Hagrid has been in a bad mood since the little dragon Norbert was sent away by Harry. He even wrote several letters to Charlie in Romania, asking about Norbert's recent life. Because they were too far apart, every time
It takes a long time to receive a reply.
However, something bad happened in the Forbidden Forest, forcing Hagrid to withdraw the energy he had devoted to Noble and focus on his work again.
Not long ago, Hagrid discovered a pool of silver blood in the Forbidden Forest. In the limited memory of the hunting ground guard, among the various magical creatures living in the Forbidden Forest, only the blood of unicorns was like this.
A unique silvery white color.
This means that there is an injured unicorn in the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid had never seen any creature in the Forbidden Forest that could harm a unicorn.
Unicorns themselves not only have powerful magical power, but they also run extremely fast. There are very few creatures in the Forbidden Forest that can catch up with them.
This is never a good sign.
After working as a gamekeeper for so long, this was the first time Hagrid encountered this situation. He had to figure out what creature hurt the unicorn.
At this moment, in the hunting lodge, Hagrid was adjusting the crossbow that he had not used for a long time, carefully checking every arrow in the quiver to ensure that they would not fall out of the chain when needed.
Before leaving, Hagrid looked up and glanced at the umbrella placed beside the bed, but in the end he did not bring his wand.
If possible, Hagrid should try not to use it so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Dumbledore.
"Fangya, keep up."
When Hagrid closed the door of the wooden house and was about to go into the forest to look for the injured unicorn, he vaguely heard someone greeting him not far away.
"Hagrid, are you ready to go into the woods?"
Albert looked at Hagrid's equipment and probably guessed what was going on.
"There is an injured unicorn." Hagrid explained: "I want to go into the forest to look for it."
"At this point in time?" Albert looked up at the sun above his head and asked doubtfully.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"It must be hard to find at this time!"
Hagrid was a little confused and didn't understand what Albert meant.
"I remember that the blood of unicorns is silvery white and will glow slightly at night. It is very obvious in the Forbidden Forest and it is easy to find them. But if you go into the forest during the day and want to find injured unicorns,
It's not easy." Albert noticed the change in the expression on Hagrid's face and explained casually.
"Oh, you are right. But I have to go." Hagrid raised his hand and scratched his head, but still did not give up the idea of going into the forest to search for unicorns 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's going on!" Naturally, Albert had no intention of letting this opportunity go.
Going to give it a try and see if I can spawn new tasks from this thing.
Hagrid hesitated for a moment, and finally told Albert about the injured unicorn he found in the Forbidden Forest.
"It was this morning that I found the pool of unicorn's blood in the Forbidden Forest. Later, after searching carefully, I found traces of unicorn's blood in many places. It has been in the Forbidden Forest since at least last night.
He was stumbling around." Hagrid recalled: "I have never been in this situation."
"Hagrid, have you ever thought about what caused the unicorn to be injured?" Albert suddenly asked.
"This..." Hagrid obviously hadn't thought about this problem.
"It's not that easy to catch a unicorn. This magical creature itself has strong magic and is also very resistant to magic." Albert reminded, "Don't forget, the unicorn
The unicorn lives in the forbidden forest and has almost no natural enemies. If the unicorn wants to escape, it will be difficult to catch it."
"That's true." Hagrid muttered softly.
"Why does the unicorn have to run around? Doing so will undoubtedly aggravate the injury."
"You mean..."
"I think it is most likely that it is avoiding the enemy that injured it." Albert expressed his guess.
"Did you discover something?" Hagrid felt that he needed to listen to Albert's speculation. Although it might be just speculation or nonsense, it never hurts to listen.
"As you said, this has never happened." Albert said calmly: "Killing a unicorn is an extremely cruel thing, and ordinary creatures are not unicorns at all.
They cannot be rivals of horned beasts, let alone injure them, unless they are cubs. Why can't we change our thinking, and humans can actually be considered their natural enemies."
"The person who injured the unicorn is probably a dark wizard!"
"Dark wizard, why does the dark wizard hunt unicorns?"
"Galeung," Albert speculated: "Unicorn horns, hair and other things are very valuable. Sometimes, you will do anything for galleons."
"For Galleons?" Hagrid almost roared: "Killing a unicorn for Galleons? This is simply an unforgivable thing."
"Of course, there may be other reasons." Albert picked out his ears with his little finger, and after Hagrid's roar ended, he suddenly asked: "Hagrid, do you know what the unicorn's blood is used for?
?"
"Unicorn blood?" Hagrid's eyes were filled with confusion.
"The blood of unicorns can be used to keep people on the verge of death alive." Albert whispered: "Perhaps a certain dark wizard is trying to use the properties of unicorn blood to keep himself alive.
Go down."
"Oh my God!"
Hagrid was stunned by Albert's guess.
"If that's the case, you'd better hope that the person has 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 had some movement. After telling Hagrid so many things, he finally triggered a helper.
It's time to find the injured unicorn.
Not easy!
"If that person fails to drink the blood of the unicorn before it dies, there may be another attack."
"Oh God, we have to stop him." Hagrid jumped up from his chair, holding his crossbow and preparing to go into the woods to search for the possible dark wizard.
"This is just speculation."
"Speculation?" Hagrid looked at Albert deeply and couldn't help but sigh, "No, it's not like speculation at all, but seeing what happened at that time with his own eyes."
"A long time ago, I predicted this would happen in a divination class, and I also told you." Albert glanced at Hagrid and reminded. "However, because of Norbert, you
I guess I’ve put this matter behind me!”
"Go on..." Hagrid was a little embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten about it. He quickly changed the topic and let Albert continue. He also wanted to hear what was going on.
"The situation is probably that a famous dark wizard used magic to seriously injured a unicorn, but the unicorn itself is a magical creature with strong magic power, and it is also very fast, so it is not that easy to kill, so the unicorn was injured.
The dark wizard of the Horned Beast didn't get what he wanted.
You can only chase unicorns around in the forest, which is why you find unicorn blood stains everywhere."
"That makes sense." Hagrid nodded.
"You don't mind if I go with you to find the unicorn!" Albert and Hagrid walked side by side towards the Forbidden Forest ahead: "Unless you see what's going on with your own eyes, the information you get will be very limited."
"Don't have classes in the afternoon?" Hagrid asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry, I have other ways to solve the class problem." Albert comforted casually.
"no."
Hagrid finally had a showdown with Albert. 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 guess the dark wizard won't show up during the day."
"Why?"
Why?
Albert was immediately speechless. It couldn't be said that Quirrell needed to teach in the morning.
