Chapter 112: Return to the Castle! Consultation by the Headmaster!

"It was a Killing Spell. Fortunately, unicorns have strong magic resistance, so it didn't threaten its soul. It's just a simple physical injury," Dumbledore examined the unicorn and said. Then he cast several Healing Spells on the unicorn in succession.

The lightning-shaped wound on the unicorn's back healed immediately and finally turned into an ugly large lightning-shaped scar.

Dudley took out half a bottle of Pepper - Up Potion from his Personal Space and fed it to the unicorn.

Previously, when he made a large purchase of cheap potions from Madam Pomfrey, he bought a large bottle of Pepper - Up Potion. He had fed half a bottle to Peter Pettigrew, and now there was still more than half left, which came in handy just right.

The unicorn was very smart. It knew that what Dudley was feeding it was a good thing, so it didn't show the slightest resistance and gulped it down. Soon, it finished more than half a bottle of the Pepper - Up Potion.

After that, the unicorn regained its vitality. It staggered to its feet, walked back and forth a couple of steps, and generally returned to normal.

"Neigh~~~"

Seeing that their fellow unicorn had recovered, the unicorn herd let out a joyous neigh.

The injured unicorn even lifted its right front leg and lowered its head from afar, bowing to Dumbledore and Dudley. It was very polite.

"Dear unicorns, you still need to be more careful to prevent the Dark Wizard from attacking again!"

Dudley leaned on his Smelting Stick and bowed back to the unicorn herd.

The unicorns let out another round of hearty neighs, as if responding to Dudley. Then, they left in a scattered formation.

This place is inauspicious. They have to find a new place as their territory before they can sleep.

When Dudley saw that the unicorn herd had gone far away, he immediately used the empty potion bottle of the Pepper - Up Potion to collect all the cursed Unicorn Blood left on the ground and put it into his Personal Space.

"Dudley, this blood is not a good thing!" Dumbledore beside him quickly reminded.

"You're being short - sighted, Dumbledore. It's not just good things that are useful. Bad things can also come in really handy sometimes!" Dudley said meaningfully.

Naturally, the more Unicorn Blood there was, the stronger the vitality in it, but it wasn't the same with the Curse.

As long as someone's lips touched this blood, even if they didn't drink half a drop into their stomach, the Curse would still attach to that person without any reduction.

For Dudley, this was a negative Magic Item with extremely high cost - effectiveness for Fusion. It's truly a must - have for sneak attacks!

Dumbledore looked at Dudley's sinister smile and silently sighed again. He thought to himself that the enemies on the opposite side of Dudley were going to have a hard time again.

But he didn't say anything more. Instead, he watched as Dudley threw his stick forward, and it turned into a large hovering blanket.

"Come on, my friend. Use your profound Magic Power to make the magic carpet fly!"

Dudley gave a light jump, landed on the blanket, and sat down. He pointed to the remaining empty space on the blanket and said to Dumbledore.

"I have to say, Dudley, you always come up with some new tricks."

Dumbledore didn't decline. He took a step with his long old legs and also sat on the magic carpet.

Then, he pointed the Elder Wand at the blanket beneath him. The blanket immediately shot up into the air and flew over The Forbidden Forest. After determining the direction, it made a beeline for Hogwarts Castle.

A moment later, Dudley and Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts Castle.

Dudley dashed to Professor Eris's office to clean up the mess. He shooed away Peeves, who had been loitering there. Then he retrieved Eris's suitcase and put it back where it belonged.

After that, with the Reparo spell, the messy office was restored to its former state as if time had turned back. It was as if Dudley had never broken into the office.

Since the magic carpet flew much faster than Hagrid moved, even though Dudley and Dumbledore had spent some time treating the unicorn, they still reached Hogwarts Castle before Hagrid.

Moreover, they didn't enter through the main entrance but flew directly in through a high - floor window.

Therefore, when Madam Pomfrey, who was woken up in the middle of the night, took over the patient from Hagrid and examined Professor Eris's injuries with great solemnity, she was at a loss. When she wanted to seek the headmaster's help, she easily found Dumbledore without disappointment.

Dumbledore invited the deans of the four houses and Madam Pomfrey to gather in the school infirmary in the middle of the night for an expert consultation on Professor Eris.

After a thorough joint examination and discussion, everyone came up with a treatment plan.

Professor Sprout would gather herbs, Snape would prepare potions, and Professors McGonagall, Flitwick and Dumbledore would cast powerful counter - spells together.

Finally, after dawn, Professor Eris was awakened.

By this time, Dudley had already returned to the dormitory and slept for several hours before waking up.

After walking out of the Gryffindor common room, following the widespread rumors that had spread since early morning, he went to the school infirmary as a teaching assistant to visit the patient with other professors in the school.

...

Professor Eris had a long and terrible nightmare. In the dream, she was trampled into minced meat by countless angry unicorns and then roasted into a pizza by countless silver - white energy rays.

It was strange, absurd and terrifying.

When she first woke up, her mind was in a muddle. She only vaguely realized that she seemed to be in a hospital ward, with several hazy figures around.

Soothed by a gentle and kind - hearted female voice, she fell into a deep sleep again.

When she opened her eyes again, her mind was finally completely clear, and she recognized the surrounding environment.

She was in the school infirmary, and Madam Pomfrey was guarding her.

How did she survive the onslaught of the angry unicorns? And how did she make it from the depths of The Forbidden Forest to the school infirmary?

Had the evil plans in her mind, from which she had removed the key memories, been exposed?

Could she still continue to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Professor Eris was in a mess mentally and looked very pale. She didn't know what kind of situation she was going to face. She could only force herself to calm down and prepare to deal with the difficulties.

"Professor Eris, you're awake! That's great! Have some water first. I'll go and tell everyone this good news!"

Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse beside her, didn't know Professor Eris's complicated mental activities. She was very happy to see Professor Eris wake up again.

The teapot and teacup on the low table beside the hospital bed lifted into the air automatically. The teapot filled the teacup with water, and then the teacup floated to Professor Eris's lips, waiting for her to take a sip.

After that, Madam Pomfrey got up to open the ward door.

In a large lounge outside the ward, most of the Hogwarts faculty members were waiting there, whispering to each other.

The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was seriously injured outside at night. What a horrifying thing! How could it not arouse people's curiosity and worry?

"Professor Eris is awake. You can come in and visit her, but note that you only have fifteen minutes. The patient needs rest!"

Madam Pomfrey opened the ward door and said assertively to the people waiting outside.

In the school infirmary, she's the one in charge. Even Dumbledore doesn't have much say here.
