Al and Hermione followed Filch and them through the pitch-black field towards the Forbidden Forest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the invisibility cloak, Hermione whispered to Al, "Is what Filch said true? Did Hogwarts really punish students in that way before? I never saw it in the book "Hogwarts, A School History". ”

Al frowned, and said uncertainly: "I don't know about this, but this is not a glorious thing after all, and it is normal that it is not written in the book, and it should not be wrong to see Filch's sworn appearance." ”

The moonlight was bright, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, plunging them into darkness from time to time.

The group was getting closer and closer to the Forbidden Forest, and Al could even see the lighted windows in Hagrid's hut.

A shout came from afar, Hagrid's.

"Is that you, Filch? Hurry up, I'm leaving!"

Both Al and Harry had relieved expressions on their faces, it wouldn't be too bad if tonight's confinement was working with Hagrid.

Filch apparently saw Harry's thoughts, and he snorted coldly and said, "You probably thought you'd have some fun with that idiot, think about it, boy...... You're going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out unharmed, even if I'm wrong!"

Hearing Filch's words, Neville couldn't help but let out an 'ah', and Malfoy stopped abruptly.

"Forbidden Forest?" Malfoy added, 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 that there are werewolves as well. ”

Neville clutched Harry's sleeve and let out a choked sob.

"You're to blame, aren't you?" said Filch, in a cheerful tone, "You should have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble." ”

Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, carrying a great stone bow, a full quiver on his shoulder, and his fangs following him.

"It's almost time. Hagrid said, "I've been waiting for half an hour, how's it going, Harry?"

"You shouldn't have been so polite to him, Hagrid. "After all, they're here to be punished." ”

"That's why you're late, aren't you?" Hagrid said, frowning at Filch, "I've been teaching them, eh? This is not the place for you to teach people, your mission has been accomplished, and I'll be in charge from now on." ”

"I'll be back at dawn. Filch said, "Come and pick up their wreckage." ”

Filch snapped, then turned and walked towards the castle, the lamp staggering into the darkness.

Malfoy turned to Hagrid.

"I don't go into that forbidden forest. There was 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 you'll have to pay now." ”

"It's a maid's errand here, not a student's job, I thought we would write and check at most, if my father knew I was doing this, he would ......"

"I'm telling you, that's what Hogwarts is all about!" Hagrid interrupted Malfoy rudely, and said, "Write check! What's in it for you? You have to do something useful, or if you don't get in, you're going to get out!"

Malfoy didn't move, he looked at Hagrid angrily, but quickly lowered his gaze again.

Hermione covered her mouth and snickered, she was happy to see Malfoy deflated.

Toothtooth seemed to have spotted the El, and it came to them, sniffing something with its nose, as if it was strange that there was nothing here, but there was a familiar smell.

"Now you're all listening. Hagrid said to Harry and the three of them, "What we're going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want to put anyone in danger, so come with me first." ”

Hagrid led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, held the lamp aloft in the air, and pointed to a path that was fading into the depths of the black forest.

Al looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and a breeze blew, and it was pitch black and terrifying.

"Look over there. Hagrid pointed to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and said, "Do you see something shining on the ground? It's the silver-white thing, it's the blood of a unicorn." ”

"One of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something, very badly. It's the second time in a week, and last Wednesday I found one dead, and we're going to try to find the poor unicorn and get it out of pain. ”

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us?" asked Malfoy, his voice filled with irrepressible fear.

"As long as you're with me or with Toothtooth, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you. Hagrid instructed, "Don't leave the path, for now we're going to split up and follow the bloodstains for clues." ”

"I want my teeth to follow me. Malfoy looked at his long teeth, and said busily.

Malfoy thought that the mighty-looking hound would give him a sense of security, but apparently, he had guessed wrong......

"Okay, but I'll warn you, it's a coward. "So, I'll go one way with Harry, and Malfoy and Neville will go the other way with Tooth, and if anyone finds a unicorn, they'll shoot a green spark, and if anyone gets in trouble, they'll shoot a red spark, understand?"

There was silence in the Forbidden Forest, and at the fork in the road, Hagrid and Harry took the left road, while Malfoy, Neville, and Toothtooth took the right road.

Al and Hermione followed closely as they reached Hagrid and Harry, and took off their invisibility cloaks.

"It's you!" Hagrid and Harry were really startled when they saw Al and Hermione suddenly appear, Hagrid patted his chest to calm his emotions, and he said, "Why are you here?"

"We didn't worry about Harry, so we planned to come and have a look. Hermione said.

"Don't talk about that. Al waved his hand, he looked at the blood on the ground, and asked suspiciously, "Is it possible that the werewolf did this?" ”

Hagrid shook his head, and he said, "It won't be a werewolf, you must know that it is not easy to catch a unicorn, they are such animals with strong magic, I have never heard of a unicorn being hurt before." ”

They walked past a mossy stump and could hear the murmuring of water, apparently a stream somewhere nearby.
