[The next night, Juniper, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco are being led to Hagrid's hut by Mr. Filch.]
Filch: A pity they let the old punishments die. There was a time detention would find you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons. God, I miss the screaming. [Draco gulps, and Hermione rushes by.] You'll be serving detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest. [Hagrid appears with a crossbow. He sniffles.] A sorry lot, this, Hagrid. Oh, good God, man, you're not still on about that bloody dragon, are you?
"Who is letting this man still work here?" Barty Jr says
Hagrid: [sniffs and sighs] Norbert's gone. Dumbledore sent him off to Romania to live in a colony.
Hermione: Well, that's good, isn't it? He'll be with his own kind.
Hagrid: Yeah, but what if he don't like Romania? [Filch rolls eyes.] What if the other dragons are mean to him? He's only a baby, after all.
Filch: Oh, for God's sake, pull yourself together, man. You're going into the Forest, after all. Got to have your wits about you.
Draco: The Forest? I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed. And there are... [a howl sounds] ...werewolves!
"He's got a good point" Sirius says
Juniper: That's a good point.
Filch: There's more than werewolves in those trees, lad. You can be sure of that. [Draco looks frightened.] Nighty-night. [He leaves to go back into the castle]
Juniper: [quitely] Weirdo.
Hagrid: Right. Let's go.
[In the Forbidden Forest, the group walks along a path to a tree. Hagrid stops, bends down and dips his fingers in a silver puddle. He pulls out his fingers and rubs them together. A silver trail smears with his fingers.]
Harry: Hagrid, what is that?
Hagrid: What we're here for. See that? That's unicorn's blood, that is. I found one dead a few weeks ago. Now, this one's been hurt bad by something. [Harry suddenly sees a large, cloaked figure walking through the trees. He looks at Hagrid.] So, it's our job to go and find the poor beast. Ron, Hermione, you'll come with me.
Ron: Okay
Hagrid: And Harry, June, you'll go with Malfoy. [Draco grimaces, and Harry and Juniper nod.]
Draco: Okay. Then I get Fang.
Hagrid: Fine. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward. [Fang whines.]
[Harry, Juniper and Draco are walking through a part of the forest, with Fang leading. Draco has the lamp in his hand.]
Draco: You wait till my father hears about this. This is servant's stuff.
Juniper: If I didn't know better, Draco, I'd say you were scared.
Draco: Scared, Potter? [He scoffs, but suddenly hears a howl] Did you hear that? Come on, Fang. Scared!
[Harry, Juniper and Draco approach a flat ground with gnarled roots all over. Fang stops, then growls.]
Harry: What is it, Fang?
[Up ahead is a cloaked figure who is crouching over a dead unicorn, drinking its blood from its wound. The figure raises its head, silver blood dripping from its mouth. Juniper gasps and Harry grabs his scar, which is hurting. Draco screams with pure fear and runs away with Fang.]
"AHHHHHHH" the young people in the great hall screamed
Draco: HELP!!!!!
[Harry and Juniper are left by themselves at the mercy of the figure who slides over the unicorn and rises erect. It advances towards them, they back up, but trip. He crawls backwards. Suddenly, there is the sound of hoof-beats. A figure leaps over the twins and lands near the cloaked figure. It is a silver centaur called Firenze. It rears, and the cloaked figure retreats, flying away.]
Firenze: Harry and Juniper Potter, you must leave. You are known to many creatures here. The Forest is not safe at this time. Especially for you two.
Harry: But what was that thing you saved me from?
Firenze: A monstrous creature. It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Drinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death. But at a terrible price. You have slain something so pure that from the moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life.
Harry: But who would choose such a life?
Firenze: Can you think of no one?
Juniper: Do you mean to say that thing that killed the unicorn that was drinking its blood, that was Voldemort?
Firenze: Do you know what is hidden in the school at this very moment, Miss. Potter?
Juniper: [realizing] The Philosopher's Stone.
[Fang suddenly barks, Juniper and Harry look up to see Hagrid, Hermione, Ron and Draco appear. Hagrid has his crossbow ready but lowers it when he sees Firenze.]
Hermione: June! Harry!
Hagrid: Hello there, Firenze. I see you've met our young Potters. You all right there, June? Harry? [Harry and Juniper nod]
Firenze: Juniper and Harry Potter, this is where I leave you. You're safe now. Good luck.
[He leaves as the group look at the dead unicorn.]
