Your confinement begins at eleven o’clock tonight. Look for Mr. Filch in the foyer.

Professor McGonagall

After the loss of points, Eugene waited for the arrival of confinement.

And the day has finally come.

At eleven o’clock at night, Eugene arrived in the foyer and waited for Filch’s arrival.

Malfoy was already waiting here.

I really didn’t see that Malfoy was the first to arrive.

Seeing Eugene, Malfoy subconsciously stood to the side, seemingly not wanting to stay with Eugene.

After a while, Filch came to the foyer with his cat, Lady Loris.

Then Harry, Hermione, and Neville arrived.

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

He squinted at them and continued, “Oh yes… If you ask me, I have to say that hard work and hardship are the best teachers… It’s a pity that they abolished the old-fashioned way of punishment in the past… Hang you by the wrists, hang you from the ceiling, and hang you for days. I still have those chains in my office, and I often give them up, maybe one day they will come in handy… Well, let’s go, don’t try to run away. If you run away, you will have no good fruit to eat. ”

They strode through the pitch-black field.

Eugene heard Neville sniffling non-stop, and must have been frightened by Filch’s words.

Eugene’s gaze glanced over to the Forbidden Forest, as if a shadow was walking through the Forbidden Forest.

The bright moonlight sprinkled down the Forbidden Forest, coating the Forbidden Forest with a silver-gray color.

The clouds in the air fluttered in the wind, shrouding the ground in darkness.

Not far away, Hagrid’s cabin became more obvious.

“Is that you, Filch? Hurry up, I’m going. Hagrid’s voice was heard in the distance, and it turned out that he was not in the hut.

Eugene noticed that Hermione, who was originally nervous, breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Perhaps it was because of seeing Hagrid that she felt at ease.

After all, coming to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night, and it is said that there are many strange creatures, it is impossible not to be nervous.

At this time, Hermione also happened to glance at Eugene.

Seeing Eugene’s relaxed look, she was a little suspicious of whether Eugene was particularly looking forward to being punished.

However, she immediately dismissed this absurd idea.

Who would really like danger?

Of course, there was also Harry, who was also relieved.

“You probably thought you’d have a good time with this idiot, right? Think again, boy – you’re going to succumb to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out unharmed, even if I miscalculate. Filch saw Harry’s face lighten and couldn’t help but be sarcastic about him.

Hearing this, Neville couldn’t help but snort.

Malfoy stopped abruptly.

Hermione’s originally relaxed little face turned pale in an instant.

“Forbidden Forest?” Malfoy spoke first, his voice sounding a little nervous, “We can’t go in in in the middle of the night—there’s everything—I heard there are werewolves.” ”

Neville grabbed Harry’s sleeve tightly in fright and let out a choked sob.

“You can only blame yourself, right?” Filch’s face showed a hint of teasing, and his voice was also joyful, he seemed to have a bit of a sadistic tendency, “You should have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble, didn’t you?” ”

Eugene was a little unaccustomed to Filch’s high-spirited attitude.

This squib is really nasty.

Hagrid strode towards them from the darkness, Tooth following behind.

He also carried a crossbow and a loaded arrow barrel on his shoulder.

“It’s almost time,” Hagrid said, “I’ve been waiting for half an hour.” How’s that, Harry? Hermione—”

“You shouldn’t have been so polite to them, Hagrid,” Filch said coldly, “after all, they came here to be punished.” ”

“That’s why you’re late, aren’t you?” Hagrid frowned at Filch and said, “Been teaching them a lesson, eh? This is not the place for you to lecture people. ”

Filch held back a smile.

“Okay, it’s none of your business here, your task has been completed.” Hagrid’s tone became less friendly, “From now on, I’m in charge here.” ”

“I’ll be back at dawn,” Filch said, “to clean up their mutilation.” ”

He said viciously, turned and walked towards the castle, and the lamp faltered into the darkness.

At this point, Malfoy turned to Hagrid.

“I’m not going into that Forbidden Forest.” He said, his tone mixed with horror.

“If you still want to stay at Hogwarts, you can’t fly.” Hagrid said mercilessly, “You did something wrong and now you have to pay the price.” ”

“Coming in here is an errand for people, not students. I thought we were writing at most, checking something. If my father knew I was doing this, he would—”

Malfoy just moved his dad out.

Indeed, his father has a little bit of power, but he can’t violate the rules.

“Tell you, Malfoy. Hogwarts is like that. Hagrid said gruffly, “Write and check!” What’s in it for you? You have to do something useful or get out. If you think your father would rather you be fired, just pack your bags and go to the castle. Let’s go! ”

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

He didn’t dare to take any risks.

After all, it’s just a little ghost.

“Well,” Hagrid said, “now listen carefully, what we’re going to do tonight is very dangerous, and I don’t want anyone to be in danger.” Come here with me first. ”

He led them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, raised the lamp high, and pointed to a path that gradually faded into the depths of the black forest. They looked into the Forbidden Forest, and a breeze ruffled their hair.

The leaves were shaking and rustling, as if darkness was gradually swallowing them up.

“Look over there,” Hagrid said, “and see that shiny thing on the ground?” Silver? That’s unicorn blood. The unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something, and it hurt very badly. This is the second time in a week. Last Wednesday I found one dead. We are going to try to find that poor unicorn and free it from suffering. ”

Saying that, Hagrid also glanced at Eugene.

He had just suddenly remembered that Eugene had mentioned the Forbidden Forest before, as if he had anticipated what would happen in the Forbidden Forest.

However, with others present, Hagrid did not ask Eugene why he knew that there would be an accident in the Forbidden Forest.

“That injured unicorn thing found us first, what should we do?” Malfoy asked.
