Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

Seeing that the sun has set in the west, the bleak cold wind has replaced the warmth of the sun, and the dragons flying in the sky have also fallen one after another.

The fire dragons, who had played with the little master who made them feel so close to them all afternoon, returned to their respective nests with satisfaction. Although this large and comfortable dragon's nest was much better than the one they had lived in before, the home that was full of strange atmosphere was not the same. Not considered warm and comfortable.

After leaving the dragon training field, Rollo did not return to the warm auditorium of Hogwarts. He walked along a snow-covered path towards the Forbidden Forest. Today was a rare sunny day without snow, hanging in the night sky. The silver wheel coats the Forbidden Forest with a thin layer of gauze.

"Good evening, Cetina."

Rollo followed the familiar stone path to the cave behind the waterfall and opened the wooden door.

"good evening."

The centaur girl who smiled sideways stood up lightly, "It seems you are ready to meet them, right?"

She reached out and picked up a small bag from the table beside her, and walked side by side with Rollo on the road away from the hut.

"Yes, but unicorns are not close to wizards, especially wizards. This has to make me think that these beautiful horses who are called pure beasts are all a group of aesthetically picky perverts."

"When will boys stand up? Pure girls can have them, but not pure boys?"

Hearing what Rolo said, Setina covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.

"Maybe it's because witches have shown less hostility and greed towards them than wizards since ancient times?"

"But almost all of them are witches wearing unicorn fur coats. It's just that they let wizards do the hunting of unicorns. After all, killing unicorns will bring about a lasting curse. Those ladies who think they are noble don't want to Get your hands dirty.”

Although he has never taken a History of Magic class, Rollo took the time to read all the books on the History of Magic. At the end of the semester, he also needs to take an exam. As the current leader of Slytherin, he needs to establish a goal that no one can follow. Persona.

"There are rumors that unicorn hunters in the past would kidnap a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old virgin as bait, and then set up an ambush next to her. When the unicorn approached, they would rise up and revolt. I didn't know this. Is it true or false?”

There are many rumors about hunting unicorns, and the one Rollo talked about is the most widely circulated one.

"Are they really that stupid?"

"Of course not." Setina shook her head slightly, "Unicorns are smart horses with a strong sense of compassion. Although they cannot speak, they are not stupid at all. When they see an injured and weak girl , the unicorns may indeed come forward to help, but if you want to use this as a trap to kill them."

Setina corrected Rollo: "They will not be fooled, and even if they are fooled, ordinary wizards cannot harm them."

“I have personally witnessed outside poachers coming to the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns. They will look for unicorn couples with their children when the unicorns are not gathering, and then lure one of them away and trap them with their own means. He traps unicorn cubs whose abilities have not yet fully developed, and forces the adult unicorn to stay where he is and resist the spell for his children.”

"But in the Forbidden Forest, none of these people succeeded. Hagrid could always feel the scene immediately, and then shoot heavy arrows that could not be resisted by magic, leaving those evil guys in the Forbidden Forest forever. "

"When there was no Hagrid, we were basically responsible for expelling these invaders. Hagrid's arrival reduced many casualties for the centaurs. He saved at least twenty or thirty people's lives. This is also our responsibility." Reasons to be grateful to him.”

Rollo was a little shocked when he learned about the other bloody side of the Forbidden Forest for the first time. As a part of Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest should be protected by the magic of Hogwarts.

"Every year, magical creatures from other places migrate to the Forbidden Forest, and wizards can naturally find it here." Setina reminded Rollo, "The magic of Hogwarts protects only a small part of the forest, while other places It is convenient for the lives that need to live here to protect it together."

"It's right in front." Cetina paused and pointed forward. The sound of gurgling water from the stream reached their ears. On this cold winter day, this was a sound that was difficult to hear.

"Unicorns like the flat land out front. It's the best place in the woods to soak up the moonlight. You'll like it too."

"is it?"

They pushed aside the bushes and vines in front of them, and a plain white open space came into view.

The rising water vapor spreads out in a corner of the flat land, and the thin clouds and mist blurred into white and scattered light under the illumination of the moon. In this beautiful place covered by clouds and mist, there is a small community of unicorns who are quiet. Rest here.

Adult unicorns have silver-white fur, and their unicorns exude a milky white glimmer. As the moonlight is continuously sucked by the unicorns, a veil-like magical coat envelopes the unicorns. .

At this moment when they are bathed in moonlight, the unicorns' powerful magic power is stimulated to the greatest extent. It is almost impossible to hunt them down at this moment.

Their horns can easily pierce and shatter most defensive magics. Their bodies can weaken all harmful spells including the Death Curse. They move like lightning under the moon and have the ability to attack most magical creatures. Crushing combat power.

Especially when there are groups of enraged unicorns, the swarm charge that turns into a silvery white ocean can even smash through the outer wall of Hogwarts Castle and create a straight passage.

Elegant yet mysterious, holy yet dangerous, these were the thoughts that came to Rollo's mind when he saw the unicorn with his own eyes.

Beside this group of adult unicorns, there are some little golden ones jumping and playing in the stream. They are underage cubs. When they grow up, their golden fur will turn into the same silvery white as their elders. The young horns will also grow from their foreheads. After shedding their horns again and again, they will also possess the powerful strength of their parents.

Rollo has every reason to believe that the unicorn horn powder they use in the Potions class is the selfless contribution of these little guys. For unicorns, the horns that are replaced at least once a year are discarded useless waste. , but for wizards, it is a precious magic material.

Fortunately, unicorns are noble beings who do not accept slavery and oppression. It is not feasible to continuously harvest their horns and hair in captivity like deer antlers and wool.

Unicorns who do not accept being defiled will resist at all costs, and even the wizards who imprison them will suffer the same curse as actively killing the unicorns.

In Hogwarts, the person who should be most grateful to Hagrid is Snape. If Hagrid hadn't randomly picked up unicorn tail hairs, fallen horns or other scraps of magical creatures while patrolling the forest, Put it back in a sack, and Hogwarts will have to add another heavy sum to its teaching expenses.

Of course, the arrival of the two of them cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the unicorns. Although they are all relaxing and bathing in the moonlight at the moment, the reason why they are not hostile is just because of the presence of Setina.

But after Rollo came closer, a pair of eyes with resistance and rejection stared at Rollo's body.

This is the first time that Rollo has been rejected.

Although he knows that his affinity will be greatly weakened when dealing with magical creatures with thinking intelligence.

When facing 'beasts', whether they are dragons or dogs, as long as they belong to the "brainless" category, he can rely on this affinity to become a 'god' in their minds.

When faced with a magical creature with advanced intelligence like a horse, this affinity only brings a favorable impression that bypasses the alienation and vigilance at first sight, and does not make the horse do anything for him against his will.

But such a thing would probably never happen.

'Could it be that my ability has failed?Or was it that the unicorn was not included in the harem of the old man Bie Feng? '

Rollo, who didn't believe this, was filled with questions. If Beifeng were still alive, he would definitely be so excited when he saw these ridiculously beautiful horses that he couldn't hold up his pants, even fork juice and soup. He is a legendary being who dares to attack spoon monsters, and no matter how outrageous things happen to him, he is not surprised.

"Rolo, please step back." Setina reached out to stop Rolo and took half a step forward. "I feel something is not right. I will go up and ask them."

"It shouldn't be." Even Setina said to herself doubtfully.

Compared with unicorns in other places, many unicorn groups in the Forbidden Forest are not so resistant to wizards. Even in the magical creatures class, Professor Keltborn sometimes brings a bunch of unicorns. The fresh alfalfa talks to them and lets them get out of the forbidden forest so that the little wizards can learn a lot.

When Rollo retreated to the edge, the unicorns who had originally stood up with caution lay down again. They did not reject Setina's approach, but instead showed a rather intimate joy to her.

The little guys who were jumping and playing in the stream also gathered around and coquettishly sat at Setina's feet.

The small bag Setina brought with her contained a handful of alfalfa seeds. Under her unique magic, these prepared seeds grew and sprouted rapidly, and the time they were stored was spent on the seeds. They began to flow, and they became their most plump and tender appearance.

The unicorns surrounding Setina enjoying her feeding hummed a brisk tune, as if they were singing some song that people couldn't understand. Round after round of silver light swayed away, and they put their own Bless this beautiful and kind girl.

Rollo, who was quite puzzled, squatted on a wooden stump. This kind of naked discrimination was really hurtful. Fortunately, he didn't slap his chest in front of Snape and promise that he would take him back alone. The horned beast's blood, otherwise it would be a big loss.

Rollo, who had been squatting on the ground for almost an hour, finally waited until Setina came back before his legs completely lost consciousness. The girl with a teasing smile on her face stretched out her hand to pull Rollo up, and then picked a flat piece of snow. With a gentle wave, the ever-growing tender grass leaves weaved into a soft bed for them to sit comfortably.

"What exactly happened here?"

"Even if the unicorns are all perverts who only like girls, they wouldn't look at me like that, right?"

Rollo, who was muttering in a low voice, did not forget to use a soundproof spell to block his words, lest these big white horses hear his complaints and have a worse impression of him.

"If you hadn't been there just now, I have no doubt that these guys would have rushed forward and nailed me to the tree with that horn."

Although there is no murderous intent, the disgust or even disgust conveyed in the unicorn's eyes cannot be faked.

"It seems like you asked for the answer, Setina?"

Rollo spoke curiously, he wanted to know why.

"They smelled you." After a slight hesitation, Setina organized her words.

"Unicorns are very sensitive to magic power. In their eyes, magic power has different colors, just like the magic power developing potion you use. Each creature, or each individual, has different magic properties. the difference."

"With the blessing they just gave me, I gained their eyes to see the world."

"Rolo..."

Setina covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You are so colorful, you are really a little strange."

"I can't describe your color accurately, because it changes rapidly every minute, every second, every blink. I see warm red light, I see cold blue light, and I also see brilliant gold. and deep darkness.”

"Of course, I also saw a silver light that was exactly the same as a unicorn, mixed with a little gold."

"You also have a part of unicorn in your blood, but this is also one of the reasons why they are angry with you."

"They believe that your existence has stained their bloodline. You are mixed with countless bloodlines in your body, making the unicorn blood lose its purity. Even the moonlight has abandoned you. You are no longer under the moon. darling."

"You should know that unicorns have their own definition of purity, purity, and nobility. In order to practice this nobility that does not need to be expressed in words, they are even willing to give their lives for it."

"You said before that some hunters would use innocent girls to lure unicorns, and they told me that it was just because they wanted to help and protect the creatures in need, as long as the unicorns thought they needed to be rescued. It is the same as them, a pure existence.”

These words made Rollo a little silent.

"What about the other reasons? You just said this was one of the reasons?"

"Yeah." Setina nodded slightly, but she was also a little confused at the moment, "I can't quite understand the second reason."

"The inheritance of unicorns comes from blood, and this is true for most magical creatures. Unlike you wizards, there are some things that we will gradually know after we are born."

"Just like the centaurs, even if we have not been taught by our elders, we can still read a few words from the stars when we look up at the sky. The smoke of burning incense is just a small means to help us observe."

"And among the knowledge that can be possessed without learning, the unicorns have inherited a few vague words."

"That seems to be some questions?"

Setina, who was not sure herself, tried to imitate that tone.

She whispered into Luo Luo's ear, with a tone of resentment and pity.

"I know in my heart that there are no other sisters who are interesting. After all, my brother doesn't have me in his heart..."

"You are probably tired, and you responded to me so perfunctorily..."

"I'm afraid I was tripped up by another sister, and I'm so indifferent to others..."

"If my brother has such an attitude, it would be better to just ignore me. It will appear that I am being unreasonable..."

"It's my fault. It seems that I care about everything and am becoming worse than other sisters..."

The whispers are like the blood-colored flowers and leaves of the mandala that have been crushed. The bright red soaked into the palm of the hand leaves traces that are difficult to erase for a long time. It slips from the palm like teardrops and seems to be sighing sadly. The scumbag The man's disappointed heart trembled slightly at this moment, but he swallowed the grievance quietly.

"It's over, it's over..."

Luo Luo, who pinched out the broken Heart of Fraternity and Protection pendant from his arms, fell into unspeakable despair as he looked at this inherited pendant.

"You just picked up your pants and ran away..."

"Fraternity?"

"Bah!" Luo Luo curled his lips disdainfully, "Scumbag!"
