Chapter 18: Forbidden forest

In Snape's office, you could hear shouts " What were you two thinking " Snape Hissed " 40 Points in one night... one night "

" But Professor, Griffindoor .." Draco tried to Defend himself but with fail, Snape wouldn't listen

" I... don't....care about Griffindoor we were already in the lead, " Snape said as he took out his quill and started to write " your parents will hear of this matter and you both will do Detention "

" Yes professor Snape " Edwin answered

" with all being said and done Griffindoor did lose more points so we're still in the lead, " Snape said and continue on " try to stay out of trouble "

Edwin had spent the entire day getting glared at by Hermione and Harry, the rest of Edwin year along with Theodore taught it was a good thing that they did dropping Griffindoor points by a huge Margin and only losing a few points in return was considered good in everyone eyes even Edwin had to admit that it was a good strategy and they would win if it wasn't for the upcoming incident.

When the time for detention came Edwin got dressed and prepare his hand holster and knife in case they would run into any problems as Edwin was putting the Bowie Knife in his pants Draco and Theodore came to get him.

" What are you doing " Theodore asked

" Fixing my clothes," Edwin said " on to detention we go "

" Here is the picture you wanted, " Theodore said as he handed Edwin a big envelope

Edwin and Draco reported to Mr. Flinch while Theodore stood around seeing what would happen Mr. Flinch came out of his office and shout " Where is everyone Ahh there they come " Everyone who was doing Detention had to listen to Mr.Flinch Rant about they old days of punishing students Theodore left as soon as Mr. Flinch started talking " Enjoy your detention "

Arriving at Hagrid hut Hagrid was still crying about Norbert waiting on the detention students Fang altered Hagrid of their arrival " come on your still crying about that dam Dragon" Flinch hissed " Get over it you got Detention to watch "

Hagrid was still sniffling " Alrighty' then there is a wounded unicorn in yer forest we gotta save it "

" what!! we can't go in there it's the forbidden forest " Draco shouted

" Sure ya can, " Hagrid said " I know almost everything about that forest there "

" if I get hurt my father will hear about this " Draco said

Before Harry could mock Draco for being sacred Hagrid continues to talk " were gonna split up so we could find da poor unicorn faster Neville, Hermione yer with me, Edwin, Harry and Malfoy yer together"

" if so we're getting Fang " Draco smirked thinking he had made the best decision " Amright but I outta warn ya he's a bloody coward " Fang looked down and whimpers as Hagrid spoke

" Hagrid I have something for you," Edwin said as he handed an envelope to Hagrid the envelope open to show a picture of Norbert the emerald dragon breathing fire it had taken Edwin and every one several attempt to get a picture of Norbert breathing fire.

Edwin looked at the half-giant tearing up looking at the Photo " you see I got some pretty good pictures and made copies so I taught you should have them also" Edwin paused " sorry I couldn't get you a picture with you and Norbert "

Hagrid looked through all the photo in the envelope it had three copies of each " some of the copies are For Hermione and Harry after hearing their name they both went and look with the addition of curious Draco and Neville who saw the picture of the dragon.

" you took out a picture with the dragon we could have shown Snape! " Draco shouted " why didn't you show him "

" stop wining we have a unicorn to save, " Edwin said avoiding Draco question and walking into the forbidden forest "

The detention class walked through the forest " Hagrid what do you think is killing the unicorns " Hermione asked

" Maybe a werewolf " Harry suggests

"Nah' couldn't be that not fast enough for a unicorn "

after venturing deeper in the forest it got dark out and they came across two paths " this is where we split up of yer find da unicorn shoot up green spark practice it now-there ya go if ya find trouble use the red one ya hear an I come right' away and find at so be careful out here ya hear me "

Edwin's team took left pathe the walked through the forbidden forest at each interesting plant or creepy looking animal Edwin would stop and look " this is amazing why can't students come here" Edwin said as he walked in front of the group when Edwin saw some potion ingredient that he could use in practice he would pick them Edwin enjoyed being in the forbidden forest.

until he started seeing sliver blood shining against the moonlight.

" Why are you to so glum students aren't normally allowed here so I vote we should explore "

" No let's just find the unicorn and get out of here," Harry said

" what scared Potter" Draco

Harry and Draco started to ague on whose fault it was that there were in the forest Edwin was watching while petting Fang " I don't get it... " why do you two hate each other ?"

" He's a showoff and evil," Harry said

" so what you think you're betting than me Potter, " Draco said before they could start back arguing Edwin stepped in " you two shut up you don't know what you're attracting with all that noise "

the group came into a clearing with tree trunks and branches on the ground had some holes and bumps which could cause a person to trip the group walked more into the clearing where they saw a sliver liquid leading more in the clearing.

The clearing had an injure unicorn on the ground struggling as a figure in pitch black wearing what seems to be a pitch-black hooded cloak the figure stood and with a screech it spoke " youuuuuuu did this "

and launched itself towards Harry, Draco screamed and grabbed Edwin in attempt to run but Edwin stood firm and drew his wand and shot red sparks into the sky singling for help then tripping the Figure but he fell to the ground the body moved like it had no bones and head for Harry again.

Edwin started to cast red sparks one after the other after the first one had hit the figure changed its attention to Edwin but he could get close as he would be tripped or kept back trying to avoid the body-binding curse " enough " the figure hissed and charge towards Edwin successfully avoiding 3 out of the 4 spell cast.

The figure held Edwin by the neck when the figure was about to speak Edwin hit him with another spark on the face the figure was caught off guard and almost drop Edwin, but he didn't instead he took Edwin's wand and throw it way " what will you do now " the figure hissed as he tightens his grip on Edwin.

" Stop it let him go it's me you want ! " Harry shout as he offered himself to the figure

" soon I will DESTROY YOU ! " the figure Shout

Draco who had been hiding in the corner saw Edwin gasping for air and trying to kick the figure in his balls " crap Edwin !" Draco shout and a red spark flew out of his wand " left him to go it's three against you "

The figure turned around to face Draco slight losing his grip on Edwin so he could breath " Malfoy you should stay out of this I just want Potter " the figure said " I will let you two go "

With the figure's attention on Draco and little air to breath, Edwin reached into his pants and pulled out his knife after getting his knife out Edwin plunged it into the figure belly and twist the knight slightly a horrid scream came from the figure as he let go of Edwin.

Edwin got up and run then shout " run " the figure chased after Edwin and Everyone like a madman almost tripping a few times when he reached near horse sounds the centaur had come to the children rescue the figure turned into a shadow and flew away.

" Are you okay, " A centaur Asked

" kinda good here" Edwin replied

" I'm Firenze " You and three are"

Everyone greeted the centaur Firenza took everyone back to Hagrid tagging the injure unicorn along only stopping to rest for a few Hagrid group came rushing through the bushes

"We saw the red light is everyone okay," Hagrid asked frantically they then explained everything about what happens more centaur came and listen to the story when they heard what Edwin did they looked at him and nodded.

Bane walked up to Edwin as Firenze was explaining why unicorn blood is taboo and who would use it. " child Mars is bright tonight " bane said

"I cannot see it," Edwin said with a smirk " but I'm sure it favors me "

Bane looked at Edwin and hissed " not all favors will be good some maybe be deadly child "

Bane looked towards the stars and stared at Edwin the centaur turned his back and tried to hit Edwin with his tail the group of centaur began to argue as they leave "Firenze what did you tell that human " Bane hissed " we are not supposed to speak about it " Bane started to throw a fit as they left

Hagrid looked at Edwins's neck that has a large handprint on it as they walked back to the castle Edwin made a decision that it was time to make a move
