Prologue
It was the last weekend before the new school year began and Hagrid had planned to work in the garden and tidy up his hut before the students returned to Hogwarts.
He always enjoyed this last weekend. It was the last days whenit was still peaceful and quiet but he was also looking forward to entering the crowded castle and teaching the students inthe new lessons he'd prepared for Care of Magical Creatures.
Hagrid spent most of the morning weeding his garden and fertilising his pumpkins, humming to himself, while he enjoyed what might be the last sunny days of this summer.
When he'd finished in the garden, Hagrid went back inside to take care of his hut. He put on his flowery apron and started off with the coffee table which was covered in letters he'd received over the holidays and intended to answer but hadnever got to it.
He smiled when he found the last letter Olympe had sent him. After putting her letter away, Hagrid found another letter which had lain underneath it.
He sighed as he read the signature. He'd received this letter about a month ago and had forgotten all about it until now.
It was from Mr Ollivander, the wand maker, and it was probably one of the last letters he'd sent since he'd vanished under mysterious circumstances.
Dear Hagrid,
You will probably be surprised to receive a letter from me. The reason I'm writing toyou is to ask for your help in findinga special material for wand-making.
I'm too old to go on aunicorn hunt now at my agebut I need new unicorn hair for my wands. And due tothe Apothecary closing inDiagon Alley last month, I cannot buy it across the street anymore. But if I am not mistaken you own some unicorn hair. If it isn't too much trouble, could you send me some strings of it? I would of course pay the regular price for it.
With kind regards,
Garrick Ollivander
Hagrid sighed again. He would have gladly sent Mr Ollivander the material he'd asked for. The only problem was that he didn't have any unicorn hair in his stores. So he would have to go into the Forbidden Forest where he'd have to find a unicorn himself.
While he continued tidying up he had an idea.
