Everyday Players at Hogwarts

The next morning, Harry, Ron and Draco all received notes at the breakfast table.

The three notes are exactly the same:

Your confinement starts at eleven tonight. Find Mr. Filch in the foyer.

Professor McGonagall

"I thought this was arranged by Professor Flitwick or Professor Snape?" Ron complained, poking at the omelette on his plate.

Professor Flitwick has always been kind and not strict, and Professor Snape has always been partial to the students of his own college, not to mention Harry this time.

But now it's clear the consequences of this lockdown are not good.

"Weasley, your ridiculous story didn't make Professor McGonagall think that we have no repentance and increase the punishment!" Draco came over with Crabbe and Goyle and said sarcastically.

Harry suddenly turned pale. He felt that it was probably true, and he was looking for that old guy Filch so late!

But the only thing that gave Harry some comfort was that Ron asked his two brothers to retrieve the Invisibility Cloak from the Astronomy Tower.

Ron's story also prevented others from discussing his "love" with Ron and Draco again.

At eleven o'clock that night, they said goodbye to Ryan and others in the common room, and then went downstairs to the foyer together. Filch was already waiting - and Draco.

"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?" He squinted. Looking at them, he continued to say some threatening words.

These words were much more explicit than those on the night he was caught. It was obvious that such a severe punishment made him see the hope of restoring the old-fashioned punishment - hanging the erring little wizards by their wrists, hanging them from the ceiling, and hanging them up was enough. a few days.

He also emphasized that he still kept the chains in his office and oiled them regularly, speaking with an almost wistful expression.

They strode across the dark field.

Draco didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, he was the son of the school director. How could he be treated like this?

Ron took it a little seriously, his feet were shaking a little, and he leaned on Harry.

Harry, on the other hand, thought about what kind of punishment would require them to go outside.

"You little brats! I'm talking!"

"At this moment, if you are still thinking about love and love, redhead, you are Ronnie Weasley, get away from your man!"

"You are here to be punished, not to fall in love." Filch roared.

Unexpectedly, Filch also believed Rita's bloody love stories, Harry and the three of them thought almost in unison.

Time passes slowly, especially under circumstances like this.

An awkward atmosphere lingered among Harry, Ron, and Draco. Harry also forgot about his speculation about the confinement mission, and Ron stopped shaking.

When Filch saw Ron who was no longer leaning on Harry, he mistakenly thought that his majesty made them stand ready. He woke up his voice and led the way with cheerful steps.

The moonlight was very bright, but clouds kept coming over to cover the moon, plunging them into darkness. Harry could see the lighted windows in Hagrid's cabin. Then they heard a shout in the distance.

"Is that you, Filch? Come on, I'm leaving." That was Hagrid's voice.

The faces of the three Harrys immediately showed expressions of joy.

It's with Hagrid. What kind of confinement is this?

People like Filch are very good at observing other people's expressions in order to get pleasure from torturing others.

His light eyes keenly saw the relief on their faces, "You probably thought you would have a good time with that idiot, right? Think about it again, little devils - you are We’re going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out safe and sound, I’ll be wrong.”

"Oh, is it as dangerous as the troll that Harry and I defeated before?" Draco stopped. Facing the troll before really made Draco realize his own strength.

This made him less frightened than in the original world line, and he would say from time to time - My dad is the school director!

"Just the woods where Fred and George often go?" Ron pursed his lips.

Harry was not worried at all. In his opinion, there was nothing to be afraid of being with Hagrid. It was confinement and it was not about killing them.

"Don't you understand?" Filch emphasized dissatisfiedly, "This is the Forbidden Forest, and there are werewolves!"

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

"You old ghost, you must be trying to scare them. I say your efforts are in vain. The three of them are not characters you can handle!" Hagrid teased unceremoniously.

"I just want them to know how dangerous the Forbidden Forest is, so as not to lose their lives!" Filch said coldly.

After speaking, seeing that it was no good, Filch left with a curse in his eyes.

"Harry, Ron, Draco, you were all caught because of me."

"How about you guys stay in my hut for a while while I go to the Forbidden Forest to take a look myself?" Hagrid said kindly.

Dumbledore, who was hiding at the side, looked surprised. He didn't expect Hagrid to say that.

After all, this is an order given by myself.

But this is not a big problem. He himself is here and everything can be controlled by him.

Ryan, who was also hiding aside, felt that this was normal. The reason why Hagrid in the original world line did not do this was because Draco, who had a bad relationship with them, was there.

What if Draco reported it?

"No need, Hagrid, this is detention." Harry said.

"Fred and George have been bragging about how they were in the Forbidden Forest. I can't miss this time." Ron said excitedly.

"They both went, how can I not go." Draco said confidently.

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

He led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, raised the light high, and pointed to a narrow path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black dense forest.

They looked into the Forbidden Forest, and a breeze blew their hair.

"Look over there," Hagrid said, "see that shiny thing on the ground? Silvery white? That's unicorn blood. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something, and it was badly injured. This is the first time in a week. Last Wednesday, Fizeren said that something was attacking unicorns, but it has not succeeded. We must try to find the poor unicorn and put it out of pain."

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first?" Draco asked with a frown. He knew that unicorns were not as easy to deal with as trolls.

As the magical creatures chosen by Ollivander as the raw material for the wand core - except for dragons and phoenixes, unicorns are very powerful.

"What I said before is still valid. I really don't recommend you to come together. You can just play with Fang in the house. There are food and drinks."

"If you must go, follow me closely." Hagrid emphasized. Perhaps because he found out that he was deceived by the dragon egg, this time he did not do any tricks of splitting the troops into two groups like in the original world line.

"Haha, Dumbledore, let's see how your plan goes this time." Ryan thought happily as he floated in the air.
