Chapter 67: Severus, Come to My Room!
Hagrid was roaming the Forbidden Forest with his left hand holding his teeth, his right hand carrying an heirloom oil lamp covered in oil, and a huge bow hanging from his body.
Recently, the forbidden forest has not been peaceful.
First a group of people harassing Professor Sprout's greenhouse, then trolls breaking into the castle, and unidentified creatures attacking unicorns these days......
Every night, Hagrid would make a short round, after all, many of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest were fragile and needed his protection.
Hagrid actually wanted to take the three-headed dog Lou Wei on a trip, which was more worthy of his physique, and his teeth were worse, although he was fierce and brave, but he lacked momentum.
In the distance, there was a sudden loud roar, and then ...... Hagrid saw a tornado-shaped wind sweeping away, tearing a large mass of black fiery snakes apart.
Hagrid and Tooth both ran away, but in two completely opposite directions:
a place to go to the battle of wizards; One wants to run back to the small house and hide in the fireplace.
Yaya had only run for a few meters before he felt the rope tighten his neck instantly, and it was almost foaming at the mouth, and after dragging it for a few meters, it struggled to get up, turned around and rushed frantically towards Hagrid.
Out of the corner of his eye, Hagrid caught a glimpse of teeth popping up, and exclaimed:
"Good tooth, I knew you were very brave......"
Tooth whimpered, it seemed to smell something, and suddenly looked up and roared in one direction, and Hagrid followed the field of vision, and saw a familiar broomstick speeding towards it.
He shouted:
"Rove, is that you?!"
The broomstick whizzed overhead, and when it heard the shouting, it quickly turned back and hovered three meters above the ground, with a blonde boy sitting on it.
Hagrid smelled the strong smell of blood, and he was terrified, thinking that Rove had brought Hermione and Shirley to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night to practice riding...... I was injured and bleeding.
"Hagrid, is there something wrong?" Rove asked.
"No, you...... Is something wrong? ”
"A unicorn is injured!" Rove said succinctly: "I'll leave first if it's okay, the unicorn needs urgent treatment......"
The broomstick rebooted, and Hagrid hurriedly shouted, "Do you need me to do something?" ”
"Hemostatic medicines, white fresh, and herbs that can be used to cure diseases are all fine."
Rove's voice grew farther and farther away, and Hagrid could only vaguely hear the boy say:
"Send it to ...... Principal's Office ......"
……
……
Gryffindor Tower,
Hermione sat on the bed with her back to the pillow, flipping through a thick magic book.
There were also several notebooks piled up next to the pillow, and on the notes was a clear bottle with a flying firefly in the bottle.
The fireflies came from Rove, which he used to catch silverfish during his night trip to the library...... Hermione later kept it, and she used it as a lamp at night, gentle and not glaring.
The curtain on the bed also blocks the light and does not interfere with the sleep of other roommates.
Hermione glanced up at the alarm clock hanging beside her bed, and saw that it was half past eleven, and she was about to finish her study day...... Go to bed with lights out.
There's a history of magic tomorrow morning!
Suddenly there was a whistling sound outside the window.
The girl thought it was going to thunder and rain, so she got up from her bed and carefully stepped out of bed, intending to close the window.
Hermione, who was wearing a pink nightdress, pulled on her fluffy slippers and came to the window, but saw a bright moon, hanging in the air, not like thunder and rain?
Hermione, confused, suddenly widened her eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a black dot flying from the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
The black dot grew bigger and bigger, and it was a teenager riding a broomstick, so fast that it was wrapped in a whistling sound of breaking through the air.
With the bright moonlight, Hermione, who had excellent eyesight, could easily see the young man's face on the broomstick.
Ralph!
Hermione waved her hand vigorously, and the figure seemed to spot the small figure by the window, and waved it, but instead of flying over, it continued to crash towards the window of the headmaster's office.
The girl was a little excited at first, she didn't expect to see Rove in the middle of the night, but she soon became annoyed, and he went on a night tour of the Forbidden Forest on a broomstick.
After waiting for a while, but not seeing Rove coming, Hermione had to return to the bed, she closed her eyes, and murmured softly, almost cursed:
"Fire you...... Expel you...... Sooner or later, you will be fired......"
……
……
Rove's speed was too fast, he didn't even see who was beckoning, and he was going to ride a broom to see which little wizard's bedroom it was when he had time to do so.
At this moment, he approached the castle wall, the broom slowed down sharply, and the boy hunched over his hands against the broom, and passed through the window of the headmaster's office with precision, like a lion in a circus with a ring of fire.
The broom brakes suddenly, making a beautiful arc, and finally stops in front of a portrait!
Rove wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The owner of the frame, Phineas Black, who had fled into the frame of the other portraits, jumped to his feet and cursed:
"I'm going to die, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, be careful to break my portrait!"
All the portraits looked at Rove, it was the first time they had met a student who had come to the principal's office, not through the main entrance, but through the window!
Rove jumped off the broomstick, he put the box on the chair, then looked up and said:
"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, Phineas, but something happened to the Forbidden Forest."
"What's the matter?" Phoenix asked curiously. "I saw Dumbledore hurrying out too."
"You still don't know, it's serious, it may affect the safety of Hogwarts and the wizarding world." Rove opened the box and slipped headlong inside.
"Don't go, you tell me, Rove, tell me quickly!" Phoenix wailed:
"You don't tell me how I'm going to sleep tonight, boy, I apologize to you, I just spoke a little louder, don't go......"
But a hand poked out of the box, gave Phineas a middle finger, and slammed it over it.
Rove jumped into the room and found it chaotic, the bed had been overturned, and it seemed that the vertigo bird had done it, but he didn't have time to care about her right now.
Rove placed the unicorn on a workbench and examined its injuries.
The unicorn had only one wound, and that was its neck, but the wound was blackening, with obvious swelling, and the wound was bleeding profusely.
In Rove's experience, in addition to the relatively large tooth holes, the symptoms of the whole wound are more like being bitten by a poisonous snake with blood toxins.
He took out a small porcelain vase, which contained an ointment as black as ink, which was like a mixture of water and grease, and was very sticky.
The boy's bottle was facing down, and the ointment did not pour like a pour, but slowly dripped down the unicorn's wound like droplets.
After an unknown amount of time, another figure appeared, and Dumbledore entered Rove's box and looked around curiously.
It was an environment that made him feel very intimate, as if he had entered Newt's little box.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the room cleaned up automatically, and he sat down on his stool and asked, "How's it going, Rove?" ”
"The unicorn's wound has snake venom and has been removed by me, but there is black magic to prevent the wound from healing." Rove shook his head and said, "It's not my specialty. ”
Dumbledore bowed his head lightly, "It seems that we still need to find someone who has in-depth research in the field of dark arts.
Let's go, take the unicorn back to the office first. ”
The two returned to the Headmaster's office, where Dumbledore placed the unicorn on a table and headed towards the fireplace, grabbing a handful of shiny powder from a jar on the mantelpiece shelf and scattering it on the flames.
"Severus!" Dumbledore said into the flames, "Are you there?" ”
Soon, the form of a person appeared in the fire, and the voice said coldly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I need you to come to my office right now."
The voice in the flames was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know what time it is?" Mr. Principal? ”
"But haven't you slept yet?" Dumbledore blinked.
"I'm going to sleep!" The voice roared.
"That's better, it doesn't take away from your work time." Dumbledore smiled.
“……”
"Hurry up." The headmaster happily urged, "Severus, I need you now, and by the way, bring those strange tools of yours, as well as potions...... I'll wait for you. ”
“……”
