The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

During Charms class on Monday morning, Solim saw Draco’s pale face and knew that the frightened he had received last night had not slowed down yet.

After class, Draco pulled Solim to the back of the crowd, and their next class was an herbology class. Draco felt that if he didn’t figure out what that dark shadow was, he would not sleep tonight.

After Solim’s warning, Draco was mentally prepared for confinement. But he still didn’t expect the school to make such an arrangement: at eleven o’clock at night, freshmen like them would enter the Forbidden Forest to search for an injured unicorn. Draco wasn’t Harry and Ron, and he knew how powerful a creature or wizard could injure or even kill a unicorn. He even moved out of his father’s name, as Hagrid protested, but ultimately failed to stop them from entering the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest during the day is dark enough, let alone at night. If it weren’t for the occasional faint moonlight, if it weren’t for the dim light in your hands, you wouldn’t even be able to see anything here. Draco couldn’t remember how many times he hit trees in the Forbidden Forest, how many cuts his robe had been cut by branches and low bushes. The Forbidden Forest is not flat land, the terrain here is high and low, and it is easy to break your feet when you can’t see the road clearly.

Draco was assigned by Hagrid to be in a group with Harry and Tooth, and Hagrid and Ron, the two of them searching along the path with a dog. Speaking of searching, they even bumped the road, most of the time they stared at the road under their feet, and they simply did not have time to look around.

But even if they walked so carefully, trouble still found them. They found a dead unicorn in a clearing in the Forbidden Forest, and the unicorn’s unique silvery-white blood was all around, and just as he and Harry were about to fire green sparks with their wands, a black shadow emerged from the trees, clinging to the ground and covering the unicorn’s body, and began to drink its blood. Draco, who had never seen such a horrific scene, immediately screamed and ran away, leaving Harry there alone. Although several people converged intact afterwards, and the confinement ended, the terrifying black shadow lingered in Draco’s mind.

“Solim, what the hell is that black shadow? I’ve never heard anything like that. Draco asked Solim his questions after recounting what happened last night.

“You saw that black shadow drinking unicorn blood, right?” Solim asked, “Then do you know what happens when you take untreated unicorn blood directly?” ”

“You mean… That dark shadow I saw was a wizard? ”

Obviously, the only one who will take unicorn blood is a wizard. No matter what magical creatures, they may kill unicorns, but they will definitely not use unicorns as food. Unicorn blood can only be used by wizards, and as long as you know this, you can understand that the black shadow is definitely a wizard.

“But… Wouldn’t it be possible to take the blood of a unicorn directly…” Draco was a little hesitant, would there really be such a wizard? What kind of consequences will be caused by taking the blood of unicorns directly, Draco is clear, after all, this is common knowledge in the wizarding world. Would there really be someone who would rather be cursed like that and drink unicorn blood?

“Yes, a short life extension, but eventually you will die in cruel torture.” Solim added to Draco’s unfinished words, “Only wizards who have nothing to lose and who have nothing to lose would use this extreme method to prolong their lives. ”

“But why in the Forbidden Forest?” Draco asked a good question.

Unicorns are not magical creatures unique to the Forbidden Forest. If you really want to get unicorn blood, there are also in the black market, as long as you pay the starting price. Even if you choose to hunt unicorns yourself for the sake of safety, there is no need to come to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, although there are not many unicorn habitats in the country, but it is more safe than in Hogwarts and Dumbledore’s territory.

“Why? Of course, because the unicorn here is closest to that wizard. Solim replied.

After thinking about it carefully, Draco’s face changed: “You mean… That wizard is near Hogwarts? Even right in school? ”

“Not too stupid, isn’t that obvious?”

Voldemort’s current situation must be very bad, so bad that he will risk his life by hunting unicorns in the Forbidden Forest. Voldemort possesses Quirrell and can also control his body to a certain extent, which means that Voldemort and Quirrell’s soul are somehow connected, and the life force provided by unicorn blood will be replenished into Voldemort’s soul through Quirrell’s body, but cursing Voldemort will definitely not want it at all.

“What a poor man.” Solim sighed.

“What?” Draco didn’t understand what Solim was talking about.

“Remember the final event I told you about the other day? That’s when the time comes. Solim was going to call Neville and Draco up to see the scene and, by the way, Evans — and that was one of his jobs.

If Draco was frightened, Harry was terrified.

Ferenzer, the horseman unlike any other, told Harry’s scalp numb: Lord Voldemort, the murderer of Harry’s parents, is still alive and ready to make a comeback, and the Philosopher’s Stone is the key item that can bring him back to life.

Harry didn’t have time to think about final exams now, nor did he have time to think about the school rules, Quidditch, House Cup, these trivial things. The only thing he had to do now was to stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher’s Stone, otherwise once Voldemort was resurrected… The horrific consequences Harry did not dare to think about.

He doesn’t review anymore, and spends all his spare time every day monitoring Snape’s whereabouts. He told Ron and Hermione about his plan, and once Professor Dumbledore left Hogwarts, it would probably be the time for Snape to make a move, so they had to keep an eye on Snape, otherwise once he stole the Philosopher’s Stone, it would be over.

Ron though a little… Not a little, it should be very scared. But he still promised his good buddy at the first time that he would do everything possible to help Harry. Hermione hesitated, for Hermione, seeing that the exam was coming, it was really difficult for her to give up her revision time to stare at Snape’s head. But Hermione also knew that if what Harry said was true, then the exam really didn’t matter anymore. If Voldemort is really resurrected, then the wizarding world will definitely roll up another bloody storm, how many terrible things Voldemort and his men did last time when they ravaged the wizarding world, Hermione already knows a lot through books. Not to mention that she herself is a Muggle-born wizard, which is within the range of Voldemort’s strikes. So neither for herself nor her inner sense of justice would allow Hermione to excuse herself.

Hermione decides to help Harry protect the Philosopher’s Stone, but the method is debatable. After all, judging from the past deeds of Harry and Ron, they are likely to mess things up. And the matter of protecting the Philosopher’s Stone is absolutely not to be lost, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.

And even if Snape was really going to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, Hermione didn’t think that just the three of them would be able to stop him from interacting with Solim… During the conversation, Hermione had heard Solim’s admiration for Snape more than once. The three of them had little chance of success against an ordinary adult wizard, let alone against an elite wizard like Snape who could teach at Hogwarts.

In the small classroom they frequented, Hermione had seen Snape’s Transfiguration firsthand, and she couldn’t think of how to resist that kind of magic.

So Hermione thought they needed to seek some help.
