Chapter 25: Punishment and Forbidden Forest

　　The house leaks in the middle of the night, and the ship is late and the headwinds. This sentence can be used to describe Ron.
　　 was taught a hard meal by someone not long ago, but there was no way to retaliate under the circumstances of asking for others. Of course, he could not retaliate.
　　 Then now he finally understood the meaning of the last sentence he heard that day.
　　 He was bitten by the dragon.
　　After only one night, his hand was swollen twice, the wound turned into an unsightly green color, and it was obvious that the dragon's teeth were poisonous.
"My hand seems to be unable to hold a pen for a week." Ron said, "I understand the meaning of the last sentence of that guy, this is really the most terrible creature I have encountered." He said with a lingering fear .
　　 "What to do, Madam Pomfrey will definitely find out." Hermione was anxious.
　　 "I must be bitten by a dog, so rest assured." Ron reassured, as if he had been bitten.
　　 "Malfoy has written." Harry took out a letter and said solemnly.
　　 "What do you say in the letter?" Ron asked.
　　 "He asked us to take the Ridgeback to the highest tower at midnight on Saturday, and someone will come to meet us." Harry said slowly.
"Midnight!" Ron exclaimed, and then said: "This is a conspiracy! He wanted us to be deducted points, maybe we went there where no one would have, and then we were discovered by Mrs. Lorris! Gryffindor's points are deducted."
　　 "Ron." Harry said seriously. "So far we can only trust him. If we think about him, if we want to report it, we are estimated to have been punished long ago, and we also have a second move, don't we." After that, Harry also laughed.
　　 "Invisibility clothes!" Hermione said excitedly.
　　 "The cloak is enough to cover both of us and Norbert." Harry nodded.
　　 They spent an anxious few days, and Noble is now like a hot potato that is difficult to get rid of, they just feel that they have never looked forward to Saturday.
　　 It was a dark, overcast night. When they arrived at Hagrid’s hut, it was a little late. Because Pippi was playing tennis against the wall in the hall, they had to wait until he left.
　　Hagrid prepared many mice for his little dragon, some brandy, and even a teddy bear. He packed all these things into a large crate.
　　 "Goodbye, Noble!" Hagrid said happily, "Mom won't forget you!" Harry and Hermione covered the crate with invisible clothes, and then they got under the robe.
　　 The ensuing journey was full of surprises.
　　The steep spiral staircase leading to the tower seems to be the most relaxing part of the world. They kept coming to the cold night sky before they took off their invisible clothes. How good it is, finally breathing freely again. Hermione also danced a brisk dance.
　　 "Calm down, Hermione." Harry reminded. "We haven't succeeded yet."
　　 Waited for about ten minutes, a few brooms suddenly fell from the sky.
　　 "He didn't pit us." Harry decided.
　　 "Are you two friends of Master Draco?" one of the tallest people asked. Obviously he is the leader.
　　 "Well." Although he didn't want to admit it, Harry nodded.
　　 "Okay, let's leave it to us now." Then these people tied a few ropes to Noble's body, which seemed to be woven into a net, so that it could be taken away firmly.
　　 "Happy cooperation." The leading man said so.
　　 "Thank you very much." Harry nodded vigorously. Afterwards, these people rode on the broom and flew to the silent night sky.
　　 Harry and Hermione walked down the spiral staircase quietly, finally getting rid of the heavy burden of Norber, their mood was as light as their hands. When the dragon is gone, they don't have to worry about it anymore.
　　 The person who fell the most was the one closest to success. When the two of them stepped into the corridor, they saw Filch's annoying face.
　　 "It's finished." Harry wondered why Filch could see Hermione and himself. As a result, he touched him and found that the cloak was forgotten upstairs.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------
　　 Early the next morning, when the students of Gryffindor passed the huge hourglass that recorded the score of the College Cup, they thought something was wrong. How could they suddenly be one hundred points less than yesterday? Then, things slowly spread: Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter, the heroes of two Quidditch matches, they even lost them With so many points, he has another stupid first-year student.
　　Harry was one of the most popular and admired characters in the school, but now it has suddenly become a target. Even the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff didn't look good to him, because everyone had always wanted to see Slytherin lose the College Cup. Wherever Harry went, people pointed at him and did not lower his voice when he said something that insulted him. On the other hand, whenever he walked past the Slytherins, they always applauded, whistled, and cheered. "Thank you, Potter, you helped us a lot!"
　　Only Ron stood aside with him.
　　 "In a few weeks, they will forget these things. Fred and George have been losing points since they entered school, and people still like them." Ron comforted.
　　 "But they never lost 100 points at once, right?" Harry said.
　　Ron stopped talking.
　　 They now think how wonderful the exam is, so they can temporarily forget the mistakes they made. He also went to Wood to resign from the position of the player, but he did not agree.
He made up his mind to stop going about business, he had to use study to paralyze himself, he tried his best to memorize complex potion recipes, remember those magic and mantras, remember the dates of major magic inventions and goblin rebellions, as if Those words and white eyes can disappear from his mind.
　　He made up his mind that he would never go into more business, but this principle was soon broken again.
　　 He heard Snape threaten Chilo again, and this time Snape finally succeeded.
　　In the library.
　　 "I'm going to stop him." Harry said.
　　 "Harry, I think we should take care of ourselves now." Ron considered his own words.
　　 "I think so too." Hermione received it weakly.
　　 "Even if I get fired, I won't let him succeed." Harry clenched his fists.
　　 Hearing Harry made such a determination, Ron said: "Just die if you die. The big deal is to drop out of school. I will help you. Who calls us friends?"
　　Hermione bit her lip, as if she was struggling in her heart, and finally said nothing.
　　 The next morning, Harry and Hermione both received notes on the breakfast table. The two notes are exactly the same: your confinement starts at eleven tonight. Find Mr. Filch, Professor McGonagall, in the foyer.
The endless white eyes and spurs made Harry almost forget that he was going to accept the punishment of confinement. Harry thought that Hermione would complain that it took up her review time, but she did not. She felt that all should be deserved— -If you make a mistake, you should be punished.
At 11 o'clock that night, after bidding farewell to Ron in the common room, the two of them went to Filch's office to receive punishment. They were all uneasy along the way, not knowing what kind of punishment they would receive, when they walked slowly Near Filch's office, in the dim light they also saw a person who was absolutely impossible to appear here-Malfoy.
　　 "Come with me." Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out. "I think that if you want to violate school rules again, you have to think twice, don't you, eh?"
　　 "Why is he here?" Harry asked aloud. Hermione was also very surprised at the moment, bowing her fingers and tangling her fingers, not knowing how to face him.
　　Filch said in his somber voice: "Professor McGonagall is worried about you. I found a bodyguard for you. It's a weird thing. Obviously, even if you are fined, you can still have a bodyguard." Filch seemed a little unbelievable.
　　 "Actually, I'm not so happy." Malfoy shrugged. "But I have to get my wand back, don't I?" said he turned his hands twice. Obviously he also needs to pay some price to get his wand back.
　　 Then they strode through the dark ground. Hermione whispered to Harry, "Where are we going?"
　　 Harry whispered softly, "I don't know either."
　　 "Don't guess, we are going to the Forbidden Forest." Malfoy seemed to hear their conversation and said lightly.
　　The night came, the moonlight was very bright and bright, but clouds continued to come over to cover the moon, causing them to fall into darkness, and the night wind with some moisture and cold touched, so that several people could not help but shivered. Especially Harry and Hermione, they were shocked by the news. The Forbidden Forest is equivalent to a forbidden land among many ordinary students, symbolizing danger and terror.
　　 "It is said that there are werewolves inside." Harry whispered.
"Oh." Malfoy laughed sarcastically. "More than that, the eight-eyed giant spider, Ye Qi, the unicorn, the horseman may all meet us, it depends on luck." Malfoy added in his heart A sentence: "Maybe I will meet Voldemort today."
　　As Malfoy spit out a noun, Hermione's face looked pale, and she looked at Malfoy confusedly, as if trying to find some fear on his face, but found nothing. She couldn't help thinking: "Is he not afraid at all?"
　　 "I have good news to tell you." He said suddenly.
　　 "Mr. Draco, are you talking too much?" Filch interrupted him.
　　 "Oh, that's good." Malfoy stopped talking.
　　Of course, Harry and Hermione soon learned the good news. They saw Hagrid striding toward them from the darkness, their teeth behind. Hagrid took his huge stone bow and a full-fledged arrow on his shoulder. Harry and Hermione could not help but smile when they saw him.
"Oh, are you here to play? It's still so happy?" Filch seemed to see no one happy. The identity of the dumb gun made his mind twisted. He said so fiercely, "You are in the forbidden forest. "" He left such a curse-sentence, and he wobbled the lantern to the castle and left the place.
"Now listen carefully. What we Ding to do tonight is very dangerous. I don’t want anyone to be in danger. Come here with me first." Hagrid led them to the edge of the forbidden forest and turned the lights on Raising high, pointing to a small intestinal path that gradually hides deep into the black jungle. They looked into the Forbidden Forest, and a breeze blew their hair.
"You look over there," Hagrid said. "Do you see that glittering thing on the ground? Silvery-white? That's the blood of the unicorn. A unicorn in the forbidden forest was injured and injured by something. Very heavy. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We are going to fight to find the poor unicorn and get rid of the pain."
　　 "Now we want to separate soldiers into two paths and look for them along the blood stains. As long as you follow me and your teeth, you will not be hurt by the creatures of the forest." Hagrid said proudly.
　　 "I'm afraid that there are more than the original creatures in the forbidden forest." Malfoy's voice came from behind Hagrid.
Hagrid couldn't help but tremble when he heard this voice. He had tried to ignore Malfoy as much as possible. The last time he communicated with him was definitely not pleasant, but he still said roughly: "So we must be more careful, you Just take your teeth."
　　 Let’s say the black hound behind Hagrid licked his paw. I didn’t know whether it was a satisfactory or unsatisfactory decision.
　　 "Yes, it's a coward, you still have to pay attention to it yourself." Although Hagrid had a bad impression of him, he still reminded.
　　 "You don't need to worry about it," Malfoy said lightly, and then turned to the fork on the right.
　　 "Harry, Hermione, let's go this way." Hagrid used his huge body to lead the two of them, almost covering all the faint moonlight, and they were all dark.
　　 They walked silently, staring at the ground. From time to time, a moonlight spilled from among the branches above, illuminating a silver-blue blood stain on the fallen leaves.
　　 Harry saw that Hagrid was very anxious.
　　 "Will the werewolf kill the unicorn?" Harry asked.
　　 "It won't be this fast," Hagrid said. "It's not easy to catch a unicorn. They have such strong magic. I have never heard of unicorns being hurt before."
　　 They walked past a mossy stump. Harry could hear the gurgling water, and there was obviously a stream somewhere nearby. On the winding road, there are still scattered spots of unicorn blood.
　　 "Are you all right, Hermione?" Hagrid asked in a low voice. "Don't worry, since it's so badly wounded, it's impossible to go far, and we will soon be able-no, hide behind that tree!"
There was a subtle sound from a distance. A centaur came over. Above the waist were humans, red hair and beard, but below the waist was a brownish red shiny horse. There was a long trail behind Red tail.
　　 Hermione and Harry opened their mouths and were stunned by the creature in front of them.
　　 As for Malfoy, there were dense bushes all around him, and his teeth only dared to follow him far away, but he didn't dare to get close. It seemed that there was something dangerous in front of him.
"Obviously came to be a bodyguard, but now the dog is being protected." Malfoy thought to himself, but he dare not slacken his heart. The danger ahead is unpredictable terror. He may be alone today. Face the most powerful dark wizard in the world.
The woods became denser and denser, and he kept walking through them. He must be careful to bypass some sharp protruding branches, lest he be scratched and go deeper and deeper, and suddenly his eyes passed through an ancient tree. The tangled branches of the oak tree, you can see an empty space in front of it, and the ground emits white light.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but tighten his body, suddenly, a bush shook at the edge of the open space. Then, a hooded figure flashed from the shadow, crawling slowly on the ground, like a beast approaching gradually. Harry and Malfoy kept tightly in control to keep calm, and they were now scared and stupid. The figure in the cloak came to the unicorn, lowered his head, aimed at the wound on the side of the corpse, and began to drink its blood.
"Who is it?" The black figure seemed to be aware of the presence of someone around him. He looked around, actually found the direction, and drifted towards the position of Malfoy. It was like a ghost. route.
　　 "What a terrible perception." Malfoy froze.
"His..." The figure came to Malfoy slowly, making a snake-like sound, making people have goose bumps, teeth were already scared to the ground, and the trembling trembling The face of the person under the cloak is tightly wrapped, making it difficult to see the true face.
　　 "Your father is right, I finally found you, Lord Dark Lord!" Malfoy suddenly showed a fanatical expression on his face, the joy in his voice overflowing.
　　 "Oh? Young wizard, let me think about who your child is." The original Voldemort was ready to start, but this sentence was dispelled. "Platinum blond hair, uh, you're Lucius' child." The shadow under the cloak made a cold, harsh voice, and there was some surprise in his emotions. Under the night, Voldemort's vision was not affected. "What's your name?" he asked, trying to be as kind as possible, but this feeling didn't match his hoarse voice.
　　 "My name is Draco, Draco Malfoy. Dear Lord Dark Lord." Malfoy tried to make himself appear full of enthusiasm. He mobilized the muscles of his face, showing a fanatical look, making him appear pious.
"Oh, it's unbelievable." The Dark Lord under the cloak looked a little surprised. He then said: "I didn't expect that the most loyal Death Eater was actually Lucius. It's ironic." Perhaps he thought of his men before, Mar. Fu Chai showed an ugly smile under his cloak to express his sarcasm.
　　 "You, very good." Voldemort said.
　　 "My father never gave up looking for you in a moment!" Malfoy began to "black" his father. "He firmly believes that you will come back someday."
　　 "Master Dark Lord, Harry Potter and they are now around here, we can..."
"Your loyalty is enough to shame most Death Eaters." Voldemort interrupted Malfoy's words. His voice was a little hushed, but he could be satisfied now, "but I still have more important things to do now. Do it." said Voldemort with a chuckle: "The lucky savior will let him live a little longer."
"Who invaded our territory?" Suddenly the two felt the ground shaking, and the roaring sound came from afar. On the other side of the open space, Malfoy saw the flying dust stirred. .
　　 "This group of disgusting centaurs." Voldemort said in disgust. "When I get rid of this ridiculous body, I must teach them well." "You, very good." Voldemort repeated this sentence to Malfoy, and said nervously: "I look forward to our next time Meet." Then the shadow disappeared into the void, and no trace could be found.
　　 "If you can, it will naturally make you never see the best, but it seems unlikely." Malfoy couldn't help thinking.
　　 The speed of the four-legged Centaur is naturally very fast, and a small team of Centaur rushed to his side in the blink of an eye, raising their weapons.
"Invader, tell your name and purpose." The leading centaur has white blonde hair, amazingly blue eyes, and a silver mane body. He questioned Malfoy and raised Got a spear in his hand.
　　 "Ferrenze, wait, it's a misunderstanding!" Hagrid ran sweating from behind them, followed by Hermione, Harry, and several other centaurs.
"Oh my god, what's going on here?" Hagrid looked down on the ground, only to see a long-dead unicorn, its slender legs kept the posture when it fell, and it was unnaturally straight; Its mane is spread on the dark leaves, as white as pearls.
"Is this a student of your school? It seems that he killed a unicorn." The leading centaur is not good at speaking, and most of the ethnic groups in the forest are friendly, let alone symbolizing Pure and noble unicorns, this is the most popular species.
　　 "No no no,". Hagrid shook his huge head and quickly denied it. "He just broke up with us. You see, I was all assigned to him. He just happened to touch its body."
The leading half-man Ma pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "The first-year student should not kill a unicorn, but he invaded our territory, and today's sky is very wrong." The horse looked up at the stars in the sky, "This is an ominous sign!" it added.
　　 "This is a misunderstanding." Hagrid said in an exaggerated tone. Although he was dissatisfied with Malfoy's previous behavior, his loyal nature allowed him to do such an action automatically.
"Let me see." The centaur named Ferenze no longer wanted to talk about this topic. His eyes moved behind Hagrid, saw Harry, and saw the bright and prominent lightning on his forehead. Shaped scar.
　　 "Hello, Potter boy." The centaur said in a friendly tone.
　　 "Hello, do you know me?" Harry nodded sternly, a little afraid of this magical creature.
　　 "Do you know what the unicorn's blood can do?"
　　 "I don't know," Harry was shocked when he heard this weird question, and said, "We used only its horns and tail hair in the potion class."
"This is because killing a unicorn is an extremely brutal thing." Ferenze said. "Only people who have nothing and want everything can commit such a heinous crime. The blood of the unicorn Can continue your life, even if you are dying, but you must pay a heavy price for it. You have killed a pure, weak and helpless life in order to save your life, so the blood touches your lips From that moment on, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."
　　Harry said his doubts aloud, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "If you have to be cursed all your life, you might as well die, right?"
"Good," Ferenze agrees, "unless you just use it to prolong your life, so that you can drink another thing-something that makes you completely rejuvenated and spells-one that makes you Things that are immortal. Mr. Porter, do you know what East XC is in school at the moment?"
　　 "Magic Stone!" Hermione beside him exclaimed.
"I should have thought about anyone else but him?" Harry hugged his head in remorse. No one would think about it again except Voldemort, seizing his life, he would not be afraid of cursing. , Because he is a curse in itself. "I actually think Snape's idea of ​​hitting the magic stone only for the purpose of turning the stone into gold." He hammered his head fiercely, seeming to blame himself for his stupidity.
　　 "After the guidance of the astrology, I can only give you these hints." Ferenze said slowly, and then paused: "You can go back today. Humans are not welcome in the forest now." He issued a guest order.
　　 "Okay, these kids should go back." Hagrid didn't seem to figure out what was going on, but knew that it was time to go back to school now. Harry and Hermione followed him in a muddled way, not knowing what to think about.
　　 All of a sudden, Harry walking on the road seemed to think of something, and turned to ask Malfoy, who had been silent for a long time, "Are you going to report?"
　　 Malfoy said with a smile: "Who knows."
　　No one saw Hermione's lips that were about to bite.
