Magic Journey from Hogwarts
Chapter 62 There Are Unknown Enemies
The Forbidden Forest is composed of countless towering giant trees and various plants. The thin mist in the night makes it look even more gloomy, especially the howling of wolves from a distance from time to time makes several people feel uneasy.
Hagrid took the lead, and he led several people along a path into the forest, heading deep.
Aaron was very glad that he rented a lamp, otherwise he might not even be able to see the road clearly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hagrid frowned when he saw a puddle of viscous silver liquid on the ground in front of him.
"What's this?" Harry asked.
"Unicorn blood, I've seen it before." Aaron knelt down and rubbed it with his fingers, "The blood is very fresh, and the preliminary judgment is that he was seriously injured."
"He's right, a unicorn died a few weeks ago.
The state of death was particularly miserable, and half of the blood in his body was almost drained.
This is the second head, all we have to do is find the poor guy and protect it. "
"It's not easy." Aaron thought for a while and said meaningfully: "This forest is very dangerous now, and I'm afraid it's not just animals and plants.
I suggest punishing us at another time, preferably during the day. "
"Yeah! It's convenient during the day, and you don't need to carry a lamp." Hagrid said, "But the unicorn can't wait that long. One night is enough to change its state from serious injury to death."
"But I don't think we five wizards are any less safe than a unicorn."
Draco's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing, "What do you mean? Don't scare me!"
"Calm down, at least we are safe now." Aaron patted him on the shoulder and explained: "Unicorns are noble, and under normal circumstances this forest will not harm it, and even some creatures will protect it.
But according to Hagrid, one of them had already died, and the second one was in a rather poor condition.
It's too abnormal for two unicorns to be attacked in a short period of time. "
"That's why we came here." Hagrid took it for granted, "That unicorn needs our help, so please be more sympathetic."
The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched, "No one is more loving than me.
But the situation is different now, there must be alien creatures in the Forbidden Forest, the strength is not weak, no one knows whether he will attack us or not. "
"How do you know?" Harry asked, "It's all speculation, and we're following Hagrid, so we're safe."
Aaron pointed to the silver blood on the ground, "The blood of unicorns can prolong life, and before this, there should have been no unicorns being attacked or even killed one after another in the Forbidden Forest!
When things go wrong, it means that something is out of control, and the unknown is the most terrifying. "
After the voice fell, the faces of several people were a little unnatural.
They admitted that they were frightened, and it was not difficult for them to guess from Aaron's words who was hunting the unicorn for its blood.
And those who can be so arrogant in the Forbidden Forest are definitely not ordinary people. If they meet, they will not be opponents.
"Hagrid." Ron looked at him pleadingly, "Can we exit this forest, anyway, there are only a few of us here, if you don't tell us, no one will know."
"No, if you say confinement, it is confinement.
Professor McGonagall has already scolded me because of Norbert's affairs, and Dumbledore was also caught off guard and flustered.
I also want face, and I can no longer favoritism. "
Ron lowered his head bitterly, and the others also had heavy faces, knowing that they couldn't escape this time.
"Don't worry too much, maybe it's a unicorn attacked by a werewolf!"
"A werewolf?
This is even worse, today's moon is still very round, and the werewolf's fighting power will be even more violent. "Draco took a step back subconsciously, his back felt a little chilly.
He originally thought that confinement meant being locked up in a small dark room to write and inspect, but this confinement was completely beyond his expectations.
It is outrageous enough that the small black room has turned into a forbidden forest, but now writing an inspection has become a search for a seriously injured and dying unicorn, and it may be attacked in the process, which is even more outrageous.
It is unacceptable, and instinctively wants to resist.
"Okay! I know what we're going to do tonight will be dangerous, and I don't want to put anyone in danger.
But this is your punishment in the first place, and you can't escape it. "
"The problem is that this time the danger is unknown."
Hagrid froze for a moment, then stared at Aaron seriously, "If everything is already known, what do we need?
The Forbidden Forest is already very dangerous. Didn't Filch say he would collect your corpses?You don't think he's joking, do you?
In addition, even if there are unknown creatures, I can guarantee that they will not be more dangerous than the dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest. "
"Okay!" Aaron spread his hands helplessly, "You are right, we asked for this."
Hearing this, Hermione looked frustrated and subconsciously bit her lip.
If she hadn't kidnapped Abe, Draco wouldn't have found out, Aaron wouldn't have violated the school rules, and they wouldn't have been caught by Filch and Professor McGonagall.
In the final analysis, she has to bear a large part of the responsibility for them to have today.
"As long as you know.
Now we split into two groups to find, along the blood trail. "
"Wait, we still need to divide into groups?" Draco asked in surprise, "Don't you tell me that Gryffindor is a group and Slytherin is a group?
It's not fair, there are twice as many of you as we are, and we'd be in danger. "
"I didn't say that.
As long as you stay with me or Fang, the creatures of the Forbidden Forest will not harm you.
And I'm being fair, you, Ron, Harry with me, Hermione, Aaron, Fang. Hagrid blinked at Hermione as he spoke, and quietly made an OK gesture by the way.
The opportunity is given to you, it is up to you whether you can seize it or not.
Hermione cast a grateful look and nodded heavily.
I didn't have time yesterday, but today I have plenty of time. Anyway, I have to apologize first.
"I don't agree." Aaron said, "This group makes people feel particularly awkward, I suggest changing the group.
What happened last night made me very unhappy, and it was not easy to let go.
If Hermione and I form a team, it may affect the unity within the team, which is very detrimental. "
"Eh..." Hagrid paused, glanced at Hermione whose eyes were slightly red, took a deep breath and said, "Rejected, the objection is invalid.
I am in charge of your confinement, and you must obey me. "
"Oh! Hagrid, what you're doing now will only make me suspect that you have ulterior motives.
I thought you were a just man!Now it seems that I was wrong. "
"I..." Hagrid hesitated, his heart at war with heaven and man.
He did have a little selfishness in arranging Hermione and Aaron together, and wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between them.
After all, he was only a 12-year-old child, so he couldn't say anything clearly.
As long as Hermione apologizes sincerely, the relationship will slowly recover after a while, and Aaron doesn't seem to be such a grudge.
But now there is an extra hat called 'Justice' on his head, and this hat has a tendency to fly away, which makes him very uncomfortable.
"The team formation between you and Hermione was decided by me, if you think it's unfair, I can assign you another person.
This is already the limit. "
Aaron didn't raise any objections. Hagrid had already talked about this point, so he had to be more sensible and give the other party a face.
"Ron, it's definitely not possible." Aaron glanced at him with some disgust, and then set his sights on Harry Potter. "It's too troublesome. I have a hunch that it will be particularly troublesome to form a team with you."
"Then there is no choice." Draco laughed, "Sure enough, Slytherin is trustworthy."
"No, don't think too much, there are actually other options." Aaron poured a basin of cold water on him, "Hagrid, you and Fang should change!"
"Me?" Hagrid froze for a moment, then immediately waved his hands and said, "This is not allowed, absolutely not.
With the abilities of the three of them, the danger level will be greatly increased without me.
Still Malfoy!He is more suitable for your team. "
"This... is okay, it's better than the other two."
The corners of Draco's eyes twitched slightly, and he somehow felt as if he had been rejected.
"Okay, next, we will divide into two groups.
Shoot green sparks if anyone finds the unicorn, and red sparks if they're in trouble.
We'll come over to meet up right away, okay, be careful! "
After Hagrid finished speaking, he took Harry and Ron to the left path, leaving the right path to Aaron, Hermione and Draco.
"Huh!" Aaron took a deep breath, put Abe on top of his head, and then looked at Hermione and Draco, "Listen to my command tonight, do you have any objections?"
"No, I'm definitely listening to you." Draco patted his chest and said, Aaron was better than him in all aspects, and he was not unconvinced.
"I, I listen to you too." Hermione said immediately.
"You?" Draco looked at her suspiciously, "It would be nice if you ran away without leaving us alone when you encountered danger."
"I won't, definitely not."
"Who knows?"
"Enough, that's why I don't want to be grouped, it's too much trouble.
What do you two have to say back, now that we are in the Forbidden Forest, can we keep a low profile? "
Hermione and Draco looked at each other and closed their mouths in unison.
"now it's right.
Listen to me now, check your shoes, and fasten those with laces. "Aaron said and squatted down to tie his shoelaces to death.
Hermione didn't talk nonsense and just followed suit.
Draco was a little puzzled, "Tie your shoelaces? Can you tell me why?"
"It's convenient to escape, you don't really think that the dog Yaya will be all right here!"
Hagrid took the lead, and he led several people along a path into the forest, heading deep.
Aaron was very glad that he rented a lamp, otherwise he might not even be able to see the road clearly.
