The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent, and the moonlight poured down from the branches above, like shattered crystals, sprinkled with silvery-white debris on the fallen leaves.

Not long after leaving, Kyle suddenly noticed that the surroundings were somewhat familiar.

Not far away, a group of moon beasts were staring at them curiously through the trees with wide eyes.

At this time, Hagrid suddenly spoke, "In addition to the unicorn cubs, there are also a lot fewer moon idiots here. ”

Kyle panicked, but on the surface he quietly asked, "Are we going to look for them today?" ”

"No, you don't." Hagrid shook his head and said, "Since the other Moon Idiots here are nothing out of the ordinary, I think they may have gone to the woodlands to the south, where there is a larger group of Moon Beasts. ”

"That's right...... That's good. ”

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and followed Hagrid further into the Forbidden Forest.

However, before leaving, he also took out a large handful of white fresh leaves and threw them nearby, which was regarded as an additional meal for the moon idiot beasts.

Hagrid had seen Kyle's movements, too, but he was now preoccupied with the stolen unicorn cub, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just as Kyle had grown it himself.

The further the two walked forward, the more anxious Hagrid's expression became.

Kyle looked at him and thought for a moment, "Could it be that some other animal stole the unicorn cubs?" ”

"Impossible." "Unicorns are very attentive to their cubs, and this animal has a lot of magic, and even a fire dragon can't easily approach and take their cubs without intrigue," Hagrid said. ”

They walked through a woodland overgrown with moss and mushrooms to a meandering stream.

"Whew......" Tooth suddenly howled.

In the silence of the Forbidden Forest, the shrill barking of dogs was particularly piercing.

"Yaya, did you find anything?"

Hagrid hurried over, drawing an arrow and loading it on his crossbow, ready to shoot.

Yaya sat there, tapping his forepaw on a nearby twig with a palm-sized black rag hanging from it.

"Well done, well done!"

Hagrid took the rag, rubbed it lightly twice in his hand, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"Rough to the touch...... And this special taste. Hagrid muttered, "I see, someone from outside has been to the Forbidden Forest." ”

"Isn't this just an ordinary rag?" Kyle asked.

"No, it's not." "The material of this cloth is a special rattan type, the texture is coarse, the clothes made from it are very uncomfortable, and the only advantage is that it is tough and wear-resistant.

Therefore, it is only worn by those Aurors who need to be away on missions for a long time, as well as those who raise dragons. ”

The rag was the first clue they found.

Hagrid tried for Toothtooth to find the person based on the smell, but Toothtooth just circled around and then went back to where he was.

Hagrid looked disappointed.

The two of them continued along the creek, carefully searching for something nearby.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by.

"Who's there!" Hagrid raised his crossbow in front of Kyle and shouted, "Come out, I see you." ”

"Boom ......"

With the sound of horses' hooves, a half-human, half-horse creature stepped into the clearing.

Above the waist is a man, with red hair and a beard, but below the waist is a brownish-red horse, with a long red tail dragging behind it.

"Oh, it was you, Ronan." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you?" ”

He stepped forward and shook the horseman's hand.

"Good evening, Hagrid." Ronan's voice was low and sad, "You want to shoot me with an arrow?" ”

"Just in case, Ronan." Hagrid patted his quiver, "There's a little wizard here, and I have to keep him safe."

Oh, by the way, this is Kyle Chopper, a Hogwarts student. ”

Then he said to Kyle, "This is Ronan, a centaur." ”

Kyle's interest instantly waned when he saw that it was a male centaur, but out of politeness, he nodded and said, "Hello." ”

Ronan glanced at Kyle carefully, then put his arm on his shoulder, and bent his front leg slightly, "Good evening, nice to meet you." ”

Kyle was a little confused, he always felt that something was wrong with this centaur, and the other party was acting a little too formal.

Centaurs are arrogant, and in general, they nod their heads at strangers rather than just ...... Bend over and bend your legs.

That's Dumbledore's treatment.

"Ronan, it's a pleasure to meet you here." Hagrid put away the crossbow and said, "A unicorn cub was stolen, did you see anything?" ”

Ronan didn't answer right away, his eyes staring at the sky without blinking.

"Don't worry." "Mars is normal tonight," he said. ”

"yes, like any other time." Hagrid looked up perfunctorily and continued, "But did you see anything, Ronan, anything unusual, or a stranger or something. ”

"You're a little weird." Ronan said inexplicably.

"I'm fine!" Hagrid was a little impatient, "I mean, have you seen anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Come with me." Ronan glanced at them, then turned and walked into a low grove of trees.

Hagrid and Kyle hurriedly followed.

They made their way through the bushes and stopped in front of a stout tree, where Ronan was gone.

"It's strange that he's going to show us the way." Hagrid looked left and right and whispered, "These centaurs know a lot of things, but they are always tight-lipped to me, I used to think that they were not interested in anything but what is around the moon." ”

At this time, Yaya suddenly jumped out and lay under the tree and screamed.

"Did you find out so soon?"

Hagrid and Kyle hurriedly followed.

Where the tooth was, there was a vacant piece in the trunk of the tree, which looked like a bite of bread, and there were very obvious signs of corrosion at the edges.

Hagrid leaned over, touched his chin and said, "This must be some kind of evil black magic." ”

Kyle couldn't see the gap due to his height, so he spun around.

This tree is really big, about five meters in diameter, even in the Forbidden Forest, a tree of this size is very rare.

Compared to it, the surrounding plants seemed to be malnourished, small and short, and Kyle didn't even need to walk past them, just a cursory glance at them.
