……

Draco had several silver brooches with finely carved small snakes, which were quite inconspicuous among his various ornate gemstone brooches, but I didn't expect that they all had defensive functions!

At ten forty, Draco left the common room on time.

"Be careful, don't mess with Potter and the others, you're only alone!" I stood at the door of the common room and explained worriedly.

"Okay, I know them better than you!" Draco raised his hand, buttoned his cloak, and strode forward.

I went back to the dormitory with a restless mind, and turned on the bed for several hours before I fell asleep...

Here, Draco didn't show it on the face, but he was worried in his heart.

Filch was already waiting in the hall when Draco arrived.

The administrator had a strange smile on his gloomy face, and held a lamp in his hand.

At exactly eleven o'clock, the Gryffindor trio entered the hall.

"Come with me." The administrator Filch said, lighting up the lamp in his hand, and leading them out, "I think you should think twice if you want to violate the school rules in the future, don't you, um?"

He squinted at Draco and the others, and continued, "Oh, yeah... If you ask me, work and hard work are the best teachers... It's a pity they abolished the old fashioned punishment of the past The way... hang you by your wrists, hang you from the ceiling for days. I still have those chains in my office, I often oil them, maybe they will come in handy someday... ...Okay, let's go, don't even think about running away. If you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat."

Apart from the starlight outside the castle, there was only a lamp in Filch's hand for illumination, and Filch was beside him muttering, what are you going to do outside the castle at this time...

Draco's heart finally tightened up, and he leaned closer to Potter calmly.

Everyone followed the caretaker as they strode across the pitch-dark grounds.

Weasley shivered beside him.

Even though he was actually a little scared, Draco still laughed without hesitation, "Hey, I'm scared, Mole!"

"Malfoy, shut your mouth!" Weasley shouted back.

"Oh, whose mouth smells worse than a mole's..."

"Shut up, you boys!" Filch snapped.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept drifting over to cover the moon, and the group of them fell into darkness. Now they could see the lighted windows of Hagrid's cabin.

Then they heard a familiar shout in the distance, "Is that you, Filch, hurry up, I'm leaving!"

Under the illumination of the lights, one could clearly see a cheerful smile on Potter's face, fully expressing his relieved mood.

Filch sneered and said, "Potter, you probably thought you were going to have a good time with that idiot. Think again, boy—you're going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out safe and sound, I guess wrong."

Draco stopped abruptly, "We can't go in the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night - there's everything in there - I heard there were werewolves."

Weasley grabbed Potter's sleeve and let out a cry of horror.

"Impossible, the school rules say that students are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest!" Granger said quickly.

"Quack, Dumbledore ordered it himself!" Filch let out a strange smile, and said gloatingly, "That can only be blamed on yourselves, shouldn't you have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble? "

Draco immediately thought of Sharon's words in his mind, and as soon as he moved his hand, the wand appeared in his hand.

Hagrid strode toward them from the darkness, Fang following.Hagrid carried his huge crossbow, and a full quiver slung over his shoulders.

Draco's mind was spinning so fast that he didn't even notice the argument between Hagrid and Filch.

Granger had a disappointed expression on his face, but no one knew what this clever little girl was thinking...

When Draco came back to his senses, Filch had already left with a lamp.

"Well," said Big Hagrid, "now listen carefully, what we are going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want to put anyone in danger. Come with me here first."

"Principal..." Granger said hesitantly.

In a Muggle school, it is absolutely impossible to let students take risks, or the headmaster would order students to violate school rules like this... This in itself is extremely unreasonable!

"What's the matter, Hermione?" Hagrid asked, looking down.

Granger pursed his lips and shook his head vigorously, his thick brown hair was thrown flying everywhere.

Hagrid didn't care much at all, and led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, held up the lamp high, and pointed to a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black jungle, with a breeze blowing their hair.

"Look over there," said Hagrid, "see that shiny thing on the ground? It's silver and white? That's unicorn blood. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was wounded by something, very badly." Heavy. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We will fight to find that poor unicorn and bring it out of its misery."

What can hurt a unicorn, a unicorn is a symbol of beauty and purity, unless it is a crazy person or a dark creature, no one will be willing to hurt that kind of creature...

Draco couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.

"Don't leave the trail. Well, it's getting late, and now we're going to split up and follow the blood. There's blood everywhere, apparently, it's been stumbling around since at least last night Wander!"

"I'm with Potter!" Draco said quickly.

"No, Harry won't be with Slytherin bastards!" Weasley sneered back.

"Hmph, then, you mean to let Granger and Miss join me?" Draco raised his chin, fully expressing his disdain.

"Impossible, Ron, you and Hermione are in the same group, and Malfoy and I have Fangs!" Harry said hastily.

"No, that, big dog is a coward!" Draco said quickly.

"Okay, it's decided like this, I will go one way with Ron and Hermione, and Malfoy and Harry will go the other way with Fang." Hagrid said roughly, "If anyone finds the unicorn, use the Wands shoot green sparks, see, get your wands out and practice!"

Draco raised his wand and was the first to fire a flash of bright green sparks.

"By the way - if anyone's in trouble, fire a red spark and we'll all come to you - well, be careful everyone - let's go." Hagrid looked at the kids and tried it once, Stride into the Forbidden Forest.

It was dark and silent in the Forbidden Forest.

They walked for a while, and they came to a fork in the road. Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid took the right path, and Draco, Harry, and Fang took the left path.

"Listen, Potter, I hope you know a little bit about unicorns..."

Seeing the bewildered expression on Potter's face, Draco's inner uneasiness expanded even more.

"In the magic world, wizards believe that unicorns are a symbol of beauty and purity. No wizard will go back and hurt a unicorn, and it is such a cruel method..."

"In other words, he is definitely a very, very bad wizard!" Harry's face also began to look ugly.

Draco nodded impatiently, "So, we must be careful, I'm in charge of the front, and you are in charge of the guards behind!"

Draco held his teeth in one hand and held his wand tightly in the other. Harry leaned tightly on Draco behind him, staring nervously behind him.

Then, within three minutes, the formation was broken when Harry tripped over a protruding tree root on the path.

"I can't believe it..." Draco's eyes widened angrily, swallowing the rest of the sentence in his stomach.

...Such a person actually defeated the person who couldn't even say his name...

"Oh, of course no one can walk backwards while being vigilant!" Harry limped up, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Draco curled his lips, stuffed the chain with the teeth into Harry's hand, and leaned against Harry's back with a turn of his heel...

They walked in silence, looking around quickly.

Now and then a ray of moonlight fell from among the branches above, illuminating a silver-blue stain of blood on the fallen leaves.

"Hey, you said..." Harry hesitated, "Could it be a werewolf who killed the unicorn?"

"I don't know, but unicorns are powerful magical creatures." Draco said impatiently, "Watch your surroundings, Potter!"

The two walked vigilantly past a moss-covered tree stump. The sound of gurgling water could be heard here. Obviously, there was a stream somewhere nearby.On the winding path, there are still spots of unicorn blood.

After a long period of high mental tension, the two underage wizards were a little tired.

"Listen, Potter!" Draco whispered nervously, raising his wand.

Something whizzed and slid on the fallen leaves nearby with a sound like a cloak dragging across the ground.

Fang Fang whimpered suddenly, broke free from Harry's hand, and fled to the side.

"Tooth..." Harry exclaimed in surprise.

Draco quickly covered Harry's mouth, and pulled him to hide behind a tall oak tree next to him.

Harry also understood, and closed his lips tightly.

The sound gradually died away.

"What's that?" Harry whispered, trying to keep his breath down.

"I don't know, let's inform Hagrid!" Draco said softly.

"No, we don't know if it was something that hurt the unicorn, maybe just a normal creature in the Forbidden Forest," Harry retorted.

If so, what a shame!

The two continued to back to back, walking forward vigilantly with each other, walking more slowly than before, with their ears upright to catch the slightest sound, and they did not dare to blink their eyes.
