058- Questioning!

As she looked around, Professor McGonagall pursed her mouth, her eyes filled with anger. She didn't expect that the people who attacked Hagrid would be so frantic in their escape that they would set the whole forbidden forest on fire...

If she was a little bit late, there would be no way to stop that fire.

As her anger subsided, Professor McGonagall knelt down to check on Hagrid's injuries.

After confirming that there were no life-threatening injuries, Professor McGonagall breathed out a sigh of relief, she waved her magic wand and started to utter a counter curse, followed by several healing spells to stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

"I can only do this much right now. You still need to go to Madam Pomfrey and rest for a while." Professor McGonagall said.

"Thank you... Okay, I feel okay... Can you go and check up on Cecilia? maybe she can be saved..." he choked out, there were still some tears on Hagrid's face.

"Cecilia? Who is that?" McGonagall questioned.

"That's the name Hagrid gave to this unicorn... It was hit by an Avada Kedavra curse in her gambit to protect Hagrid." Ivan watched for a while and noticing that Hagrid looked a little tired so he took the initiative to explain

"It's dead, Hagrid." McGonagall checked on the unicorn that was on the ground. After hearing that it was hit by an Arvada Kedavra, McGonagall shook her head weakly.

"I got her killed..." Hagrid's face crumbled as he covered his face, crying bitterly.

Seeing this, McGonagall also realized that she couldn't do anything from Hagrid at the moment, so she turned her attention to Ivan, who looked to be in pretty good shape.

"Halls! What the hell happened? How was Hagrid injured?" McGonagall asked, a unicorn was dead, Hagrid was almost hit by an Unforgivable, and the Forbidden Forest was on fire. The situation was obviously very serious...

Ivan didn't hide anything. He started explaining from when he and Harry and the others ran into an injured Fang outside Hagrid's hut, he guessed that Hagrid must have encountered an attack in the Forbidden Forest.

"In order to not waste any time, I told Harry and the others to seek help. I rode Norbert to try and help Hagrid, and that's when I saw a black-robed wizard preparing to attack Hagrid, we used the combined effort of the dragon's breath and a high-altitude dive to carry out a sneak attack. It succeeded and the opponent ran away."

Professor McGonagall pursed her mouth, although Ivan's words were very concise, she could still recreate the scene in her mind. Ivan's quick thinking to use the dragon's superiority in the air to carry out a sneak attack was quite good.

Ivan finished talking about what happened and pointed to the bush on the right that was burned to the ground.

"Professor McGonagall, the black-robed sorcerer was thrown off by Norbert, he fell into the pile of bushes over there. I think he was seriously injured, but he should still be alive."

"Are you sure?" McGonagall frowned because according to Ivan's description, after suffering from a dragon's dive and flames, it was impossible for a normal person to still be alive.

"Professor, you can also see that there is no body there. I don't think it would have burned to ashes this quickly?" Ivan shrugged. He didn't expect that even after all this Voldemort could still run away with Quirrell.

Professor McGonagall was about to nod, but then she realized something,

"Wait, who started this fire?"

"Of course, I did..." Ivan calmly explained that he was just cautious against a dark wizard who could openly use the Avada Kedavra.

Professor McGonagall looked at the forbidden forest, black smoke rising from it slowly after it was extinguished, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

'Isn't this kid a little too cautious?'

She didn't want to rebuke Ivan because the black-robed wizard was using Unforgivable and somehow managed to successfully escape from the fire, which was enough to prove the dangers of the situation.

"Professor, I feel that the other party should have suffered a serious injury, maybe he hasn't escaped far away, If you chase after him now, it might not be too late," Ivan said eagerly.

"No, the most important thing right now is to guarantee your safety. The investigation and pursuit of the criminal will have to wait until Albus arrives." Professor McGonagall shook her head without hesitation, facing an unknown enemy who was hiding in the forbidden forest, and chasing after him rashly was extremely dangerous.

Of course, she was not worried about her safety but was afraid that after she left, the black-robed wizard would come back here to hurt Ivan and Hagrid.

Ivan sighed. He also knew that with Voldemort's ability, no matter how badly he was injured, he would sneak off by the time Dumbledore arrived.

"I need to ask you about one more thing, Halls!" McGonagall's gaze turned to Norbert, who was lying lazily on the ground and asked.

"Where did this dragon come from? When I heard Hermione say that you were riding a dragon to save Hagrid, I thought they were crazy! Because Hogwarts doesn't raise dragons, and it is illegal to raise a dragon without permission from the Ministry of Magic!"

Professor McGonagall's words were aggressive, he didn't have any time to form a story, plus she was not the only one who had heard the dragon's roar. If the Ministry of Magic investigates, then the person who raised the dragon will definitely be arrested and thrown into Azkaban!

Hagrid had also recovered from the shock by this time, watching Ivan remain silent under McGonagall's questioning, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Actually this dragon was..."

"Professor Dumbledore had asked Hagrid to raise it!" Hagrid was about to admit his crime when Ivan suddenly interrupted him.

He felt that Dumbledore had allowed Quirrell to roam around for so long, so he should carry some of the blame, otherwise, Professor McGonagall would be inclined to report Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic.

"Albus?" Professor McGonagall's aggressive tone calmed down, she still couldn't believe it.

"It was indeed me, Minerva."

Dumbledore's voice came from the other end of the Forbidden Forest, followed by his iconic silver-white beard. Dumbledore came into their sight surveying the damage.

Ivan, who was throwing the blame onto him, was caught on the spot, he felt a little bit embarrassed. Fortunately, Dumbledore hadn't exposed them but instead helped them round out the lie.

"How could you ask Hagrid to do this? What if the Ministry of Magic came to inspect? What would we say?" Professor McGonagall frowned.

"I'll explain the specific reason later. As for now, I want to know what happened here." Dumbledore looked at Hagrid.

Hagrid had regained some of his energy, so he started telling the whole story...
