Chapter 13 He Really Meant Unicorns
"Just wait till my father hears about this!" Malfoy exclaimed.
"Merlin can you stop with the whining!" I growl.
Harry laughs. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're scared Draco."
"I'm not scared Potter!" He spat.
Just then something howled in the woods and Draco gripped my arm. "Did you hear that?"
Harry and I shake our heads but i nonetheless keep walking. We seemed to be walking for hours and I was beginning to wonder how far away we are. As we go down a hill Malfoy and i freeze horrified.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
He looks over and sees what I see, a black cloaked figure eating a unicorn. Suddenly my scar begins to burn furiously and I yelp and hold my head and so does Harry. During this Malfoy screamed and ran way as the black figure began approaching us. The pain is radiating off of me and I try to walk but can't. Harry begins to walk backwards and is pulling me with him as we both back up but a stupid root trips us. We fall to the floor and stare horrified as it approaches us. Just as it was getting really close, the sound of hooves appeared. Seconds later a half man half horse appears and begins to taunt the figure, rearing up its legs to scare it away and sure enough it does. I stay sitting and just stare in awe at the creature as Harry walks over to it.
"Harry and Ashley Potter, you are not safe here, you are known to many things in this forest."
"Thank you, for saving us." Harry said with a small smile.
"It is no favor, drinking the blood of a unicorn is a great crime. It gives a person or thing life even if you are close to death. But in return if give you half a cursed one." The centaur says.
I blink confused but otherwise walk over. "What was that thing, that attacked us?"
"What do you believe it was? Something dark, something cursed.."
"You don't mean Voldemort." I say with wide eyes.
The centaur just grimly nods.
"Harry? Ashley?" Somebody calls.
We both look up and see the others.
"AH I see you meant my friend." Hagrid said.
The centaur nods and turns back to us. "This is where I leave you, good luck Potters."
