The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

After the bear dissipated, Hagrid tried to hide his disappointment and walked slowly back to his cabin with Anthony. The cool evening breeze blew gently, and he seemed to have sobered up a lot from his wine, pulling Anthony to talk about the basilisk.

Are they all rats? Hagrid asked.

Most of them, Anthony said. There are also some ferrets and the like. They probably eat whatever they find.

Hagrid scratched his head: Oh... He actually sounded sympathetic.

Anthony asked in surprise: Don't you dislike basilisks?

I really don't like it, Hagrid said angrily, but think about it, such a big guy...eating rats... He shook his head and sighed.

Anthony pushed aside the branches in front of him: It's probably better than eating people, I guess. He suddenly remembered something, What does Aragog eat?

Oh, there are many things in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid said, I know about deer and foxes.

Then he started talking about Aragog. Hagrid was proud to say that Aragog was a kind and loyal friend. Even if humans are on the Acromantula's diet, it has never harmed humans because it is afraid that Hagrid will be sad.

…

After entering the lit cabin, Anthony couldn't help but stretch. Yaya wags his tail and circles around Hagrid. After being pushed away by him, he licks Anthony's ears enthusiastically.

Hagrid shuffled open his snack cupboard, threw a ham to the big dog, and stuffed the empty wine bottle into the trash can. He asked Anthony to ignore the things on the table, and he kicked and picked up the crumbs of rock crust cakes, boiled water on the brazier, and counted the inventory in the box next to the brazier.

Anthony went to tease Yaya. He put his hand on the snack cabinet as a gesture to open the door, and then withdrew his hand, making the black hound stand up anxiously. He smiled, patted Yaya's head, pulled the chair and leaned back, waved his wand, and lit the lamp next to him for Hagrid.

Oh, thank you... Hagrid muttered, That's weird, where did my teapot warmer go...

Anthony solved this problem with the Flying Charm. After a loud noise, the warm sleeve flew out of Yaya's favorite rag patchwork cushion.

The big dog rested its head on his lap and licked Anthony's hand with its wet nose. It was unbelievably warm.

Hagrid shook off the messy thermostat and put it on the copper kettle.

It's time for you to go back to the castle, Henry. He said, opening the curtains and taking a look, It's very late... Hey! You guys! Come back!

He jumped up, opened the door of the cabin, and strode out.

Anthony sat up and asked, What's wrong?

It's the Weasley brothers again. Hagrid whistled, and Fang immediately ran over. Since they entered school, I have been trying to drive them out of the Forbidden Forest almost every week.

He left in a hurry. Anthony put on his coat, closed the door for him, grabbed a lamp, and followed him.

Hagrid!

No need for this, I know the way... Hagrid said, Yaya was sniffing the ground carefully, Hurry up, Yaya. Those two brothers are as hard to find as two mice.

…

Can anyone please tell me what is the allure of a dark forest? Anthony looked at the time, so much so that you are willing to bypass all the professors patrolling the night tour at 1:30 in the morning. To answer its call?

He held a lantern. Beside him, Hagrid was examining a wound on one of his brothers' legs. Ya Ya lay on the ground, gasping for air.

It's okay, Hagrid, it was just scratched by a branch. The Weasley said with a smile, Your dog is running faster and faster.

Hagrid said gruffly: Thanks to you two. He frowned, Why did you get there?

Something shiny passed, the other Weasley said, looking closer at the wound. It's swollen, Fred.

Hagrid said: It seems like there is a thorn stuck in it. He looked at his big finger and looked up at Anthony.

Anthony also squatted down, handed the lamp to Hagrid, and asked, What is that sparkling thing?

I don't know. Fred said, We heard Hagrid chasing after us before we could follow him. Hiss...

Anthony raised the pulled thorn in front of him: Take it yourself, Weasley. Stand up and try? Remember to find Madam Pomfrey when you go back.

Fred stood up from the stake and limped a few steps: Almost ready, Professor. He glanced at his brother.

Professor Anthony, Hagrid, that's it! George said suddenly, pointing to the woods behind them, Another one passed by!

Hagrid raised the lantern high and turned his head: What is it?

Anthony almost turned his head, reacted in time and grabbed Fred's wizard robe, looking at the twin brothers funny: This trick won't work, Weasley.

Fred said innocently: What are you talking about?

Henry, Hagrid said, keeping his head turned, it's the unicorn you haven't seen all this time.

Anthony turned around suddenly: What——

Then he was speechless. A white creature flew lightly over the entangled tree roots and passed through the depths of the dense forest. Behind him, the Weasley brothers also looked very surprised, gaping at the place where it disappeared.

They should usually be sleeping. Hagrid muttered, handing the lantern to Anthony, I'll follow and take a look.

Anthony nodded: Let's go, Weasley. It's time to go to bed. He held Fang and watched Hagrid's figure disappear into the night. He held up the lamp and signaled the Weasley brothers to go back.

Unicorn... one of the Weasleys sighed, it's worth it.

Anthony asked: What did you come here to do?

The twins asked deeply: Have you ever had this curiosity to explore the unknown, Professor?

“The courage to swim against the tide when all the rules tell you not to?”

…

The torches on the castle walls cast flickering light on the uneven stone bricks, and it was pitch black outside the windows.

Anthony called to the Weasley brothers who were about to walk to Gryffindor Tower: Go to the school hospital.

No, Professor, no need. Fred said, jumping on the spot, It's okay.

He smiled slyly at Anthony. He pretended to be limping all the way, changing the subject when Anthony warned them not to explore further into the Forbidden Forest.

Anthony shook his head helplessly and said, As long as it's okay, don't let me catch you wandering at night again, Weasley...ah, I almost forgot, ten points from Gryffindor.

He couldn't help but think about it. Since joining the job, he has not deducted a single point in Muggle Studies, but he has deducted a lot of points from students here and there in other chores...and they are all from Gryffindor and Slytherin.
