Chapter 98 Hagrid and the Unicorn (first order requested: 720)
Hogwarts, Forbidden Forest.
Entering the Forbidden Forest, trees so thick that two people need to hug each other stand around.
If you look at it from the ground, you can't see the blue sky at all, you can only see layers of branches and leaves.
But maybe it was morning, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and branches, bringing light to the Forbidden Forest.
At this moment, Lockhart stepped on the gray soil on the ground, but what surprised him was that.
The soil nearby does not appear to be very moist, but is slightly soft, and can even be called dry.
When you step on it, you can feel the solid, hard earth, and subconsciously feel a sense of security.
Wow! Wow!
Lockhart shouted loudly as he watched the sturdy Hagrid in front of him pass through a large number of branches, causing the branches to shake continuously.
"Hagrid, how long does it take to reach our destination?"
"Lockhart, hurry up, hurry up, we'll be there in a little while."
Lockhart was speechless when he heard the voice coming from the front.
Soon, soon.
Asked four or five times in a row, Hagrid always responded like this.
How does he feel? After being asked four or five times, he will still say "It's almost, it's almost"
Is it possible that in any world, guides will spontaneously master this skill?
really
After walking for a while, the voice of "Come on, come on" still came from the front.
In response, Lockhart remained silent and prepared to follow silently.
Who let Hagrid know the traces of the Ball Escape Bird?
In other words, who wants to practice phantom movement and other space magic spells through the Ball Escape Bird?
After walking some distance, Hagrid suddenly turned back and spoke to him in a very low voice.
"Lockhart, be careful not to make too much noise."
"There's a unicorn in front of you, don't disturb her."
Hearing this, Lockhart felt a little excited. Although he didn't encounter a ball escaper, unicorns were also very rare.
He quickly and cautiously walked to the front and looked forward.
In Lockhart's eyes, a beautiful creature with silver light emerged from the bushes in front of him.
Its hair is pure silver, like an elegant and noble pony.
The most conspicuous thing is the long spiral horn on its head.
"Hagrid, you have been in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, do you know this unicorn?"
In response, Hagrid shook his head slightly and said very softly: "I know some unicorns, and I have a good relationship with them."
"But this is the first time I've encountered it."
"Be careful, unicorns are very wary of strangers, especially strange men."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded.
That’s right, whether it’s from the past life or from reading books in this life.
Unicorns are more affectionate to pure girls.
For men, it's actually very common.
Running away without meeting each other means that the relationship is okay.
"Bah, bah, bah."
Lockhart saw Hagrid making regular sounds next to him, and he was filled with anticipation.
I hope that Hagrid, as an expert on magical animals, will be able to not only own a unicorn, but he should be able to touch it.
It may be that Hagrid himself has a strong affinity for magical animals, or maybe the talisman also played a role.
The unicorn turned to look at Hagrid, but did not make any move and continued to eat the grass.
Seeing this, Hagrid felt happy and patted Lockhart's shoulder lightly, indicating not to make any move.
Of course, Lockhart completely obeyed this, and he also expected Hagrid to take him to touch the unicorn.
Well, it's better to pull the hair out again.
Then he watched Hagrid carefully sifting some fresh green grass from the surrounding ground.
He gently placed it on his palm, and at the same time slowly handed his palm to the unicorn's mouth.
It makes a regular "咴, 咴" sound as if it is conveying some information.
Maybe it was because Hagrid didn't have any ill intentions at all. The unicorn took one look at it and swallowed the fresh grass in Hagrid's hand.
Watching this scene, Lockhart felt a little emotional.
Hagrid is indeed a professional magical animal expert. Anyone can feed grass, but making a unicorn eat the grass in his hand with confidence is a technical job.
If it were him, he would probably be cast under a few spells.
Can you catch it?
Lockhart doesn't know, he hasn't fought a unicorn yet.
Soon, relying on Hagrid's rich experience, Lockhart saw that he had already reached out and gently stroked the unicorn's hair.
Seeing this, Lockhart also cautiously took a few more steps forward.
Looking at the unicorn that seemed to be enjoying the touch, Lockhart reached out and tried to touch it lightly.
Maybe he also knew that the humans in front of him were not hostile.
Lockhart looked up, but made no move.
Seeing this, Lockhart followed Hagrid's example and found the fresh green grass around him, fed it to the unicorn in front of him, and at the same time tried to stroke its silvery fur.
Feeling the little magic waves radiating around the unicorn's hair brings you a sense of comfort.
Lockhart squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
It is said that unicorns have the ability to heal others, so the magic power around him should have the same effect, but it is much weaker.
However, if you really have a unicorn for a long time, I am afraid that the efficiency of practicing healing spells will be much higher.
As if sensing Lockhart's thoughts, the unicorn then shrank back, as if to avoid Lockhart's touch.
Seeing this, Lockhart smiled awkwardly and did not continue touching it.
Instead, he left a distant position and quietly watched how Hagrid fed the unicorn.
He is just a little curious about unicorns. I am lucky to get it, but I am lucky to lose it.
This was thanks to Hagrid's light, otherwise he would probably have run away the moment he saw him.
After a while, maybe the unicorn was full, and Hagrid also felt that the unicorn was about to leave, and stopped stroking it gently.
Then, under a ray of sunlight, Lockhart watched the man and the beast separate one after another.
This scene feels strangely familiar.
It's as if the adult is watching the child leave, still a little reluctant, but still chooses to let go.
Lockhart suddenly understood why Hagrid was loved by magical animals.
In addition to having enough love for magical animals, you also know how to let go.
He did not blindly confine all magical animals around him.
If Hagrid was really like this, I'm afraid the unicorn would have left Hagrid long ago.
"Hagrid, it's time to set off now. Let's go to the place where there are ball evaders."
After watching Hagrid come to his senses, Lockhart stepped forward and patted Hagrid's thigh, saying in a deep voice.
"Okay, Lockhart."
"Let's go now."
With that said, Hagrid continued to lead the way, heading towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
