Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Someone else does. There, I said it, so stop suing me. Oh yeah I do own Evan though.
Chapter 4Now that Evan knew how he was going to lure Harry into the Forbidden Forest it was time for him to put his plan into action. He set off toward his first class, Potions, it would be easiest to get Harry in trouble in this class. Once he arrived in class he took a seat next to Harry, Ron, and Hermione he plotted out the best way to execute his plan but while he was thinking he was interrupted by Professor Snape's voice.
"Today you will be making the antidote to The Draft of Living Death." Snarled Professor Snape. "Come and get your ingredients when you are ready and make sure you follow the instructions on the board." "And Mr. Longbottom try not to destroy anything today, I have an awful headache and I don't want to be bothered is that clear…good. Now get to work!"
"This is great," Evan thought to himself, "With Professor Snape in a bad mood it will be even easier to get Harry detention."
After everyone had gotten their ingredients and started mixing their potions together Evan slipped some extra dried nettles into Harry's cauldron. He waited a few minutes and after nothing happened slipped a few more in. Instantly the potion turned from brown to a very vivid puke green and started to bubble uncontrollably. As soon as Harry noticed this and tapped Hermione on the shoulder.
"Hermione is your potion supposed to look like that?" Harry asked her quickly.
"Oh my goodness no." She gasped. "It's supposed to be brown and simmering."
While Hermione was distracted by her potion Evan was silently cursing himself for ruining the wrong potion. Suddenly an idea popped into Evan's head. While nobody was looking he took his foot and pushed Hermione's cauldron over. No one noticed him do it because as the potion hit the dungeon floor it burned through it and everything in its path like acid. The kids scrambled out of the way as Professor Snape yelled, "Who caused this mess?"
"I…I …I did Professor" Hermione said as she trembled furiously under Snape's glare. "I don't know what happened my potion was fine a min…" Hermione started to say but was cut off.
"I don't care what your excuse is, you destroyed my room." He snarled. "Everyone leave immediately, if you are hurt go to the hospital wing. As for you Miss Granger, you have detention tomorrow. Be at my classroom at 7:00 and no later." Professor Snape said just before storming out of his ruined classroom.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Evan started toward the Gryffindor Commom Room to wait out the rest of the class when Evan stopped walking.
"Sorry guys but I have something I need to take care of but I'll catch up with you later." With that said he turned and ran toward the front door of the school.
Once he was outside he checked to make sure no one was looking and then headed toward the Forbidden Forest. He ran straight in and started looking around for something, anything. Then he spotted it, a Hinkypunk
"He remembered the story he heard of Voldemort killing unicorns and Hagrid taking students with detention with him into the forest so he figured killing a few of them would get the same results.
He set off toward the Hinkypunk as quietly as he could manage and slipped out his wand. He hid behind a tree and watched as the animal was looking for food. "It really is a shame that I have to kill this creature." He thought. "But I gotta do what I gotta do."
He slipped out from behind the tree and muttered a curse under his breath. Before the hinkypunk could look up it had a huge gash in the side of its stomach. It screeched
wildly and started to run toward Hogwarts, the gash bleeding a continuous flow. Evan cringed at what he had done then shrugged it off as something that was necessary.
(Meanwhile, back at Hagrid's Hut)
"Blimey what was that noise?" Hagrid said as he started toward his door.
He walked out of his hut just in time to see a small figure collapse at the edge of the Forest. "Oh my go'ness, is that a hinkypunk" "I wonder what could have done this."
Hagrid walked a little farther into the forest and found another one hurt really bad, and a little ways away he saw another one dead. He went straight to Dumbledore with this problem.
Hagrid went as quickly as he could to Dumbledore's office. When he reached the gargoyle he said the password, "Chocolate Frogs" and went in.
"Professor Dumbledore," Hagrid gasped, "som'thins been killing Hinkypunks in the Forbidden Forest." "I've found three of um. I'm going to go looking for whatever it is that killed um."
"Hagrid, that's a good idea, but I am going to send a few students with you into the forest they have detention, I think it will be a good experience for them." Said Professor Dumbledore.
"That's sounds fine Professor, jus' don' send any first years, they scare too easily." Hagrid said.
"Alright they'll be sent to your hut at 7:30 sharp." Professor Dumbledore said sealing the agreement.
"Good day professor"
"And a good day to you Hag rid."

"I can't believe that I have detention!" Hermione sighed sadly" "Me of all people." She said to Ron and Harry who were sitting in the common room with Hermione waiting for 7:00 o'clock.
At ten minutes to seven Hermione stood up and said goodbye to Ron and Harry.
"I'll see you guys later, wish me luck." She said.
"Good luck" Ron said
"We'll wait up for you" Harry said
"Thanks" she said, then turned and walked to portrait hole and gave them one last smile before she left.
