Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 201 June is the time to close the net

"Hello, kid."

As soon as Bree came to the basement, he saw a centaur. His face was not good, and he was pale with disappointment. The direction he came was obviously Snape's office.

Noticing Bree looking in the direction he came from, Firenze shook his head and said: "This is not what you should be curious about, kid. Go back to bed. I heard that the curfew punishment at Hogwarts is not easy."

"Well, sir, I just came to the kitchen to eat something. I won't waste my rest time. Thank you for your kindness." Brie interrupted Firenze's worries.

Firenze suddenly stopped talking, observed Bree carefully, and suddenly remembered the time two years ago when the werewolves besieged the unicorn.

Brie, who was still a child at the time, also participated and even played a key role.

"I'm Firenze, maybe you remember..."

Firenze sighed: "Two years are not worth mentioning for the movement of Mars, but it has changed too much for living beings."

Bree, who has grown from a child to a teenager, smiled slightly. He felt that Firenze was slightly different from other centaurs. Although he also had some characteristics of the divination race - the gods and gods, he was more like a person on the road of life. A wandering poet with very gentle emotions.

"Sorry for disturbing your meal time, my child who is close to nature."

A red light flashed in Firenze's eyes, and he looked surprised, as if he had seen something, but he quickly stopped his expression of sigh.

Bree felt a gaze from above. It was very weak, very ordinary, and had no magic power.

"That's the gaze of Mars, and I had a brief exchange with it just now."

Firenze bowed his head slightly to Bree and quickly walked around Bree.

"Firestar told me that you don't want to communicate with me too much now. I have to go find my people."

The sound of clicking on the floor faded away. Bree sniffed the dissipating smell of blood in the air and turned towards the kitchen. Bree was wondering why centaurs came to Hogwarts for help every time something happened.

"Is it the content of the Forbidden Forest Contract?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Bree's eyes, and she thought to herself: Maybe this is really the case, otherwise it cannot explain that the Forbidden Forest Contract is in the hands of the principal of Hogwarts.

Soon, Bree came to the kitchen. It should be no problem for Dumbledore to handle the centaurs' affairs. After all, Dumbledore would never let the Forbidden Forest lose control.

It didn't take long for food to be placed on the table, and Bree was eating while looking at the book Dumbledore had given him.

"The Red Loyalty Curse is a rule-based ritual magic with a mysterious origin and is very ancient."

Slowly flipping through the book, most of them introduce some bizarre hypotheses about the origin of the Red Loyalty Curse, and the rules of magic rituals are at the end. The key points are superb magic control and talent. This magic is very complicated. If you are not sensitive to magic, People can only learn through time and practice.

Bree flipped through it carefully, glancing curiously at some of the origin speculations.

"Look what Dumbledore said. The Fidelity Charm is a magic that hides a place in the heart. Ancient legends always associate it with God, but I hope it is the power to stick to the heart."

As expected of Dumbledore, perhaps Dumbledore meant that this was the power of love.

However, Bree felt that the Red Loyalty Curse was more similar to God, and the rules should not be controllable by mortals.

……

"did you find it?"

On the eighth floor of the quiet Hogwarts Castle, several centaurs were whispering to each other.

"We must catch her, otherwise the moon will be full in a few days, and the werewolf's power will become stronger by then!"

"So many centaurs in the clan were scratched by werewolves, if the blood of the centaurs hadn't suppressed wolf poison, I'm afraid..."

"Stop talking about this, follow me. According to the patriarch's instructions, I have brought something that can make the little wizards sleep."

"Hey, where is Firenze?" a centaur asked.

"Tsk!" One of the centaurs said with disgust and pride, "Fierenze?"

"Don't you know Firenze's temperament? He is a rebellious guy. The master dare not leave this matter to him. Wizards are cunning. If it weren't for the Forbidden Forest Contract, we wouldn't have come to Dumbledore!"

The Forbidden Forest Contract can suppress all creatures in the Forbidden Forest. This is a restriction, but under normal circumstances Hogwarts will not use it. But this time, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest attacked the centaurs. Centaurs hate war. Fighting and retreating, he came to Hogwarts for help in desperation, hoping that Dumbledore could bring the Forbidden Forest Contract to punish the werewolves.

As for the person they want to arrest now...

Dumbledore would not try his best to save the centaurs. It was already stated in the contract that all matters of life and death in the Forbidden Forest except wizards were fair.

So the centaurs could only find a way on their own. Under the guidance of Mars, they found that the thing that could suppress Wolfsbane was in Hogwarts. He was still a little wizard. Naturally, they would not kill the wizard, but they would use the little wizard to solve their clan's problem. This is something that must be done to save the injured Nei Ma people.

Soon, several centaurs sneaked into the darkness and sneaked towards the Gryffindor lounge. Firenze was lured away by them because they asked Snape if he had a potion to cure the centaurs' injuries. At this time, I was finishing my conversation with Bree and met Professor Lupine.

Firenze only felt that the professor in front of him was normal, but he seemed to be enveloped by a layer of moonlight, covering up his aura. This was Martian's message, and he believed it.

Professor Lupine felt strange. He was wearing a simple black ring on his hand. This was the heirloom ring of the Black family and the symbol of the Black patriarch. However, few people had seen it, and they were not the people in charge of Black. No one knows that it has a power - to cover up its own wolf bloodline.

When Sirius Black was the chosen heir of the Black family, he naturally knew the origin of the family and knew the secret. When he learned that his friend Lupine was a werewolf, he was so impulsive that he wanted to steal the ring from his father and help Lupine. Unfortunately, he failed and was dissuaded by Lu Ping, so he gave up.

"Are you?" Lupine naturally knew that Firenze was a centaur, but he just wanted to ask what the bloody centaur was doing at Hogwarts.

"Sorry, I came to Hogwarts with my clan members because of clan matters."

Lupine nodded understandingly.

"In this case, since Hogwarts allows you to enter, I have nothing to say." Lupine smiled gently. He was a werewolf who was much more dangerous than a centaur.

"Sorry, I have to go find Professor Snape, excuse me."

Lupine bypassed Firenze and was about to go downstairs. When Firenze heard Luping's words, he immediately said: "Can you do me a favor, professor?"

"Please tell me." Lupine said politely.

"Please ask Professor Snape if there is any medicine to cure wolfsbane. We centaurs are willing to exchange for potion materials." The centaur smiled helplessly and continued: "I asked Professor Snape to take our clan leader there. Find Dumbledore, my people were a little rude to Snape and accidentally annoyed Snape, I don’t think he wants to see me now.”

Lupine raised his eyebrows when he heard the word Wolfsbane, but he thought Dumbledore said that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest had been restless recently, and asked him to patrol around the Forbidden Forest to find their traces, which made him understand. some.

This is when werewolves begin to attack other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping frowned. He felt that he had to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight.

Seeing Lupine frowning, Firenze was a little worried. He asked, "Are there any difficulties? Snape is indeed difficult to get along with, but he is the only Potions Master in Hogwarts. There is nothing we can do for him."

"Oh, no, I just thought of something else..." Lu Ping's eyes were dark and he said slowly: "I will explain it to Professor Snape later. Of course, if possible, can you tell me what happened to the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest? Resident, maybe it will take some time for Snape's reply."

"Well, originally this was not possible, but because werewolves have been raging recently, our clan leader will tell Dumbledore the location of the horse camp. If you get the answer, you can tell Professor Dumbledore. I think Dumbledore can pass it on to us."

Firenze lowered his head slightly and thanked Lupine, and Lupine also smiled slightly.

Naturally, Firenze would not directly tell an unfamiliar professor the location of his residence, and Lupine also understood the centaurs' concerns, but both of them relatively trusted Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts, so With Dumbledore in charge, Firenze doesn't worry about Lupine's mind.

At this time, Yana, who was resting, only felt her body getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't see the moonlight again even if she wanted to open her eyes.

It smells like a forbidden forest...

"Is this the little girl?"

"According to Martian's guidance, it's her. Let's take her away first. The clan leader should be waiting for us!"

Soon the centaurs took Yana out of the eighth floor and headed downstairs.

In the Hogwarts hall, Hagrid was wearing floral pajamas and a pink nightcap, waiting for the centaurs coming down from upstairs.

A special magic hid Yana on the centaur's back, making it impossible for Hagrid to find her.

Hagrid said with a hint of worry: "How about it, sorry, I was taking care of the caterpillars just now, and I didn't receive your rescue, but I rushed over as soon as I heard about it."

"Thank you, Hagrid." Firenze also returned to the team, but the centaurs chief still kept Yana's matter a secret from him.

"Oh, Firenze!"

Hagrid saw an acquaintance, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The centaurs were not in a good condition now, and the blood stains made him feel uncomfortable.

"We have to leave, Dumbledore can't help us." The Centaur patriarch's eyes were dark. He didn't expect to get such an answer after talking so much to Dumbledore. Now he felt uneasy.

"go!"

Without further words, the centaurs leader looked at Yana, whom only he could see, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. It was up to her whether the centaurs could survive this disaster.

However, an undue guilt flashed through his heart.

Thoughts fleeting, the centaur patriarch smiled to himself and immediately stepped out of the gate of Hogwarts.

Hagrid stretched out his hand, but before the words came out of his mouth, he saw the centaurs filing out, and Firenze nodded apologetically to Hagrid.

The centaurs took advantage of the moonlight to leave Hogwarts, leaving as quickly as they came.

Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore's office, the knock on the door rang again.

"Well, Mr. Aberforth?"

A character who surprised Lupine appeared through the opened door, and Aberforth just raised his eyebrows and glanced at the familiar Lupine, then shouted behind him: "Hogwarts is not suitable." Me, I’ll come see Ariana tomorrow!”

Aberforth quickly walked towards the corner, that direction was the Room of Requirement!
Lupine was a little surprised. He certainly knew about the Room of Requirement, but he didn't know that there was a passage leading to Hogsmeade.

"Come in, Remus, why are you coming to me so late?"

Dumbledore's voice reached Lupine's ears, interrupting Lupine's speculation about the secret passage and stepping into the office.

"Professor, I came to you to tell you about werewolves and centaurs."

"Oh, you met them." Dumbledore was still sitting behind the desk and said with a smile: "I will handle this matter, but I have to guess later. The traces of the werewolf have not been revealed yet, so it is difficult to take action."

What Dumbledore was planning in his heart, no one else knew, and Lupine would not doubt what Dumbledore said. Back then, the professor made him a werewolf to study at Hogwarts. For him, Dumbledore is a great benefactor.

"Professor, you asked me to search for traces of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest before. I think this attack on the centaurs is an opportunity."

"I met a centaur who was looking for Snape's help. I told Snape that Snape was willing to agree, but it depends on what potion ingredients the centaur comes up with. I plan to use this to go There is an ambush around the centaurs’ station, and I think the werewolves will definitely show up.”

Dumbledore half-closed his eyes and said with an unchanged smile: "This is a very good idea, then go ahead and do it. The werewolves in the outside world have become more and more rampant recently. Aberforth has discovered that they are in Hogsmeade." whereabouts."

Just now was the first time Aberforth met Dumbledore face to face, discussing intelligence calmly. Dumbledore also already understood the situation in the outside world. Maybe June would be the time to close the net.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore thought of Harry.

He frowned slightly, could Harry do it now?
He couldn't help but ask himself, but now the arrow was on the bow and had to be fired. Harry must have a motivation to become the real savior, and Sirius Black was the person closest to Harry in existence.

As for Harry's aunt, she can't touch her, otherwise the magic on Harry will disappear.

After thinking about it, Dumbledore sighed slightly and decided to take action.

"Professor, can you tell me where the centaurs are stationed? I think the centaurs' leader has told you just now."

"station?"

Dumbledore's eyes were stunned, and then he looked at Lupin apologetically and said: "I think you have to leave quickly. The matter just discussed has not been concluded. What the centaurs need is not in my hands, so I don't have it." News from the centaur station.”

Lupine's eyes widened and he hurriedly turned around and left the office.

Listening to the footsteps hurriedly leaving outside, Dumbledore laughed, and then looked at Fawkes' position, which had been empty for a long time.

"Old man, thank you for keeping you in the Forbidden Forest for so long."

Dumbledore stood up and walked behind him. He wanted to check on Ariana's situation now. Things at Hogwarts would have to be discussed tomorrow.
