Isabelle's POV

"A pity they let the old punishment die. Was a time detention found you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons." said Filch.

Hermione, Erika and I glanced at each other with fear.

Scary.

"God, I miss the screaming." Filch added.

We walked to Hagrid's hut.

"You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest." said Filch.

Then I saw a tear on Hagrid's cheek.

"A sorry lot, this, Hagrid." said Filch. Hagrid glared and sniffed.

"Good God, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?" said Filch.

"Norbert's Gone." said Hagrid.

"Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony." he said.

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

I nodded in agreement.

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

"Oh, for god's sake, pull yourself together. You're going into the Forest." said Filch. "Got to have your wits about you."

"The Forest? I thought that was a joke. We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed. And there are---*wolf howl* werewolves." said Malfoy.

You can tell Malfoy is scared by the time you hear his voice.

"There's more than werewolves in those trees. You can be sure of that." said Filch.

"Nighty-night."

With that...Filch left.

"Right. Let's go." said Hagrid.

We walked through the forest and it was Dark.

We followed Hagrid until he found something.

"Hagrid, what is that?" Harry asked.

"What we're here for. See that?" Hagrid held it up.

"That's unicorn blood." I said.
"You're right, Belle. I found one dead a few weeks ago. Now, this one's been hurt bad by something." said Hagrid.
Then Erika and I saw someone wearing a black cloak. I got scared and held onto Erika's arm.

"So, it's our job to go and find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione, Erika, you three come with me." said Hagrid.

"Okay." Ron said, scared.

"Harry, Belle, you go with Malfoy." Hagrid added.

Harry nodded.

I nodded as well. Erika looked at me, concerned, since we're going to be separated for a while.

"Okay fine. Then I get Fang." said Malfoy.

"Fine. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward." said Hagrid.

Harry and I looked at Fang as he started to whimper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wait till my father hears about this. This is servant's stuff." Malfoy complained, while he was carrying the lantern.

I rolled my eyes at that.

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