Chapter 184 Mars is very bright tonight
Dark night.
Under the effect of the illusion spell, the four figures merged with the environment.
They were experienced, like mature hunters. They easily avoided Filch, skillfully avoided the patrolling professor, quickly passed through the castle, and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
When they reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there was a sudden harsh barking of dogs in Hagrid's hut.
"Yaya, what's the matter? Is there anyone outside?"
The oil lamp in the hut was on, Hagrid was wearing a plush coat and exposed the crack of the door, the cold wind was howling outside, but no one was found.
"Damn it, how many times have you howled tonight?"
Hagrid closed the wooden door angrily. He turned his head and found that Fang had slipped into the warm bed while he was away!
Hagrid said angrily, "Get down quickly, Fangya... hey, don't bite, my little baby is sleeping, don't disturb it!"
There was a barking of dogs and the knocking of chairs inside the house.
"Stop making trouble, Fangya."
Hagrid's voice sounded again.
"I see, I know why you are so restless... I will introduce you to Mrs. Norris of Filch when I come back.
It's okay, Bobocha won't know, hehe~"
There was a wretched laugh in the hut, and the oil lamp was soon turned off.
Hagrid fell asleep again.
The four heard snoring inside the house, and cautiously crossed Hagrid's house, across his fields, and into the Forbidden Forest.
After they were completely away, Cedric asked in confusion, "Who is Hagrid's little baby?"
Fred shook his head. "I don't know either. During Christmas, Hagrid was away from home for several days, and when he came back, he became mysterious."
"Did he get another magical creature out of nowhere?" George asked.
The four looked at each other.
This possibility is really great!
Last year, Hagrid brought in the three-headed dog Fluffy, and William wouldn't be too surprised to find him raising a dragon in the hut one day.
"It would be great if it's really a fire dragon." Cedric said flatteredly: "This way you will have the nerves of a fire dragon.
No, Hagrid definitely won't give it, it's better for Thunderbird, so that it can pluck its tail feathers every day. "
Cedric started thinking about farts again.
In fact, he had the Thunderbird's tail feather in his hand, which William asked for from Newt.
Thunderbird tail feathers can be used as wand cores.
Wands that use the feathers of a thunderbird are difficult to master, but they are usually very powerful and suitable for polymorphing.
Most notably, because Thunderbird is extremely sensitive to supernatural dangers, wands made from its feathers are said to be able to pre-empt spells.
Cedric got the Thunderbird's tail feather and almost snatched William's first kiss away in excitement. Fortunately, he dodged in time and kicked Cedric out, which saved his integrity.
The four left the edge of the forest and kept going deeper.In William's hand, there was also a sheepskin map.
That map is not the Hogwarts magic map, but the Forbidden Forest map.
The Forbidden Forest is too big and dangerous.
There are countless tribes of magical creatures here, and some tribes will be particularly dangerous if you accidentally break into them.
For example, the centaur tribe... They are very xenophobic, and any wizard who tries to enter their tribe will be killed.
Hagrid has lived on the edge of the Forbidden Forest for 50 years, and he knows most of the forest like the back of his hand.
Over the years, he has produced a set of commonly used maps, which mark the sites of countless magical creatures and the growth locations of common plants.
Even if Professor Sprout wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to pick plants, he had to be led by Hagrid.
So William asked for such a map from Hagrid to facilitate their wandering in the Forbidden Forest.
Although Hagrid didn't want William to enter the Forbidden Forest, he was even more afraid that they would accidentally break into dangerous places without a map.
So in the end it was given.
William and the others will not go deep tonight, they are just here to pick psychedelic mushrooms.
Psychedelic mushrooms mature during this period, and if they are not harvested in time, the aroma will attract other creatures.
Psychedelic mushrooms are an important part of Felicia, and because of this part, excessive consumption of Felicia will lead to side effects such as blindness and arrogance.
It was dark and silent in the Forbidden Forest.They walked along the marked road signs for a while, reached a fork in the road, and turned to the right again.
This is a small path that gradually disappears into the depths of the black jungle.
"What's that?" Cedric said suddenly, pointing somewhere.
A ray of moonlight fell from among the branches above, illuminating a silver-blue stain of blood on the fallen leaves.
William's wand was lit, and he held it high, the light dispelling the darkness.
Under the light of fluorescent lights, the pool of blood glistened.
William's expression changed. "It's unicorn blood!"
Unicorns are beautiful and pure creatures that are golden when young and turn pure white when fully grown.
This kind of creature is docile, beautiful, and has strong magic. There are very few creatures in the Forbidden Forest that would harm them.
It is a very unusual thing to have so much unicorn blood on the ground.
"That unicorn should be seriously injured." William frowned.
"Should we search separately?" Fred asked.
"Don't separate, unicorns have strong magic, I've never heard of unicorns being harmed before.
So the creatures that can harm unicorns are not simple. "
The four of them are together, and William still has the confidence to protect them. If they are separated, problems will easily occur.
They followed the trail of blood, past a mossy tree stump.William could hear the gurgling of water, and there was evidently a stream somewhere nearby.
They walked more slowly than before, ears pricked up for the slightest sound.
Suddenly, in the vines ahead, they saw something moving.
All four have their wands pointed forward.
The thing got out from the vines and looked directly at William and the others.
It turned out to be a centaur—a human from the waist up, with platinum-blond hair, but a shiny cream horse from the waist down, with a long silver tail trailing behind it.
"Oh, so it's you, Firenze." William heaved a sigh of relief and put down his wand.
"How are you?" Cedric also greeted.
Firenze is a centaur. William and the others have seen it several times before, so they naturally recognize it.
"Good evening, young wizard," said Firenze, his voice low and sad.
"Are you going to attack me with your wand?"
"No, Firenze." William explained, "We found the blood of the unicorn, is there something attacking it?"
"Yes, we centaurs have also discovered it."
Firenze sighed, he raised his head and stared at the sky, exuding melancholy.
He was about to speak when George hurriedly said loudly, "The stars are bright tonight."
"Yes, Mars is bright." Fred grinned.
"Venus is still as bright as ever, brighter than Mars." Cedric said seriously.
"The moon is the brightest, and it is big and round." William said quietly.
Firenze: "..."
