When the unicorn was three or four paces away from him, it froze, and there was still some hostility in the eyes of McGoss.
Hermione tried to push it, but instead of moving forward, it took a step backwards. Hermione looked at this scene in disbelief, recalling McGoss's words, is it true that unicorns are as only pure-hearted virgins can touch, as he said? But why had she never seen such an introduction in any book...
McGoth watched the unicorn's actions, and secretly rejoiced that he had brought Hermione over, otherwise he would have been able to watch such a beautiful creature die. But he is still a little unhappy in his heart, obviously I am trying to save you, but you are only a woman, if it is just me to save it, it is estimated that you can not even want your life, to it is a womanizer McGoth just wants to say, I didn't expect you to be such a unicorn! Although I really want to touch and even ride this mysterious and rare magical beast, since it is so resistant, McGoth can only forget it.
In fact, both McGoth and Hermione thought about it, and although unicorns were more inclined to contact witches than wizards, it was by no means as exaggerated as McGos thought. The reason why it was hostile to him was because he had been with Quirrell and the others, and because he had been shrouded in Voldemort's magic, the unicorn thought that he was in league with the evil man who attacked him, so he resisted him so much.
Unicorns are born with unbelievable perceptions, they can sense the breath of humans or animals approaching them, and whether they are hostile to it. And the reason why it is so sensitive is actually because of its beauty and the whole body is a treasure, its horns have the effect of detoxification and poison identification, it is the most ideal knife handle and the best material for many wizards, its blood and hair have strong magic, especially its tail hair is still a necessary item to make a wand, and the silver-white blood flowing on its body even has the effect of extending life, of course, after drinking the blood of the unicorn, it was also cursed.
Now the unicorn's hostility towards McGoth was only the 'smell' of him that kept him from getting too close, but it could also sense McGoss's kindness, so it didn't leave after it could get up. Then, after Hermione had examined its wound again, she rubbed her again, and walked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest under her reluctant gaze.
"Do you think we'll see it again?" On the way back, Hermione glanced back from time to time.
"Yes, although I don't know if it's still this one, but we need to come over often to treat the unicorn these days." McGoth remembered that Voldemort in the original book had sucked up the blood of at least three unicorns, which was obviously too little for him.
"What the hell is hurting these beautiful and harmless creatures, you should tell Hagrid or the Professor what you know, instead of waiting for them to get hurt and come and save them."
McGoth was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it, I tell you that once I say it, I'll die, do you believe it." ”
"Dead ......," Hermione's voice changed in fright, "how come?" Don't make such jokes. ”
"I also want it to be just a joke, but alas, he is real, so I hope you can hide what happened just now and what happened in the next few days and not tell anyone, because only then can I live."
"Why is this happening, who is attacking the unicorn, and who is threatening you, Quirrell?" Hermione asked in a trembling tone.
"I can't say it, you just need to keep it a secret, and whether I can survive this time depends on your help." Hermione nodded her head in agreement with both worry and fear, and the good mood of seeing the unicorn just now disappeared in an instant. The two returned to Hagrid's cabin in silence.
"Why did it take so long for you to come back, and what did you do?" Harry took the invisibility cloak and asked curiously.
"Got something, I don't know it, I need to rely on Hermione." As he spoke, he took out a few magical plants around the Forbidden Forest that he had prepared a long time ago.
"What's the use of you asking for this?" Ron looked and saw that he didn't recognize.
"Well, these materials are needed for the assignment that Professor Snape has been assigning recently."
Hearing McGoth say that Snape Harry and Ron's expressions were a little bad, he didn't ask anymore.
Hagrid became curious and asked him carefully what he had to do with Professor Snape, and McGoth told him that he had met him by chance before he came to school, and that he would teach him something privately when he came to school. Hagrid was very happy that McGoth had such an opportunity, and kept saying that he must listen to Professor Snape.
Harry was a little angry, how could they not see through Snape's evil intentions, and couldn't help but speak.
"Snape wasn't a good guy, he always wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone."
Hagrid's smile suddenly became serious. "Harry, Professor Snape is a good man, he wouldn't want the Philosopher's Stone, because it wouldn't be of use to him."
Harry tried to defend himself, but he couldn't find a reason why Snape wanted the Philosopher's Stone, but he could feel Snape's desire for the Philosopher's Stone, as could be seen from Professor Quirrell.
The scene cooled down, and none of them could convince anyone, so they ended the party hastily.
"I'm sorry Harry, but I still don't think Professor Snape will hurt the students." Hagrid said as he sent them out the door.
Harry's face was ugly, and he didn't make any unnecessary retorts and nodded away. None of them spoke along the way, Harry and Ron were obviously angry with McGoss, and Hermione didn't have the heart to speak now.
But halfway through, Harry stopped abruptly, his hand on his forehead and a pained expression. Ron was startled and quickly asked what was wrong, and Hermione also looked at him with a puzzled and worried expression. McGoth subconsciously took out the magic prop, and sure enough, the coordinates on the prop were already lit up, and they were less than 20 meters away.
McGoth immediately told them to hurry back first, and he kept some distance from them.
Ron and Hermione were a little worried about Harry's situation, so they helped him and walked towards the castle. When they were far away, McGoth used Occlumency before turning back.
"That little boy is Harry. Potter, if you can. ”
"Impossible." Without waiting for Voldemort to finish speaking, McGoth coldly refused.
It's rare that Voldemort didn't say anything this time, and he didn't speak after being refused.
"Professor Quirrell, I thought you were going straight back."
"I'm going back, but I suddenly remembered some of the unicorn's habits, and I'm a little worried about whether you can treat it." Quirrell was a little embarrassed, he felt that he had forgotten such an important thing as a professor.
"Don't worry, Professor, I've already healed it."
"No way. You have my breath on you, and it would rather die than let you get close, hehe, is it already dead. Voldemort was no longer dumb, and he smirked as if he had seen Magos unable to do anything about the unicorn's death, and that was why he had promised so happily.
McGoth smiled lightly, "I'm sorry. I really managed to save it, just by being violent and stunning. ”
Even if McGoth couldn't see Voldemort's expression, he could guess his speechless anger from the sudden silence.
Quirrell laughed and gave a thumbs up to McGoss, "He'll be back tomorrow, and you'll be better off when you don't contact me, so go back." ”
"Well, goodbye, Professor."
McGoth canceled the spell when he was about to reach the castle gate, and just when he thought Harry and the others had returned to the common room, he opened the door to see them lined up in a dejected row, and Filch was looking at them with excitement, and Snape looked at McGoth who had just opened the door with a gloomy face.
"Well, good evening, Professor Snape, Mr. Filch." McGoth never thought that Harry and the others would be caught and revealed, what about his invisibility cloak?
"Very good, very good, the four Gryffindor students sneak outside without sleeping at night, Filch, can you get it and inform Professor McGonagall. I guess I should let her know about it first. ”
"As you wish, Professor Snape." Filch spoke in a rare light tone, and walked as if he were dancing.
"I don't know how your dean would feel when he saw you doing this." Snape smirked at Harry's frightened pale face.
"Professor Snape," Mygoth stepped forward, knowing that he would not be able to run this time, but still wanted to see if he could take advantage of his relationship with him.
"Mr. Will, you seem to have borrowed me to avoid Mr. Filch." Snape's soft words blocked him to death.
Sure enough, he finally caught Harry violating the school rules this time, and he did not hesitate to bury his apprentices with them.
"How did you get caught?" McGoth looked at Snape's attention and asked Hermione lightly on Harry, but Hermione didn't reply, she just stared down at her shoes, as motionless as a statue.
"Filch hid in the grass outside the door, and he was like he knew we were out." Ron replied frustratedly for Hermione.
'Nima, Filch, you think you're Teemo, the prince of the grass, and you're hiding in the grass. McGoth complained to himself, but he estimated that Filch wanted to catch him, and I don't know where he knew that he didn't have to go to Snape today, and then he hid outside to catch him, but he didn't expect to catch a few other big fish. McGoth looked at them with some guilt, and he felt that he was dragging them down.
Snape seemed to see through what McGoth was thinking, and suddenly spoke. "You think you sneaked out of the break room and didn't know it?"
"I don't think you expected Mr. Filch to be able to enter the common rooms of all grades and colleges."
Harry and the others looked at the sneering Snape in shock, they thought they were just lucky to be caught, but they didn't expect Filch to be able to go into the lounge to make rounds.
"Professor, he's violating our privacy."
"If you are all there, of course, he is doing something wrong, but so many of you are not there, then he is doing the right thing, in fact, I thought it was just the three of them, but I didn't expect Miss Know-it-all to like to violate the school rules so much."
McGoth could visibly see Hermione's hands shaking. It's hard for her, she's always been a follower, she's been caught by Snape for the first time, and it's with Harry. Mistakes were inevitable, and he couldn't bear it, but Snape would never give up the chance to punish Harry. It was wishful thinking to let him go.
Just as he was thinking about what he could do to save Hermione from punishment, the castle door opened again, and Professor Quirrell walked in, and he saw that the four people in a row had not done anything.
McGoth's eyes lit up, and when Snape looked at Quirrell with vigilance and suspicion, he whispered to Harry and the others, "This time the deduction is inevitable, I'm curious that Professor Lowe is here, Harry, haven't you been talking for Professor Quirrell before, and later you will say that Hermione was called by Quirrell, but I came back with you, and Ron and I echoed it, and it was the three of us who ran out secretly." It's better to have one less person to deduct points than everyone to deduct points. ”
Harry and Ron felt that McGoth's words made sense and decided to say that later, and Hermione finally looked up, opening her mouth to say something, but she couldn't.
"Don't say anything about sharing weal and woe, there must be a lot of points deducted this time, you can subtract one by one, if you don't agree, choose one of the three of us." McGoss's words stopped Hermione, who wanted to speak. She finally said thank you and lowered her head again, and Magos could see that her eyes were watery.
At this time, Filch also came with Professor McGonagall with an incredulous face.
"You, actually." Professor McGonagall looked at the four of them angrily. "I've never heard of sneaking out of the lounge at night! Especially you, Miss Granger, I thought you were more sober-minded, but I didn't expect you to mess around with them. ”
"Professor McGonagall, Hermione wasn't with us, she was called out by Professor Quirrell. You can ask Professor Quirrell. Harry looked at Quirrell, and when everyone else was paying attention to Quirrell, he mouthed Quirrell to help.
It was uncomfortable to look at Quirrell with Snape's aggressive eyes, he wasn't the impostor now, but he could still hold back a stammering tone and say that he had gone to find some herbs. Then when everyone looked at Harry, he was in the crowd of melon eaters, but he didn't expect Harry to suddenly pull him in, and now everyone's eyes are on him. He saw Harry's eager face and his silent words, and then he saw Magos nod slightly.
"It's... Yes, Granmorangie ... Small... Miss is my name... Called out. Quirrell's words relieved Harry and Ron, who were afraid that Quirrell wouldn't cooperate.
"yes, why didn't you just say that?" Snape looked at him with a gloomy face.
"You... You didn't ask. Quirrell looked at him innocently.
"Humph!"
"Since Miss Granger didn't sneak out, then Miss Granger should go back first." Professor McGonagall knew that Quirrell might be a lie, but she was willing to take it for granted.
"As for you." Professor McGonagall looked at them solemnly, "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Will. I thought you valued Gryffindor's honor. But you're so disappointed that all three of you are going to be locked up and doing such a dangerous thing, Gryffindor deducts 50 points. ”
“50?” Harry knew he would be detained, but he didn't expect to be deducted so much. It was the equivalent of deducting a Quidditch match that he had won for Gryffindor.
"Fifty," Professor McGonagall looked at him angrily, "50 points each." ”
Ron's eyes widened as well, "Professor, this..."
But Professor McGonagall didn't wait for him to finish, "Now let's all go back to the dorm, immediately." She glanced at them with electric eyes.
"What do you think of this punishment?"
"I think it's good, Professor McGonagall." Filch smug looked at the three boys who were walking back dejectedly. Snape nodded and didn't speak.
"That's... That, I... I can also go... Let's go. Quirrell asked weakly.
