At eleven o'clock in the evening, I really couldn't figure out why such a thing as labor reform was scheduled in the middle of the night, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the Great Hall, Draco and Sakura were already waiting there, and there was also an impatient Filch.

"Come with me," said Filch, leading them outside with a lamp, "I bet you're going to get even more out thinking about how to break school discipline again, right?" Hum! ”

He glanced at them, and continued, "That's right, diligence and hardship are the best teachers, and I dare say it's a pity that they abolished the old punishments, and should have tied your arms and hung you for a few days, and I still have that chain in my office, and I've oiled it up and kept it for the time to use it!" Okay, go over there, don't try to run away, that will only make your situation worse. ”

The group made their way through the courtyard, and Harry was guessing what kind of punishment they would receive, which must have been terrifying, otherwise Filch wouldn't have looked so elated.

The moon was very clear, but a few clouds passed by, and they were suddenly plunged into darkness. Harry could see the light from the window of Hagrid's hut ahead, and then they heard a call in the distance.

"Is that you, Filch? Hurry up, I'm going to get to work. Harry's heart softened, and if he wanted them to work with Hagrid, it wasn't too bad, at least his experience at Dursley's house would be useful.

His ease may have been shown on his face, as Filch said, "I guess you think you're going to get along well with this idiot, right?" Ha! Think about it, little ones, you're on your way to the Forbidden Forest, and I'd be sorry if you could get out of it all the time. ”

"To the Forbidden Forest?" Draco repeated, but had lost his usual composure. "We can't go there at night, there's a lot of strange stuff there, and I've heard that there's even a werewolf in there!"

"You can only be blamed for that, right?" Filch said, his voice trembling a little with great joy. "You should think about those werewolves before you get into trouble, don't you?"

No one answered Filch's words, as Hagrid strode toward them from the darkness, followed by bouncing teeth. Hagrid carried his large stone bow and a bag of arrows on his shoulder.

"It's almost time," he said, "and I've been waiting here for half an hour." How's that, Harry? ”

"Hagrid, you really shouldn't be too nice to them," Filch said coldly, "and they're here to be punished." ”

"That's why you're late, right?" Hagrid asked, frowning at Filch. "Give them a lesson, huh? This is not the other person you are lecturing people to. You've done your part, and I'll take over the few of them from now on. ”

"I'll be back at dawn," Filch said, "to clean up their wreckage." He added in a gloomy voice, turning and walking back to the castle, the light in his hand dancing up and down in the darkness.

"Don't be scared by him, he's just jealous of you." Hagrid reassured, "With me, you're not in danger." ”

After receiving Hagrid's assurance, Harry and the others suddenly calmed down, at least from the outside, Hagrid was still quite worthy of dependence. Well, it looks like so.

"But I've heard that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?" Draco said uncertainly.

The Forbidden Forest is the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and Hogwarts is now Dumbledore's territory, and in his usual style, this creature should not be stocked in the Forbidden Forest.

"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing!" Hagrid argued.

"No, there is." Sakura said, "Dumbledore took in some of the innocents who had been forced to become werewolves, allowing them to live in the depths of the Forbidden Forest and live like primitives. This is what the godfather told me. ”

"Huh? Well, since Professor Black told you this, did he tell you that everything in the Forbidden Forest is now up to me? ”

"You are the hunting ground keeper appointed by Dumbledore, and the hunting grounds of Hogwarts are what we call the Forbidden Forest, and the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will retain some respect for you, otherwise it will provoke Dumbledore." Sakura continued, "Actually, we don't need to be too nervous, all the first generation creatures living in the Forbidden Forest signed a contract with the castle when Hogwarts was built, and neither they nor their descendants can actively cause harm to the students of Hogwarts. ”

"Yes, but those werewolves don't have a contract."

Hagrid tried to make a dangerous face, but was blocked by his bushy beard.

"Well, little girl, you win. But you still have to be careful, there is a dangerous guy in the Forbidden Forest lately. I'm not kidding! ”

"Now, listen carefully to me, because what we are going to do is very dangerous, but I don't want you to be in any danger, come with me." He led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, holding his lamp aloft as Hagrid pointed to a narrow path that zigzagged into the thick pitch black woods to show them.

"Look there," said Hagrid, "see that thing that twinkles on the ground?" Something with a silvery sheen, that's unicorn blood. There was a unicorn in it that had been injured by something, and this was the second time in a week, and I found one dead last Wednesday. We're going to find the poor wounded guy now, and we're going to help him out of pain if we need it. ”

"But what if the thing that hurt the unicorn meets us first?" Draco asked, unable to hide the fear in his voice.

"Don't tell me that the little master of the Malfoy family doesn't have a few life-saving things on him." Hagrid said in a mocking tone.

Yes, yes, but Draco didn't bring it because he was too troublesome!

"If a werewolf dares to dance his paws at me, tomorrow I will make the British werewolf completely extinct!"

Sakura said very domineeringly.

Hagrid: "......"

"Remember to follow the road. Okay, now we're going to split into two teams and go in two directions along different paths. Look at! It was all bloodstained, at least it must have been there last night. ”

Ron quietly moved a few centimeters in Sakura's direction, but Draco moved faster, grabbing Harry with one hand and holding Sakura's shoulder with the other, "We're in groups of three, are you okay?" ”

Hagrid thought about it for a moment and found that Harry was really safest with the two nobles, after all, these ancient families really couldn't afford more losses, and they were very concerned about the safety of their descendants.

"Okay, that's all."

"If anyone finds that unicorn, they're going to set off green fireworks as a signal, clear? Reach out your hands and try it, and that's it. Also, if you get into any trouble, set off red fireworks and the rest of us will come to your rescue, remember, be careful. Let's go! ”

The forest was still dark and silent, and there was a fork in front of them when they walked up the path, so Harry, Draco, and Sakura followed the path on the left, while Hagrid, Ron, and Hermione walked in the path on the right.

"Could it be that some werewolf is slaughtering those unicorns?"

It was quiet in the forest, and Harry couldn't help but want to say something.

"Impossible." At this time, Sakura was very calm in the shadows, as if she had returned to her own home, "Unicorns are creatures with divine powers, and it is difficult for a cursed life like a werewolf to harm them, and the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest must also consider Dumbledore's thoughts, and cannot hold forbidden rituals in exchange for stronger strength, otherwise it will be a provocation to Dumbledore." ”

"Forbidden rituals?"

"All dark creatures can increase their strength by hunting sacred creatures for sacrificial rituals, but after humans became dominant, such activities were listed as forbidden, and those dark creatures did not have suitable prey for rituals, because almost all sacred creatures were hunted or kept in captivity by humans."

It was the first time Harry had heard of this, and he discussed it with Sakura until half an hour later Draco pulled them both of them into their robes.

"Shh......h Listen......"

It was as if the cloak was hunting in the wind, it wasn't from them, and when I looked carefully in the direction where the sound came from, there was a dark shadow moving on the ground!

The shadow moved slowly along a silver trail, and soon they followed the shadow to discover a beautiful creature. The pure white hair is not the slightest bit variegated, the streamlined body is very suitable for running, and a spiral-shaped horn sticks out from the head, even if they are more than ten meters away, they can feel the magic fluctuations from above.

This is a unicorn, the most beautiful creature of the forest, ever.

It's dead.

Whether it was Harry, Draco, or Sakura, there was no reason for a sense of loss in their hearts, as if they were sorry for the death of this wonderful creature.

The shadow didn't seem to notice the trailing man behind it, and "it" crawled to the unicorn's side, lowered its head like a beast, leaned over the unicorn's wounds, and began to suck the silver blood!

"Ah...... Yes! ”

A sharp pain slammed into Harry's head at this point, and he felt like his head was about to burst off, as if he had put a scar in a fire. Harry was so painful that his eyes were a little blurry, and naturally he couldn't control his mouth from roaring, unless he was deaf, he would definitely find them.

The shadow turned his head, looked over, then got up, hesitated, and a wand appeared in his hand.

In the horrified gazes of the three Harrys, a green light flashed.
