Chapter 486: Unicorn Pre-Attack Incident

Ever since the little dragon Noble was sent away by Harry, Hagrid has not been in a good mood. As a result, he wrote several letters to Charlie in Romania, asking about Noble's recent life. Because of the distance, it took a long time to receive a reply each time.

However, something bad happened in the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid had to retract the energy he had poured into Noble and refocus on his work.

Not long ago, Hagrid found a pool of silver blood in the Forbidden Forest. In the limited memories of the hunting ground keeper, among the various magical creatures that lived in the Forbidden Forest, only the blood of the unicorn was this unique silvery-white color.

This means that one of the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest has been injured.

Hagrid had never seen any creature in the Forbidden Forest that could harm a unicorn.

Not only do unicorns possess great magical powers, but they are also extremely fast, and there are very few creatures in the Forbidden Forest that can catch up with them.

This never bodes well.

It was the first time Hagrid had encountered such a situation after being a hunting ground keeper for so long, and he had to figure out what creature had hurt the unicorn.

At this moment, in the hunting lodge, Hagrid was adjusting his crossbow that he had not used for a long time, carefully examining every arrow in his quiver to make sure that they would not inexplicably fall off their chains when they needed to come in handy.

Before leaving, Hagrid glanced up at the umbrella placed next to the bed, but finally did not bring his wand.

If possible, Hagrid avoided using it as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Dumbledore.

"Tooth to follow. ”

As Hagrid closed the door to the hut and prepared to enter the woods to look for the wounded unicorn, he faintly heard someone not far away greeting him.

"Hagrid, are you going into the woods?"

Albert looked at Hagrid's gear, probably guessing what was going on.

"One of the unicorns was injured. Hagrid explained, "I'm going into the woods looking for it." ”

"At this point in time?" Albert asked, looking up at the sun overhead, confused.

"Is there something wrong?"

"It should be hard to find this time!"

Hagrid was a little confused, not understanding what Albert meant.

"I remember that the blood of unicorns was silvery white and glowed faintly at night, which was evident in the Forbidden Forest and could easily be found, but it was not easy to find the injured unicorns when you went into the woods during the day. Albert noticed the change in the expression on Hagrid's face and casually explained.

"Oh, you're right. I have to go, though. Hagrid raised his hand and scratched his head, but he didn't give up on the idea of going into the woods to search for the unicorn now.

"Don't worry, even if you go into the forest now, you won't be able to find the unicorn for a while, tell me what is going on here!" Albert naturally did not intend to let go of this opportunity, and was ready to try it to see if he could brush up on a new task from this matter.

Hagrid hesitated, but finally told Albert that he had found the unicorn injured in the Forbidden Forest.

"It was this morning that I found the blood of that unicorn in the Forbidden Forest. Later, after careful searching, blood stains left by unicorns were found in many places. It's been stumbling around the Forbidden Forest since at least last night. Hagrid recalled, "I never had that happen. ”

"Hagrid, have you ever wondered what caused the unicorn to get hurt? Albert asked suddenly.

"It's ......," Hagrid clearly hadn't thought about it.

"It's not so easy to catch a unicorn, this magical creature has a strong magic in its own right, and it is also very resistant to magic. "Don't forget, unicorns live in the Forbidden Forest, have few predators, and if they try to escape, they will be very difficult to catch." ”

"That's right. Hagrid muttered.

"Why do unicorns run around, that would undoubtedly aggravate the injuries on their bodies. ”

"You mean ......"

"I think it's most likely hiding from an enemy that hurts it. Albert voiced his guess.

"Did you find anything?" Hagrid felt compelled to listen to Albert's speculation, which might be speculation or nonsense, but it never hurts to listen.

"Like you said, this has never happened. Albert said calmly, "Killing a unicorn is an extremely brutal thing, and ordinary creatures are no match for unicorns, let alone injuring them, unless they are cubs. Why can't we think differently, humans are actually their natural enemies. ”

"I'm afraid it's a dark wizard who hurt the unicorn!"

"Dark wizard, why is the dark wizard hunting unicorns?"

"Garon," Albert speculated, "the horns, fur, and other things of a unicorn are valuable, and sometimes anything is done for Garon's sake." ”

"For Garon?" Hagrid almost roared, "for Garon to kill a unicorn?" ”

"Of course, there could be other reasons. Albert plucked his ear with his little finger, and when Hagrid's roar was over, he suddenly asked rhetorically, "Hagrid, do you know what unicorn blood is for?"

"Unicorn blood?" Hagrid's eyes were confused.

"The blood of a unicorn can be used to keep a dying person alive. Albert whispered, "Maybe some dark wizard is trying to keep himself alive with the help of the unicorn's blood. ”

"Oh my God!"

Hagrid was stunned by Albert's speculation.

If that's the case, you'd better expect that person to have succeeded, or failed and died. Albert continued.

"Why?"

"It is said that the blood of a unicorn needs to be drunk while it is still alive to be effective. Albert glanced at the mission panel where he finally moved, and after talking so much to Hagrid, he had finally triggered a mission to help Hagrid find the injured unicorn.

It's not easy!

"If the man doesn't get the unicorn to drink its blood before it dies, I'm afraid there will be another attack. ”

"Oh my God, we have to stop him. Hagrid jumped out of his chair and prepared to head into the woods in search of the possible Dark Wizard.

"This is just speculation. ”

"Speculation?" Hagrid looked at Albert deeply and couldn't help but sigh, "No, it's not speculation at all, but I saw what happened with my own eyes." ”

"I predicted this in a divination class a long time ago, and I told you about it. Albert glanced at Hagrid and reminded. "However, because of Noble's relationship, you probably left this matter behind!"

"You go on ......" Hagrid was a little embarrassed, he had indeed forgotten about it, and quickly changed the subject, allowing Albert to continue, he also wanted to hear what was going on.

"The situation is probably that a dark wizard used magic to seriously injure a unicorn, but the unicorn itself is a very magical creature, and its speed is also very fast, so it is not so easy to kill, so the dark wizard who injured the unicorn did not get his wish.

You can only chase the unicorn around in the forest, which is why you will find the blood of the unicorn everywhere. ”

"Kind of makes sense. Hagrid nodded.

"You don't mind if I go with you to find the unicorn!" Albert and Hagrid walked side by side to the Forbidden Forest in front of them, "I don't know what is going on until I see what is going on, and I have very little information." ”

"Don't you have to go to class in the afternoon?" Hagrid asked, confused.

"Don't worry, I have other ways to solve the problem of class. Albert casually comforted.

"No, I can't. ”

Hagrid has finally had a showdown with Albert, and if that dark wizard is still hunting unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect your life.

"Don't worry, I don't think that dark wizard will show up during the day. ”

"Why?"

Why?

Albert was speechless, he couldn't say that Quirrell needed to teach in class in the morning.
