v4 Chapter 159： Hermione wants to touch the unicorn

Malfoy left the History of Magic classroom contented. After a long conversation, the problems that plagued him were basically resolved.

All he needs to do now is to get a confession from his father, and to keep a false and condescending attitude towards the Death Eaters.

Hagrid's temporary suspension didn't cause much upheaval. The little wizards lost interest in this topic after discussing it for a while, and the discussion of Professor Grapland's unicorns was higher than Hagrid's background.

What's more interesting is that this topic magically only spreads to Hagrid, and Mrs. Maxim, who is in a similar situation to Hagrid, did not suffer from unprovoked troubles.

This may be because Hagrid's status is far inferior to that of the headmaster of a famous magic school. In the final analysis, it is still difficult for wizards to believe that such an elegant and noble Madame Maxime has the blood of a giant. They prefer to believe that she's just a little bigger.

Compared to the turmoil that Hagrid suffered before, this was just a trifle. However, it still caused a great blow to Hagrid. Hagrid shut himself in his cabin, not even Harry and Ron.

But this has little to do with Tom, he is quite looking forward to the unicorn brought by Professor Grapland.

Tom had come into contact with a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest in the first grade, but the unicorn had been badly wounded by Quirrell and died shortly after Tom expelled Quirrell. An adult, healthy unicorn that Tom saw for the first time.

Like Tom, the other classmates have a great passion for unicorns.

So when Professor Grapland came to the lawn outside the castle, she found that the students from the two colleges of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had already arrived, and they were eagerly waiting for her to come. It was a world of difference from the sparse entry of students five minutes after the last class started.

The performance of the students proved that her course was very successful. Even the unsmiling Professor Grapland couldn't help but smile. This is the happiness of being recognized for the fruits of your hard work.

"I believe that most of you already know the content of this class, so come with me!" She went straight to the point and led the students to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

This time, she also prepared a bigger surprise for these little wizards.

Those unicorns living in the Forbidden Forest gave birth. In fact, the unicorn cubs have been born for some time, and it is she, Graplan, who has delivered the unicorn.

That's why she knew the unicorn and was able to take it outside the forbidden forest.

Professor Glapland was very excited to learn that he was about to become a substitute teacher for the Conservation of Magical Creatures class. After signing with Dumbledore, she immediately entered the Forbidden Forest, expecting to find a few magical animals suitable for teaching.

Then she was lucky enough to meet the rumored unicorn tribe in the depths of the forbidden forest. Even more coincidentally, the female beasts in the group were in a state of dystocia at this time. Graplan, who has done some research on Fantastic Beasts, offered some help to deliver the baby and let the unicorn get through this difficult time.

This earned her the unicorn's trust. Now, as the cubs grow a little, she can also let the students meet the cubs of the legendary unicorn.

If one man in a thousand wizards has ever seen a unicorn, probably no one in ten thousand wizards has ever seen a unicorn cub.

Unicorn cubs receive the tightest protection of the pack. Adult unicorns may also be seen by wizards who go to or stray into the edge of the forbidden forest while foraging, and unicorn cubs who only wander back to the depths of the forbidden forest with their mothers are basically unlikely to be bumped into.

Before taking the students to see the unicorn, Professor Grapland said to the little wizards very seriously: "The unicorn is powerful, but also shy and afraid of life, so I hope your actions will not be too sudden, Violent - and, with girls in front of boys, unicorns don't like being touched by men."

The boys present:  …

Chilling, when will we boys stand up in front of unicorns? ! We want to touch unicorns too!

The boys showed envious expressions one by one, watching the girls shoving and shoving in front of them in an untidy formation.

When they saw the male unicorn on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, there was a burst of suppressed cheers from the team, and they were amazed at the beauty of the unicorn.

"Look!" Padma whispered excitedly, pointing to the forest behind the unicorn.

Following Padma's guidance, everyone successfully saw the unicorns in the woods. Unlike the adult male, the unicorn in the woods is obviously smaller, and the brows and eyes look a lot softer. At first glance, it looks like a female unicorn.

What was even more surprising was that there was a small golden ball at the feet of the female unicorn.

Unlike the pure whiteness of adult unicorns, the fur on unicorn cubs is a tan gold like gold. Under the warm winter sun, the cub seemed to glow.

Faced with such a hot gaze, the little unicorn hid behind its mother's butt only showing what should be a short, bunny-like golden tail.

"The unicorn cub is a very sensitive creature, and bringing it here is the limit." Professor Graplan said with some regret: "But this is also one-of-a-kind luck, and unicorn cubs are extremely rare. , I'm not even sure that Professor Scamander has seen it. You can get closer to see better - but keep your distance!"

Because females and cubs are very sensitive and restrained, it is impossible for Graplan to let them come outside the forbidden forest like males to be watched by students.

This time, the girls were divided into two groups. One group surrounded the adult unicorn and petted it, while the other group got as close as possible to the cub to observe its appearance.

"By the way, Tom, I remember that you can change the form of magical animals by touching them, right?" Hermione remembered something, she walked beside Tom, and whispered in a twisted voice: "Then... can you, Hmm... how about trying to pet this unicorn cub?"

Hermione struggled for a long time, and was too embarrassed to tell Tom to copy the form of a unicorn cub. She could only give him a euphemistic hint to let him find a way to change into the form of a unicorn cub.

Girls can't resist the temptation of furry little animals!

Tom:  …

"You should know that even if it's a unicorn cub, its essence is still me, so if you want to touch me, just touch me directly, you can completely save this step." Tom raised an eyebrow at Hermione.

Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden, and she felt her cheeks heat up.

"Then, that's not necessary!"

But after listening to Hermione's words, Tom walked towards the cub.
