I'm a What? (Harry Potter Girls x Harry Potter Twin! Male Reader) Book 1

7 - Into the Forbidden Forest

It was early the next morning when (Y/N), Harry, Ron and Draco woke up. They slowly pulled of there covers and changed into some robes they could wear into the forest, without fear of them being torn to shreds, as (Y/N) had casted simple fabric invulnerability charms on them. (Y/N) also remembered to pick up his briefcase and put some healing balms and potions in the storage shed area that he had crated magically. He had also prepped a Forbidden Forest style biome in one of the rooms he made, in case he needed to take care of any creatures and also collect some to study. They made their way down to the common room, where they met Hermione, wo was already up and reading a book. (Y/N), who was interested in what she was reading, decided to greet Hermione and then proceed to read over her shoulder. The small action by her best friend made Hermione blush lightly, before Harry, Ron and Draco cleared the throats rather loudly before reminding the two that they needed to go down and get some breakfast before going into the forest.

"So what do you think we are going to see in the forest (Y/N)?" Hermione asked.

"Probably bowtruckles, centaur, nifflers, I did hear that there is a cluster of acromantula living somewhere in the forest, but it would be unlikely that we would come across them." (Y/N) replied

"Personally, I can't wait, it was the only thing I ever enjoyed talking to father about," Draco said. Draco had grown close enough to Hermione, Harry and Ron to tell them about his past, and (Y/N) was still encouraging him to tell Dumbledore but Draco hadn't yet.

"Hagrid's always wanted a dragon so I know there won't be any in there as he has never had one," Harry stated.

"Obviously Hagrid would want a dragon, he loves dangerous animals," Ron added, stuffing his face with syrup-smothered pancakes. Hermione and Draco had opted for an English breakfast, whilst Harry, who was on the same wave length as Ron, was stacking waffles of his plate. (Y/N), on the other hand, was eating lots of eggs, fruit, buttered toast and yogurt. When the others pointed out his strange array of food, (Y/N) said that he had asked Oliver Wood about good workout food so he could build up some strength for playing Quidditch and Oliver told him he would want to keep a lean stature as a seeker, and to build up leaner muscles, (Y/N) would want to eat specific foods and had told him about some of them. The others looked at (Y/N) with bewilderment at the level of seriousness he was taking towards Quidditch. Once they had finished eating, they picked up some sandwiches, fruit and some crumpets, with a jar of jam and a pack of butter that had been placed for them to take with them for their lunch and they began to make their way down to Hagrid's hut

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!

"What do you wa- Oh it's you five. You all eaten? Good. Picked up the food Professor Dumbledore left for your lunch? Good. Let me put on my coat and get Fang and then we will head in," Hagrid said.

Five minutes later, the quintet, Hagrid and Fang were walking through the forest. (Y/N) had his eyes peeled and was jogging around briefcase in hand, in which they had stored their food, in the storage shed area. He looked like a kid in a candy store. They hadn't ventured in far when (Y/N) spotted something. "Hagrid look. There in the tree. There are bowtruckles," (Y/N) said, pointing at a tree. The others looked and could see little stick people like creatures walking across the branches and climbing along the trunk.

"Nice spot (Y/N). Bowtruckles aren't dangerous as long as you keep your distance from their tree. They are completely unaffected by magic, so the only method of defence is placating them with their favourite foods. By offering their favourite foods, they will allow you to be near the tree and also will allow wand makers to collect wood from the tree, to use to make a wand. They are omnivores and, due to their availability, woodlice make up most of their diet, however they also quite like cucumbers," Hagrid said as he pulled out some cucumber sticks and gave a couple to each of the five Gryffindors. (Y/N) began to walk towards the tree, the others following close behind him. The bowtruckles, sensing someone near, began to guard the tree. (Y/N), as he approached, made sure the cucumber sticks were in sight, which made the bowtruckles lower their guard and come closer to the group, scaling a low sweeping branch to get to them. (Y/N) held out a cucumber stick, one by one, to the bowtruckles, as the others followed suit. Ron looked a little uneasy but with some gentle persuasion from his friends, passed the cucumber sticks with a smile plastered across his face. (Y/N) turned to Hermione and noticed her giggling as she held a baby bowtruckle in her hand, gently feeding it a cucumber stick, which caused a blush to cover his face. As he was passing out the cucumber sticks, he noticed a bowtruckle sneezing and being shunned by the others. He held out his hand to the bowtruckle, who climbed onto his hand and began to eat the cucumber stick. Very gently, so as to not hurt the bowtruckle, (Y/N) entered it's mind so he could talk to it.
