"Nothing, I repeat nothing gives a student the right to be walking around the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, fifty points will be taken."

"Fifty?"

"Each. And to ensure it doesn't happen again the five of you will receive detention.

Malfoy stands up and tries to act all good like he has done nothing wrong, "excuse me professor. I must've heard you wrong. I thought you said the five of us."

"No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, as honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention."

Malfoy looks over angrily while the four of us look at each other while smiling.

After the conversation, we get led outside by Filch who is sad that the old punishments of torturing children are gone. He brings us back over to Hagrid who looks sad.

"Oh, good god man, you aren't still on about that bloody dragon, are you?"

"Norbert is gone. Dumbledore's sent him off to Romania to live in a colony."

"Well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind."

"Yeah, but what if he doesn't like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby, after all."

"Oh, for god's sake, pull yourself together man. You're going into the forest after all."

Malfoy perks up and looks at Filch, "the forest? I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there, there are," Malfoy gets cut off by a howl, "werewolves."

"Ah there's more than werewolves in those tree's lad," Filch looks around before starting to walk off, "nighty night."

I look up at Filch before rolling my eyes and starting to walk into the woods with Hagrid and everyone else. This is absolutely ridiculous and if Malfoy wasn't some stuck up prick, then we wouldn't be in this situation. I watch Hagrid squat down and touch some silver looking liquid.

"This is what we are here for. See that? Thats unicorn blood, that is. I found one dead a few weeks ago. Now, this one's been hurt bad by something, so it's our job to go and find the poor beast. We are splitting into two groups I will take Ron and Hermione then the Potters and Malfoy."

We all split up and immediately Malfoy hates what he is doing and who he is with.

"Wait till my father hears about this. This is servants' stuff."

Harry raises his eyebrow, "If I didn't know better, Draco. I'd say you were scared."

He quickly shakes his head and looks at Harry in disgust, "scared, Potter."

I sigh before petting Fang and walking away from the two of them before they start a fight. I do not want to be out here so I am going to get it done with as soon as I can. I walk along a path, and I sigh while taking in my surroundings. It honestly isn't that bad; everything in the moonlight looks so breath taking. 

We walk for another couple of minutes until Fang stops and starts to growl, "what is it, Fang?"

I look down as I feel Malfoy hold onto my hand while looking straight. I jump a little and look at him while he seems like he doesn't even notice what he did. He called me a half-blood the other night and now he is holding my hand. He is just scared.

Harry and I look up to where Malfoy is looking. Infront of us is a man looking figure drinking the blood of a unicorn. I understand why Malfoy was so scared now. I gasp and hold onto my scar while Harry does the same. The figure seemed to have noticed us because it looked up at us. Malfoy screams like a little girl and tries to pull me with him as he runs but I stay put with my brother.

The creature slowly floats towards us before standing up. I hold Harry's hand as we slowly back up, still looking at this thing. Harry trips on an old root bringing me down with him, we quickly try to back up until a half horse half man runs up and makes the other creature run away.

I sigh relieved as it starts to talk to us, "Harry and (Y/n) Potter, you must leave. You are known to many creatures here; the forest is not safe at this time. Especially for the two of you." 

"But what was that thing you saved us from," Harry asks and I nod while standing up from the ground.

"A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Drinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death. But at a terrible price. The person who drinks the blood will have a half-life, a cursed life."

"Do you mean to say, the thing that killed the unicorn that was drinking its blood, that was Voldemort."

The horse man comes closer to us, "do you know what is hidden in the school at this very moment, Potter's?" 

"The Sorcerer's Stone," Harry and I whisper.

I look around as Hagrid comes over with everyone behind him, "Hello there, Firenze. I see you've met our young Potters. You alright there, you two?"

Harry and I nod before walking over to Hagrid. We look at Firenze as he starts to talk to us again.

"This is where I leave you Potters. You're safe now. Goodluck," with that he gallops off leaving the six of us to start walking back to the school.
