On Saturday Hermione, Neville, Draco, and Harry get their detention, which involves going into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid at 11pm. Draco says his father will hear about this, Hagrid says go for it, he’d be fine with it. There are signs of unicorn blood all over, and Hagrid’s trying to find out what killed one and wounded another. When they get into the forest, Harry, Hermione ,and Hagrid run into two centaurs, Ronan and Bane. Hagrid asks if they know what killed the unicorn, but their answers are indirect at best. Malfoy pulls a prank on Neville, which leads to Neville shooting up red sparks with his wand. Hagrid switches around their forest teams, having Harry go with Draco and Fang in order to stop Neville being bullied. Harry and Draco find the bleeding unicorn dead, and a figure emerges to drink its blood. Draco freaks out and runs while the hooded figure heads for Harry, whose scar feels like it is on fire. Harry is saved by a centaur named Firenze, which seems to be against centaur cultural norms, going by the scolding he gets from Ronan and Bane. Firenze takes Harry safely to Hagrid, but not before explaining what unicorn blood can be used for and hinting who might be after it. Turns out, unicorn blood can keep a person alive, but it curses them. The only person who would likely use it is Voldemort, to keep himself alive until he can get the Philosopher’s Stone. Harry gives all the details to Ron and Hermione, who try to assure Harry that Dumbledore is still there, so everyone is safe. Harry finds the Invisibility Cloak under his pillow, with a note tacked on it that says, “Just in case.”
