over dead leaves
sounded like a cl alrid was squinting
up the dark path, but after a few seds, the sound faded away.
”i k, ” he murmured. ”there's summat i shouldn'
be.”
”a werewested.
”that wasn' no werewolf an' it wasn' no uher,”
said hagrid grimly. ”right, follow me, but ow.”
they walked more slowly, ears straini
sound. suddenly, in a g ahead, somethiely moved.
”who's there?” hagrid called. ”show yerself -- i'm armed!”
and into the g came -- was it a man, or a horse? to
the waist, a man, with red hair a below that was a
horse's gleami body with a loail. harry
and hermione's jaws dropped.
”oh, it's you, ronan,” said hagrid in relief. ”how are yeh?”
he walked forward and shook the taur's hand.
”good evening to you, hagrid,” said ronan. he had a deep,
sorrowful voing to shoot me?”
”'t be too careful, ronan,” said hagrid, patting his
crossbow. ”there's summat bad loose in this forest. this is
harry potter an' hermier, by the way. students up at the
s' this is ronan, you two. he's a taur.))
”we'd noticed,” said hermioly.
”good evening,” said ronas, are you? and do you
learn much, up at the school?”
”erm --”
”a bit,” said hermioimidly.
”a bit. well, that's something.” ronan sighed. he flung back
his head ahe sky. ”mars is bright tonight.”
”yeah,” said hagrid, glang up, too. ”listen, i'm glad
we've run inter yeh, ronan, 'cause there's a uni hurt --
you seen anythin'?”
ronan didn't aely. he stared unblinkingly upward,
then sighed again.
”always the ihe first victims,” he said. ”so it
has bee, so it is now.”
”yeah,” said hagrid, ”but have yeh seen anythin', ronan? anythin'
unusual?”
”mars is bright tonight,” roed, while hagrid watched
him impatiently. ”unusually bright.”
”yeah, but i was meanin' anythin' unusual a bit nearer home,
said hagrid. ”so yeh haven't hin' strange?”
yet again, ronan took a while to a last, he said,
”the forest hides mas.”
a movemerees behind ronan made hagrid raise his bow
again, but it was oaur, black-haired and -bodied
and wilder-looking than ronan.
”hullo, bane,” said hagrid. ”all right?”
”good evening, hagrid, i hope you are well?”
”well enough. look, i've jus' bin askin' ronahin'
odd iely? there's a uni injured -- would yeh know
anythin' about it?”
bao stao ronan. he looked skyward. ”mars
is bright tonight,” he said simply.
”we've heard,” said hagrid grumpily. ”well, if either of you
do see anythi me know, won't yeh? we'll be off, then.”
harry and hermio of the g, staring over
their shoulders at ronahe trees blocked their view.
”never,” said hagrid irritably, ”try araight answer
out of a taur. ruddy stargazers. ed in anythin'
closer'n the moon.”
”are there many of them in here?” asked hermione.
”oh, a fair few... keep themselves to themselves mostly, but
they're good enough about turnin' up if ever i want a word. they're
deep, miaurs... they know things... jus' do on much.”
”d'you think that was a taur we heard earlier?” said harry.
”did that souo you? nah, if yeh ask me, that
was what's bin killin' the uniever heard anythin' like
it before.”
