Chapter 237 With the Unicorn
"Professor Hamilton, will this really help the unicorn?"
"It should be—probably—"
Seeing the worried look in Haigna's eyes, Loila could only offer an uncertain answer, after all, these were the words of Mr. Parkinson's.
Mr. Parkinson's should be quite reliable, right?
Although it seemed he cared more about autographs and such—wait, Loila suddenly remembered something.
Is Mr. Parkinson's sister the same person as Ms. Parkinson?
That's the guy who bought his own blood at an auction and then treasured it—oh dear!
I should have known better than to agree to Mr. Parkinson's autograph request—I wonder if that autographed book will also be treasured? The thought of her ugly handwriting being displayed in a showcase made Loira feel ashamed, and she even walked unsteadily.
"Professor Hamilton, are you alright?" Hagrid was startled when he saw Loila almost trip over.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Loila quickly shook her head. She couldn't show weakness at a time like this! It would be terrible if Hagrid also thought she was unreliable.
Loila pursed her lips, hugged the Space Extension Book in her arms tightly, and then carefully stepped over the twisted tree trunk.
She had told Hagrid everything she had discussed with Mr. Parkinson, and Hagrid was excited to save the magical creatures, but he shared the same idea as Royla.
That is, how to become the owner of a unicorn.
"If it were me, I wouldn't want anyone to become my master."
Hagrid's answer was a bit odd, but it was the truth.
Loila didn't want to suddenly declare herself the unicorn's owner—it would be very impolite, especially to the unicorn who had helped her many times.
So Loila and Hagrid both agreed that they should ask the unicorn about this—but how should they ask?
Unicorns can understand wizards, but wizards can't understand unicorns.
Fortunately, Loila is a magic array expert, and just recently, she was creating a new magic array tool, a new complex magic array composed of an energy storage magic array, a connecting magic array, a transmission magic array, and a memory magic array.
This magic circle allows two people wearing the necklace to communicate at any time from a great distance—it was originally made by Loila for Mr. Lupin.
After all, Mr. Lupin is still searching for Mr. P.'s secret chamber in the plains and mountains of Germany, making communication very inconvenient.
But before I could send it to Mr. Lupin, Loila needed it.
Mr. Lupin shouldn't mind that the necklace he received had unicorn hair on it, right?
Loila pursed her lips nervously. Besides, whether the unicorn could even use this magic array item was still unknown.
This necklace essentially conveys one's current thoughts to others. Wouldn't it be awkward if the unicorn thought of something impolite? — Or wouldn't it be awkward if the unicorn thought of something it couldn't even understand? —
No, no, no—don't think so much. I'm doing all this to help the unicorn Loila. She shook her head to stop overthinking, although she realized she couldn't do it at all. Every time she got nervous, she would start overthinking.
"We've arrived."
Hagrid suddenly stopped in front of her, and Loila almost bumped into his butt again. Fortunately, she reacted quickly this time and stopped in time.
She peeked out from behind Hagrid and saw the group of unicorns drinking in the pool.
Seemingly because they were already familiar with her and Hagrid, the unicorns only slightly raised their heads to look after hearing the noise, and then continued to drink water on their own.
"Hmm—" After a few glances, Loila recognized the unicorn with which she had a special connection—
It also seemed to be sizing up Loila and Hagrid.
Why do I feel like a heartless man? I only come to see it when I have something to do. — A strange sense of guilt suddenly arose in Loila.
"Shall we begin, Professor Hamilton?" Hagrid said, taking a deep breath. "Should I excuse myself?"
"No, don't do this!" Loila quickly grabbed Hagrid's sleeve. You're so nervous, but don't you think I'm nervous too?
"Don't leave me alone!" Loila looked at Hagrid with pleading eyes.
Under Loila's watchful eye, Hagrid finally nodded and sat down on a huge fallen tree trunk.
"call----"
Looking at the unicorn, Loila let out a soft breath and slowly approached. It has to be said that she was actually not very nervous when facing the unicorn.
It's probably because unicorns can't talk, right?
Or perhaps it's because it's not human?
If a large group of people were lying here drinking water—
"Hmm."
Loila suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, a sound that startled both Hagrid and the unicorn.
"Ah—sorry." Loila muttered, suppressing her laughter, then slowly walked to the unicorn with the necklace in her hand.
"————" The unicorn didn't know what she wanted to do, but it walked up affectionately and nuzzled Loila with its head, then looked at the necklace on Loila's hand with its beautiful eyes.
"We're going to do a little experiment," Loila said softly. "Then I need to ask you some questions—"
When asked certain questions, the unicorn clearly sensed something, snorted, and seemed quite unhappy.
"That wasn't your fault—you were just trying to protect yourself." Loila reached out and gently comforted the unicorn, whispering, "And you only slightly injured him."
"9
"They didn't even kill him or anything —"
In some ways, the unicorn is actually much gentler than Roy—after all, Roy has considered using the Cruciatus Curse on his students more than once.
With Loila's comforting words, the unicorn seemed to calm down considerably, giving Loila the opportunity to gently place the necklace around its neck.
As the unicorn donned the necklace, Loila gently flicked her wand.
Her butterbeer cork necklace emitted a faint blue light.
Now I should be able to convey my thoughts to the unicorn—if my magic array items are working properly—
"?!"
As Loila was thinking this, the unicorn visibly took a few steps back, seemingly confused and unsure of what had happened.
"You heard my voice—" Loila thought to herself—"The necklace just now lets you know what I'm thinking—"
Can you really hear me?
Loila looked at the dazed unicorn and couldn't help but ask.
'
The unicorn was silent for a few seconds, then lowered its head slightly and nuzzled Loila.
It heard it!
I succeeded!
Loila suppressed her joy at jumping up in celebration and quickly focused her attention on important matters.
She mentally recounted what Mr. Parkinson had said to the unicorn, and although it was a bit complicated, Loila remembered everything he had said.
Of course, she didn't tell anyone about the autograph.
After listening to Loila's words, the unicorn fell silent, its head bowed as if deep in thought. But soon, it raised its head and nuzzled Loila.
What does this mean—did it agree?
Loila pursed her lips and thought for a few seconds, then raised her wand and gently aimed it at the unicorn necklace.
"Buzz".
The necklace emitted a blue light, and at the same time, a voice rang in Loila's head.
"Of course I'd like to."
Hey?
Wait a minute—so you're a male unicorn?!
