I haven't said this in a long time so.... All the credit behind Harry Potter series goes to the original writer JK Rowling. A bow to her for such a masterpiece.

I'm extremely sorry for being late with the update.

Hogwarts, November 8, Friday.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked towards the Hagrid's cabin in the evening. They were supposed to serve their detention today with Hagrid. Only, no one told them they weren't the only ones there.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Ron barked at the blonde boy standing with Hagrid in the vegetable patch of Hagrid's cabin.

"As if I had choice of partners for serving detention, Weasley." said Draco Malfoy, his silver blonde hairs were heavily contrasting with the orange dawn sky.

"C'mon now, time for talking will be later. Le's get movin' if we wan' to get back before too late." Hagrid announced. He went to his cabin and fetched a crossbow.

"Hagrid, what's that for?" Ron asked in worry.

"Yeh didn' thin' forest is outta bounds fer no reason, eh" Hagrid replied, giving four students an apparent look.

Ron visibly gulped, while Hermione and Malfoy's faces became pale. Harry was frightened too, but Hagrid will be there and besides McGonagall will never set them up for something dangerous.

"Now, listen yeh four we will stick together fer sometime then separate at a clearing and look fer a wounded unicorn" He received four nods in return. Malfoy was the first to follow him, sticking as close to him as possible. Harry, Ron, and Hermione trudged behind them.

They entered the dark forest quietly, slowly making their way into the inner depths of the forbidden land. The silence was becoming very unsettling, and Harry decided to break it when Hagrid asked them to stop. They had reached the clearing.

"Yeh See that stuff shinin' on the ground? Silvery stuff? That's unicorn blood. There's a unicorn in there been hurt badly by summat. This is the second time in a week. I found one dead last Wednesday. We're gonna try an' find the poor thing. We might have ter put it out of its misery." The rest of them nodded as he further explained, "okay so, now we're gonna spilt inter two parties and follow the trail of blood in diff'rent directions. It's me, Hermione-"

"I want the dog" Malfoy said, interrupting Hagrid.

Hagrid looked at him annoyingly, "fine, but mind yeh, he's a coward".

"So, you, Fang and Ron-"

"I'm not going with Malfoy" Ron shouted at the same time Malfoy said, "I'm not taking Weasley with me".

The two nemesis glared daggers at each other before Hagrid stepped between them. He turned to Ron first, "Yer here fer detention, rememb'r" and then turning to Draco, "no interrupt'ng me again".

"Okay, it's last decision, me, Ron Hermione to the left. Harry, Draco to the right. Clear" the half giant asked him.

"With Fang" Draco stated immediately after Hagrid finished.

"Yes, with Fang. Now off yeh go".

The two groups then went ahead on their paths. Walking further into the forest, making their way past the large trees and dense bushes, Harry started to feel uneasy. His scar has started to burn, something which never happened before. He decided to start a conversation with Malfoy to avoid paying attention to it.

"So what'd you?" He asked the pale faced boy.

"What?" He asked confused.

"How come you're in detention? Which rule did you break?" Harry elaborated.
