"This isn't forbidden anymore," Steph said. "It's okay to come up
here. Don't be so nervous."
"Well, McGonnagal wouldn't be here, then. Probably not, anyway. She would be hiding somewhere that would be forbidden—" I said.
"The forest!" Steph gasped.
"No way am I going there," I said, shaking my head. "No way!"
"We've got to," Steph said. "She's probably there. She'd be hiding somewhere which no students would go to."
I nodded slowly. "Fine."
We ran down the steps rapidly and out the door and ran back to Hagrid. "We need to go to the forbidden forest to look for Professor McGonnagal! Come with us, Hagrid, please?" Steph asked.
"I s'pose; if it's for McGonnagal…" Hagrid said, putting a jacket on. "C'mon, let's go!"
We ran to the forest. "Stay with me," Hagrid said. "You never know who would come up."
We looked around for about 40 minutes; until Steph said, "Who's that?" and pointed at something.
"Don't go!" Hagrid boomed. "It might be; Vo… Vo… it might be you-know- who!"
"He died," I said.
"He came back," Hagrid said.
Steph was gone!
She had ran after the object.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!
"STEPH!" I yelled. "Hagrid, we've got to save her!"
We ran towards Steph; she was laying on a rock; bloody and wounded. "What happened?" Hagrid and I asked at the same time.
"V… Vol…" Steph began to say. "Yaaargh."
"NO STEPH! Don't die, Steph! Noooo! NOO! Hagrid, can't you help her?!!" I shouted.
"Unicorn blood," he said. "But there's no more unicorns for… miles probably; hundreds."
"Noo!" I said. "Steph…" I cried. "You can't die now!"
"Go on and find McGonnagal… no use trying to save me…" Steph cried.
"But, Steph; we've been best friends since… babies," I said. "I can't leave you now!"
"No, just go…" Steph said, closing her eyes, not breathing at all.
"Steph!" I cried, looking at Hagrid.
He didn't say anything.
"We've got to get out of here," I said nervously. "He could come back!"
"What about McGonnagal?"
"I don't think she's here," I admitted.
Hagrid nodded and understood. He picked up Steph and we went to Hogwarts; and went to Madam Pomfrey right away. "Something happened when he had our backs turned," Hagrid said. "Can you do anything?"
"Leave her here," Madam Pomfrey said. "Come back later."
"Please don't let her die, Madam Pomfrey," I said, with my eyes sparkling with tears. "We've been best friends since babies."
She smiled at me and said, "I'll do my best."
"Well, McGonnagal wouldn't be here, then. Probably not, anyway. She would be hiding somewhere that would be forbidden—" I said.
