She made a small cut at the base of the unicorn's front legs, and the unicorn's front hooves twitched, and Lockhart was so startled that he quickly wrapped a vine around it to prevent it from kicking someone.

The wound was so small that the blood was almost oozing out, and Hermione put the crystal bottle up and waited for the blood to flow in slowly.

"You're too careful, you can heal the wound later, what are you afraid of!" Hagrid was a little impatient, "The centaurs will come over at any time, and they will be angry to see you attacking the unicorn." ”

"I've been bleeding for the first few weeks, and I'm very uncomfortable when the blood goes down. Hermione said, "And she's got a baby, and I don't want her to bleed a little more......

Lockhart's nose ached, and he put his arm around her and kissed her on the forehead.

"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you for as long as I need to get it. ”

"Nothing, just a little ...... It's just a little uncomfortable. Hermione realized that what she had just said was different from what she had said to comfort Lockhart when she had donated blood earlier, "As long as you need to ......"

"You've been bleeding, what's going on?" Hagrid was a little puzzled, "Didn't you know the Wound Healing Curse a long time ago, and there were a lot of Death Eaters chasing you?" ”

"It's nothing. Hermione shook her head and said no more, going on until Lockhart needed blood.

――

Tooth suddenly let out an uneasy whimper, Lockhart also felt the ground tremble, there should be a lot of centaurs running over, Lockhart held the wand in his hand and stood up straight, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

"Oh my God, Hermione, are you alright? Hagrid asked nervously.

"How much blood is enough, Gildero?" Hermione asked, looking up, "Is one tube enough, about fifty milliliters." ”

"That's enough, let's go. Lohar nodded.

Hermione put away the blood she had collected, took out her wand and began to heal the unicorn's wounds. At the same time, the shaking of the ground became more and more pronounced. It seems that it is inevitable to deal with it.

The first centaur came into view, their eyesight excellent, and at a glance they saw the three Lockharts and the unicorn lying under their feet, and without saying a word, they shot an arrow at Hermione, who was healing her wound with her wand.

Lockhart blocked the arrow with an iron armor charm, and then he became furious: What the hell! If he shoots himself, he will admit it, after all, he is attacking the unicorn, and it is good to get by by pulling the skin. I don't want to get into a conflict with the horses either. But the centaurs actually attacked Hermione first, don't want him to put up with this for any reason!

Lockhart flicked his wand angrily, and a spell shot out without sparing his hand, and the centaurs were still a few hundred meters away, and the spell struck the forest ground between the gaps of several centaurs, and the impact of the explosion immediately blew up a large number of centaurs. The horses were rough and thick-skinned, but none of them died, but several of them were lying on the ground, suffering under the fallen leaves and dirt debris.

"My dear. Don't do that!" Hagrid and Hermione raised their hands at the same time to stop Lockhart from continuing the attack, and the centaurs on the opposite side were attacked, and immediately roared like a pot, and scattered into the jungle. Arrows were fired at the three of them from all sides, and Tooth was so frightened that he hid between Hagrid's legs with his tail between them, shivering.

Lockhart put an iron armor spell on all three of them and a dog, and the arrows kept hitting them, which shocked Hermione a little.

"I don't want to make a big fuss. But they shoot you with arrows!" said Lockhart angrily.

"Don't be impulsive, they just want to protect the unicorn, maybe they saw me casting a spell on it with my wand!" Hermione put her arm around him to stop him from continuing his attack. "Don't be angry......"

"Forget it. "Lockhart is spoiling Hermione right now. "Then let's go. ”

"Unravel the spell for it. ”

"Hmm. Lockhart untangled the vines and the stun spell for the unicorn, and then escorted the three of them back the way they came, and the horses followed behind without stopping the arrows, but they couldn't help them at all, and Lockhart used a spell to knock off several centaurs' weapons, and after a while they also consciously retreated.

――

"Hagrid has been seen!" Hermione suddenly remembered something, "It doesn't matter if the two of us live, but Hagrid lives on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, will he be in trouble in the future?"

"They won't come and trouble me. "And the unicorn is fine, you didn't kill any centaurs." ”

"Later, I'll go talk to the horses. Lockhart said nonchalantly.

Lockhart's display of strength clearly frightened the centaurs, and the trio left the forest without any hindrance, and as they approached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, they put on their invisibility cloaks again.

"Let's go back first. Lockhart told Hagrid, "If the horses come to trouble you, let me know with a note." ”

"Where are you hiding, doesn't Snape know?" Hagrid asked.

"Hide in a safe place, you don't have to worry about it. Hermione replied for him, "Watch out, we're gone." ”

"Don't worry. ”

――

Hagrid parted ways with them and headed to their cabin, while the couple returned to Hogwarts the way they came, and then to Snape's office.

"Pregnant unicorn blood?" Snape was a little surprised, "What a coincidence, is there a unicorn pregnant......?"

"It's not a coincidence, the unicorn's pregnancy cycle is still quite long, and it should have been pregnant for more than half a year. Hermione smirked, "I just can't think of that." ”

"Hmph—" Snape took Hermione's vial. "Then let's try it, you come with me to my potions warehouse and put on the cloak of invisibility. ”

The three of them arrived at Snape's old office, and although the current Potions professor was Slughorn, he was using a different office, and Snape's original office was now his own Potions laboratory.

The furnishings hadn't changed, and Hermione probably had come in for the first time, curiously looking at the various strange potion materials on the shelves around her.

"Don't touch it, even if your husband can afford it. Snape rejected, sat down behind his stacked table, took out some half-finished Philosopher's Stones, and used his wand to control the blood dripping from the vial. "These are made of the same materials as the real Philosopher's Stone, and they are very ...... If you add unicorn blood without the curse, it will theoretically turn a magnificent blood-red ......"

"Could it be that the Philosopher's Stone you used when I was resurrected was made of alternative materials?"

"What do you say!" Snape glanced at him.

Lockhart shrugged and watched as Snape continued as he waited for the unicorn's blood to seep into the gray-white Philosopher's Stone, then pointed his wand at it, chanting some incantation to levitate it in mid-air, casting spells as if refining it. Lockhart didn't know much about alchemy and potions, and although he was able to excel at the time, he never touched it again after graduation, and he returned it to Professor Slughorn.

After Snape ceased to be a professor, it seemed that his Potions office no longer welcomed outsiders, even the one where Snape was already sitting only had two chairs, Lockhart glanced at Hermione, and found that Hermione was also looking at him, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but without saying a word, he pulled Hermione over and sat down with her, standing behind her, gently massaging her shoulder, and began to think about what to do next.

has always been thinking of ways to please Lockhart, and now that she has finally achieved positive results, she can enjoy the treatment of Lockhart's massage with peace of mind, Hermione is still a little unaccustomed to it, and she is flustered.

Lockhart didn't think much of it, he felt that no matter what he did for Hermione, he couldn't repay the hardships she had endured for herself, and with the tough flesh between the little witch's shoulders and neck in his hands, his mind flew to Scrimgeur, and then to the Ministry of Magic...... Until Hermione patted her hand on her shoulder.

"Look, it looks like it's turning red!" Hermione grabbed Lockhart's hand and showed him that the Philosopher's Stone in mid-air seemed to be really glowing red under Snape's spell!

"But it's going to make it look like a philosopher's stone, right?" Lockhart stared at the philosopher's stone as well, remembering that the philosopher's stone Nicol Lemay had given him was still a big difference in size and color. If the blood of a pregnant female unicorn can make a real Philosopher's Stone, wouldn't the Philosopher's Stone really become a rotten street?

Oh yes, Snape said that the other raw materials of the Philosopher's Stone are also very valuable, but they can be substituted......

He was staring at the Philosopher's Stone, but Snape shook his head, lowered his wand, and reached out to catch the falling Philosopher's Stone.

"What's wrong?" asked Hermione nervously, "......"

"It's done, but look," Snape held the small philosopher's stone in front of them as he pinched it in front of them with his thumb index finger and middle finger, "still grayish-white, but with a hint of pink ...... in it"
