Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 79 #Forbidden Forest Unicorn Group Suffers Mysterious Attack#
Hagrid, who had cheered up again, led them into Cohen's box and brought in a whole dead sheep as Norbert's lunch.

Two more "buildings" appeared in the originally empty wilderness.

Hagrid had built a large two-story wooden house near the entrance, which looked even more luxurious than his own.

"Hagrid...how many trees did you cut down?" Harry swallowed. This wooden house would have required at least a few hundred tree trunks to build.

"Ah—I asked Professor Sprout to help me get some tree fertilizer. I'll be able to get a lot of wood in a few days." Hagrid scratched his head. "I was wondering if Cohen would think it was too small..."

"It's already bigger than my house." Cohen praised Hagrid's craftsmanship, "Hagrid, you are simply the god of architecture!"

Hagrid looked very happy at Cohen's praise.

The evil little Dementor gained some experience in interacting with people.jpg
Cohen originally intended this house to be a backup base, as long as he could sleep there.

It now seems to have far exceeded Cohen's expectations, saving the effort of reconstruction.

The structure of the house also met Cohen's expectations. Hager not only prepared several bedrooms on the second floor for Cohen, but also prepared a tool room, study, kitchen, toilet and a spacious living room on the first floor.

"Since I had to come in and do the decorations, I made the doorframes a size bigger..." said Hagrid nervously.

"I like it very much." Cohen replied seriously.

"Cohen, are you going to take this trunk home for the summer?" Harry asked enviously. "If I could, I'd definitely rather live in your trunk than at the Dursleys'."

"That's great..." Ron said enviously, "I want to live here too - my bedroom has nothing, and there's a noisy ghoul upstairs..."

Most of the infrastructure here has been prepared by Hagrid, such as wooden tables, chairs and beds, and Cohen can move in at any time.

The only drawback may be the lack of water supply and sewer system, but thanks to the clear water spring spell and the disappearance spell, these problems are easily solved.

Cohen was very satisfied with the new house, and Hagrid was happy that he could help Cohen.

Win-win!

Harry was hoping to escape to summer vacation here, while Hermione felt that Coin needed to cast some fire-proofing spells outside the cabin to prevent Norbert from accidentally setting it on fire.

"And Norbert?" Coln asked. "How big is he now?"

And it didn't pounce on Cohen the moment he came in, which surprised Cohen a little.

Especially since Hagrid had brought in a bloody, dead sheep.

Norbert's nest was built not far away. It was an artificial cave. Cohen had helped use magic to pull up a small hill with a cave in the box, and Hagrid decorated it beautifully.

Harry and the others stayed outside the cave cautiously - they didn't dare to enter the cave of a dragon that might have grown bigger than Hagrid.

Only Cohen and Hagrid went in.

"Fluorescence."

Cohen lit the tip of the wand. In order to create a sense of mystery for the "Fire Dragon Cave", Cohen lengthened the length of the cave and added some twists and turns - this would give Norbert the epic feeling of a big boss.

"Snoring——"

The closer you get to the depths, the louder the fire dragon's snoring becomes.

Until Cohen and Hagrid reached the deepest part - a large amount of gold and silver coins were spread out by Hagrid, and Norbert, who was about the size of a small car, was sleeping on it in a ball.

"Hagrid, where did you get so much money?" Cohen didn't even need to count how much money there was. It was already very powerful to be able to lay a layer of money in such a big cave.

"I got it from the Nifflers' lair in the forest. I guess it's all money dropped by former students..." Hagrid said, "I read in a book that dragons like to lie on piles of money. I thought it would be the same habit of the Nifflers, so I just..." The smell of blood from the dead sheep made Norbert sniff.

It opened its eyes, and its orange-red eyes looked particularly bright in the somewhat dim surroundings.

It spotted Hagrid - the one who brought the food.

It saw the dead sheep in Hagrid's hand - compared to yesterday's cow, there was less meat, but it tasted very good.

It saw Cohen—

Damn, this is my ancestor!
Its pupils constricted and it jumped up immediately.

Some memories of the first birth are attacking it.

Norbert began to shake his tail frantically as if by muscle memory, trying to get into Cohen's arms as before - but now his head was almost as big as Cohen's entire upper body.

"Calm down!"

After Cohen used "Soul Drain", Norbert wisely retreated.

"It seems Norbert really likes you..." Hagrid said with emotion.

"Good boy—here, look what I brought you!"

Hagrid tossed the dead sheep toward Norbert, who caught it expertly and began feasting on it with blood splattering.

The scene was a bit bloody, so Cohen chose to leave - it was just to see whether Norbert was behaving well, there was no need to appreciate the scene of dragons hunting like Hagrid.

Although Norbert's body grew very quickly, Cohen noticed that his soul grew very slowly, and its strength remained unchanged, maintaining at around 20 points - this might be related to the overall lifespan of this species. Cohen speculated that the soul of a creature would only be fully developed when its lifespan was about to end.

Considering what Nicolas Flamel and Dumbledore said, "Death is but another great adventure," perhaps the soul will go to the next world after death. After all, Cohen did travel to this world after death.

The visit ended successfully. Cohen was very satisfied with the project in the box, which saved him a lot of effort.

Harry and the others returned to the castle, but Cohen had no plans to go back for the time being - he had to take Ali with him before going home for the summer vacation.

Hagrid plans to take Cohen to the unicorn settlement to bring Ali back.

Because of the Butterbeer, Hagrid felt the magical unicorn wouldn't refuse. ("You can't go into the Forbidden Forest alone. It's too dangerous," Hagrid said seriously.)
But Cohen felt that Hagrid would soon regret it - before they even saw the unicorn hair, they could already smell the faint smell of alcohol on the road they were walking.

"Oh, Merlin's beard..."

Following the forest path to the lake where the unicorns often rested, Hagrid was frightened by the group of unicorns with "corpses everywhere".

Yali's fur, which had been dyed white by Cohen, had returned to its original black color. She was sipping from a bucket of butterbeer - there were a pile of empty buckets scattered around.

[Hah——There's not even one capable of fighting...]

Yali also looked a little weak and could hardly stand.

"Hagrid, how much butterbeer did you give Ali?" Cohen checked the unicorn "corpse" on the ground. "But fortunately, they are all still alive."

In fact, it was obvious that they were drunk, but the way Ali stood among the group of lying unicorns and talked nonsense really made it look like she had killed them all.

"I thought it was the only one that liked butterbeer. How come all the unicorns have become drunkards?" Hagrid was like being struck by lightning.
