Liu Jiecao felt very helpless, and being assigned to Hagrid's group meant that he would not have any new gains tonight.

He turned on the Nightmare Mark and kept an eye on Harry through his own powers, and Liu Jiecao also wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful Voldemort was now.

Harry, along with Malfoy and Tooth, walked towards the center of the Forbidden Forest. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper into the forest, until the trees became so dense that the path was almost impassable. Harry felt the blood on the ground grow denser. There was a lot of blood splattered on the roots of a tree, and it seemed that the poor animal had writhed and struggled in pain nearby. Harry could see a clearing in front of him through the tangled branches of an ancient oak tree.

"Look—" he whispered, holding up his arm to stop Malfoy.

A white thing glittered on the ground. Little by little, they moved closer to it.

That's right, that's the unicorn, it's dead. Harry had never seen such a beautiful and miserable scene. Its slender legs maintained the position it had taken when it fell, and they stretched out unnaturally; Its mane spreads on the dark fallen leaves, like a pearl.

Harry had just taken a step closer to it when a sudden sliding sound caused him to stop and stand still. A bush at the edge of the clearing was shaking......

Then, from the shadows flashed a hooded figure, crawling slowly on the ground, like a approaching beast. Harry, Malfoy, and Toothtooth all stood there dumbfounded. The cloaked figure approached the unicorn, lowered his head, aimed at the wound on the side of the corpse, and began to drink its blood.

"Ahh

Malfoy let out a terrible scream and ran away—

Tooth fled with no life. The hooded figure looked up and saw Harry, the unicorn's blood dripping down its chest. It stood up and sped towards Harry—who was too frightened to move.

Just then, a sharp pain pierced Harry's head. It was something he had never felt before, as if his scar had suddenly caught fire - his vision blurred and staggered backwards. He heard the sound of horses' hooves trotting behind him, and something passed over his head and lunged at the figure.

Harry's head hurt so badly that he fell to his knees. It took a minute or two to regain his strength. When he looked up, the hooded figure was gone. A centaur stood 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 centaurs pulled Harry to his feet. Asked.

"It's okay - thank you - what was that just now?"

The centaur didn't answer. His eyes were strikingly blue, like pale sapphires. He looked at Harry carefully, his gaze resting on the stark, prominent scar on Harry's forehead.

"You're the Potter boy," he said, "and you'd better go back to Hagrid." It's not safe in the forest at this time - especially for you. Do you know how to ride a horse? It can be faster this way. ”

"My name is Ferenze." He added, bending his front legs and lowering his body so that Harry could climb onto his back.

Suddenly, more horses' hooves were heard from the other side of the clearing. Ronan and Bane burst out of the bushes. The abdomen rose violently, and beads of sweat were dripping.

"Ferenze!" Bane roared, "What are you doing? You let a man ride on your back! Don't you feel ashamed? Are you an ordinary mule? ”

"Do you see who this is?" "This is the boy from the Potter family. Gotta get him out of the forest. The sooner the better. ”

"What did you tell him?" Bane said angrily, "Remember, Ferenze, we swore by it. Providence must not be disobeyed. Don't we see the signs of the planets' movements? ”

Ronan uneasily scraped the dirt on the ground with his hooves.

"I'm sure Ferencze thinks he's doing it with all his good intentions." Ronan said in his mournful voice.

"With good intentions! What does that have to do with us? Centaurs care about astrological prophecies! We don't have to run around like donkeys, following humans who are lost in our forests! ”

Ferenze was so angry that he suddenly stood upright on his hind legs, and Harry had to clutch his shoulders. I didn't fall down.

"Didn't you see the unicorn?" Ferencer roared at Bane, "Don't you understand why it was killed? Or did the planets not reveal this secret to you? I'm going to have to resist that guy lurking in our forest, Bane. Yes, I'm going to side with humanity if necessary. ”

After Ferenze finished speaking, he turned lightly; Harry clung to him as they lunged deeper into the woods, leaving Ronan and Bane behind.

Harry didn't understand what was going on.

"Why is Bane so angry?" He asked, "Also, what was that thing that you rescued me from?" ”

Ferencze slowed down and reminded Harry to keep his head down and avoid the low-hanging branches, but he avoided answering Harry's questions. They walked silently through the woods, not speaking for a long time, and Harry thought that Ferencze didn't want to talk to him anymore. However, just as they were making their way through a particularly dense thicket, Ferenze suddenly stopped.

"Harry. Potter, do you know what unicorn blood can be used for? ”

"I don't know." Harry was taken aback by the strange question, and said, "We only used its horns and tail fur in Potions class. ”

"It's because killing a unicorn is an extremely brutal thing." "Only a person who has nothing and wants everything can commit such a heinous crime." The blood of a unicorn can last you, even if you are dying, but you will have to pay a heavy price for it. You slaughtered a pure, weak and helpless life to save your own life, so from the moment its blood touches your lips, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life. ”

Harry looked at the back of Ferenze's head, which shimmered in silver spots in the moonlight. "But who is that outlaw?" Harry spoke out his doubts, "If you're going to be cursed for the rest of your life, you might as well die, right?" ”

"Not bad." "Unless you just use it to procrastinate your life so that you can drink something else—something that will completely restore your energy and spells—something that will make you immortal." Mr. Potter, do you know what's hiding in the school at the moment? ”

"Philosopher's Stone! Of course - the elixir of life! But I don't understand who-"

"Can't you imagine that there is anyone who has waited silently for so many years, eager to make a comeback? Who clings to life and waits for the right moment? ”

For a moment, it was as if an iron claw had suddenly grabbed Harry's heart. Amid the rustle of leaves in the wind, he seemed to hear Hagrid once again say on the night they first met: "Some say he's dead." I think it's pure nonsense. I'm afraid there is not much humanity left in him, so it is impossible for him to die. ”

"Do you mean," said Harry in a deep, hoarse voice, "it's the ground—"

"Harry! Harry, are you alright? Hagrid asked, panting.

Liu Jiecao quietly followed behind Hagrid, and no one understood the previous things more clearly than him.

Centaurs are creatures with super stargazing skills, and they can see through fate, but they usually don't go against it. However, Ferenze the centaur seems to have thought that he, unlike other centaurs, has a deep hatred for evil, so he seems to cooperate with humans.

Thinking about it, the real partner of this centaur may be Dumbledore, and only in this way did Dumbledore arrange Harry to the Forbidden Forest according to the results of the centaurs' prediction, and because Harry would have the centaur Ferencze secretly protected, Dumbledore was relieved to let Harry come over.

"I'm fine." Harry said, he didn't know what he was talking about, "The unicorn is dead, Hagrid, in the clearing over there." ”

"I'll leave you here." Ferenze whispered as Hagrid rushed to check on the unicorn's corpse, "You're not in danger now." ”

Harry slipped off his back.

"Good luck, Harry Potter." "Destiny has been misunderstood before, and even centaurs are immune to mistakes, and I hope that will be the case this time. ”

He turned, left Harry shivering, and slowly ran back into the forest.

Liu Jiecao looked at the centaur in the distance, and he knew in his heart what this centaur meant.

Voldemort's imminent resurrection must not be a secret among the centaurs, and this is one of the important factors that they dare not stop.

Astrology can see through fate, but not all fate, and centaurs may be able to see through the outcome, but not all the processes.

Even, the result seen by the centaur may not be the final result, or it may be just a fragment before the result.

Therefore, Liu Jiecao believes that the centaurs saw through Voldemort's resurrection, but they still thought that it was through the Philosopher's Stone, so they did nothing.

Even so, Ferenze thinks so.

Liu Jiecao knew that the horses were wrong, and Voldemort's failure this time was doomed, but he would also be successfully resurrected, just about three years later.

There was such an accident that made Harry. Potter was frightened, even Malfoy was no better, and the trip to the Forbidden Forest ended without a hitch.

Everyone went back in silence, even Neville, who didn't meet Voldemort, who was already frightened just by the expressions of Harry and Malfoy. (To be continued......)
