The blue python raised its head to the sky and opened its mouth wide as if it wanted to swallow the whole sky.
Such a spectacular sight immediately attracted the attention of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students whose common rooms were in towers.
"Cool! Is that some magical creature?"
"The direction is the Forbidden Forest?"
"Merlin, how many unknown secrets does our school still have?"
The Weasley twins looked at the scenery outside the window, and their minds started to wander.
"Hey Fred, you should know what I'm thinking."
"Of course George, explore the Forbidden Forest, and we'll find creatures that cast magic."
"Oh! Exciting and thrilling trip to the Forbidden Forest!"
The twins had their arms outstretched, with an intoxicated look on their faces.
In the common room, the gryffindors who hadn't gone to sleep yet were amused by the appearance of the two of them.
Neville Longbottom said at this time: "Harry and Ron are still in the Forbidden Forest, will they be in danger?"
"Don't worry, the school will definitely be responsible for such a big incident."
"Perhaps now Headmaster Dumbledore is leading the professors to solve problems in the Forbidden Forest."
The words of the twins reassured everyone a lot.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that the twins' eyes are full of worry.
Ron Weasley, even if they bully him all the time he's still their brother.
At the same time, Cho Chang in the Ravenclaw Tower is also worried about her friend.
Looking at the fire snake raging in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, her thoughts went to a certain blond boy.
She didn't know when her feelings for that boy changed.
Maybe when she saw him flying past on a broom to grab the golden Snitch that was close to herself?
She couldn't tell either, but she knows that right now she's afraid that something might happen to him.
"Merlin, why did it become like this!"
"Cho, what's wrong with you?"
Her friend Marietta asked worriedly when she saw her rolling on the bed with her hands covering her face.
"Nothing, I'm fine!"
"Since you have nothing to do, come here quickly, we are discussing whether this vision is related to the school motto 'Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon'."
Cho looked at the giant python above the Forbidden Forest again and said, "But isn't that a snake?"
…
(Entrance to the Forbidden Forest.)
Hermione and the others saw the snake head waving in the sky from a distance.
The few of them are closer than the students of the castle so they can see it clearer.
A wave of heat came from afar and Hermione could even smell the burning scent in the air.
"Merlin, what happened? What is this blue flame?"
She looked at Hagrid behind her, hoping that this adult wizard can give her an answer that satisfies her.
"Sorry, Miss Hermione, I've never seen a flame like this either!"
"Damn it, Lucas, you must be fine!"
Fearing for Lucas' safety.
Miss Hermione, who has always advertised herself as a lady, made an exception and uttered the first swear word in her life.
And in the Forbidden Forest, the professors who were looking for Lucas and Draco also stopped to look.
Although Snape was shocked by the picture in front of him, he was more worried about Draco's safety.
Few outsiders know about it, but he has an excellent relationship with the Malfoys.
When Snape first entered Hogwarts as a student, Lucius Malfoy happened to be the senior in the sixth grade.
As a half-blood wizard, Snape was often bullied by Slytherin students in that era and every time it was Lucius who helped him out.
He is a man who knows how to be grateful, it's just that he hides his emotions very deeply most of the time.
"Everyone, now is not the time to watch the fireworks. Those two reckless idiots haven't been found yet. Please don't stop walking and keep moving."
As soon as Snape opened his mouth, it was the familiar insulting style of speaking.
Professors Flitwick and Sprout came to their senses and followed Snape to continue searching.
Only Professor McGonagall remained where she was standing.
"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter with you?"
"Stop looking for them, I know where they are!"
"What?"
Because Professor McGonagall's voice was too low, no one heard what she said.
"I said, don't look any further, I already know where they are!"
There was a ripple in Snape's empty eyes.
"where?"
Professor McGonagall took one look at him, then raised his wand and pointed to where the blue fire python was raging.
"over there!"
"Oh Merlin, aren't those two children a bit too unlucky?"
The eyes of Flitwick and Professor Sprout were full of concern.
Only Snape was watching McGonagall because he knew that she must have something else to say.
"Fire shield!"
"What?" Snape asked in bewilderment.
"The name of this magic is Fire Shield. The Blue flame you see is something similar to Fiendfyre in terms of power!"
Hearing the word Fiendfyre, a trace of fear flashed across the faces of several professors.
No one knows Fiendfyre's horrors better than these professors.
A fire from hell that will never go out as long as there are items that can burn.
Moreover, Fiendfyre is so powerful that if a person touches it, they will be burned to ashes almost instantly.
Therefore, Fiendfyre has always been one of the extremely dangerous dark arts.
"How could something like that appear in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Merlin, the children in the castle may be in danger, we must stop it!"
Compared to the anxiety of the other two professors, Snape was much calmer.
He looked at the terrified McGonagall and asked, "Professor, do you know the origin of this magic?"
At this moment, Professor McGonagall seemed to recall the elegant and flamboyant man decades ago.
Hearing Snape's question she sighed: "The fire shield was created by Gellert Grindelwald."
Her words stunned the others.
Gellert Grindelwald, leader of the Alliance, Dark Lord extraordinaire.
An incredibly powerful dark wizard from decades ago.
Even a junior like Snape, who was born late, had heard of the other party's Legendary feats.
Professor Flitwick looked at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance and stretched out his hand to feel the hot temperature in the air.
"So, at this moment, the one casting the fire shield in the distance is that kid Lucas Grindelwald?"
Professor McGonagall nodded: "Leave everything to Headmaster Dumbledore."
"We guard the surrounding area. If the fire goes out of control we must work together to stop it. This is the only way to stop such powerful flames."
Snape and the others nodded solemnly.
Then, under the leadership of McGonagall, they all moved quickly.
…
The cave of the acromantula.
At this moment, Blue's flames were everywhere in the cave.
Lucas and Draco stood in the central area of absolute safety and looked at the little spiders that were constantly turning into ashes.
[Congratulations to the host for destroying the acromantula*1, reward: 1 achievement point.]
[Congratulations to the host for destroying the acromantula*1, reward: 1 achievement point.]
[Congratulations to the host for destroying the acromantula*1, and get a reward: achievement points.]
[…]
The system's notification tone kept ringing in his ears which made Lucas turn off the system notifications for a while.
Watching the attempt of Aragog to escape, a small flame ignited in Lucas' deep blue eyes.
The python that was roaring towards the sky fell down, and the position happened to be the direction in which Aragog was escaping.
"Draco, come to me!"
Draco swallowed his saliva and hurried to Lucas.
"That's cool! What's this trick called? Can you teach me?"
"Fire shield, it's no problem to teach you, but first of all, your magic power must reach the level of the fifth grade, otherwise it's easy to lose control."
When Lucas practiced the fire shield, he was accompanied by powerful wizards such as Vinda and Abernathy.
He would never practice it without someone watching him.
Lucas made such a request to Draco...
The main reason is that he is worried that this brat will use it indiscriminately after learning it, and if it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.
"It's a deal, when my magic power reaches the standard, you must teach me!"
After speaking, Draco looked around and saw countless spiders coming from all directions.
"How many spiders like this are there in the Forbidden Forest? Why do I feel like we can't kill them all?"
"I don't know, but there must be tens of thousands!"
The number of eggs laid by spiders is not fixed, and some spiders can even lay more than a thousand eggs at a time.
The acromantula is even more of a magical creature.
'I'm afraid only Merlin knows how many children this guy has given birth to.'
Watching more and more spiders coming up Lucas raised his wand again.
He waved his wand in a circle above his head and the giant fire python immediately coiled into a ball.
At this time, Lucas thought of the picture of Dumbledore using a firestorm to clear the way in the cave full of inferi and thought about giving it a try.
So he waved his wand, pointed to the exit of the cave and controlled the flames.
A passage suddenly appeared in front of Lucas and Draco lined with towering walls of flames.
Any spider that tried to attack the two would be reduced to ashes by the blue flames.
Before leaving Lucas also glanced back into the depths of the cave and saw a big hole there.
Obviously, Aragog had just escaped from the hole.
"What a crafty fellow!"
After saying that, Lucas took Draco and walked away.
At the same time the acromantulas that were attacking around also fled into the distance.
The massacre is over.
Not that Lucas didn't want to continue, but while the fire wouldn't burn them directly it still raised the surrounding temperature after all the things it burnt.
If this continues, Draco will end up becoming a roasted ferret.
Leaving the fire's range, Lucas swung his wand to extinguish the flames.
The acromantula's lair has become flat, wherever the fire raged, not a single weed was left.
[Congratulations to the host for killing 13,682 acromantulas*, earning a total of 13,682 achievement points; winning the title of "Golden Spider Killer."]
[Golden Spider Killer: Wearing this title increases damage by 30%, defense by 50%, and poison resistance by 20% when facing all types of spiders.]
Just one big fire gave Lucas more than 10,000 achievement points, it's just a pity that Aragog managed to escape.
But that's fine too. Looking at the prefix of this title, there should be platinum and diamond grades after that.
Keep Aragog, let it continue to have babies!
"Huh! I'm alive!"
Draco took off his wizard robe, and sat on the ground without a trace of his usual grace.
"Thank you for saving me, Lucas!"
"Ah!" Lucas chuckled, and sat down beside him.
Just when the two relaxed their vigilance and enjoyed the coolness brought by the breeze.
A green light suddenly hit Draco's body.
Seeing Draco's skin gradually pale, Lucas immediately looked to the dark corner behind him.
A figure wearing a black robe walked out slowly, it was Professor Quirrell being possessed by Voldemort.
The light in Lucas' eyes disappeared.
He turned his head to look at Draco beside him.
The other party was about to sit down and rest at this time.
"Huh! I'm alive!"
"Thank you for saving me, Lucas!"
"stand up!"
Lucas pulled Draco up from the ground.
At the same time, with a wave of the wand, the scarf around his neck turned into a copper shield.
The unique Green light of the Killing Curse flew from a distance and the impact made a crisp ding on the shield.
~clap clap clap!~
There was a burst of applause behind him.
Lucas took advantage of Draco's inattention and hit him with a stupefy.
After doing that he turned to look at the man in black behind him.
"I thought it would be a long time before you came out, Professor Quirrell!".
