30 Chapter 26)Unicorn

Approaching the unicorns, one noticed us and went in our direction. Coming closer, he spoke in an ancient old voice.

"Human child, no, wrong. Descendants of the druids, what are you doing in our area?" the unicorn said and kicked the ground. Grass began to grow under the hoof and holy magical energy was flowing from the ground in that place.

"We came here to ask for your help," I replied and released my magical energy. There were records in the books that ancient beings could find out by magical energy whether a person was lying or not.

"Hmm, you're not telling the whole truth, descendant of the druids, but I'll accept it. Tell me what our help is needed.The unicorn replied and narrowed his eyes.

Then Daphne came out and said.

"Our sister is cursed by an ancient blood curse and we need the ingredients for a ritual to remove the curse."she said in a humble voice.

"So you, like other wizards, want our blood and hair. Hmm, get out of here, descendants of the druids, I will not allow the blood of unicorns to pour out." said the unicorn and wanted to turn around and leave.

I used magical energy and tree roots appeared in front of the unicorn, preventing it from passing further.

"Hmm, do you want to get blood by the power of the descendants of the druids?"said the unicorn and released his magical energy. Damn, she's plentiful and strong, I'd say at Hagrid's level.

Preventing Daphne from starting to act too, I say, "If you don't want to give blood just like that, then fine. I'm willing to buy it from you for information."

""And what information can you offer us, little descendant of the druids?" the unicorn said and slightly weakened his magical energy .

"You know that your blood is not only rich in magical energy and useful in rituals, but it can also support the soul in this world," I said.

"Yes, I know, but the body cannot cope with our blood and therefore a person will die anyway," he said.

"True, the body will die, but the soul will not, and you probably don't know, but You-Know-Who is not dead and still walks around the world in spiritual form." I say to the unicorn, who immediately thought.

"You mean that he will take over someone's body and use it to maintain his soul."the unicorn immediately guessed and looked at me with understanding in his eyes.

"Give us your blood and hair and I can tell you who you should be wary of." I said looking into his eyes.

He thought and stood in silence, I was also silent and waited for his decision. After a few minutes, he said. "Fine, I swear by my blood that if you tell me the truth and the name of the man that this dead man has taken over, and I will give you my hair and blood.

"I swear by my magic that I will tell the truth to the unicorn standing in front of me and will not use his blood for evil." I also used the oath. He looked at me from a distance and I told him all about Quirrell .

After a short conversation, I take out a bottle and a bag from my bag. I also took out a knife and prepared to take what I needed.

"You can take the hair from my tail and mane, but I'll spill the blood myself, just put the bottle under my hooves." nodding my head at him, I cut off some hair from the mane and tail and lift the bottle to the hoof.

The unicorn used his magic and inflicted a wound and golden blood began to flow from it. I quickly started collecting it into a bottle. After a while, the wound healed by itself and I had a full bottle of the elder unicorn's blood. I can say that this blood is at least 50 times better than the one I used for the awakening ritual.

I can already imagine that next year, I will be able to remove the curse of Astoria and even have blood left for other rituals and potions.

"Descendant of the druids, the deal is over and you can leave. And also don't let others know about this deal for your own good. "

"Don't worry, I've already thought everything out and those three won't even remember what we did here." I said I'm sure.

"Great, then I'll say goodbye to you."

Nodding to Daphne to start the spell, I also immediately began to add it.

Going to our companions, I said, "We can go back, we're done here."

They nodded and we went back to Hogwarts, half way Daphne successfully cast spells and the three again stopped for a few seconds and lost focus in their eyes, After that they woke up and we continued on our way.

We have collected various plants and roots useful for various potions or which are just very valuable.

Coming out of the forest and reaching the lake, we saw how several professors quickly ran out of Hogwarts and flew into the forest. I can tell by the expression on their faces, they were very worried and serious.

Entering the common room, I said. "You have paid your debt and I hope you will not tell anyone about what happened in the forest."

They nodded, but I was sure that by tomorrow morning they would forget that I had received blood and hair anyway. And all they will remember is for sure they went with us to the forest to collect some valuable herbs.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Daphne asked me.

"Yes, I'm sure they paid off the debt and only lost a little memory. In the long run, they will not suffer and their magical potential will not decrease, and all thanks to you." I told Daphne.

"What about the blood, are you sure you can lift the curse?" she asked anxiously.

I shook my head and said."I am sure that I will be able to remove the curse from her next year, but it will take this whole year of studies and calculations, also I am not sure that the curse will be removed from our kind, only from Astoria."

She nodded her head and we went to our rooms .

After taking a shower, I lay down in my bed and replaying our entire journey in my head and realized that I was taking a big risk anyway. I have to get stronger and come up with a better plan next time. With such thoughts, I fell asleep.
