Chapter 142: The Unicorn Attacked

After the basilisk was killed, the horror in the school immediately disappeared, and Hogwarts returned to normal order.

Dumbledore also returned to the school soon after, and with his prestige, Lucius Malfoy had no power to stop his return after the events of the Chamber of Secrets.

Thanks to Dumbledore's efforts, Hagrid was soon released from Azkaban and his reputation was restored.

After being cleared of the wrongful charges, Hagrid regained the right to use his wand, though Hagrid still used his pink umbrella. No magic wand, no matter how good it is, can compare to the symbolism of this umbrella for Hagrid.

It was it that made Hagrid feel the warmth of the world from Dumbledore when he was most desperate and helpless, giving him hope of living, and it was also it that witnessed Hagrid's vow of allegiance to Dumbledore for the rest of his life.

Without revealing the power of Elder Dumbledore's wand, Hagrid could not take out his oak wand openly, and could only continue to cover it with an umbrella, but Hagrid didn't care about that.

Some seemed to be back to normal, but Dumbledore didn't have much of a happy smile when he returned. Maple and Hermione were proud of their prowess, Harry's growth was gratifying, but there were more things that bothered him.

Most of the wizarding world, with the exception of him, are still immersed in the false peace of Voldemort's dead, and they are ignorant of the hidden dangers of the wizarding world, which Dumbledore can only carry on his shoulders.

When Dumbledore returned, Harry was the first among the students to know, as Fawkes had come looking for him. Harry returned the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Gryffindor to Dumbledore, and talked to Dumbledore for a long time in the Headmaster's room.

After Harry left the Headmaster's office, his mood was noticeably brighter. It seems that the knot that Harry had been hiding in his heart for so long had finally been untied, he was a real Gryffindor, as evidenced by the Gryffindor sword he pulled out of the Sorting Hat. Harry was both amazed and thrilled to learn that the sword he had drawn was a relic of Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor House.

Hermione was most agitated when Harry later told Hermione and Maple about it, and then regretted that she hadn't touched the Sword of Gryffindor.

Dumbledore destroyed the Horcrux in the diary with the Gryffindor sword, and he discovered that the diary was a Horcrux and understood Voldemort's means of escaping death.

Knowing the way to kill Voldemort completely, Dumbledore was not happy, only a solemn face. At the same time, Dumbledore also felt a little lost and regretful in his heart, after all, he once had a teacher-student relationship with Voldemort, and Voldemort only had jealousy and a desire to kill him quickly, but Dumbledore had feelings for Voldemort.

And Dumbledore had always blamed himself, regretting that he hadn't led Voldemort to the right path. Now that he knows the existence of the Horcruxes, Dumbledore finally understands how deep Voldemort has gone on the path of evil, and he has no turning back.

Now Dumbledore is also completely conscious, just like Jiraiya saw Nagato who disappointed him, he intends to correct his mistakes with his own hands, even if it is at the cost of his own life.

Voldemort's troubles were still lingering, and Dumbledore had another problem.

After the Ministry of Magic freed Hagrid innocently, Dumbledore agreed to help solve the unicorn problem.

However, after finding the unicorns, Dumbledore learned that the poor unicorns had been attacked again while he was leaving the school. Compared to Voldemort's attack last year, the unicorn group suffered more losses this time.

This time, the number of unicorns has lost more than a dozen, which can be described as a great loss to the vitality of this unicorn group of less than 100. Fortunately, most magical creatures don't have to worry about the factor of marriage between close relatives, otherwise the group of dozens of them can already be declared extinct.

The killer was also determined to be the work of several powerful vampire bats.

From the vampire countess's inexplicable escape to the attack on the unicorn, a threat no less than Voldemort has begun to surface, and Dumbledore also feels that he can't hold on to it alone.

Time, if only he could have more time to let Harry, Hermione and Maple grow up!

There are only a few adult wizards who have achieved so much, and none of them can reach the level of him and Grindelwald, so Dumbledore can only start with the next generation.

Lacking manpower, Dumbledore discovered that the right-hand man he could count on was none other than Mad Eye Moody the former Death Eater Severus Snape.

Ten years is still too short, and time is running out!

Dumbledore suddenly thought that if only Grindelwald could help him!

Students who did not return to school were also notified and all returned to school. Halfway through the second half of the school year, the school began to announce that the unicorn contract ceremony would take place on the weekend two weeks after all the students had arrived.

Professor McGonagall's announcement also put a temporary end to the recent unfriendliness at the school, and after Maple got started, things got out of hand.

The Gryffindor lion cubs found a new pleasure, as the Slytherin baby snakes ate the snake meat, and the Gryffindor cubs were happy for the next few days. Moreover, the little lions who pursue life and death and do not accept it also tease the little snakes of Slytherin, and ask "Is snake meat delicious" as soon as they meet.

Slytherin, who was incompatible with Gryffindor, naturally couldn't bear this breath, and then the smell of gunpowder between the two houses exploded as soon as it was filled. Every day, every day, every day, the students of the two colleges are in the hospital every day, keeping Madam Pomfrey busy.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall announced the unicorn incident that the smell of gunfire between the two houses finally began to dissipate.

No student of any college can resist the temptation to contract a unicorn.

Then the front page of Hogwarts turned into unicorns, with the students talking about unicorns all day long, and Harry's killing of the basilisk quickly thrown aside.

Then, like before the first flight lesson, the students began to brag about the competition, and one by one they boasted that they were about to go to the sky, and it looked as if they could compete with the plane without flying broomsticks.

"Unicorns are good and pure beings, and in order to be approved by them, they cannot have evil intentions.

They are very close to the light, so if you can unleash powerful light magic, you will be more likely to be favored by them.

Unicorns have powerful healing powers, but they are also coveted by many evil wizards, so if you want to be a trusted partner with the unicorn, you must prove to it that you have the ability to protect it. ā€

Professor McGonagall gave them some tips on how to get the unicorn's approval, but she didn't give them a lesson in some magic that would increase the success rate of the contract.

"I'm sorry, Harry!" Seeing that Harry was sweating profusely and his body was about to fall, Maple hurriedly supported him and apologized.

Maple felt that the best thing to show in front of the unicorn was probably the Patronus Charm, and he and Hermione had no problem now, except that Harry still needed to train.

Without the Dementors, Maple naturally continued to train Harry with the Nightmare Advent Charm. This time, Maple made a big deal and weaved a nightmare in Harry's mind about his parents being killed by Voldemort.

The Nightmare was naturally based on the appearance of Lord Voldemort seen last year and the photos of Harry's parents.

The nightmare that Maple created worked so well that Harry almost collapsed to the ground.

"Harry, or"

"No, just keep going, I'll hold on!" Harry showed his resilience at this point, gritting his teeth and insisting.

"Well, if you insist!" Maple said.

The Nightmare Charm, while a trick used to train the Patronus Charm, is not as effective as training with Dementors. However, the Nightmare Charm does not drain pleasure like a Dementor would, so the side effects are much lighter and can be trained repeatedly.

But the time was still too short, and a week had passed, and Harry had not made much progress other than the thicker fog of the Patronus.

When Hermione learned the Patronus, she didn't rely entirely on her own talent, and it was indeed a bit difficult for Harry to learn the Patronus in a short period of time.

But now there are no plug-ins in Maple's hands for Harry to use!

Wait, Maple suddenly had an idea.

He ran out and didn't know where he went. After waiting for a while, Maple came back again, and he didn't know what he had brought in his hand, which was covered with a black robe.

Bringing Harry and Hermione to the Room of Requirement, Maple mysteriously took off the black robe.

"It's—"

"Gryffindor Sword!" Harry cried out in surprise, his mouth unconcealed in his surprise.

"Is this the Sword of Gryffindor?" Hermione couldn't help but be curious, took the Gryffindor sword in her hand, looked it up and down, and swung it a few times.

"Alright, Hermione, this is what I got from Professor Dumbledore for Harry's practice, don't waste your time!" Maple said.

"Practice?" Hermione was a little confused, what kind of spell the Sword of Gryffindor could help Harry practice.

"Harry, remember when you killed the basilisk? Hold it and show your courage and determination! Maple took the Gryffindor Sword from Hermione's reluctant hand and handed it to Harry.

Harry immediately remembered the last time he had held the Sword of Gryffindor, and he immediately understood what Maple meant. Receiving the Sword of Gryffindor from Maple's hand, Harry immediately gained confidence after feeling it had regained from last time.

"Nightmares are coming!"

"Divine Guard!" Both shouted at the same time.

Harry felt that the images of Voldemort and his parents had become very blurry this time, and the silver mist emitted by his wand was noticeably brighter than before, and the silver mist quickly coalesced to take shape like a stag.

The Patronus comes from the positive spiritual power in the heart, not only happiness, courage, faith, hope that these are the nemesis of despair against the Dementors, and they can all become the source of the Patronus's strength.
