Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 94 Strange Clues

Harry was frightened by the sudden turn of events. He forgot that he still had the Invisibility Cloak, and kept running his hands around his body quickly. Finally, he found something in his pocket—it was the flute that Hagrid gave him, and it was also the flute he had prepared. The stuff used to make magic circle items.

Harry subconsciously blew the flute.

[Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts! 】

[Please teach us knowledge, only not from the devil! 】

[The ancient magic circle is omnipotent, endowing the devil with infinite power! 】

Harry's original idea was to use the flute to play the school song with the melody of "Symphony of Destiny", but he made a mistake again after the obscenity, and it became the devil's song with the melody of "Funeral March", that is, Toby Highmore professor.

Harry was looking forward to someone hearing his cry for help. What he was looking forward to most in his heart was the devil in the lyrics, even Mr. Al.

The figure seemed to be affected by the singing, he slowed down his pace, but quickly picked up his speed again, and rushed towards Harry like a dark bat.

Harry wanted to yell in fright, but he couldn't make any sound, and fell to the ground in fear.

Just then, Harry heard the sound of a horse's hooves trotting behind him, and something passed over his head and rushed towards the figure.

When Harry raised his head again, the hooded figure was gone.A centaur stood beside him, unlike the centaur Bane had seen before—this one seemed younger.His hair was platinum and he had the body of a horse with a silver mane.

"Are you okay?" The centaur reached out to Harry, trying to help him up.

Harry took several steps back in a hurry, Bain gave him a very bad first impression, and he was even afraid of the centaur in front of him.

But the centaur seemed to know what Harry was thinking. He said: "It seems that you have seen Bain, he is patrolling around here. I know Bain has a bad temper, and some animals died in the forest. And the new Hogwarts professor almost broke into our tribal gathering point, Baine inevitably overreacted—before this, no wizard has ever been so close to us, this is not allowed."

The centaur held out his hand to Harry again, and this time Harry didn't refuse.

"Sorry." He said awkwardly, "Uh, and do you know what that was just now?"

The centaur did not answer.His eyes were amazingly blue, like pale sapphires.He sized Harry up carefully, his eyes lingering on the sharp, prominent scar on Harry's forehead.

"You're the Potter boy," he said. "You shouldn't be here, the woods aren't safe at this time—especially for you. Can you ride a horse? It'll go faster that way."

"My name is Firenze," he added, bending his front legs and lowering himself so Harry could climb onto his back.

Suddenly, more hoofbeats came from the other side of the clearing.Bane limped out of the grass. He looked terribly miserable. There was a long gash on his chest, and blood was still oozing out—this must have been caused by the battle just now, haha It was the first time that Leigh realized Mr. Al's cruelty. Compared with Bain, Al's way of punishing the students could be called too kind.

"Firenzie!" Baine roared, "What are you doing? Thinking you're an ordinary mule?"

"This is the boy from the Potter family." Firenze said, "You are seriously injured, and you should return to the tribe for treatment as soon as possible. Besides, I have already said not to provoke the new professor, but you Just refuse to listen, you should know how vicious he would be when he really started, only with Dumbledore around—"

"This is the mission of being a centaur!" Bane still roared in complete disregard of his injuries: "We need to protect the forest, not be driven by wizards like you. Remember, Firenze, we made an oath , must not defy Providence. Do we not see the omens shown by the movements of the planets?"

Firenze suddenly reared up in anger, and Harry had to hold on to his shoulders to keep from falling off.

"Haven't you seen the dead animals?" Firenze snarled at Baine, "Don't you understand why it was killed? Or is it that the planet hasn't revealed this secret to you? I must resist that lurking The ones in our forest, Bane. Yes, I'll side with the humans if necessary."

Firenze finished, turning lightly; Harry clung to him, and they rushed deep into the woods, leaving Bane behind.

Harry had no idea what was going on.

"Why is Bain so angry?" Harry asked: "Also, what was that thing just now? Why do you hate Professor Highmore, and Bain even did not hesitate to fight him?"

Firenze slowed down, reminding Harry to keep his head down, away from the low-hanging branches, as if thinking.Finally, just as they were passing through a particularly dense bush, Firenze stopped suddenly.

"Harry Potter, do you know how those animals died?"

"I don't know," Harry couldn't help being taken aback by the odd question.

"I have observed the corpses of those animals." Firenze said: "They were so emaciated that they were forcibly taken from their lives, exhausted little by little, and died in weakness and pain."

"There is no doubt that this is black magic, extremely evil black magic. Bane suspects that this is the new professor who did it, but I know it is not him. He will not do things against Dumbledore's ideas. He respects Dumbledore." profitable."

Harry looked at the back of Firenze's head, which was speckled silver in the moonlight.

"But, who is the murderer?" Harry asked aloud his own doubts: "Why can't we use more common methods, such as... such as a full meal? Why do we have to take the lives of animals?"

"Because the murderer is also weak, ordinary food is no longer enough to do this, you must use other life to delay your life, so that you can drink another thing-one that will fully restore your energy and mana—something that makes you immortal. Do you know what's hiding in the school at this very moment, Mr. Potter?"

"The Philosopher's Stone! Of course - the Elixir! But I don't know who -"

"Can't you imagine, who has waited silently for so many years, eager to make a comeback? Who is clinging to life and waiting for the right time?"

For a moment, it was as if an iron claw had suddenly grabbed Harry's heart.Amidst the rustling of the leaves in the wind, he seemed to hear again what Hagrid said the night they first met: "Some say he's dead. I think it's pure nonsense. I'm afraid he doesn't have much humanity left in him, so He can't possibly die."

"Did you mean," said Harry in a low, hoarse voice, "that it was Voldemort—"

"Harry! Harry, are you all right?"

Hermione and Ron ran towards them along the path. Behind them was Malfoy, who was still terrified, and Professor Highmore, who had a sullen face. Al was standing on his shoulders, who hadn't participated in the previous battle injured.

"I'm fine," Harry whispered, only daring to sneak a glance at the expression on Professor Highmore's face, which seemed to be on the verge of a rage, dark and terrifying.

No one spoke, and Firenze put Harry back on the ground in silence. He didn't want to stay with Toby, but Toby didn't let him go, and strode towards him directly.

"What does Mars mean?"

He asked directly, his tone seemed to be threatening, as if Firenze dared to speak riddles like Ronan, he would attack him without hesitation.

Firenze watched Toby calmly.

"War," he said. "In centaur divination, Mars means war."

Toby narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was judging whether Firenze had deceived himself.

Just when a few people thought that another battle was about to take place, Toby said in an extremely calm voice: "Tell your leader Margaret, don't let me see Bane again. He shot at Al, please don't Let me see him again."

Firenze and Toby looked at each other: "The centaurs will not accept threats from wizards."

"You will," Toby said. "You must accept the threat."

After saying these completely unreasonable words, Toby turned around directly, and looked at the four students who were trembling with fright—this seemed to be the first time they saw Professor Haimer really angry, It used to be just pretending.

"Rush back to the castle now, your confinement is over."

Toby was in no mood to smile at them. He had just learned that something weird had happened.

All the dead animal carcasses were gone, not a single one was left behind.

It's like...someone didn't want them to find something on those bodies.

Whatever these clues were, they were definitely related to Voldemort.

Perhaps, this will also be an opportunity to find Voldemort.
