The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

However, after another Apparition class, Anthony did not see Hagrid at the door of the hall. They had made an appointment to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore today.

What are you doing standing here, Henry? Professor Sprout asked curiously as he passed by, Aren't you going to listen to Minerva's report?

A few students covered their faces and backpacks with their textbooks and snuck past them, giggling. Anthony glanced into their bags and saw Zuko's logo.

Professor McGonagall was invited to give a report to the Transfiguration Society and invited her colleagues to attend the banquet after the report. But because Anthony had an appointment a long time ago, he regretfully rejected her.

Me? I'm waiting for Hagrid. Anthony said, We agreed to go to the bookstore together today...

Professor Sprout smiled and said, Oh, I remember. If I were you, I would go straight to his house and have a look. Maybe he just lost track of time in the pumpkin patch.

I'll wait a little longer and then go find him. Anthony said. Although Hagrid forgets things from time to time, he often remembers things at the last moment. Even if he is late, it will not be too late. If you haven't come, I'm afraid something really happened.

Just as he looked around, a school owl flew over and landed on the railing next to him, showing a note hastily tied to his leg. Anthony pulled the corn kernels out of his bag—unlike Scabbers, his mouse seemed uninterested in the corn kernels—and unhooked the note from its leg.

Anthony unfolded the note, glanced at it, and raised it to Professor Sprout: It's from Hagrid. Professor Sprout also came over to look at it curiously.

Can't go to Flourish and Blott today. The unicorn is dead. You can come over if you want. Fang is in the house and he knows how to find me. Hagrid.

What? Professor Sprout asked confused, Which unicorn died?

Anthony frowned and said, The last time I met Hagrid, he mentioned that there was an injured unicorn mother. I think it died.

Injuried?

Yes, something strange happened to hurt it while it was just giving birth, Anthony said.

At the same time, a large group of professors happened to be walking along the porch. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were talking about something, and Professor Trelawney followed them with an ethereal expression, as if gliding on the ground.

What could possibly want to harm a unicorn? Professor Sprout said in disbelief.

Professor Quirrell followed them. He glanced at Professor Sprout and Anthony cautiously, and greeted them with a pale face. Behind him was Snape, his mouth twisted into a sneer, and he snorted disdainfully, making Professor Quirrell flinch.

Severus, Professor Sprout said disapprovingly.

Pomona, we are about to leave. Professor McGonagall greeted, I hope you and Hagrid go well shopping, Henry.

I also wish you good luck with your report. Remember to enjoy the victory banquet. Anthony folded the note and put it back in his pocket. I think I should go over there, Pomona.

Of course you should! Professor Sprout said immediately, Please pay my condolences to the deceased unicorn on my behalf. Tell Hagrid if there is anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate.

Anthony nodded to her and quickly walked out of the castle gate.

…

The first second she smelled his scent, Yaya screamed excitedly. It raced around the house, shaking the stove and the pots and pans in the cabinets with dangerous noises.

Anthony opened the door with his left hand and pressed down the big dog that rushed over with his right hand: Okay, Fang, okay! He said seriously, Bring the rope over, let's go find Hagrid.

Yaya excitedly tried to lick his nose. Anthony repeated the command twice before he finally took out the dog leash from the corner.

Anthony hung the rope on its collar: Come on, Fang, let's go find Hagrid.

Under the leadership of Ya Ya, they walked into the dense forest and walked deep into the Forbidden Forest. Perhaps because a unicorn died, there was a faint restless atmosphere throughout the Forbidden Forest, as if something dangerous and unfamiliar was moving among the black shadows of the trees.

Ya Ya shrank her neck in fear, whimpering softly, and wanted to retreat several times. She looked up at Anthony aggrievedly, and then walked forward cautiously. Anthony patted its head comfortingly: Just find Hagrid, okay?

The closer you get to the depths, the quieter the Forbidden Forest becomes. There were no insects or birds chirping, the sun couldn't shine in, and even the wind seemed to have stopped. Apart from the rustling of leaves as Anthony and Tooth walked through the trees, there was no sound. It's obviously getting warmer, but the woods are still as quiet as if they've fallen into an endless winter.

As they walked through the layers of leaves, Anthony could almost hear the intense heartbeat of Yaya beneath the anxious breathing of Yaya. Even Antony could not help but wonder at this moment why there seemed to be no living creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a faint sound in front of me. Yaya raised his eyes excitedly, rushed towards the thorn bushes and dense branches, pulled the rope in Anthony's hand straight, and almost dragged him directly into the woods.

Hey, hey, wait! Anthony shouted in a low voice, stumbling and being dragged by it, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid the basswood branches swept over his head.

It wasn't until Yaya suddenly stopped that Anthony had the energy to look at where he had arrived. This is a clearing in the forest. In the shadow of the woods next to it, pure unicorns gather in groups, staring sadly at the middle of the clearing, as if silently spreading across the silver-white ocean in the Forbidden Forest.

In the middle of the forest, Hagrid was kneeling with his back to them. There was an open small wooden box beside him. Anthony could faintly see the white gauze and a small medicine bottle. If he remembered correctly what Professor Sprout showed off to him before, it should be white fresh essence.

Fang silently walked slowly to Hagrid's side. A unicorn moved in the woods, and was gently stopped by a taller one next to it with its horn.

Yaya arched Hagrid's arm. Hagrid put down his handkerchief, turned around with red eyes, and hugged the huge dog's head. At this time, Anthony finally saw clearly what was blocked by Hagrid.

He had never seen such a heartbreaking scene.

The white creature lay on the ground, its beautiful neck bent in a stiff and weird posture, its lifeless eyes staring at its side, solidifying into a gentle and sad posture. There was a pool of silver-white blood next to it that seemed to be solidified yet still flowing. Two small golden unicorns were still lying next to the belly of the big unicorn, gently nudging them with their heads that had not yet grown their horns. Holding mother's body.

Hearing that a unicorn has died and seeing it die are two completely different feelings. Just watching all this, Anthony felt extremely sad. He didn't even understand why he was so sad that he felt like he couldn't breathe——

Oh, Henry! There you are! Hagrid suddenly broke the silence. The big man stood up, walked a few steps to Anthony, hugged him, and said with sobs: Thank you for coming... It's so uncomfortable... I must find the murderer... He blew his hands loudly. He blew his nose and shook his fist angrily.

Anthony struggled to support him, and his heavy mood was strangely diluted: It's okay, Hagrid, it's okay. He looked up and saw the unicorn behind the trees looking at him cautiously and suspiciously.
