Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 69 The Blue Unicorn Outside the Window

At the year-end banquet that evening, to everyone's surprise, Gryffindor, who ranked last in the class, came from behind and snatched the House Cup from Slytherin.

Because Dumbledore included everything that happened in the underground classroom, he first gave Siron Ollivander a hundred points because he risked his own safety to lure the mad Cerberus out of the castle, protecting the lives of most of the students.

This single bonus point alone propelled Gryffindor from last place to second.

Next, Ron, Hermione, and Harry each received an extra 50 points for protecting the Philosopher's Stone without fear of danger.

Neville also received ten extra points for sticking to his position, but that's not important anymore, because by the time Harry's points were added, their score had already surpassed Slytherin's, and they won the House Cup.

Gryffindor therefore partied until late at night.

This suited Xilun perfectly, as his dormitory was too cold for some reason, and it was much more comfortable to stay in the warm common room.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning, after everyone had gradually dispersed, that Xilun returned to his dormitory, still feeling excited.

Good news! After such a long period of contact, the Dragonblood Wood has not been affected by the Voldemort fragments at all, making it the most suitable choice for the staff body.

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

While the exhausted students were still sound asleep, waiting to welcome the upcoming holiday, they were first greeted by a piercing explosion.

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

Then, the first few Gryffindors to wake up suddenly saw a unicorn radiating blue light outside the window, as well as a face that was indescribable.

Merlin above, this is the eighth floor! Where did this unicorn come from?!

But when they came to their senses and tried to get a better look, the unicorn was gone, leaving only a mess on the ground.

A few minutes later, the professors arrived.

But because the commotion 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 most severely affected, with almost all the windows in the dormitories shattered.

Next is Ravenclaw, which is half broken.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin's dormitories were in the basement, so they escaped unharmed.

When Professor McGonagall arrived at the common room in her pajamas, she immediately cast a suspicious glance at Siron.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Siron had a history of such behavior. The last time he conjured up that two-foot-long wand, it woke up half the castle.

This time it was even more outrageous; almost all the students in the entire castle, including the professors, were awake!

Faced with Professor McGonagall's questioning, Celen simply opened his dormitory door.

There was nothing inside. Although the tables, chairs, and bookshelves 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 Celen. What was even more suspicious was that several students had been watching Celen intentionally or unintentionally.

Although a glance isn't enough to prove anything, Professor McGonagall kept it in mind. She wouldn't dismiss the suspicion until she caught the culprit.

Perhaps because Hogwarts was about to have its holidays, the professors didn't investigate further. They left after restoring the dormitory to its original state with a few upperclassmen.

The castle was noisy and chaotic, and it wasn't until an hour later that it gradually quieted down.

But that doesn't mean the matter is over.

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

However, opinions on this matter are clearly divided into two camps.

"Unicorns aren't blue, and they can't fly." Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff felt the Gryffindors were exaggerating a bit, so he couldn't help but give them a little background information about unicorns.

But Gryffindor insisted that they had seen it.

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

Unlike the renowned Gryffindors, the Ravenclaws rarely boast, let alone that there were as many as twenty or thirty of them who stepped forward this time.

"I know this is absurd, but I really saw it with my own eyes." Cho Chang, a second-year student, is one of the most adamant Ravenclaws.

Just then, the unicorn flew past their dormitory window. She had never seen such a beautiful creature before. Its dark blue body seemed to be covered with starlight. The image was instantly etched into her mind.

So upon hearing Cedric's words, she stepped forward without hesitation. "Don't be so quick to dismiss things if you haven't seen them with your own eyes. Besides, this is Hogwarts; magic can create anything, can't it?"

"Um, sorry..." Cedric was speechless after being rebuked and could only apologize.

In fact, after people from Ravenclaw came forward to testify, he began to have some doubts.

Could there really be blue, flying unicorns in the magical world?

Now that Hogwarts is on holiday, he can ask his father, who works in the Department of Magical Creatures Control.

Meanwhile, in a corridor on the second floor.

"You did it, didn't you!" Fred and George found Celen, who was about to come downstairs, and asked aggressively.

"What did I do?" Xilun blinked innocently.

"Of course, it's the unicorn from last night." Fred stepped forward.

"You've been acting all mysterious these past few days, and you've hardly even left your dorm room."

"This also happened once during the Christmas holidays."

"Then your dorm room was smashed to pieces."

"It's happened again this time. You dare say it has nothing to do with you?"

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

"We're not as easily fooled as the professor," George added.

In the past, Xiren would probably have readily admitted it, adding, "So, you're planning to report me to the professor?"

But he really wasn't in the mood today, so he made up a few excuses to brush off the Weasley brothers and left.

Fred and George also seemed to notice that Siren was not in good condition; his pale face and listless appearance were not much different from Harry's when he was sent to the school hospital.

So they didn't press the matter further, only saying that they would visit Xilun after the holidays.

As Siren mentioned before, he lives in Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, which is easy to find. For people connected to the Floo Network, he's no different from a neighbor.
