Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 25 Punishment and Forbidden Forest

I was given a severe lesson by someone not long ago, but I couldn't retaliate when I asked for it.Of course, he could not get revenge.

Then he finally understood the meaning of the last sentence he heard that day.

He was bitten by the dragon.

After only one night, his hands swelled twice as much as they were before, and the wound turned into an ugly green color. It was obvious that the dragon's teeth were poisonous.

"It seems that I can't hold a pen with this hand for a week." Ron said, "I understand the meaning of that guy's last sentence. This is really the most terrifying creature I have ever encountered." He said with lingering fear. .

"What to do, Madam Pomfrey will definitely find out." Hermione was anxious.

"I insisted that it was a dog bite, so don't worry." Ron said relieved, as if it was not him who was bitten.

"Malfoy has a letter." Harry took out a letter and said solemnly.

"What does the letter say?" Ron asked.

"He told us to take the Ridgeback to the tallest tower at midnight on Saturday, and someone would come to meet us." Harry said slowly.

"Midnight!" Ron yelled, and then said: "This is a conspiracy! He wants us to be deducted points, maybe we go there without anyone, and then we are discovered by Mrs. Lorice! Gryffindor’s points were all deducted."

"Ron." Harry said solemnly."Now we can only trust him. Thinking about it carefully, if he wants to report, we would have been punished a long time ago, and we also have a tactic, right?" Harry also laughed at the end.

"Invisibility Cloak!" Hermione said excitedly.

"The invisibility cloak is enough to cover the two of us and Norbert." Harry nodded.

They have had anxious days, and Norbert is like a hot potato that is hard to get rid of. They just feel that they have never looked forward to Saturday so much.

It was a dark, overcast night, and they arrived at Hagrid's cabin a little late, because Pepy Ghost was playing tennis against the wall in the hall, and they had to wait until he left.

Hagrid prepared many mice for his little dragon, some brandy, and even a teddy bear.He packed these things into a big crate.

"Goodbye, Norble!" Hagrid whispered, "Mom won't forget you!" Harry and Hermione covered the crate with invisibility cloaks, and then went under the robes.

There were surprises along the way.

The steep spiral staircase leading to the tower seems to be the easiest part of the world.They have been under the cold night sky before taking off the invisibility cloak.How nice, finally I can breathe freely again.Hermione also did a quick step dance.

"Calm down, Hermione," Harry reminded."We haven't succeeded yet."

After waiting for about ten minutes, several broomsticks suddenly fell from the sky.

"He didn't cheat us." Harry was determined.

"Are you two friends of Master Draco?" asked one of the tallest men.Obviously he is the leader.

"Yeah." Although he didn't want to admit it, Harry nodded.

"Okay, leave it to us now." Then these people tied a few ropes to Norbert's body, as if woven into a net, so that it could be taken away securely.

"Happy cooperation," said the leader.

"Thank you very much." Harry nodded vigorously.Afterwards, these people mounted their broomsticks and flew into the silent night sky.

Harry and Hermione quietly walked down the spiral staircase, finally getting rid of the heavy burden of Norbert, their moods were as light as their hands.The dragon is gone, they finally don't have to worry anymore.

When the distance to success is closest, the most people fall.When the two of them stepped into the corridor, they saw Filch's nasty face.

"It's over." Harry wondered why Filch could see Hermione and himself, but he touched his body and found that the cloak was forgotten upstairs.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Early the next morning, when the Gryffindor students passed the huge hourglass that recorded the College Cup score, they thought something went wrong.How could they suddenly lose a hundred points less than yesterday? Then things slowly spread: Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter, the hero of two Quidditch matches, caused them to lose. With so many scores, he, there is another stupid first-year student.

Harry was once one of the most popular and admired characters in the school, but now he suddenly became a target.Even the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff did not give him a good face, because everyone had always wanted to see Slytherin lose the Academy Cup.No matter where Harry went, people pointed at him, and didn't lower his voice when he said something insulting him.On the other hand, whenever he passed by the Slytherins, they clapped, whistled and cheered."Thank you, Potter, you helped us a lot!"

Only Ron was with him.

"In a few weeks, they will forget all about it. Fred and George have been losing points since they enrolled in school, and people still like them very much." Ron soothed.

"But they never lost a hundred points at once, right?" Harry said.

Ron stopped speaking.

They now think that the exam is such a wonderful thing, so that they can temporarily forget their mistakes, he also went to find Wood to resign as a seeker, but he did not agree.

He made up his mind to stop being nosy, he would use his study to paralyze himself, he tried his best to memorize the complex potion formulas, remember those magic and spells, remember the date of major magic inventions and goblin rebellion, as if this Those words and white eyes would disappear from his mind.

He made up his mind that he would never be nosy again, but this principle was soon broken again.

He heard Snape threaten Quirrell again, and this time Snape finally succeeded.

In the library.

"I'm going to stop him." Harry said.

"Harry, I think we should take care of ourselves now." Ron pondered his own words.

"I think so too." Hermione received weakly.

"Even if I get fired, I won't let him succeed." Harry clenched his fists.

Hearing Harry made such a determination, Ron said: "Die or die. The big deal is to drop out of school. I'll help you. Who calls us friends?"

Hermione bit her lip, as if she was struggling in her heart, and finally she said nothing.

The next morning, Harry and Hermione both received the note at the breakfast table.The two pieces of paper are exactly the same: your confinement starts at eleven tonight.Find Mr. Filch in the foyer-Professor McGonagall.

The endless rolling eyes and spurning made Harry almost forget that he had to accept the punishment of confinement. Harry thought that Hermione would complain that it took up her review time, but she didn't. She felt it all deserved— -You should be punished if you make a mistake.

At 11 o’clock that night, after bidding farewell to Ron in the common room, the two of them went to Filch’s office to accept the punishment. They were very uneasy along the way. They didn’t know what punishment they would receive. When they walked slowly Near Filch's office, under the dim light, they also saw a person who would never be here-Malfoy.

"Come with me." Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out. "I think you have to think twice if you want to violate school rules in the future, don't you, huh?"

"Why is he here?" Harry asked loudly.Hermione was also very surprised at the moment, she lowered her head and intertwined her fingers, not knowing how to face him.

Filch said in his gloomy voice: "Professor McGonagall is worried about you. He has found a bodyguard for you. It's really strange. It's clear that he can still have a bodyguard after being punished." Filch looked a little unbelievable.

"Actually, I'm not so happy." Malfoy shrugged. "But I have to get my wand back, don't I?" As he spoke, he turned his hand twice.Obviously he also needs to pay some price to get the wand back.

Then they strode across the dark field.Hermione asked Harry quietly, "Where are we going?"

Harry muttered quietly, "I don't know either."

"Don't guess, we are going to the Forbidden Forest." Malfoy seemed to have heard their conversation and said lightly.

As night fell, the moonlight was very bright, but there were continuous clouds floating over to cover the moon, causing them to plunge into darkness, and the night wind with some moisture and cold touched them, and several people couldn't help but shudder.Especially Harry and Hermione, they were shocked by the news. The Forbidden Forest is equivalent to a forbidden land among many ordinary students, symbolizing danger and terror.

"It is said that there are werewolves in there," Harry whispered.

"Heh." Malfoy smiled sarcastically, "More than that, maybe we can all meet the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, Night Sky, Unicorn, and Horseman. It depends on luck." Malfoy added in his heart. One sentence: "I might meet Voldemort again today."

With each word Malfoy uttered, Hermione's face turned pale. She looked at Malfoy in confusion, as if trying to find some fear in his face, but found nothing.She couldn't help thinking: "Is he not afraid at all?"

"I can tell you some good news," he said suddenly.

"Mr. Draco, are you talking too much?" Filch interrupted him.

"Oh, good." Malfoy said nothing.

Of course Harry and Hermione quickly learned what the good news was, and they saw Hagrid striding towards them from the darkness, Fang Fang following behind.Hagrid carried his huge crossbow with a full quiver on his shoulders, and Harry and Hermione couldn't help but smile rare when they saw him.

"Oh, are you here to play? You are still so happy?" Filch seemed to be unhappy. The dumb cannon's identity made his mind twisted. He said viciously, "There is something you can feel in the forbidden forest. "He left such a curse-colored sentence, and staggered towards the castle with the lantern, and left here.

"Listen carefully now. What we are going to do tonight is very dangerous. I don't want anyone to be in danger. Come here with me first." Hagrid led them to the edge of the forbidden forest and turned the lights on. He held it high and pointed to a path of sheep intestines gradually concealing into the deep black forest.They looked into the forbidden forest, and a breeze was blowing through their hair.

"Look over there," Hagrid said. "Do you see that shiny thing on the ground? Silver? That's unicorn blood. A unicorn in the forbidden forest was hurt by something, hurt It’s very heavy. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We have to fight to find the poor unicorn and get it out of pain."

"Now we have to divide the soldiers into two paths and look for them along the bloodstain. As long as you follow me and Yaya, you will not be hurt by the creatures of the Forbidden Forest..." Hagrid said with some pride.

"I'm afraid that there are more than the original creatures in the Forbidden Forest." Malfoy's voice came from behind Hagrid.

Hagrid shuddered when he heard this voice. He tried his best to ignore Malfoy just now. The communication with him last time was definitely not pleasant, but he still said coarsely, "So we have to be more careful, you Just take your teeth."

After all, the black hound behind Hagrid licked his paw, not sure if he was satisfied or dissatisfied with the decision.

"By the way, it is a coward, you still have to pay attention to it yourself." Although Hagrid had a very bad impression of him, he still reminded.

"You don't need to worry about it," Malfoy said lightly, then turned his head and walked to the fork on the right.

"Harry, Hermione, let's go this way." Hagrid used his huge body to lead the two of them, almost covering the faint moonlight, and the two of them were completely dark.

They walked in silence, staring at the ground.From time to time, a moonlight shed from the branches above, illuminating a silver-blue blood stain on the fallen leaves.

Harry could see that Hagrid looked anxious.

"Could the werewolf kill the unicorn?" Harry asked.

"It won't be so fast," Hagrid said. "It's not easy to catch a unicorn. They are such animals with strong magic. I have never heard of unicorns being hurt before."

They walked past a tree stump covered with moss.Harry could hear the gurgling water, and obviously there was a stream somewhere nearby.On the winding road, there are still spots of unicorn blood.

"Are you all right, Hermione?" Hagrid asked in a low voice."Don't worry, since it hurts so badly, it can't go very far. We will be able to - no, hide behind that tree!"

There was a slight noise in the distance. It was a centaur coming over. Above the waist was a man, with red hair and beard, but below the waist was a shiny brown-red horse with a long trail behind. Red tail.

Hermione and Harry opened their mouths wide, stunned by the creature in front of them.

As for Malfoy, there are thick bushes all around him, and Yaya only dared to follow him far behind, not close, as if there was something dangerous in front of him.

"Obviously I came to be a bodyguard for people, but now it is a dog who is protected." Malfoy thought to himself, but he did not dare to slack in his heart. The danger ahead is an unpredictable horror. He is likely to be alone today. Face the most powerful black wizard in the world.

The woods are getting denser and denser, and he keeps walking through it. There are some sharp protruding branches. He must always go around carefully so as not to scratch himself. As he goes deeper and deeper, suddenly his eyes shine through an ancient tree. The tangled branches of the oak tree can be seen in front of a clearing with white light emitting from the ground.

Seeing this, he couldn't help tensing his body, suddenly, a bush at the edge of the clearing was shaking.Then, a hooded figure flashed out of the shadows, crawling slowly on the ground, like a beast approaching.Harry and Malfoy tightly controlled themselves to keep calm, and Yaya was now frightened.The figure in the cloak came to the unicorn, lowered his head, pointed at the wound on the side of the corpse, and began to drink its blood.

"Who is it?" The dark shadow seemed to perceive the presence of people around him. He looked around and found the direction. He floated towards Malfoy's location, like a ghost, making it impossible to see his walking. route.

"It's terrible perception." Malfoy felt coldly.

"Hiss..." The figure slowly came in front of Malfoy, making a sound similar to a snake's cry, which made people have goosebumps. Fang had already been scared to the ground and shivered constantly. , The face of the person under the cloak was wrapped tightly, making people unable to see the true face.

"My father is right, I finally found you, Lord Dark Lord!" Malfoy's face suddenly showed a fanatical expression, his tone overflowing with joy.

"Oh? Young wizard, let me think about whose child you are." The original Voldemort was ready to start, but was dispelled by this sentence."Platinum-gold hair, um, you are Lucius's child." The dark shadow under the cloak made a cold and harsh voice, with a bit of surprise in his emotions.Voldemort's sight was not affected in the night."What's your name?" He asked, trying to be kind to himself, but this feeling didn't match his hoarse voice.

"My name is Draco, Draco Malfoy. Dear Dark Lord." Malfoy tried to make himself look enthusiastic. He mobilized the muscles of his face and showed a fanatical expression to make himself appear religious.

"Oh, it's unbelievable." The Dark Lord under the cloak looked a little surprised, and he continued: "I didn't expect the most loyal Death Eater to be Lucius. It's ironic." Perhaps he thought of his former subordinate, Mal Fukui showed his sarcasm with an ugly smile under his cloak.

"You are very good," Voldemort said.

"My father never gave up looking for you!" Malfoy began to smear his father. "He firmly believes that you will come back one day."

"Master Dark Lord, Harry Potter and the others are around here now, we can..."

"Your loyalty is enough to make most Death Eaters ashamed." Voldemort interrupted Malfoy. His voice was a little ethereal, but he could hear him satisfied now, "However, I have more important things to do now. Do it." After speaking, Voldemort sneered: "The lucky savior will let him live a little longer."

"Who invaded our territory?" Suddenly the two felt the ground shaking, and the roaring sound came from afar. On the other side of the clearing, Malfoy saw the flying dust being stirred up. .

"These disgusting centaur," Voldemort said in disgust."When I get rid of this ridiculous body, I must teach them well." "You are very good." Voldemort repeated this sentence to Malfoy, and said nervously: "I look forward to our next time. Meet each other." Then the shadow disappeared into the void, and there was no trace of it.

"If it can, it would be best to never see again, but it seems unlikely." Malfoy couldn't help thinking.

The speed of the centaur walking on four legs is naturally very fast. In the blink of an eye, a small group of centaur rushed to his side and raised their weapons.

"Invader, tell me your name and purpose." The leading centaur had platinum hair, surprisingly blue eyes, and the body of a silver-maned horse. He questioned Malfoy and raised it. Took the spear in his hand.

"Ferenzer, wait, it's all a misunderstanding!" Hagrid ran from behind them profusely, followed by Hermione, Harry, and several other centaurs.

"Oh my God, what happened here?" Hagrid looked to the ground, only to see a unicorn that had been dead for a long time. Its slender legs maintained the posture it had when it fell, unnaturally straightening; Its mane was spread on the dark fallen leaves, white as a pearl.

"Is this a student in your school? It seems that he killed a unicorn." The leading centaur had a bad tone. Most of the races in the forest maintained friendly exchanges, let alone symbolized Pure and noble unicorns, this is the most popular group.

"No, no,".Hagrid shook his huge head and quickly denied it."He just split up with us. You see, Ya Ya was assigned to him by me. He just happened to come across its body."

The leading centaur thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The first-year student should not be able to kill a unicorn, but he invaded our territory, and today's celestial phenomenon is also very wrong." The centaur looked up at the stars in the sky, "This is an ominous sign!" it added.

"It's all a misunderstanding," Hagrid said in an exaggerated tone.Although he was dissatisfied with Malfoy's previous behavior, his loyal nature made him automatically act like this.

"Let me see." The centaur named Firenze didn't seem to want to talk about the subject anymore. He moved his gaze behind Hagrid, saw Harry, and saw the bright and prominent lightning on his forehead. Shaped scars.

"Hello, the Potter boy." The centaur said in a friendly tone.

"Hello, do you know me?" Harry nodded cautiously, a little afraid of this magical creature.

"Do you know what a unicorn blood can be used for?"

"I don't know," Harry said, startled when he heard this weird question, "We only used its horns and tail hair in potions class."

"This is because killing a unicorn is an extremely cruel thing." Firenze said, "Only people who have nothing and want everything will commit such a heinous crime. The blood of a unicorn. You can continue your life, even if you are dying, but you have to pay a heavy price for it. In order to save your life, you slaughtered a pure, weak and helpless life, so from its blood touching your lips From that moment, what you have will be a half-dead life, a cursed life."

Harry uttered his doubts aloud, "If you have to be cursed for the rest of your life, it's better to die, right?"

"Yes," Firenze agreed, "unless you just use it to prolong your life so that you can drink another thing—a thing that rejuvenates you completely and a spell—a kind of Something immortal. Mr. Potter, do you know what Dong XC is in school at this moment?"

"Sorcerer's Stone!" Hermione beside him exclaimed.

"I should have thought of it, who else would be beside him?" Harry hugged his head reproachfully. Except for Voldemort, no one would deliberately want to rise again and hold onto his life. He would not be afraid of curses. , Because he himself is a curse."I actually thought that Snape had just made the Philosopher's Stone for the purpose of turning the stone into gold." He hammered his head fiercely, seeming to blame himself for his stupidity.

"After the astrological guidance, I can only give you these hints." Firenze said slowly, and then paused: "You can go back today. Humans are not welcome in the forest now." He issued an eviction order.

"Okay, these kids should go back, too." Hagrid didn't seem to figure out what was going on, but he knew it was time to go back to school. Harry and Hermione followed him in a muddle, not knowing what they were thinking.

Suddenly, Harry, who was walking on the road, seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and asked Malfoy who had been silent for a long time: "Will you tell the news?"

Malfoy said with a faint smile, "Who knows."

No one saw Hermione's lip that was about to bite.
