Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Centaurs are a kind of old-fashioned creature. They have extraordinary divination talents, follow the guidance of the stars, and are very hostile to wizards.

What Firenze asked Harry to do on his back was considered humiliating by the other centaurs.

"What are you doing! Firenze! You actually let a man ride on your back! Are you a mule!" When Baine, Ronan and other centaurs arrived, after seeing this, Baine

En was very angry.

"This is the Potter boy, Bane! We must get him out of the forest quickly!" Firenze said, "The sooner the better, it's not safe here!"

"We can't defy God's will, haven't you seen the guidance of the stars?" Bain said firmly and angrily.

"Firenze has his own motives for doing this. I believe him, Bain." Ronan seemed to be saying a very common thing.

"What does that have to do with us? We never pay attention to those things, let alone run around like mules after humans who get lost in our forests!"

"Bane!" Firenze was very angry and kicked the ground angrily, "Two unicorns! Two! Don't you understand why they died?"

"The stars have changed! That existence obviously has a helper, we must resist him!"

Firenze glared at Bain angrily: "Don't the stars give you an answer? You are running away, Bain!"

Bain wanted to say something, but he was probably angry, but Ronan pulled him back. Firenze ignored Bain and turned around, carrying Harry on his back and running deep into the forest.

Harry didn't understand what was happening at all. Why would a terrible person kill a unicorn and suck its blood? And why would a guy who looked as big as himself attack him?

What exactly is the guidance of the stars that Baine, Firenze and Ronan talk about? And why does Firenze say that the stars have changed?

Holding Firenze's neck, Harry asked his question. Firenze moved skillfully among the trees, but did not answer Harry's question.

After a while, when the two of them ran far away, Firenze slowly slowed down and suddenly asked: "Harry, do you know what unicorn blood can do?"

"I don't know." Harry shook his head, "I have only used unicorn hair and horns in Potions class."

Firenze's tone was a little erratic, and he said: "Only someone who has nothing but wants everything would do such a cruel thing as killing a unicorn. The blood of a unicorn can extend your life, even if you are dying, but it requires a lot of effort.

The price is huge. Because from the moment you drink its blood, you can no longer be called a human being, but an immortal, cursed being."

"But why did you pay such a high price? Who is that desperado?" Harry asked.

"His life was coming to an end, but he didn't want to die, but he didn't get what he wanted, so two unicorns were killed." Firenze explained, "The blood of unicorns has

It's time-effective, and the curse can be stacked."

"Although taking it again will bring him back to life, it will also make him weaker when he is weak. Therefore, he will try his best to get something that can completely restore his energy and mana..."

"Mr. Potter, do you know what is hidden in the school at this moment?"

"The Philosopher's Stone! But this doesn't make sense. Who would do such a thing!" Harry asked loudly.

"You should have thought of it, Mr. Potter." Firenze's voice suddenly trembled, "Apart from the person who cannot be named, who else would wait silently and hold on to life tightly?"

"Is it...Voldemort?" Harry's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was frightened. "But who is the person who cast the spell on us? This is Hogwarts!"

"We have no way of knowing what a person is thinking, not even magic can do this." Firenze sighed, "The trajectory of the stars is always changing. This is something that has never happened before."

"Then..." Harry stretched out his arm and was about to show Firenze the five-pointed star pattern, but before he could speak, he heard a loud shout.

"Harry!"

Looking around, they saw Hermione trotting towards them, with the tall Hagrid panting behind her.

"Harry! Are you okay?" Hermione asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Harry said to Hermione, then turned to Hagrid, "There's a dead unicorn in the clearing over there, Hagrid."

"I know, Harry, I know, just be okay." Hagrid was very excited, "Firenz, you saved this child."

"It's nothing, Hagrid." Firenze put Harry down, "In fact, he won't be hurt even without me."

After saying that, Firenze left. Hagrid took Harry and Hermione outside the Forbidden Forest and asked them to go back to the castle. Then he turned around and went into the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to see the dead unicorn.

Seeing that Hagrid was gone, Harry quickly took Hermione's sleeve and ran towards the castle. After running a certain distance, he slowed down. He stretched out his arm and handed over the five-pointed star that was still shining slightly.

Hermione looked.

"There are two wizards at the Unicorn! This was left by one of the wizards! Hermione, do you think this is a curse? Firenze didn't tell me!"

The moment Hermione looked at the pentagram, the pattern suddenly flashed a few times and then disappeared. Harry was frightened and rubbed it hurriedly, but there was nothing on his arm.

"Why is it gone?" Harry was still studying, but Hermione suddenly remembered something, her face changed drastically, and she pulled Harry and ran back to the castle.

Ron fell asleep while waiting for Harry and the others to come back, and was woken up by Hermione roughly. He saw the two people coming back in a daze, and just when he was about to say something, he saw Hermione take out her wand, and a faint white light flashed.

, a milky-white cover covered the three of them, and then disappeared.

"What is this? Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Another way to use the silencing curse, I started with..." Hermione suddenly stopped and turned to the two of them very seriously, "Listen! I'm going to say something very important now!"

"Harry, I may know who left that pentagram for you..."

"What? What's the five-pointed star? Harry, what happened to you in the Forbidden Forest?" Ron felt that everything was inexplicable. Harry quickly explained the matter again, and then said excitedly, "I think I understand.

everything!"

"That black shadow is Voldemort! Snape stole the Philosopher's Stone just for him! That wizard is not a good person either. He must be Snape's helper! Voldemort's lackey!"

"...By the way Hermione, you just said you know who the wizard is?" Harry was talking excitedly when he suddenly remembered what Hermione had said before and asked hurriedly.

"...Yes, Harry." Hermione seemed a little hesitant, "If I guess correctly, I do know who the wizard is..."

"Harry, he probably left that five-pointed star on purpose just for me to see..." Hermione whispered, "That's why it disappeared after I saw it..."

"So Hermione, who is the guy who wants to kill me?" Harry was very excited and asked Hermione loudly, "He is going to kill me! Hermione! He is going to kill me!"

"No, it won't happen! Harry." Even though she knew that the sound would not be transmitted outside, Hermione was still startled.

After looking around carefully and glaring at Harry, Hermione said, "Believe me, if he wants to kill you, you won't survive at all! Harry!"

"So, who is that guy?" Ron finally figured out what happened at this time, looked at the two tense people in front of him, and asked in a low voice.

"That's Ike..." Hermione sighed, "He once wrote me a note, saying that when I see the five-pointed star, I must believe him..."

Hermione raised her head, looked at Harry with her eyes, and said firmly: "I believe him!"
