Hogwarts: Nagini captured at the start

Chapter 89 Angry Young Man Ferencze

"Bane, didn't you see the unicorn's gruesome death when you were looking at the stars last Wednesday?"

"You stare at the night sky every night, how could you not know why the unicorn died?"

"I don't want to see the sacred creatures of the Forbidden Forest die tragically at the hands of evil forces anymore. Is that wrong?"

"Bane, Ronan, yes, if necessary, I will stand with the wizard and drive that evil fellow out of the forest."

Ferenze dug into the ground and roared.

"Ferenzer, I've said it before, the centaur swore an oath that we must never go against the will of Heaven."

Bain roared angrily, his face flushed and neck bulging. If Ronan hadn't stopped him, he probably would have rushed forward and punched Ferenze.

"Ha! Heaven gave us the gift of observing the stars and understanding omens, not to pass the time. I will never be a bystander to destiny."

After Ferenze finished speaking, he bent his four legs slightly and turned his head to signal Robin to get on.

"Ference, have you no shame at all? You actually let someone ride on your back?"

Ferenze didn't argue back. After Robin was settled on his back, he leaped over the bushes, leaving behind the melancholy Ronan and the irritable Bain.

As it ran, it bumped into Hagrid and his group, including Malfoy and Tooth.

"Robin, what happened? Malfoy said you played a prank on him and ran away. I know you're a smart guy, you wouldn't do something so stupid. And, Ya Ya was whimpering and biting his trouser leg, pulling me over here. What was that firelight just now?"

Luo Bin: →_→, Okay, you've become quite the character, even learned to play the villain by accusing others first.

"Oh, Malfoy and I just pushed aside the oak branches and walked into a clearing."

Robin briefly recounted what had happened in the open space, and incidentally shifted the blame for the unicorn's "corpse" disappearing into thin air onto the hooded monster.

"Ugh, that monster can swallow a unicorn whole?! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise... Ouch, that hurts, get out of there!"

Hagrid grabbed Malfoy by the ear and snapped, "Abandoning your teammates, concealing the truth—I'll tell Professor McGonagall everything you did tonight. And you, Robin, is your wand a dry twig? You can't even make a colored firework!"

"It's not his fault. Under those circumstances, he did a very good job."

Ferenze spoke up for Robin.

"Mr. Ferrenzer, does unicorn blood have any special effects? In Snape's class, I only used its horn and tail hair."

Hermione stepped forward and, after confirming that Robin was indeed unharmed, asked the centaur.

"I may tell you, but unicorn blood has a miraculous effect of prolonging life. It is not often seen in public because slaughtering a sacred and pure unicorn is an extremely cruel and cursed act. The moment your lips touch the silvery-white blood, even if you are already emaciated and on the verge of death, your life will continue, but you will remain in a state of half-death and under a powerful curse."

After Ferenc finished speaking, he looked up at the night sky and gazed at the planets behind the clouds.

"Being half-dead and cursed is worse than just dying and becoming a ghost, which would be much more comfortable," Robin remarked.

"That's true. But what if you drink unicorn blood just to prolong your life, giving you enough time to wait for something else to be concocted that can both extend your life indefinitely and restore your physical strength and magic to normal?"

The ability to extend life indefinitely is equivalent to immortality. The group immediately realized that the person who attacked the unicorn was the one who coveted the Philosopher's Stone.

However, Quirinas Quirrell, despite his neuroticism and frailty, did not look like someone on the verge of death.

"Frenzer, I know what another object with infinite life force is, but I don't understand, who would be so eager as to drink the blood of a unicorn?"

"Harry Potter, don't you really understand? Who has been lurking in the shadows for over a decade, clinging desperately to life? Who yearns to rebuild their power and make a comeback, attempting to control the entire wizarding world?"

Upon hearing this, Harry felt as if his heart was being gripped by sharp claws, the pain making him dizzy and causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

In a daze, he seemed to hear what Hagrid had said when they first met at the end of July last year.

There are rumors that he's dead. Hmph, that's pure nonsense. 'That person' has little humanity left; how could he possibly die?

A bold guess popped into Harry's head, and he said in a hoarse, deep voice, "You mean V.O.!"

Hagrid covered Harry's mouth, glaring at Ferrenze with displeasure. "Why bother with these things with the young wizards? Alright, they're safe now. I'll escort them back to the castle. Then, they'll have a couple of days to rest and prepare for their exams next week."

Ferenz knew Hagrid didn't want the young wizards to be exposed to too much dangerous information. After gazing at the night sky for a moment, it said, "I wish you all the best on your exams. Robin, in the past, astrological prophecies have been misunderstood. Even centaurs, who are born with the ability to 'observe the planets and understand omens,' can make mistakes, such as tonight's death of the unicorn. Well, you've rejoined the main force, and I still need to resolve some internal conflicts within the tribe. Goodbye."

Ferenze turned gracefully, her milky-white ponytail swaying, and disappeared into the dense forest.

Robin: Uh, as expected, the fact that the unicorn trap has been broken couldn't be kept from the centaurs. Fortunately, Ferenze didn't make it public. The other centaurs adhere to the philosophy of "revering destiny, following destiny, and observing all things from the sidelines," and they also dislike contact with humans, so there's no need to worry about anyone revealing the secret.

"Robin, what did the centaur's last words mean?" Harry asked, puzzled.

Robin shrugged, indicating he didn't know either. "Maybe you should ask Hagrid!"

"Don't ask me anything, I don't know anything, and even if I did know something, I wouldn't tell you. Hurry up and follow me back so you can go to bed sooner."

"Hey, what kind of riddles are you guys spouting? Blood, life, curses, prophecies—it's all about blood."

Malfoy, who couldn't understand what he was hearing, asked a question, but no one paid him any attention. Even Aww stayed far away from him.

Castle, eighth floor!

When Robin, Harry, and Hermione climbed out of the portrait hole, they found Ron, who had sworn "I won't sleep until I see him," sleeping soundly, so soundly that he was mumbling in his sleep.

"Shh~"

Luo Bin gave a soft shush, gestured to the two of them with his eyes, and walked over to eavesdrop without making a sound.

Then, the three of them crept up to the single sofa chair by the window.

"Ugh, foul! Flint (Snakes School captain) fouled. Player of the Year Ron is awarded a free throw. Goal! Ten points! Hehe, whoosh, whoosh, it's the big black ball! Thump! Crisis averted! Hey, the Golden Snitch! Ugh, caught it! I won! I got the trophy! I'm a hero!"

Luo Bin: →_→ Thank goodness it's a dream. If this were real, bro, even if you had three heads and six arms, you couldn't be a chaser one second, a hitter the next, and a finder the following second.
