Chapter 45: After Battle

Watching the burning forest, Arthur felt a headache.

'How to put out the fire?'

After thinking for a while, Arthur drank a bottle of Wiggenweld Potion to fill his energy.

Then he did his best to squeeze his magic into his wand and raised it high into the sky.

"Pluet Eam"

[This was made up]

As the spell was released, a group of clouds appeared in the sky and continued expanding it.

Soon, it began to rain, and it showed no sign of stopping.

Arthur did not stop there but used the water falling on the ground from the rain to cast several freezing spells, finally stopping the fire continuously.

"Arthur! Arthur! Where are you?"

Harry's voice came not far away. Arthur shot another magic firework into the sky to guide Harry.

Soon, Harry and Hagrid's group appeared in front of him.

"Are you okay, Arthur? How did the fire start here?" Harry asked with concern, looking at the fire in front of him and the dead python and two motionless tree people next to it.

"I'm fine. I ran into the wizard who attacked the unicorn and had a fight with him," Arthur replied.

"Did you cause all of this in your fight?" Harry asked, swallowing nervously.

'Did their fight really cause this much destruction? He and Hagrid had seen the high flames and heard the cry of a bird from far away.'

"Most of it was caused by me. That wizard used nothing but the Killing Curse."

"The Killing Curse!" Hagrid's voice came in a fearful tone, becoming both high-pitched and shaky.

"Merlin! You actually fought a dark wizard using the Killing Curse! No, I have to tell Dumbledore."

Arthur shook his head helplessly.

'How could someone as big as Hagrid be so scared?'

Harry, next to him also fell silent. He knew about the Killing Curse, the curse that killed his parents and left a scar on his forehead.

He was all too aware of the horror of that curse.

And yet here was Arthur, a first-year student just like him, having fought against that dangerous curse and obviously coming out victorious.

This made Harry wonder if he really was good enough.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore here. There's been quite a chaos, so we should leave first. Hagrid, report anything to Professor Dumbledore."

Seeing the flames slowly dying down, Arthur had no reason to stay any longer. Although he had not been injured in the battle today, he still felt mentally exhausted.

He was excited to lie down in bed and get some rest.

"O-Okay."

Hagrid now found himself unable to treat Arthur as a first-year wizard anymore and instinctively obeyed his instructions.

'Who would expect a first-year wizard to fight against a dark wizard? That's not magic.'

Neville and Malfoy by Harry's side were already scared out of their wits, and tears were almost rushing down their faces when they heard they were going back.

Especially Malfoy.

He had thought that Arthur had humiliated Slytherin and was planning to teach him a lesson, but Arthur's excellent performance in class made him restrain himself.

He was very lucky that he had only ever caused trouble for Harry and had never dared to mess with Arthur.

Otherwise, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high now. For a moment, his gaze toward Harry softened a lot.

The group walked towards the exit of the Forbidden Forest, with Arthur comfortably riding on the back of the unicorn, sometimes stroking its soft fur.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, and it was time to say goodbye to the unicorn.

Looking at the little unicorn's hesitant eyes, Arthur was consumed with cuteness.

He quickly patted its head.

"There are a lot of bad people outside, so for now, you can stay in the Forbidden Forest. If you want to find me, go to Hagrid, he'll let me know."

"Wu~"

The little unicorn whimpered and suddenly radiated a shining light from its horn, then tapped Arthur's chest.

A hexagram magic array was formed on the ground, with many ancient magical runes engraved on it. Arthur suddenly felt a connection between him and the little unicorn, and through this connection, he could give some simple message.

This was a very ancient contract, and the person who entered into the contract could not only connect with their pet through the contract, but also some of their magic would change due to the pet's attributes.

It seemed that the little unicorn had completely recognized Arthur as her master. He decided to give her a name.

"How about I call you Celestia?" Arthur asked.

The small unicorn clearly liked the name and happily let out a cry.

After resolving the issue of Celestia, Arthur didn't stay and returned to the castle with Harry and the others.

Celestia watched Arthur's figure disappear into the distance, and only after he was out of sight did she slowly return to the forest.

After saying goodbye to Harry, Arthur went back to his room and slept with his head buried. But the incident had only just begun.

The matter was so big that Hagrid didn't even care that it was already late and went directly to the Headmaster's office on the eighth floor to find Headmaster Dumbledore.
