The days at Hogwarts

"All right," said Hagrid, "now listen carefully. What we are doing tonight is very dangerous. Don't do anything unnecessary."

Hagrid led a few people to a hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, asked them to wait outside, and went into the house himself.

Everyone else looked around the Forbidden Forest curiously, but Hermione saw through the crack in the door that Hagrid had a huge crossbow and a full quiver of arrows on his back. Most importantly, there was a familiar box next to the table.

That's Loren's box!

Hermione looked delighted but kept silent. She grabbed Loren's sleeve and pointed it out to him.

Lauren saw the box and exchanged glances with Hermione, showing the same joy. He guessed that Charlie's friends must have taken Norbert away and the box was returned to Hagrid.

Hagrid came out fully armed, asked Fang to lead the way, and led a few people deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

Harry noticed that Hagrid had a small pink umbrella on his waist under his leather jacket, and he thought that he might know one of Hagrid's little secrets.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent.

Hagrid stopped at a fork in the road, pointed to a patch of light on the grass and said, "Look over there. Do you see that shiny thing on the ground? It's silvery white. That's unicorn blood."

"This is a special situation, so your work will be different from usual."

"A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something and was seriously injured. Another unicorn died last week. We must try to find this poor unicorn and save it."

"This path is my patrol route, and it's generally safe. Okay, now let's split into two groups and search along the blood trail separately."

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first?" Malfoy couldn't help asking.

Hagrid said, "As long as you stay with Fang and I, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you."

Hagrid thought that the creatures in the Forbidden Forest had hurt the unicorn, but Loren knew that it was Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, who did it, and he could not separate them.

Under Hagrid's protection, if they encountered a weakened Voldemort, they still had a chance to fight back with Hagrid's high magic resistance and physical attack, and delay until Dumbledore came to help. If they divided their forces, the young wizards and Fang would be easy prey if they encountered even a half-crippled Quirrell.

"Hagrid," Loren interrupted, "Remember the Acromantula from before?"

Hagrid thought Loren was afraid that the Acromantula would hurt them. "Remember, don't worry. Aragog has ended his hibernation, and his descendants have also woken up from hibernation. They won't be so hungry anymore."

"You said that there were creatures from outside that broke into the Forbidden Forest. This incident might have been caused by that guy."

Hagrid's face was uncertain, and he looked a little scared. "You're right. I almost made a big mistake."

In the end, there was no division of forces. Instead, six little wizards, led by a half-blood giant and a hunting dog, chose a small path and gradually explored deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

They walked on in silence, their eyes fixed on the ground. Now and then a ray of moonlight would peek through the branches above and illuminate a silver-blue bloodstain on a fallen leaf.

If someone looked at Loren, they would find that the blue light in his eyes was very bright. In his eyes, the blood of these unicorns was already filled with dark light. Full of energy, but also full of severe curses.

The unicorn is dead, and only the blood of dead unicorns can bring a severe curse.

But Hagrid didn't know that he wanted to find the poor little guy as soon as possible and save it.

"Could it be that a werewolf killed the unicorn?" Harry whispered.

"Hey! Werewolves can't deal with unicorns. Don't be fooled by their appearance. Unicorns are not creatures that you can easily mess with." Hagrid was more optimistic. "Besides, werewolves don't usually live in the Forbidden Forest. They're not considered animals."

The group walked for nearly an hour, going deeper and deeper into the forest. The trees became denser, the branches and grass became more and more tangled, and the path was almost impassable.

The bloodstains on the ground were becoming more and more dense, and a lot of blood was splashed on a tree root.

Ahead were tangled branches, and on the other side a vague clearing was visible, with movement in the clearing.

Hagrid took the six young wizards in one hand and took them behind a sturdy oak tree. He approached carefully and looked inside through the gaps between the branches.

A mysterious man in a hood leaned over the unicorn's neck, making sucking sounds with his mouth, as if he was drinking the unicorn's blood.

The unicorn's body was covered with silver-white hair, which shone brightly in the moonlight. Its long legs were stiffly straight, and its mane was spread on the dark fallen leaves, exuding a miserable light.

Angry Hagrid raised his giant crossbow and shot the arrow over.

call out!

The mysterious man seemed to have eyes on his back. He waved his hands behind his back and the arrow was swept away and nailed into the tree trunk next to him.

The arrow was more than halfway into the tree trunk, and the feathers kept shaking, showing the anger and power of the half-blood giant's arrow.

The mysterious man turned around and raised his finger like a magic wand towards Hagrid. The tangled branches were shattered by the huge force, and Hagrid was hit by a cannonball and was blown straight into the oak tree where Loren and his men were hiding.

Several little wizards vaguely heard the sound of tree trunks cracking.

Crabbe stood there watching this scene, with fierce fire flashing in his eyes. If he had this kind of power, he could kill Malfoy and Potter.

"Hagrid!" Harry immediately jumped in front of Hagrid. In an instant, the scar seemed to suddenly catch fire, and a sharp pain pierced Harry's head, blurring his vision.

"Run! Harry," Hagrid shouted, standing up and pushing Harry away. He leaned close to the oak tree, broke the trunk with a push of his shoulder, and raised the trunk to smash at the mysterious man.

The situation of the encounter was completely different from what Loren thought, and Hagrid could still resist it. Their children would die after eating this kind of injury.

There was no time to make any noise, so they quickly ran back with Hermione and Ron beside them. Malfoy ran faster than them.

Throwing the tree trunk, Hagrid didn't even look at the results behind him, picked up the stunned Harry and Crabbe and ran away. Although they couldn't see the scene behind them, they all knew that the tree trunk would not cause any harm to the mysterious man.

Hagrid's blood was boiling. He had never encountered danger in the Forbidden Forest before, and he attacked rashly, forgetting that he had students to take care of.

He made a huge mistake tonight, and this time he was not wrongly accused. As the keeper of the keys to Hogwarts, if any little wizard got into trouble here, he would be killed.

Holding the two little wizards under his arms, he was running as fast as he could. Suddenly, Harry felt a pulling force on his body.

Harry was snatched away by a mysterious man using magic!

Harry was unconscious, and his stiff body flew towards the mysterious man like a dead tree.

"Harry!" Hagrid's eyes widened as he put Crabbe down and was about to turn back.

Suddenly, an arrow shot towards the mysterious man.

Although the shot missed, it interrupted his magic.

Harry fell from the sky.

A silver-maned figure leaped into the air, carrying Harry on his back, quickly shot a few arrows at the mysterious man, and ran towards Hagrid.

"Firenze!" Hagrid couldn't help but let his tears fall on his beard.

The mysterious man was about to chase again, but two centaurs jumped out of the jungle, bent their bows, and arrows flew.

Seeing that more people were gathering, the mysterious man disappeared with the unicorn's body.

"Ronan! Bane!" Hagrid gratefully greeted the two centaurs. He felt that his heart was about to lose blood, and his head was a little dizzy.

After the mysterious man disappeared, Harry's headache disappeared and he slowly woke up. Crabbe pretended to be frightened.

Loren also came over with Hermione and Ron.

He looked at these centaurs carefully. The upper parts were human bodies, and the lower parts were horse bodies. Several male centaurs were shirtless.

In Loren's vision, there was a faint light flowing around them, similar to the starlight in the sky.

"Firenze!"

The black-haired, black-bodied centaur Bane roared, "What are you doing? You let a man ride on your back! Aren't you ashamed? Are you an ordinary mule?"

"Remember, Firenze, we have sworn not to go against the will of Heaven. Don't you see that Mars is very bright tonight, and don't you see the signs shown by the movement of the planets?"

Without caring about the people around him, the black centaur Bane poured his anger towards the silver centaur Firenze.

Firenze was not angry. His voice was steady and calm. "Don't you see who this is? This is the boy from the Potter family. We have to get these human foals out of this forest as soon as possible."

"Didn't you notice the unicorn? Think about why it was killed? If necessary, we should stand on the side of humans."

Another centaur, Ronan, with a red beard, red hair, and a brown body, was paddling the ground with his hooves nervously. He said, "I believe Firenze did this with the best of intentions."

"What does this have to do with us centaurs! What the centaurs care about are the predictions of the stars. There is no need for us to follow humans like donkeys!" Bane was extremely angry and ran away with his hooves swinging.

The conversation between the centaurs was very subtle. Loren initially thought that Bane was blaming Firenze for losing his identity as a centaur, and that letting humans ride on their backs was a shame for the centaurs.

But Firenze's words show that the situation is not that simple. Bane is blaming Firenze for saving Harry, which goes against the astrological understanding of Bane.

It seemed that he had seen from the stars that Harry was destined to die at the hands of Voldemort.

There is also the sentence "Mars is very bright tonight."

Loren looked up at the starry sky. The bright moon was surrounded by dark clouds, and no other stars could be seen. If there was a stargazing class today, it would definitely be another fabricated report.

Recalling Flamel's words, Loren had a strong premonition that the Book of Abraham should be opened tonight.

Bane's departure eased the atmosphere. Hagrid took Harry from Firenze's back, held him in his arms, and did not let go for a long time.

Harry's thoughts were in a mess. After thanking Firenze, he quickly ran to the group of young wizards.

Hagrid began to tell Firenze and Ronan what happened tonight.

"As for me, Hagrid doesn't need any magic at all. His body is the most powerful weapon." Ron waved his hands excitedly, imitating Hagrid's movements of breaking the tree and throwing it out.

After escaping from danger, the fear and dread quickly turned into excitement.

Harry was about to reply when he heard Firenze calling him from behind.

"Harry Potter, do you know what unicorn blood can be used for?"

Harry shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Firenze told Harry that unicorn blood could prolong the life of a dying person, but slaughtering a pure unicorn would also result in a curse of life.

Living with this curse is worse than death, unless it is just to delay time, and then there will be more powerful magic power to reshape the body.

"Mr. Potter, do you know what has powerful magic and is hidden in the school right now?" Firenze's hooves stepped on the stones, making a "clacking" sound.

The Philosopher's Stone! Harry answered silently in his mind.

Firenze asked again, "Can't you imagine that there are people who have been waiting for years, longing to make a comeback? Who are clinging to life tightly, waiting for the opportunity?"

Inexplicably, Professor Trelawney's prophetic voice echoed in Loren's mind, "...the old and the new...the wave...the black forest..."

It seems that it not only confirms the forests in Albania, but also has some similarities with the current scene.

More than one person heard Firenze's question, and everyone knew the answer to the question - Voldemort.

The young wizards felt as if an iron claw had grabbed their hearts. Harry, Ron and Hermione, their steps stiff, echoing this answer in their minds.

Crabbe kept his head down, trying his best to control his distorted face and stifle his crazy laughter. He knew, he knew, the glory of pure blood would never end.

Malfoy on the other side was just at a loss, endlessly at a loss. His father was a well-known Death Eater, and Voldemort's return seemed to have only benefits for them, not harm.

But then, the Malfoy family is not doing badly now. If Voldemort rules the wizarding world, how much profit can the Malfoy family make?

His father had to meet with officials from the Ministry of Magic every month, and a good part of their family property was lost because of this. But his parents didn't seem to have any objection to this, and occasionally when they mentioned the "glorious" period, there was only fear on their faces.

Over the past ten years, Malfoy Manor has held many parties, big and small. Whether it is Aurors, Ministry of Magic officials, or pure-blood relatives, they are all afraid of Voldemort.

During that glorious time, many pure-bloods died at the hands of Voldemort.

Chapter 103 Interpretation of the Book of Abraham

The young wizard walked in front, and the centaurs and Hagrid protected them from behind. The 22 legs of the nine people stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest, making a rustling sound.

Immersed in our own thoughts, we didn't know how long we walked. The weeds on the path gradually became less dense, the trees were not so dense, and the view gradually became wider.

When they looked up, they had arrived at Hagrid's hut. Loren and the others looked back and found that the two centaurs had disappeared without a trace.

"I need to put down my weapons. I can't take them to Hogwarts. Wait for me." Hagrid said in a muffled voice.

Going further ahead is the greenhouse where the herbal medicine classes are held, which is very close to the castle.

Crabbe didn't want to waste time here, and said in an impatient tone: "You don't have to send me back, I can go back by myself."

After saying that, he walked towards the castle. He couldn't wait to go back and write a letter.

"Fang, keep an eye on him," Hagrid instructed, patting the hound on the head.

There would be no danger in getting from the edge of the Forbidden Forest to the castle, but out of duty, he still asked Fang to escort them.

Malfoy looked around and followed Fang.

"Hagrid, do you want to take care of your injuries? We can go back by ourselves." Loren said.

Harry then remembered that Hagrid had resisted a powerful spell, and looked at Hagrid with concern.

Hagrid smiled and patted his chest hard. "Look! Nothing happened."

The thick palms collided with the sternum, making a bang.
