*Later that night, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Alexa, Draco, and I 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 Filch and up to me. She seemed a little afraid so I took my hand in hers, in an attempt to give her some comfort. We reach Hagrid's hut.*
Filch: 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.*
Filch: A sorry lot, this, Hagrid. Oh, good God, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?
Alexa: Hagrid? What happened?
Hagrid: 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.
Jason: True. Charlie's there, he'll take care of him.
Hagrid: Yeah, but what if he don't like Romania? What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby, after all.
Filch: Oh, for God's 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 chimes in*...werewolves!
Filch: There's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that. Nighty-night.
*He leaves to go back into the castle. Hagrid picks up his crossbow.*
Hagrid: Right. Let's go.
*In the Forbidden Forest, the seven of us walk along a path. I heard some slightly scared breathing. It was from Hermione.*
Jason: You okay?
Hermione: Not really.
Jason: Figured as much.
*I offered my hand to her again. She took it gladly.*
Jason: Does that help a bit?
Hermione: A little bit. How can you be so calm, does being here not scare you?
Jason: A little. But not too badly. But I think being with my friends is what makes it easier for me to be more calm.
Hermione: What about Malfoy?
Jason: If something tries to attack us, it'll most likely go after him first.
*That got Hermione to laugh. We kept holding hands until 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 is 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 hurt bad by something.
*Harry and I suddenly see a large, cloaked figure walking through the trees. We look back at Hagrid.*
Hagrid: So, it's our job to go and find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione, Alexa, you'll come with me.
Ron: *Frightened* Okay.
Hagrid: And Harry, you and Jason will go with Malfoy.
*Draco grimaces, and Harry and I nod.*
