Chapter 52: Unicorns
In Professor Grassland's first class, the creatures he introduced to his students were unicorns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The unicorn is a beautiful animal with a long horn on a snow-white forehead like a horse. It inhabits the Forbidden Forest, and its cub unicorn is pure gold, and when it reaches the age of two, it turns silver, when it grows horns at the age of four, and it does not turn white until it reaches the age of seven. The extreme ability to run makes unicorns difficult to catch, and of course, no one will try to catch a unicorn unless there is a special intention.
It is rumored that the blood of unicorns is silvery-white, which can bring people back to life, but the price of resurrection is also huge, and those who survive in this way are destined to be cursed for the rest of their lives.
Unicorns generally avoid contact with humans, and if they do, they are more likely to come into contact with witches than with wizards.
However, Professor Grapeland seemed to have a solution, she found a unicorn and tethered it to a tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
This time, the Magical Beasts Protection class was quite discriminatory against the boys, because of the peculiarity of unicorns, the boys were ordered by Professor Grapeland to stand at a considerable distance to observe the interaction between the girls and the unicorns.
When the girls formed a row and slowly approached the unicorn, the unicorn was still very uneasy, much to Professor Graplan's puzzlement. Judging from the previous classes of Gryffindor and Slyerelin, there was nothing wrong with his own arrangement. After repeatedly confirming that no one of the boys had secretly moved forward, Professor Grapeland had to use the elimination method one by one to determine what kind of distractions had been introduced this time - well, Holly was gloriously found out of the crowd by Professor Grassland, and whenever Holly got a little closer to the unicorn, the unicorn always showed a sense of mania, even more intense than the boys.
Professor Grapeland was also puzzled by this, and had to let Holly stand farther away before he could effectively conduct the class, and Erinka seemed to have something in mind, but she didn't have a chance to mention it in front of Professor Graplan.
After a class that upset Holly, and after sending everyone away, Professor Graplane spoke to Holly alone. This is the first time the professor has encountered such a situation, and similarly, as a teacher and a lover of magical beasts, Professor Grapeland is also eager to find out what is going on.
Erinka also stayed, but she was still hesitant to say the question she had guessed, after all, the cause of the problem she had just thought of was not a good thing.
"Professor, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's right. Erinka struggled for a moment, but still said.
"Miss Sterling, what do you think?"
"Is there something about Holly that is more threatening to the unicorn, or is there something else the unicorn wants from those close to him?"
"There is a sense of truth. Professor Grapeland nodded, seeming to agree with Erinka's statement.
So what...... You wait here......" Holly put down her wand and slowly approached her, only to see that the unicorn still had a slight reaction, but it was not as resistant as before.
After a gentle stroke of the unicorn, Holly returned to Erinka and Professor Graplan, picked up her wand again, and swung her head.
"Looks like it has something to do with my wand. Holly said.
"Well, but Miss Parker, what's wrong with your wand?" asked Professor Graplan.
"No, at least when the wand was checked some time ago, Ollivander didn't say much. Holly thought for a moment and said, "If there's anything special, it's that my wand core is a unicorn's tail feathers?"
"No, there are many people who have the core of the unicorn tail feathers, and even those who can pick the core of the unicorn tail feathers will have a better fit with the unicorn ** flow. Wait a minute, I'll let this little guy go back first. Professor Grapeland paused the conversation, saw that the sun had some details, stepped forward to untie the rope, and then handed the unicorn a package, patted it, and let it go back into the Forbidden Forest.
"Alright, Miss Parker, do you have any other features of your wand, for example, any powerful spells that have been lost or borrowed from it?"
"No, absolutely impossible. Ollivander even said that he wasn't going to sell this wand in the first place, but I tried all the wands with him before he brought it to me. As for the other characteristics...... "Holly seemed to think of something, and his face changed, and he returned to normal in an instant. "I don't think I've heard Ollivander say it. ”
The change in Holly's face hid from Professor Graplan, but did not avoid Erinka's eyes.
On the way back to the castle, when she was sure that there was no one around, Erinka asked, "Holly, what's wrong with your staff, or did you use some powerful spell?"
"I don't know. Holly explained.
"Then why does your face change so much when you talk about wands?"
"Just a conjecture. ”
"Guess?"
"Well, yes, I won't tell you until I'm sure. ”
"Okay. ”
"Believe me, this matter, it is better not to know than to know, and it is more beneficial to you. ”
"Yes, why?"
"Intuition. ”
Erinka didn't say anything, as if surprised by Holly's reason.
"How are you going to confirm with Ollivander?" Erin paused, "Don't tell me it's a letter, with Moody here, nothing can escape his eyes." ”
"I know that too, so I'm still thinking about it. ”
"The fireplace doesn't work, Dumbledore has the authority to monitor it, and besides, I don't think that old fellow of Ollivander would have the guts to stick his head into the fireplace to communicate with you. ”
"In fact, I don't think he wants to ...... either"
"What should I do? Why don't you find an excuse to get out of school?"
"And then, to be inundated with a pile of papers by Connell, or to be blocked by Lucius's men and to sign another impeachment of Dumbledore?" Holly retorted, "but ...... I think there was a Hogsmeade trip after a while?"
"It seems to be, but this kind of weather ...... It may or may not be canceled. Erinka glanced at the already gloomy sky, and at the large dark clouds drifting in the distance.
