"Of course, Larry, please go ahead."
So Levin returned to the lakeside and sent Larry, a unicorn, back to the island.
These little guys, who haven't molted yet and are still golden, bounced and hopped out from behind the archway when they saw their sister return.
Levin saw from afar that Larry rubbed against them and then said something to them.
Immediately afterwards, the little unicorns returned to their nest and then ran happily toward Levin.
Larry followed behind them.
Levin noticed that they had strings of bright red or bluish-green things in their mouths, which looked somewhat like berries.
They blinked their big, bright, watery eyes and nimbly circled around Levin, shaking their heads as if trying to place the berries on the ground in front of him.
“No, you can’t,” Larry’s voice rang out at the right moment. “Wizards are different from us; they don’t like things that fall on the ground.”
So Levin reached out his hand.
The little unicorn placed berries into his hand one by one.
Larry stepped forward, tilted her head towards the berries, and said with a hint of pride, "These are gifts from the little ones to our guests. They just picked them, and they're very juicy."
Levin obligingly popped a berry into his mouth and commented, "Sweet and delicious, plump and juicy... Hmm, these are indeed wonderful fruits. Thank you, little ones."
0???????
Of course, there is some exaggeration involved.
These berries do taste good, but they are, after all, wild varieties, and are slightly sour and astringent compared to truly cultivated berries.
But the little unicorn's intentions are more important, aren't they?
Next, Levin played with the baby unicorns in the nest.
The little ones also really liked this little wizard who exuded a natural charm.
So Levin gained the right to pet them however he wanted.
Looking at the fluffy foals surrounding him, Levin began to understand the joy many people find in keeping pets.
Before leaving, Larry led him to a corner of the lair.
Here was a hole formed by a dry tree stump, and inside the hole, Levin saw a treasure that would drive any potion master or alchemist mad:
Seven or eight broken unicorn horns, averaging 20 centimeters in length, a large bundle of unicorn tail hair, and gold and silver unicorn down that almost filled the entire tree stump.
“My parents told me that you humans really like these things, so we deliberately collect these shed horns and hairs, and occasionally leave a bit for the forest rangers here as a token of our gratitude.”
Larry said seriously, "Because Lord Levin is a wizard, these things should be useful to Lord Levin."
"Lord Levin saved my life and is also a friend, so you can take anything here if you need it."
"Really...really?"
Looking at the pile of tree stump materials in front of him, Levin was truly moved.
If you were to sell these things, you could probably get at least tens of thousands of Galleons.
The value of these complete unicorn horns alone is immeasurable.
Perhaps these unicorns are naive and don't understand the value of these things.
However, Levin wasn't too greedy; he only took one horn, a small bundle of tail hair, and a large handful of downy fur.
Under Larry's questioning gaze, he smiled and said, "You said it yourself, we're friends, so what's the difference between having these things with you and with me? If I need them, I can just come and ask you for them. You won't refuse my visit, right?"
“Of course,” Larry said happily, “Lord Levin can come anytime!”
Besides Larry, the little unicorns also had farewell gifts: berries and mushrooms, as usual. One of the little ones even took a bite of the freshest, juiciest grass and spat it into Levin's hand, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Finally, when Levin left the unicorn's lair, he looked somewhat disheveled.
His clothes were all wrinkled and covered in grass and dirt, making him look remarkably like Professor Pomona Sprout, who taught herbal medicine.
Larry carried Levin all the way.
When she carried Levin to the creek where she had previously fought Voldemort, Levin grabbed her mane.
"Be careful, someone is coming."
The unicorn stopped in its tracks.
Soon, the sound of other horses' hooves came from afar.
Compared to the sound of Larry's hooves, this sound was much rougher.
The newcomer was much taller than Larry. He had four hooves, a pale gold body from the waist down, and a handsome male upper body with strikingly blue eyes and shimmering white-gold hair, making him appear exceptionally dashing.
It's a centaur.
The image shows a unicorn's lair, referenced from The Remnants of Hogwarts.

Chapter 66 The Centaur's Invitation
"This unicorn..."
The centaur looked quite surprised when he saw Larry between Levin's legs.
Is it alright now?
“I’m alright now, Mr. Centaur. Lord Levin saved me,” Larry replied.
However, to the centaur's ears, these words were merely whimpering sounds.
However, he could probably sense what the other person meant, so he looked at Levin:
"So, you saved this unicorn, didn't you, little pony?"
"A little pony? Me?"
Levin was somewhat speechless at the term "centaur," but he nodded nonetheless.
“Yes, Mr. Centaur, I encountered men in black robes attacking Larry while I was exploring the Forbidden Forest, so…”
He explained the general situation to the other party.
Although Hagrid is nominally the manager of the hunting grounds, he does not actually control the entire force managing the Forbidden Forest.
The centaur tribes within the Forbidden Forest are also among its protectors.
This is something that every headmaster of Hogwarts has been aware of.
Levin was always very polite to such friendly people.
"Lari...is this the name you gave her?"
The centaur looked at the unicorn, then at Levin on her back, and nodded seriously, saying, "It seems that Larry really approves of you and likes you. If it were an ordinary male wizard, she wouldn't let them ride her at all."
Levin smiled and said, "Yes, I am very grateful for this friendship."
The centaur greatly admired Levin's attitude.
"Indeed, you are a very special little pony. It seems I have found the right person."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Levin and said solemnly:
“My name is Ferenze. I am here because I am guided by the stars. According to the stars, there is something here that is very important to our destiny.”
So he was Ferencze.
Levin suddenly realized,
Ferenze was a rather handsome centaur and a friendly centaur towards wizards.
In the original story, he even temporarily took over as the new divination professor after Trelawney was dismissed, and was loved by many girls.
Of course, he also paid a price for this, suffering rejection from his tribe and only returning to the tribe at the very end.
In short, he's a trustworthy guy.
"Fate, you mean Harry Potter?"
Levin was a little confused.
"Harry should be taken out of the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid by now."
"No,"
Ferenc shook his head.
“That colt has its own destiny, and the destiny related to the horseman is right in front of me.”
You mean...me?
Hearing this, Cai Wen was quite surprised.
When did he get involved with centaurs again?
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar again.
Two other centaurs burst out of the bushes, their bellies heaving violently, drenched in sweat.
"Ference, what are you doing here?"
One of them asked a question loudly from a distance.
"Shouldn't you be searching for that dangerous wizard and protecting the remaining unicorn?"
"The disaster has been driven away, and hope has been preserved."
Ferenc said in a dreamlike tone,
“The stars have long since changed, and I have come here to seek the one destined for me.”
At this moment, the two new horses finally saw Levin and Larry.
"Oh, a human foal riding a unicorn."
The centaur's voice immediately dropped thirty decibels, but he was still somewhat unconvinced:
"So, this is the chosen one you were talking about?"
“You can take a closer look, Bain.”
Ferenc said softly:
