The night at Hogwarts always looks very quiet on the surface.
But in fact, secretly, I don't know how many demons and ghosts are hidden.
In the castle, a figure in a black robe moved silently in the corridor, and finally came to the gate on the first floor and left the castle secretly.
He carefully entered the forbidden forest from a location far from Hagrid's hut, and then disappeared into the vast woods.
None of this seemed to be noticed by anyone, only a crow standing quietly on the branch saw all his actions in his eyes.
After the black-robed man entered the forbidden forest, the crow also spread its wings, followed behind him, and disappeared into the night.
Lynn was hiding among the dense branches, observing Quirrell's every move in the forbidden forest.
He seemed to have identified a goal in his mind. After entering the Forbidden Forest, he walked in one direction extremely fast, walked around for about an hour, and finally came to a lake.
The lake is not big, and there are already a group of extremely precious magical creatures-unicorns around it.
Unicorns can judge their age by their hair. The golden hair belongs to the juvenile period, and the silver one is between two and seven years old. The horns will grow on their heads when they are four years old. After adulthood, the hair will become completely snow white.
The group of unicorns does not look small. Among them, most of the cubs have golden and silver hair, all of which are guarded by adult unicorns.
Quirrell looked like an experienced hunter, hiding himself behind a thick tree.
It took him three nights to figure out the survival habits of the group of unicorns in the forbidden forest. He had tried to make a hand two days ago, but failed.
Although unicorns can’t make magic, they are extremely resistant to magic and move very fast. Quirrell’s death curse is completely inaccurate and cannot hit them at all. Instead, several adult unicorns are chasing them. Lin's running around.
After summing up the lesson, he stayed in the castle for two days, and this time he was finally ready to start with confidence.
Quirrell waited patiently. After the unicorns finished drinking the water, some of them gathered together and prepared to return to the station. However, there were still a few unicorns separated from the main unit.
Unicorns are a group of very smart magical creatures. Their living habits are not all the same. Some will choose to live in groups, and some will choose to be independent of their ethnic group.
This time the group drinking water was mainly due to Quirrell's attack two days ago, which aroused their vigilance and caused the unicorns living alone to subconsciously and group together.
But they always separate.
Quirrell is like a lone wolf who has chosen a good prey, hanging from a distance at the end of the unicorn group.
Seeing one after another unicorns separated from the army, he finally selected his target.
It was a developmental unicorn with silvery white hair all over.
Although golden-haired juvenile unicorns are easier to catch, because they are still too young, the magic effect contained in their blood is too low to meet the requirements of the Dark Lord.
Adult unicorns are too difficult to capture. These solitary adult unicorns are old fritters in the forbidden forest. They know much more about the terrain than Quirrell. The reason why he failed last time was that Because when it was chasing, it was far less familiar with the environment of the forbidden forest, and it was finally blocked.
So, now Quirrell chose to change a goal.
Even if the developing unicorn lives alone, it hasn't been long before leaving the group. Just like college students who have just graduated and entered society, they are not so familiar with society and are easily deceived.
The unicorn that Quirrell was staring at was not aware of the imminent danger at all. After leaving the army, it was like a cheerful alpaca, bouncing all the way and seeing the grass kicking its hooves. Seeing the flower kicking both hooves, he almost lifted his hind legs to pee under the tree.
Just when the atmosphere in the Forbidden Forest was peaceful and peaceful, a dazzling fire light suddenly lit up!
It was like the first firework exploded in the night sky, followed by several explosions!
Without warning and without precaution, the unicorn had responded extremely quickly and tried its best to dodge, but it was still injured in its hind limbs.
It fell to the ground, silver blood spilled from its body, and helpless wailing sounded from its mouth!
Quirrell walked out from behind the tree indifferently and numbly, showing no mercy for the tragic scene.
He panted slightly, and the continuous use of the silent explosion curse was too exhausting for his physical strength, but the effect was also very obvious. He successfully captured a living unicorn.
Quirrell did not hesitate, and was about to cast a death curse on the wailing unicorn lying on the ground and completely kill it.
"Avada..."
Before he finished chanting his spell, suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently.
The sound of the "Rumble" hoof trampling on the ground sounded and interrupted Quirrell's spellcasting. A group of horsemen charged here with spears and bows in their hands!
At this time, Quirrell was shocked to realize that he was too close to the territory of the horsemen ~ www.novel35.com~ and just used a very dynamic explosive spell, which inevitably attracted the attention of the horsemen.
He hated the unicorn lying on the ground with his chest constantly rising and falling, and the silver blood piled under it, and finally chose to turn around and escape.
The unicorn can still be killed, but if he is caught, everything is done.
The horses quickly rushed to the position of the injured unicorn, a small part of them stayed in place, and most of the rest began to capture Quirrell in the forbidden forest.
This time the leading horseman was still Firenze. He bent over to check the wounds of the unicorn lying on the ground, and finally shook his head at the surrounding compatriots.
"There is too much blood loss and the wound is too big to be saved."
Not long after his voice fell, the unicorn's gasping voice began to weaken, and pure tears flowed from the corners of its eyes, and finally the expression in its eyes gradually lost its brilliance.
The horses around were silent, watching this pure life pass before their eyes, and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressed.
A horseman with red hair and beard and a shiny brown-red horse body below his waist suddenly punched the tree trunk beside him.
"It's all done by wizards! We rush into Hogwarts now! Threatening them to hand over the murderer!"
"Don't act recklessly, Ronan." Firenze persuaded his people. "We need to tell Hagrid about this first."
While they were talking, on the branch, a crow soared into the air and flew towards the outside of the forbidden forest.
Lynn confirmed that tonight's development was normal. As in the original book, although Quirrell killed a unicorn, he did not drink the unicorn's blood.
And when he enters the Forbidden Forest next time, it is the opportunity Lynn has been waiting for!
