People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning.

"Now." Neville looked pale and forced a smile, "more than half of the Transfiguration class has passed."

12 o'clock noon.

"Brother, you are amazing!" "I skipped classes as soon as I entered school, and the one I skipped was my own dean's!"

Inside the Great Hall, the Weasley twins exclaimed.

None of them dared to touch Professor McGonagall's sensitive nerves.

Although they played pranks, made trouble, and violated school rules, they were also good students who attended classes seriously and had excellent Quidditch skills.

"Isn't the point that he didn't get deducted points?" Lee Jordan stressed.

"Because Devin has a serious reason." Ron came over, his eyes red.

Being well-informed, he had already found out about Neville's parents and the reasons why they came to the school.

"He is also Longbottom. Didn't you notice that Neville is not here? He asked for leave to go home and be with his parents who finally left the closed ward of St. Mungo's Hospital."

Such a heavy topic made the atmosphere around them instantly awkward.

However, a hurried step, followed by excited voices, broke the atmosphere.

"Merlin's beard!" Percy's face flushed, and he lost all his composure. "You will all find it hard to believe that there is such a shortcut to wandless spellcasting! I dare say that once this knowledge spreads, Ollivanders will go bankrupt!"

(Olivander scowls.)

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and a spinning water ball appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.

"As long as the magic pattern is three-dimensional and then compressed into a flat surface, the [Spell Card] will take shape!"

"Ron, Fred, and George! You must study the ancient runes seriously!"

"What are you talking about?" Ron, who was still in his second year, didn't understand at all.

Fred and George had some understanding. Their prank props would use three-dimensional magic patterns - talismans. Compared with flat surfaces, these could better preserve the magic inside.

But compressing the three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional one will test one's spatial imagination and memory.

The two of them were already impatient to find a piece of parchment, do calculations, and deduce.

As for Hermione, she just frowned slightly and asked Percy, "What else needs to be done?"

"As expected of you, Hermione." Percy knew without guessing that Hermione had deduced a compressed flat version of the spell. "This requires the use of magic theory. Imagine that you have magic power, and then use magic power to move along the trajectory."

Huhuhu~

A small tornado visible to the naked eye appeared in Hermione's arms.

But Hermione was not surprised by the magic that appeared out of thin air, but by the spiritual world that she suddenly became aware of. It was the first time that she was so close to her own consciousness and her own soul.

Of course, it is also like her spiritual world which is not made up of thick books, but statues of Bagel in various postures and without any clothes.

Well, to be precise, it's not that she's not wearing anything at all, as the pages of books containing profound knowledge act as clouds, which sometimes just happen to float by and cover the key parts.

"Is that how you learned it?" Ron was shocked. He didn't understand anything.

Harry didn't feel anything.

For him now, so-called magic is nothing more than an instinct that acts at the first thought. Spell cards, as a shortcut, are not necessary for him.

More importantly, he already knew what a great wizard Hermione was.

He cares more about

"Ron, we should go find Hagrid."

"What?" Ron didn't react. "What does this have to do with Hagrid?"

"We should ask him." Harry's green pupils emitted a cold light as he looked towards the Forbidden Forest, "How long has it been since he last went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest?"

There he felt a strong magical force of fire and earth.

The last time this happened, a column of water gushed out from the bottom of the sea.

Since then, the ocean has been filled with the magical power of water that contains life force.

Just like the magical power of light that is everywhere after the appearance of the World Tree, it is pure, sacred, and filled with the breath of nature.

"Why are you coming with us to see Hagrid?" Ron frowned and looked at 'Devon'. He was never used to acting with seniors.

If it weren't for Neville, he wouldn't have agreed at all.

Devin carefully stepped across the lawn. A Hokklap burrowed into the ground with a rustling sound and the shaking of grass leaves. He explained, "That's because I'm curious about the Forbidden Forest. From what you said, it seems like you want to go in, right?"

"Of course," Ron nodded, "Now the Forbidden Forest is no longer off-limits. Because of the protection of the World Tree, the Magical Animal Protection Class and the Herbology Class have been moved to the forest. Professor Sprout transplanted many herbs into the forest."

(Ron was surprised, "He's not afraid of spiders?")

(Even though he was passionate about fighting beasts, it took him a long time to overcome his psychological trauma and dare to put his consciousness into the body of the All-Seeing One [the name of Ron's Acromantula].)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 374: The Flame Pillar Appears

(Seamus reminded, "Have you forgotten how Lucius Malfoy in this world died? He sacrificed his life along with those giant eight-eyed spiders.")

(Ron suddenly realized, "So there are no Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest of this world?")

("That's really" he looked at the head table and saw that Hagrid was not there, "brilliant!")

"Hagrid isn't here." Harry reminded Ron when he saw him heading towards the cabin, "Follow me."

Seeing Ron obeying Harry's judgment without question and following him, Neville was a little confused, "How did Harry find out that Hagrid was not there. Is there something missing in front of the door?"

"In this world, Harry is the closest person to the World Tree, so if he wants, he can even appear directly in front of Hagrid." Ron showed an unfathomable expression, as if he was the only one who could do this.

(Harry thought this was a little far-fetched. Before he became a warrior, he had the Love Spell, but it could only be used as a special attack against dark wizards, a shield that only appeared in front of them. He himself did not receive any additional blessings, and his grades were above average.)

(As far as he knows, Harry in this world showed a Jesus-like demeanor in his second grade, and his mother revived in the form of an angel. It is estimated that all the fragments of Voldemort's soul were evaporated by him.)

(Now, he is in sync with the [World Tree] and can find a person's trace for no reason and appear in front of him.)

(This is the savior in the prophecy, he himself is a fake.)

Neville was equally shocked.

But when he entered the woods, something even more shocking came to him.

"Such a rich life force!"

Wherever you look, there is a faint force of life permeating between the treetops and bushes.

The magical creatures we see, such as the Orb-Evoker, the Divining Bird, the Bowtruckle, etc., are mostly of different colors, and look like summoned beasts that are positively mutated by the influence of the [Force Furnace].

(Simo said enviously, "These magical creatures are of such high quality, if I could")

(Dean speculated, "Is this all due to the influence of the World Tree?")

In comparison, Harry's behavior of turning left and right instead of taking the animal path as if he was lost was not so surprising.

Harry stopped abruptly after passing a golden adult unicorn.

'Centaurs?'

Although he had never seen it before, Neville instantly recognized the creature in front of him.

Ron, Harry, and even Neville opened their mouths subconsciously.

It’s not because the lower body is a horse and the upper body is a human.

But it was because the person who appeared in front of them was a female centaur.

Centaurs have never had the human habit of wearing clothes. If it weren't for the waist-length white hair hanging down in front of his chest, Neville doubted whether he could remain calm and not have a nosebleed.

That beautiful face that revealed a maternal glow, the uncovered muscular but still soft white belly, and the huge thing behind the hair that trembled as the centaur moved forward.

(Hermione looked at the dazed boys around her and said disdainfully, "Isn't this just like wearing a bikini, or a more conservative one with more fabric. It's so exaggerated. Tsk tsk")

(Hagrid was a little surprised. Female centaurs always hid in the heart of the centaur camp with their children and never left. Even he had never seen them. How could they leave the camp in this world?)

"Who are you?" Harry's voice was a little hoarse.

For him who lacked maternal love, the centaur in front of him simply used full special attack on him.

"Delia," the centaur said softly, "a priest. But... how did a pony like you end up in the woods? I remember there were no students in Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology today."

"We're here to see Hagrid!" Ron, with red ears, chose to tell the whole story, "This is it, Harry"

("Hmph, what a waste~" Ginny sneered but did not forget to ask a question, "What is the Centaur's sacrifice?")

(This answer has not been known since the centaurs degraded themselves to beasts.)

(Even before, wizards were rarely willing to get to know humanoids who posed no threat to them.)

(But the dead who are history itself know this all too well.)

(Hesper Starkey, who first studied the use of the moon phases in potion-making, said: "I once used my gender family advantage to travel to the deepest part of the centaur camp to study the phases of the moon. Contrary to popular belief, the centaurs are actually a matriarchal society.")

("Centaurs are not known to use wands, but are highly skilled in magical healing, divination, archery, and astronomy.")

(“But in reality, centaurs can use magic for more than just healing. They can actually wield magic, just like goblins.”)

(“The reason why females never leave the camp is not because they are weak, but because they need to keep their minds peaceful and not be disturbed by worldly affairs.”)

(“They have a more outstanding third eye than males, which can be truly applied to all aspects of life and make predictions that eliminate all risks for the tribe.”)

("Thus, the physically stronger males go out hunting with bows and arrows, while the truly magical females take care of the young and lead the pack with their sharper third eyes.")

("The priest is the leader among the females, the best one, who needs to maintain the purity of the body and the purity of the heart, and the sharpest celestial eyes in the tribe.")

(After watching Hesper Stucky’s introduction, other viewers were even more confused.)

(That is why this important priest was away from the centaur camp, so close to the edge of the forbidden forest.)

(Only Baqir knows why.)

(The centaurs, a magical race with extraordinary inspiration and in tune with nature, were the first to offer themselves to the World Tree.)

(Female centaurs placed their hearts on the World Tree, gaining light energy and more powerful magic, while also liberating themselves. They no longer needed to meditate all day long, predicting the weather and possible dangers around the camp for the tribe, and knowing which centaurs to send out at which place and at which moment would yield good results.)

(And Delia even directly came into contact with the traces of Bajir deep in the [World Tree].)

(As a projection of his will, his property, and a witch who practices his path.)

(Right now, she is harnessing the natural power of the entire Forbidden Forest to soothe the ley lines, so as to prevent the upcoming [Pillar of Fire] from affecting the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts.)

Therefore, when facing other magical creatures, Delia seemed unaware of Harry, whom all humans were subconsciously afraid of.

From her perspective, Harry was just a brighter star, still a foal.

Just like humans are not afraid of an angry kitten.

Instead, Harry, the big head took control of the small head again.

I was overwhelmed by the majesty that seemed like the [World Tree] in front of me.

He also discovered that even if Delia was not wearing any clothes, there should be gaps in the key places where her hair should be covered, and the treasures hidden underneath could not be seen from any angle. It was as if they were covered up at the conceptual level.

(This is natural. As a witch of Bajir, her body can only be fully observed and touched by herself and her spirit.)

"That means you've discovered the changes in the Forbidden Forest and want to find Hagrid to learn about it." After hearing what Ron said, Delia understood everything. She looked at Harry in amazement, "I didn't expect that you wizards could actually detect the appearance of the Pillar of Fire."

If it were the old Ron, he would definitely complain, "What do you mean by wizards?" "This little world was built by Dumbledore!"

But now, he just nodded repeatedly.

If Delia said he and Draco Malfoy were a couple, he would subconsciously admit it.

Neville Harry was a little better.

Neville did this because he remembered that he was still broadcasting live and Hannah might be watching him, so he couldn't make a fool of himself.

Harry associated the Pillar of Fire with the towering water column in the waters of Hogsmeade.

Wizards have also explored that place, but just like the World Tree, it is impossible to get close to it. It is right in front of you, but the distance to it seems endless.

Approaching from below sea level is like approaching the edge of a small world. It seems that you are about to reach the next step, but you appear in another unrelated place: somewhere in Hogsmeade.

(This was deliberately designed by Bagir. After all, he is not as naive as the long-eared people. The pillars of the world will naturally not be directly exposed in reality. They are all integrated with the small world. Their entities in reality are all manifestations of concepts, between existence and non-existence.)

Could it be that this water column and the [Pillar of Fire] that Delia mentioned are the same as the [World Tree]?

So Harry asked, "What is the [Pillar of Fire] you are talking about?"

"The end of the forbidden forest is expanding." Delia said, "The [Sacred Volcano] will appear in that dry land. As a priest, I need to suppress the hot breath before the [Pillar of Light] appears."
