Chapter 53: The Hunt for Voldemort (Part I)

"Headmaster, it's been a lot of peace in the Forbidden Forest lately."

Hagrid carried his massive stone bow and a well-stocked quiver on his shoulder. Holding the lamp high at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, he pointed to a path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black forest.

"Look over there," Hagrid said.

"See that shiny thing on the ground? Silvery white? I found out before Fox reported to me, and it was unicorn blood. 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. ”

Dumbledore said, "This shows that he is indeed very weak, and he is even willing to pay a huge price to drink unicorn blood many times to maintain his condition." ”

Snape clenched his wand.

"Severus, you'd better stay here and wait for us."

Dumbledore said, "We're not much sure we'll be able to keep Voldemort here this time, and you can't expose it just yet." ”

The other three headmasters also nodded, they all knew Snape's former Death Eater status, and they also knew that Dumbledore's willingness to keep Snape had other meanings. If Voldemort can't be kept this time, then it is unnecessary to put Snape directly on the opposite side of him.

"Okay, I got it."

Snape bowed his head and stepped aside.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. 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.

Luo Cheng could see that Hagrid was a little anxious.

"Hagrid, it's alright, we've got Dumbledore."

Law became a sign that he also asked to hunt down Voldemort, and he followed Hagrid closely, followed by the other three Deans, and finally Dumbledore.

"I know." Hagrid sighed, "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about those poor unicorns. I'll just say, how can there be creatures in the Forbidden Forest that can hurt them......"

They walked past a mossy tree stump. The sound of running water could be heard here, and it was clear that there was a stream somewhere nearby. On the winding path, there are still speckled unicorn blood stains.

"That unicorn is badly injured and can't go very far - no, watch out!"

Hagrid drew an arrow, mounted it on a stone bow, and raised it to shoot. Several others also drew their wands and prepared for battle.

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

The thing walked into the clearing, and the man was a man above the waist, with red hair and a beard, but below the waist was a shiny brownish-red horse, with a long red tail dragging behind it.

"Oh, it was you, Ronan."

Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.

"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?"

"Be on your guard, Ronan," Hagrid said, patting his quiver, "there's a very bad guy in this forest running around, and we're looking for him. Oh, by the way, this is the new Hogwarts Professor Luo Cheng, and you already know the other professors. ”

"Hello, I'm Luo Cheng."

Luo Cheng made a brief self-introduction, the centaurs were very temperamental, he had no intention of saying that he was still the head of the centaur liaison office, and the centaurs were not appointed by the Ministry of Magic.

"Hello, I'm Ronan. Oh, and the three Deans, as well as Dumbledore, are here. ”

Ronan sighed. He tilted his head and stared at the sky.

"You're all here, no wonder Mars is bright tonight."

"In astronomy, Mars is bright and not a good sign, and we are here to solve a big problem."

Dumbledore said, "Hagrid told us that a unicorn has been attacked in the Forbidden Forest recently, and we found fresh unicorn blood on the way here, 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. ”
