Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"They cut off all contact with the outside world - so after they died, no one would offer sacrifices or commemorate them every year."

"So I thought... maybe I should go."

Even though every time he went there, he was greeted with the angry curses and vicious curses of the two ghosts.

But Hagrid would still go.

"I'm not smart, Ryan... I'm a very stupid person, but at least I know..."

Because he knows.

"False accusations and hatred are certainly not worth commemorating."

"But love is worth it."

So Ryan remained silent.

"Ok."

He looked at the half-blood giant and said, "I have to admit that I was wrong before. There is nothing wrong with Hogwarts' admissions standards."

"what?"

Hagrid looked puzzled.

But Ryan didn't say anything, just patted his knee - he originally wanted to pat his shoulder, but his height didn't allow it.

Chapter 112: A Thousand Miles a Day, Friday and the Basilisk! (3K words, second update)

After listening to a touching story and politely declining Hagrid's request to prepare a new rock cake.

Ryan left Hagrid's hut.

He was, of course, thinking about what Hagrid had said - the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle, Myrtle...

There are many suspicious points, but Ryan has no clue.

After all, it happened too long ago.

"Meow!"

But at this moment, the white cat Friday, who had been drowsy tonight, seemed to suddenly wake up.

Its cat ears were folded, as if it was listening to something.

Then it meowed and waved its paw excitedly at Ryan.

"What!?"

Ryan was a little confused, but the next moment he looked stunned.

He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"..."

Just as mentioned before, Ryan obtained the authority over the Forbidden Forest left by Hufflepuff.

For him, every tree and every weed in the forbidden forest is an extension of his touch.

Admittedly, Ryan is not yet proficient in the control of this authority.

But even so, he could be sure that as long as there was powerful magic that did not belong to the Forbidden Forest, it would happen.

Then he will definitely feel it.

It's like a lake as calm as a mirror.

Ryan could clearly feel any ripples on it.

not to mention...

The ripples caused this time are quite huge!

Ryan sensed the magic that appeared deep in the Forbidden Forest, near the Black Lake area.

It was a deep and powerful magic. It flashed by, but it carried with it a distinct evil and... familiarity!

So Ryan's eyes almost widened.

"Meow!"

At this moment, Friday shouted again.

So Ryan looked at his cat: "Is it it? Do you recognize it?"

What he said should have been understood by only him, but at this moment he saw the white cat nodded.

"Meow!"

The white cat extended its paw and made a gesture—according to Ryan's now increasingly familiar cat accent, that meant...

"You said it was your boss?"

"Meow!"

The white cat was very proud.

“Excellent…”

And there is no doubt that Ryan has many doubts in his mind.

But now...none of that matters.

"Well... let's go - let's go see some old friends!"

Ryan said softly.

Then he raised his wand.

"Apparate!"

With a sudden sound, Ryan and the white cat disappeared from the spot.

That's right—after gaining access to the Forbidden Forest and restoring enough magic power through the Philosopher's Stone.

Of course Ryan can use the Apparition technique at will in the Forbidden Forest.

Then, with the distortion of the air, Ryan and the white cat soon appeared in the depths of the forbidden forest.

The falling heavy snow made the surface of the Black Lake in the distance look a little blurry.

"That's right right here."

After Ryan came here, he once again clearly felt the remnants of the magic power.

but...

"It's not in the Forbidden Forest...where is it?"

Ryan looked at Friday in confusion.

That's right—he could feel the remnants of that magical power here, but at the same time he was certain that the other party was definitely not in the Forbidden Forest.

Then he saw Friday jump off his shoulders.

“Meow…Roar!”

It meowed, as if to say 'watch me'.

But at the end of the cat's meow, its voice had turned into the roar of some giant beast.

In the Forbidden Forest, countless magical creatures were silent at this moment.

And in front of Ryan.

Amidst the falling heavy snow, a life form that had never appeared in any book or record in the wizarding world was standing proudly in the woods.

Its immense magical power caused the trees of the Forbidden Forest to sway, a power that was enough to make any wizard alert and vigilant.

Even Ryan's eyes widened at this moment.

"you..."

He even subconsciously became alert - he guessed that his cat might have some little secrets, but he could never have imagined the current scene!

And... he probably knew why the 'kind-hearted Mr. Mouse' gave up the Philosopher's Stone.

But at this moment...

"Roar!"

The great being looked at Ryan with pupils flashing with red-gold magic.

It bowed its body and lowered its head respectfully.

So Ryan relaxed.

He confirmed that the creature in front of him was still his cat, and now...

"You want me to sit on it?"

"Roar."

Friday nodded imperceptibly and flicked his huge tail.

So Ryan followed suit.

He stepped forward, and the vines growing from the ground carried him up to Friday's back.

Friday was even considerate enough to retract the lightning on his wings.

"Oh...that's nice."

Ryan admired the comfort of the mount - the scales felt unexpectedly not cold, but warm instead.

"what's next?"

Then he looked at Friday: "Where are we going..."

Before he could finish his words, Friday gave him the answer.

"Roar!"

With a low roar from the giant beast, it leaped forward.

Ryan saw that from its body, a unique, strange magic power that was completely different from that of a wizard began to flow around.
