In the days that followed, Severus continued to patrol the Forbidden Forest every day.

No way, the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts is too big,

The forest is big and there are not only all kinds of birds,

And there are also a large number of magical creatures that are not native to the UK.

Most of these magical creatures were brought back from all over the world by various professors, especially those in the protection of magical creatures class, and some were smuggled by students, just because many of them were forbidden breeds, so they were thrown into the forbidden forest.

Of course, there are also some discarded pets, or the offspring of pet breeding.

In short, there are more types than a large magical creature protection base.

The most troublesome thing is that some small animals are not fixed, and they often change burrows often to avoid predators and other dangers, which makes Severus's patrols very troublesome.

In addition, there are some plants that Severus finds troublesome, such as thorn vines, devil vines, poisonous roses, etc., which are the work of the herbalists and are much more troublesome to avoid them than to kill them outright.

As a result, this makes inspections more slow.

What's more, a trace of Nidhogg's will is not so easy to detect, even Severus can only detect it at close range, so this task cannot be handed over to others,

For example, the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest and so on.

Generally speaking, the intelligent and magical creatures who live in the Forbidden Forest have signed a contract with Hogwarts, so not only can they not harm the students, but they are also responsible for managing the Forbidden Forest and protecting the school in times of crisis.

Of course, this division of responsibility is more ambiguous.

Like the centaurs, they have this responsibility in normal times, but the current leader of the centaurs is clearly counting on the basis that the Ministry of Magic classifies the centaurs as magical creatures rather than humanoids.

Because of this, Hagrid is currently the only one in charge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid's temperament is well known, and it is impossible to expect him to go to Nidhogg's will.

However, patrolling too carefully can also lead to other problems, for example, Quirrell is obviously very curious about Severus's work, so much so that he asks for help several times.

Severus, of course, refused,

Compared to Dumbledore's fear that Voldemort would come into contact with Niederhogg, Severus was worried that he would not be able to help but kill him!

However, considering that there are still many places where Voldemort will be used in the future, especially Voldemort's Horcruxes, that thing will be of great use to Severus in studying doppelgangers, and even studying the nature of souls and magic.

At the same time, Voldemort is also a very good material for experimentation.

Powerful, there is no one else who can withstand Severus's tossing and turning.

At least Severus couldn't have done some of the more dangerous experiments on himself.

As for Dumbledore, it can be regarded as a backup experimental material, so let's let Dumbledore go before Voldemort finishes playing.

Therefore, it is not until Christmas that the patrol work of the Forbidden Forest is completed, and it is good to only look at it once in a while.

It was also on this day that Severus met Ferencze, a strange centaur.

At a time when the other centaurs were severing their ties with Hogwarts, and even began to resist and dislike wizards, it was a little strange for Centaurs like Ferenze to be close to wizards and willing to fulfill their contracts.

Centaurs like Ferenze are rare in the Centaur tribe at Hogwarts, so Severus can often see Ferenze wandering alone in the Forbidden Forest.

However, there was not much communication, mainly Severus could see that Ferenze did not like to contact with him.

There were even times when Severus wondered if the centaur had seen something.

And today, on the last day of Severus' inspection, Ferencze took the initiative to find him.

"Professor Snape, the trajectory of the planets tells me that the wizarding world is about to face great changes, and the war is about to begin again." Ferenze is a young horseman with white-blond hair, a human-like upper body, and a horse-like lower body.

There were many times when Severus felt that the word "head" might be inappropriate to describe centaurs, but he found that centaurs liked the word.

Centaurs like to distinguish them from wizards, but sometimes they don't like to be considered beasts.

Like Ferencze, he is much more polite than most wizards and behaves gracefully.

Except for running naked in the winter without clothes!

"The planets have told me the answer, and while the fate shown by the planets is not immutable, it is possible for the centaurs to be wrong."

"But I think I should tell you."

"Mars is in constant motion, which is a sign of war, and the fortune is getting heavier and heavier, and the future is dark."

Ferenze looked up at the dark starry sky, the sky was full of clouds, and not a single star could be seen.

"Why are you telling me this, I'm not interested in fate."

"It's strange that I can't see your fate."

Ferenze looked down at Severus, the cold wind constantly blowing his hair, fluttering in the air like a mane.

"Aren't you cold?"

Severus had little interest in fate, and Ferenze, who was still naked on a cold day, was more surprising, and the centaurs seemed to be unclothed.

Ferenze was visibly stunned for a moment, but did not answer the question.

"I see fate spinning in you, something that has never happened before!"

"I don't believe in fate." Severus said flatly, "In my opinion, fate is meant to be broken!" ”

Ferenze was silent for a moment, then said with a slight sigh: "Break fate? Who knows, is this an arrangement of fate?! ”

He looked up and continued to look at the sky, which was darkened by heavy clouds.

Severus didn't know if it was fate that he came into this world, but it didn't make much sense.

Just like Severus himself said, the membrane of fate is used to be pierced, as a human being, he believes more that man will conquer the sky!

If you can't pierce fate, then it is even more meaningless whether you know fate.

After a brief exchange, Severus left.

Then, the sky began to snow heavily, and Ferenze still seemed to be standing.

It is difficult for Westerners to imagine that even a character like Voldemort will be trapped and fate.

And for a fortune teller who believes in fate, they are used to following fate.

During Severus' patrol of the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts fell into a rare period of tranquility.

Of course, students are not quiet.

Like the Weasley twin brothers, they were very curious about Quirrell's head under his scarf, so they devised a lot of traps against Quirrell. It's a pity that Quirrell didn't get hit.

But the more this happens, the more fun the two brothers play.

Severus could only admire the various pranks made by the two men with admiration, and the two brothers would not know how they would have felt if they had known that they were teasing Voldemort.

However, although he was able to disgrace Professor Quirrell every time, the towel on his head just wouldn't come off.

It's like an anti-gravity skirt in anime, no matter how exaggerated the action, it always blocks there,

In vain!
