[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Dark clouds covered the bright moonlight, and the Forbidden Forest fell into darkness again.

"I didn't know you were afraid of snakes, Longbottom" Yigil said, he quickly put Nagini in his pocket, and looked up at the red flames in the sky. "You're overreacting, they must have thought something was wrong with us."

They waited where they were, and before long Hagrid came running towards them, sweating profusely.

"Are you all right?" He panted heavily, and the three little wizards stood here completely, letting Hagrid's heart hang down all the way.After asking what happened, he was really relieved.

"You've made such a fuss, now we're just lucky to catch that thing," he scolded.

Taking the three little wizards, and having a round with Harry and Hermione, Hagrid regrouped.This time Longbottom followed him, and Harry Potter took Longbottom's place, joining Igil and Draco.

They move on, looking for any sign of the unicorn.After walking for nearly half an hour, as we got deeper and deeper into the woods, the woods became extremely dense, and the path was almost impassable.

The blood was thicker and thicker on the ground, and the roots of a tree were spattered with blood, as if the poor animal had writhed and struggled in pain nearby.Through the tangled branches of an ancient tree, Harry saw a clearing ahead.

"Look—" he whispered, raising his arms to stop Igil.Draco took a step forward, alongside them.

There was something white and gleaming on the ground. It was a unicorn, and it was dead.Its beautiful mane was as white as pearls on the black fallen leaves, and they had never seen such a sad and beautiful sight.

They walked towards it, a bush at the edge of the clearing was shaking, a figure wrapped in a black cloak slowly crawled out from the shadows, he came to the unicorn, lowered his head, and pointed at the corpse Bitten off the wound on one side, drinking its blood greedily.

"Ahh..." Yaya howled and ran away, the black figure raised his head, his gaze was fixed on Harry, silver blood slipped out from the corner of his lips and dripped on the ground.

Harry Potter staggered back, clutching his head, his vision blurred by a headache.He fell to his knees with a plop, and Igil caught him.

There was the sound of horseshoes running behind them, and a young centaur passed over their heads and rushed towards the shadow...

Harry fell into Igil's arms with a pale face, and the weight of his whole body was pressed against him. Igil hugged Harry's waist, which was very thin.Harry's body wasn't heavy at all, surprisingly light.

They maintained this position for a full two minutes, and Igil didn't let go of his hand until Harry regained his strength.

"Are you OK?"

"Thank you..." Harry thanked, his face pale, his messy black hair wet with sweat.Draco's face was ugly, probably frightened.

"What was that?" Draco asked.

No one answered him.

Igil shot green sparks skyward with his wand, and the centaurs stood beside them.

"My name is Firenze," said the centaur in a sad voice.

"Hello, Firenze." Igil said, what he wanted to say was that he was very happy to see you, but a unicorn fell not far from them. This kind of occasion is really not happy, "What omen did you see from the celestial phenomena?" Igil asked. It was the first time he had met the centaurs, and they were born prophets.

"Planets have their own orbits. We have sworn that we will never defy God's will." Firenze scratched his hooves on the ground anxiously.

"But now, even we can't guess where the trajectories of the stars will go."

He shook his mane and bid farewell to them. The death of the unicorn made him unable to hide his sadness. He ran slowly into the depths of the forest until he disappeared...

"If you kill a unicorn, you will be cursed for the rest of your life. Such a half-dead life is better than dying." Igil sighed, his chest was tight, and it made him uncomfortable.

Igil's words made Harry ponder. "What if he just wants to stay alive until he can drink something else," Harry said slowly, "something that fully restores energy and spells."

"There are not many such things in the entire wizarding world." Draco took his words, and even the Malfoy family didn't have such things. "They are so precious, they are well hidden."

"What if I say, there is such a thing hidden in the school right now?" Harry Potter said, he had a plan in his mind, if two Slytherins cooperated...

"Fourth floor?" The two little wizards of Slytherin guessed at once. Dumbledore had warned everyone that it was a restricted area when school started.

"But who wants something like that?" Igil asked. "I mean, who would be that crazy."

Harry Potter moved the wet hair from his forehead, exposing the lightning-shaped scar.

"My scar hurt just now, from Voldemort."

【Hiss...fool】

"Who's talking?" Harry Potter raised his wand, he heard a girl's voice, Igil put the wand in his pocket, and cast "Silence"

He didn't chant the spell, his expression was indifferent, and Harry Potter didn't find out his little trick.Igil was a little surprised why Harry Potter could understand Parseltongue, but he didn't show it. Maybe the Potter family had intermarried with the Slytherin family. After all, they were also great nobles in the magic world, but this far-fetched Even he himself didn't believe the reason, including his own life experience, there were too many doubts, he would have a good talk with his father.

"Calling that man by his first name, Harry Potter, do you want to show your courage?" Draco was upset.That person's name is still taboo. "We all know you beat him."

"Just beat, Malfoy, he's back. I'm going to stop him from gaining power again," said Harry, looking at Draco with longing in his eyes. "Will you help me?"

"Potter, listen to me." Igil looked at him and said seriously. "With Dumbledore here, you don't need to worry, you have to believe in Dumbledore's strength. Dumbledore is an existence that even that person is afraid of."

"No, I can't make Voldemort—"

"Harry! Harry, are you all right?" Hermione ran towards them down the path, Hagrid following her, panting.

"There is nothing to talk about, Harry Potter." Igil ended the conversation lightly, "Don't forget that we are Slytherins, we are not those impulsive little lions, you can't convince us."

"..." Harry Potter was silent, he looked at Draco with moist blue eyes, and Draco turned away from him.Slytherin's interests come first, and there must be rewards for what they give. Although they and Harry have gotten along well recently, they will not help him in this matter.

The Sorting Hat sang well:

Maybe you'll be in Slytherin,

Maybe you make a true friend here,

But those cunning and insidious people will do everything possible to

to achieve their goals.

If it's Igil...if it's him...

Draco glanced at Igil, who was looking at him too, and they smiled at each other without saying anything.

"Harry, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, Hermione." Harry barely knew what to say, "The unicorn is dead, Hagrid, in the clearing over there."

He wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone could only be his, even if Voldemort came, Tom hadn't spoken for a long time, the wound was so painful just now, if it was before, he should have woken up, but now he didn't respond at all.

Can't wait any longer, and Tom will...

So, be sure to get it at any cost.
