Chapter 53: Firenze the Centaur
In the early morning, the night faded in the sky above Hogwarts Castle, and the light of the stars gradually dimmed. A ray of sunlight quietly passed through the clouds in the sky, slantingly shining in the dense forbidden forest.
However, Hogwarts' forbidden forest is not as peaceful as the surface, and the atmosphere deep inside is extremely solemn and tense.
"Hagge, now you lower your head and look at your friends and look at Ronan's painful look!" Bain stared at Hager's unshaven face and asked sternly, "Do you still think that such a cruel existence is just a harmless Professor Hogwarts?"
Hager hesitated for a moment, but then realized that Dracula was his own person who was trusted by Dumbledore, and the Horseman was actually just outsiders.
His eyes were firm, trying to justify Dracula.
Hagrid and Bain quarreled, but they suffered from their stupid mouths and their necks were flushed and they never said Bain.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up his language communication with the horse man, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a big fight with Bain.
At this moment, the encirclement of the horsemen silently separated a passage.
"Enough, Bain!"
A horseman with extremely outstanding appearance came over the passage and said in a gentle but suppressed voice.
His hair was platinum and a silver-maned horse body.
"Why are you here, Ferenze?" Bain asked in confusion at the horseman.
"We are the ones who start the game first, Bain. There is no need to be strong on their own because of the skills of others." The platinum-haired horseman named Feilunze did not answer Bain's question and directly entered the topic. "The war is coming. We cannot impose crimes that do not belong to others because of the prejudices we have formed all the time. This will only benefit our real enemy, the fisherman!"
"Do you know what you are talking about, Ferenze?" Bain said angrily, "Remember, Ferenze, we have made a vow and must not disobey God's will! Do you think I have not seen the omen indicated by the planet's orbit?"
Hearing this, Ronan, who was still lying on the ground, looked up at Dracula, his face became a little uneasy, and he kept digging the snow on the ground with his hooves.
Not knowing what mechanism Bain's words touched, Ferenze's face instantly sank, and he was so angry that he suddenly stood upright with his hind legs.
"Didn't you see that unicorn?" He roared to Bain, changing his gentle tone, "Don't you understand why it was killed? Now I really doubt you are so stupid that you can't see the secrets revealed in the planetary trajectory!"
"I must resist the guy lurking in our forest, Bain. Yes, if necessary, I'll stand on the side with any ethnic group that might be connected!"
After Ferrenze finished speaking, he ignored Bain and walked straight towards Dracula who was surrounded by the horseman.
"This professor, please let Ronan go once, and I will guarantee you to leave the Forbidden Forest safely." He bowed slightly to Dracula, then looked at Dracula's eyes thoughtfully.
"Ferenze, you'd better know what you're doing!" Bain saw this scene and continued to sternly, "What does that matter have to do with us? The horses have always been neutral, and they only care about the prophecies of the astrological signs! We don't have to go against the principles of the clan in order to fight against the enemy of the wizard and join those evil creatures!"
However, Ferenze was too lazy to pay attention to him at this time, but he just stared at Dracula's burgundy pupils with his amazingly blue eyes, which looked like a faint sapphire.
Looking at the unusual horseman in front of him, Dracula chuckled softly.
"I didn't expect that there would be interesting horse people like you in this stubborn and old tribe." He glanced at the nervous horse people around him, and said to Ferenze with a chuckling, "For your sake, this matter will be like this today. Of course, if there is another time, I will not leave any kindness."
At the last sentence, Dracula's tone became extremely cold.
Bain opened his mouth in anger and wanted to express a few more rebukes and mocking words, but he suddenly found a sharp teeth in his ear and a tiny bat flapped his wings and flew over the Forbidden Forest.
He felt the breath of extreme darkness and danger from the bat's teeth, but he had no sense of it before.
As the first tiny bat flew away, the sound of vibrating its wings was endless. Countless smiling bats flew over the forbidden forest where a little bit of sunlight was faintly exposed, and turned into a piece of powder under the sun and disappeared.
Bain noticed that every bat flew out of the horseman's ears. None of the horseman was dropped, and each had a bat corresponding to it.
He looked at the sharp teeth of these bats and felt their dark aura. He was shocked and subconsciously looked at Ronan lying on the ground with a consultative look.
I saw Luo Nan's face looked solemn and shook his head at him.
Bain raised his hand and stopped the horsemen's quest to pursue, watching Ferrenze lead Dracula and Hagrid disappear into the shadows blocked by trees not far away.
"Ronan, did you not let me act rashly just now because you knew those evil bats?" Bain stared at the distant back of a horse man, a vampire, and a mixed-race giant. As soon as their bodies disappeared, he quickly walked to Ronan and bent down to ask.
"Well, if my judgment is correct, those small bats are the kind that the legendary vampire used on the two patriarchs more than a hundred years ago." Ronan said with difficulty.
"If it weren't for Ferrenze's appearance, he would have turned all of us horsemen into vampires!"
...
On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Dracula bid farewell to Ferenze and Hagrid, held up a parasol and strolled on the Hogwarts campus under the faint spring sunshine.
It was Wednesday and he had a lesson in the afternoon. It was the Black Magic Defense class for the first grade wizard of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
When Dracula came to the classroom, all the first-grade wizards had already arrived, sitting upright and neatly offering attention to their professor of black magic defense.
Dracula nodded with satisfaction and picked up the lesson plans and textbooks that Qiluo had prepared diligently from the podium.
He rarely reached the position he should teach in this class according to the progress of the lecture.
At this time, Harry, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly raised his hand.
"Mr. Porter?" Dracula looked at him in confusion.
"Professor, Hagrid told us at noon this day that some animals with dried blood appeared in the Forbidden Forest, so we can stay away from the Forbidden Forest." Harry said, "Hermione said that only vampires can do this kind of death. We want to know if there are really vampires in the Forbidden Forest?"
Hearing Harry's question, Dracula's mouth twitched.
He did not expect that Hagrid, who was "secured" and did not hold on for even half a day, and directly told Harry and the three little wizards about the Forbidden Forest.
Of course, Hagrid's original intention should be good. He didn't want these three unhonest little wizards to get close to the dangerous Forbidden Forest, so he revealed some of the Forbidden Forest situations, hoping that they would be afraid.
...But what he didn't consider was that this level of danger could not stop Gryffindors of the three Gryffindors from the desire to die, and even more likely, it would further arouse their curiosity.
In addition, the innocent vampire was once again involved, and the Count expressed his displeasure and was very unhappy!
So he signaled Harry to sit down, disrupted the teaching plan again, threw the lesson plan written by Quirrell aside, and then turned the "Black Magic: Self-Defense Guide" on the podium to the end-
"Since Mr. Porter mentioned vampires, let's talk about vampires today." He said to the young wizards in the audience, "Turn your textbooks to the penultimate chapter!"
The little wizard in the audience has long been used to Dracula's lecture method of not playing according to routines, and he quickly opened the catalog.
There was a sound of flipping through books in the classroom.
"Before starting the lecture, can anyone preview this lesson tell me how the magic world defines vampires?"
Given that Dracula had never read the textbook for this lesson, he thought of a good idea temporarily and wanted to quickly understand the content in the book.
He turned his eyes to the witch with messy hair in the first row.
Hermione did not disappoint Dracula's expectations. She previewed the content of this chapter more than once early and quickly raised her hand:
"Vampires are dark creatures that feed on the blood of creatures. They fear the sun and cannot go out during the day, so they often roam and forage at night, piercing the victim's throat with their sharp teeth..."
Dracula was listening to the wizard who compiled the textbook's view of vampires with interest, but as he listened, he felt something was getting worse and worse, and his face gradually became darker.
He quickly browsed the textbook and saw the words on it-
"Vampires are dark magical humanoid creatures known for gnawing on human necks and sucking blood. Together with zombies, they belong to the category of living dead creatures, which are highly contagious and highly dangerous..."
Dracula exhaled and suppressed his irritable mood.
"The definition is very good, add one point to Gryffindor." He interrupted Hermione's endless recitation and said in response.
Hermione was in a state of excitement, but she was still a little unsatisfied after being interrupted. Moreover, the bonus points this time seemed too stingy, and she felt like a beggar who was sent.
However, Dracula's historical deterrence made her afraid to refute, so she had to pout and sit back on the stool.
"Okay, let's close the textbooks." Dracula was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke.
Hearing this instruction, the little wizards who had just opened the book raised their heads in shock.
