The next night, Edward, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco are being led to Hagrid's hut by Mr. Filch.

Filch: "A pity they let the old punishments die. There was a time detention would find you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. God, I miss the screaming. [Draco gulps, and Hermione rushes by.] You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the dark forest. [Hagrid appears with a crossbow. He sniffles.] A sorry lot this, Hagrid. Oh, good God, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?"

Hagrid: "[sniffs and sighs] Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony."

Hermione: "Well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind."

Hagrid: "Yeah, but what if he don't like Romania? {Filch rolls eyes.} What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby, after all."

Edward: "Hermione's right Hagrid. He'll be ok with the other dragons, I promise."
She smiles at Edward.

Filch: "Oh, for Gods sake, pull yourself together, man. You're going into the forest, after all. Got to have your wits about you."

Draco: "The forest? I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed. And there are...[a howl sounds]...werewolves!"

Filch: "There's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that. [Draco looks frightened.] Nighty-night. [He leaves to go back into the castle]"

Edward: "Scared Blondie?"

Draco: "No... of course not Potter!"

Hagrid: "Right. Let's go."

In the Forbidden Forest, the group walks along a path to a tree. Hagrid stops, bends down and dips his fingers in a silver puddle. He pulls out his fingers and rubs them together. A silver trail smears with his fingers.

Harry: "Hagrid, what's that?"

Hagrid: "What we're here for. See that? That's unicorn's blood, that is. I found one dead a few weeks ago. Now, this one's been injured bad by something. [Harry suddenly sees a large cloaked figure walking through the trees. He looks at Hagrid.] So, it's our job to find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione, you'll come with me."

Ron: "Okay."

Hagrid: "And Harry, Edward, you'll go with Malfoy. [Draco grimaces, and the brothers nod.]"

Draco: "Okay. Then I get Fang!"

Hagrid: "Fine. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward. [Fang whines.]"

Edward: "[looking at Draco] Great. Then we'll have two of them."

Edward, Harry and Draco are walking through a part of the forest, with Fang leading. Draco has the lamp in his hand.
