Connor's Hogwarts

I am the ruler of the dark forest, the guardian of the forbidden forest, the friend of magical animals, the forest guard far away from the world - Mark Child.

I lived in seclusion at the junction of the Forbidden Forest and the Dark Forest, living a peaceful life without fighting against the world. Occasionally I would leave the forest and go to the owner of the Pig Head Bar to drink a few strong drinks and maintain basic interpersonal relationships. I thought my life would continue forever. So calm down.

Until that day, I saw the unicorn lying in a pool of blood!

A unicorn that was attacked, brutally killed, and drained of its blood!

At that moment, the anger made me almost lose my mind! How could someone kill a unicorn so cruelly! ? No, that's not a human at all!

Oh my god, how dare he! How dare he!

That's a unicorn! Such a pure, kind, and beautiful unicorn! How insane is the guy who does this!

I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth, and my eyes were bloodshot, but there was nothing I could do.

The bastard who killed the unicorn has escaped. I can't find any trace of him. I have lost my purpose. My anger is like a joke.

My loss was seen by all my centaur friends.

Yes, my centaur friends, although I was sent by the Ministry of Magic to monitor the centaur tribe and the director of the Centaur Liaison Office, I had no intention of becoming their enemy. In the past year of getting along with them, I also made a friend. No hatred for my centaur friend, his name is Firenze.

I told him about the dead unicorn. He looked up at the stars and said to me: "Killing a unicorn is an extremely cruel thing. You have nothing but want everything." Only a person would commit such a heinous crime."

I gritted my teeth and said bitterly: "That's not worthy of being a human being at all!"

Firenze didn't pay attention to the anger in my tone. He continued: "The blood of a unicorn can extend a person's life, even if you are dying, but you must pay a heavy price for it. In order to save your life, A pure, weak and helpless life was slaughtered, so from the moment its blood touches your lips, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."

I raised my head suddenly: "What do you mean?"

"He will come again, Mark. The fire of his life is on the verge of being extinguished. He can only survive by relying on the blood of unicorns. When he realizes this, he will come back again and seek help from the unicorn." The horned beast stretched out its butcher's knife."

"He dares!" Angry flames burned in my eyes: "I swear in the name of Mark Child! If he dares to hurt the unicorn again, I will crush that bastard to ashes!"

After accepting Connor's vague "test", Hermione was frightened for a whole day.

Before this, she had never thought about the dangers of confinement in school, but after listening to Connor's words, Hermione began to feel better. She could not even concentrate on her review, and she had a very difficult day.

At eleven o'clock that night, Hermione, Harry, and Neville, after saying goodbye to Ron in the common room, went downstairs to the entrance hall. Filch and Malfoy were already waiting there.

"Follow me." Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out. "I think you should think twice about breaking school rules in the future, right?"

Hermione felt that this old-looking administrator seemed very happy, well, he seemed very happy indeed.

Filch looked at them sideways and continued: "Hey, hey, if you ask me, I have to say that hard work and hardship are the best teachers. It's a pity that the school has abolished the old-fashioned punishment method in the past. Hang you. Wrist, hang you from the ceiling for several days. I still have those chains in my office, and I oil them often. Maybe they will come in handy one day. Okay, let's go Well, don't even think about escaping. If you run away, you won't get any good fruits."

Mr. Lake seemed to have really not deceived him. Hermione's face turned pale and she became more and more worried.

They walked through the dark field outside the castle. Neville kept sniffling, Filch held up the lamp and hummed. Hermione noticed that Malfoy's legs kept shaking. Only Harry's face remained normal and his eyes were still. In the reflection, Hermione couldn't tell his emotions.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept coming over to cover the moon, plunging them into darkness. They saw the lights in Hagrid's hut reflected in the distance.

Then they heard a familiar voice shouting in the distance: "Is that you, Filch? Come on, I'm leaving."

The atmosphere around them relaxed. It would be much more reassuring if Hagrid was leading them. At least Hagrid seemed to be more reliable than Filch.

Then Hermione heard Filch's sinister voice again: "Do you think you can play with that idiot for one night? Think about it again, kiddos - you are going to the Forbidden Forest! I really hope you can Come out safe and sound.”

Hearing this, Hermione's heart skipped a beat, Neville couldn't help but groan, and Malfoy also stopped suddenly.

"Forbidden Forest!?" Malfoy's voice was far less calm than usual, "We can't go in in the middle of the night! There's everything in there! I heard there are even werewolves."

Neville gripped Harry's sleeve tightly and let out a choked sob.

"Hey, you can only blame yourself," Filch's voice said happily, "You should have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble, right?"

Hagrid strode toward them out of the darkness, Dogtooth following behind him. Hagrid held his huge stone bow and a full quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder.

But these bows and arrows couldn't bring Hermione the slightest sense of security. After being threatened again and again, it was commendable that she didn't turn around and run back. Senior Lake said that the test was just a safe return. Oh my God, This mission will definitely not be that simple. It’s over. I haven’t seen Miss Knight yet. I can’t die yet QAQ

Hermione was so scared that she didn't even hear clearly anything about the argument between Hagrid and Filch. When she came to her senses, Filch had already walked away with the lamp on, and she only vaguely remembered what he said: "Take care of it." "Wreckage" and so on, the few kidns were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"I will not enter the Forbidden Forest," Malfoy said in horror.

"If you still want to stay at Hogwarts, you have to go." Hagrid said mercilessly, "You have done something wrong and now you must pay the price."

(Ahem, this chapter refers to the original text, and the next few hundred words are not included in the word count)

"It's the servants who work here, not the students. I thought the most we could do was write an inspection or something. If my father knew I was doing this, he would-"

"I'm telling you that's what Hogwarts is like," Hagrid said rudely. "Written and checked!? What good will it do to you? You have to do something useful, or you have to get out. If you think your father If you are willing to be expelled, just go back to the castle and pack your luggage. Let's go!"

Malfoy didn't move. He looked at Hagrid angrily, but then lowered his gaze.

"Okay," Hagrid said, "Now listen carefully, what we are going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don't want anyone to get hurt! Come here with me first."

They came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid raised the lamp high and pointed at a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black forest.

"Look over there," Hagrid said. "Do you see that shiny thing on the ground? Silvery white? That's the blood of a unicorn. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something. It's very heavy. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We have to try to find that poor unicorn and put it out of its misery."

"Looking for the unicorn?! What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first!?" Malfoy's voice contained uncontrollable fear.

"As long as you are with me or Fang, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will harm you." Hagrid said, "Don't leave the path. Okay, now we have to split into two groups and follow the blood trails separately. There are everywhere here. It's all bloody, and it's obviously been stumbling around since at least last night."

"Then I want Fang!" Malfoy said hurriedly, looking at Fang's long and pointed teeth.

"Okay, but let me remind you, it is a coward." Hagrid said, "Then, Harry, Harry and Hermione will go one way, and Malfoy, Neville and Fang will go another way. Well, who of you will take the lead? Are you on Facebook?”

Several people shook their heads. Who would bring Facebook with them when they go out?

"Okay. I still have two old ones here, let's use them first. Here you go. Forget it, Harry, take it, you and Malfoy Tooth go together, Neville gives it to me, remember to keep it on Facebook Get in touch and let’s go!”
