From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

The Forbidden Forest seems to be often shrouded in a layer of mist, blocking the sight of those within it.

As Professor Kettleburn and Sivan went deeper, the surroundings became darker and darker, and it seemed that an oil lamp was not enough to provide enough light for the two of them.

"Lumos Maxima." Sivan raised his wand and said.

A bright light emanated from the tip of Xiwen's wand, dispelling the surrounding darkness. Xiwen was also able to see the scene in the Forbidden Forest.

Trees that are so thick that two people need to hug each other stand around. From the ground, you can't see the top at all. Only the overlapping branches and leaves block the sky. The color of the tree trunks is very dark, even after midsummer.

There are not many leaves to be seen, and there are many bare and strange-shaped branches that overlap together, giving people a somewhat eerie feeling.

The soil on the ground is overall gray. The soil does not appear to be wet. It remains strangely dry in the diffuse mist. You can feel the solid and hard texture when you step on it, so your shoes will not be stained with mud.

"Dark the wand a little," Professor Kettleburn said. "Too strong light will irritate the little creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Otherwise, why do you think I don't change to a brighter light?"

"Oh, okay, so that's it." Xiwen nodded and put on the ordinary version of the wand lighting spell.

The professor took Xiwen on a path that was obviously created by walking for a long time. From time to time, he pointed at the small animals passing by and told him about the habits of the creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

The small animals seemed to be very familiar with Professor Kettleburn and were not afraid of his approach. Occasionally, a jumping hare or a lithe elk would walk up to the two of them and look at Xiwen's unfamiliar face curiously.

.

"Professor, why does the Forbidden Forest need to be patrolled every day?" Xiwen asked curiously.

"Actually, the original intention of setting up the position of Forbidden Forest Administrator at Hogwarts was to prevent foreign enemies from sneaking into the school through the Forbidden Forest, so inspections need to be carried out every day." Professor Kettleburn said with a smile. "Today's Forbidden Forest is already very difficult.

It has penetrated, after all, few people can get along with just the horse people."

"However, the habit of daily inspections was still retained. Later, most of the administrators of the Forbidden Forest were people who loved magical animals, and they regarded inspections of the Forbidden Forest as a way to deal with magical animals. Because of this incident,

We all enjoy it.”

"It's great to have a hobby like this!" Xiwen nodded in admiration and exclaimed. "So what magical animals are there in the Forbidden Forest?"

"There are so many," the professor said intoxicatedly. "Thestrals, unicorns, hippogriffs..."

At this time, a beautiful creature emitting silver light emerged from the bushes in front of them and appeared in front of the two of them. Her hair was pure silver, and she looked like an elegant and noble pony, except that she had a long hair on her head.

It has a long spiral horn.

"Aha, you are really lucky!" Professor Kettleburn said to Sivan excitedly. "You can see a sacred unicorn with your own eyes when you enter the Forbidden Forest for the first time."

"When a unicorn is born, it is all golden. It will gradually turn to silver until it is about two years old. It will grow a unicorn full of magic when it is four years old. It will not become an adult unicorn until it is seven years old.

Unique holy white." He then introduced the beautiful magical animal unicorn. "Look at the unicorn in front of you. The hair on its body is still silver, but its horn has been well developed, so

Said to be a young unicorn between four and seven years old."

Xiwen was amazed at the beauty of the unicorn and walked forward cautiously, wanting to see her up close.

"Although I don't want to offend you, I still have to tell you that unicorns are more willing to trust pure girls than men." Professor Kettleburn said after seeing Sivan's actions.

However, to their surprise, the unicorn did not reject Xiwen's approach. Instead, she raised her silver-white hooves and quietly took a step towards Xiwen.

She put her head in front of Xiwen and gently rubbed the wand in Xiwen's hand.

The kitten on Xiwen's shoulder seemed to be a little curious about the unicorn. It jumped onto her back with a "swish" and lay contentedly on the silvery mane on the back of the unicorn's neck.

"Come back quickly, don't be naughty!" Xiwen's face darkened instantly, and he quickly wanted to take the naughty kitten back.

Professor Kettleburn smiled knowingly when he saw this scene and said: "Don't worry, as long as the unicorn doesn't stop it, it means it recognizes your cat. Maybe the two of them will get along very well!"

When Xiwen heard this, he looked at the unicorn. Her head was still attached to Xiwen's wand, and her expression showed a trace of nostalgia.

"Professor, why does she always have a soft spot for my wand?" Xiwen asked curiously.

Seeing this, the professor's face became serious and asked: "This does not usually happen. Even a wand with unicorn tail hair as the core will not get the extra closeness of the unicorn. So what is your wand?

Material?"

"Unicorn horn nerve..." Xiwen looked at the straight pine wand in his hand and murmured.

"No wonder..." Professor Kettleburn sighed and nodded. "I still have the impression that an evil dark wizard attacked a unicorn in Galloway Forest a few years ago. That unicorn had just

Not long after she gave birth, she was physically weak. In order to protect her cubs, she was brutally killed by the dark wizard."

"When the people from the Ministry of Magic discovered it, only her blood-drained body and the intact unicorn cub protected in the grass nearby were left." The professor wiped his eyes sadly and narrated in a low voice. "Then.

The cub should be the one in front of me. She has a name, Sisili. The people from the Department for the Care of Magical Creatures sent her to the Forbidden Forest for me to take care of, but she has disappeared since she gained the ability to move.

I thought she left..."

"So is she here for this?" Xiwen opened his palm, and a straight, slender, 14-inch pine wand carved with complex textures lay across his palm.

"Take it if you want. This is the core of the staff from your mother." Xiwen was a little reluctant to part with it, but finally said.

Sisili glanced at the wand in his hand with nostalgia, but did not take it away. She just used her head to arch Xiwen's open right hand toward his body, as if to signal Xiwen to take it back.

"The wand has chosen you, which means that Sisili's mother has approved you." Professor Kettleburn said with emotion from the side. "Take it, this wand belongs to you."

Xiwen also breathed a sigh of relief, held the wand in his hand, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to rub Sisili's smooth neck, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if one day in the future I see the dark wizard who hurt your mother,

, I will definitely help her get revenge!"
