Another Weasley

Chapter 17

So 150 points from Gryffindor was taken and 100 from Slytherin. Perfect. We all had detention with Hagrid tonight. I wasn't too upset about it. Draco was furious. So was Gryffindor. Loosing 100 points. Slytherin new they could easily make up for it. We were walking down with Filch who kept complaining about how Detention wasn't how they used to be. It used to be him in the dungeons hanging children by their toes. Hermione called it barbaric bla bla bla. We arrived at his hut and he told us we'd be hunting down a Unicorn who was injured. We followed a path where Hagrid last spotted it until we came to a fork in the path.

" All 'ight. 'Arry Draco and 'Ack go one way. I'll go with 'Ermione and Ron." He says.

" Fine but we get Fang!" Draco demands.

" Whatever. 'E's a bloody coward." He says.

We continue down our path by Harry and Draco stopped. I saw why soon enough. A hooded figure was standing over a dead unicorn, drinking its blood. Draco yelled as loud as he could then ran off with fang. Oh well. Harry stepped back but tripped over a tree root. He was clutching his forehead in pain. It approached us both and it was about to touch me when the pounding of hooves scared it away. A Centaur had leaped over us and turned to face us. Hagrid arrived on scene.

" Oh Merlin's Beard. 'Arry, 'Ack you all right?" He asks.

" Yea. Thanks to this Centaur. " I say.

" Firenze have you seen anything strange going on?"

" Mars sure is bright tonight. " he responds.

" Yea ok, 'ave you seen anything off lately?" He repeats.

" Mars sure is bright tonight." Was all he said.

Draco appears around the corner of a tree. He was shaken up and I stood there faceless. Whatever that thing was, it's paid a terrible price for drinking its blood. Saved it from dying for now sure, but it paid a terrible price.
