Chapter 979: I said it!!

Christmas passed quickly.

On the first day of school, their first class was Care of Magical Creatures.

To tell the truth, in this snowy weather, Darren really didn't want to come out.

But there was no choice.

Among wizards, there wasn't even a possibility of asking for leave due to illness.

Because a single dose of potion would fix it.

This was the greatest malice toward poor students.

However, when they arrived at Hagrid's hut, they found that Hagrid wasn't there; only a strange witch was standing there.

"Where's Hagrid?"

Darren frowned as he looked at her.

He looked at Hagrid's hut behind the witch, a look of worry appearing on his face.

"He is not feeling well, so Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to—temporarily substitute for your class!"

The witch said crisply and neatly.

Then she looked at all the students and said: "I am Professor Grubbly-Plank, your new Care of Magical Creatures professor. Everyone follow me now, class is about to start, you are too scattered!"

She said sternly.

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Darren was so worried that he leaned directly against the window of Hagrid's hut, attempting to see the situation inside clearly.

But he was pulled back by Professor Grubbly-Plank.

"You cannot do that, child, this is a very impolite thing to do!"

"But I want to know how Hagrid is?"

【Ding...】

Darren showed a worried expression.

"Then you can come back to check after class."

This was a very sensible suggestion.

It was indeed much better than Darren watching here.

And mainly it was also because he couldn't see the situation inside through the curtains at all.

Thus, Darren could only show a worried expression, looking back every few steps as he followed Professor Grubbly-Plank toward the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Just as they arrived there, he discovered a very beautiful unicorn lying there.

Its silver-white mane looked exceptionally beautiful.

This made many girls almost scream out loud upon seeing it.

"All girls step forward, boys step back!"

Professor Grubbly-Plank shouted loudly.

"Unicorns don't like men..."

She was explaining when the unicorn proudly stood up.

Then it walked in front of Darren.

It slowly lowered its head.

It gently rubbed Darren's arm with its beautiful horn.

It said with a soft expression: "Cub, why are you here? I am Ailike, I haven't seen you for a few years, you seem to have grown a lot."

Ailike? Darren remembered.

He seemed to have saved this unicorn when he was in his first year. He even earned the title of "Unicorn Cub." In the end, this unicorn even gave him unicorn blood.

Which let him sell it for tens of thousands of Galleons.

It was said that it went to St. Mungo's for treatment later.

Unfortunately, it hadn't been cured for several years.

He had thought this fellow didn't intend to repay the favor.

He didn't expect it to appear now; could it be that it was already cured? Of course.

"It's you!"

Darren showed a surprised expression.

He showed a worried expression and carefully examined Ailike's body.

"That's great, you are really all better."

【Ding...】

Ailike was also very happy.

It gently rubbed against Darren and said: "Before, there was a toxin that couldn't be cleared, I thought I was going to die, but you invented the latest antidote.

I have survived because of you again, what do you want? Cub, I will give you anything! Even my life, we unicorns don't owe favors!"

It happily trotted around Darren.

It seemed extremely happy.

Right now, even if Darren wanted its life, it probably wouldn't refuse.

Of course.

Darren naturally wouldn't want its life.

He thought for a moment and said amusingly: "As compensation, then give me one of your tail hairs, okay?"

Ailike was stunned.

Its tail hair, what kind of trash is this.

Is this cub stupid?

Actually wanting this kind of thing.

Isn't this thing something you can have as much as you want?

Their tail hairs grow very fast; even if you take them all, they will grow back after a while.

This little cub is really too stupid! It stomped its hoof.

It hurriedly wanted Darren to change his request.

Darren smiled gently.
