Beneath the towering giant trees, on the mossy and leaf-covered paths, are littered with gray wolf corpses and unrecognizable ghouls.

The pungent stench and the smell of bloody blood blew down the faces of the three of them along the night wind.

Harry covered his nose with his sleeve and followed Hagrid closely, not daring to take a half step.

Draco cursed under his breath, foul language rarely used even by adults.

His handsome face contorted into a look of disgust, and he lowered his head to carefully observe the road ahead, trying to find clean ground free of blood and broken organs, lest his shoes accidentally step on the filth.

Suddenly, Hagrid stopped. He held the torch in one hand and stroked the tooth returning from front with the other, and as he looked at the tooth's expression, he began to whisper in disappointment.

"Is that all they smell of?"

"Wang!" Tooth gasped and responded again.

"Arthur... He's not going to be killed, is he?"

Harry looked at the corpses around him and said with some fear.

"Impossible! Arthur killed... Well, the one who subdues the adult dark wizard. There is no way to be killed! ”

Draco used the branch in his hand to pick out the severed hand of the ghoul who was blocking his path, and retorted disgruntled at Harry.

"If you hadn't insisted on saving that unicorn, we wouldn't have met a werewolf!"

"I agreed to let you go back. It's you who want to follow us! ”

Faced with Draco's complaints, Harry retorted angrily.

"I will definitely tell my father about this, you can wait and see!"

Draco pointed at Harry's nose, shuddering and screaming in exasperation.

"Alright, you two don't quarrel anymore! Malfoys boy, if you want to make any more noise, I'll leave you here now!" ”

Hagrid yelled at Draco, then raised his torch to take a closer look.

"Let's go... Let's go ahead and find out! ”

As he spoke, he patted Toothtooth on the back and told it to go ahead and look for Arthur and Pansy's scent.

Harry and Draco glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads to follow Hagrid silently.

"Who?!"

The sound of footsteps alerted Hagrid, who held the torch above his head, then pulled out his small umbrella and pointed it in the direction from which the sound came.

"It's me, Hagrid."

A handsome centaur with his fur reflecting silver in the light of the fire leapt in front of the three Hagrids.

"Ferenze! Did you find Arthur and Parkinson's? ”

Seeing that an acquaintance had arrived, Hagrid put away his vigilance, his face hidden by his thick beard revealing a look of concern.

Harry and Draco also looked expectantly when they saw the centaur who appeared in front of them, Ferenze, who had helped them say good things in front of the centaurs.

"Sorry, we didn't find any other human kids. Those werewolves aren't natives of the Forbidden Forest... They're powerful, they're evil... It took me and my compatriots a long time to besiege them. ”

"It's a pity that a black-robed wizard saved them... Some of our compatriots continue to chase them. I'm back to help you find the human child... I didn't expect you to be the first to find it. ”

Ferenze shook his silver ponytail and said with some regret.

"Is there a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest? It seems that this matter needs to be reported to Headmaster Dumbledore. ”

Hagrid heard that behind the werewolf attack on them this time, there was the shadow of a dark wizard, his eyes were like bull's eyes, and his thick eyebrows instantly exploded.

He gasped, his large, thick hands gripping the torch hard, and the wooden handle creaked under his great force.

The flickering flames shone on his face, making this usually honest half-giant like a fierce god crawling out of hell.

"Hagrid, the werewolves here have been driven away, but the awakened ghouls still roam the shadows."

"Are you going to send them out of the Forbidden Forest first, or are you going to look for your two students together?"

Ferenze the centaur looked at Hagrid's angry eyes, stepped on his hind hooves a few times, and began to ask Hagrid what he was going to do next.

“......”

Hagrid didn't speak, he turned around and looked down at Harry and Draco.

If it was him, he would not hesitate to go with Ferenze to find Arthur and Pansy immediately.

But what happened just now made Hagrid, who often didn't have a long memory, or didn't drink, had to pay attention to the safety of the two young wizards.

"Hagrid, I'm going to go with you to Arthur! We are friends, and I can't leave him alone to go back to the castle. ”

Hagrid didn't speak, but Harry had read the thought in his eyes.

Arthur and he are not from the same academy, but in the previous Potions class, Arthur had helped him.

Without Arthur's reminder, his cauldron would have exploded for his and Ron's carelessness, while also avoiding Professor Snape's reprimand.

Like the Gryffindor students, Harry hated the Slytherin students, but Arthur was an exception.

He didn't have the disgusting qualities of a Slytherin student, but rather a good student who had the strengths of both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and was incompatible with Slytherin.

"I'm also looking for Arthur and Pansy, they're my classmates! Slytherin students don't need Gryffindor's cowards to help. ”

Draco heard this, and immediately expressed his attitude. At the same time, he glanced at Harry with contemptuous eyes.

In fact, he couldn't stay even a second at this time, and he wanted to go back to the castle immediately, back to the Slytherin common room that reassured him.

But... Arthur hasn't found it yet!

He was the one who killed Uncle Yaxley, an experienced Auror who survived the Death Eaters when the Ministry of Magic cleared them out.

Draco believed that Arthur could not have been killed by these savage werewolves.

The reason why he made this decision to go with Hagrid and the others to find Arthur was very obvious.

is in front of Arthur, brush a wave of favorability. Let Arthur identify himself as his best friend.

Harry? Fuck off!

Are you worthy to be Arthur's friend? Hehe~

"You! Soul light! ”

Harry was furious when he heard Draco say that he was a Gryffindor coward, and he raised his arm and waved it at Draco's other eye.

He was indeed frightened by the werewolf just now, but why didn't you Draco?

"Ahh

Draco, who had been punched by Harry again, was in a daze. When he reacted, Harry's fist struck him in the face with a solid punch.

Feeling the smell of blood in his mouth, Draco let out a loud roar and lunged at Harry.

"Enough! If you two fight again, I'll get you out of here immediately. Malfoys boy, have you forgotten my warning? ”

Hagrid grabbed Draco by the back collar with his hand, holding him up against a pool of ghoul shards, staring viciously at the biting "chick".
