The Forest

RECOUNT

- In your own words what has happened in the book? At any point in the story, retell the major details of the story's plot so far.

I am now close to the end of the book and the story becomes more and more exciting. Harry and his friends were caught sneaking around the schoolyard at night. They each got 50 minus points for their house and all were angry at Harry. Finally, they had to go into the forbidden forest with Hagrid as an additional punishment. Malfoy was also there as he was not in bed when Finch had seen them.

So, she set off with Hagrid into the forest. There they were to look out for an injured unicorn. Supposedly there was someone in the forest who hurt these magnificent and magical animals and they had to stop them.

In search they meet a group of centaurs. But they couldn't help them either and so they went on searching. Of course, Malfoy had nothing better to do than panic Neville and Harry had to change groups.

A little later Harry's group finds the injured unicorn and sees someone drinking his blood. The murderer turned around and was about to attack Harry, who could not move in his scar because of fear and pain when a centaur came to his aid. The centaur's name was Firenze and he brought Harry back to the others. On the way he explained that this could have been Voldemort, since drinking the blood of a unicorn can lead to becoming immortal. But if you do, you become cursed.

I found chapter 16 to be the best of all so far, as you also get an uncomfortable feeling if you read the story with the forest and can put yourself into the story.
