Everything was ready for the ritual. While Dylan extracted the unicorn's horn, which would be useful for countless potions, Albus passed Scorpius the silver knife he had stolen from dinner, and he sliced open the creature's ribcage, letting the warm insides spill out onto the snow, staining it red. Dylan went to light two black candles and jammed them into the icy surface. He pulled out the folded parchment containing the translation of the ritual from his pants pocket and, using a Dark Spell, sucked the precious unicorn blood into his wand. From an inside pocket of his jacket, the Ravenclaw also pulled out their most important weapon.
