Hearing Hagrid's voice, the quartet's pace quickened.

Harry's heart was beaming, and it wasn't too bad if they were going to work with Hagrid.

Ron whispered a prayer that he wouldn't be in Hagrid's cabin today to help him kill chickens.

Harry thought the same thing, and muttered to Ron, "It's good to kill chickens, but don't make rock skin cakes." ”

The other three who heard Harry's words burst out laughing.

Rig felt Hermione's hands shake and look happy.

The boy's air was full of joy.

Malfoy couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was better to laugh like that than to listen to strange screams.

As a result, Malfoy's chest also straightened, and he no longer looked a little cowering before.

Filch, who was scolded and almost beaten by the righteous group along the way, can't see this.

I only heard Filch smack his lips and say with an unhappy face, "You probably thought you were going to have a good time with that tall idiot for a while, right?" Guess where you're going? ”

Hagrid had already told him what he was going to do today.

The punishment of confinement was not to make students sit comfortably in the room and drink tea with Hagrid.

Filch was quiet for a moment, enjoying Ron's horrified gaze.

Only then did he say in a long voice.

"You're going to forbid—the forest—no one will come out unharmed."

Ron shuddered, and Malfoy stopped abruptly.

"Forbidden Forest?" He followed suit, his voice far less calm than usual.

His face, which had just been ruddy, turned pale again, and Rig saw his eyes flickering and wandering.

"We can't go in in the middle of the night! Listen to the cries along the way, I heard there are werewolves! ”

Ron gasped, it was much more terrifying than killing chickens.

"You're only to blame, aren't you?"

Filch said, his voice cheerful, "You should have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble, didn't you?" ”

Malfoy was reluctant to move forward.

Rig and Harry whispered to comfort Ron and cheer him up.

As for Malfoy, although the relationship is okay now, it is still a bit awkward.

Rig could only pull him and let him stand up.

Malfoy looked more surprised than he heard they were going to the Forbidden Forest, and his eyes widened.

Rig turned to Harry and said, "Think Hagrid, he won't give us any trouble. ”

Harry, they began to build themselves up, Hermione muttered about what she had seen.

Ron and Malfoy, who heard Hermione muttering something, were even more frightened.

At this moment, Hagrid, who couldn't wait, strode towards them from the darkness.

I've seen many times that the enthusiastic big dog followed him with his tail flicking.

Hagrid carried his massive stone bow and a well-stocked quiver on his shoulder.

"It's almost time," he said, "I've been waiting for half an hour, so let's go." ”

Hagrid and Rig nodded.

The foursome also added Malfoy, and the dragon raising group was all together again.

This reminded Hagrid of his Noble.

Hagrid's small, swarthy eyes moistened with the fluffy beard hair.

Raising his big hand and rubbing his eyes, Hagrid said, "Filch, you go, I'll take them over." ”

"They shouldn't be so polite, Hagrid," Filch said coldly, "after all, they're here to be punished. ”

"So you're late, aren't you?"

Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, "I've been teaching them a lesson, huh?" ”

Ron turned his fear into anger, glaring at Filch and complaining loudly as Hagrid complained.

Hagrid listened for a moment, and Filch was really the same.

"This is not the place for you to teach. Your task is accomplished, and from now on I am responsible. ”

"I'll be back at dawn," Filch said, "to clean up their wreckage." ”

He said viciously.

Then he turned and walked towards the castle, and the lamp staggered and disappeared into the darkness.

Malfoy then turned to Hagrid and said pleadingly, "I'm not going into the Forbidden Forest. ”

"But this is Professor McGonagall's punishment for confinement." Hagrid also said with some hesitation, "You did 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. My dad said ......"

Malfoy was so scared that he had said the wrong thing.

He's changed his opinion of Hagrid as a big man, and he shouldn't say that about Hagrid.

"Your dad told you that's how Hogwarts is?"

Hagrid said a little sadly, "Think of Professor McGonagall. 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 hung his head.

"Well," said Hagrid, "now listen carefully, what we have to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want to put anyone in danger. Come with me first. ”

Hagrid sighed.

Malfoy's words made him sad, but he couldn't be put in danger.

He led the five men to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid held the lamp high and pointed to a path that was fading into the depths of the black forest.

They looked into the Forbidden Forest, and a cold wind blew in their hair.

I heard the cries of countless unknown animals again.

Today's Forbidden Forest is restless.

"Look over there," said Hagrid, "do you see that shining thing on the ground?" Silvery white? That's the blood of a unicorn. ”

Rig's eyes froze, and he remembered.

This trip to the Forbidden Forest will meet the weakened Voldemort.

Hagrid continued, "One of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest was wounded by something, and it was badly wounded. 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, he never thought he would be hurt in Hogwarts.

Even Lucius Malfoy believes that Hogwarts is one of the safest places in the world.

Because Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard in the world, guards this place.

"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, and apparently, it had been stumbling around since at least last night. ”

"Do you have to separate? Then I'm with you. ”

Malfoy asked reluctantly, he had long known he was a coward.

The boys discussed.

Eventually, Rig, Harry, and Toothtooth go together to find the bloodstains.

Ron and Hermione were with Hagrid.

Hermione's pleading eyes didn't change Rig's mind.

Rig thought to himself, if he met Voldemort......

Hagrid, seeing that they had made up his mind, pulled Hermione over and let the only girl follow him.

"So, me, Malfoy, Ron, and Hermione go one way, and Rig, you and Harry and Tooth go the other way. If anyone finds a unicorn, they shoot a green spark, understand? Take out your wands and practice."

Ron stammered a spell, a wisp of gray smoke coming out of his wand's head.

Hermione pressed her hand to her face and couldn't bear to look at it, and Malfoy laughed loudly at Ron.

Bullying others gives him courage.

"If anyone is in trouble, shoot a red spark and we'll all come to you."

Hagrid told Rig seriously: "Be careful, let's go." ”

The Forbidden Forest, which was dark and dark, and the Forbidden Forest, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent.

Hagrid led them a little further inside until they reached a fork in the road. 、

Hagrid's team took the left lane, and Rig, Harry, and Toothtooth took the right lane.

They parted at the intersection.
