At this point, 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." ”

"The work done here is done by servants, not students. I thought we were writing and checking or something. If my father knew I was doing this, he would-"

"Tell you that's what Hogwarts is." 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.

For Liu Jiecao, Malfoy asked for it, if it weren't for the fact that this thing likes dragons very much, so he concealed the news and didn't report it directly, but secretly followed Harry and the others, and kept a quiet eye on Xiaolong, there would be no such thing as now.

If Malfoy had reported directly, not to the professors at school, but to his own father, then through his father's connections, Malfoy would not have been in the trouble he is in now, and he would have even made a meritorious service, which was completely different from the passive situation he is in now.

So, it was all Malfoy's own trouble.

Liu Jiecao never hated Malfoy, after all, he could still stand at school and Harry at the most critical time in the original plot. On Potter's side, this is enough to make it clear what it means to see truth in adversity, and what it means to be a true character.

However, Liu Jiecao has always expressed doubts about the IQ of this product, such as this time, the matter was completely too bad.

There are no ifs, reality is reality, and the fact now is that Malfoy is already here.

"Okay." Hagrid said. "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 gradually disappeared into the depths of the black forest. They looked into the Forbidden Forest, a breeze blowing in their hair.

"Look over there." Hagrid said, "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. Last Wednesday I found one dead. We're going to try to find that poor unicorn and free it from its misery. ”

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first?" Malfoy asked. There was unquenchable fear in his voice.

Liu Jiecao knew what Malfoy was afraid of, unicorns were usually not weak, at least stronger than trolls, and the guys who could hurt unicorns were obviously not ordinary.

"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, obviously. It's been stumbling around since at least last night. ”

Looking at these bloodstains, Liu Jiecao smiled mysteriously, he felt that he had really come to the right place. He wanted to start taking blood now, but it wasn't the time yet.

Not to mention that there are still so many people here, and Dumbledore has been watching Harry's situation through mysterious means, if he wants to take blood. At least he had to stay away from Harry to be possible.

"I want teeth." Malfoy looked at the long teeth and said busily.

"Okay. But let me warn you, it's a coward. "Well, then, me, Harry, and Liu Jiecao will go one way, and Malfoy, Neville, and Tooth will go the other." If anyone finds a unicorn, they shoot a green spark, 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 in until they reached a fork in the road, Harry, Liu, and Hagrid on the left, and Malfoy, Neville, 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.

It's really eye-catching, I want to take blood now, Liu Jiecao sighed in his heart.

Harry, on the other hand, could see that Hagrid looked anxious.

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

"It won't be that fast." "It's not easy to catch a unicorn, it's a very magical animal," Hagrid said. I've never heard of unicorns being hurt before. ”

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

"Are you alright, Liu Jiecao?" Hagrid asked in a low voice. "Don't worry, since it's so badly wounded, it's impossible to go very far, and we'll soon be able to- no, hide behind that tree!"

Of course Liu Jiecao is fine, he is just too excited to see the bloodstains.

However, Hagrid grabbed Harry and Liu Jiecao and carried them off the trail to hide behind a towering oak tree. He drew an arrow, mounted it on a stone bow, and raised it up to shoot.

The three of them listened attentively. Something swished and slid on the nearby leaves: the sound was like a cloak dragging on the ground. Hagrid squinted at the dark path, and after a few seconds, the sound faded away.

"I see," he muttered, "there's one thing that wasn't originally here. ”

"Werewolves?" Harry asked.

"Not a werewolf, not a unicorn." Hagrid affirmed, "Alright, come with me, be careful now." ”

Liu Jiecao looked in the direction where the mysterious man had disappeared, but he knew in his heart that it was Quirrell and Voldemort, and only the blood of the unicorn with strong life energy would help the weakened Voldemort a little.

Only a guy like Voldemort is not afraid of the curse of sucking unicorn blood.

They walked more slowly than they had just been, their ears pricked up. Capture even the most subtle sounds. Suddenly, in the clearing in front of them, they clearly saw something moving.

"Who's there?" Hagrid shouted, "Get out of here - I've got a weapon!" ”

The thing stepped into the clearing—was it a man, or a horse? Above the waist was a man, with red hair and a beard, but below the waist was a shiny brownish-red horse with a long red tail dragging behind it.

Harry's mouth opened wide in surprise, but Liu Jiecao was very calmly thinking about how to start with the hair and blood of this product.

"Oh, it turned out to be you. Ronan. Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you?" ”

He stepped forward and shook the horseman's hand.

"Good evening, Hagrid." Ronan said. His voice was low and sad. "You want to shoot me with a bow and arrow?"

"Gotta be vigilant, Ronan." Hagrid said, patting his quiver, "There's a bad guy in this forest. Oh, yes. This is Harry. Porter and Liu Jiecao were students at the school above. Let me introduce you two to Ronan, a centaur. ”

Harry didn't speak.

And Liu Jiecao didn't either. He actually thought maliciously that it would be nice if this thing met Voldemort.

"Good evening." Ronan said, "You're students? Did you learn a lot in school? ”

"Hmm-" Harry nodded.

Liu Jiecao also nodded, but did not speak.

"Good. That's pretty good. Ronan sighed. He tilted his head and stared at the sky.

"Mars is bright tonight."

"yes." Hagrid said, glancing up at the sky as well. "Listen to me, Ronan, I'm glad we met you, because one of the unicorns was injured - did you see anything?"

Ronan didn't answer right away. He stared up without blinking, then sighed.

"It's always the innocent who suffer first." "It's been that way for hundreds of years, and it's still happens," he said. ”

"yes." Hagrid said, "But do you see anything, Ronan?" What do you see? ”

"Mars is bright tonight." Ronan repeated, and Hagrid looked at him impatiently.

"Unusually bright." Ronan said.

"Yes, but I mean, there's nothing out of the ordinary near our house." Hagrid said, "Didn't you notice some strange movements? ”

Ronan still didn't answer.

Finally, he said, "There are many secrets hidden in the forest. ”

There was a sudden movement in the bushes behind Ronan, and Hagrid raised his stone bow again, and it turned out to be only a second centaur, with black hair and a black body, looking a little rougher than Ronan.

"Hello, Bane." Hagrid said, "How are you doing?" "Good evening, Hagrid, I hope you're doing well."

"It's okay. Look, I was asking Ronan if you've seen anything weird here lately? One of the unicorns was injured - do you know something? ”

Bane walked over and stood beside Ronan, looking up at the sky. "Mars is bright tonight." That's what he said.

Liu Jiecao's heart was also very bright, he knew what the centaurs did know through the stars, and tonight was indeed an important fateful day. Potter's first confrontation with Lord Voldemort.

"We've heard it before." Hagrid said irritably, "Well, if any of you see something, come and tell me, okay?" So let's go. ”

Harry and Liu Jiecao followed him out of the clearing, turning their heads to look at Ronan and Bane until the trees blocked their view.

"Alas, there is always no straightforward answer from the centaurs." Hagrid said annoyedly, "It's annoying to always look up at the stars." They are not interested in anything but what surrounds the moon. ”

"Are there a lot of centaurs here?" Liu Jiecao asked the question on behalf of Hermione, who was supposed to be here, but in fact he didn't have anything to say, and he still hadn't given up his interest in the materials on the centaurs.

"Oh, there are a few...... Most of them stay with their own kind, but they have a good eye and always show up whenever I want to talk to them. These centaurs are esoteric...... They know many things...... But he is always tight-lipped about it. ”

Liu Jiecao said secretly: "That's nature, few people who reveal their fate have a good end." The centaurs are smart, and they know what they know, but they don't say anything they shouldn't say at all. ”

"You say, could the movement we heard earlier be a centaur too?" Harry asked.

"Do you think it's like the sound of horses' hooves? If you ask me, I don't think so, it's the guy who killed the unicorn -- the kind of sound I've never heard before. ”

They continued to weave their way through the dense, pitch-black woods. Harry always looked nervously. He had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if someone was watching them. He was glad to have Hagrid and his stone bow with them.

In fact, there were indeed people watching, not only Dumbledore, but also Voldemort hiding in the shadows, and even the centaurs were keeping an eye on Harry.

However, as soon as he turned a corner on the path, Liu Jiecao suddenly raised his head and said, "Hagrid! Look! Red sparks, 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.

Opportunity, this is a good opportunity, Liu Jiecao They followed the blood trail of the unicorn, and they were actually very close to Quirrell, Voldemort and the unicorn.

Now that Hagrid is gone, Liu Jiecao also took advantage of Harry's back and took out tools to collect the blood of the unicorns on the ground, which has not yet been completely killed, and even if it is killed, it still has value.

Harry stood there, terrified. He didn't even notice Liu Jiecao's action of collecting the unicorn's blood.

Gradually, Hagrid walked away, and all they could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind. Time passed slowly, minute by minute. Their ears seem to be much sharper than usual.

Harry could capture every sigh of the wind, and every branch breaking. What happened? Where are the others? Finally, with a loud crunch, they knew it was Hagrid back, and Malfoy, Neville, and Toothtooth were with him. Hagrid was furious.

Here's what it seems: Malfoy did a prank. He sneaked up behind Neville and hugged him. Neville was horrified and fired red sparks.

"You two have made such a big fuss, and now it's all up to luck for us to catch that thing. All right. Let's change the team - Neville, you are with me and Liu Jiecao. Harry, you and Toothtooth, and this idiot group. I'm sorry," Hagrid whispered to Harry again, "but it's not that easy for him to scare you, so we'd better get it done." (To be continued......)
