Chapter 19: •Unexpected change and complete transformation for the first time
With Christmas now over, classes were resumed.
Extimum followed his morning routine and then went to class.
At the end of the morning classes, there was free time before lunch.
Today he would put into practice his study of shadow magic, he had only learned 2 spells, the first, 'tristis tie', focused on tying the body of a person with his shadow and the second spell, 'truci cursu' allowed to leave a trace in someone's shadow, as well as listening to the target's words.
So with the goal in mind he went to the Ravenclaw common room, he planned to test it with the students who were there, he would not do anything drastic, he would only test its usefulness.
Upon entering the room, he sat on a cushion and set his sights on a second year student who was sitting on the other side of the room, he specifically chose it because the light fell on one side of his body casting good shadow, in addition , he was concentrating on reading a book.
He took out his wand and pointed at that person's feet.
Extimum : " tristis tie ". Extimum muttered the spell.
The spell wouldn't give any obvious signs, so there was no problem with testing it on someone stealthily.
After casting the spell, he could feel a connection with the shadow of the target, he did not think that he could bind him completely, but with the strength of the connection he felt he could retain it for a few seconds.
I try to mobilize her.
the shadow effectively distorted a bit and stretched out, moved it slowly near the leg of the chair, he wouldn't test it directly on the person, that would be too risky, if he could control his shadow to tie it down would be enough.
The spell did not allow much control over the shadow, its function was to slightly control the shadow and solidify it on a chosen target, however, it was a simple spell that would allow he to test the magic of said element.
When the shadow wrapped around the chair leg, he fully cast the spell.
Then the shadow darkened, taking on a solid build and tightening around it.
Seeing that the spell worked, he undid his control. To his surprise, the spell did not disappear immediately, it remained for around 5 minutes.
Extimum : 'its duration without intervention is quite good, however, unless you want to break someone's bones, you will have to be very delicate with its use'.
In fact, when the shadow disappeared and returned to its place, the leg of the chair to which it was tied showed marks as if it had been strongly pressed.
Extimum : 'well, we'll have to try the second one'.
He pointed his wand again at the same person and again murmured the spell.
Extimum : " truci cursu ".
Suddenly, information came to Extimum's mind of the approximate position of the target as well as what he was muttering about.
???: "so, you should make sure to add the rose thorns followed by the mint ...".
Extimum : 'I can really hear what you are mumbling as you read, wait, what?…'.
Extimum : 'those ingredients…'.
Extimum focused his gaze on the student.
He was a boy of 12 or 13 years old, he had black hair and brown eyes, his face was a bit handsome but he had nothing else in particular, except for the fact, that what Extimum had just heard was the recipe for the potion 'filter of love ', a potion that is taught in higher years, such a potion is learned more for the importance of knowledge than for its use, there was no reason for a second year to learn such a potion.
Extimum : 'it seems I need to be more careful what the students around me are doing.'
It was a mere coincidence, but it doesn't change the fact that a second-year student was learning such a potion and it was clearly not their grade material.
Extimum : 'Well, a lot of practice for today'.
After finishing his practices, he headed to the dining room for lunch.
.
Time passed and with it, the days, the snow melted little by little with the passing of these, giving way to spring.
Extimum was in the dining room right now, it was his free time, he was doing an assignment for his potions classes, as he approached to finish he heard a noise that distracted him. Looking up from his work, he found Neville entering the dining room, jumping with both legs glued together.
Not giving it much importance, he just waved his wand and undid the spell of Neville who fell face down to the ground when he suddenly regained his leg mobility.
His fall caused a series of laughter from the students. Extimum ignored it and finished his task.
It was not uncommon to see Neville the victim of some spell or prank, mainly due to a lot of bad luck and that he looked vulnerable.
Hogwarts students could be quite cruel, and while magic was there to solve common problems, It did not exempt you from the new magical daily problems to deal with in a magical world.
For example, did you know that ghosts often leave ectoplasm when they pass through some objects? Ugh, it's disgusting, there is even a spell specially created to get rid of it.
As for the jokes, well they range from magical surprises in your seat, crossing a door or eating something, their results would vary in general, such as getting dirty, some slight pain or discomfort, an example would be the slight transfiguration spells, on one occasion he saw someone end up with bunny ears on their head.
Ever since Extimum noticed that student researching the love potion, he has discovered that there seems to be a silent war between some students with these kinds of jokes. Luckily it seems that no one has targeted him yet, although if it were the case he would make sure they regret it.
** pam **
While Extimum was lost in thought, Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived at his seat.
Harry: "We have leads on Nicolas Flamel."
Ron: "We found out that he was associated with Dumbledore before".
Hermione : "there was a book in the library that mentioned it, do you want to come?".
Extimum : "okay, let's go."
Extimum : 'It was about time they found out, which means the time for Quirrell to act is near'.
Extimum got up and put his scrolls in their expandable bag, then followed them.
.
In the library, Extimum , Harry, and Ron were sitting at a table waiting for Hermione .
Hermione came up with a large book and tossed it on the table.
Hermione : "I had them look in the wrong section, how could I be so clumsy, I pulled this out days ago for a light reading." Hermione expressed her annoyance at herself with the situation.
Ron: "is that ... a light reading?"
Ron's comment earned a look of judgment from Hermione .
Extimum : "Mmm, depending on the subject ... it could be."
Ron: "Fanatics."
Hermione : "Here he is, Nicolas flamel is the only one who has been able to create the philosopher's stone."
Ron and Harry: "the philosopher's stone?".
Extimum: "is the one that is mentioned in some stories with which you could turn metal into gold and make the elixir of eternal life, I know its basic information but I did not know who had made it."
Hermione : "exactly and the only one that exists today was belongs to Nicolas flamel, the great alchemist, who has just celebrated 665 years of life. That must be what they keep on the third floor, what Fluffy cares for; the Philosopher's Stone".
Harry: "We should ask Hagrid, he was the one who pulled the stone off the bench so he must know more about it."
Extimum:' should I go? I don't want to be caught and I couldn't escape the situation again or it would be as if I betrayed them, on the other hand, I really want to see a dragon, ahh, forget it, I will take advantage and explore the forbidden forest, I could try to test my transformation '.
Hermione : "Fine, but we'll go after dinner, I still have some work to finish."
.
At around 9pm, the group met Extimum at the entrance to the Ravenclaw tower and they sneaked off together to visit Hagrid.
Hagrid's hut was located on the outskirts of the castle, near the entrance to the forbidden forest, it was a medium-sized stone hut, with a chimney protruding from its roof.
As he approached the door, Harry knocked to knock.
**Knock Knock**
Hagrid opened the door a moment later, He wore simple clothes and had oven mitts in his hands.
Hagrid: "excuse me, but I'm not in a position to entertain you." Immediately after finishing his words, he tried to close the door.
But he stopped midway upon hearing everyone's words.
All: "We know about the philosopher's stone."
Hagrid: "aish, come in." Hagrid let them pass after sighing.
Upon entering, they all settled into one of Hagrid's giant armchairs.
The hut was noticeably larger inside, however, in addition to a personal bedroom and a bathroom, the living room was close to the kitchen and dining room.
Harry: "We think Quirrell might want to steal the stone."
Hagrid: "Do you keep making things up? First Snape and now Quirrell?"
Harry: "but he's been acting suspicious."
Ron: "Yes, Harry and I followed him and we saw him visit various places while hiding behind a cloak, although ultimately we lost him ... but that and his act of bewitching Harry's broom show that he's up to no good."
Hagrid: "that's ridiculous, Quirrell has been working at Hogwarts for several years and I have never seen him do anything strange, I admit that after coming back from his vacation he became a little more nervous but maybe he is just a little traumatized by his travels, even he was the former Muggle studies professor. "
Ron: "What about Snape?"
Hagrid: "what about him?"
Harry: "Snape is also suspected of wanting to steal the stone."
Hagrid: "that's even more ridiculous, Snape is one of those who protects the stone, he doesn't have to steal it."
Harry: "what?"
Hagrid: "You heard, well see you later, I'm a little worried about other matters"
Extimum: "So there are other masters who also take care of the stone?"
Hermione : "Sure, then there must be other magical wards protecting the stone".
[I couldn't write Hagrid's laugh, it's like a kind of proud and contained laugh at the same time]
Hagrid: "That's right, that's why I think it's a waste of time, no one will be able to pass Fluffy, jojojo, the only ones who know how to pass it are me and Dumbledore ."
Hagrid: "I shouldn't have said, I shouldn't have said that."
Ignoring Hagrid who was again berating himself for having a loose mouth, they continued talking.
Extimum : "Maybe Snape was bitten by Fluffy trying to stop Quirrell?"
Hermione : "That really could be."
Harry: "However, why would Quirrell want the stone?"
Since no one knew the answer, they fell silent thinking about it, until they were interrupted by the noise of a cauldron shaking.
Hagrid upon hearing the sound, rushed over to the cauldron and took out an egg.
Hagrid: "Ah, it's hot, it's hot." Hagrid exclaimed as he carried the egg in his hands quickly towards the table.
Extimum's eyes gleamed, one of the things he had come here for was finally ready. Even if he had seen strange creatures like Nocturn or others in magical books with realistic images, but it was not the same and here he had the opportunity to see a real dragon.
Everyone got closer to see the egg that was constantly shaking.
Harry: "Hagrid, what is that thing?"
Hagrid: "This is ... ah ... it's a ...". Hagrid hesitated to say it, he clearly knew what it meant to have a dragon.
Ron: "I already know what it is, but Hagrid, where did you get it from?"
Hagrid: "I won it, a stranger gave it to me at the bar, I suspect ... he was happy to get rid of it."
As they spoke the egg shook more intensely and finally cracks began to appear on the surface of the egg.
** creak creak **
After a few more seconds, the egg explosively collapsed sending some pieces to fly and in front of them was a dragon, it was the size of a small dog, green in color and still retained a bit of its stickiness when it had just come out of the egg.
** roaguah **
The baby dragon tried to roar, but it was just born and its vocal cords did not allow it to unleash a true roar.
Hermione : "It's a ...".
Extimum: "Dragon". Extimum finished his words as he observed the dragon's characteristics. The dragon was in fact as his ancestor had told him, only a Wyverm instead of a true Dragon, even though he is still a baby, according to the records in the grimoire, a true dragon at birth could already roar and regardless of the species They are usually much larger, however it was still interesting to observe a dragon by today's standards.
Ron: "He's not just a dragon, he's a Norwegian ridgeback , my brother Charlie works with them in Romania."
Hagrid: "Isn't it beautiful? Look at him, he knows his mom, jojojo, hello Norberto."
Harry: "Norberto?"
Extimum : 'another poor creature condemned to call itself by unworthy names, however, we still have time to save you from such a fate'.
Hagrid: "yes, it need a name right?"
Extimum : "in that case, why don't you call her Kaida ?"
Hagrid: " Kaida ?"
Hermione : "why that name?"
Extimum : "well, because she is female of course".
Ron: "What, how do you know?"
Extimum : "I just know, I can't explain it to you." Extimum could actually feel it, even if he knew it from his memories, but he could also come to that conclusion just by looking at her, he wasn't sure why, maybe it was that extrasensory sense? or something else?.
He got weird looks from everyone but they didn't say anything.
Hagrid: "mm, if so, then her name will be Kaida, it's a good name."
** roaguah **
Hagrid: "the dragon seems to like his new name." Hagrid scratched the dragon's chin as he commented.
However, the dragon seemed to get over excited and spit fire into Hagrid's thick beard.
Hagrid: "oh, oh, fuu, fuuu". Hagrid quenched the fire quickly with his hand.
Hagrid: "ah, I have to train him a bit."
As everyone gave the dragon glances for its danger in spitting fire, Hagrid seemed to notice someone through the window.
Hagrid: "who is he?"
They all looked out the window to see Malfoy there.
Harry: "It's Malfoy."
Hagrid: "this is bad."
They all ran out of the hut to see if Draco was still there.
To everyone's surprise, when they left, Draco was actually still there and hadn't come to accuse them.
Harry: "Malfoy."
Draco: "Potter. You know, you're lucky, at first I thought about going to rat them out with the director of their house, but thinking about my friendship with Extimum , I decided that I will forgive you this time and I will not tell anyone what I have seen, but I do not think you have so lucky next time, Hmp ".
After Draco finished his words he turned and left.
Extimum : 'Well that was out of my plans, I guess having good relationships really helps a lot.'
Ron: "That Malfoy, always getting into things that don't concern him, must have followed us on purpose, what other reason would he have for being here."
Hermione : "You're right, but we should go, although Malfoy won't say anything, it's hard to tell if someone else won't see us out here."
Hagrid: "yes, you should go, it's late, lest Filch catch them for being out of their beds."
They had spent about an hour chatting with Hagrid and seeing the dragon so now they had passed curfew.
Harry: "come on."
As they advanced a little further, Harry realized that Extimum was not advancing with them.
Harry: "what's up Extimum , aren't you coming with us?" Hearing Harry speak, Hermione and Ron also stopped.
Extimum : "oh yes I'll go, it's just that I still have something to do and you will go to the Gryffindor common room anyway so I won't go with you."
Ron: "What are you planning to do at night here alone?"
Harry: "Ron."
Ron: "What? Don't tell me you don't want to know?"
Hermione : "It must be something important." Hermione gave Extimum a fixed look and spoke.
Extimum : "Well it's important to me, don't worry, it won't take long".
Harry: "Okay, let's go."
.
Extimum actually wanted to do something else and that was to go to the forbidden forest and explore, in addition, he also wanted to test his complete transformation, on the other hand, Draco's performance was unexpected, it was a pleasant surprise but then they would not be punished and therefore not they would go to the forbidden forest, so he decided to go alone.
After separating from the others and losing sight of them, Extimum headed for the forbidden forest.
.-.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked through the hallways as they made their way to their common room.
Ron: "pss, hey Harry, what do you think Extimum will do ?" Ron whispered to Harry who was next to him.
Harry: "I don't know, maybe he wants to take a night walk."
A look of realization seemed to pass over Ron and Harry's faces as they heard their own words.
Ron: "you won't believe that he ...".
Harry: "it's ... possible."
Hermione : "What are you two muttering so much about?".
Ron: "Oh, I think I left something at Hagrid's cabin and it's really important."
Harry: "yeah, so we were wondering if we should go back quickly for it."
Hermione : "and you can't go tomorrow?"
Ron: "is that it is really important and maybe I need it first thing tomorrow morning."
Hermione : "then let's go back, it shouldn't take long."
Harry: "ah, it is not necessary, Ron and I will go together, it will be something quick, you do not have to give you back, besides, it is too late, if we go around so much it is likely that Filch will find us or that we will be disturbed by 'peeves' ".
[clarification in case anyone does not know, peeves is a poltergeist who annoys students]
Hermione gave them a suspicious look, she felt they were hiding something, but their arguments were valid and they had to get up early for their classes tomorrow.
Hermione : "Good, but you better not delay."
Having obtained confirmation of his alibi, Ron and Harry ran together back to Hagrid's cabin.
.-.
--Pov Extimum -.
** sniff **
Ah, the air in just the entrance of the forest already seems more refreshing, although the atmosphere is a bit dark, I suppose it is only the image of this enchanted forest.
I went deeper into the forest and reached an area where I felt comfortable I stopped.
This is the first time I have attempted a full transformation.
I removed all my inhibitions, my tails unfolded and my ears popped out of my head.
I took off my clothes and put them in my bag, I did not know if it would merge with me in my transformation or appear on me.
Extimum : "Well, you can do it." I encouraged myself.
I closed my eyes and concentrated, imagining myself as when I had been in my mental space.
Some time later, I opened my eyes, my perspective seemed to have changed, I should have succeeded.
While feeling the environment with my senses now enhanced, I became aware of something.
Why does everything seem ... bigger ...
I looked down at my body and ...
Extimum : "damn, why am I so small?"
I had definitely completed the transformation perfectly, but why am i so small?, I shouldn't be bigger than the size of an average rabbit or a small dog or Kaida, something in between those sizes.
How can my magnificent size of at least 5 meters be reduced to this.
Ahhh aish! I can only sigh at this situation.
I can't do anything else, maybe because my control is not good or this specific transformation is special, I can't transform to my actual size.
Well, let's not focus so much on it and enjoy my nighttime adventure.
I took my extendable bag that I had stored my clothes in and hung them around my neck and then looked out into the depths of the forest.
I started to run through the forest and jump from one side to the other, the feeling in this form is… so free… so natural in a way. Although my perspective is lower now, it doesn't affect the experience much.
My body feels stronger and I can see that although my size is small my physical abilities could allow me to survive well here, just the speed with which I run would already be enough to lose the vast majority of normal magical creatures.
The forest is dark, but the brightness of the moon illuminates the forest enough to see the path, in addition to my apparent night vision.
There was also a bit of fog corresponding as the night progressed.
Moving deeper, I can see bright mushrooms and plants of unusual colors, some plants or ferns move slowly by themselves, waiting for some creature to approach them. Some common insects can be seen roaming the forest quietly; little magical creatures run and jump among the trees like squirrels.
The forest seemed to have its own melody, some creatures hummed in very low tones and the plants themselves seemed to respond, the leaves of the trees moved and some animals stirred the ground, an occasional howl or distant walk was also audible. All this in a magical symphony typical of the forest.
...
At some point in my exploration I come across a lake.
It is a true magical lake, the lake water is clear and with a faint glow and you can see through it even in the low light of the moon. Some fish swim there silently.
There are no trees blocking the view of the starry sky in this area and the reflection of the moon falls directly into the center of the lake, seeming to incite the fish to swim around it.
Looking across the lake, I can see some unicorns together quietly drinking water.
Everything seems like a dream place, it is sad to think that such landscapes were once natural in the world and now they are only limited to restricted areas like this.
While I appreciate the beautiful view, I am pulled out of my reverie upon hearing a scream.
** Ahh **
The scream comes from far away, but I can still hear it, with the scream a slight evil and disgusting feeling seemed to ignite, breaking the peace of the previously silent forest. The fish stop swimming around the reflection of the moon and dive into the water, the unicorns also seemed to feel such an unpleasant aura and flee in the opposite direction and the previously calm silence now seems to contain a touch more of the dark in it.
Looking in the direction of the scream, I run towards him, the voice of the scream was clearly Ron's, although I don't know why he could have come here, did they try to follow me? But how did they know I was here?, Is Harry's insight really that great?
End Pov.
.-.
Some time before Extimum delved into the forbidden forest.
Harry and Ron reached the edge of the forbidden forest.
Ron: "hey, on second thought, I don't think we have to enter there, I mean, I don't think Extimum wanted to enter a place like that either, right?"
Harry: "There is no other more likely place he could have gone, besides, Extimum is a bit strange in those ways, you know he probably doesn't see it the same way."
Ron: "ugh, alright, let's go in."
Harry and Ron went into the woods with a lamp that they took from Hagrid's cabin before coming.
The trees of the forest stretched high in the sky and the thickness of each one counted its long life. The forest was dark, the moon helped a little but it would not help you not to stumble over the ins and outs of the winding road, in addition, a light mist had begun to appear from the cold of the night.
The lamp lit the way as they went further into the forest.
Harry: "See, it doesn't seem so bad."
Ron: "yeah, it's just that all this silence is a bit unsettling."
The forest was in fact not totally silent, it is just that normal people or wizards with weak physical senses would not be able to enjoy the sound that was produced by life throughout the magic forest.
Harry: " Extimum !!!, are you here?"
Ron: "shh, Harry, what are you doing? You will attract some magical creature if you keep yelling, you could attract a werewolf ...".
Harry: "Calm down Ron, I don't think there are werewolves here, well I hope so."
Harry and Ron kept talking to lower their nerves and they went slowly into the forest.
Harry: "Ah."
Ron: "what's up Harry?" Ron was alarmed to hear Harry's complaint.
Harry: "it's my scar, it hurts."
Ron: "Maybe we should go back?"
As Ron waited for his friend's response, he saw Harry's gaze fixed on the front, looking that way, Ron also froze.
In front of them was a creature or man, it was covered by a cloak and emitted a dark and menacing aura. The figure was on a unicorn that was dying while the dark figure bit its neck and drank its blood.
At some point, the figure seemed to sense the presence of Harry and Ron and directed its gaze towards them, slowly rising from its position on the unicorn, the figure seemed to move in a ghostly way.
Seeing their approach, Harry and Ron were alarmed.
Ron: "Ahhhhhh, run Harry."
Ron was the first to wake up and screamed in fear, he quickly grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him, starting to run towards the exit of the forest dragging Harry.
The figure sensed their intention and approached them at high speed.
Harry: "it's catching up to us."
Ron turned at Harry's words to see the dark figure about to reach them. Panicked and not knowing what else to do, Ron threw the lamp in the direction of the dark figure.
The lamp crashed to the ground right in front of the figure, lighting a light fire that made the figure recoil.
Seeing that they were able to delay the figure, Harry and Ron ran with new vigor.
However, to their bad luck, they seemed to take the wrong path and find themselves in a more closed area and the only way out was a steep path that would take time to climb, time they did not have as they were followed by the dark figure.
Ron: "It's over, we have nowhere to go Harry."
Harry just looked around for options quickly, but nothing other than the slightly steep path was in sight.
Harry wanted to draw his wand, but he didn't know of any really effective spell he could use against the creature that followed them, he didn't even know what it was.
When the creature was closing in on them and making the pain in his scar worse, there was a blur and the dark figure was pulled a bit away.
.-.
Extimum ran through the forest in the direction of the scream and where the evil presence seemed to come from as well.
Extimum : 'damn, because they had to enter the forest, I had not worried about Voldemort because I did not expect to find him and if I saw it I would just walk away'.
Upon reaching the area where the scream had come from, he only found a broken lamp in the vicinity, so he assumed that they had managed to flee, not lingering here any longer, he followed the trail of the unpleasant energy.
Following them a little more I come to a more closed area of the forest.
There he could see Harry and Ron cornered by a dark creature that gave off an unpleasant aura. His existence for something that nature itself abhorred.
Given the current situation, he did not hesitate any longer and lunged at the figure.
He was confident that he would have an advantage even if it is physically in this way, in addition, Voldemort at this time, completely possessed Quirrell's body so he was in his weakened state as he did not have Quirrell's support and could not use magic given that his soul was very weak.
So taking advantage of his weak state he pounced on him with his claws and pushed him away from Harry and Ron.
Since he appeared in front of Harry and Ron, before they or even the dark figure could perceive his image, he took his human form again and with a spell his clothes quickly took their place on his body. He had kept her in her expandable bag in case she couldn't transform, though after doing so she realized that she could indeed transform her along with her body if she took the form of a celestial fox which was a kind of natural animagus form, although calling it that is not. It mattered a lot when you were a metamorphmagus, after all, as long as he had enough control he could transform into anything.
In her thrust she had not only pushed him away, but also hurt him a bit, so the creature was now staying wary.
Harry and Ron: " Extimum!" Harry and Ron screamed and were shocked by Extimum's sudden arrival and that he could somehow drive the dark figure away.
As the dark creature kept a cautious distance due to the physical force he felt from the boy in front of him and how he had not seen it coming, a sound of footsteps could be heard.
A few moments later and with a great leap another creature had appeared.
It was a centaur, easily recognizable by its features, it had the body of a horse and the torso, arms and head of a human being , its body was white and its hair was blond with blue eyes.
[I'm going with the version of the book that is cooler and for a change, to those who have noticed it, I have put some content of the book to have more information on the story, other things I just invent xd]
Centaurs are astrologers, with deep minds, capable of magic, especially healing, divination, as well as having great talent in archery.
The centaur in question gave a certain feeling of strength, perhaps it was the body of the horse that combined with its human part made it look more robust and strong.
Alerted by the arrival of the centaur, the dark figure immediately withdrew, the boy had already made him extremely cautious and now with a centaur he would have no chance, so he chose to flee.
After the dark figure left, the centaur fixed his gaze on Extimum and gave him a deep look, as if observing an enigma. One that he found particularly strange.
The gaze to which Extimum responded by also staring at him only lasted a moment before the centaur approached Harry and Ron who had also come in this direction upon seeing that the dark figure had fled.
???: "Harry Potter, you must get out of here, many creatures know you, the forest is not safe at the moment, especially for you."
Harry and Ron did not question how the centaur learned his name, the previous situation still had them somewhat scared.
Harry: "but what was that thing that attacked us?"
???: "A monstrous creature, killing a unicorn is a heinous crime. although drinking his blood will keep you alive even if you are on the verge of death, but even at a high price, it is something so pure, that from the moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a curse for half your life ".
Ron: "Who would want something like that?"
???: "Can't you think of anyone?"
Harry: "You mean, the person who drank the blood, the one who killed the unicorn, was it Voldemort?"
???: "Do you know what they hide in the school right now, Harry Potter?"
Ron and Harry: "The Philosopher's Stone". Ron and Harry said in unison.
The centaur just nodded.
"Harry Potter, you are safe and I see that you are in good hands, now I must go, good luck."
The centaur took one last look at Extimum before leaving.
Now finally calm from the previous event, they turned their attention to Extimum .
Harry: " Extimum , are you okay?"
Ron: "Yes, you were very close to that thing."
Extimum : "don't worry, I'm fine, rather, what are you doing here?"
Ron: "eh ...".
Harry: "We tried to follow you, we worried that you might have come to the forbidden forest."
Ron: "but you're here too, so you can't say anything."
Extimum : "Yes, but I knew what I was doing, you can clearly see that in fact I am completely fine and I have even been able to come to save them, they are lucky that Ron is good at screaming or he would not have been able to hear him."
Harry: "ugh".
Extimum : "Come on, let's get out of the forest now and come back."
Extimum , Harry and Ron began to walk quickly out of the forest, it was much easier because Extimum remembered the way and could see better than them, especially now that they did not have the lamp.
Ron: " Extimum , how did you manage to hit that creature?"
Hearing Ron's question, Harry also paid attention.
Extimum : "oh well, the creature hadn't seen me so take advantage when I was focused on you and hit it that's all".
Ron: "What? How can it be so easy? Besides, that thing was terrifying, it was even possible to touch it."
Extimum : "yes, in fact, its texture was very strange, it was smooth, but cold and at the same time almost ghostly, yet it gave a very unpleasant sensation".
Ron: "ugh, we better not talk about that any more and come back."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Zeroz7
Zeroz7 This is officially the longest chapter, I even had to cut it, it was already too long for just one chapter.
here we are seeing some more effects that the existence of Extimum causes, on the other hand, there were unexpected things, don't you think?
