Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 57: Thanks for the invitation, people in the forbidden forest are unicorns
"I want the exact location of Azkaban."

Cohen stated his demands.

Originally, Cohen wanted to squeeze some money out of him, but he didn't seem to be so short of pocket money now - and Quirrell had become a pauper because of the dragon egg incident.

Cohen really wanted to ask Quirrell about this. Now that he had become a dark wizard, why didn't he try to do some robbery, theft, murder, and other such things...

"Azkaban?" Quirrell didn't understand why Coin wanted to go there—was there anyone important to him imprisoned there? "What are you going to do there?"

"Visiting relatives," Cohen replied briefly.

In fact, he was right. Cohen did go to test the "family relationship" between himself and the Dementors. Of course, this was only one of the reasons.

There is a more important reason:
Helga Hufflepuff's cup, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

It's in the Lestrange vault at Gringotts.

If Coin didn't intend to take the risk of stealing from the vault, he could only go to that madman Bellatrix Lestrange to get some evidence and then bring the gold cup out openly.

And Coin had an offer Bellatrix couldn't refuse.

"Heil hydra"

No, it's "The Dark Lord is not dead, prove your loyalty, his plan requires your sacrifice."

It was hard to imagine any reason for that mad woman, so obsessed with Voldemort, to refuse after such a long wait.

"Visiting relatives?" Quirrell was even more confused. "I thought..."

"The experimental subjects also have experimental materials." Cohen was a little surprised by Quirrell's understanding. Wasn't he a very good Ravenclaw graduate? Had Voldemort messed with his mind?
"I went back to Burke Manor a few days ago and found some things there." Cohen didn't intend to reveal too much about himself to Quirrell and Voldemort. "I went to Azkaban to find someone to confirm the situation."

"I know the location of Azkaban..." Voldemort hissed, his voice intermittent. It should be that the effect of the unicorn blood last time was about to wear off. "I put the memory into Quirrell's mind... Use Legilimency to see..."

Cohen watched Quirrell's expression twist for a moment, then used Legilimency on him after Quirrell regained his composure.

Voldemort had been to Azkaban many times - of course, not to be imprisoned, but to win over the Dementors.

Although the location cannot be marked, if its location exists in memory, magic that prohibits marking is useless.

After figuring out Azkaban's location at sea, Coin stopped using Legilimency.

Quirrell had suffered two mental invasions in succession and now looked a little demented - Coin suddenly understood why Quirrell had become stupid after following Voldemort.

"Okay, deal done."

Cohen finished his work with satisfaction.

Now he didn't have to waste time drifting around on the sea looking for Azkaban.

After leaving Quirrell's office, Cohen did not rush to find Hagrid to get Ali back.

Cohen didn't return to Hagrid's Hut until the afternoon Herbology class was over.

Ali, who was originally released behind the hut, was brought back into the hut by Hagrid and taken care of together with the dragon egg.

But the environment inside is not much better than outside.

"Hagrid, Ali looks hot," Cohen warned.

It would be easy to find a reason to take Ali away.

"I'd better take it back to the Room of Requirement—you know, there's a magical room in the school where I've been keeping Ali. It's big and safe."

The Room of Requirement is now occupied by Cohen and the Count. When there is someone inside, it will not open the door or change for others.

"Oh - Merlin's beard, I forgot about that -" Hagrid slapped his head in frustration, "I was too busy looking at the dragon eggs..."

[Pooh! Scumbag]

Yali said angrily.

I haven't had any Butterbeer for three days.

"You are not allowed to become an alcoholic!"

Cohen demanded sternly to Yali.

What happened? I should have chosen some other food earlier...

Cohen had never heard of Butterbeer being addictive for unicorns.

After successfully leaving Hagrid's hut with Ali, Cohen headed straight for the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid was busy ensuring the temperature of the dragon eggs and had no time to confirm the students' entry into the forest. He was a little too enthusiastic about the dragon eggs. In fact, there was no need to always ensure that there were seven sticks of wood in the stove. After all, the temperature was pretty much the same.

"Can you find a colony of unicorns?" Cohen asked. "Wait, I have to find a way to dye your fur..."

After Cohen cast several staining spells, Ali was now basically a "white" unicorn.

Although the unicorns couldn't tell the difference between Yali and them, the centaurs could.

So necessary disguise is still necessary.

[Can smell]

Yali searched the air for the sense of closeness that came from her bloodline—besides Cohen, the air was also filled with traces of scent left by many unicorns.

Cohen and it walked a long way deep into the forbidden forest, and finally found a group of unicorns by a frozen lake.

They rested around the lake, where the unicorn had bored a hole in the edge of the lake so that they could drink water.

The surrounding snow almost blends in with their snow-white manes, and the air is filled with a warm, fairy-like mist—unicorns are indeed a species that looks sacred.

The leading male unicorn spotted Cohen and Yali and ran towards them.

[You are...from outside the forest? ]

The male unicorn had a deep voice and seemed to be the leader of the pack, and Cohen found that he could hear his voice too - even when he was talking to Yali.

[Yes] Yali replied.

You have children...

The unicorn leader stretched his head and sniffed next to Cohen, as if confirming that Cohen was also one of them.

[Come quickly, you must be exhausted, we have food and water here, and it is safe]

Safe trade.

Cohen didn't believe a word the unicorn boss said.

If Coin hadn't taken on this task, Voldemort would have come here to kill another unicorn.

However, it was indeed a bit outrageous that he could infiltrate the unicorn so easily. Although the unicorn had eyes, they seemed to be no different from blind.

Cohen doesn't look like a "unicorn cub" at all.

Isn't it a bit too unsafe to rely solely on scent and kinship to identify the same kind?
In other words, they would not have considered the emergence of a hybrid creature like Cohen... because under normal circumstances, the high-end identification method of same-species induction is sufficient.

【New tribesmen are coming! 】

The unicorn leader announced to the unicorns resting by the lake.

[Are there new members of the same tribe coming to the forest? ]

【Where is it? 】

【Let me smell it】

……

Upon hearing this, the unicorns who were resting or playing immediately rushed towards Cohen.

A bunch of horse heads were sniffing around Cohen and Yali, and from time to time a few would rub against Cohen's face.

"call……"

After dodging the eighth horn that nearly stabbed his eyeball, Cohen was finally able to take a break.

I've been rubbed by every unicorn in this tribe - I feel like I'm not very clean anymore...

The smell of unicorns is quite pleasant. To Cohen, it smells like vanilla ice cream - no wonder unicorn hair is used as an ingredient in love potions.

[You can live here, those wizards outside can't hurt you]

The unicorn chief said soothingly to Cohen and Yali.

[A monster previously harmed one of our separated compatriots. We must work together and not separate again.]
