Hogwarts Slytherin

Chapter 138

Madam Pomfrey looked at the two people who hurried into the hospital wing with confusion. She knew them and was good friends with the other two resident children.

Lupine's eyes burst with hope when he saw Madam Pomfrey, but he ran too fast and too hastily. Under the emotional brake, he couldn't help but lean over and start vomiting.

Peter was also holding on to the wall and breathing heavily.

"Children, what's wrong with you?" The Pomfrey man looked at the two of them, but couldn't see where they were injured.

"Mrs. Pomfrey...we...my friend is injured. Please come with us quickly. He is in the Forbidden Forest now."

"Oh! Merlin, why did you little guys go to the Forbidden Forest at night! Were you attacked by magical creatures?"

Madam Pomfrey realized the seriousness of the matter. She immediately stood up and walked to the medicine department. She scanned the bottles and cans on the shelf and put them all into an inconspicuous small box.

Apparently the chest had also been cast under a Traceless Stretching Charm.

"I...I can't explain clearly at the moment. We need your help. Madam Pomfrey, can you come with me now?" Lu Ping was worried.

Peter, who had just recovered his breath, nodded heavily in agreement.

Madam Pomfrey frowned dissatisfied. Judging from the looks of the two of them, it was obvious that the situation was very urgent, but they were still hesitant to speak and refused to tell what happened in the Forbidden Forest.

Explaining the cause as early as possible can help her prescribe the right medicine more quickly.

"Well, I would say you are too careless."

The three of them rushed towards the forbidden forest without stopping.

……

In the Forbidden Forest, James' situation is more complicated than Reggie imagined.

Two flashbacks almost exhausted his remaining willpower. No matter what methods Reggie used - even attacks, he could not keep him awake.

In desperation, he tried his best, but the situation did not improve much.

Every extra minute or second is torture.

Ruiji was secretly anxious, but he had no choice but to do so. He did not know much about this aspect.

The Forbidden Forest witnessed too much this night, and the thunderstorm had faded.

But Hogwarts is about to be stormy.

He could pray in his heart that Lupine and the two would move quickly enough. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at James.

At first glance, I found something wrong!

James' Animagus form failed to transform back into human form, so he remained stuck in the half-human, half-deer form. However, at this moment, Reggie discovered that his lower body was gradually beginning to transform into a deer.

Oops!

That's too late.

The unicorn cub barked again, unexpectedly started to nudge James, and then turned back to look at Reggie blankly.

Is it...

*****

Hogwarts after curfew.

forbidden forest.

At this moment, there was not only Reggie in the dark Forbidden Forest, but also two pale-faced teenagers, Sirius and James.

Both of them have completely returned to their human form, especially James, who has almost never seen him look as pale as he does now.

Sirius looked at James, then at Reggie, and said softly: "Thank you... Remus should be back soon. We will see if he doesn't tell Madam Pomfrey. It’s best not to reveal anything about the Animagus.”

It is illegal to practice Animagus privately without declaring it, not to mention that they are still minors. Even if they don't have to enter Azkaban, they will probably be expelled from school.

From a young wizard's point of view, they were indeed a little too daring... Nothing happened because of Merlin's blessing!

James nodded blankly.

The excitement brought to him by the transformation of Animagus was gone, and for a long time, he did not dare to transform.

Reggie didn't say anything, just looked at the unicorn cub lying on the ground.

It was what saved James just now.

Can unicorn blood still be used to alleviate Animagus failure...

The little guy was now lying on the ground with his belly up. He had bled a lot that night. After he had just provided blood to James, he looked at Reggie helplessly.

Reggie understood that there was an exchange.

Feeling dumbfounded, he took out the joy potion from his pocket.

The blood of unicorns is so precious... If they knew that the joy potion could be exchanged for the blood voluntarily given by unicorns, these guys might be drained of their own blood.

The surrounding area gradually became quiet.

"What did you give it?"

Sirius suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt: "How did it become like this? Unicorns are social animals, how come this little guy is alone?"

The Forbidden Forest is small or big. Unicorns can occasionally be seen, but they almost never get close to humans. And tonight, this unicorn not only looks a little different, but also has a head on its head. The horns are golden!And he looked injured.

Of course, Sirius did not suspect that Reggie had done it, but was just curious about how he met this little guy.

Reggie shook his head: "I also saw it accidentally, and it was already injured when I found it. I came to the Forbidden Forest tonight to see if there is any information about the next round of competition."

Everyone knows what is hidden in the Forbidden Forest this year, and it must be related to the inter-school wizard duel competition.

The third round of competition is about to begin, and no one is sure whether it will be used in this round or the last round.

This year, the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts was much busier than in previous years.

Ruigi's team now represents the third grade. The reform of the competition mechanism gives him a certain probability of being unlucky enough to directly encounter the seventh grade team, so he understands by doing some homework in advance.

Sirius was just asking casually, and James was still in a daze.

……

When the three people rushed over, they saw a harmonious scene of three people and one beast.

Madam Pomfrey was angry: "Mr. Lupin, Mr. Pedro, is this the critical situation you said?!"

Lupine and Peter also looked at several people in stunned silence.

The marauders looked at each other and began to exchange signals frantically.

"Did you tell her?"

"I did not say anything."

"I didn't say it either."

"What's your situation?"

"Go back and talk about this."

"Very well, no one can say anything tonight."

"What about him - Reggie?"

"We have unified our message and everyone is keeping it secret."

"receive."

"receive."

Eye contact ends.

James began his performance, and saw him looking at the angry Madam Pomfrey, and let out a cry of remorse and pain, "Madam Pomfrey, please forgive me, I have to do this. I told them that if it were not the case , you will definitely not come here so quickly."

Madam Pomfrey said nothing, but could not hide her anger.

James rolled his eyes, looked around, and then settled on the unicorn cub!

He squatted down next to the unicorn with a worried expression: "We found this injured unicorn on the edge of the Forbidden Forest! Madam Pomfrey, you know, it's hard to imagine what kind of creature would actively harm a unicorn. It looks terrible."

He spoke more smoothly: "Then we moved it to a safer place and gave it some simple treatment, so we missed the castle's curfew for this!"

Madam Pomfrey glanced at them suspiciously.

The marauder nodded like garlic, proving the authenticity of James' words.

His eyes paused when he saw Reggie.

Madam Pomfrey herself is an outstanding graduate of Slytherin, so naturally she pays close attention to this famous genius, Slytherin, and knows that he is a Slytherin "alien."

I heard that he didn't care about the blood of wizards, but I didn't expect that he had such a good relationship with the Gryffindors.

Reggie also nodded, indicating that it was what he said.

Seeing how caring these little guys were, Madam Pomfrey was very pleased. She put away the scowl on her face and began to step forward to carefully observe the unicorns.

It does look a bit miserable.

The horn on the head is broken...

Looks like he lost a lot of blood...

Depression caused by excessive weakness...

Seeing it fall to the ground, Madam Pomfrey quickly made a decision in her mind.

I checked the broken corner again, and I could clearly see the residue of white fresh essence applied on it. I nodded inwardly. It seemed that these children really weren't lying.

Several rays of white light hit the little guy, and the blood that had been flowing slowly at its broken corner finally stopped.

James smiled in surprise. He squatted next to the unicorn and encouraged: "Little guy, stand up! Little guy, stand up!"

"Cough..." Reggie tried his best to suppress the vibration in his chest, which turned into a light cough.

Beside, Sirius stood at an angle completely invisible to Madam Pomfrey, grinning and giving James a thumbs-up crazily.

Lu Ping looked at them quietly and stopped talking.

The unicorn cub stood up, spun around happily, nuzzled Madam Pomfrey to express her gratitude, and then walked over to Reggie.

"Uh... I think it's fine. It just needs to be treated regularly." Madam Pomfrey's eyes couldn't help but dart back and forth between the unicorn and Reggie. "Creatures in the Forbidden Forest are not allowed. Even unicorns come into Hogwarts. It looks like it likes you, Reggie."

Unicorns are beautiful animals. Adult unicorns are silvery white and when they are young, they are golden yellow.

Their horns, blood and hair all have strong magical effects: the horn has a detoxifying effect (it is said that a knife with a unicorn horn handle can tell whether it is poisonous when cutting food) and the tail hair can be used to make a magic wand. , and its blood is silver-white and can extend life.

But if he kills the unicorn for this reason, the wizard will regret it, because he will be cursed.

Its character and docile appearance are very different, and it can fight with elephants and dragons.It generally avoids contact with humans, probably preferring to be approached by witches rather than wizards, and is very fast running, making capture very difficult.

So when she saw the unicorn being so close to Reggie, Madam Pomfrey seemed a little surprised.

Although he didn't understand it, this behavior meant that the unicorn trusted him very much.

"Maybe it's Merlin's guidance. I also like this little guy very much." Reggie gently stroked the hair on his body.

The little guy closed his eyes in cooperation and seemed to enjoy it very much.

In the end, as Reggie had originally planned, the unicorn was entrusted to Hagrid's care.

Fortunately, the little guy didn't show any fear of the giant. It may be that his tribe is familiar with Hagrid. In short, when Hagrid saw the unicorn cub, he was first surprised and then very surprised. anger.

Just like everyone's first reaction when they see it.

No wizard or other creature would harm this pure and beautiful creature.

Before they said goodbye, Hagrid vowed to take good care of the little guy.

After bidding farewell to Madam Pomfrey.

Reggie looked at the marauders and asked the question that had been hiding in his heart tonight.

"Tell me the truth, did you take the Felixir tonight?"

After the Animagus transformed successfully and the Animagus failed to transform, there happened to be a unicorn beside him. For Merlin's sake, after calling Madam Pomfrey, she didn't even have a few people until they separated. The college deducts points.

This luck is simply too good to be true.

James looked at him in surprise, and then rolled his eyes, as if he asked some stupid question.

……

When we returned to the lounge, it was already deserted.

After the rune snake incident, there were far fewer people in the Slytherin common room.

Perhaps the senior class discovered that there were more important things waiting for them than just sitting in front of the fireplace.

Except for the top families, joining the Death Eaters is not their ultimate goal. Their goal is to become core Death Eaters.

Be engraved with the mark that symbolizes glory.

The mark that linked them to the Dark Lord.

******

The Marauders had become much more honest in the past few days. After that night, when they got up the next day, they completely forgot about the fear of almost failing to transform.

Mainly because James and Sirius forgot.

Even in the dormitory during the day, they have been practicing Animagus. Not long after they succeeded, they still cannot fully control the animal form, mainly because they cannot fully resist the animal's original form in the transformed state.

This also allows them to practice more frequently.

In the past few nights, Reggie would go to Hagrid's hut to visit the injured unicorn.

Today is the last night.

At the edge of the black lake, Reggie saw a few more people.

He swore he didn't mean to eavesdrop.

"Those Slytherins, they are eager to fall under the robes of... You-Know-Who."

"Don't you already know that?" Sirius said casually while sitting on the grass, "Those disgusting snakes always like to look for opportunities to bite others insidiously."

"Merlin's stinky socks! Have you heard about the Walpurgis Journal?" James angrily threw a stone into the black lake and turned to the two of them.

Peter had no reaction to this.

Sirius obviously heard about it and let out a strange cry: "Oh! Knights of Walpurgis, they really dare to call this name! It seems that no one knows that they are Death Eaters."

"I thought a Daily Prophet was bad enough." James said mockingly.

Peter covered his mouth, still immersed in the fear brought by the word "Death Eater".

Sirius couldn't stand his look, and said impatiently: "Why can't you be brave, Wormtail! You really don't look like a Gryffindor."

Peter trembled, even more afraid to speak.
