Chapter 176: Centaur Ferenze
"About what I just said, catch that evil dark wizard" Although he knew that it was unlikely, Evan was still ready to try again.
"We will not help humanity, let alone go against the will of God. This time, Bane didn't look at Mars in the sky again, he answered Aven's question accurately, and there was a hint of warning in his serious voice, "Just like two years ago, the trajectory of Mars has shown its portents, and what is destined to happen should not be changed. ”
"Although there are some changes, the result is still the same. Ronan added, in his mournful voice, "Tonight's Mars, brighter than ever, is a sign of the most terrible of catastrophes to come. ”
"But" Evan wasn't sure if they were referring to Voldemort's imminent resurgence, which, according to Professor Trelawney's prophecy, would be more powerful and terrifying than ever.
He didn't know who Voldemort's chosen man was, but if the centaurs could help him catch Peter Pettigrew, he might be able to stop Voldemort's return.
"There's nothing to do, I know what you're thinking, but the war between wizards has nothing to do with us, centaurs care about astrological prophecies, and we are not obligated to help humans. Bane replied in a stiff tone, "There's absolutely no way we're going to change what's coming, we've sworn it!"
Evan wanted to say anything more, to ask about the Gryffindor Treasure Key, but suddenly there was a blinding red-white light from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, accompanied by a heat wave, like the midday sun, completely illuminating the dark Forbidden Forest.
"What's going on?" Ronan uneasily scraped the dirt on the ground with his hooves, "It looks like it's on fire, and that direction is"
"It's the territory of those eight-eyed spiders, something must have happened!" Bane removed the bow and arrow from his back.
The two of them didn't look at Ewen again, turned around and rushed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the depths of the jungle, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves echoing in the clearing.
Evan hurried to follow, knowing that it was his lair burning in Aragog, and that he had to be quick, that he didn't have much time left. Instead of going in the direction Ronan and Bane left, he ran in the other direction, knowing that he was going to meet his past self and Peter Pettigrew there.
Evan ran forward for a few minutes, entering the territory of the Eight-Eyed Spider.
The terrain slopes significantly downward, and the surrounding trees begin to wither and take on an unhealthy gray color, with occasional cobwebs and white chrysalis.
Evan's concentration was heightened, and he clenched the wand in his hand.
Hearing Aragog's call, the eight-eyed giant spiders scattered throughout the Forbidden Forest are gathering in the center of the hollow, and their numbers are increasing.
Click, click
Just as Evan raised his vigilance, three spiders the size of a millstone swooped down from the surrounding trees at the same time.
They wield their sharp claws and made a terrifying click.
Evan hurriedly dodged to the right, rolling on the ground in a wrenched manner.
A red glow from the end of his wand knocked the spider in front of him flying, and then quickly turned around, and Evan suddenly stopped, and he was surprised to see that the bodies of the two eight-eyed giant spiders behind him had been completely pierced by the bow and arrow, and they were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
The two spiders struggled and made heart-wrenching sounds.
Evan looked up in surprise and saw a centaur standing beside him, not Ronan or Bane, who looked younger. His hair is white-blonde and has the body of a silver-maned horse.
"Are you alright?" the centaur walked over and pulled Evan up.
"It's okay, thank you, my name is Evan Mason and I'm from Hogwarts!" Evan patted the dust off his body, and then he was caught in the centaur's eyes.
It was a pair of blue amazing eyes, like a faint sapphire.
"I've heard Hagrid mention you, Aven!" the centaur said softly, "My name is Ferenze!"
Evan suddenly realized that it was him.
Like most centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, Ferenze is in awe of destiny and senses the uncertainty of life, full of wisdom but a good side view.
But compared to the other centaurs' disgust and disdain for wizards, Ferenze is less repulsive towards humans and is not hesitant to lend a hand. This makes Bane and Ronan who believe that the onus is on being a neutral bystander, and Ferenczer is different.
Evan remembered that when Harry was in his fifth year, Ferenczer even accepted Dumbledore's invitation to replace the expelled Professor Trelawney as Professor of Divination. He accepted the position and was banished by his own tribe, with the other centaurs calling him a slave in captivity by humans.
"I don't know why you're here, but for a young wizard of your age, the Forbidden Forest isn't safe tonight. Ferenze looked at Aven, "These eight-eyed spiders are all going berserk and more aggressive than usual, I must send you back"
"No, I can't leave, I have to catch Peter Pettigrew. ”
"Peter Pettigrew?!" Ferenze repeated slowly.
"That's right, he's an evil dark wizard, he's"
Before Evan could finish his sentence, he heard Ferenze say, "I know him, Peter Pettigrew, who visited our tribe a few times a few times twenty years ago with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin, and I was a foal at the time, and every time they came, they brought me magical items, food, and very interesting stories made by your humans. ”
Ferenze seemed to be reminiscing, and Evan looked at him in surprise. It turns out that there is such a thing, no wonder Ferenze has a crush on humans, and now it seems that it is very likely that he was influenced by Harry's father and the four of them when he was a child.
"The four of them had a very good relationship at the time, because the ancestors of the centaurs had a pact with the founder of the castle that they would be approved by the centaurs and come to the tribe for the final trial to determine if any of them were eligible for it. "But they all failed in the end, and it is clear that they are not the ones chosen by fate." ”
"That thing?!" Evan was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly beating rapidly, was Ferenze referring to Gryffindor's secret treasure key, he couldn't help but ask, "What is that thing?"
"I don't know. Ferenze shook his head and said slowly, "No one knows its exact shape, for more than a thousand years, according to ancient conventions, it has been stored in the temple in the center of the tribe, and it will shine like a star every night, and only those who really get it can know its true face."
