Hi, I know this chapter is long overdue. Some real-life problems have caught up with me. I was going to take a very important exam and I needed extra studying. What's worse, the exam didn't go so well. From now on, the frequency of sharing chapters will be more regular, either one long chapter a week or more than one short chapter, but even short chapters will be more than 1000 words.
I would be happy if you support me on my pa(tre)on account.

Rubeus Hagrid's point of view
I couldn't help shuddering as I looked at the forbidden forest, the most dangerous and richest land in magical Britain. Veronica was standing next to me with an expression similar to mine.
The forbidden forest could be divided into three parts. The first part was the forest in the real world, which was easily accessible from Hogwarts. More intelligent and docile creatures such as centaurs and Testrals lived here. The second part was the part inside the pocket dimension, which was a forest similar to the one outside, except that it was more dangerous and older. Even the oldest trees in the forest outside were only a few centuries old at most, while in the forest inside the pocket dimension, trees more than a thousand years old could easily be found. The main problem was that there was no obvious difference between these two areas. So there was no such thing as a gate. When walking in the forest, you could find yourself in the pocket dimension after one step. The third part was by far the most dangerous part of the forbidden forest. This area was also wider and more dangerous than the other two areas. This area could not even be called a forest anymore. There were various habitats. Volcanic regions where lava still flows over the surface of the earth, large glacial regions, vast rainforests, deserts, etc. Not only that, but the habitats were constantly changing. One day there might be a glacier zone next to a lava field, the next day a rainforest. The legendary island of Avalon is said to be at the centre of the forbidden forest, but no one has ever been able to reach it. It is as if the pocket dimension deliberately prevents people from reaching the most central area. Anyway, legends are not our business. The unique nature of the interior of the forbidden forest has led to the breeding and development of dangerous creatures normally found nowhere else. All these reasons together meant that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts could never completely control the pocket dimension and the forbidden forest. They could only gather the necessary resources and treasures through magical creatures intelligent enough to make deals, and even then they could not intervene in the inner region. This made the forbidden forest a haven for various outlaws and black magicians who were wanted in magical Britain. Of course, the Ministry of Magic does not allow these men to do as they please. Periodically, Auror teams are sent to the second area and a clean-up operation is carried out. Those who are caught go to Azkaban while those who can escape go to the inner regions and try to survive there. When the Ministry of Magic withdraws, the survivors come back to the second zone. Luckily for us, since the war with Grindelwald started, the Ministry of Magic has been sending Auror teams to the forest regularly to clean it up. So the most dangerous part of the second zone, the dark wizards, are no longer a threat to a great extent.
Now it was time for us to cause trouble. Radagian's legacy was located on the border of the second zone and the inner zone. It was, as Radagian put it, too deep for the authorities to notice, but far enough away that it would not be displaced by random habitats into the hinterland. When I asked him if the dark wizards in the second zone would find the legacy, he told me not to worry about it. Radagian told me that he had taken very strong security measures when preparing the legacy. Not as strong as the pyramids, but strong enough for a random dark wizard to break through. The only reason why I was able to get the legacy is that the defence measures, just like in the diary, were made in a way to sense the voxnaturae and allow me to pass through, the only problem is the tests Radagian prepared for me. He didn't leave any information about these tests in the original Radagian portrait. Apparently he wanted the tests to be fair. Radagian's portrait said that despite the security measures and the tests, if someone managed to take my inheritance by force, I could only cry because of my misfortune and the fact that I was born too late. Apparently he still resented being trapped in a room for centuries.
Another problem was that we couldn't apparated inside the pocket dimension or use a key. As I said before, the pocket dimension almost refused to let us explore it. At first we thought of using a broom to fly, but a little research showed us that this was a terrible idea. The instability, which normally only affects the inner region, affects the entire region when it comes to weather. In short, we had no choice but to use pedestrian transport within the pocket dimension and it would take almost a week to reach the heritage. The return journey would take at least two weeks.
I had a meeting with Dumbledore in August. So July was the only time we could make this trip. Emily was not accompanying us. Some of the reasons for this are that we won't be able to access the pocket dimension there. The spatial field of the forbidden forest pocket dimension was so strange that it made any spatial transfer extremely dangerous. Emily had also decided that camping in a wild jungle for two weeks was not an ideal holiday.
This both comforted and disturbed Veronica. On the one hand, even if we took all the necessary precautions, the forbidden forest was very dangerous. On the other hand, she thought that the three of us spending time together would break Emily's stubbornness. It seemed that Emily did not want to form a druid circle bond with me despite the maledictus curse. She saw the bond as a form of slavery, and apparently she could be quite stubborn when she wanted to be.
Veronica and I looked at each other for a moment, then she grabbed my forearm and apparated as close as she could to the pocket dimension inside the forbidden forest.
Veronica said, 'By Merlin, apparating with you is extremely difficult. You need to learn to apparaton soon.'
I just looked at her with a bitter smile. Apparently there are some downsides to having magic resistance. Right there, before we entered the forbidden forest pocket dimension, we took out our camping equipment from our pocket dimension. At the same time, we took out a pair of Heidels that we were able to buy thanks to Veronica. Heidels are xx-grade magical creatures. They looked like horses except for their scaly skin. Apparently, they were bred to be used while exploring such dangerous areas in the magical world. It took me a while to learn how to ride them, but I finally succeeded.
The first day in the forest was quite calm. We rode the heidels quietly until the evening and set up camp when it got dark. While Veronica was setting up temporary wards around the campsite, I was setting up the camping tent. After a while, we both finished our work and sat down to eat in front of the fire pit we had placed in the middle of the campsite. After eating quietly for a while, Veronica finally broke the silence.
Veronica said, 'Thank you for being so patient with Emily. She can be extremely irritating sometimes.'
I said playfully while looking extremely surprised. 'Only sometimes?'
Veronica said after raising her hands in surrender. 'Okay, okay, most of the time it can be uncomfortable.'
Rubeus said, 'That's okay. I'm sure she's had a hard life.'
We continued to eat in silence for a while and then Veronica spoke again.
'He wasn't always so cold and distant, you know? She didn't always try so hard to keep people at a distance. She was a very cheerful and friendly child.'
Rubeus said, 'Then what happened?'
Now she looked furious.
Veronica said, 'What happened? Maledictus, of course, the curse that destroys everything we hold dear in life. She was eight years old. She had a kitten. When I wasn't home, she had her first transformation. She turned into a giant scorpion and tore the poor kitten apart. I came home to find her crying, covered in the cat's blood. She never made any friends, human or animal.'
Oh man, that must have been really traumatic. Although it's been on my radar for a few days now. Instead of Emily being really mean and annoying, it was like she just wanted to push me and everyone else away.
Veronica 'At first, we were both really hopeful after the divination ritual finally gave us an answer. We thought we might finally find a cure. Unfortunately, that didn't lead to the result we wanted.'
I couldn't help flinching at the last sentence. She must have realised it too, because she continued quickly.
Veronica 'Don't get me wrong, the bond the ritual created between us couldn't be more different than the bond of slavery. You're a good person, but it was disappointing to say the least that we came to such a conclusion when we were expecting a cure.'
Rubeus 'I understand, I'm going into the tent for a while, I have a book to read.'
I entered the tent in a slightly depressed state. The tent had been expanded with a traceless stretching spell. There were several rooms inside. Before going to the dining table in the common area, I picked up a random charm book.
From here on, r-18
I don't know how long I was there reading. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't realise Veronica had entered the tent and crawled under the table until I felt a pair of hands on my crotch. When I looked down I realised Veronica was looking at me with a smile and before I could speak she jumped in.
Veronica said, 'I think it's time to give my druid master a present for being so good to me and my daughter.' She said this playfully with a wink. After that night we had sex a few more times during the term. Another thing I noticed was that both he and I enjoyed the master-servant game.
It took only a few seconds for her skilful hands to remove my trousers and underwear and take my dick in her mouth. For a while I watched the beautiful view in front of me and savoured the pleasure.
After a while I grabbed her by the hair, pulling her hard and guiding her. Veronica was gagging from trying to take it all in her mouth as I pressed her head against my penis. At the same time she was stroking my testicles. With a jolt I came in Veronica's mouth and I could see her straining to swallow all my semen. After a while she came round and left me. Unfortunately, we couldn't go any further in the most dangerous area of Magic Britain.
