Chapter 377: The Worst Result

The equally hot button was held tightly by a pair of hands.

The Forbidden Forest was pitch black, and it was silent.

Jia Siting, who also came for detention, had just met up with Haige and the others when he heard a loud wail.

They were originally in the Forbidden Forest to look for something, but now Haige seemed to have found it, and it was the very worst result.

"I had long discovered that there were guys sneaking around in the Forbidden Forest... you look over there,"

Haige said,

"See that shiny thing on the ground? Silver-white? That's unicorn blood.

I didn't expect that guy's target was a unicorn. I had never heard of a unicorn being hurt before..."

The five people stared silently, and a moonlight spilled down from the branches above, illuminating the silver-blue bloodstains on the fallen leaves.

"Alright,"

Haige said,

"Your mission hasn't changed, we still have to find that guy.

But listen carefully now, what we are going to do tonight will be very dangerous."

The uneasy mood of Harry and the others since yesterday reached its peak. They originally thought they would be more at ease after Jia Siting arrived, but they didn't expect to be involved in something even more dangerous.

They had already started to tremble, and they didn't know if it was because the cold wind at night was too biting.

"Don't leave the path. Alright, now we are in groups of three or four, split into two paths, and search separately along the bloodstains. There are bloodstains everywhere, obviously, the unicorn has been stumbling and wandering around since at least last night."

Haige said.

"I want Fang,"

Ma Er looked at Fang's long teeth and said hurriedly.

Jia Siting remembered what Sean said before leaving:

"If you encounter danger in the Forbidden Forest, if you are with Fang, remember to run fast. Fang looks fierce, but actually, his courage is about the same as the Ma Er you will meet."

Now it seemed it had already been verified a little.

"I'll be with Fang."

Jia Siting was of course afraid too, but compared to letting his friends fall into danger... he considered himself faster than Ma Er.

So Jia Siting, Ma Er, and Fang were in one group, and Harry's trio and Haige were in another.

A gust of wind blew, Jia Siting took the plan map in his hand and shook it at Harry's trio. The few people who understood nodded.

Then they each walked inside.

"We, go find the murderer who hurt the unicorn, are you kidding..."

Luo En hadn't stopped panicking since yesterday, and Hermione and Harry weren't much better:

"Haige, could it be a werewolf?"

Compared to unknown danger, Harry and the others would rather believe it was a werewolf gone mad.

"Werewolves wouldn't be that fast—shh—"

Haige suddenly fell silent, and the three people listened intently.

Something was sliding on the fallen leaves nearby: the sound was like a cloak dragging on the ground. Haige narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark path. A few seconds later, the sound gradually disappeared.

"I know,"

He muttered,

"There is something, it originally doesn't belong here."

This sentence made everyone stunned, only Hermione, her shorthand quill was rustling.

Sean hoped that if she encountered things she hadn't foreseen before, she could record these details.

Walking inside for another distance, they reached a fork in the road. They chose one, then continued to walk silently, eyes staring at the ground.

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly, they heard fine sounds again. Haige immediately took out his bow and arrow and roared.

Then a half-human, half-horse creature walked out of the forest.

"Good evening, Haige."

The centaur said, his voice low and sad,

"Do you want to shoot me with a bow and arrow?"

"Oh, so it's you, Firenze."

Haige breathed a sigh of relief,

"Have you found anything unusual in the past two days?"

Firenze raised his head and stared at the sky.

"Mars is bright tonight."

"I'm talking about unusual things."

Haige continued to ask.

"Mars is bright tonight."

Firenze was still repeating.

Although a bit confused, Hermione still recorded the conversation between the two. Sean wouldn't let her do meaningless things.

"I've already heard this sentence!"

Haige said impatiently.

At this time, Firenze suddenly changed his words:

"I saw different planets changing. Mars is still bright, but Jupiter is slowly replacing it.

I saw Uranus suddenly shining, which hasn't happened for many years. But Pluto, which should have appeared, hid in the dark clouds..."

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, more hoofbeats came from the other side of the clearing. A tall centaur rushed out of the bushes, his flanks heaving violently, dripping with sweat. It gave Hermione, who was taking notes, a big fright,

"Remember, Firenze, we have taken an oath, absolutely cannot defy the will of heaven. Haven't we seen the omens shown by the movement of the planets?"

At this time, dog barking came from the dense forest again. Jia Siting and the others seemed to have followed the movement of the centaurs.

Jia Siting and Hermione met first. When the centaurs were arguing, he looked at Hermione's notes:

"Mars symbolizes desire and war; Jupiter represents someone constantly growing. It shines with Mars, indicating that they will eventually clash...

And Uranus symbolizes awakening and rebellion, while Pluto, which symbolizes rebirth, failed to shine..."

Jia Siting seemed to know some knowledge of astrology. Hermione didn't know why she thought that the birthday gift he gave her was a moon chart and astronomical instruments.

"Then what do these... mean..."

Harry asked ignorantly.

"Mars is too bright."

Firenze's deep gaze looked at Jia Siting, then turned to Harry.

Now even Jia Siting didn't understand. He only knew some because of extensive learning.

After the centaurs left, the following night became extremely uneasy.

Haige was angry at Jia Siting's reckless change of direction, and he wanted to change people.

Luo En was cowering, and Hermione was pale. In the end, Haige could only arrange Harry and Ma Er together.

They started searching again.

But what was unexpected was that they really found that thing. Ma Er let out a terrible scream and ran away—Fang also fled for his life.

Only Harry was left, his scar hurting and hot, unable to move at all.

The night became deeper.

The next day.

Sean rarely made his request:

"Professor Maige, can we leave early?"

His button was already hot to the extreme. Sean knew that Hogwarts must have had the worst result.

Think about it, what danger would Harry and the others encounter in the Forbidden Forest?

And what kind of danger would be enough to make Jia Siting send such a violent letter to himself regardless?

Is it the wrong choice,

Or... the wrong time?

Sean didn't dare to think anymore. ===== CHAPTER 378 =====
