[Comprehensive] Love between the two worlds

Curiosity can tempt cats to die, and of course it can tempt people to explore the unknown.

The mysterious and mysterious attitude of the unicorn seemed to put two small hooks in the hearts of Daiyu and Riddle, which made them feel itchy, and their original three-pointed curiosity turned into one-sidedness.

"Loosen my robe," Riddle said, "I can walk by myself."

The unicorn gave him a dubious look, and Daiyu said, "It's quite strenuous to keep biting, but don't hurt your teeth, we just don't go there."

Hearing what Daiyu said, the unicorn let go of its mouth happily.

At this moment, Riddle quickly grabbed Daiyu's hand, and the two of them rose into the air, quickly crossed the small lake, and flew towards the cabin on the opposite bank. Their backs quickly faded away and became smaller.

It's embarrassing for the unicorn to have a look of shock on all its faces. It froze in place, looking straight at the two people who didn't count their words.

Damn it!It knew that it couldn't trust the wizard in the black robe, but how could the girl beside him lie for him?Can couples help each other to deceive this unicorn?The unicorn was full of disbelief. It raised its head, neighed, set foot on the lake, and ran towards the two of them.

Riddle and Daiyu stopped on the shore and looked around.There are some wooden fences around it, but there are no crops or flowers inside, but some plants grow randomly like the outside of the bar.They carelessly surrounded the cabin.

It's a very old and run down cabin that looks like it has seen better days.Most of the wooden boards have cracks, and some broken pieces of wood are poked out at the joints of some structures.The house looks like it will collapse in the next second, and I don't know why it can still be preserved intact.

The door was not closed, but opened a small gap.Riddle reached out and knocked on the door, the damp door made a heavy "tuk-tuk" sound, but no one responded.Daiyu said loudly, "Excuse me, is anyone there?" But there was still no movement inside.

The unicorn landed beside them, flicked its tail impatiently, and let out a breath from its nostrils.

Riddle looked in through the crack of the door.At this time, the night was relatively deep, but fortunately, the moonlight was relatively bright now, and it was close to the lake. The lake water reflected the moonlight and illuminated the surroundings brightly.The furniture in the room is very simple, there is only a bed, a small table and a small stool, and nothing else. It is so empty that it does not seem like a place where people live.

Suddenly the door was opened, and a wrinkled face suddenly appeared in front of him, Riddle immediately took out his wand——

"Don't!" Daiyu said hastily, "It's an old man."

After a closer look, he was indeed an old man.He is thin, slightly bowed, wearing a reddish-brown cloth robe that has been washed white, and leaning on a cane in his hand.With a full head of white hair and a regular white beard, deep wrinkles on his face, but a pair of blue eyes are as clear as the sky.

He leaned on the door frame and looked at them expressionlessly.

Riddle frowned slightly. Are there humans living in the Forbidden Forest?

"Hello," Daiyu said nervously, "We are students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry next to the forest. We..."

"Excuse me..." the old man said slowly, his voice was hoarse and rough, and his pronunciation was very stiff, as if he hadn't spoken for many years, "Can you say it again?"

"We are students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and we came this time to meet the unicorn. We saw this wooden house, so we came to visit." Daiyu explained.

The old man looked back at the unicorn, and the unicorn nodded.Trembling, the old man walked up to the unicorn and stroked its mane.

"Hogwarts..." the old man said in a nostalgic tone, "I haven't seen you for a long time..." He coughed, cheered up and said, "Since you are a student of that school, come in and have a seat. "

Daiyu and Riddle looked at each other and walked in together.

The old man was looking for a candle, but he couldn't find it.Riddle illuminated the room very brightly with his wand.The old man then said: "There is only one stool, you can sit on the bed."

The bed was made of stone, with only a thin layer of sheets on it, and it was hard and uncomfortable to sit on.But it was kept clean.

The old man took out a stove and a kettle from a small box in the corner, skillfully brushed off the dust, and took them outside for cleaning.Daiyu is used to being served by others at any time, but she is naturally embarrassed to let an old man she just met busy, but she does nothing, so she hurriedly went to the lake with the old man.Riddle naturally followed and used fluorescent scintillation to illuminate the two of them.

Seeing Daiyu coming, the old man had a strange expression on his face.

"You look like a noble lady, but you don't," said the old man. "No one has ever done this for me."

The old man washed the stove and dried it with his robe.Daiyu cleaned the teapot.Riddle carried a teapot of water to the room.The old man picked up some dry branches.

He started walking around the stove, looking around for something.With a flick of his wand, Riddle blazed into flames in the furnace. "Are you looking for Flint?"

"Ah, yes," said the old man. "I'm so old I can't always remember where I put things."

Daiyu thought to herself that there should be no flint in such an empty room.Seeing the old man's appearance, she wanted to invite them to drink tea, but now she couldn't help but wonder if the old man had any tea.

Sure enough, after the water started to boil, the old man sat on the small stool and looked at the distance outside the window, as if wandering somewhere.He seemed to have forgotten that he still had two guests, and just sat there blankly without speaking.

Daiyu couldn't explain it, she just felt that the other party was really a weird person.

"Excuse me, have you always lived in the Forbidden Forest?" Daiyu couldn't help asking in an awkward atmosphere.

"Oh," the old man replied as if he had suddenly come to his senses, "Oh, no, I just come here for a while..."

"That's right." Daiyu said, "I thought you were the forest guard here."

"The forest guard?" the old man said, "It is enough to have the horseman here, and there is no need to add me."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she thought of the fierce centaurs.

"So why do you live here?" Riddle asked.

The water in the pot started to boil "gululu", the old man got up, took out two small wooden cups, and poured two cups of water for them—as expected, no tea was added.

"I am the guardian." The old man said, "I am not guarding the forest, but the unicorn."

"Do you guard all unicorns? Or does a unicorn have a guardian?"

"No, this one is quite special." The old man said, "My friend hurt it by being ignorant. Now that I am old and have nothing else to do, I am the guardian of this unicorn."

Daiyu sensitively sensed something was wrong in his tone, and asked cautiously, "Where's your friend?"

"If possible, I'd like to tell you where he is." The old man said blankly, "But I don't know about that either."

Daiyu and Riddle knew they couldn't ask any more questions, so they just drank water and talked with him about daily life in the Forbidden Forest.It's a pity that the old man didn't seem to be interested in this topic, and he wasn't active in answering the conversation, so he soon had nothing to say.

The two got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, the old man stood beside the unicorn and said, "I thank you for coming to see it. You can continue to play with it in the future. Remember to avoid the territory of the centaur, they will not attack you of."

Riddle and Daiyu thanked the old man, bid farewell to the unicorn and left.

It was late at night when we got back to Hogwarts.Riddle avoided the patrol of the corridor administrator and sent Daiyu to the top floor of Ravenclaw's tower.

Daiyu tapped the eagle-shaped bracelet, it opened its mouth, and uttered a question in a soft voice: "What is the largest organ in the human body?"

"Skin." Riddle said without hesitation.The door knocker closed its mouth, and the door opened automatically. Looking inside, the Ravenclaw common room, which has always been full of night owls, was already empty.

"Riddle, do you believe what the old man said?" Daiyu asked suddenly when she entered the door.

"I don't believe it," Riddle said. "An old man who doesn't know magic appeared in the Forbidden Forest and said he wanted to protect the unicorn. This is unusual."

"But I believe he won't lie." Daiyu said seriously, "I trust his eyes."

Riddle was stunned for a moment, Daiyu said "good night, see you tomorrow", and ran into the common room lightly, and walked upstairs to the dormitory.
