Chapter 150: Fantastic Beasts

Not long after, the male unicorn returned. It walked elegantly before the three, bowing its head and setting down an empty bucket.

Up close, Felix Harp noticed its mane shimmering with a glow as white as pearls. Even the shadowy depths of the Forbidden Forest couldn't hide the dancing light that emanated from its form.

On a high, brown slope, a slender unicorn gazed at them from a distance. Beside it stood a small unicorn with golden fur.

"Look, look," Hagrid couldn't contain his excitement, rubbing his hands together, completely enchanted. "That's your child, isn't it, Ruby?"

The unicorn named "Ruby" affectionately nuzzled Hagrid's hand.

Soon, with a few bounds, Ruby and its family ascended the slope and disappeared into the distance.

The mottled silver-white light followed their figures until they were completely gone.

"I'll show you around," Hagrid said. "I don't really have much else to do."

He looked at the black dog. "Fang, you can head back home."

Fang bared his teeth, emitting a soft growl.

"Go on, don't worry, I'll be back later." Hagrid's large hand patted Fang's head.

Only after Fang's form vanished did Hagrid realize he was still holding a bucket.

"I should have had Fang take the bucket back," he muttered in frustration.

Felix tapped his wand on it, transforming it into a silver staff.

Hagrid waved it excitedly a couple of times, and the staff produced an impenetrable silver light, emitting a "whoosh" sound that nearly hit Belby's head.

"Careful, Hagrid!"

"Uh, sorry, got a bit carried away there. Did I hear right, your name is Belby?"

"Belby, Damocles Belby."

"Oh, um, alright then, Professor Belby."

In the dense jungle, Hagrid led the way while Felix Harp and Professor Belby followed behind him.

As they walked, they engaged in conversation.

"Hagrid, I've heard there are werewolves and giants in the Forbidden Forest, is that true?" Felix asked with interest. He was skeptical, as he had never encountered them during his night wanderings using the Disillusionment Charm last semester.

Felix even found one of the giant spider's large pincers in a rocky, winding path.

As the sky gradually darkened, the dwindling light within the Forbidden Forest quickly faded, and the trees seemed to turn black. They prepared to return to the castle.

"The way is long; we might not make it back in time for dinner," Hagrid raised his arm, using his silver staff and the other arm to part the dense branches above. He looked at the sky tinged with hues of sunset.

With his gesture, golden light spilled, forming a radiant circle near the trio.

Felix squinted, adjusting to the sudden brightness.

"I have a better way, Hagrid."

He extended his hands, placing one on Professor Belby's shoulder and the other on Hagrid's waist.

"What?" Hagrid asked, somewhat astonished.

The next moment, their bodies twisted rapidly and vanished from their original spots.

The branches, now unsupported, snapped back suddenly, and a few leaves fluttered down.

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, not far from Hagrid's hut, the three figures reappeared abruptly.

Hagrid surveyed the surroundings. After spotting his hut, he exclaimed with excitement, "This is Apparition! Truly convenient! Honestly, I've never experienced this magic before..."

"I've heard former wizards at the pub talk about it. They thought using a Portkey or Apparating for travel were the acts of fools—you'd at least take half a day to get used to that nauseating feeling, but it's not as bad as they make it sound."

Felix shook his head. Apparating with Hagrid was much more challenging than doing it alone.

After dinner in the Great Hall, Felix returned to his office.

He took out today's haul from his ring: a pile of magical plants stacked in the corner. He planned to visit Professor Sprout to inquire about transplanting and cultivating. They didn't need meticulous care, just enough to sustain them until he was ready to use them.

There were also materials from magical creatures, such as the giant pincer of the Acromantula, feathers from the Hippogriffs, and stingers from the Billywig. He intended to experiment with their magical properties one by one.

Just past eight o'clock, he heard a knock on the door. Opening it, he found his assistant standing outside.

"Professor, I have some questions I'd like to consult you about, regarding course selection."
