v2 Chapter 85： Mars is bright tonight

The night was dark.

Under the action of the Illusory Body Charm, the four figures and the environment merged into one.

They were experienced, like mature hunters. They easily avoided Filch, skillfully avoided the patrol professor, quickly passed through the castle, and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

When walking to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's hut suddenly heard a harsh dog barking.

"Yaya, what's the matter? Is there anyone outside?"

The oil lamp in the hut was on, Hagrid was wearing a plush coat showing through the crack of the door, and the cold wind was howling outside, but no one was found.

"Damn, is this the first time you howled tonight?"

Hagrid closed the wooden door angrily. He turned his head and found that Fang had already slid into the warm bed while he was leaving!

Hagrid said angrily: "Come down, teeth... eh, don't bite, my little baby is sleeping, don't disturb it!"

There was a sound of dogs barking and knocking over chairs in the house.

"Don't make trouble, Toya."

Hagrid's voice sounded again.

"I see, I know why you are so restless... When I come back, I will introduce Mrs. Norris of Filch to you.

It's alright, Bobo Tea won't know, hehe~"

There was a wretched laugh from the hut, and soon the oil lamp was turned off.

Hagrid fell asleep again.

The four of them heard grunts from inside the house, so they cautiously crossed Hagrid's house, across his fields, and into the Forbidden Forest.

After he was completely away, Cedric asked in doubt, "Who is Hagrid's little treasure?"

Fred shook his head. "I don't know. Hagrid was away from home for several days during Christmas, and when he came back, he became mysterious."

"He didn't get another magical creature, did he?" George asked.

The four looked at each other.

This possibility is really great!

Last year, Hagrid got the three-headed dog Lu Wei, even if one day he found out that he was keeping a fire dragon in the hut, William would not be too surprised.

"It would be great if it was really a fire dragon." Cedric said happily, "This way you have the nerve of a fire dragon.

No, Hagrid definitely won't give it, it's better for the Thunderbird, so that he can pick up his tail feathers every day. "

Cedric began to think farts again.

In fact, he has the tail feathers of the Thunderbird in his hand, which William asked for from Newt.

Thunderbird tail feathers can be used as wand cores.

Wands using ptarmigan tail feathers are difficult to master, but they are usually very powerful and suitable for transfiguration.

Most of all, because the Thunderbird is extremely sensitive to supernatural dangers, the wand made of its feathers is said to be able to preemptively cast spells.

Cedric got the Thunderbird's tail feather, and was so excited that he almost took William's first kiss away. Fortunately, he dodged in time and kicked Cedric out, which saved his integrity.

The four left the edge of the forest and continued to go deeper. In William's hand, he also held 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 clans of magical creatures here, and some clans who accidentally break in will be particularly dangerous.

For example, centaur tribes... they are very exclusive, any wizards who try to enter their tribe will be killed.

Hagrid had lived on the edge of the Forbidden Forest for fifty years, and he knew most of the forest well.

Over the years, he has produced a set of commonly used maps, marking 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 would have to enter under Hagrid's leadership.

So William asked Hagrid for a map like this, so they could roam the Forbidden Forest.

Although Hagrid didn't want William to enter the Forbidden Forest, he was even more afraid that they didn't have a map and accidentally broke into dangerous places inside.

So in the end I gave it.

William and the others won't go very deep tonight, they're just here to pick psychedelic mushrooms.

Psychedelic mushrooms mature during this time. If they are not picked up in time, the fragrance will attract other creatures.

Psychedelic mushrooms are an important part of Fuling, which is because of this part, excessive use of Fuling can lead to side effects such as blind arrogance.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. They followed the marked road sign, walked in for a while, reached a fork in the road, and turned to the right again.

This is a small intestine road that gradually disappears into the depths of the black jungle.

"What is that?" Cedric said suddenly, pointing somewhere.

A ray of moonlight shone down from the branches above, illuminating a silver-blue bloodstain on the fallen leaves.

William's wand lit, and he held it high, the light dispelling the darkness.

Under the fluorescent light, the pool of blood gleamed.

William's expression changed. "It's unicorn blood!"

Unicorns are beautiful and pure creatures. They are golden when they are young and turn pure white when they are fully grown.

These creatures are gentle, beautiful, and possess strong magic, and there are few creatures in the Forbidden Forest that can harm them.

It is very unusual that there is so much unicorn blood on the ground.

"That unicorn should be seriously injured." William frowned.

"Are you going to look for it separately?" Fred asked.

"Don't separate, unicorns have strong magic, I've never heard of unicorns getting hurt before.

So the creatures that can harm unicorns are not simple. "

The four are all together, and William still has the confidence to protect them. If they are separated, problems will easily occur.

They followed the blood trail, past a moss-covered tree stump. William could hear the gurgling water, and there was apparently a stream somewhere nearby.

They walked slower than before Pricked up their ears, catching the tiniest sound.

Suddenly, in the vines ahead, they saw something moving.

The wands of the four were all pointed forward.

The thing emerged from the vine and looked directly at William and the others.

It turned out to be a horse man—a man above the waist, with white-blond hair, but a cream-colored shiny horse body below the waist, and a long silver tail trailing behind it.

"Oh, so it's you, Fizeren." William let out a sigh of relief and put down his wand.

"How are you?" Cedric also greeted.

Fezelen is a centaurus. William and the others have met several times before, so they naturally recognize him.

"Good evening, young wizard," said Fezelen, his voice low and sad.

"Are you going to attack me with a wand?"

"No, Fizeren." William explained, "We found the blood of the unicorn, is there something attacking it?"

"Yes, our centaurs also discovered it."

Fezelen sighed. He raised his head and stared at the sky, exuding an air of melancholy.

He was about to speak when George quickly said loudly, "The stars are very bright tonight."

"Yes, Mars is very bright." Fred grinned.

"Venus is still as bright as ever. It is brighter than Mars." Cedric said seriously.

"The moon is the brightest, and it's big and round." William said quietly.

Fezelen: "..."
