Chapter 7 Halloween Chapter Party

"Luminescence." George lit a ball of light on his wand instead of a light, and Fred said to him, "What do you think it could be? A mountain monster from Thad? I can't think of anything scarier than that." gone."

The three of them were advancing towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Fred purposely landed behind Eredines, and then jumped out suddenly, hoping to scare her. Eredins straightened her face, her expression more serious than ever before.

"I was joking... oh, I didn't think you'd be angry," said Fred awkwardly.

Eridins made a hissing motion: "It smells of blood." Then she took out her wand and cast a silent blow on everyone.

Both Fred and George looked serious, and they took out their wands and held them in their hands.

The three continued to walk forward cautiously, and after climbing a small hill, a small clearing in the forest appeared in front of them.

A snow-white unicorn fell to the ground, unobstructed by leaves and branches, and the silvery moonlight poured unhindered on the open space—the silver-white blood dripping from the unicorn's neck glistened under the moonlight.

"...a unicorn... what would kill it?" George was saying to whom.

"Maybe it's those eight-legged monsters?" Fred frowned. "...It's too miserable."

"Let's go - Hagrid will... Eridings when he's patrolling the woods tomorrow!" George suddenly yelled, as Eridings, who was supposed to be beside them, was walking towards the dead unicorn step by step. go.

The two slid down the hillside and quickly chased after Eridins. George said, "It's too dangerous. You shouldn't have left us."

Aridins crouched down beside the dead unicorn, examining its body.

"What did you find?" Fred asked.

"The unicorn died three or ten minutes ago." Eredins stood up.

"How did you find out?" George and Fred showed surprised expressions.

"Temperature, muscle stiffness."

"Merlin, that's amazing," Fred whispered.

George shrugged: "Give these to Hagrid, all we have to do now is send you back to Slytherin."

Eridins nodded, and returned to the castle with the two of them along the way they came.

The next day, the twins seemed to have forgotten what happened last night, but Eridins was still thinking about what happened in the Forbidden Forest. She didn't tell the two of them everything she knew——Fred and George's fear of chaos, Eridins thought it was better for them to keep it in the dark for the sake of their personal safety—the unicorn didn't just die. Before it died, it lost Lots of blood.

In all the books Eridins has read, unicorns are described as incarnations of purity, they are very friendly to humans, the sharp horns of unicorns can cure all kinds of poisons, and the powder they swallow can resist diseases. All poisons are invulnerable, but there are very few examples of humans capturing unicorns, because this kind of creature has strong magic power.

Eridins didn't know what the big spider George was talking about looked like, but she didn't think there was any spider that could defeat a unicorn in a short time, and she couldn't think of any spider that had the habit of drinking blood instead of meat.

The blood of the unicorn is the key to this puzzle. Few books introduce the blood of the unicorn, but Eridins happened to read it in a worn-out book about magical creatures.

Blood from a healthy and lively unicorn can keep a person alive, even if the person is dying.But few people do this, because the punishment for killing a unicorn is severe. Although the person who drinks the blood of the unicorn saves his life, he gets a cursed, half-dead life for the rest of his life.

A thing that would rather kill unicorns to become neither human nor ghost is lurking in Hogwarts - said to be the safest place in the world except Gringotts. Tell someone, there was no one she could trust at Hogwarts.

It wasn't long after the unicorn incident that Eridins had her first Halloween outside Selwyn's secret room.

On Halloween night, the restaurant was colorfully decorated, pumpkins with grimaces were everywhere, and there were many bats flapping their wings on the ceiling. Everyone was much more excited than usual. It didn’t seem right to have a quiet dinner. Perhaps, just as Eridins was about to leave the table early, Quirrell, who had not been in the teacher's seat from the beginning, broke open the door of the restaurant and stumbled in.

"Trolls—there are trolls—in the dungeons—"

It was difficult for Eridings to feel any fear of the stupid and powerful troll, but the others didn't seem to be like this. Eridings looked up at Malfoy, and found that his eyes were wide open, his jaw dropped, An overly frightened fool.

Dumbledore asked the prefects to lead their students back to the dormitory. Eridins walked at the end of the Slytherin team. When she looked back, she found that Quirrell, who had fainted on the ground, had disappeared. Who moved him? ?

Due to the death of the unicorn a few days ago, Eridins felt that the troll that suddenly appeared was suspicious no matter what she thought. Could it be that Hogwarts has become a public toilet? Anything can appear casually, let alone lurking in the The weirdos in the Forbidden Forest, even the giant monsters can come and get their feet in.

There must be a connection between the two that Eridins hadn't discovered, and the troll's IQ couldn't possibly prevent anyone from appearing at Hogwarts unless someone channeled it.

The next day, Eridence learned that Potter and Weasley of Gryffindor had defeated the troll, which was not good news, at least not for Malfoy, who had been watching him all day long. Furious.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Eridins came to Snape's office for labor service. After knocking on the door, Snape's voice came from the office after a while: "Come in."

Eridings walked into the office and saw Snape sitting in his place as usual, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, Eridings felt that Snape's face was even uglier than usual.Several materials were placed in a mess on the table of the experimental bench in the corner, and the crucible on the side was still smoking. It looked like it was still working until just now.

After getting closer to Snape, Eridings smelled a faint smell of blood. For some reason, Eridings was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, and it was the same in the Forbidden Forest last time.

"Your task today is to make a slowing potion," Snape said.

This was for the third grade, and Eridins looked at him uncertainly.

"Do you have any questions?" Snape looked at her with a sneer.

Eridins shook her head, then walked to the lab bench.

Her own self-study has reached the third grade. Although she has never actually made it, a bottle of deceleration potion should not be a problem. This is not the most difficult of all the potions in the third grade.

According to the steps in the book, Aridins completed a pot of deceleration potion in only 10 minutes. It was green and in good condition, and the effect can be expected.

After filling the potion, Aridins didn't show it to Snape for examination immediately. She thought about it, and started to work on the laboratory table again.

After a while, Eridins filled another pot of potion, and with these two bottles of potion, Eridins handed it to Snape.

"I probably didn't agree with you to make other potions." Snape looked away from his Potions homework, glanced at the two bottles of potions, and said coldly.

"Bee, honeycomb shell, agave..." Eridins wrote six ingredients in another potion in the air: "Quick healing potion, I thought you needed this."

Snape's expression became very menacing in an instant, and he said sullenly, "Selwyn, don't worry about your business."

He opened the bottle cap of the deceleration potion and smelled it, poured out a little more to observe, then closed the bottle and put it back.

"You've finished your labor service for today, you can go!" said Snape.

Eridins didn't know if Snape used her potion afterwards, but she made extra healing potions for the next few days of labor service, and Snape also turned a blind eye from the initial reprimand to the latter , until the end of the labor service on the third day, Snape said to Eridins with a straight face: "You can stop wasting my materials."

The smell of blood on his body had indeed disappeared, and Eridins did not make any more healing potions.

After this incident, Eridins felt that Snape had slightly changed his attitude towards her and was less aggressive, which was a good thing.

As for why Snape was suddenly injured, although the person involved never mentioned it, she still had some guesses of her own: Snape concealed his injury from everyone, obviously because the reason could not be known to outsiders, and on the day of the Halloween party In the Potions class, Snape didn’t smell of blood yet, which means that Snape’s injury time was after the potions class on Halloween and before the labor service the next day, and the most likely period during this period was Halloween The troll invaded that night, but the troll was defeated by Potter and Weasley of Gryffindor, so what happened to Snape because of his injury?

Eridins is certain that something unusual is happening at Hogwarts - the death of a unicorn, a troll that appears out of nowhere, Snape's mysterious injury, she's got a lot of clues, but she's one more thread away Connect them in series.

After November, there will be the Quidditch season. Eridins is probably the last person to know the news. She has no interest in brooms. On the day of the game, she didn't join the crowd. After spending a day in the museum, she later learned that Potter in Gryffindor almost fell off his broom, and Snape's robes were inexplicably caught on fire. Putting aside these small episodes, the final result was that Potter caught the Snitch, Gryffindor had won.

During the Christmas holiday in December, Eridings thought she would stay in school, but Arnold explicitly asked her to go home during the holiday, so Eridings boarded the express train home the day before the holiday.

This time, Arnold was the only one who came to pick up Eridins at the station. He was wearing a long black coat, with a slender figure, standing gracefully and solemnly on the platform, attracting a lot of attention from passers-by.

"If you come out one minute later, you'll just wait to spend the night at the station." Arnold said impatiently, "Grab my arm, we'll go over there, I hope Anna is ready for me." coffee."

Eridins grabbed his arm, and then felt a space distortion. A moment later, they appeared at the gate of Selwyn Manor.

"Pack your bags and come to the restaurant for dinner," Arnold said.
