Dead Nightingale
Chapter 6: Detention
I got detention! I didn't even do anything!
As I mumbled under my breath I followed Rose to Hagrid's hut. My detention was with him and supposedly four others.
Sure enough. There was Hagrid, Hermione, Harry, Ron and of course Draco.
Oh lucky me!
"Hagrid." said Rose
"Rose I'm glad you brought her." said Hagrid
Now they had my full attention.
"What is it?" asked Rose
"As I was tellin' this lot. We are going to the forbidden forest looking for an injured Unicorn." said Hagrid
He seemed nervious.
Rose laughed. "Sure I will take the cuffs off. Here is the remote. Press the green button to put the cuffs back on. They will fly towards her. Now when I when press the red button. Lucinia hold out your wrists. Now Hagrid."
The cuffs fell into her hands and she handed them to Hagrid. I rubbed at my now free wrists.
"But what if she tried to kill us?" asked Draco
Rose rolled her eyes. "She wont."
Rose walked away. We followed Hagrid into the forest. My eyes began to glow. I could see the souls of the creatures in the forest. It was good to use this sight once more.
As we walked deeper in I saw flashes of a very dark soul. But none of a pure unicorn.
That was till I saw a spirit of one. I knew it's body was long dead. The spirit seemed to watching us.
We stopped at a pool of silver blood.
Unicorn blood.
I knew it was the blood of the spirit.
"Hagrid, what is that?" asked Harry
"What we're looking for. See that?" he asked with some of the blood on his fingertips
"Unicorn blood." I said
"Lucinia is right. I found one dead a few weeks ago, that's why I wanted Lucinia's cuffs off." Hagrid said "Now, this one's been hurt bad by something."
"I think its now dead." I said
"We need to find it." said Hagrid "Ron, Hermione, come with me. Lucinia and Harry, you'll go with Malfoy."
Oh good!
"Okay. Than I get Fang." said Malfoy
That's when I realized their was a dog.
"Fine. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward." said Hagrid
Oh boy!
The three of us wondering in a different way than the others. Malfoy had a lamp.
"Wait till my father hears about this. This is servant's stuff." complained Malfoy
"It wont kill you to do something." I said
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were scared." said Harry
"I'm not scared, Potter." said Malfoy
"Yes you are. Big bad Draco Malfoy is scared of the dark forest." I chanted
Just than we heard a weird noise.
"Did you hear that?" asked Malfoy
We continued our walk.
We stopped. In front of us was a dark figure hovering over the dead unicorn. I tried to sense its soul. But their was something wrong.
The soul was dark but their was a black piece of another soul attached. Is that even possible? If it is how did the one with the black soul break its soul into pieces.
Harry held his hand up to his forehead in pain. Malfoy and Fang ran, Malfoy screaming. It was against the rules to raise something so pure as a unicorn but maybe I could find the spirit.
The thing began to float towards me and Harry. We tripped over a root, landed on our asses. In the corner of my vision I saw two shinny objects come flying towards me. The cuffs landed firmly on my wrists.
Well shit.
A centaur jumped over us scaring away the thing.
"Harry Potter, you must leave. You are known to many creatures here. The forest is not safe at this time. Especially for you. Lucinia Murte you must leave too. A young necromancer isn't safe here either." said the centaur
"What was that thing you saved us from?" asked Harry
"A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Drinking its blood will keep you alive even if you an inch from death. But at a terrible price. For you have slain something so pure that the moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life." he said
"Who would choose such a life?" I asked
"Can you think of no one?" he asked
"Do you mean to say that that thing that killed the unicorn that was drinking its blood, that was Voldemort?" asked Harry
Oh god!!!
"Do you know what is hidden in the school at this very moment?" asked the centaur
Huh?
"The Philosopher's Stone." whispered Harry
I gave him a look that he better explain.
He nodded.
"Harry!" I heard Hermione
We turned to see the others.
"Hello there, Firenze. See you've met our young Mr. Potter and Miss Murte. Are you guys alright?" asked Hagrid
We nodded yes.
"This is were I leave you." said Firenze
When we had gotten back I forced the trio to explain everything and they did.
And it sounded fun.
