Early the next morning, Harry, Ron, and Neville all received notes at the breakfast table. The contents on all three slips of paper are identical.

Your confinement begins at eleven o'clock tonight. Look for Mr. Filch in the foyer.

- Professor McGonagall

Ever since Harry lost his scores, he had been stared at and spurned by the people, and he had almost forgotten about being locked up. Ron's situation wasn't much better. Although everyone else knows Harry Potter but not Ron Weasley, Ron's life is not much better - he has a prefect brother Percy. Percy was furious that Ron had deducted so many points from Gryffindor this time. "He spends fifty minutes a day educating poor little Ronnie," the Weasley twins said.

At eleven o'clock that night, they went downstairs with Neville to the foyer. Filch was already waiting there - and Malfoy and- Silver?

"Why are you locked up too, Silver?" Harry said.

"Oh, I accidentally broke a couple of broomsticks during flying lessons. You know, those brooms can be considered "antique" things. That's why Mrs. Hodge simply gave me a confinement, which is really a disaster! Silver sighed.

"Shut up, boys! Now is not the time for you to exchange feelings. Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out. I think you're going to have to think twice about breaking the school rules in the future, aren't you? He squinted at them and continued, "Oh, yes...... If you ask me, I will say that hard work and hardship are the best teachers. It's a shame that they have abolished the old-fashioned form of punishment of the past...... Hang you by the wrists and hang you from the ceiling for days. I still have those chains in my office, and I often oil them, maybe they will come in handy one day...... Okay, let's go, but don't try to run away. If you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat. ”

They strode through the pitch-black field. Neville twitched his nose.

The moonlight was bright, but clouds kept drifting over and obscuring the moon, plunging them into darkness. Harry could see the lighted windows in Hagrid's cabin. Then they heard a shout in the distance.

"Is that you, Filch? Hurry up, I'm going to be out. ”

Harry's heart rejoiced; If they were going to work with Hagrid, it wouldn't be too bad. He must have expressed this relief on his face, but Xin Filch said, "You probably thought you were going to have a good time with that idiot, right?" Think again, boy—you're going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out unharmed, even if I was wrong. ”

Hearing this, Neville couldn't help but snort, and Malfoy stopped abruptly.

"Forbidden Forest?" He continued, his voice far less calm than usual, "We can't go in in the middle of the night - there's everything in there - I've heard werewolves." ”

Neville clutched Harry's sleeve and choked up.

"Don't worry so much, there are indeed many unusual creatures in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, but the most dangerous creatures are in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and we won't go deep into the Forbidden Forest, so relax." Silver looked at ease.

"Boy, I hope you'll be able to laugh later." Filch was clearly upset that Silver had sabotaged his intimidation.

Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, Tooth and Tooth following. Hagrid carried his massive stone bow and a well-stocked quiver on his shoulder.

"It's almost time," he said, "and I've been waiting for half an hour." How's it going, Harry, Ron?''" They shouldn't have been so polite, Hagrid," Filch said coldly, "after all, they're here to be punished. ”

"That's why you're late, aren't you?" Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, "I've been teaching them a lesson, huh?" This is not the place for you to teach. Your task is accomplished, and from now on I am responsible. ”

"I'll come back at dawn," Filch said, "to clean up their wreckage." He said viciously, and then turned and walked towards the castle, and the lamp staggered and disappeared into the darkness. Malfoy turned to Hagrid. "I'm not going into that Forbidden Forest." He said. Harry was pleased to hear a hint of horror in his voice. "If you still want to stay at Hogwarts, you have to go." Hagrid said mercilessly, "You've done something wrong, and now you have to pay the price." "Coming here to do things is done by people, not by students. I thought we were writing and checking or something. If my father knew I was doing this, he would-"

"- Tell you that Hogwarts is like that." Hagrid said crudely, "Write check!" What's in it for you? You've got to do something useful, or you're going to have to fuck off. If you think your father is willing to let you be expelled, go back to the castle and pack your bags. Let's go!"

Malfoy didn't move. He looked at Hagrid angrily, but then lowered his gaze again. "Well," said Hagrid, "now listen carefully, what we are going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want to put anyone in danger. Come with me first. He led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, held the lamp aloft in the air, and pointed to a path that was gradually disappearing into the depths of the black forest. They looked into the Forbidden Forest, and a breeze blew on their heads.

"Look over there," said Hagrid, "do you see that shining thing on the ground?" Silvery white? That's the blood of a unicorn. One of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something, and it was badly injured. This is the second time in a week. I died last Wednesday. We're going to try to find that poor unicorn and free it from its misery. ”

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn shows up with us first?" Malfoy asked, his voice filled with unquenchable fear.

"As long as you're with me or Toothtooth, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you." Hagrid said, "Don't leave the path. Alright, now we're going to split up and follow the bloodstains in two separate ways. There was blood everywhere, and apparently it had been stumbling around since at least last night. ”

"I want teeth," Malfoy said busily, looking at his long teeth.

"Okay, but let me warn you, it's a coward." Hagrid said, "Well, me, Harry, and Silver will go one way, and Malfoy, Neville, Ron, and Tooth will go the other." If anyone finds a unicorn, shoot green sparks, understand? Take out your wands and practice - yes - if anyone is in trouble, shoot red sparks and we'll all come to you - all right, be careful, everyone - let's go. ”

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. They walked a little further inside and came to a fork in the road, Harry, Silver, and Hagrid on the left, and Malfoy, Neville, Ron, and Tooth on the right.

They walked silently, their eyes fixed on the ground. Every now and then, a ray of moonlight spilled down from between the branches above, illuminating a silvery-blue trail of blood on the fallen leaves.

Hagrid looked very anxious.

"Could it be that the werewolf killed the unicorn?" Harry asked.

"It's not going to be so fast," said Hagrid, "it's not easy to catch a unicorn, they're animals with great magic. I've never heard of unicorns being hurt before. ”

"Yes, unicorns are quite powerful creatures, their personalities and docile appearances are very different, and the most powerful unicorns can even fight fire dragons without losing the upper hand. Unicorns can be harmed by either powerful wizards or dangerous magical creatures, and we really need to be careful. Silver said.

They walked past a mossy tree stump. They could hear the murmuring of water, and apparently, there was a stream somewhere nearby. On the winding path, there are still speckled unicorn blood stains.

"Hagrid! Look! Red sparks, the others are in trouble!" You two are waiting here!" Hagrid shouted, "Stay on the path and don't move. I'll come when I go. They heard him crackling through the low bushes. Gradually, Hagrid walked away, and all they could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

"Look—" Silver whispered, raising his arm and patting Harry.

A white thing glittered on the ground. Little by little, they moved closer to it.

That's right, that's the unicorn, it's dead. Its slender legs maintained the position it had taken when it fell, and they stretched out unnaturally; Its mane was spread on the pitch-black fallen leaves, white as pearls.

Silver had just taken a step closer to it when a sudden sliding sound caused him to stop and stand still. A bush at the edge of the clearing shook, and then a hooded figure flashed out of the shadows, crawling slowly on the ground like a approaching beast. The cloaked figure approached the unicorn, lowered his head, aimed at the wound on the side of the corpse, and began to drink its blood.

The hooded figure looked up and saw Harry, the unicorn's blood dripping down its chest. It stood up and sped towards Harry—who was too frightened to move.

"Hurry up, I'll stop him." Silver gave Harry a hard push, and Harry came to his senses and ran desperately.

"This kid didn't even talk to me politely." Silver muttered, raising his wand to the hooded figure. "Lady Royna, you must bless me, there are many obstacles!" The hooded figure staggered, but immediately pounced again. "The flames are blazing! Asunder! Pieces! "One had a spell erupting from the tip of Silver's wand, but the hooded figure seemed to be covered with a shield of immunity, and the spells had little effect.

"Isn't ordinary magic useful? Then try this, Rowena Ravenclaw's unique secret method, a spell compressed by the combination of 72 ancient magic scripts, causing a deadly solar eclipse! A powerful white light erupted from the wand, and it was so intense that it was like the sun had fallen on the Forbidden Forest. The hooded figure screamed and glided away like a bat.

"This spell is still too reluctant for me now." Silver looked at the scene in front of him at this time, and it was already a little blurry, "The feeling of magic overdraft is really not very good." Silver heard Hagrid's footsteps and shouts, "It's safe, I can go down." So he lost consciousness.
