60 It's Just Burning the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore Can Do It, Right?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Norbert flapped his wings, bent his arms and legs forward, and landed hard on the ground. Ivan perched imperiously on top of Norbert's back, gave Hagrid a worried look, and then raised his wand high in the air, searching for the enemy.

"Where's the enemy, Hagrid?" Ivan asked, looking around the room.

"I-I think I just flew out…" Hagrid stammered as he pointed to the forest on the right with tears on his face.

'He flew out?'

Yvonne recalled that the landing on Norbert seemed to have been impeded.

Ivan suddenly felt sorry for Chino. Judging from the intensity of the collision, Chino had most likely managed to cast a defensive charm, and was unlikely to die.

'So Chino should still be alive?'

"Fiery!" Ivan became nervous at the thought and cast several Fire Incantations in the direction Hagrid was pointing.

Crimson flames shot into the sky, spreading in all directions…

Even so, Ivan still felt that it was unsafe, and immediately ordered Norbert to continuously breathe dragon's breath in that direction, the more powerful the better, and best to ensure that no one could come out alive from that direction…

Ivan did not dare to take any chances with Chino, who was possessed by Lord Voldemort.

Norbert gave it his all as if he was having a good time. Fire-breathing was his favourite. With a few dragon breaths, a large number of trees were swallowed by the raging flames…

Hagrid, who was standing at the side, stared at this scene for a long time, unable to speak…

"Isn't that a bit much…" Yvonne wondered, caught in the light of the fire, if it was too much? What if it didn't go out?

Would he be caught and sent to Azkaban for setting fire to the Forbidden Forest? Surely Professor Dumbledore could manage that?

Irritated, Ivan kicked Norbert, and his plan to sneak up on Chino was foiled by Norbert's dragon roar.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to use the Blaze to finish the job…

Norbert whimpered with grief. He had finally managed to fly two circles in the air. What was wrong with roaring?

Ivan ignored Norbert and gestured for him to stand guard, then jumped off Norbert's back and hurried over to Hagrid.

Fang ran up to Hagrid as soon as he landed and licked his face with his scarlet tongue, making Hagrid drool.

"Hagrid, is everything all right? I've sent Harry to inform the Professor. They'll be here soon." Yvonne leaned closer and examined the wounds on Hagrid's waist and thighs.

Even though the wounds were gruesomely bloody and black gas was seeping out of them, Ivan was relieved that they were not fatal. Unfortunately, he could not cast a Healing Charm to treat Hagrid.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Go and see how Cecilia's doing. She was hit by the Avada Kedavra to protect me…" Hagrid urged Ivan to go and see if he could be saved.

"Cecilia?" Yvonne asked curiously.

"That's the name I just gave it, an' if it weren't fer Cecilia, I'd be dead," Hagrid sobbed, wiping the tears from his face with his big, dusty hands.

After Ivan confirmed that Hagrid was really okay, he nodded and moved towards the dying unicorn.

As they approached, Ivan was struck by the unicorn's charm.

Under the illumination of the fire, Cecilia looked like the legendary Pegasus, with a faint white glow around her body and a unique spiral horn on her forehead. However, there were several long and narrow wounds on her abdomen and hind legs, and blue blood kept flowing down…

But Ivan understood that the real danger was Chino's Avada Kedavra… even with the unicorn's immense life force, it had reached its limit.

Cecilia's bright green eyes darkened with grief and pain…

Ivan gently stroked its mane, savoring the strangely smooth texture. All he could do now was comfort it.

The irreversible effect of the Avada Kedavra was one of the reasons why it was listed as one of the Three Unforgivable Curses.

Cécile's eyes drifted shut as Ivan comforted her, and she began to lose her life force. Ivan sighed, and in the principle of not wasting anything, he took a test tube from his pocket and filled it with the blood that was flowing from the wound.

Ivan tightened the cap with a wooden stopper and looked at the dreamy blue in the test tube.

"Your enemy will not live long anyway… Rest in peace…"

When she finished speaking, Ivan wondered if it was his imagination, but he had a feeling that Cecilia's body had changed, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

However, Ivan's words were not entirely comforting, as Chino's identity had already been exposed. Even if he did not die from the fire, his life force would have been drained by Lord Voldemort due to his injuries.

Ivan stood up and placed the test tube containing the unicorn's blood in place. He thought he heard a system notification, but before he could check it, he saw a tabby cat flying through the forest.

It was much faster than a normal human running at full speed. Yvonne wondered if she was seeing things. How could a cat run so fast?

Norbert, who was on guard duty, immediately became alert. He bared his fangs and growled at the tabby cat, but did not dare to attack.

Because it was under more pressure than Ivan the Scoucher.

"Norbert, stop, that's not the enemy!" Ivan shouted, gesturing for Norbert to step back. He could still recognize Professor McGonagall's Animagus form.

However, it was unknown how McGonagall managed to increase her movement speed after transforming. Based on his impression of the Animagus in the book, after transforming, she should be no different from an ordinary cat.

As expected, when the tabby cat arrived in front of Hagrid, its body quickly distorted and transformed back into Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall noticed the spreading fire as soon as she arrived. She waved her wand, and a large amount of clear water was drawn over from afar. It gathered into the shape of a snake and swept to the right.

The tongue of fire had a wide range, but it was relatively scattered compared to the power of the water snakes. Without anyone to command it, it did not take long for it to be extinguished…

Even so, a large area was burned to the ground, and it would probably not return to normal for decades…
