Chapter 37: Horseman and Mars

玛 Filch snorted when Marka denied the existence of the werewolf in the forbidden forest.
谁 "Who said no? For a long time in the past, the cry of the werewolf has been lingering, but it was the heart trouble of all the students in the school at that time." He sneered.
He was talking, Hagrid strode toward them from the darkness, his teeth followed. Hagrid carried his huge crossbow, and on his shoulders was a full-filled quiver.
"It's almost time," he said, "I've been waiting for half an hour. How's it going, Marka, Harry, Hermione?"
"It shouldn't be so kind to them, Hagrid," Filch said coldly. "After all, they came here to be punished."
"That's why you're late, aren't you?" Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, "I've been teaching them all the time, huh? This is not the place for you to teach people. Your task is done, and from now on I'm responsible. "
"I'll be back at dawn," Filch said, "come to clean up their wreckage."
He said fiercely, then turned and walked towards the castle, the lamp disappeared in the darkness.
Then, Malfoy suddenly turned to Hagrid.
"I won't enter that forbidden forest!" There was a hint of panic in his voice, which made Harry feel happy.
"If you want to stay in Hogwarts, you have to go." Hagrid said relentlessly, "You have done something wrong, and now you have to pay the price."
"The clerk came here by human staff, not by students. I thought we wrote and checked at most. If my father knew I was doing this, he would--"
"He will tell you, this is what Hogwarts is like." Hagrid said rudely. "Write a check? What's good for you? You have to do something useful or you have to get out. If you think you Your father would let you be fired, so just go back to the castle to pack your luggage and go! "
Seeing Malfoy staring at Hagrid for a moment, he finally lowered his eyes, and then Hagrid continued to speak.
"Okay," said Hagrid. "Listen carefully now. What we are going to do tonight is very dangerous. I don't want to put anyone in danger."
"Come with me here first-"
He led them to the edge of the forbidden forest, held the lamp high, and pointed to a sheep's gut that was gradually hidden into the deep black forest.
"Look over there," Hagrid said, "see the glittering thing on the ground? Silver! That's the blood of a unicorn. A unicorn in the forbidden forest was injured by something and hurt. It's heavy. This is the second time this week. I found one dead last Wednesday-we have to fight to find that poor unicorn and get it out of pain as soon as possible. "
"What if it hurts the unicorn ... that thing, it found us first, what should we do?" Malfoy asked, his voice containing unstoppable fear.
"As long as you are with me or Tooth, no creatures in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you." Hagrid said, "Don't leave the path! Okay, now we have to split the two paths and search along the blood trail. Everywhere It's all blood. Obviously, it has been bumping and wandering everywhere since at least last night. "
"I want teeth!" Malfoy seemed to be bewildered by the deterrent appearance of this great hound, and he kept talking.
"Okay, but I remind you, it's a coward," said Hagrid. "Then Malfoy, Neville, and Tooth go one way, Maca, um ... Maca, or you go with Tooth How is it? I think you can help me look at the teeth, so that it won't come back if it is suddenly afraid. "
"No! Don't, that ... Mr. McLean, go with them, our side ... that ... no problem." Malfoy's resistance to Maca was clearly no less than that of the Forbidden Forest.
"So, okay! I, Maca, Harry, and Hermione, go one way." Hagrid nodded.
"If anyone finds a unicorn, fire a green spark, okay? Take your wand out and practice it. By the way, if anyone is in trouble, fire a red spark, and we'll all come to you- All right, be careful, let's go. "
The dense canopy in the Forbidden Forest blocked most of the moonlight, so the forest seemed quite dim. Even with a lantern in his hand, Hagrid could only illuminate a small area around him.
"Fluorescence flickers." Maca pulled out her wand and increased the visibility around her.
谢谢 "Thank you," Hagrid said. "This will make us look more carefully."
They walked in for a while, and at the fork in the road, the two groups started to separate.
They walked silently, staring at the ground. From time to time, you can see that there is a silver blood on the fallen leaves on the ground, and there is a touch of blue in the light.
玛 And Maca has stopped thinking about the scroll of truth, and if nothing else happens, you should encounter some interesting things.
"Will the werewolf kill the unicorn?" Harry asked.
"I haven't seen a werewolf here," Hagrid said. "Even if there were a werewolf, it wouldn't be so fast. It's not easy to catch a unicorn. They are very powerful animals. Magic, I have never heard of a unicorn being hurt before. "
They walked past a large mossy stump where the sound of gurgling water could be heard faintly. Obviously, there is a stream somewhere nearby.
Walking on the winding road, there are still scattered unicorn blood.
"Are you okay, Hermione?" Hagrid whispered. "Don't worry, since it hurts so badly, it won't be possible to go very far. We will soon-no good, hide in that tree. Go back! "
海 Before Hagrid began to remind, Maca had dragged Hermione into the bushes beside her. Hagrid glanced at him and kept holding his hand. He grabbed Harry, carried him off the path, and hid behind a towering oak tree.
He pulled out a feather arrow, mounted it on the crossbow, and raised it to prepare to fire at any time.
Immediately, Harry heard it too, and it seemed that something was dragging on the nearby leaves, making a rustling noise. Hagrid squinted and stared at the dark alley. After a few seconds, the sound faded away.
我 "I see," he murmured, "There is something that originally did not belong here."
I am afraid that no one can match Hagrid with his familiarity with the Forbidden Forest. He judged so accurately that Maca was not surprised at all.
"Werewolf?" Harry asked.
"The werewolf has average endurance, but the speed and explosiveness are very strong, and he will not walk so procrastinating." Makara walked out of the bush with Hermione, staring at the deep black forest forbiddenly.
"Maca is right." Hagrid said with certainty, "Well, come with me, now be careful."
他们 As they proceeded cautiously at a slower pace, they suddenly saw something moving in the open space in front.
谁 "Who is there?" Hagrid shouted, "Come out-I have a weapon!"
"Hagrid, that's a horse," Marka said.
东西 The thing went into the open space at the same time—a person above the waist, red hair and a beard; but a brown-red shiny horse below the waist, with a long red tail trailing behind.
Harry and Hermione opened their mouths in surprise.
哦 "Oh, it's you, Ronan." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you?"
He stepped forward and shook hands with the horseman.
"Good evening, Hagrid," said Ronan, his voice low and sad. "You want to shoot me with a bow and arrow?"
"I have to be vigilant, Ronan," Hagrid said, patting his quiver. "There is a bad guy in this forest moving around. Oh, yes, this is Maca McLean, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger, were students in the school above. Let me introduce you. This is Ronan, a horseman. "
"Hello, Ronan." Maca also stepped forward and shook hands with him, "Glad to meet you."
He has always been interested in the prophetic talent of the Ma people, but this has not helped him much. Because in any case, the prophecy is always ambiguous and distorted by the actual choice. So most predictions can only be used as a reference, at least Maca thinks so.
"Hello, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com." Luo Nan said, "Are you students? Did you learn a lot in school?"
"Knowledge is always inexhaustible," Maca said. "Systematic teaching can enlighten students."
"This is very helpful for exploring the unknown." Luo Nan nodded.
When he said that, he moved his gaze and stared at the sky above the open space. "Mars is bright tonight."
"Yes," Hagrid said, and looked up at the sky. "Listen to me, Ronan, I'm glad we met you because a unicorn was injured-did you see anything?"
Luo Luonan stared up without blinking, and then he sighed.
"Always innocent people suffer first." He said, "This has been the case for hundreds of years, it is still the case now."
"Yes," said Hagrid, "but have you seen anything, Ronan? What unusual things have you seen?"
"Mars tonight is bright ... extra bright."
Tamars' words are always so uncertain, and chatting with them can be anxious.
不错 "Yes, but I mean, is there anything abnormal near our house?" Hagrid was obviously a little impatient. "Did you notice any strange movements?"
"I think Ronan wants to say that Mars is in the opposite position and the brightness is high, and something bad should happen." Maca explained, "for example, riot, betrayal, oppression, fraud, or simply war."
Ronan looked at Maca, as did Hermione and Harry, but Maca shrugged.
"Don't look at me like that, I also see it in the book." He said, "To be honest, I'm not very good at astronomy and divination, just just memorize them."
