Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 69 The Blue Unicorn Outside the Window
At the year-end banquet that evening, to everyone's surprise, Gryffindor, who ranked last in points, came from behind and snatched the house cup from Slytherin.

Because Dumbledore also took into account everything that happened in the dungeon, he first gave Ciarán Ollivander a hundred points because he disregarded his own safety and led the mad three-headed dog out of the castle, protecting the lives of most students.

This one extra point alone pushed Gryffindor from last to second place.

Then, Ron, Hermione, and Harry were each awarded 50 points for not fearing danger and protecting the Philosopher's Stone.

Neville also got ten extra points for sticking to his stance, but that wasn't important anymore, because by the time Harry's points were added, their score had already surpassed Slytherin and they won the house cup.

The Gryffindors partied late into the night.

This was exactly what Xi Lun wanted, because for some reason, his dormitory was too cold and it was more comfortable to stay in the warm common room.

It was not until the early morning, when everyone had gradually dispersed, that Xilun returned to the dormitory with excitement.

The good news is that after such a long period of contact, the dragon blood wood has not been affected by Voldemort's fragments at all, making it the most suitable choice for the wand body.

But how should I put it...it seems a bit too good.

When the exhausted students were still deep in sleep, waiting for the upcoming vacation, they were greeted by a sharp explosion.

After a loud bang, at least a dozen windows were shattered, and the Hogwarts Castle in the early morning became brightly lit in an instant.

Then, the first few Gryffindors who woke up suddenly saw a unicorn emitting blue light outside the window, and a face that was indescribable.

Merlin, this is the eighth floor, where did this unicorn come from!

But when they came to their senses and wanted to take a closer look, the unicorn had disappeared, leaving only a mess on the ground.

A few minutes later, the professors arrived.

But because the movement appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly in a very short time, they couldn't figure out what had happened.

All we know is that it was near the Gryffindor common room, because that was the area that was most severely affected, and almost all the windows of the dormitories were broken.

Next was Ravenclaw, broken in half.

The Hufflepuff and Slytherin dormitories were in the basement, so they escaped the disaster.

When Professor McGonagall, dressed in pajamas, rushed to the common room, she immediately cast a suspicious look at Xiren.

There was no way, since Xi Lun had a criminal record. The two-foot wand he made last time woke up half of the people in the castle.

This time it was even more exaggerated. Almost all the students in the castle, including professors, woke up!
Faced with Professor McGonagall's questioning, Siren simply opened his dormitory door.

There was nothing inside. Although the tables, chairs, bookcases, etc. were damaged, the situation was similar to that of other dormitories.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. Her intuition told her that this matter was definitely related to Xi Lun. What was even more suspicious was that several students were still looking at Xi Lun intentionally or unintentionally.

Although eye contact cannot be used as evidence, Professor McGonagall still secretly kept it in mind. At least she would not dispel this suspicion until the culprit was caught.

Perhaps because Hogwarts was about to close for the holidays, the professors did not investigate further and left after restoring the dormitory to its original state with a few senior students.

The castle was noisy and it was not until an hour later that it gradually became quiet.

But this doesn't mean the matter is over.

The next day, when the students headed to Hogsmeade Station, they were still discussing the mysterious blue unicorn.

However, opinions on this matter were clearly divided. "There are no blue unicorns, and they can't fly," said Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff, who felt that the Gryffindors were exaggerating a bit and couldn't help but help them learn some basic knowledge about unicorns.

But the Gryffindors insisted they saw it.

This statement was originally regarded as a joke until several Ravenclaws stood up and said the same thing.

Unlike the notorious Gryffindor, Ravenclaws rarely boast, not to mention that there are as many as twenty or thirty people standing up this time.

"I know this is ridiculous, but I really saw it with my own eyes." Qiu Zhang, a second-year student, is one of the most determined Ravenclaws.

At that time, the unicorn happened to fly past the window of their dormitory. She had never seen such a beautiful creature. Its dark blue body seemed to be covered with stars. The picture was instantly engraved in her mind.

So after hearing Cedric's words, she stood up without hesitation. "If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, don't be so quick to deny it. Besides, this is Hogwarts. Magic can create all possibilities, right?"

"Well, sorry..." Cedric was speechless and could only choose to apologize.

In fact, after the Ravenclaws came forward to testify, he became a little uncertain.

Are there really blue, flying unicorns in the magical world?

It just so happened that after Hogwarts was on vacation, he could go and ask his father who worked at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

At the same time, in a corridor on the second floor.

"It was you who did it!" Fred and George found Xiren who was about to go downstairs and asked aggressively.

"What did I do?" Xi Lun blinked innocently.

"Of course it's the unicorn from last night." Fred took a step forward.

"You've been acting so mysterious these past few days, rarely even leaving the dormitory."

"This also happened once during the Christmas holidays."

"And then your dorm was smashed to pieces."

"It's the same again this time, do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"

Their tone was very certain, as if they were determined to pin the blame on Xi Lun.

"We are not as easy to fool as the professor," George added.

If it were before, Xi Lun would probably throw up his hands, admit it directly, and then say - "So, you are going to report me to the professor?"

But he was not in the mood today, so he made up an excuse to perfunctorily say a few words to the Weasley brothers, walked around them and left.

Fred and George also seemed to notice that Xiren was not in a good condition. He looked pale and listless, and looked not much different from Harry when he was sent to the school hospital.

So they didn't argue any further and just said they would go find Xilun to play after the holiday.

Xi Lun had said before that he lived in Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. It was easy to find. For those who were connected to the Floo Network, he was no different from a neighbor.
