"W-we should help it?" Neville stuttered out, squeezing the flashlight in his hands tightly.
I shook my head, "There's nothing we can do and if we go there carelessly it will leave us exposed."
"So, we're just going to watch it die?" the Gryffindor boy asked with a horrified face.
Placing a frown on my face I kept my eyes on the unicorn, "I don't like anymore than you. The poor thing has been on the run since last night. It's probably scary and in pain."
"Isn't that more reason for us to help it?" Draco said with a bit of bite.
"At this point, the only help we could give it is a painless death," I snapped at him. Hearing a rustle to my other side I was just in time to see the end of Neville's robes disappear, "Neville! Come back here! Nev-oh forget it. Of all the times for him to suddenly get brave."
Leaving the safety of the bushes we rushed after the foolish boy.
I made it just as he was about to touch it, pulling his hand back and turning him around, "What do you think you're doing!?"
His eyes widened in honest fright as he looked up at me, "I-I'm sorry."
I stared at him for several seconds before sighing and letting go of his hand, "I suppose there's no use yelling at you now." Looking at the injured unicorn I checked its health using [Observe].
[Unicorn LV 130
HP: 323/ 50,000
MP: 0/500
Statue: (Cursed) (Poisoned) (Bleeding) ]
"Seeing as we're already here, we might as well help it." Reaching into my hat I took out three pairs of rubber gloves and three disposable face masks. "Here, but these on," I told them putting my own on.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Unicorn blood is said to curse those who's lips touch it, it's better to not take any chances," I told them, hand them over.
The unicorn jerked its head violently as I bent down to inspect its wounds. That was to be expected as my [Overlord] title caused light creatures to be wary of me.
"This isn't good," I told them, tracing a slash on its side with my gloved finger.
Both boys stood behind me, peaking over my shoulder, "What is it?"
"It's as I feared, this was gone by a wizard," I explained.
"How can you possibly know that?"
Pointing to a patch of skin I directed their attention to the shape of the wounds, "This cut is too neat to be done by an animal. This other one here looks like it came from a blasting charm judging by the size of the bruising."
"How do you know all of this?" Neville asked curiously.
"I've been researching spells ever since Halloween to better defend myself. Neville can you point your light on this part," I directed.
"If you're so smart, don't you know any healing spells?"
Looking at him I knitted my eyebrows, "Of course I do, but damage caused by dark curses is extremely hard to heal even by professional medi-witches and that's only with the knowledge of the spells used. I count at least 5 that I recognize and 7 that I don't."
"So that's it, there's no hope," Neville said looking to be on the verge of tears.
Draco looked angry for some reason as he kicked a pebble with his foot.
"…Actually, there still might be a chance," I told them reluctantly.
"Well what is it?" the blonde Slytherin demanded.
I reached into my top hat and I took out a small red box whose entire surface was covered in numerous locks and chains.
"What's that?"
"I liked to be prepared so I made this in case I was ever injured and in serious danger. It contains… well you'll see in a second."
Snapping my fingers, the locks and chains on the box unraveled and disappeared into hidden compartments. Opening the lid, I revealed a set of eight healing potions divided into two rows of four. Sticking to the top of the lid were three smaller beakers filled with Life Nectar.
Grabbing one of the beakers, I removed the cork and moved next to the unicorn's head, making sure to keep an eye on that horn. Looking at the two boys, I explained, "If we're to save it, we must first get rid of the poison in its body, this will help with that. Can one of you hold its head steady, I don't feel like getting skewered by that horn today."
"I will do it!" Neville volunteered as he moved behind the horse.
Using one of my hands to pry its mouth open I tipped the contents of the beaker inside, then checked its status to make sure that the [Poisoned] effect had disappeared.
"Looks like it worked," I said, letting out a sigh of relief. Turning back to the box I took out a health potion this time and plastered a worried expression on my face, "Now for the hard part." I tilted the unicorn's head and dumbed the potion down int's throat, massaging its throat to make sure it was swallowing the potion.
It gave a cry of protest as it tried to jerk away, but it was useless as I had a very firm grip on its horn.
We didn't have to wait long as the effect of the potion made itself known instantly, the wounds on its side giving off some steam and before shrinking down by fraction.
"Holy hell, that actually worked," I said with surprise.
"You mean you weren't sure," Draco yelled at me.
"I've only ever tested this potion on myself and some injured birds, so I wasn't sure what kind of effects it would have on a magical creature. But hey, it's not like it could have gotten any worse," I snapped back. Grapping another potion I repeated the process, the unicorn struggling a lot less this time now that it knew we were here to help.
