I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 329 Unicorn and Penelo

Deep in the forbidden forest.

Ian and Penello walked along the path and looked at the lush scenery in front of them. It was obvious that there was no road here.

Looking around, there are tall trees and low shrubs everywhere, as well as herbaceous plants growing wantonly.

Even at noon, there is always a thin layer of fog surrounding the place, giving all the vegetation a hazy color.

"There is no way ahead, do we want to go back?" Penello looked around at the scenery wantonly. As a good student, this was the first time in seven years that she went deep into the Forbidden Forest.

"That's all we can do. It seems we are not very lucky." Ian accepted Penello's proposal.

After all, the end of the path is here, and beyond that is the real deserted place, a place that even Hagrid has never patrolled.

"Eh? Ian, wait a minute." Penello knelt down and pushed aside a bush. A purple and red plant a few centimeters high came into view.

"Hey, it seems you are lucky, a wild black root grass."

Ian only glanced at it and recognized the plant. It was a relatively rare herb that sold for 12 Sickles per plant in Diagon Alley.

"Do you know how to pick it?" Ian asked.

But when he turned around, he realized that he had done nothing wrong. Penello could easily identify blackroot, so how could he not know how to pick it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Penello, who was squatting on the ground, turned around and gave him a fierce look.

After a few minutes, Penello put away his wand and put the blackroot root and leaves into a temporary wooden box made by Transfiguration.

"Here, busy man! I can't let you return without success." Penello said and handed the box to Ian.

"Don't give me random nicknames, Miss Qingshui."

Ian took the box without any hesitation. There was nothing more than a 12-silk herb on the left and right. Friends who were too indifferent to each other would look alienated.

When Penello saw Ian taking the box decisively, a smile appeared on her face, and she continued:

"Are you going to make a potion? I remember it was recorded in a book that adding a small amount of black root juice to the white essence can cure some wounds caused by black magic."

"Does it have this effect?" Ian was a little surprised. To be honest, he really didn't know that black root grass had this effect.

When he mentioned the trauma of dark magic, his first reaction was Snape's signature magic: Shadowless Blade.

Concealment, lethality, curse, prevention of healing, all in one... Good guy, if you say that the person who invented this magic doesn't have any deep hatred, no one will believe it.

The worst thing about Shenfeng Wuying is that it prevents healing. As long as you are scratched by this magic, without a counter-spell, you are basically waiting to die. No matter it is potions or healing magic, it will not heal the wound.

Maybe Phoenix tears can heal, but 99.9% of people in the magic world have never seen Phoenix tears in their lives.

What he didn't expect was that the seemingly inconspicuous blackroot could actually have such an effect.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think." When Penello saw Ian's expression, he knew that the other person was wrong, and promptly added: "It can only be said to be somewhat effective, and it can reduce the malice of black magic. Don't be too optimistic about it. Great expectations.”

"Okay..." Ian curled his lips, feeling that this explanation was normal.

Otherwise, as Snape's status as potion master, how could he not know the function of blackroot grass? It seems that the other party also knew that blackroot grass could not cure Shen Feng Wuying's wounds.

……

The two of them just chatted for a while while walking back along the path they came from.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a sound of heavy footsteps not far away.The moment Penello heard the noise, she flicked her wrist as if reflexively. The wand in her sleeve was firmly held in her hand, and she looked around alertly.

Although she has never been to the Forbidden Forest, she knows very well what is hidden here, including trolls, werewolves, acromantula...

"You're really sharp and decisive..." After seeing Penello's smooth operation, Ian couldn't help but praise him secretly.

It’s hard to believe that a 17-year-old girl can do this kind of reaction and courage.

"Woof! Woof!" After a burst of barking, a black hound poked its head out of the bushes.

"Who's there?" A deep voice sounded.

Hearing this familiar voice, Penello also put away her wand. After all, she had also taken the Care of Magical Creatures course, and she could still recognize Hagrid's voice.

"Professor Hagrid, it's me!"

As soon as Penello finished speaking, a burly figure crushed a passage out of the bushes.

"Miss Crevat, you shouldn't have come to the Forbidden Forest without permission." Hagrid's voice came last, but there was a little reproach and anxiety in his tone.

When Ian heard this, he spoke in time: "Hagrid, I asked Penello to accompany me to the Forbidden Forest. Don't blame her."

After Hagrid squeezed out of the bushes and saw Ian, he breathed a sigh of relief. Weng Sheng said, "I'm worried about her safety. After a winter of slumber, many big guys in the Forbidden Forest are hungry." status……"

When Ian heard this, he glanced at Hagrid speechlessly, "What kind of big guy is that?"Just name Acromantula directly, the initiator of the whole thing.

Only Acromantulas go through hibernation, revive in spring, and then go on a crazy hunting spree.

Perhaps because Ian's eyes were too straightforward, Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment, trying to change the subject.

"Do you want to see the unicorns? But they have just given birth recently and are a bit wary. Even if I feed them food, I can only stand far away."

Ian followed Hagrid's hand and saw a huge iron cylinder half a man's height not far away. Apparently Hagrid had temporarily dropped it when he heard the noise.

"Of course, young unicorns are rare."

Ian readily agreed to this proposal.After looking at Penello and realizing that he also had a yearning look on his face, the two of them followed Hagrid.

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived in front of a wide grassy field.

Hagrid put down the iron bucket in his hand, stepped back a certain distance, took out a bone whistle from his pocket, and put it to his mouth.

As the whistle sounded, a tall and muscular male unicorn slowly walked out with snow-white fur. It looked at Penello warily. After realizing that there was no threat, it picked up the iron tube on the ground and left slowly. .

After the unicorn was completely gone, Hagrid glanced at Penello apologetically and explained:

"No way, this is the time when they are on alert. Young unicorns are not yet strong enough to cope with the complex environment of the Forbidden Forest."

In the scene just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the male unicorn was always wary of Penello alone.

"It's okay, Professor Hagrid! It's enough to see this beautiful creature from a distance." Penello said softly.

Ian also smiled at this and attributed the unicorn's vigilance to the sensitivity after giving birth.

In fact, he knew very well that this 4X powerful magical creature would not be so sensitive and careful even if it gave birth to cubs.

But... so what if you know the truth, no one is perfect.Ian could feel that Penello always treated him sincerely, and that was enough.
