Chapter Seventy-Three: The Forbidden Forest is Quiet in the Dead of Night

The forest path at one o'clock in the morning was clearly not a good place for peace and quiet, except for the mosquitoes and insects, and the wheezing and suppressed roars of the unknown creatures in the shadows.

But with the violent sound of the bushes in the distance, the place fell completely silent in an instant, and several pairs of green eyes, with curiosity or panic, watched the uninvited guest who suddenly came by.

"Ferenze!"

"I said I don't want it!" A tall, muscular horseman grumbled and walked briskly to the front, his bulging pectoral muscles and muscular legs proclaiming the strength of his master. It had a skinny thing on its backβ€”the creature that lived in the Forbidden Forest knew it, and it was a boy from the outside world known as a wizard.

Behind him, the same wizard, clutching his stomach, stumbled to catch up with the centaur.

What a strange vibe, not so much a rush? Rather, it's better to say - one chases and the other escapes?

"I can't raise this guy either!" Brandi chased after Ferenze as hard as he could, he didn't care what time it was, how many animals were resting in the Forbidden Forest, "I don't even know what this thing eats!" And you can't bring two pets into Hogwarts! ”

"Unicorns are very easy to raise, I've seen them eat bark, grass, honey, candy, etc., don't come here!" Ferenze dodged backwards with black lines, his hands swinging all the time. "I won't adopt this little thing if I kill me, and my willingness to help you hump this little wizard doesn't mean I like to be a babysitter! I hate cubs! ”

"I told you this thing wasn't a unicorn anymore!" Brandi panted and cornered Ferenze, "I swear! ”

"It must be, I've never seen anything else the cubs are golden!" Ferenze's horse's hooves were stomping impatiently on the ground, "And you see, it still has a little bulge on its head, and it will definitely grow horns later." ”

"But these are two drum packs! GodTM unicorn has two horns on its head! ”

……………… Ferenze scratched his head in embarrassment, his eyes rolling rapidly.

"You know... Anything can happen in this world, you see~ Today's Mars is very bright, indicating that there may be anomalies and imminent dangers~" Under Brandi's gaze, Ferencze's gaze wandered suspiciously, "That's right, so this kind of two-horned independence suddenly appeared...... Well, the two-horned beast is not unacceptable. ”

Brandi was stunned for a moment by its shameless statement.

At first, he did think that the thing that slept like a dead pig and couldn't wake up was a unicorn cub, but as he carefully picked it up, he saw the face of the thing - he almost dropped it!

It's definitely not a unicorn, Brandi dares to swear by his wand. For he had seen this little thing a long time ago, when he first got his wand.

The animal of golden light jumping happily beside him!

But shouldn't that just be an illusion? Why is it that in the blink of an eye, the sick number who was seriously injured and dying has become such a fluffy and golden little guy who can't wake up.

Then just when he wanted to ask Ferenze out loud, he heard such an irresponsible sentence - "Ah~ By the way, Barton, congratulations on becoming a father." ”

Be a daddy! Since you found it in the Forbidden Forest, take it over and help it find its mother, what does it mean to throw the little guy to a little wizard who can't even clean it up himself! No, I won't even take this pot to death!

That's why there is this peculiar drama now.

…………

"Ferenze, please...... Now the little one's parents may be in a hurry, so you can help mobilize the people of the Forbidden Forest to find its family, okay? ”

"It's not good......" Ferenze's head shook like a rattle, and he didn't know where to throw his steady and reliable image when he first appeared.

"If, by what you say, it's not a unicorn, then I don't need to help you find its parents - I can swear by the stars!" His expression was a little more serious, as if the stars were a very important and sacred thing to the centaurs, "It doesn't belong here!" ”

"But it was found in a clearing in the Forbidden Forest!" Brandi said angrily.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It also came after you did some strange things, Mr. Patton. ”

Ferencze's eyes twinkled, "I don't know exactly what's going on, but you must know it, don't you?" You should know where it came from. ”

Brandi froze, he subconsciously looked at his wand, and then held up the golden guy in his arms and looked at it carefully, he couldn't believe the strange idea he had now.

"That's it......" Ferenze leaned over and muttered slowly, "It belongs to you, it's always been ......"

A rush of footsteps came from not far away, followed by the light that warmed Brandy's heartβ€”it was Hagrid!

"Brandi! Are you okay! Hagrid ran breathlessly down the path, Neville timidly following behind, his expression like he had wandered through hell. I saw the red sparks! But it's too far away, where have you gone! What about Malfoy? ”

Ferenze shook his body and motioned for Hagrid to take the things off his backβ€”"Then I should go too, Brandi Barton, my buddy is waiting for me...... I wish the horses' prophecy tonight was a mistake, but I guess you can beat it, don't you? Good luck. ”

He turned, leaving Brandi, who was messy and confused in the wind, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

………………

They were walking out of the Forbidden Forest.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You say you just touched it, and then the unicorn's corpse disappeared inexplicably? Hagrid looked at Brandi suspiciously, "That creature still retains the power of magic even when it's dead, Brandy, you're not kidding. ”

"I didn't ......" Considering that it was too difficult to get Hagrid to accept his wand as if he was eating the unicorn and spitting out a golden glitter, Brandi finally decided to cover it up, "When Malfoy and I scared that dark shadow away, it was about to drain the unicorn's blood!" I saw that the color of the unicorn's fur had changed......"

"Oh my God!" Hagrid's eyes widened, "You said the Dark Wizard was drinking its blood?" No wonder ......"

"What's wrong?" Brandi asked rhetorically.

"No wonder unicorns are killed during this time...... It's actually drawing this, Brandi, you know. Hagrid spoke softly, "The blood of a unicorn has a magical effect that countless people covet - it can prolong a person's lifespan!" Of course, you have to pay a corresponding price, and from the moment its blood reaches your lips, you will live in a curse forever. ”

"Then why would it do it?" Brandi asked suspiciously, "To live under a curse is better than to die a hundred times, isn't it?" ”

"yes, that's why I'm surprised at what this dark wizard wants to do! Of course, you can rest assured...... He certainly won't be able to enter Hogwarts, where the Protective Charm didn't even make it possible for the mysterious people to invade. You're not in any danger, by the way, I've been wondering since the beginning, what is it that you have in your pocket? ”

……

As with Ferencze's judgment, Hagrid made a decision after just one glance at it. "This isn't a creature of the Forbidden Forest, Brandy. A close relative of a unicorn? I dare say I've never seen ...... But it looks like fun. Hagrid poked her finger at Golden Sparkle curiously, "If you can't take care of it, I think I'll be happy to adopt it!" I've always been interested in this new creature! Look at Lu Wei - don't I just raise it very well~"

"Lou Wei?" Neville, who was walking with his head bowed next to him, finally asked with trepidation.

"Oh, that three-headed dog you ran into~" Brandi replied nonchalantly, and Neville almost stumbled in fright, and his face immediately became even more ugly.

Brandi was a little moved, but as soon as he blurted out the last sentence, Brandi completely dismissed the idea of giving this thing to Hagrid's foster care - think about Harry's description, what if such a small and cute little thing ended up growing to the size of a room, and then saliva?

"No, Hagrid, I think I can do it myself, unless it's too big......" Brandy said with a rare determination, refusing, "I think I'll ask for your help then, after all, the castle can't hold anything that big, can it." ”

"In that case, well." Hagrid smacked his lips in regret.

Because of Malfoy, he had to escort Brandi and Neville back to the second floor of the castle - with an unconscious Malfoy on his shoulder. "Then let's go separate here, I need to go to the school hospital first."

He shook his shoulders, and Malfoy hung on it swaying from side to side, like a salted fish hanging from the eaves of the house with dried salt. "You guys should go back and rest early, it's really- there's an exam next week, and it's still so late for you. Go and go~"

Neville and Brandi hurried upstairs - but he had only taken a few steps before he remembered that Hermione had quietly slipped a note for him before the confinement, and specifically said that he wanted him to open it when he returned to the castle?

Is there anything that can happen at such a late hour? He couldn't help but stop slowly.

"Brandi?" Neville asked, looking out of the stairs, confused.

"Don't worry about Neville, you go up first......" He happened to be clutching his stomach at the moment. I'll go to the toilet first! Very urgent! It's too late to go back~"

He casually made an excuse to fool Neville, who was still wondering, upstairs, and then rushed to a brightly lit hallway and pulled out the note in his pocket.

There is a short sentence written on it.

β€”β€”β€”β€”I borrowed Harry's cloak of invisibility, and we'll be waiting for you in the auditorium.
