Well @DubiousAffairs, I don't foresee nose of a 3rd year Hufflepuff providing any concoctional benefit anytime soon (outside of a Polyjuice potion of course), though I am tempted to blast it off everytime it appears instead of a Bogart Cabinet...
@LeFayeofAlbion as long as we can still poach unicorns I'm good. My unicorn vest with polished horn buttons is absolitely FaBuLoUs!!!
Actually, @CytopeAchen , students could be useful. Get a snack from the Hufflepuffs, gold from Slytherins, focus from Ravenclaws... Can't be Books from Gryffindor unless you save Hermione, though
@CytopeAchen but we are not poaching unicorns! It’s just hair! It’s like collecting peacock feather (I mayor may not have a stash since I was a kid) it’s not like we are harvesting unicorn blood or, horror of horrors, cutting off their horn.
Getting hairs would be poaching only if you shave a Niffler.
@DubiousAffairs AND we have to save Tom Riddle. Sometimes I go evil and just watch the inferi try to get him. Also, it scares me that Voldy has a portrait! He is living on. He could move to other portraits! (I like to ponder who would dare paint Voldemort and after the painting was complete Voldy was like “You got my nose wrong! Avada Kedavra!”
@LeFayeofAlbion There apparently is an easter egg in one of the movies where you see Voldemort in a portrait in the Staircase. Then again, it's Prisoner of Azkaban, and many non-book-canon happened in that movie.
@DubiousAffairs wh.. why would they put a Voldemort portrait in Hogwarts? The PoA set design team has some ‘splainin to do. And if they are going to put it there at all and break away from canon, atleast give it a purpose! Maybe have had Sir Cadogan try to take on Voldemort in noble battle!
Or, you know, Fat Lady hiding behind Voldy after her encounter with Sirius. And Voldemort scoffing at the idea that Sirius worked for him, thus clearing Sirius’s name. (Oops, a nugget of detail and I wrote a micro fan fiction based on set design discrepancy!)
@LeFayeofAlbion Who knows... they're also the people who put talking shrunken heads everywhere, even though they are Dark Magic artifacts. (Somehow, I personally don't see the Three Broomstics, family-friendly pub, as a place that would have reanimated human remains instead of a note to tell students to sod off.)

Meanwhile they have us save pests like flesh-eating slugs (and students)!

@CytopeAchen that's one expensive high-viz vest!

Maybe they periodically shed their horns, like a dear, and it grows back! No poaching required.

@DodoMoJo meh, I think it’s more likely for unicorns to shed horns than Erumpents.
I’d imagine the poor baby’s brain would fall off too!
