The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 306 take leave
The starlight shone on the entire centaur village, making everything in the village seem to be shrouded in a hazy mist.There is only a little bit of fire on the main road, which is that the people and horses hold torches to light the way to the altar.

As the flow of people came to the altar, the baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed on a wooden platform in front of the altar.Betty and Bane stood on both sides of the stage as the child's parents.

Of course, when almost everyone arrived, the baby's parents knelt down on the front legs of the altar and prayed silently.And all the horsemen in the clearing waited silently, only the slight sound of the breeze blowing through the surrounding branches could be heard.Even people like Ryan and Hermione who didn't understand the centaur ritual at all were shocked by this sacred feeling, standing there motionless and quietly.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, the patterns on the arch that served as an altar began to emit emerald green light spots like fireflies.These points of light then converged on a bare branch on the altar behind the arch.

After absorbing these green light spots, the branch grew tender green buds visible to the naked eye.Ryan heard Hermione gasping in disbelief. In all the books she had read before, it was said that the centaurs were good at astrology and divination, but it was never mentioned that the centaurs knew other magic.

At this time, Betty took a step forward and picked up the branch, and then dipped the branch with the clear water in the wooden cup on the table, sprinkled a few drops of water on the baby's forehead and read: "May the power of nature bless you, my child." .”

The drop evaporated quickly, but Lane felt the force of nature in the drop enter the child.This power increases the vitality of the child and helps him through the most vulnerable stages of infancy.

After blessing their child, Betty and Bain held the branch together and walked through the arch to the forest behind the arch.This woodland is different from other places. When other places are covered with thick snow, this small woodland is full of spring-like vitality.

Betty and Bain quickly chose a small piece of open space and planted the branches in their hands. After the branches were planted, they poured the glass of clear water just now into the small hole after planting the tree.The watered branches grew again in a ball of green light, and finally didn't stop until they were about the same height as Ryan.

"Thank you very much for coming to the tree planting ceremony of our newborn foal, and may nature be with us." Aunt Betty bid farewell to everyone holding the baby at this time.Ryan also left under the leadership of Wolfe after he stepped forward to greet them.

"The centaur can actually release magic, but why do the Ministry of Magic and most wizards never know about it?" Hermione asked Ryan on the way back. She felt a little incredible about what she saw today.

"Traditional wizards always regard themselves as superior to others. For example, they look down on people who don't know magic, and they also look down on those non-human intelligent creatures. Under the leadership of this arrogant mentality, they belittle or even ignore the power of other creatures. It's very natural. For example, in the British Ministry of Magic, if someone is placed in the centaur office, it means that his representative is not far from being fired. How do you think wizards can really understand other intelligent creatures in this situation? Woolen cloth?"

"Yeah, arrogance. After repelling other creatures and then classifying wizards. Why do some people always like to show their superiority by belittling others." Hermione expressed her emotion.

"Because they can only show their nobility by belittling others. Those pure-blood wizards have actually intermarried with Muggles, otherwise they would have been extinct because of a series of problems caused by inbreeding. It's just that most of the so-called pure-blood wizards are not That's all I'm willing to admit. The evidence is that there are very few wizards who still have the power of blood magic today. Faced with this situation, how can they flaunt their nobility without some extra tricks." Ryan said in a slightly disgusted tone .

It was early morning when we returned to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the lights in Hagrid's hut had long since gone out, and even the horses in the stables were asleep.Fortunately, this time is a holiday, and the professors are not strict in inspections.Let Ryan and the two of them return to the common room easily.

"Good night, and good dreams!" After saying good night, Ryan went straight back to the dormitory to sleep, and slept until lunch the next morning.Also thanks to the fact that it's Christmas break, no one has noticed anything wrong.

After the Christmas break, the second game day on February 2 suddenly seemed much closer.Based on what Percy had revealed, it was likely that some kind of fighting would have to take place this time.Because only when magic is used on people will it involve certain legal issues, and different places have different certifications for certain magic.For example, the Ministry of Magic in some parts of Northern Europe has a much smaller scope for black magic than the British Ministry of Magic.

But Ryan is not nervous about this. In terms of actual combat experience, he feels that the other contestants may not have as much experience as him.Even Durmstrang's students, who have the most combat experience, probably don't have the combat experience that Ryan has fought in a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The grounds were still covered with thick snow, but the Hogwarts greenhouses had been turned up to high temperatures in order to ensure the growth of those magical plants from warmer places.This also caused fine water droplets to condense on the windows of the greenhouse. Through the windows, everyone could only see a vast expanse of whiteness, and could not see the scene on the ground at all.

This kind of weather is naturally bad for outdoor courses, but I don't know if it's because Hagrid is in a good mood recently because of his love affair.For the first time in the class, he did not ask everyone to continue breeding snails, but introduced an extremely rare Golden Snidget to everyone.

Everyone, especially the Quidditch fans, is unabashedly fond of the bird flying at high speed in a giant ring cage.The Golden Snitch is known to be a replacement for the birds when they were endangered.

Maybe it was a little tired from flying, and the bird stopped on the crossbar in the cage.It was long and round, with a slender beak, golden feathers and ruby ​​eyes that gave the bird the appearance of a finely crafted jewel.

"Oh, it's so beautiful!" Lavender Brown said, "How did Hagrid get it? It is said that golden snitches are very rare now, and only some protected areas still have some."

"This needs to thank Principal Beauxbatons for his generous help." Hagrid's loud voice came over. "It allows us to see this very rare bird with our own eyes. Look at its feathers. In the past, many potions needed these. Therefore, their numbers have dropped rapidly due to indiscriminate hunting. Fortunately, everyone has found a replacement today. products, and began to understand how to protect them—”

The students are all looking at this beautiful bird from the cage. From Hagrid's lecture, it can be heard that he knows no less about this cute little bird than those monsters.

When the get out of class was over, every student expressed their satisfaction with the class.In particular, many girls hope that Hagrid can maintain this state, because those slimy snails are really disgusting.
