Chapter 323: Seducing Unicorns
Hermione searched the forest for a long time before she finally saw a unicorn, but it didn't stop at all, turned around and ran, and so on. Lockhart also took it......
"What then?"
"Go to a village outside the forest and find a Muggle girl?" Hermione said uncertainly, "but I won't take a Muggle Apparition, and if I walk in, it's too far away......"
"Can you find a little witch?" Lockhart furrowed Hermione's eyebrows, "but the mystery man stipulates that witches of the right age must go to Hogwarts, so it's a problem......"
"Why don't you let Ginny come...... She'll do it. Hermione said, "When I talked to her at Christmas, she told me that they had a new secret passage that led to Hogsmeade, and that she could apparition there. β
Yes, of course, because the current headmaster of Hogwarts is Snape, and even if he knew anything, he wouldn't really treat Ginny badly, at most let her accompany Hagrid on patrol.
"And how do you contact her?"
"It's useless for me to go to Hogsmeade, I don't know where the tunnels are...... But Mr. Scrimgeour gave me the note, didn't you ask Ginny to bring Professor McGonagall and Hagrid a set of notes from Mr. Scrimgeour and you. We can contact Mr. Scrimgeour and ask him to bring the news to Professor McGonagall or Hagrid, and then have Hagrid inform Ginny...... Actually, Luna is okay, but I don't know if she has a boyfriend...... I don't even know if she has a boyfriend. β
"Well, let's do it, you arrange a meeting place first. Lockhart was a little dizzy. "Find a place where Ginny knows. β
"Well, I'll look at the map. Hermione took a moment out of her bag and pulled out a map, and now she was carrying two space expansion bags by herself, and a full set of dozens of kilograms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation...... Luckily, wizards can use magic to reduce some weight. "Newtonmore, Dalwiny or Pitlochry, which city is least likely to encounter other wizards?"
"I don't know, let's pick a place with few people and meet her. β
"I haven't been to these places......" Hermione said. "Let's go to Newtonmore, when I was a child, I always heard the teacher mention Newton, who was a great scientist. β
"I'm free, you apparition. β
ββ
Newtonmore is a small place with simple folk customs and classical architecture...... It's all, and the most important thing for Hermione is that there don't seem to be any other wizards here. She also used the Confusion Charm to live in a Muggle room.
Through a note, she contacted Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour had apparently heard from Cyrith or Harry about Hermione's departure, and he asked Hermione about it.
Hermione assured him that she was emotionally stable, that she was doing something as Lockhart had been instructed to do, and that Scrimgeall would inform McGonagall and Hagrid, who would then have McGonagall and Hagrid tell Ginny to come to a specific Muggle house in Newtonmore to find her.
Hermione asked Scrimgeour not to tell Harry and Cyrith where she was, and Scrimgeour agreed, but Hermione was still uneasy...... So the address she gave was wrong. If it wasn't a girl, the Muggles would have chased people away. And if it was Ginny, the family under the Confusion Charm would have come to inform Hermione.
Then he waited quietly for Ginny to come out, and within minutes, Scrimgeour told her that the news had been delivered. Let her honestly wait.
ββ
Scrimgeour didn't bother to relay information to Hermione, firstly because Moody had praised Hermione for being smart and that he trusted Moody's judgment, and secondly because Hermione was Lockhart's girlfriend, even though Lockhart was dead. As for not telling Harry and the others about Hermione's whereabouts, it was entirely because he was so busy that he didn't have the time to care about Hermione's "running away from home".
Scrimgeour is busy contacting reliable wizards everywhere. Prepare to organize a rebellion and gather information about the last Horcrux, and once you find the last Horcrux, you can start preparing to retake the Ministry. Lockhart's death was certainly a big blow, but there was not only one way to defeat Voldemort head-on.
ββ
Hermione's identity as the daughter of the family is ...... She stayed here for a day, and when Ginny arrived in town, another family immediately came and told Hermione's "family" the news...... Hermione immediately went to meet with Ginny.
"Hermione!" Ginny ran over and hugged her tightly, "Are you okay, why did you run out, don't think about it......"
After Lockhart's death, all the notes from the Order of the Phoenix were invalid, and Ginny had already guessed what was going on. Of course, because the soul has not completely disappeared, the note still exists, but the ability to communicate is lost.
"Thank you, Ginny, I'm fine. Hermione grabbed Ginny's shoulders and parted with her, just the hug just now, Lockhart had to admit that although the two girls looked similar on the surface, Ginny was much more familiar than Hermione. It is said that the chest is big and brainless, is it because Hermione uses her brain too much that her chest is small?" "How did you get out?"
"Professor McGonagall let me skip her Transfiguration class, and I can stay here with you today," Ginny said uneasily, holding Hermione's hand, "Why did you run out, it's so unsafe outside! You're not the wayward girl......"
"Listen, I need your help, Gilderoy is still alive, but needs the blood of a unicorn to be resurrected, there are unicorns on Mount Cairngorms, and the virgin's body fragrance can attract them............" Hermione interrupted Ginny and said to her seriously, "I want you to help me get its blood and save Gildero!"
"Ahh............h
"Come with me first. Hermione grabbed her hand and began to apparition.
ββ
"You go ahead, I'll hide behind you, and if you see a unicorn, you don't move, sit down, huh...... Untie your collar a little so that your body odor is more likely to come out. β
"Oh. Ginny obediently did so, unbuttoning the front of the school robe, revealing the red cotton ** inside: "I didn't take a shower yesterday...... Won't it stink? β
"No, it's very fragrant, it smells stronger. Hermione leaned in and smelled it, a faint floral scent, like the smell of flowers grown in Weasley's garden, and I didn't know if it was body fragrance or perfume. "I saw a few over there yesterday, you go that way, you meet, just sit down on the ground, wait for it to come, once it relaxes its vigilance, you use a spell to stun it, harder!"
"Oh, well......" Ginny was speechless, "what about you." β
"I'll have to hide in the back, they're too keen to smell me," Hermione pulled out the Cloak of Invisibility and threw it on, disappearing in front of Ginny. "I'm not too far away, don't be afraid. β
I'm afraid of you now, Ginny sneered, obediently walking to where Hermione was pointing.
In April, the weather is not too cold, the trees in the forest are beginning to sprout and grow leaves, a place full of life, there are no animals along the way, this is the territory of unicorns, ordinary creatures dare not come.
ββ
After walking for more than half an hour, Ginny finally met one, but as soon as it saw Ginny, it turned its head and left, and Ginny stood blankly for a while, looking behind her, wanting to ask Hermione what was the matter.
"Maybe that's just the mother's, keep walking. Hermione approached Ginny and whispered to her.
"How long will it be before my leg hurts...... Ginny complained to her, "or we'll pitch a tent here and wait for it to come." β
"No, keep going!" Hermione said firmly, "I'm going to get it today." β
"Oh-" Ginny was afraid of provoking Hermione's "condition" and did not dare to refute it, so she had to continue walking.
Probably going deep into the unicorn's territory, they soon met a second one, and this one, the moment they saw Ginny, did not leave immediately, but watched her from a distance.
Ginny remembered what Hermione had said, then pulled out a small blanket, laid it on the floor, and sat down to rest. She was finally able to rest and fulfill Hermione's strange request, and she didn't care if she could lure the unicorn over.
After sitting for a while, she suddenly fell a little drowsy, and simply lay on the blanket and squinted her eyes.
