A Picnic by the Forbidden Forest

Inside the women's restroom, after a collective lecture from the professor, Lester and his four companions were successfully released.

"Um, Malfoy, this is for you. Thank you for saving me!"

Before leaving, Hermione shyly slipped a small handkerchief into Malfoy's hand and then ran off bashfully.

Looking at the little pink handkerchief in his hand, Malfoy was so happy he almost forgot who he was.

However, seeing Lester's disdainful expression, Malfoy still managed to act cool, and Hermione shouted:

"Don't get me wrong, this is just my Potions partner. I just heard something was wrong when I went to the bathroom, so I happened to save you!"

It has to be said, no wonder Professor Snape liked Malfoy, that arrogant guy; the two of them are quite similar in some ways.

"Alright, they're almost at the Gryffindor Common Room, and you're only just now shouting? Do you think I'm just pretending to be interested in you?!"

Malfoy: "..."

Malfoy didn't react to Lester's insults. Of course, he wasn't stupid. If Hermione had heard him, the little witch he had in his grasp would have flown away.

After Lester and Malfoy returned to the Slytherin Common Room, bickering and teasing each other, a shadow emerged from the corner.

Professor Snape's expression was incredibly complex; Malfoy's behavior just now reminded him of himself back then.

However, the difference is that Malfoy is handsome, rich, and popular at school, with an older brother who takes him around.

As for Snape, in his youth, he had nothing but his handsome face.

As soon as Lester and Malfoy returned to the Slytherin Common Room, they were surrounded by layers of eager young wizards.

"Brother Lai, are you alright after you went out? Did you bump into Troll?"

"Isn't that obvious? Back in Lai Ge's day, even if there were a hundred Troll, Lai Ge could defeat them as easily as taking off his pants to fart."

"Senior, your way of expressing it is a bit inappropriate. Actually, taking off your pants to fart is not a simple matter."

"Oh? What makes you say that, junior?"

The third-year student who was speaking had a reminiscing expression on his face and recalled:

"Back then, I was a second-year wizard. I was on the Knight Bus when I suddenly felt a churning in my stomach."

"I know I'm facing a serious situation: gambling, gambling that it's not a fart."

"And then what happened?"

"I lost. That time, I lost terribly!"

Lester: "..."

On the other side, Malfoy was also entangled with Pansy.

"Draco, Draco, are you alright? If something happened to you, your little sister will be heartbroken."

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Actually, you don't need to worry about your sister. The tear stains on my eyes are just from when I was worried about you and accidentally cried."

Malfoy: "..."

To be honest, he was deeply moved that someone cared about him so much.

But looking at Pansy's poodle-like face, Malfoy hesitated to move, fearing he might be taken advantage of.

After several tens of minutes of warm greetings and pleasantries, the older Slytherin left, satisfied.

Actually, they didn't want to grovel before Lester like this, but this society is just too corrupt.

Those who fawn over Lester have already secured jobs after graduation, so what reason do they have not to fawn over him?

After everyone else left, the first-year Slytherin wizards gathered around.

The older students flatter him for their own benefit, but in Lester's eyes, this group is his true core of Slytherin.

Those older students have all gone astray; I only feel at ease using those I've nurtured from a young age.

"Classmates, it's Friday today. I propose we go on a picnic in the Forbidden Forest!"

Lester enticed, "The Forbidden Forest is full of fascinating Fantastic Beasts, and their fur is priceless; you could sell it for a fortune in Diagon Alley!"

The Forbidden Forest is truly a treasure trove for Hogwarts.

Just like Hagrid, the castle caretaker of Hogwarts, this wealthy man, backed by the Forbidden Forest, is practically a hidden tycoon in the Wizarding World.

Lester's desire to go to the Forbidden Forest Forbidden Forest wasn't for the money, but solely for the precious materials within.

Many Fantastic Beasts that are extinct elsewhere can be found in the Forbidden Forest.

For the sake of the Azkaban Interest Group's sustainable development plan, Lester felt it necessary to lure a group of Fantastic Beasts from the Forbidden Forest to settle in Azkaban.

Of course, Dumbledore the height of his power, so he certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

However, we can first improve our breeding experience, and then when Dumbledore dies, we can lead a large army to move the entire Forbidden Forest into Azkaban.

"The Forbidden Forest?" Malfoy hesitated, then said, "My father told me that the animals in the Forbidden Forest are dangerous, and that we young wizards would meet with misfortune if we went there."

Jiedi nodded in agreement, saying, "Headmaster Dumbledore has repeatedly emphasized that we are not allowed to approach the Forbidden Forest."

For every person who opposes something, there is someone who agrees.

Krim, who is of Half-blood, was the first to stand up and express his support.

"It's alright, with Brother Lai here, even if there are man-eating monsters in the Forbidden Forest, they won't be a match for Brother Lai!"

Actually, Krim wasn't particularly interested in the Forbidden Forest; after all, who wouldn't want to risk their life? But...

Krim continued, "Maybe we'll even find some hair, and then we can get some pocket money!"

A small number of young wizards have no worries about food or clothing, but most of them live only average lives, and some are even burdened with Hogwarts student loans.

If young wizards could exchange the fur of Fantastic Beasts for Galleon, they would find it hard to resist the temptation.

Lester reassured him, "Don't worry, we're just taking a look around the outside of the Forbidden Forest today."

"Don't forget, there are guards around the Forbidden Forest. The fact that he's still alive means that the area outside the Forbidden Forest is still safe."

"Besides, it's Friday today. Don't you want to have a bonfire party near the Forbidden Forest?"

Malfoy: "A bonfire party?!"

The scene of the bonfire party immediately flashed into his mind.

He was grilling meat, and next to him was the young wizard Hermione, who was wiping his sweat with tissues and telling him he could take a break.

Then everyone gathered around the campfire to sing, and he held Hermione's little hand.

Her little hands were chubby, and her little face was rosy.

"I think Draco is right. I, Draco Malfoy, unconditionally support Lester!"

Lester: "..."
