Hogwarts, where the stars shine

The night wind was brisk, and the chill of early autumn made people want to shiver.But not only did Lilia not feel cold, she was almost steaming from the heat. Her red face was like a ripe apple, making people want to take a bite.

Lilia didn't know why she disliked Krivat so much.It was probably a sense of crisis, maybe he was worried that the appearance of Penelo Crevat would take his place.

But Lilia would never admit such an embarrassing thing even to death. She has her own pride.

"How is that possible!" Lilia said duplicitously, "Who you want to see and who you don't want to see are all your own business. It has nothing to do with me!"

After saying that, Lilia's eyes looked around, the ground, treetops, moss-covered tree stumps... Anyway, she just didn't look at Mesa.The avoidant look is the best evidence of Lilia's guilty conscience.

"Okay, just think that I'm thinking too much." Mesa said, "It's not safe in the Forbidden Forest. Please follow closely. Let's go."

With that said, Mesa walked into the dark forbidden forest first.Mesa, who was good at observing words and emotions, naturally knew that Lilia was telling lies, but he did not choose to expose Lilia's lies.

A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea.Even though Lilia is still young, it is much more difficult to understand her mind than to learn magic.Unless Mesa chooses to use Legilimency on Lilia.

But regardless of Mesa's mastery of Legilimency, he would not use it on Lilia.Lilia Shafiq is his friend and partner, not his subordinate.

The two walked in silence, carefully observing their surroundings.

There was silence in the Forbidden Forest, and the two listened carefully to see if there were any other sounds besides the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.

After about ten minutes, the path under my feet became increasingly difficult to identify, the surrounding trees became denser, and the moonlight above my head was no longer visible.

The swaying lantern was shining alone, and this light was too weak compared to the boundless darkness.Mesa and Lilia lit their wands almost at the same time, dispelling the darkness surrounding them.

At this time, the sound of gurgling water suddenly appeared in my ears. It was obvious that there was a stream nearby.Where there is a water source, there should be traces of biological activity in the Forbidden Forest.

"What should we do next?" Lilia asked, "Should we continue walking along the path, or find this water source."

Mesa looked at Lilia beside her, her pupils reflected the glimmer of the wand.

Instinct told Mesa that they should not stray from this forest path.If they deviate rashly, they might get lost, and they wouldn't be able to confirm what's at the water source.

The invisible forest seems to hide great fear.Deep in the forest, the howls of animals become clearer and chilling; the whine produced by the wind blowing through the treetops is equally creepy.

People's fear of darkness often stems from the unknown, and they are not sure what dangers lurk in that unknown darkness.

Mesa raised her wand, sending out the faint light from the ebony tip.The fluorescent spell was like a flare, emitting a dazzling light, illuminating the dense woods not far away, and then suddenly returned to darkness.

"Let's go to the water source and have a look. We'll leave it to the future to continue deeper into the Forbidden Forest." Mesa said.The Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is very vast. If you want to explore this dark forest completely, Mesa may not be able to complete it even after graduating.

After making a decision, the two groped towards the direction where the sound of water flow came from.

As the two walked, they left marks on the trees to prevent them from getting lost in the forest and unable to find their way back to the castle.

Mesa and Lilia walked slowly, ears strained to catch the slightest sound.Roots and stumps often blocked their path, and low branches and thorns often caught their robes.

However, it was not all without gain for the two of them. Some branches and thorn vines were hung with slender, silvery hair.It should be unicorn hair, and it looks better than the unicorn tail hair Hagrid gave to Mesa.

The sound of water flowing into the ears became louder and louder, Mesa and Lilia were already very close.After passing through a dark forest, the moonlight shone again, illuminating a clearing with a creek winding through the middle.

The two people hiding behind the tree did not dare to breathe. It was not because there were any dangerous creatures beside the stream, but because they saw a unicorn!

Mesa swore he had never seen such a beautiful animal.

This adult unicorn exudes pure white light, as white as pearls against the dark environment.Its limbs are slender and well-proportioned, shaped like a white horse, with a silver-white horn on its forehead. Even the movement of lowering its head to drink water looks holy and elegant.

Unicorn horns can detoxify, and knives made from horns can tell whether food is poisonous.

Unicorn tail hair can be used to make medicine and is the main raw material for beauty potions. It is also one of Ollivander's favorite wand core materials.

Unicorn blood can extend life. No matter how close you are to death, the silver blood can pull you back from the brink of death.

But unlike the horns and tail hairs, from the moment your lips are stained with unicorn blood, you will have to bear the curse for the rest of your life. It is the curse caused by hurting the unicorn.

After a while, the unicorn suddenly raised its head and looked at the tree where the Mesa duo were hiding. It noticed the peepers sneaking into the forbidden forest.

Mesa and Lilia hurriedly hid. What was very different from their gentle and beautiful appearance was that unicorns had strong magic.

Unicorns don't like to come into contact with wizards, but pure girls are an exception.Mesa looked at Lilia next to her. She was still a pure girl, but this child had such complicated thoughts. Would a unicorn approach her?

Whether Lilia was able to attract the unicorn is unknown to Mesa, as the saintly creature left when she noticed someone spying on her.

It ran very fast and disappeared into the dense woods in the blink of an eye.Only the hair caught on thorns and branches was left, shining in the moonlight.

Although they only found the hair of a unicorn, Mesa and Lilia's trip to the Forbidden Forest tonight was a worthwhile trip because they were able to observe a unicorn up close.

With some regret, the two followed the marks left earlier and returned to the path hidden in the forest.

"The unicorn is so beautiful!" Lilia sighed softly, "It would be great if I could keep it. Then I can watch it as long as I want."

The wealthy Miss Shafik wants to wave the golden galleons and bring the beautiful and holy unicorn back to Shafik Manor.But the gold and dollar offensive is useless against the unicorn. Lilia might as well throw these gold galleons at Mesa, which may have an unexpected effect.

"If you can buy unicorns for gold galleons, they're not unicorns anymore," said Mesa, who has always been very good at beating people up.

"Just keep your mouth shut if you don't know how to chat. I won't treat you as a mute." Lilia scolded, "I don't know if I can buy a unicorn yet, I just want to think about it."

Mesa smiled and said: "Indeed, it is night now, which is a very suitable time for dreaming."

The two walked while talking, and soon returned to the forest path.Mesa and Lilia did not intend to continue exploring. They did not want to see the beautiful picture of the unicorn destroyed by other chaotic animals.

But life is always full of all kinds of accidents, which makes people unable to stop lamenting the impermanence of fate.Just as the two were walking back along the winding path, a rustling sound came.

"Shh!" Mesa interrupted Lilia's mutterings, "Listen!"

Lilia stopped talking and listened carefully.The rustling sounds were getting closer and closer to them, and Mesa and Lilia suddenly discovered that there were suddenly more spiders on the surrounding trees!

Although these spiders were not big in size, they were densely packed together, assaulting Mesa and Lilia's senses.

Although the origin of these spiders is not known, if the spiders living in the Forbidden Forest were not capable, they would not be able to reproduce such a large group.Not caring much, Mesa directly picked up Lilia and ran towards the outside of the forbidden forest.
