At night, the moon and stars are sparse and the breeze is cool.

Harry and Ron Hermione stood beside Hagrid's massive body, the swarthy entrance to the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was fully armed, carrying a crossbow on his back, dragonskin gloves on his hands, and a quiver at his waist.

Originally, Harry was still a little worried, but when he saw Hagrid, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily:

"Since it's with Hagrid, there's nothing to worry about."

Behind them, Filch said in a gloomy voice:

"Good luck, boys. If you can come out of the Forbidden Forest unharmed, even if I was wrong. ”

Looking at him like that, I'm afraid I wish Harry and the three of them died in the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid glanced at him, slapped him like a fan, and said impatiently:

"Don't bother you, Filch. Let's go back. ”

"Before you get into trouble, you should think of the things in the Forbidden Forest, like werewolves, don't you?"

Filch smiled happily and turned and walked back to the castle.

Harry's bodies trembled uncontrollably, but they heard Hagrid say in a muffled voice:

"Don't listen to him. Werewolves don't live in the Forbidden Forest, where there is no room for them to survive. Let's go. ”

Hagrid said, taking the lead into the Forbidden Forest.

"Where do werewolves live?"

Hermione asked timidly as she glanced timidly at the Forbidden Forest, followed in Haigrid's footsteps.

"Junkyard dumps, sewers, tumbledown alleys, or anything else in the dark......"

Hagrid pondered for a moment, then replied, "You know, werewolves have a terrible reputation in the wizarding world, and they have to hide as much as possible to keep themselves as hidden. ”

After the initial scare, Harry and Ron soon observed the Forbidden Forest with great interest, and developed a strong curiosity about this mysterious place.

George and Fred often boasted to them about how thrilling and exciting the Forbidden Forest was, and they listened with fear and yearning. Today I finally have the opportunity to see it for myself.

Holding a lamp, Hagrid led them down a path that gradually faded into the depths of the black forest. They looked into the Forbidden Forest, a breeze blowing in their hair.

"Listen to me, what we're going to do tonight is dangerous. I don't want to see anyone out of my sight. ”

Hagrid clapped his hands, swept over the three of them with some serious eyes, and said,

"Look over there, and see that shining thing on the ground? Silvery-white, that's the blood of a unicorn. ”

"Unicorn blood?"

Hermione, who was often out of the library, opened her mouth in surprise and said incredulously, "They...... Hurt? Who would have the heart to hurt such a magical creature? ”

"Then who knows."

Hagrid gritted his teeth and said, "One of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest has been injured by something, and it hurts badly. 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 get it out of pain. ”

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first?"

Ron asked with some trepidation, biting his fingers.

"As long as you're with me or Toothtooth, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you."

Hagrid said confidently and patted Ron on the shoulder, "Be brave, Ron!" George and Fred, though a little naughty, were as brave as the adult Weasleys. ”

"That's why mom sends them the most yelling letters......"

"The four of us, let's act together to avoid accidents."

Tooth walked vigilantly to the front, and Hagrid looked at the number of people and said uneasily.

They walked silently, their eyes fixed on the ground. From time to time, moonlight shone through the branches above.

"Hey, why are there so many trees missing over there? There are also burnt marks. ”

Ron's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt as if he had found some clue, and pointed to a forest in the distance.

A wave of humiliation and anger welled up on Hagrid's face, and he said in annoyance, "That was last year when someone broke into and a fight broke out here. ”

And because he was poisoned, he lay in the school hospital for several days.

He didn't have the face to tell Harry about it, though, and after a vague fork of the subject, they moved on.

They walked past a mossy tree stump, Harry could hear the murmuring of water, and it was clear that there was a small stream somewhere nearby.

On the winding and rugged path, there are speckled spots of unicorn blood.

"Are you alright, Hagrid?"

Hermione looked at Hagrid's increasingly anxious face and whispered comforting, "Don't worry, it's so badly injured that it can't go very far, we'll be able to-"

"Oh no, hide behind that tree!"

Hermione's words were abruptly interrupted by Hagrid's urgent voice. He grabbed Hermione and quickly left the path, hiding behind a towering tree. Harry and Ron were startled and hurriedly whispered to follow.

Hagrid drew an arrow and placed it on the crossbow and held it up for fire.

The three of them didn't dare to breathe, and listened carefully.

Something seemed to squash over the nearby leaves, and 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.

Vigilant, they continued to walk, but much slower than before, pricking up their ears to catch the slightest sound. Suddenly, in the clearing in front of them, they clearly saw something moving.

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

A horseman stepped out, and Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's you, Ronan. Are you okay? ”

The three Harry looked at the centaur in amazement and opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"Good evening, Hagrid." Ronan said, "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 Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, the freshmen of Hogwarts. This is Ronan, a centaur. ”

Hagrid helped the group make introductions, and Hermione whispered, "We've noticed." ”

"Hello." Ronan stared at them for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Hagrid, you shouldn't have brought the freshmen to the Forbidden Forest. Last year's events cost the Centaur tribe a lot...... And tonight, Mars is even brighter than last year. ”

"yes." Hagrid said, looking 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, his eyes stared upwards without blinking, and he sighed and said:

"It is always the innocent who suffer first. Mars is bright and unusually bright tonight. ”
