Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 36: Confinement, Forbidden Forest

After coming out of Professor McGonagall's office, Nydia couldn't help but shed tears. After the sorting, no one had discussed that she should go to Slytherin, so she has been working hard to integrate. Gryffindor hopes to be accepted by everyone, but now she doesn't know if everyone will still be able to accept her when she gets up tomorrow.

"Sorry Nidia." Harry saw Nidia crying. Although he was sad and worried now, he still wanted to say something to comfort Nidia.

"If you're really sorry, maybe you shouldn't involve her in your troubles in the future." Draco said and threw a wad of paper on Harry before turning and leaving.

Harry unfolded the ball of paper. It was the reply that Charlie had written to them.

The matter had completely spread the next day, and now few people were willing to pay attention to her. Only Michelle was still by her side as always, and Harry and Hermione, who were also hated by everyone, and finally discharged from the hospital. of Ron. The twin brothers came over and made some jokes with her, saying that she and Harry had overshadowed them in the school and their status was in jeopardy. Nydia didn't know that their intention was to cheer herself up. Anyway, these words made Nidia feel even worse.

The Gryffindor people talked about her being a spy sent by Slytherin, and Slytherin's Pansy sarcastically said that she didn't need to be so blatant if she wanted to switch back to Slytherin. Nydia could only try hard not to listen to these words, force herself to immerse herself in review, and no longer pay attention to Quirrell's movements. Her father was right, since the Sorcerer's Stone has been protected by Dumbledore, Quirrell will It's not that easy to get. If even Dumbledore can't protect the Sorcerer's Stone, then what role can these children play? So she decided not to care about these things anymore.

The punishment of confinement was more like atonement for Nitya, so when she received the note informing her of the confinement, she felt no worries or fear, but felt relieved.

At eleven o'clock at night, they all went downstairs to the foyer, where Filch was already waiting. Next to him stood Draco, who was probably the least affected by this punishment. Nydia did not see anyone in Slytherin scolding him or giving him a look. This may have a lot to do with the fact that Slytherin is now firmly ranked first in the House.

"Follow me." Filch said, lighting a lamp and leading them out. Filch often said things to scare them along the way and lamented that the current punishments were too merciful. They strode through the darkness. The venue, just when Nydia was curious about where they were going, Hagrid's cabin actually came into view.

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

Harry may have been too excited, and his happy mood was reflected on his face, which made Filch somewhat amused. "You probably thought you were going to have a good time with that idiot, right? Think about it again, boy, you are going to the Forbidden Forest! If you can come out safe and sound, then I'm wrong."

Everyone was startled when they heard about the Forbidden Forest, and Draco stopped immediately.

"Forbidden Forest? That's not where we should go. It's a dangerous place. I heard there are werewolves there." Draco's voice lost its calmness.

"You only have yourself to blame, right?" Filch said, pleased with Draco's performance. "You should have thought of these werewolves before you got into trouble, right?"

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.

"It's almost time," he said, "I've been waiting for half an hour. This is not a place for you to lecture others. Your mission is completed, and I will be in charge from now on."

"I'll be back at dawn," Filch said, "to pick up their remains." He finished viciously, and then left.

"I won't go in." Draco turned to Hagrid and said, "It's not the student's place to go in here and do things."

"If you still want to stay at Hogwarts, you have to go." Hagrid said mercilessly, "You have done something wrong and now you must pay the price."

"If my father knew I was doing this, he would..."

"If you think your father is willing to let you be expelled, just go back to the castle and pack your bags!"

"Don't forget, all the people being punished here today are because of your damn dragon." Draco said angrily.

"Okay!" Hagrid paused for a moment, and then he said to Harry, Nydia and Hermione, "I'm sorry, but the school's rules cannot be violated. You must come in with me tonight, but I will do my best to ensure your safety. Come with me here first."

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

"Look over there," Hagrid said. "Did you see that shiny thing on the ground? Silver-white? That's the blood of a unicorn. A unicorn in the Forbidden Forest was injured by something. It's the second time in a week that I've found one dead. We're going to try to find that poor unicorn and put it out of its misery."

When Hagrid said this, Nydia's mind unconsciously recalled Quirrell's figure sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, but she soon gave up the idea. She warned herself that these things would no longer be related to her. It doesn't matter to you anymore, don't worry about it anymore.

"What if the thing that hurt the unicorn finds us first?" Draco asked.

"As long as you are with me or Yaya, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will harm you." Hagrid said, "Don't leave the path. Okay, now we have to split into two groups and follow the bloodstains everywhere. It's all covered in blood, and it's obviously been stumbling around since at least last night."

"I want teeth," Draco said first.

"Okay, but let me remind you, it is a coward." Hagrid continued, "Then, Harry, Hermione and I will go one way, and Malfoy, Nydia and Fang will go another way. If anyone finds the Alone Horned beast, just shoot green sparks. Do you understand? Take out your wands and practice. By the way, if anyone is in trouble, shoot red sparks and we will come to you. Nidia dares to bully you. , just fire red sparks and I will come over and beat him. Okay, everyone, be careful, let’s go.”

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. They walked forward for a while, and then reached a fork in the road. Nydia and Draco took Fang and separated from Hagrid and others, and walked towards the road on the right.
