As Wizette expected, week after Hagrid returned, Aragog finally reached life's end.
With Aragog's death meant Acromantulas in Forbidden Forest completely wiped out—forest would be safer than before.
Aragog was extremely complex existence for Hagrid—both like Hagrid's child and also like Hagrid's shadow.
Injustice and cold eyes encountered during school years didn't make Hagrid violent person.
He chewed and digested these experiences, finally transformed into gentleness, and fed back to Aragog and fed back to many Forbidden Forest creatures.
Precisely because of this, he could befriend various animals and centaurs also willing to communicate with him.
From certain perspective, Aragog didn't fail Hagrid either—Hagrid willing to trust Acromantulas because of Aragog's command that all Acromantulas cannot harm Hagrid.
But this command only limited to Hagrid—Acromantula colony's growth, for other Forest creatures, was disaster.
As long as Acromantula colony continued growing, might eventually affect Hogwarts—final destruction was foreseeable outcome.
For Hagrid, being able to accompany Aragog and walk life's final journey then hold funeral—
Whether for Hagrid or Aragog, counted as decent ending.
Wizette mastered unique technique—could use memories as link and establish magical connection sharing memories.
Through this method, during year-end period, he helped Luna master Animagus.
Luna also bird Animagus—appearance was beautiful long-eared owl, wore light brown fluffy feathers with fine white spots.
Pair of eyes large and round, bright pale silver, like full moon in night sky.
Both sides of head had ear tufts showing beautiful pale gold, like Luna's long hair—fluffy and smooth.
Call compared to other owls more ethereal, like softly sung serenade in forest.
Long-eared owl's size didn't look large—when perched on Wizette's arm, about same length as arm. Such physique agile enough and very suitable for flying through forest.
Completing ordinary Animagus only first step—if wanting to go further toward second form or toward magical creature form, remaining steps needed long-term planning.
Wizette didn't want Luna to bear any risks during this process.
In Snape's office, Wizette participated in new round of private lessons.
After routinely casting Patronus Charm, Snape casually asked. "What electives planning next year?"
Wizette answered. "Currently I've confirmed two electives—one is Care of Magical Creatures, other is Ancient Runes."
After entering third year, besides original required courses, needed to study at least two electives.
For next school year, Wizette naturally had new goals—one was in-depth research on bloodline magic.
Since involving bloodlines and magical creatures, taking Care of Magical Creatures very necessary matter.
Besides this, Runes also his research direction—therefore also confirmable elective.
Wizette originally planned to consult professors and happened Snape also asked related question.
"Don't choose Divination!" Snape frowned slightly. "If no Inner Eye and just choosing for sake of choosing, my suggestion is clean lavatories—at least that's not wasting time!"
"Then I choose Arithmancy?" Wizette blinked. "I asked Penelope them—Arithmancy's application range quite wide."
"Hmm..." Snape grunted, counted as affirmative response.
"By the way, Professor Snape..." Wizette took out several parchment rolls. "This is some thoughts about Patronus Charm..."
"I know this is Potions private lesson, but without your teaching, I couldn't possibly master such powerful Patronus..."
"So when I encountered this problem, I immediately thought of you—hope you can review and correct errors inside..."
Snape puffed cheeks and looked deeply at Wizette.
Words all said by Wizette—Snape exhaled lightly and slowly unrolled these parchments. "Patronus Healing Arts?"
"Using Patronus as 'needle' and inject potion properties into body, thereby achieve soul-mending effect—why did you think of this?"
Wizette told about Forbidden Forest encounter. "That unicorn had soul drained then, later I thought of Patronus, plus this magic can bestow properties..."
"Succeeded then..." Snape pressed lips, brow tightly furrowed. "Now cannot succeed because Patronus cannot penetrate skin—right?"
"Right!" Wizette nodded.
Snape slowly spoke. "Unicorns different from us—its curse originates from own purity..."
He didn't directly explain problem but instead began analyzing unicorn magical creature.
Many materials usable for potions—as Potions Master, his understanding of various magical creatures wouldn't lose to ordinary magizoologists.
Just their ways of viewing magical creatures had major differences—Potions Masters usually more focused on medicinal parts.
Snape's explanation continued. "This purity extremely rare and lets it naturally possess ability to seek benefit avoid harm, but not much—after all not strong enough itself..."
"It approaches equally pure people while keeps distance from polluted people, because this purity will be tainted by pollution..."
"If moonlight sufficient enough, it can even survive long period through bathing in moonlight..."
"So..." He gave long sound. "Now know where problem is?"
Wizette finished last note and nodded lightly. "Is unicorn subconsciously absorbing Patronus and related Soul-Soothing Draught properties—doesn't that mean..."
"No!" Snape shook head. "Your thinking no problem—understanding of Patronus very appropriate. At least I understand what you want to do."
"If thinking no problem..." Wizette frowned slightly and re-examined these parchments. "That means need some other things..."
Knock knock knock!
Just then, knocking suddenly sounded.
Outside door was Dumbledore's voice. "Wizette, your Animagus certificate arrived."
"Animagus certificate?" Wizette somewhat confused. "I previously asked Professor McGonagall—seems would be sent by owl to my hands. Did it get sent to wrong place?"
