A day at Hogwarts

At lunchtime, Snape did not show up in the cafeteria, and even Dumbledore disappeared.

At the Gryffindor table, Seamus waved the chicken leg as a magic wand, and told everyone how Charles saved Neville and himself just now.

"Good job!"

"Not bad!"

The Weasley twins kept adding chicken legs and steaks to Charles's plate as they spoke.

Fred said: "It turns out that you are so powerful. In the afternoon...we will feel relieved when we study the bags."

George also said: "Maybe we can... have a more in-depth study."

Liuwa looked at Siwa and Wuwa suspiciously, feeling that they were talking about something else.

After lunch, Charles and the twins were about to walk out of the castle when they met Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Weasley," said Professor McGonagall with a serious expression, "please come to the office with me. I need you to explain why the fire in the fireplace in the common room can freeze the water."

Fred and George fell in love immediately.

Professor McGonagall asked Charles again: "Where are you going?"

Charles and the others already had an excuse: "Professor Sprout approved me to plant some moon dew flowers in the open space near the greenhouse, and I asked the two Mr. Weasleys to help weed."

He just handed over the marked map to Professor Sprout before lunch, and all the herbs were correct, so the professor pointed out a piece of land on the map to him.

Professor McGonagall has no doubts. Sprout told himself about this at lunch, and joked that Charles should just transfer to another school.

So Charles could only walk out of the castle by himself and go to the greenhouse to have a look.

The piece of land that Professor Sprout gave was quite nice, not far from the stream flowing from the Forbidden Forest, which bypassed the back of the castle and finally flowed into the Great Lake.

Charles looked at the creek and thought for a long time. Maybe he walked along the water and walked a little into the Forbidden Forest.

As soon as this idea popped up, he couldn't hold it back, and his curiosity about the Forbidden Forest quickly gained the upper hand.

He looked around, but there was no one there, so he picked up his wand and walked along the stream towards the Forbidden Forest.

It was already autumn, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground, and some small plants began to wither.

The surrounding trees are very tall, and the roots on the ground are criss-crossed and covered with moss.

From time to time, a speckled bird flies by in the forest. It makes no sound, so it should be the soundless bird.

From time to time, there are dead trees falling in the forest, covered with bright or plain mushrooms.

Surrounding the mushrooms were several dead rats, the furball-like tufts performing scavenger duties.

Charles just took note of the appearance characteristics of those mushrooms not far away, and he would not touch them until he found out whether they were dangerous.

From time to time, black shadows appeared in the distance of the woods. They were Thestrals raised by Hogwarts.

Occasionally, a white figure will appear, which is probably a unicorn.

Charles walked a long way unknowingly, and came to the source of the creek, a small lake half the size of a football field.

Suddenly, there was a girl's scream not far away!

Charles was taken aback, wondering if there were other students here too?

He ran over in a hurry, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

Beside a blueberry bush, a centaur girl was using a bow and arrow to confront five acromantulas that were about the same size as hers, but these spiders had already surrounded her.

At the moment when the white spider web was about to touch the centaur girl's body, a huge force pulled her up out of thin air, flew out of the encirclement and landed on the lakeside.

Seeing that the dinner was flying, the acromantulas hurriedly turned around and saw Charles who could also make dinner, so they rushed towards the lake.

The corner of Charles' mouth twitched, and now he knew where the old man went to buy groceries.

He used his wand to release a flying spell towards the fastest and largest acromantula, followed by a throwing spell, smashing the second fastest one and rolling it all over the ground, knocking down the third one along the way .

Then he released a combination of the floating spell and the street spell on the fourth acromantula, smashing it hard to the ground, making a sound like a water bag cracking.

At this time, the fifth acromantula rushed over from another direction. Charles turned around and used the Flying Curse on the quiver at the waist of the centaur girl, took out all ten arrows, and then cast them with the throwing spell.

The sharp arrow pierced through the shell of the acromantula, and a crown seemed to grow out of its head, and it died on the spot.

The second of the three acromantulas at the beginning was crushed to death by his companions, and the third had already got up, but was immediately caught by the Flying Curse, and then thrown to a distant tree.

The largest acromantula was a little dizzy just now, and it continued to rush towards Charles after it regained consciousness.

The next moment, the sound of the shell breaking and the meat sauce being crushed sounded.

A group of centaurs with bows and arrows rushed over when they heard the girl's cry. When they rushed out of the woods, they happened to see a human cub throwing a big stone with a spell to kill the last eight-eyed cub. giant spider.

The horsemen turned around, and there were no living giant spiders around. One of them was crushed to death by a huge stone, the second one was also crushed by the giant object, and the third one was pierced by a branch. The body was hanging from the tree, the abdomen of the fourth one was like a broken bag with a hole in it, and the head of the fifth one was full of arrows.

Charles put away his wand and looked at the centaur who was inspecting the scene.

The centaur is bounded by the navel. The upper body is a human with dark skin, and the lower body is a horse. The coat color is the same as the hair. Different horsemen have different colors. They carry huge bows and quiveres on their backs.

All the centaurs were naked, including the girl.

Charles is also well-informed, so he doesn't lose his composure because of this, and he doesn't react too much to make them feel that he actually cares about this matter.

The centaur girl walked up to Charles and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for saving my life, otherwise I would have been eaten by the acromantula."

Charles thought that today was considered a hero saving the beauty, and said with a smile: "You are welcome, this is the guidance of fate."

He saw that the centaur girl looked about the same age as him, her skin was not as dark as that of an adult centaur, and her face could tell that she would be a great beauty in the future.

"My name is Twilight, what's your name?"

"My name is Charles Smith."

Not long after Charles and her exchanged names, the adult centaurs came over.

Twilight stepped forward and said to the leading uncle centaur, "Uncle Ronan, I was almost killed by the acromant just now, but this Charles Smith saved me!"

Ronan walked up to Charles, saluted him slightly and said, "Thank you very much for saving Twilight, brave pony."

Charles replied politely: "This is the guidance of the stars."

Ronan felt that he sounded comfortable and his attitude improved, and asked again: "Brave pony, have you ever been to the Forbidden Forest before?"

Charles shook his head and said, "I'm a first-year student at Hogwarts, and the stars guided me here for the first time."

Ronan invited Charles back to the tribe as a guest, and he should be thanked.

Charles was very curious about the tribe of the centaurs, so he happily agreed.

But what Ronan and the others did next made him a little confused.

The centaurs cut off all eight legs from the dead acromantula, and threw them into the lake.
