Chapter 265: Centaur Recognition
In the office, Sirius tells Evan how they got into the centaur tribe of the Forbidden Forest and how they were recognized.
"After discovering that Remus was a werewolf, James and Peter and I began to learn about the Animagus. It didn't go as smoothly as you did, and it took us three full years to get there. Sirius said to Aven, "In fifth grade, we learned to shapeshift. Since then, every time before the full moon, the three of us have been in the form of animals to the Screaming Shack and the werewolf-turned-Remus as companions. ”
"Werewolves don't attack animals?!"
"Werewolves are only dangerous to people and do not attack other animals. Sirius recalled, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "At first, the four of us honestly stayed in the screaming shack, but there was nothing there, it was too boring. Now that we could all shapeshift, we quickly left there and wandered around the school grounds, in the castle, in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and in Hogsmeade at night. At that time, we were excited to make an adventure plan at the beginning of each month and then execute it. ”
As Sirius described, an image appeared in Aven's mind.
In the dead of night, four animals venture through the ancient, mysterious Hogwarts to uncover the school's hidden secrets.
Judging from the number of secret passages marked on the map of the living spots, Sirius must have traveled to many places at that time, almost all of Hogwarts.
"In the second half of fifth grade, I think it was around May, and we saved a centaur during an adventure. While he was hunting, he was seriously injured by a grumpy horned camel. We chased the horned camel away, and after thanking him, he invited the four of us to the Centaur tribe deep in the Forbidden Forest. ”
Sirius was an understatement, but Evan knew the hardships.
The centaurs have never had a good opinion of wizards, and they don't allow humans to go to the Forbidden Forest casually, let alone visit their tribe.
However, the centaurs had an extra privilege for human children, and the centaur they saved must have been seriously injured by Sirius, so they had a chance to return him to the centaur tribe.
Because of his long history of brewing potions, Aven is very familiar with horned camels.
The powder of the horns of the horns can be used to make a variety of important medicines, and is an essential ingredient.
But it's hard to get, so it's extremely expensive.
Evan knows all too well how hard it can be to defeat a grumpy horned camel.
You know, the horned camel beast is a huge giant beast with a purple body and a slight gray glow. It has a bulging back, two very sharp long horns on its head, and walks with big four-fingered feet.
In the past, wizards often saw trolls living in the mountains riding on horned camels in an attempt to tame them. However, this is a wasted effort, and the horned camels are extremely aggressive by nature, so it is not strange to see the trolls covered in scars made by the horned camels.
The poor centaur who was rescued by Sirius must have been badly wounded. It was better to invite Sirius and them to the centaur tribe than to hope that the four of them would send him back, otherwise the centaur would probably die halfway.
"It's a big tribe, and the houses in it are different from what you're used to. Sirius gestured with his hand and continued, "In the middle of the tribe is a magnificent temple made of blue rock, which looks very ancient, and is covered with green vines, which is very spectacular. ”
"Temple?!" Evan repeated softly.
Not surprisingly, what Gryffindor left behind is in this temple.
Unable to explain why, Evan remembered Professor Trelawney's prophecy: in that forbidden dark temple, the Dark Lord's former magic would mark a chosen one, and he would help the re-emerging Dark Lord gain unimaginable power.
The dark temple full of taboos, could it be this one of the centaur tribes?!
Evan suddenly had a hint of foreboding, as if something big was about to happen.
"To thank us for saving the centaur, they decided to repay us. Sirius found no anomaly in Aven, and continued, "After some discussion, they told us that there was an item left behind by Gryffindor himself in the centaur tribe. According to the agreement between their ancestors and Gryffindor, we can enter the temple and try to get the item."
"Wait a minute, Sirius!" Evan interrupted hurriedly, "You haven't said yet, what is the centaur approval?"
"It seems to have something to do with the stars. Sirius scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I don't know what's going on. I remember a couple of very old centaurs looking up at the stars for a long time, and saying that the four of us were connected to some fate, and that we were eligible to be recognized by them. ”
Astrological signs, omens, fate?!
What a centaur endorsement, this is too hasty.
But Evan lowered his head and thought about it, it seemed to be really the style of the centaurs.
For a long time, they have persistently observed the orbit of the planet and interpreted the ethereal fate and future from it.
Evan didn't know if they could actually see fate, but when it came to astrology and divination, the centaurs had clearly developed a unique theoretical system.
According to Sirius, to get the approval of the centaurs, Evan didn't have to do anything. All he had to do was go to the centaur tribe and let them look up at the stars in the night sky to know the final result.
It sounds ridiculous, but it is.
Evan suddenly remembered the centaur Ferenze he had met in the Forbidden Forest on the night he was chasing Peter Pettigrew, and what he had said to him.
About the omen given by Mars, and things like those chosen by fate
He didn't understand it at the time, and now that he thought about it, what Ferencze said could mirror Sirius's experience.
Does this mean that Evan has actually been approved by the centaurs?!
He pondered what Ferenze had said at the time, and Evan remembered that Ferenze had told him that the planet would give a clear omen to those who had been chosen by fate. And the elders of the centaur tribe will make a clear request that he do something for them.
Sirius had saved a centaur at the time, and the planet had shown that they were connected to the so-called fate, so they could enter the temple.
Now the question is, what will the centaurs make Evan do?!
He discussed it with Sirius for a while, but he didn't come up with a clear answer.
"All in all, you can only know if you try it in the past. Sirius concluded, "After tomorrow's Quidditch game, I can take you to the centaur tribe." We can bring Harry, Ron, and Hermione with us, and let the three of them see it too. (To be continued.) )
