Hagrid led them to the very edge of the forest. Holding his lamp up high, he pointed down a narrow, winding earth track that disappeared into the thick black trees. A light breeze lifted their hair as they looked into the forest.

"Uncle, what's that?"

"Look there," said Hagrid, "see that stuff shinin' on the ground? Silvery stuff? That's unicorn blood. There's a unicorn in there bin hurt badly by summat. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We're going to try an' find the poor thing. We might have ter put it out of its misery."

"And what if whatever hurt the unicorn finds us first?" said Malfoy, unable to keep the fear out of his voice.

But then, Harry suddenly saw a towering cloaked figure walking through the trees then he looked at Hagrid.

"There's nothin' that lives in the forest that'll hurt yeh if yer with Fang or me," said Hagrid.

"An' keep ter the path. Right, now, we're going to split inter two parties an' follow the trail in diff'rent directions. There's blood all over the place; it must've bin staggerin' around since last night at least. "

"Ron, Hermione and Neville, you'll come with me," Hagrid said.

"And Y/N, you'll go with Harry and Draco." Draco grimaces while Harry nodded.

"Okay. Then I get Fang!" Draco said.

"All right, but I warn yeh, he's a coward," said Hagrid and Fang whines.

"Awe, it's alright, Fang." You patted him.

"So, me, Ron, Neville an' Hermione'll go one way an' Draco, Harry, Y/N, an' Fang'll go the other. Now, if any of us finds the unicorn, we'll send up green sparks. Get yer wands out an' practice now, that's it an' if anyone gets in trouble, send up red flashes, an' we'll all come an' find yeh -- so, be careful -- let's go. "

The forest was black and silent. A little way into it, they reached a fork in the earth path, and Harry, Draco, Y/N and Fang took the left path while Hagrid, Ron, Hermione and Neville took a right.

"Professor, they told me you're looking for me." Said the person.

"Ah yes, I'm sure you heard about the students who got their detention, to the forbidden forest." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Wait. What? I know they got detention, but I didn't expect it to be in the forest!" The person yelled.

"That's why I called you here."

"But why me?" The person said.

"...I know what you are..." The professor looked at the person's eyes as their(his/her) eyes widen.

"I, I don't know what you're speaking about professor." The person gulped down their saliva.

"You don't have to be scared; your secret is safe." Dumbledore smiled at him/her.

"I also know about her. I know about you too. About your family." Dumbledore added.

"Seems like you know too much professor, " The person chuckled.

"Yes, and I have a favour to ask."

"What is it, professor?"

"Well, it's her birthday and today is the full moon. I want her and her classmates to be safe, so if it's alright if you could look after them from at afar." Dumbledore said, hoping the person to agree.

"Of course Professor, unless you keep my secret safe." The person smiled, Dumbledore cackled and nodded.

"I have informed the other professors about this; now you may go."

"Goodbye."

The person walked out of the Professor room and saw Snape and McGonagall.

"Please look after them." Professor McGonagall spoke.

"Of course."

"And you too. Be careful; I don't want her being worried if you get hurt while keeping them safe." Professor Snape spoke.

"Thank you, professors; I must go now." The person bowed at them as the adults nodded their heads.

The person went out of the castle and mumbled something under their breath.

"

Three crows appeared out of nowhere and made a bird noise.

"I want you two to go look for the people who got detention, pretty sure you know who I am talking about. Now go." The person spoke to the birds, and the birds began to look after them.

"Now... I have to change." The person shifts into a...

And ran to the forbidden forest.

༻вacĸ тo yoυ...༺

The three of you, along with Fang, walked through the forest, You and Fang leading. Draco has a lamp.

"You wait till my father hears about this. This is servants stuff!" Said Draco, you rolled your eyes.

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

"Scared, Potter?!" Draco scoffs but then there was a howl.

"Did you hear that? Come on, Y/N, Fang." Draco took the lead. Instead, you sighed.

"Scared..." You heard Draco whispered as you snorted.

"What's funny, Y/N?" Harry walked beside you, in your right while Draco is in your left.

"Nothing."

As the group approaches a flat ground with gnarled roots all over, Fang stops then growls.

"What is it, Fang?" You asked.

Up ahead, there was a figure grounded over a dead unicorn, drinking its blood. It made you mad as knowing it was one of those unicorns you used to play with when you were young.

The figure raises its head, silver blood dripping from its mouth. Your eyes started flickering colours as your anger building up.

But it was strange as you felt connection with the figure, that drank one of your unicorn friends.

Harry gasp and grabs his scar, which is stinging him.

Draco looked pure of fear, started screaming "AAAAAHHHH!!! AHHH!" He grabs your hand and about to run away.

"No! We are not leaving Harry!!" "We have to go! That thing will kill us! We can rescue him once we get to Hagrid!"

You both ran along with Fang, but you keep turning back to Harry. Scared what will happen to him and angry because you couldn't do anything.

On halfway, you freed away from Draco and ran back to where Harry was.

"Y/N!!! No!!" You heard Draco screamed, but you kept running and got lost.

Then you heard a cawing noise, you looked up and saw a crow going on a circle as if it's marking where you were.

꧁☬⋆ᵞᴼᵁᴿ ᴾᴼᵛ⋆☬꧂

Alright, Y/N, there's no time to get scared, you have to go back where Harry was.

"Screw this, I'm scared. I shouldn't have run; now I'm lost." It's not like it's my first time being in the forest.

But it's my first time being alone at the forest, AT.NIGHT.

"Come on, somebody... Save me..." I whispered, hoping someone will come to rescue me.

But I heard a snapping branch, then the bush making noises as if something is inside it.

"Wh...who's there! Pl...please don...don't eat m...me!" I screamed and moved away from the bush.

Then a wolf came out, a grey wolf. I felt fear came to my spine, and I don't recognise the wolf.

I know all the animals here, but this wolf, I haven't seen. It has grey fur and golden brown eyes.

I love wolves, but right now. I feel scared because I do not know this wolf, my guts telling me that I'll be alright, but my head keeps telling me that I'll be dead soon.

Then the crow noise became loud as if it's telling its master or something just something that there will be a great danger.

The wolf walked in a circle, eyeing me. I gulped down my saliva as I watch the wolf movement.

Should I be friendly? So it won't attack me? "H...hello there, pl...please don't at...attack me an...and, be a go..good... Wo..wolfie." I said.

The wolf walked towards me, towering me mostly. Both of us stared at each other.

Silence, but the crow noise is loud.

"Be a good wolfie and don't eat me... Okay?" Surprisingly the wolf nodded as if it understands me.

The wolf went closer to me and nuzzled it's noise to my neck, "h... Hey, that's ticklish." I giggled.

The wolf laid down and gave me a signal to lay down beside him, and I gladly did.

After Draco dragged Y/N with him, I was relieved that she won't get hurt. Then I heard a cawing noise, I looked up, and it was a crow.

Now, I am left alone by myself. The figure slides over the unicorn and raises its head.

Then it advanced towards me, I back up but trip, how great. I crawl backwards.

Suddenly, there is the sound of hoofbeats. A figure leaps over me and lands near to the cloaked; it was a silver centaur. It rears and the cloaked figure retreats and flew away.

"Harry Potter, you must leave. You are known to many creatures here. The forest is not safe at this time. Especially for you." The centaur spoke.

I rise from the ground, "but what was that thing you saved me from?" I asked.

"A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Deinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death. But at a terrible price, you have slain something so pure that moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life."

"But who would choose such a life?"

"Can you think of no one?"

"Do you mean to say... That, that thing that killed the unicorn... That was drinking its blood... That aS Voldermort?" I said.

"Do you know what is hidden in the school at this very moment?" He asked.

"The Philosopher's stone."

Then suddenly, I heard Fang barks. I looked up and saw Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, Neville and Draco appear but no Y/N.

"Harry!" Said Hermione.

"Hello there, Firenze. I see you've met our young Mr Potter. You all right there, Harry?" Hagrid asked, and I nodded.

"But, Hagrid... Where is Y/N?" I asked.

There was a silence, "I thought she was with you?" Ron said.

"No, Draco dragged her with him and ran," I said.

"No, she ran back here," Draco said.

"Firenze, this is an emergency. We have to look for her." Hagrid spoke, Firenze nodded.

"I'll notify the others to look for her." After that, he left.

"This is an emergency; we have to look for her. It is dangerous for her to be out on this day, "

What if something terrible happened to her?! Right on her birthday?!

꧁☬⋆ᴺᴼ ᴼᴺᴱ'ˢ ᴾᴼᵛ⋆☬꧂

The crowing noise rang to the person's ears, as he/she ran faster.

Knowing that she is in danger if something happens to her. The person will not forgive its self.

'I'm late.' The person growl.

Dumbledore arrived at his destination, knocking at the palace door.

A butler opened it the door and greeted him "His Imperial Majesty along with his brother, His Majesty, and the Royal Highnesses are waiting in the lounge."

"Ah, yes, thank you." The butler guide Dumbledore inside the palace; he could notice how massive the palace was.

Bigger than Hogwarts or any manor he has been, it was just tremendous. No one could imagine how big it was.

"The Wizard, Albus Dumbledore has arrived your Majesties and highnesses." The butler bowed and disappeared.

"Albus, we finally meet." The imperial stood up along his brother.

"Yes, your Majesty. It is a great honour to see you all." Dumbledore kneeled to his knees and kept his head low.

The brothers chuckled, "Albus, stand up; you don't have to bow." The imperial brother spoke.

Dumbledore stood up; the three shook each other's hand, as the youngsters watch them.

"let's get down to the important subject. How are they?" The Imperial spoke, as the three sat down?

On each side of the room, the youngsters sat on the settee while the brothers sat in front of Dumbledore.

Meaning they surround him.

"They are doing great, " Dumbledore smiled, as he continued to explain what has been happening to them.

"Exactly like we've discussed in the letters, it would be fantastic if you could visit them," Dumbledore spoke formally and politely.

"Yes, we've been thinking about that with my brother. We are going to visit Hogwarts, especially them on their fourth year in school." The Imperial brother said.

"That would be wonderful; they will be happy seeing you all." Dumbledore smiled; it is dark outside now.

As their eyes glow in the night like a light, the brothers live longer than Dumbledore himself now.

"I have to go now, gentlemen, I have work to do at Hogwarts." Dumbledore stood up as everyone stood up as well.

"It was a great talk and information. Thank you." The Imperial shook his hand once again then his brother.

The wolf suddenly stood up, and I stayed down sitting on the ground. Then the wolf started growling; the crow noise died out.

There was another bush noise, and it revealed... An angry...
