I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Firenze greeted Harry as he had done with John.

When the door is closed, it means the class begins.

Firenze did not hide the news of his expulsion, but he brought it up on his own initiative.

The students were very interested in the centaurs. Harry's roommate Dean asked eagerly, "Does Hagrid feed you like the Thestrals?"

John wanted to pull Malfoy over to him, that kind of weak and reckless question was really suitable for a Gryffindor.

"I didn't, I meant, I'm sorry."

Fortunately, Dean still had some brains. When he saw Firenze slowly looking at him, he realized his mistake.

"Centaurs are not servants or pets of humans." Firenze, who was probably the one with the best temper among the centaurs, said it quite calmly.

Parvati raised her hand to ask, she wanted to know more why Firenze was exiled.

Firenze was exiled because he agreed to work for Dumbledore.

Having said that, Firenze didn't want to continue talking about this topic and started the class.

This classroom used magic. He raised a hand and the light around him changed and dimmed.

The stars are displayed on the ceiling and it looks very beautiful.

John didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, listening to the gasps and exclamations around him.

Ron yelled dramatically, and Firenze told them to lie down.

They were to learn to observe the stars, which was completely different from what Trelawney taught them.

At the same time, Firenze mentioned the shining of Mars, which indicated that war would break out again soon.

They also lit sage and observed the choking smoke.

This class was lively and interesting, much better than Trelawney's.

Even Trelawney's die-hard fans Lavender and Parvati were shaken.

After class, John saw that Firenze had kept Harry back, and Ron was also kept as well.

There was nothing strange about him. Compared with himself, Firenze was better with the two people.

...

Harry wondered why he was left behind.

Firenze asked, "Harry Potter, are you a friend of Hagrid's?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded.

"Then warn him for me that his efforts are useless." Firenze shook his head and said, "He'd better give up."

Harry looked confused. What was Hagrid trying for?

"I wanted to warn Hagrid myself, but I've been exiled, and it wouldn't be wise to go near the Forbidden Forest now."

"But what is Hagrid working on?" Harry wondered if Hagrid had raised something again.

But Firenze refused to reveal it out of respect for Hagrid, and only emphasized that Hagrid's efforts were useless.

"John is also Hagrid's friend, why don't you tell him?" Harry asked after hesitating for a long time.

Firenze was silent for a moment, then said, "He is too dangerous."

"Danger?"

Now, not only Harry, but Ron was also confused.

To hear this word from the notoriously irascible centaur was like winning a Galleon jackpot.

Their understanding of John still remains on campus.

In school, no matter how talented John is, he is still just a student.

Firenze didn't want to talk too much about John, so he added, "He is more dangerous than any of the terrible creatures you have ever seen, Harry Potter. You'd better stay away from him."

Harry left with that sentence still in his mind.

"More dangerous than any horrible creature I have ever seen?"

He looked at Ron and asked, "What do you think he meant by that?"

"Although I also think John is not easy to deal with," Ron said uncertainly, "but he shouldn't be anywhere near dangerous."

It's rare that Ron says something that's smart.

They were now in a delicate relationship with John, and Harry also felt that it was too exaggerated.

Is it because John is too good?

He felt a tightness in his chest when he thought about how Snape often used John's excellence to suppress him during his Occlumency practice.

This incident was just an episode and they would forget about it after two classes.

By the time the Care of Magical Creatures class started, Hagrid was back to being cautious.

Trelawney's departure made him very worried that he would follow in her footsteps.

He has no prophetic bloodline, and if he is driven out he will be completely homeless.

John saw Hagrid's worry and comforted him during class: "Don't worry, you will be fine."

"That's not necessarily true." Hagrid glanced gloomily at Umbridge who was listening.

While feeding the worms to the Silent Bird, he muttered, "Sybill Trelawney has been expelled. I am now the lowest scorer."

He felt a little disappointed. Originally there was someone at the bottom, but now he was the lowest.

John didn't know how to tell him that if Umbridge fired Hagrid, his career as an investigator would end early.

Umbridge stared at the two guys who were chatting in front of her like no one else, and she really wanted to fire them all.

But thinking of John's threat, she could only bear it and make a note of it.

After class, John saw Harry walking back to Hagrid's hut, muttering that he had forgotten to take his book back.

Malfoy sneered, "Look, he looks like a comedy star."

The acting skills that even Malfoy can see, how bad it must be.

John could only say that it was an eye-opener.

...

In some things, Neville has a greater advantage than John.

For example now.

Neville, holding Marvolo's sword, looked at the door that opened to let in students one by one, the red gem glowing.

...

Chapter 339 Neville and the Room of Requirement

Today is the day when Dumbledore's Army gathers, and Neville is waiting here early.

He could confirm that this was the place he was looking for.

He saw Harry walk back and forth in front of the door three times, and the door would appear.

When Dumbledore's Army was dispersed and the last person walked out the door, the door began to disappear.

Neville stood in front of the blank wall and walked back and forth three times, imitating Harry's steps.

But he didn't see the door open, so he tried again, and the result was the same.

"Why is this happening?"

Neville wondered, "I want to go into that room."

He walked the same way again, and this time he stopped and the door appeared.

He was slightly startled, and then thought that he might have triggered the conditions.

Without caring about anything else, he walked forward and opened the door.

Marvolo's sword lit up for a moment, then dimmed.

Neville was full of doubts. He walked out of the room again. The moment he walked out, the gem lit up.

“It lights up every time you pass through.”

With doubts, he went in and out again.

Tried several times, still the same.

He entered the room, which was a practice room.

He saw ten human-shaped targets with marks of practice on them.

Neville felt a little guilty, as if he were a thief.

He searched inside, even the bookshelves.

But Marvolo's sword did not light up again.

Neville carefully recalled what had happened before he entered the room.

"Is it because of what I'm thinking about?"

He walked out of the room and repeated the test, this time waiting until the room disappeared.

He walked down the corridor three times again, silently reciting the room he had just visited.

After three times, the door appeared.

He understood that this door would only appear after he went back and forth three times as he thought in his mind.

"If this is the case……"

Neville frowned, wondering how he could find the place where the thing was hidden.

Thinking of this, he waited until the door disappeared and walked back and forth again.

“I need a place where I can find stuff.”

The door that appeared this time was different from the previous one. He walked in and saw many spyglasses placed inside.

Marvolo's sword lit up again and then dimmed, and Neville knew he was looking in the wrong place.

He hurried out and waited for the door to close.

As he was preparing for his next attempt, he heard a cry of surprise from a young wizard.

"Oops, Filch."

"He found us, run away!"

"Hehehe, where can you escape to?"

Two unlucky Gryffindors were caught, and judging by the sounds they should be on the seventh floor.

Neville didn't bother to continue the test. He lowered his footsteps and walked quickly towards the Gryffindor Tower.

A second before the Fat Lady closed the door, Neville saw Filch, who was originally on the seventh floor, appear on the eighth floor.

And was stopped at the door.

This made Neville break out in a cold sweat.

"John shouldn't have given him those shoes."

Neville muttered something and went back to his dorm to rest.

Harry saw Neville coming back and asked, "Neville, where have you been?"

"I'm going out for a walk," said Neville.

"I hope you didn't run into Filch," said Ron.

"Yes, I almost got caught." Neville looked scared.

This sentence was like turning on a switch, and Dean said that he was caught by Filch last time when he just showed his head.
