forbidden forest

Alex silently followed Snape, in addition with deducting 50 points he now has to patrol the forbidden forest along with the trio and Malfoy with hagrid. Alex with Snape arrived at Hagrid's hut, Alex saw Harry, Ron, Hermoine along with Malfoy , filch is leading them towards the hut and Malfoy is yelling," I will let my father know about this" along the way, Alex sighed seeing this spoiled brat from the so called pure blood family.

soon, they all arrived in front of the hut and are surprised to see that Alex is also involved in this detention, Malfoy laughed and said," look what we have here the potter twins who are punished together, I'm just now regretting that you aren't with those 3 idiots there when I tailed them, what did the great Alex did to be send with us?". Alex just looked at Malfoy and asked filch," mr.filch I heard there will be dangerous creatures like werewolves in the forest at night and they'll will wait for the visitors and ambush them to tear and eat their bodies, is it true?". Malfoy who heard it instantly became frightened and stutturing while filch thought these kids are scared and said," there will be creatures far worse than werewolves in the forest, maybe giants or dark wizards will be in that forest, I heard from Hagrid that a unicorn is dead in the forest 2 weeks ago and somebody is drinking it's blood,I hope you all will return in one piece after this patrol , little brats".

not only Malfoy all the others except Alex turned bloodless after hearing that and he is looking at filch as if to say," you even don't know how close you are to the truth". he didn't say anything and Snape also left after bringing Alex to the hut, at this moment Hagrid exited his house with a huge crossbow and he is sniffling, Alex already know it's due to the baby dragon Norbert.

sure enough after filch left , Hagrid told them that Dumbledore sent Norbert away while crying, Alex patted him to console and Hagrid is surprised by Alex in the group and asked," you've not visited me after curfew to get a detention, what are you doing here Alex?". Alex smiled awkwardly and told him that he is roaming the castle at night and caught by Snape , he didn't want the others to know about his visit to the forbidden section in the library. Hagrid and the others just nodded and went towards the forbidden forest.

when going through the forest they noticed silver coloured blood on the floor and Hagrid told them about a unicorn's death 2 weeks back and told them to divide to search for traces of it. Alex is with Ron, Harry is with Hermoine and Malfoy who is frightened is taken with Hagrid.

Ron is constantly trembling and saying," please not the spiders ", constantly and Alex is ignoring him, he want to get friends with the unicorn's since it's also leads to the inheritance, the centaurs tribe is the beginning point to the inheritance and unicorns will appear as a test, unicorn's don't allow any wizards into their territories, so the test is to get their consent and pass through secret passage behind waterfall in their territory, the key to the inheritance is the source of energy used in making the marauders map by his father, it's the test before centaurs stage and acts as a decoy,

but also needed to open the cave entrance behind the waterfall to enter a trial by Godric Griffindor.

while thinking about this they saw a little unicorn with golden skin is weakly lying under a tree and Ron who is trembling earlier become even more frightened and constantly tugging Alex saying," Alex, let's get out of here please ", Alex on the other hand observed the little one and guessed it is shot by a vicious black magic curse.

Alex moved forward with the trembling Ron and arrived infront of the small pony, the unicorn noticed them though weakened it tried to stand up and confront them only to fall again, Alex observed this and his eyes looked into the eyes of the pony, he is moving towards it with a slow pace and gently touched it.

the little unicorn also sensed he isn't here harm but help and lowered it's gaurd a little while Alex said," don't worry, I will help you ".

he lifted his wand and the unicorn looked frightened but after seeing Alex calm expression and no killing intent it calmed down a little and Alex brought the wand near the wound near the neck, he chanted," dispel " and a black gas began to rise from the unicorn, Alex carefully applied a shield charm and bent it into a sphere shape trapping the black gas and throwing it towards a tree, the tree immediately withered and lost vitality, he then applied healing magic and healed the unicorn , since it lost some blood the unicorn didn't regain much strength but it's vitality is stronger than before and it lay there looking at Alex who is healing it.

there is a sound in the bushes and Alex sensed a black magic aimed towards him and immediately cast a earth wall spell, the magic is death curse and when it clashes with the wall , the wall exploded and revealing a figure in hood looking at Alex with disgust.

Alex immediately sensed it was voldemort controlling quirell's body and Ron who is frightened fall to the ground shakingly, but Alex is looking calm in this situation and the little unicorn also shivered remembering the person that hit it with the curse.
