The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

On the last day of Easter vacation, Hermione came to the Room of Requirement with a pile of homework.

In the Gothic-style hall, Ash stood in front of the magic loom, adding some special magic materials to the raw materials from time to time, and the loom automatically integrated these materials into the fabric, weaving and giving new words to the robe. strip.

Ash noticed the arrival of the three little ones and reminded:

"Just put it on the table, right next to my homework. Make sure the order is not wrong."

Although Hermione was confused, she still obediently placed the homework in her arms on the table, and divided her homework into different subjects according to the order of homework arranged by Ash on the table.

Cassandra asked a little strangely:

"What's next?"

"Put a little magic on them."

Ash explained with a smile, then pointed his wand at the homework on the table and waved it gently.

Wow!

The two books on the top of the herbal medicine course flew up automatically and landed on the table. The quill on the table was automatically stained with ink, and he began to copy Hermione's homework on Ash's blank homework book one by one.

"Amazing!"

Harley's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted excitedly, "Ash, what kind of magic is this? I want to learn it!"

Cassandra and Hermione's expressions changed, and they said in unison:

"no!"

Harley puffed up her face:

"Then why didn't you stop Ash?"

Ash can copy you, but I can't?

Hermione put on a small face and said without hesitation:

"Harry, if you can get perfect scores in every quiz, I will never stop you."

"Me too, Harley."

Kassandra's tone was matter-of-fact, "If you can defeat my father in a duel like Ash, I won't stop you."

Harley shrugged her head. As long as she could do one of these things, she wouldn't have to copy her homework!

"Damn it! I'm so envious!"

Harley whispered, not hiding the naked envy in her heart.

But what she didn't know was that although Ash didn't have to suffer from homework as much as she did, his holidays were just as busy.

During the day, he had to study the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, have lunch with Qiu Zhang and Penello at noon, have dinner with Harry, Hermione and Cassandra in the evening, and occasionally have to deal with it at night. Qiu Zhang sneaked over, and he had to go to the Forbidden Forest to conduct research late at night, and to train Bai Zi and Setsuna's magic. This resulted in Ash not even having an hour to spare during the whole day!

What is 007? This is called 007!

Cassandra looked at the magic loom that was weaving automatically and asked curiously:

"Ash, what are you doing?"

"Do some small experiments, mainly using magic materials to add some unique functions to these school uniforms."

As Ash explained, he handed Hermione a set of school uniforms lying nearby.

Hermione took the school uniform and asked hesitantly:

"Is this my school robe?"

A few days ago, Ash borrowed a school uniform from each of them. Although no one hesitated, they all couldn't help but wonder what Ash wanted their clothes for.

Ash smiled and encouraged:

"It's yours, put it on and try it on."

Hermione obediently took off her original school robe and put on the one Ash handed her.

"What's it for?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Just explaining it isn't very intuitive. Well, let me show you."

Ash paused briefly, and Hermione was curious about how to show it, so Ash ordered:

"Harry, use Expelliarmus on Hermione."

Harry was a little hesitant. He didn't take out his wand until he saw Hermione nodding slightly towards her, but still said hesitantly:

"Ash."

"Um?"

Harley's cheeks turned slightly red and she whispered:

"I won't."

"Sorry, I was negligent."

Ash laughed dumbly, took out a black wand from his pocket and handed it to Harley, "Try this one."

Harry had great doubts in his eyes, but he still took the wand obediently and whispered the spell:

"Expelliarmus!"

A dazzling red light shot toward Hermione quickly, and invisible magic quickly surged out of her school robe, forming an invisible barrier that bounced the red light out and hit the ceiling with a crisp sound.

The three little ones looked at each other with six eyes, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Which piece of clothing is responsible for this effect?" Cassandra asked in surprise.

"right."

Ash rubbed Hermione's thick brown hair and chuckled:

"I have added an armor protection spell to your school robes. You will be safe until the spell is broken."

"That's amazing!" Harley made no secret of her exclamation, excited and proud.

The excitement is that I can get a 'magic school robe', and the pride is that the person who did it is Ash——

see it? This is a dress my friend made for me!

"That wand too?" Hermione drew inferences and immediately thought of Harry's wand, a little unbelievable.

"Yes."

Ash nodded lightly, "I made some modifications to that wand so that the person who uses it can use 'Expelliarmus' more easily. The price is that this wand can only use Expelliarmus from now on."

"Overall, it does more harm than good."

Cassandra couldn't help shouting:

"You call this more harm than good?"

This is an invention that completely subverts the entire wizarding world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is epoch-making.

Although the diversity of the wand itself has been destroyed and it can only consume a single magic spell, the mere fact that it lowers the entry barrier is attractive enough! What's more, since Ash can develop a wand that can cast a single spell like 'Expelliarmus', isn't it just a matter of time before he can develop other wands with a single spell?

For example, falling unconscious, another example being a thunderbolt explosion, being torn apart, or even Avada Kedavra!

Kassandra just briefly imagined the scene in her mind of the first-year students using Avada Kedavra against Todoroki, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.

Her expression immediately became extremely solemn, and she warned seriously:

"Harry, Hermione, never tell anyone about this! No matter who it is!"

——

Late at night, outside the Forbidden Forest.

Bai Zi transformed back into her wolf form and let Ash ride on her back, then she flew into the Forbidden Forest and disappeared.

She originally wanted to rush directly to Czech Doyle's grave, but on the way she suddenly heard a loud howl from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"Ouch~!"

Bai Zi stopped in an open space and pricked up his ears to identify the direction from which the sound came.

"Bai Zi, what's going on?" Ash asked in a deep voice.

Bai Zi did not change back to human form, but still spoke out a human voice in a cold and pleasant voice:

"It's other tribesmen asking for help, someone is attacking the unicorn."

Although to Ash's ears, this wolf howl was no different from other wolf howls he heard, he would not question Bai Zi's judgment.

But the question is, who would take the risk to attack a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest?

The answer is ready to come out!

"Want to go there?" Bai Zi asked.

Since it wasn't her tribe that was attacked, she didn't care about the unicorn's life or death.

"Go and take a look first." Ash patted Bai Zi's ears and ordered softly.

——

Deep in the Forbidden Forest, the dense branches are intertwined like a maze. Even in the daytime, it is easy to get lost. The fall of night makes it even more eerie and strange.

Blocked by the leafy forest, when the originally bright moonlight fell on the ground, only shadowy mottled light spots remained.

The slender unicorn gracefully walked to the river and bowed its head to drink from the river. The snow-white hair without a trace of impurities proves that it is an adult unicorn, and its long spiral horn shines delicately in the moonlight, like angel wings exuding holy brilliance.

The noble and elegant unicorn has always been the embodiment of purity. In many myths and legends, they are considered to be messengers from heaven. Just looking at it can make people's hearts become peaceful and peaceful.

"Diffindo!"

The invisible wind blade cut through the silent night sky and hit the unicorn drinking water impartially.

The unicorn let out a cry of pain and fell weakly on the shore. Silver-white blood poured out from the wound on its right abdomen, dyeing the river into shining silver. Hidden in the shadows of the dense forest, the figure shrouded in black robes excitedly rushed out of the shadows and ran towards the injured unicorn.

But the unicorn finally showed amazing perseverance, stood up with its injured body, and limped away into the dense forest.

Just as the shadow was about to give chase, another silver-gray creature suddenly appeared in front of him.

That's not a unicorn, but a giant wolf!

Ouch~!

A giant wolf stood on top of a huge rock, its high-pitched howl resounding through the dense forest.

The man in black robe immediately remembered the rumors about werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, and he immediately became vigilant. These werewolves always appeared in groups. Since there is a wolf, there must be more werewolves around.

He was alert to the werewolf that might emerge from the dense forest at any moment, and the giant wolf always stood in the moonlight, staring at him.

He did not act rashly until a sharp voice sounded in his ears:

"Don't waste time! Go chase that unicorn!"

Quirrell hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to obey his master's order.

But not long after he started, the giant wolf howled loudly again and ran towards him!

Quirrell was alert again and wanted to release the magic spell to attack the werewolf.

But before he could take action, the giant wolf that was rushing towards him suddenly made a sharp turn and disappeared into the dense forest.

At this point, Quirrell still didn't understand what was going on. The werewolf was clearly playing tricks on him!

It's buying time for the unicorn!

Quirrell's eyes were fierce, this damn werewolf!

He got up again and chased the unicorn, but the werewolf never gave up. Every time he let out a loud howl, he came towards him, but every time he disappeared into the dense forest halfway through the attack.

This kind of harassment made Quirrell extremely annoyed. Although he knew that the werewolf did not dare to really react and attack, who could guarantee that its next attack would not be real? If it were true, if he happened to fail to take precautions, the danger of being approached by a werewolf would be fatal!

Under the tangled tree, Quirrell, who was shrouded in black robes, suddenly stopped, raised his wand, pointed it at the giant wolf that was charging towards him again, and shouted:

"Avada Kedavra!"

A pale green light suddenly illuminated the forest, like a death omen star shining in the night sky, shooting towards the giant wolf impartially. But the giant wolf seemed to have been prepared. Zaiye turned a corner to avoid the green light, ran into the dense forest and disappeared.

When the spell was in vain, the giant wolf appeared at a high place again, looking down at Quirrell, as if silently mocking his incompetence.

"Damn werewolf!"

Feeling the provocation, Quirrell gritted his teeth in hatred, and immediately decided to give the damn beast another shot of Avada Kedavra, but the sharp voice coming from his ear stopped him:

"That's enough...go chase...that unicorn first!"

Quirrell's hand holding the wand dropped, but his tone was still gritted:

"But, Master, that damn werewolf has been following us. If we don't kill it, it will be very troublesome!"

The sharp voice warned in a deep voice:

"That beast is very cautious...you can't hit it easily...wait for it to get close before you attack! Now...go after the unicorn first...it's injured and can't run far. I need its blood! If it happens again this time... If you fail, you know the consequences!"

Facing the naked threat from the sharp voice, Quirrell trembled, not daring to disobey in any way.

He put away his wand and continued to follow the traces of the unicorn, following the silvery blood on the ground.

It turns out that this didn't take much effort. Even if it was interfered with by werewolves several times along the way, how far could the seriously injured unicorn go? They soon found the unicorn lying on the ground in the dense forest. A huge wound opened on its right abdomen, and the shining silver blood gathered under it to form a lake.

The moment he saw Quirrell, the dying unicorn once tried to stand up. But even though it was able to support its forelimbs with difficulty, its hind limbs could never use its strength, and it could only fall heavily to the ground with a scream, unable to move again.

A sharp voice shouted:

"Damn it, don't let it bleed dry, hurry up, get over there!"

"Of course, my lord."

Quirrell nodded hurriedly, ran to the unicorn in three steps and knelt down beside it, and anxiously put his head to its wound.

After all, it was his first time to kill a unicorn, so he didn't control his strength well and wasted a lot of blood. But it doesn't matter. If one unicorn is not enough, he will hunt the second and third unicorns. There are enough unicorns in this forest for his master to enjoy!

Quirrell was swallowing the unicorn's blood when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Without any hesitation, he suddenly turned his head to the right and pointed the wand hidden under his black robe at the giant wolf that was charging towards him with bared teeth:

"Diffindo!"

No sound came out of his mouth, but the invisible wind blade penetrated a giant tree with a diameter of more than five meters in an instant, and hit the giant wolf's body unabated!

boom!

Even though she had a natural magic resistance bonus, and even though she had sensed the danger in advance and dodged, the magic spell still cut a thin line of blood in her left eye, and the accompanying distance also made her run at high speed. The giant wolf below rolled several times in the air until its back hit a thick tree, and finally fell to the muddy ground in embarrassment.

"Beasts are beasts!"

Quirrell sneered and continued to lean on the breathtaking unicorn, swallowing its blood.

Roar!

The giant wolf had just gotten up from the ground and was baring its sharp fangs and roaring menacingly.

Quirrell was not polite. He waved his wand again and cast out one spell after another until the figure of the giant wolf was completely submerged. Although the giant wolf reacted quickly and dodged the incoming spells one by one, it never found a chance to get close to Quirrell and could only let him enjoy the blood wantonly.

But suddenly, Quirrell heard a rustling sound again, which made him change his color slightly, and raised his head to look at the dense forest in the distance. With the help of the falling moonlight, he could vaguely see a silver-gray giant wolf running in the direction where he was, and there was a vague figure on the back of the giant wolf, and there was a faint green light gathering in its hands!

Avada Kedavra? !

Quirrell's eyelids twitched, and his scalp suddenly felt numb!

His first reaction was to instinctively fly into the air and rush towards the open space on the other side. And the green magic spell also flashed across the night sky in an instant, hitting the unicorn's side where Quirrell was originally, leaving a deep pit, stirring up mud all over the sky.

Quirrell rolled twice on the ground in a very embarrassed manner before he managed to get up. Bai Zi had already taken the opportunity to jump down and block the unicorn. She arched her back, revealing her sharp fangs that shone with cold light. Grow menacingly.

In the deep darkness, Quirrell couldn't see Ash's appearance clearly, but as soon as he got up, he angrily raised his wand, pointed it at Ash, and shouted sharply:

"Avada Kedavra!"

At the same time that Quirrell released the killing curse, he once again heard the figure on the back of the giant wolf shout loudly:

"Avada Kedavra!"

The miserable green light was released from the two people's spells at the same time, colliding in the air and creating a burst of dazzling green light, which stung the people and made them unable to open their eyes. But vaguely, the 'center' that was dazzling due to the collision was still approaching Quirrell!

Quirrell's hand holding the wand trembled slightly, and the bright light that kept getting closer was like the god of death that was about to take away his life, but he could only watch this happen in fear!

Suddenly, Quirrell felt a surge of magic power flow into the wand along his body, causing it to release an even brighter green light, and even once pushed the 'center' of the collision back!

Quirrell immediately realized that his master was helping him, and he suddenly became so confident that he wanted to kill the opponent in one fell swoop and live up to Voldemort's blood!

As soon as he had this thought, his master's heart-rending scream sounded in his ears:

"Run! Run!"

Quirrell's pupils shrank sharply, obviously realizing something.

Without daring to hesitate at all, he quickly rushed to the right, narrowly dodging the life-killing curse that flew past his body.

The next second, the tip of Quirrell's wand suddenly released a burst of dazzling light. That light does no harm, its only function is to blind the person's eyes, so as to buy him time to escape!

boom!

Accompanied by a slight explosion, Quirrell's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Ash stared deeply at the direction where Quirrell disappeared and made no attempt to pursue him.

Quirrell was weaker than he thought, and he almost didn't use the strength to beat him to death. But fortunately, Voldemort was decisive and gave up the unicorn blood he finally obtained, converting all of it into magic power and finally escaped.

But Ash had no intention of killing Voldemort now. After all, without Voldemort, a natural villain, who would create a crisis for the wizarding world? If Ash solves the crisis before it breaks out, how can others be grateful to him if they don't know about the crisis?

This is like the suspension bridge effect. You have to let people walk on the suspension bridge and feel the fear of crumbling to have the desired effect.

Ash turned over and got off the wolf, walked quickly to the injured unicorn, squatted down, and whispered:

"Vulnera Sanentur (Speed ​​Healing)!"

"Rennervate!"

As a magical creature, unicorns themselves also have quite strong magic resistance. While they can resist the damage of magic spells, they will also reject the effects of healing spells. In addition, healing is much more difficult than destruction.

Ash also had to recite the spell quickly, one to repair the wound to prevent it from getting worse, and the other to restore the spirit and bring the unicorn's soul back from the near-death state.

Bai Zi transformed back into human form, forced open the unicorn's mouth, took out a bottle of uplifting potion from his pocket and poured it into it. With the three-pronged approach, the unicorn's heart gradually resumed beating, and the wound that almost tore the entire body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the breath is still weak, at least his life is safe.

The giant wolf that harassed Quirrell before approached them cautiously, but seemed a little scared and did not dare to get too close, just lingering nearby.

Ash then had the opportunity to observe this giant wolf. She had silver-gray hair similar to Bai Zi. But different from Bai Zi's light gray, and different from Setsuna's snow white, she looks like a large silver gradient, with only a little light gray at the end of her hair.

Ash frowned and asked with some confusion:

"Bai Zi, I don't think I've seen her before?"

Bai Zi pulled the scarf tightly and stared sharply at the giant wolf that hesitantly tried to approach:

"She once challenged me to usurp the alpha wolf position."

A flash of understanding flashed in Ash's eyes and he asked:

"So she was exiled by you?"

Bai Zi shook his head gently:

"Setsuna once challenged me, but she walked by herself."

"Self-exiled lone wolf?"

Ash muttered softly and waved to the lone wolf wandering not far away:

"come over."

The lone wolf hesitated for a long time, but finally cautiously and slowly approached Ash, lowering his head to let him pet him.

Ash gently touched her cheek and smiled gently:

"Good boy……"

He noticed the scar on the lone wolf's left eye. The werewolf's magic resistance was even higher than that of the unicorn. The scar was very shallow and did not even cut the eyelid. But Ash still took out his wand and prepared to treat her.

However, just as he took out the wand, the lone wolf suddenly showed its sharp teeth and hunched its back in a threatening posture.

"ah?"

Just when Ash was wondering if his Veela bloodline had expired, he suddenly heard a rapid sound breaking through the air!

call out!

Suddenly, an arrow whizzed over and hit the giant wolf's head accurately.

Roar!

The lone wolf jumped back with great dexterity, and the arrow almost missed his scalp. This frightened her a little, making her even more manic, and she kept growling threateningly.

There was a boiling sound in the dense forest, as if there were thousands of troops galloping in the forest!

Finally, as they gradually approached, Ash could see their appearance clearly with the help of the moonlight.

That's a bunch of centaurs!

They have the body of a horse, while the torso, arms and head are human. At this time, they are bending their bows and arrows with anger, trying to drive away or even kill the lone wolf that appears next to the injured unicorn. !

Even though we are outnumbered, the lone wolf still refuses to be outdone, hunching his back and baring his teeth in threat.

"This is a misunderstanding!"

The moment he saw the centaur's appearance, Ash immediately shouted loudly: "We were not the ones who attacked the unicorn!"

The leading centaur raised his hand to stop the attacks of the other centaurs and circled around Ash and the unicorn.

His hair and beard are red, and there is a fiery red tail trailing behind the shiny brown-red body. Although he seemed to have a rather violent temper, his tone was extremely calm and his voice was low:

"I can see that, wizard, you healed him."

The silver-white blood under the unicorn's body almost formed a small pool of lake, but there were no wounds on his body. Although his breathing was weak, his heartbeat was still steady. It was obvious that someone came to help him in time when his life was in danger.

Centaurs are unique magical creatures whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a horse.

They are the real indigenous people of the Forbidden Forest, and they have always taken the initiative to assume the responsibility of protecting the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid is just the game ranger of the Forbidden Forest, and the centaur is the real guardian of the forest.

Although the leader's explanation stopped the centaurs from pointing arrows at Ash, it did not calm their anger. Even if it wasn't these two wizards who did it, someone must be responsible for it - and that werewolf is undoubtedly the most likely beast!

Ash noticed the change in the centaur's attitude and immediately explained:

"It wasn't her. She had been trying to protect the unicorn. The wounds on her face were caused by the murderer."

The reddish-brown centaur frowned, glanced at the scar on the lone wolf's left eye, and then looked down at the faint pink line left when the wound healed on the unicorn's body. He didn't completely believe Ash's words, and his voice was suppressed. With anger:

"That was indeed damage caused by magic, wizard, tell me who did it?!"

Seeing that the centaurs were no longer as aggressive as before, Ash seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and considered his words:

"He is wearing a black robe and can't see clearly, but he must be a very powerful dark wizard!"

Woof! Woof!

There was a barking of hounds in the dense forest, and a dim light shone in the darkness. A half-giant in a coat appeared in front of them through the low bushes. He held a lamp in his hand and held it tightly in the other hand. Holding his beloved little pink umbrella.

When he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh, come on Merlin!"

He hurriedly ran to Ash with a lantern, stood between him and the red-brown centaur, and said nervously:

"Ronan, this has nothing to do with them, they are still students!"

The centaur named Ronan glanced at Hagrid and then looked away, saying in a deep voice:

"These are not ordinary students, Hagrid."

Hagrid suddenly became nervous and quietly held onto his little pink umbrella, but Ronan soon spoke again:

"They fought off the dark wizard who attacked the unicorn and healed the unicorn's wounds."

"ah?"

Hagrid looked confused, who to fight off? Heal who? what are you saying?

With a slight snort, the unicorn finally recovered and struggled to stand up.

He looked around and suddenly bent his forelimbs. Just when everyone thought he was going to fall again, he just knelt down and bowed his head in salute. The recipient of the salute was none other than the lone wolf that the centaurs were wary of and hostile to!

This scene was beyond the centaurs' expectations, and they finally believed that the werewolf was indeed protecting the unicorn. The unicorn straightened up, and then saluted Ash in the same way, completely confirming Ash's contribution to saving the unicorn in the hearts of the centaurs.

This eased the tense atmosphere, and the centaurs also put down their bows and arrows.

Hagrid looked at the 'lake' that dyed the ground silver, his tone full of pity and anger:

"Poor guy, what kind of person would do such a cruel thing to such a pure life?"

Ronan's voice was low and angry:

"Don't you understand yet? Hagrid."

"Only those who have nothing and want everything would commit such a heinous crime!"

Hagrid's heart suddenly sank. The unicorn's blood could extend the wizard's life, even if he was dying and on the verge of death.

But if you slaughter such a pure life, you will definitely pay a heavy price for it! From the moment his lips touch the unicorn's blood, he is cursed and half-dead for the rest of his life!

Ash suddenly spoke:

"He won't give up."

"Now that he has drank the unicorn's blood, it will never be the last time! He will definitely sneak into the Forbidden Forest again to attack the unicorn."

A centaur said angrily:

"We'll stop him!"

It was a dark-haired, dark-bodied centaur who looked quite wild and manic.

Ash said unceremoniously:

"With all due respect, if it weren't for our help, I'm afraid you wouldn't have discovered the unicorn's body until early tomorrow morning."

The centaurs looked a little ugly, but this was indeed the truth. If the frequent howls of wolves hadn't alerted them, and if Ash hadn't treated the unicorn in advance, all they would have seen when they arrived was a corpse!

The Forbidden Forest is too vast, and even the centaurs patrolling it 24/7 cannot cover everything. What's more, their enemy is still a powerful wizard. The opponent can use the Apparition and Disguise Spell to sneak into the Forbidden Forest silently, and the centaurs cannot detect it at all.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ash immediately said:

"I have a proposal."

"Centaurs can work with werewolves, just like today."

"The keen sense of smell of the werewolves allows them to track poachers more keenly than the centaurs. Once they find traces of outsiders, they can use wolf howls to convey information, and the centaurs can arrive as soon as possible according to the direction of the wolf howls. Go to the scene and stop the poachers from committing crimes.”

The irritable centaur roared:

"This is absolutely impossible! We will not cooperate with werewolves! Let alone wizards!"

"Bane!"

Ronan frowned and scolded, making the black centaur take two steps back.

Ronan lowered his head to look at Ash and said in a deep voice:

"As Bain said, we will not cooperate with werewolves, let alone wizards."

"but."

He straightened up and said slowly:

"We will do everything we can to protect unicorns, and there is no reason to stop you from protecting these pure creatures. If you hear wolves howling, whether they are trying to protect unicorns or trying to harm unicorns, that means unicorns The beast is in danger. So yes, we will get there as soon as possible, that's my promise."

Anyone can hear it now. Isn't this just cooperation in disguise?

But even the manic Bain only opened his mouth and did not refute Ronan on the spot. After all, Ronan's words have made it very clear that they are just protecting the unicorn separately, not cooperating.

Even if Bain wanted to object, he couldn't raise any objection at this time, otherwise would he want to stop the werewolf and wizard from protecting the unicorn?

These werewolves have lived in the Forbidden Forest for more than ten years and have always behaved without causing any trouble. They have never tried to attack other magical creatures, especially pure creatures like unicorns.

Therefore, there is indeed a basis for cooperation between centaurs and werewolves, and most centaurs are not as opposed to cooperation with werewolves as Bane is.

"Thank you for your selflessness. Hagrid has always told me that centaurs are the guardians of this forest. This is absolutely true. There is only a wrong name, not a wrong title!"

Ash immediately gave him sincere praise. Anyway, there is no charge for saying more nice words.

Hagrid looked a little weird. Is this what he said? Why doesn't he remember?

After agreeing with the centaurs to protect the purest unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid hurriedly took Ash out of the Forbidden Forest and headed to the principal's office.

Dumbledore had already gone to bed, but even though Hagrid respected Dumbledore very much, he had to wake him up with a rough knock on the door.

Dumbledore, whose hair and beard were messy, opened the door. While wiping his slightly blurred glasses with his pajamas, he asked:

"Hagrid, I assume you have something important to do when you come to visit late at night?"

Hagrid's expression was extremely serious and he said in a deep voice:

"Dumbledore, I think we are in big trouble!"

"A dark wizard attacked a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, trying to use the unicorn's blood to extend his life. If Ash and his werewolf friends hadn't stopped it in time, the unicorn might have died!"

"Dark wizard?"

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became sharp. He turned his gaze to Ash and asked, "Mr. Black, have you ever had a head-on confrontation with that dark wizard?"

"Yes, Principal Dumbledore." Ash nodded gently.

Dumbledore walked through the corridor filled with portraits of previous principals, came to his office, and asked:

"Can you describe him to me in detail?"

Ash frowned and tried to recall but still found nothing, so he could only sigh helplessly:

"It's a pity, Dumbledore. He was wearing a black robe and was shrouded in shadow. I couldn't see his face clearly..."

Dumbledore waved his hand and said emphatically:

"No, Mr. Black. I don't need a specific look, you just need to tell me how he makes you feel."

Ash's face suddenly darkened and he said solemnly:

"Very vicious and very powerful!"

"He was able to tear the unicorn's body apart with just one blow, and that spell almost cut the unicorn in half! Bai Zi and another werewolf were also attacked in order to stop him, and Bai Zi was cursed with a life-killing curse. Attacked, another werewolf's head was almost cut off."

"He doesn't take human life seriously at all. Whenever he takes action, it must be a Kedavra! If he hadn't sucked the blood of the unicorn and used it to break apart instead of Avada Kedavra, the unicorn would have never been killed. Can’t wait for our rescue!”

The more Hagrid listened, the more frightened he became. What kind of person could cast a death curse?

This is definitely no ordinary dark wizard! But the question is, why does such a dangerous person appear in the Forbidden Forest? Could he be a threat to the students at Hogwarts?

After hearing Ash's description, Dumbledore's expression became more solemn and he asked seriously:

"Mr. Black, if you meet him again, are you sure you can defeat him?"

"certainly."

Ash said unceremoniously:

"If he hadn't been concerned about the lives of Unicorn and Bai Zi, he wouldn't have had the chance to escape from my hands!"

"Is that so?"

Despite hearing Ash's affirmative answer, Dumbledore still felt heavy.

He was almost 90% sure that the dark wizard was Voldemort, but Dumbledore still couldn't figure out to what extent Voldemort's strength had recovered, nor what specific state he was in now, nor where he was hiding.

He originally wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone as bait to lure Voldemort out, but Voldemort remained as cunning as ever, never showing up in person, and always only letting his minions, Professor Quirrell, steal the Philosopher's Stone.

There is no doubt that as long as Quirrell doesn't get the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will never appear. But it is not easy for Quirrell to get the Philosopher's Stone. Because Quirrell is so mediocre, he can't even pass the level of being Hagrid's pet!

In fact, if Voldemort wanted to get the Sorcerer's Stone, he had a better way, and that was to go directly to Snape.

As one of the most loyal Death Eaters in the past, even the prophecy that killed Voldemort was told to him by Snape. Snape was deeply trusted by Voldemort. And as long as Snape is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to easily obtain the Philosopher's Stone. This is something both Dumbledore and Voldemort know.

But Voldemort, who is suspicious by nature, has obviously begun to doubt Snape's loyalty. After all, Snape has been teaching at Hogwarts for more than ten years, and Voldemort will definitely suspect that he has turned to Dumbledore - although this is indeed the case.

If Voldemort went to Snape directly, things would be much simpler. That way Dumbledore could kill Voldemort directly and nip the risk of Voldemort's comeback in the bud.

It's a pity that Voldemort's vigilance made him choose the mediocre Quirrell to be his minion. Although it was less efficient, it was indeed more reliable. At least Voldemort has not revealed his secret so far, and even Dumbledore can't find any trace of him.

Sometimes Dumbledore himself wondered if he was being too suspicious. Maybe it was never Voldemort, but just Quirrell's greed that drove him to steal the Philosopher's Stone?

But apart from being Voldemort, Dumbledore couldn't think of a second wizard who would be so ruthless in trying to extend his life through unicorn blood. The curse of drinking unicorn blood is not something ordinary wizards can bear. .

Dumbledore frowned. He raised his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows and said slowly:

"Hagrid, please go back first."

"Remember to keep in touch with the centaurs, and don't ignore the signals given by the werewolf. We must make every effort to stop him from slaughtering the unicorns! Also, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and do not mention it to anyone! "

Facing Dumbledore's repeated warnings, Hagrid patted his chest with a serious expression:

"I understand, Dumbledore, no third person...no fourth person will know about this!"

He turned and walked out of the principal's office, as if he was on some important mission.

"Dumbledore looked at Ash and saw that he seemed a little hesitant, so he asked proactively:

"Mr. Black, do you have any concerns?

Ash hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"With all due respect, Mr. Dumbledore, Hagrid is not a man suited to keeping secrets."

Dumbledore laughed dumbly and said in a relaxed tone:

"Although I want to refute you, you are right. But don't worry, Hagrid is still very reliable on such important matters. I believe he will keep it secret, just as I believe you and your werewolf friends It’s like protecting a unicorn.”

Ash frowned and said in a deep voice:

"I can't guarantee it. The Forbidden Forest is too big and I can't be there every time."

"and……"

He paused and said helplessly: "I can't go to the Forbidden Forest every night."

"Don't blame yourself, Mr. Black, just do your best."

Dumbledore did not force it and said softly:

"As long as we all do what we should do and have a clear conscience, that's fine."
