A friendly day at Hogwarts

Glenn kept his figure hidden, standing behind several people not far away.

After hearing Filch's words, Hermione seemed a little nervous and subconsciously tightened Harry's sleeves.

Not far ahead, Hagrid walked out of the shadows of the Forbidden Forest and strode up to them.

He carries a huge crossbow behind him and a fully loaded quiver on his shoulder.

The hound Fang came out from behind Hagrid, bared his teeth at Filch, and roared several times.

"I've been waiting for half an hour." Hagrid glanced at Filch and said softly to Hermione and Harry, "How are you two? Are you okay?"

"They are here to be punished. You shouldn't be so polite to them, Hagrid."

Filch was a little dissatisfied and said coldly.

"Is that why you're late? Spend your time teaching them a lesson?"

Hagrid frowned at Filch and said unceremoniously.

"This is not a place for you to teach others. Your task is completed, and I will be responsible from now on."

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not very harmonious, and there is a feeling of tension.

"I'll be back at dawn to clean up their remains."

After Filch said that, he turned around and walked towards the castle without giving Hagrid a chance to speak again.

The light flickered and disappeared into the darkness.

When he walked away, Hagrid immediately put on a guilty expression.

"It's all my fault!" He blamed himself, "I know you were sentenced to solitary confinement because of Norbert's incident..."

The speed of changing faces is comparable to that of a professional actor.

"It's okay." Harry waved his hand, "Let's leave quickly. We'll leave early and come back early."

Hagrid shook his head and said, "I'll just go by myself. You guys go to the room and wait for me."

Harry and Hermione naturally disagreed. The three argued for a while, and Hagrid, who was not good at speaking, was defeated.

"The Forbidden Forest is far more dangerous than you think. I don't want either of you two to be in danger."

He no longer forced the two of them to stay and said solemnly.

"You must follow me closely inside and don't get distracted."

Hermione and Harry nodded repeatedly and followed him step by step.

The three of them came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid raised the lamp high and pointed at a narrow path leading deep into the forest.

The path is deep and quiet, hidden in the light mist, with unknown weeds growing on both sides, like ghosts with teeth and claws hidden under the light.

Hermione was a girl after all, and shuddered.

Hagrid handed her the rope holding Fang.

Although Fang was also a coward, it still gave Hermione a little more peace of mind.

Glenn quietly approached a few people, carefully observing the position of his feet to avoid stepping on dead branches and leaves and making any noise.

You know, although Hagrid looks tall and thick, he looks like a frequent visitor to the Forbidden Forest. If he had not been vigilant enough, he would have been eaten up by the magical creatures in the forest.

If Glenn made any noise and he heard it, he might raise his hand and fire a crossbow arrow.

Although the ability of the Wind Step to penetrate the human body is powerful, it cannot ignore the direct crossbow attack.

He came to a position not far behind a few people and looked in the direction illuminated by Hagrid's light.

In the distance on the path, you can vaguely see a few small traces of silvery luster.

It was a trace similar to a fluorescent reaction.

It's like a murder scene recreated with luminol reagent.

"Did you see it? That silvery thing, that's the blood of a unicorn."

Hagrid held the lamp high with one hand, took out his pink umbrella from his coat pocket with the other hand, and pointed at the silver mark that Glenn had seen.

"Another unicorn has been seriously injured. This is the second one in half a month."

He looked sad and a little angry.

"The unicorn was badly injured and frightened, stumbling around all the time. We had to find it as soon as possible and put it out of its misery."

The three of them walked along the path. Everything in the forbidden forest was quiet, except for the rustling of leaves, which made people shudder.

After a short distance, the mottled moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches, illuminating a silvery blood stain on the fallen leaf, which made Hagrid look very anxious.

The weeds and vines on both sides became more and more dense, and Glenn followed the three of them far behind.

Not long after, the sound of gurgling water came, and they walked near a stream.

In front of the winding path, there were spots of unicorn blood scattered.

Hagrid squatted down, gently rubbed the blood stain, and raised his head.

"It should be around here. It's too badly injured and can't go very far. We'll be able to... soon."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly seemed to hear something and quickly lowered his voice, calling Hermione and Harry to leave the path.

"Quick! Get behind that tree!"

The three of them hid behind a tall oak tree.Hagrid handed the lamp to Harry, took off the crossbow behind him, and got ready to fire.

Glenn was startled, thinking that he had been discovered, so he quickly stopped and took another Wind Step.

Immediately afterwards, he also heard movement.

The sound of a cloak dragging on the ground and scratching on fallen leaves.

Hagrid raised his crossbow and stared at the dark path with squinted eyes.

But no figure appeared, and after a few seconds, the sound gradually disappeared.

"I see..."

Hagrid straightened up, put the crossbow on his back again, and murmured to himself.

"That's a creature that doesn't belong here..."

Glenn breathed a sigh of relief and opened the map interface.

Hagrid was right, the voice belonged to an outsider.

The names "Voldemort" and "Quilinus Quirrell" overlapped on a red cursor, which had just walked away from a few people.

There is also a cursor called "Ronan" that also appears not far ahead.

If Glenn remembers correctly, it should be a centaur mentioned in the original work.

The three of them returned to the path and continued to move forward cautiously, and soon met Ronan.

The centaur greeted Hagrid and also met Harry and Hermione.

When Hagrid asked about unicorns, he kept it secret. He just looked up at the night sky and repeated the same sentence mysteriously.

"Mars is bright tonight."

Not long after, another centaur appeared in front of the three of them - Bain.

Compared to Ronan, the black-haired Baine looks rougher.

He also didn't want to reveal any information. He just raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and repeated what Ronan said before.

"Mars is bright tonight."

"Well, I never get a straight answer from centaurs."

After bidding farewell to the two centaurs, Hagrid said with some annoyance.

"They're always looking up at the stars and it's really annoying. They don't seem interested in anything except what's around the moon."
