The night was dark.

Under the effect of the illusion spell, the four figures and the environment merge into one.

They were experienced, like full-fledged hunters, easily avoiding Filch, expertly dodging the patrolling professor, and quickly walking through the castle towards the Forbidden Forest.

As he reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's hut suddenly heard the barking of dogs.

"Yaya, what's wrong? Is there anyone out there? ”

The oil lamp in the hut was on, and Hagrid, in his plush coat, peeked out through the crack in the door, and the cold wind howled outside, but no one was found.

"Damn, how many times have you howled tonight?"

Hagrid angrily closed the wooden door, and he turned his head to find that Tooth had already taken advantage of him to leave, and had slipped into the warm bed!

Hagrid was furious, "Hurry down, Tooth...... Eh, don't bite, my little one is sleeping, don't disturb it! ”

There was a roar of barking dogs and the sound of chairs knocking over.

"Don't make a fuss, Toothtooth."

Hagrid's voice rang out again.

"I see, I know why you're so restless...... When I come back, I'll introduce you to Filch's Lady Loris.

It's okay, Bobo Tea won't know, hehe~"

There was a lewd laugh from the hut, and soon the oil lamp was turned off.

Hagrid fell asleep again.

The four of them heard the sound of snoring from inside the house, and cautiously crossed Hagrid's house, through his fields, and into the Forbidden Forest.

When he was completely away, Cedric wondered, "Who is Hagrid's little baby?" ”

Fred shook his head. "I didn't know that Hagrid hadn't been home for days during Christmas, and when he came back, he became mysterious."

"He can't get another magical creature from somewhere, right?" George asked.

The four of them looked at each other.

It's a real possibility!

Last year, Hagrid brought in a three-headed dog, Louwie, and William wouldn't be too surprised to find him raising a dragon in his hut one day.

"If only it were a fire dragon." Cedric said, "This way there are the nerves of a fire dragon."

No, Hagrid will definitely not give it, or the Thunderbird, so that you can pick up the tail feathers every day. ”

Cedric started to think about fart again.

In fact, he had the tail feathers of the Thunderbird in his hand, which William had asked for from Newt.

The Thunderbird tail feathers can be used as the core of a wand.

Wands that use the tail feathers of a thunderbird are difficult to master, but they are usually very powerful and suitable for transfiguration.

Most specially, because the Thunderbird is extremely sensitive to supernatural dangers, the wand made from its feathers is said to be able to fire spells first.

Cedric got the Thunderbird tail feathers and was so excited that he almost took William's first kiss, but fortunately he dodged it in time and kicked Cedric out, which saved the festival.

The four of them left the edge of the forest and continued to go deeper. In William's hand, he also held a parchment map.

It wasn't the magical map of Hogwarts, it was the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest is just too big and dangerous.

There are countless clans of magical creatures here, and some of them can be especially dangerous if they accidentally break into.

For example, the Centaur tribe...... They are very xenophobic, and any wizard who tries to enter their clan will be killed.

Hagrid had lived on the edge of the Forbidden Forest for fifty years, and he knew most of the forest inside out.

Over the years, he has produced a set of commonly used maps that mark the territory of countless magical creatures and the growing locations of common plants.

Even if Professor Sprout wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to pick plants, he had to be led by Hagrid.

William asked Hagrid for such a map so that they could wander around the Forbidden Forest.

Although Hagrid was reluctant for William to enter the Forbidden Forest, he was more afraid that they would accidentally break into a dangerous place without a map.

So in the end it was given.

William: They're not going to go deep tonight, they're just here to pick psychedelic mushrooms.

Psychedelic mushrooms ripen during this time, and if they are not picked in time, the aroma will attract other creatures.

Psychedelic mushrooms are an important part of the elixir, that is, because of this part, overdose of the elixir will lead to side effects such as blind arrogance.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. They followed the marked road signs, walked a little inside, reached a fork in the road, and turned to the right.

This is a path that gradually disappears into the depths of the black jungle.

"What's that?" Cedric said abruptly pointing somewhere.

A ray of moonlight spilled down from the branches above, illuminating a silvery-blue trail of blood on the fallen leaves.

William's wand lit up, he held it high, and the light dispelled the darkness.

Under the glow of fluorescent flickering, the pool of blood glistened.

William's face changed. "It's unicorn blood!"

Unicorns are beautiful and pure creatures that are golden when they are young, and their bodies turn pure white when they are fully grown.

These creatures are docile, beautiful, and possess strong magic, and the Forbidden Forest rarely has creatures that harm them.

It's unusual to have so much unicorn blood on the ground.

"That unicorn should be badly injured." William's brow furrowed.

"Do you want to find it separately?" Fred asked.

"Don't separate, unicorns have strong magic, and I've never heard of unicorns getting hurt before.

So creatures that can damage unicorns aren't easy. ”

All four of them were together, and William still had the confidence to protect them, and if they were separated, it would be easy for them to go wrong.

They followed the trail of blood and walked past a mossy stump. William could hear the murmuring of water, and it was clear that there was a stream somewhere nearby.

They walked more slowly than before, pricking up their ears to catch the slightest sound.

Suddenly, in the vines in front of them, they saw something moving.

All four had their wands pointed forward.

The thing emerged from the vine and stared directly at William and the others.

It turned out to be a centaur - it was a man above the waist, white blonde hair, but below the waist was a cream-colored shiny horse, with a long silver tail dragging behind it.

"Oh, it's you, Fezzelon." William breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his wand.

"How are you?" Cedric also said hello.

Fetzelen was a centaur and William had seen him a few times before, so he naturally recognized him.

"Good evening, young wizard." Fezeren said, his voice low and sad.

"You're going to attack me with a wand?"

"No, Fesellen." William explained, "We found the unicorn's blood, is there something attacking it?" ”

"Yes, we centaurs have found out, too."

Fezzellon sighed, he tilted his head and stared at the sky, exuding melancholy.

He was about to speak, but George hurriedly said loudly, "The stars are bright tonight." ”

"That's right, Mars is bright." Fred grinned.

"Venus is still as bright as ever, it's brighter than Mars." Cedric said seriously.

"The moon is the brightest, and it is big and round." William said quietly.

Fezzelon: "......"
