Chapter 63 It’s impossible to run quietly

Aaron held a lantern and led Draco and Hermione through the woods.

Yaya and Abe followed the team on both sides. The two pets kept a certain distance and did not invade each other.

"I hope that unicorn is not on this road, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Aaron looked at the specks of silver blood scattered on the road, his face darkened, "But it is very likely that things will backfire."

"It looks like it was seriously injured, and it was still running fast even though it was seriously injured." Draco analyzed and said, "It can't really be a werewolf, can it?"

"No, Hagrid just lied to you.

Werewolves may not be as fast as unicorns. I have paid some attention to this forest, but I have never heard of any rumors of unicorns being hurt or even killed.

So, be mentally prepared, the unicorn may be in danger.

If we happen to be lucky enough to encounter a creature that hurts it, then... it's time to test our physical strength. "

Hermione and Draco both looked down at their shoes to make sure nothing happened to them while running.

"Aaron, I..." Hermione glanced at Draco and took a deep breath after a few awkward seconds, "I apologize to you.

I'm really sorry about what happened last night, I shouldn't have done that. "

Aaron nodded and continued walking forward with the lamp in hand.

"You should say something!" Hermione said aggrievedly. She would rather be scolded than Aaron treat her with this attitude.

It was so bland, he almost treated her like a stranger.

"What do you want me to say?

You knew you shouldn't do it, but you did it anyway.

Do you know how hard I worked to hide Abe's identity?

I carry it with me every day and wrap it up tightly. The college professors and even Dumbledore didn't see any flaws. But I didn't expect that you would expose it in just one night. "

"I'm sorry." Hermione bowed her head and apologized sincerely, her voice aggrieved and her eyes slightly red.

Snapped!

Aaron helplessly held his forehead and shook his head, sighing, "Okay, okay, I forgive you, don't you?"

"Really?" Hermione cried with joy, and the suppressed tears finally broke out at this moment and continued to flow from the corners of her eyes.

She felt a lot more relaxed, and the heavy feeling of being deducted fifty points disappeared.

"Aaron, you just forgive her like that?" Draco asked in confusion, "Is this too soft-hearted?"

“To forgive a wrong, not to blame, not to punish is to forgive.

But forgiveness doesn't mean I will forget about it, do you understand? "

"I seem to understand." Draco nodded in understanding, "Granger, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand." Hermione chuckled.

She knew the truth very well. Forgiving was one thing, but letting go was another.

However, this result was within her expectations. Forgiveness was the prerequisite for repairing the relationship, which was much better than always treating others with a cold face.

Several people continued to walk through the dark, dense forest.

Yaya smelled the smell and walked to the front of the team at some point. The increasing amount of blood on the ground made the three of them feel more gloomy and more nervous.

"Roar!"

Abe suddenly let out a low roar, and the whole dragon became alert, its eyes constantly looking around.

"What happened to it?" Draco asked.

Aaron picked up Abe, pressed the lantern downwards, and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, squat down.

There is an aura of evil, and it is all around us. "

"Gulu!"

Hermione gulped, "You mean, he's around us?

Are you sure you got it right? "

"No, my Abe is still very sensitive to darkness."

At the same time, Yaya also stopped, growling and staring straight ahead.

Thick vines were tangled on the ground, and a large silver-white blood stain was particularly conspicuous under the moonlight. In addition, there were obvious drag marks on the front.

It is not difficult to see that the poor unicorn struggled fiercely here, but the result did not seem to be good.

There was a lower clearing in front of the tree vines, and strange sounds came from the clearing, as if something was being sucked, which made several people feel numb.

"It's right in front, should we go over and take a look?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

"Are you crazy?" Draco lowered his voice and said nervously, "We'd better take a detour, or just turn around and pretend we didn't see anything."

"Send the signal!"

"Is it here?

Aaron, calm down, you must calm down.

We are here for confinement. We are not risking our lives, and we must not be impulsive. "

“But there is a unicorn whose life or death is uncertain inside!

If we die, forget it, we turn around and run away, but what if we survive?

If it is still alive and we leave quietly like this, then it can really only wait for death in despair. Aaron said, taking out his wand, and a green light flashed on it.

“But this is very dangerous, not an ordinary danger.

I never thought we'd encounter something like this at Hogwarts. "

"I know, you run as far away as possible first, and I stay here to send the signal.

It might not be a deterrent if it was far away, and he could leave with the unicorn at any time.

In short, if you see the fire rising, retreat without hesitation. "

"We can't leave you here alone." Hermione said seriously.

“The awareness is good, but if you stay, it’s just a burden.

And, let me tell you something you don’t want to hear, you may not be as fast as me. "

Draco and Hermione looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to retreat quietly, making as little noise as possible.

However, after taking a few steps back, Yaya suddenly sneezed and let out a dull, thunderous bark.

Their movements stopped for a moment, and Aaron looked at the Neapolitan Mastiff in astonishment.

It might not have been a sneeze on purpose, but no one cared at this point if it was.

All they knew was that it was no longer possible to retreat quietly.

This barking has attracted the attention of the creatures in the clearing. The numbing sucking sound suddenly stopped and was replaced by a rustling sliding sound.

A hooded black figure slowly crawled out of the open space and gradually approached the three of them like a ghost.

"Run!" Aaron yelled, and a green fire shot into the sky, followed by a red spark.

Two sparks appeared over the Forbidden Forest almost at the same time, which meant that the unicorn was discovered and the creature that harmed it was discovered.

"But..."

"There is no but." Hermione was interrupted by Aaron before she could finish her words. "Running away at this time is the wisest decision."

Before he finished speaking, Yaya was the first to step on his four short legs, bursting out with extraordinary speed and running as fast as he could.

Draco followed, screaming and running away.

Aaron didn't stand still and used all his energy to feed himself. Why did he insist on exercising? Isn’t it just for today?

But he stopped just a few steps after running out, turned to look at Hermione who was motionless, "Run quickly, what are you waiting for?"

"My legs are weak." Hermione said without tears.

She also wanted to escape from this eerie place quickly, but after the black-robed figure with silver blood on the corner of his mouth came out, her body stopped obeying her orders, and her legs became as heavy as lead.

She had seen a lot of ghosts, but the fear that this black-robed figure brought to her was far beyond what those ghosts could compare to.

Aaron: ...

"Hou Li Crab! It's really the right time for your weak legs."

"I don't want to either!" Hermione choked and said, "Why don't you just run away first and leave me alone."

"Don't cry, no matter what, I can't leave you here as a girl.

After two consecutive nights of bad luck, there was really no one left. "As Aaron said, he took a few steps forward, looked squarely at the man in black robe standing up in front of him, and had some more guesses in his mind.

At this stage of Hogwarts, there is probably only one person who needs to drink the blood of unicorns to stay alive. It seems that the Dark Lord has indeed reached the end of his life.

However, even if the opponent is in this state, he is not sure that he can defeat the opponent, so he can only adapt to circumstances.

"Sure enough, it's still too weak. If he were strong enough, he wouldn't put his hope in others." Aaron murmured in a low voice, his desire for strength reaching its extreme.

"Expelliarmus!"

A dazzling red light flashed and hit the hooded figure.

However, the effect was not obvious. The other party just took two steps back and continued to move forward like a normal person.

"I knew it would be like this." Aaron smiled bitterly, his right hand holding the wand even trembling slightly, and then he yelled, "Expelliarmus."

The man in black robe dismissed it and didn't even bother to hide. However, when the red light was about to hit, he seemed to have sensed some crisis, and his body leaned back in a very strange way to miss the curse.

boom!

The curse hit a birch tree, and the place where it was hit was covered with cracks, extending from the center to all sides, making it very fragile, as if it could be knocked down with just a slight push.

"Split into pieces!" An extremely hoarse voice came from the black robe.

"It's a pity that it didn't hit."

"It's useless even if you hit it." The man in black robe sneered, "You are too weak, and the power of the spell you release is not a threat to me."

"I know." Aaron didn't care. "People who can hunt unicorns will not be defeated by such a curse. I just want to buy some time to escape.

But now it seems that it has failed, but it doesn't matter. "
