Chapter 161: Angry unicorn

The weather is still very cold, although the snow has stopped for a week.
The Christmas holiday is over and the new semester begins.
On the first afternoon of the new year, they stepped on the snow and walked towards Hagrid's cabin.
The number of students seems to be much less, especially the Slytherin students.
"A lot of people don't want to be students of a hybrid giant, such as Selwyn and Avery..." Astoria whispered, "So they didn't come here..."
Her face still looked a little blush, this was their first direct conversation after the Christmas ball.
"Then they might be disappointed!" Jon shrugged.
Almost as soon as Jon's voice fell, an elderly witch walked out from behind Hagrid's cabin.
With a pipe in her mouth, she took a hard sip and glanced at the crowd; the witch looked strange, her gray hair was cut short, and her chin was very prominent...
"Are everyone here?" she asked loudly.
"Who are you?" Steven Lucas asked somewhat surprised.
"Grapland, Professor Wilmina Grapland!" the witch replied loudly, "Is your temporary substitute teacher for the protection of magical creatures class!"
She opened her mouth as she spoke, revealing a big yellow tooth.
"Where is Professor Hagrid?" Astoria asked in a low voice.
"Hagrid..." Professor Grapland was stunned: "His body is a little uncomfortable."
There was a whisper among the crowd, and Jon knew that they were discussing the report in the Daily Prophet.
"Come with me!" Professor Grapland commanded.
The group bypassed Hagrid's hut, walked into the forbidden forest, and finally stopped by an oak tree.
"Wait a moment..." Professor Grapland shouted, and then disappeared into the forbidden forest.
...
A few minutes later, she came back with a horse-like white creature behind her back.
"God!" Astoria was the first to react, she covered her mouth in surprise: "It's a unicorn!"
A pure white horse-like creature, shimmering all over, with no defects visible on its four slender legs, its mane flattened down, white like a pearl, and a sharp horn on top of its head stands upright.
"Sure enough, it is a unicorn!" Jon couldn't help swallowing.
Unicorns are all treasures.
Its horns are ground into powder, which is a very precious potion that can treat serious wounds, including many black magic injuries; its blood is the best delay agent in potions, which can extend the time. , Which greatly reduces the difficulty of configuring many advanced potions; its leather is a kind of leather with excellent magic protection...
Even the hair can be used as the core of a magic wand.
Because the things on the unicorns are too precious, they have no sense of protection against wizards. Although they are born with strong magic, they were still hunted on a large scale by wizards in the 18th and 19th centuries... once on the verge of extinction .
So much so that the Ministry of Magic had to designate unicorns as first-class protection artifact creatures, and made up rumors that deceive children such as "killing unicorns will be cursed".
In the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, there lived a colony of more than twenty unicorns. This is already the largest unicorn colony in Europe...Of course, even the principal is not qualified to hunt them.
...
"Boys step back!" Professor Grapland screamed, "Unicorns like women's touch. The girls stand in front, approach it carefully, come over, relax..."
Jon took dozens of steps, watching the group of girls gather around Professor Grapland and the unicorn.
"I will be reborn as a unicorn in my next life!" Zacharys-Smith said with a look of envy.
"This is a bit difficult." Jon retorted softly: "The unicorn is a magical creature with a very powerful talent for magic!"
"Can't you give me some hope?" Zacharias roared furiously.
"Good job, Miss Greengrass!" They said as they heard Professor Grapland exclaiming over there, "She already likes you!"
Jon blinked and saw the unicorn approaching Astoria affectionately, licking her hand.
"The boys can come over!" Professor Grapland waved at them.
Jon and Zacharias hurriedly joined them.
Jon saw Astoria reluctantly leave the unicorn.
"You have to be careful!" Professor Grapland warned: "Get closer to it, who will come first?"
"I'm coming!" Jon raised his hand.
"Okay, Jon Hart?" Professor Grapland glanced at him and said his name directly.
It seems that he is already a nickname at Hogwarts.
"Yes!" Jon nodded, and then slowly moved closer.
"You better take out your wand, Mr. Hart!" Professor Grapland suggested: "Unicorns generally like the smell of wands..."
Jon obeyed her order and took out the wand from his pocket.
The unicorn in front of him suddenly changed his expression.
It suddenly raised its two front hooves high, as if making a demonstrative roar.
"Stop!" Professor Grapland hurriedly shouted, "Sarah...what's wrong with you!"
Generally speaking, Professor Grapland grabbed the unicorn's reins.
If it hadn't been for Professor Grapland to hold it, I'm afraid the unicorn had already rushed towards Jon.
The unicorn was still roaring frantically, almost kicking Alois Midgen with a front hoof...
The students are in chaos.
Jon also froze for a moment, and hurried back a few steps, not knowing what happened.
...
"What's the matter?" A rough voice suddenly came from behind them.
Ruber Hagrid, with red eyes, appeared behind the crowd~EbookFREE.me~ and shouted: "Wilmina, let me come!"
Hagrid rushed forward, hugging the unicorn's head tightly.
"Sarah... kid... don't get excited, brother is here..." only Hagrid whispered in the ear of the unicorn.
The unicorn was excited just now, and calmed down a little bit.
Professor Wilmina Grapland breathed a sigh of relief, her hand flushed with the rope.
"Luckily you are here, Hagrid!" Professor Grapland said gratefully.
"It's okay!" Hagrid shook his head, and at the same time gently held the unicorn's rope, took it a little bit, and returned to the depths of the forbidden forest.
There was thunderous applause from the students behind him.
"What are you looking at?" Astoria asked curiously, looking at Jon, who was wandering around.
"Nothing... just looking for a bee!" Jon replied calmly.
