Chapter 59: Mars is Bright Tonight

Every now and then, a ray of moonlight spilled down from among the branches above, and on the winding path, speckled spots of unicorn blood were still scattered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The El and the others went deeper and deeper, until they reached the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"Don't worry, since it's so badly injured, it's impossible to go very far, we'll be able to ...... soon Oh no, hide behind that tree. ”

Hagrid grabbed Harry and carried him out of the path, and Al hurriedly opened the Cloak of Invisibility and covered himself and Hermione.

They hid behind a towering tree, and Hagrid drew an arrow, tied it to a stone bow, and raised it to aim.

A few of them listened intently, as if something was whizzing on the fallen leaves nearby, like a cloak dragging on the ground.

Al squinted at the dark path, but found nothing, and after a few seconds, the sound faded away.

"What was it just now?" Al asked Hagrid.

"I don't know. Hagrid muttered, "But apparently there's something that didn't belong here, and it's here." ”

Hagrid put away his bow and arrows and said to Al, "You and Hermione had better keep wearing the Cloak of Invisibility and don't take it off, we need to be careful now." ”

They walked more slowly than before, pricking up their ears to catch the slightest sound at any time. Suddenly, in the clearing in front of them, they clearly saw something moving.

"Who's there?" Hagrid shouted, "come out of here...... I've got a weapon!"

El and the others also drew their wands, and watched carefully.

The thing walked up to them, it was in the shape of a man above the waist, with red hair and beard, but below the waist was a shiny brownish-red horse, with a long red tail dragging behind it.

Seeing Hermione's mouth open in surprise, Al whispered to her, "There's nothing to fuss about, it's a centaur race, an intelligent race. ”

"Oh, it's you, Ronan. Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you okay?

"Good evening, Hagrid. Ronan said, his voice low and sad, "You just wanted to shoot me with a bow and arrow?"

"I'm sorry Ronan, I had to be vigilant. Hagrid patted his quiver and said, "There's a bad guy in this forest right now. ”

"Oh, by the way, I'm here to introduce you, this is Harry Potter, a student at Hogwarts, and this is Ronan, a centaur. ”

Al whispered in Hermione's ear, "The centaurs don't like to be called centaurs very much, they think it's an insult, just like a human mule, so don't say the wrong thing in front of them." ”

Ronan greeted Harry, then sighed and looked up, gazing at the night sky.

"Mars is bright tonight. ”

"yes. Hagrid said, glancing up at the sky as well, "Listen to me, Ronan, I'm glad we met you, because one of the unicorns was injured, did you see anything?"

Ronan didn't answer right away, his eyes stared upwards without blinking, and then he sighed.

Al also looked up at the starry sky as they did, but he couldn't see anything, no way, although he also learned some of the trajectories of the stars, but astrology would not be taught to them until the higher grades.

"There are always innocent people who are hurt. "It's been this way for thousands of years, and it still is." ”

"yes. Hagrid said, "Did you see anything, Ronan, and anything unusual?"

"Mars is bright tonight. Ronan repeated.

Hagrid looked at Ronan impatiently, but Ronan didn't seem to care, and he said tirelessly, "It's unusually bright." ”

What does this damn Mars represent? Al couldn't help but hate, he couldn't understand why Ronan didn't finish the story, but he had to be mysterious.

As if sensing Al's doubts, Hermione smiled and whispered in his ear, "Mars represents war, violence, energy, and desire, the instinct of humans as animals. ”

Al had to sigh again what a wonderful thing it was to have a friend who was a top student by his side.

"I know Mars is bright, but I mean, there's nothing unusual around here. Hagrid said, "Didn't you notice some strange movements?"

Ronan still didn't answer, and finally, he said, "There are many secrets hidden in the forest. ”

There was a sudden movement in the bushes behind Ronan, and Hagrid raised his bow again, only to be seen as the second centaur stepped out.

The centaur had black hair and a black body, and looked a little rougher than Ronan.

"Hello, Bane. Hagrid greeted the black centaur, "How are you doing?"

"Good evening, Hagrid, I hope you're doing well. ”

"Okay, you see, I was asking Ronan if you've seen anything strange here lately, and a unicorn has been injured...... Do you know about it?"

Bane walked over and stood beside Ronan, looking up at the sky.

"Mars is bright tonight. And so he said!

Al is fed up and can't understand why these centaurs like to talk about stars so much!

Hagrid, apparently in the same veins as Al, said angrily, "I've heard that!" well, if any of you see something, come and tell me, okay? ”

Hagrid left the clearing with Harry and El with them.

"Alas, there is no straightforward answer from the centaurs. When he couldn't see the centaurs, Hagrid said angrily, "They always look up at the stars, which is annoying, and they're not interested in anything but what is around the moon." ”

"Are there a lot of centaurs here?" asked Hermione.

"Oh, there are a few...... Most of them stay with their own kind, but they have a good eye and always show up whenever I want to talk to them. ”

"However, these centaurs are always esoteric, and although they know a lot of things, they are always tight-lipped about it. ”

"Could it be that the movement we heard earlier was also a centaur?" Al asked.

"If it were a horseman, it would have made a sound of horses' hooves, but apparently it wasn't, and I had never heard that sound before. ”

They continued to walk through the dense, pitch-black woods, but they had not gone far when they saw a red spark suddenly rise on the other side of the Forbidden Forest.

The sparks were dazzling and bright, and in the dark of the night, they traveled far away.

Looks like Neville and Malfoy are in some trouble.
