Chapter 5 Forbidden Forest(1/2)
Section 1
"Soren. Wait a minute" Harry called out from behind, Ron and Hermione followed him.
"What's the matter?" Sauron turned around.
Harry pulled him to a corner and whispered, "Last night, just after the Quidditch game, I saw Snape, who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest while everyone was having supper."
Soren looked at him strangely, "So what, Forbidden Forest is just for students. As a professor, Snape is his freedom to go wherever he goes."
"No, I mean I saw him talking to Professor Quirrell, who was threatening Professor Quirrell, who wanted to force Quirrell to help him get the Philosopher's Stone. He asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lu Wei—and mentioned Quirrell's "secret trick"—we guessed that besides Lu Wei, there were probably other mechanisms guarding the stone. There were probably a lot of magical witchcraft. Maybe Quirrell cast some anti-black magic spells, and Snape needed to remove them—"
"Enough, you are really amazing. You even know about the Philosopher's Stone." Sauron interrupted Harry coldly, ignoring Harry's surprise, "I said this has nothing to do with you, don't cause trouble for yourself."
"But Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, we have to stop him." Ron said angrily, "How can you not care?"
"Stop it, it's up to you?" Sauron looked at Ron disdainfully and turned and left.
"How could he do this?" Hermione said, noticing that Ron was so angry.
"I'll talk to him." Harry glanced at Ron and chased him in the direction where Sauron left.
Sauron found Snape in the basement where he was taking Potions class. He was dealing with some potions. When he noticed someone came in, Snape looked up and found it was Sauron. He frowned and said coldly, "What's wrong with you, Potter?"
Sauron waved his hand and brought the classroom door and said in an equally cold tone, "Have you gone to find Kiro?"
Snape glanced at him, "I don't think it has anything to do with you, Mr. Porter."
"Hmph." Sauron snorted coldly, "I don't care what you do. I just hope you will be careful next time you go to find that trash Kilow, don't be discovered. I don't want your plan to ruin it because of your carelessness." After that, Sauron pushed the door and walked out. At this time, he saw Harry coming down the stairs.
"What are you doing here?" Sauron asked.
"Oh, I'll follow you, I want to say, you've just gotten over that, you shouldn't have said that to Ron."
Sauron looked at Harry and raised his eyebrows, "You ran over from all over to tell me this? Well, okay, I apologize for this. Now, hurry up and go to class." After that, he walked up the stairs, not paying attention to Harry's complicated expression when he looked at his back.
Harry found Ron and Hermione in the library, and Harry sat with them. Harry hesitated for a long time and told the two of them what he heard outside the underground classroom door.
"No, are you sure you heard it clearly, Harry?" Hermione said in a surprised tone, "I mean, how is this possible."
"That's the truth, Hermione." Ron looked like he knew it was, "They were in the same group, Snape and Sauron, and they all had the stolen Philosopher's Stone."
"Don't talk nonsense, Ron, Dumbledore trusts Sauron, and Harry also said that Sauron was still helping Dumbledore those nights." Hermione said angrily.
"But Dumbledore still trusts Snape." Ron was dissatisfied.
"I believe Sauron," said Harry, "but I'm sure I didn't listen. I think there might be something we don't know." Harry seemed very distressed.
"We can go and ask Hagrid, and he will probably tell us."
The three of them came to Hager's hut and found that Hager was hatching a dragon egg that had won from a stranger. They first talked about the dragon's issue excitedly, and finally, they asked Hager about guarding the Philosopher's Stone. Hager was surprised that they knew about the Philosopher's Stone, but in the end they still said the information the three wanted to know.
"Well, it's okay to talk to you - let me think about it - Dumbledore borrowed Luwei from me - and asked several other teachers to cast magic... Professor Sprout - Professor Flitvie - Professor McGonagall -" He counted with his fingers, "Professor Snape - of course, Dumbledore himself also cast magic. Wait a minute, I forgot one person. Oh, by the way, it's Sauron."
"Soren?!" The three of them couldn't believe their ears, and Ha asked in a very surprised tone, "Hag, are you saying that my brother is also involved in the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Well, yes, he's amazing, right? You know he's just in the first grade." Hager said.
"Then you know what he did, Hagrid," Harry asked.
"Well, I can't tell you about this, you know too much. You know, Dumbledore doesn't want students to know about the Magic Stone, and your brother has told me not to tell you." Haeger said apologetically, "Okay, go back to the castle quickly, I'll send you it. You can see the little dragon out of the shell in two days."

Section 2
Sauron was in a bad mood, the reason was very simple. Harry and his two children got into trouble again. Hagrid made a dragon and kept it secretly in his cabin. Later, the dragon was too big and could not hide it anymore, so he had to give it to Ron's brother Charlie, who studied dragons in Romania. Harry Hermione ran up the tower in the middle of the night and gave the dragon to the people who came to take over. As a result, Professor McGonagall was caught and deducted 50 points for each of them, and sentenced them to confinement. Ibicos was in a bad mood, and Malfoy was caught with Harry and the other three, and the treatment was the same as them. Ibicos scolded Malfoy, not only because he was deducted points, but because he lost Slytherin's face - it's not impossible to do bad things, but not being able to be caught. This only shows your incompetence.
"Professor Dumbledore, Harry and the others will go to the Forbidden Forest tonight. Can I go with them?" Sauron asked, begging, "I know this is not in line with the rules, but I am really worried."
"Harry and the others are with Hager, so there shouldn't be any problems," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Improvement, Professor," said Soren, "I really can't believe in Hager."
"Okay. You go to Hagne tonight first, and I'll notify other professors later."
"Then. I say goodbye to the professor and wish you a happy life."
In the evening, Sauron came to Haeger's cottage. Haeger seemed a little guilty when he saw it was Sauron.
"Hagge, what happened in the woods?" Sauron asked.
"Last Wednesday I found the body of a unicorn in the woods. Yesterday I found another unicorn was injured. It was very injured. We have to find it." Haeger said worriedly.
"Unicorns won't be hurt easily. Could it be that something in the woods attacked them?" Sauron said with a frown, "and whatever it is, this thing is dangerous."
"I don't know. I've visited the forest before, but I didn't find it."
"Can they be the men in the forest?"
"Impossible." Haig said in a muffled voice, "I know them. Although they are not very friendly to outsiders, they will never hurt unicorns."
"Forget it, whatever it is, I hope we won't meet tonight." Sauron said, "Let's go out, Harry and the others are coming."
"Okay, let's go. Come over and go out." Hagrid put on her coat, took a crossbow and lantern, and left the cottage with Sauron.
Outside the cabin, Sauron and Hager waited for Harry and the others to come. After a few minutes, Felch brought Harry, Hermione, Neville and Malfoy over. The few people were surprised to see Sauron also, and Harry and Malfoy performed the most obviously.
Hager told the people about the task tonight, and everyone seemed very scared. Malfoy's face turned pale and wanted to say something. Sauron glared at him, and Malfoy immediately lowered his head.
They came to the forbidden forest, and a path of sheep intestine gradually disappeared into the depths of the black dense forest appeared in front of them. Looking into the forbidden forest, Hagrid pointed to a shining silver light in the distance and said, "Did you see the kind thing on the ground? It's the blood of a unicorn. Something hurts the unicorn, we have to find it."
"What if the thing that hurts the unicorn finds us first?" Malfoy asked, his voice filled with irrepressible fear.
"Nothing can hurt you with us, Malfoy, don't be embarrassed here," Sauron said with a frown.
Malfoy looked at Sauron nervously and nodded in fear.
"Okay, we have to act as soon as possible. We will divide our troops into two groups and look for the bloodstains separately." Haeger said.
"Harry, Draco, you two are in the same group as me, Hagrid, you can bring the others together," said Sauron.
"Well, that's it. Neville and Hermione and I go the same way. Sauron, you'd better bring your teeth so that the animals in the woods won't hurt you. If anyone finds a unicorn, fire green sparks, understand? Take out your wands and practice—by the way—If anyone is in trouble, fire red sparks, we'll come to you—Okay, be careful—Let's go."
The forbidden forest was dark and silent. They walked a little while inside and reached the fork, Neville, Hermione and Hager took the left road, Sauron, Harry and Malfoy took Yaya to the right road.
Sauron didn't say anything, he stared at the silver blood scattered on the ground, which he was familiar with. After all, he had used a large bottle every month for the past five years. Harry and Malfoy seemed very nervous, and they followed Sauron tightly, fearing that they would part.
"Can werewolf kill the unicorn?" Harry asked. "They said there werewolfs in the Forbidden Forest."
"It's unlikely that werewolfs don't have this ability. Unicorns are not as harmless as you think. They can use very strong magic. If they want, they can easily kill you. Hager said that a unicorn had died last week." Sauron said slowly, scanning the surroundings.
"What does this mean?" Malfoy asked.
"This shows that no matter what hurts the unicorn, it is very dangerous and may be malicious to us." Sauron said coldly, "Follow me and be alert, that thing will likely come to attack us on the initiative."
"Does Hager know about this? Hermione and Neville may be in danger." Harry was a little anxious.
Sauron looked back at him, "What does the two little things have to do with me?"
Harry was stunned after hearing this, while Malfoy wanted to laugh, but was afraid that Sauron would be angry, so he forced himself to hold it back.
The darkness in the forest had no effect on Sauron. Sauron did not find anything suspicious, but Sauron could vaguely feel something wandering around. Sauron realized that something had been targeting them. Sauron stopped and glanced around.
"What happened, Sauron?" Harry asked nervously when he saw Sauron stop.
"You two stay together and walk forward with your teeth," said Sauron.
"What, what about you?" Malfoy said in fear, knowing how powerful Sauron was, and he didn't want to leave Sauron at all.
"I won't go with you, something is on our side, we can't find it together." Sauron said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll be wandering around you." He glanced at Malfoy, who was so pale, and frowned, "Draco, take the courage, I warn you, if you yell foolishly, don't wait for that thing to come, I'll deal with you first."
After saying that, Sauron turned into a black mist under the surprised gaze of Harry and Malfoy, dissipated into the air.
"Don't stand there stupidly and look forward to the bloodstains." Soren's voice came from somewhere, "I'll be around you."
Harry and Malfoy swallowed and continued to walk forward. Although they knew that Sauron was around them, they were still nervous and quiet. They could only hear the footsteps and gasps of the two. It seemed that something was staring at them in the depths of the dark forest.
Sauron wandered around the two of them, but still found nothing. He was now like a ball of ethereal fog, traveling through the forest, silently. After nearly half an hour, he went deeper and deeper into the forest. Later, the trees became extremely dense and the path was almost impossible to pass. The blood on the ground was getting denser. A lot of blood was splashed on the roots of a tree, as if the poor animal had twisted and struggled in pain nearby. Through the tangled branches of an ancient oak tree, you could see a clearing in front of it.
A white thing shone on the ground. They approached it little by little. It was the unicorn, it was dead. Its slender legs kept the posture it had fallen, stretching out unnaturally; its mane was spread over the dark leaves, as white as pearls.
Suddenly, Sauron felt a magic wave sweeping through the place where he was, and then he saw a shadow passing through the dense forest in front and running into the distance. Sauron chased the shadow like a gust of wind, running quickly with the thing, and obviously not a person. He passed through the gaps in the trees without any effect. About a few dozen seconds later, Sauron caught up with the thing.
"Damn it, I'm fooled." Soren found that the thing was just a torn robe. He realized that the guy probably couldn't find Soren, so he used it to pull him away. Now, Harry and Malfoy were probably already encountered. Soren did not hesitate, turned into a black fire and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared at the place where he had just discovered the unicorn. He saw a guy wearing a black cloak slowly approaching the frightened Harry and Malfoy. The big hunting dog had gone where he ran. Soren pulled out his wand and looked at the black shadow - "Avadassori!"
A dazzling green light shot towards the shadow. To Sauron's surprise, the shadow swung it in a hurry with a wand. The death spell was disintegrated into a green light, but it was also knocked out and ran away quickly. Sauron wanted to chase after it, but he felt that a creature was rushing towards here quickly, so he held the wand and came to Harry and Malfoy.
Malfoy looked pale, while Harry seemed in pain.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Sauron asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"My head hurts, and the scars are like fire." Harry covered his head, "It's much better now."
Sauron looked at Malfoy again, "Where are you, Draco?"
"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Temple...sir." Malfoy subconsciously wanted to call His Highness, but when he thought of Harry's presence, he changed his words. He was about to ask about the spell just now, but a horse hooves interrupted them. A horseman appeared in front of them. Her hair was platinum and a silver-maned horse body.
"Are you okay? I just felt a powerful black magic wave coming from here." The horse man walked up to the three of them and said.
"Thank you, we're fine. A guy killed a unicorn and just wanted to attack us, but we drove him away." Sauron said. "Have you found something suspicious?"
The horseman did not answer. His eyes were astonishingly blue as a light sapphire. He first looked at Soren carefully, and then his body stiffened significantly. He looked at Soren with a complicated look, then looked at Harry, and then he said, "You'd better go back to Hagrid. The forest is not safe at this time, my name is Ferenze."
Sauron did not answer. He took out the wand that had already been put into his arms, and more horse hooves came from the other side of the open space. Two other horsemen rushed out of the bushes, and their belly was undulating violently, with sweat beads dripping.
