provoked; in fact, they can get along well with wizards.

But creatures like the eight-horned giant spider don't care if you're a wizard or not; they only crave blood and flesh.

If those two little guys, Terry and Lisu, were to encounter the Giant Eight-Headed Spider, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Two troublesome guys.

Tom clicked his tongue: "When exactly did Terry and Lee Sue go to the Forbidden Forest?"

"After class yesterday, they went to the Forbidden Forest, and I haven't received any news from them since."

I was planning to tell Professor Dumbledore about this if I didn't see them today, but now that you're back, Tom, they should be alright, right?

Tom: "...I'll go find them right now."

Tom packed his clothes and left the dormitory.

Tom had been inside the Forbidden Forest once before, but he hadn't approached its gates since.

Tom didn't particularly hate the Forbidden Forest; he simply disliked the atmosphere inside.

Tom always felt very depressed in the Forbidden Forest. He didn't understand why those two people insisted on going there to play.

Tom put the hair he collected from their bed into the tracking potion.

As the potion slowly changed color, turning dark green, Tom drank it.

Immediately, footprints appeared on the ground.

The tracking potion allows Tom to see all the footprints of Terry and Lisu, a complex web that gives Tom a headache.

But Tom paid no attention to any of that and headed straight for the Forbidden Forest.

Sure enough, the footprints faded considerably, leaving only a single long green line.

The thin green line led Tom deeper and deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

As the surrounding silence grew, Tom put his finger to his lips.

He whistled loudly.

Shortly after the whistle blew, Tom saw a figure appear in the distant sky.

A massive figure descended from the sky, finally landing beside Tom.

The figure that appeared was naturally Galo.

"I thought you had forgotten me, Tom. Do you remember what you said before? You said you would come to see me once a month!" Gara said somewhat indignantly.

In the real world, only Garo dares to speak to Tom like that; Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic can only bow and scrape before Tom.

"I've been really busy lately," Tom shrugged helplessly. "But I have some good news for you."

Galo's eyes lit up immediately: "Tell me quickly."

"Before that, you have to do me a favor. Two idiots in my dorm have disappeared in the Forbidden Forest."

I'm worried they might get killed by the magical creatures inside. You have to find a way to help me.

Galo frowned. He looked around and realized that the Forbidden Forest was no less large than Hogwarts.

Finding two people in such a large place is, frankly, harder than climbing to heaven.

"Do you want me to find them, or do you want me to guarantee their safety?" Galo suddenly asked.

Chapter 170 Return to the Forbidden Forest

"What's the difference between these two options?" Tom asked Gallo, puzzled.

In his view, if they could find Terry and Li Su, wouldn't that guarantee their safety?

But if you can't find them, how can you ensure their safety?

"Are there any other dark wizards in the Forbidden Forest, such as Voldemort?"

Tom shook his head: "I don't know, but it's highly unlikely."

Very few dark wizards can rival Voldemort. Apart from Voldemort, Tom really doesn't know of any other dark wizard who could achieve what he did.

"Most of the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest are magical animals. I encountered a giant eight-legged spider in the Forbidden Forest before."

But I'm not entirely sure what else is in the Forbidden Forest. In any case, there's bound to be danger; otherwise, Hogwarts wouldn't have designated it as a forbidden area.

Garo nodded, indicating he understood Tom's words: "The biggest threat is magical creatures, right? Well, I have a plan."

As he spoke, Galo flew into the sky, and he couldn't help but lick his lips as he looked at the small animals wriggling below.

Unfortunately, this is a forbidden forest. If it were their Momo Mountains, he would definitely catch these things and eat them.

The Forbidden Forest is different from their Momo Mountains. In the Momo Mountains, Gara can ensure that all animals are clean.

However, the Forbidden Forest is right next to Hogwarts, and there are many wizards in Hogwarts. Garo was worried that these magical creatures might have consumed potions given to them by those wizards.

Although the potions fed to Gara by those wizards could not harm him in any way, they would make the magical creatures taste terrible and even make Gara feel disgusted.

Opening its massive maw, Gara roared downwards: "Roar!"

In an instant, leaves fell from the sky, and the magical creatures that had been climbing on the ground sped up and fled.

Seeing this scene, Galo nodded in satisfaction.

Just as I expected, all the other magical creatures were indeed afraid of him.

After all, he was a dragon, and comparing these ordinary magical creatures to a dragon was giving them too much face.

Normally, no animal dares to approach the summit of the Momo Mountains.

They all knew that there was a fire dragon on the mountaintop, and if they displeased that fire dragon, they would be the ones who got hurt.

After doing all this, Galo returned to the ground and proudly puffed out his chest at Tom beside him: "How about that, is that okay?"

Tom: "...Galo, have you ever thought about this?"

Tom asked Garo, "Why do you think those magical creatures ran away?"

Gara: "Of course it's because they're afraid of me. As a fire dragon, I'm quite aware of my own power to intimidate others."

Galo looked at Tom as if he were a fool.

Tom is so smart, doesn't he know how scary he is in the eyes of magical creatures? How could he ask such a stupid question?

But when Garo saw Tom cough, he said, "Then let me ask you... how do you think ordinary wizards, I mean, wizards who don't know you, would see you?"

You don't really think Terry and Li Su could recognize you as the dragon that just roared just from your voice, do you?

Galo's smile froze instantly. She looked at Tom and asked, "What...do you mean by this?"

Those two little guys have seen me so many times, how could they not remember my voice?

I remember you've only met me twice, but you've already memorized my scent, haven't you?

"You're comparing them to me?" Tom pointed to his nose. "No, if they were even half as strong as me, I wouldn't need to come to the Forbidden Forest to find them!"

Never mind, never mind.

Tom waved his hand and sighed: "Anyway, most of the magical creatures have run away. Even if Terry and Lisu are running away at this time, they shouldn't be in danger for a while."

I don't think those magical creatures had the energy to eat both of them while they were running away.

“Yes, that’s definitely not the case.” Garo nodded. “I can guarantee that every magical creature will ensure its own safety when it’s eating, but I just yelled, so all they could think about was running away.”
