He patted Hagrid on the shoulder and headed toward the camp. Since there were no centaur handles outside, the two had to go in on their own and entrust the unconscious Ferenze to his compatriots.

When Rick and Hagrid entered the camp, they found that the tents around them were empty, and there was not a single centaur, so they looked at each other and decided to continue walking inside.

"Human?!"

"Put Ferencze down!"

"Ferenze! Ferenze! What happened to you? ”

"Damn human, what happened to you with Ferenze?"

Along the dirt road, which was not very smooth, the two turned a corner and came to an open space where a dozen centaurs had gathered. Seeing the group of centaurs, Rick and the others were surrounded by them before they could speak.

Looking at his compatriots, he was brought back by two human wizards, and he was still unconscious. One by one, the centaurs glared at Rick and the others.

Questioning!

Scolding!

Resounding throughout the tribe.

"Quiet! We are not here to listen to your reprimands and doubts. Just give back to you this wounded fellow man. With that, Rick placed Ferenze, the centaur behind him, in front of them.

Rick doesn't have time to be like a wet nurse to appease these lonely and proud people. Ferenze the centaur was brought here solely because he was a friend of Hagrid's.

After placing Ferenze the centaur on the ground, Rick prepared to leave with Hagrid. But it backfired, and three adult centaurs blocked their way.

"Human wizards! Don't make it clear what's going on! Don't even think about getting out of here! ”

The centaur at the head took the bow from his back and aimed his arrow at Rick and Hagrid. The other centaurs drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the two of them.

"You can't do that, Ferenze is my friend, and when we found him in the Forbidden Forest, he was already badly wounded. I'm Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is Rick Graves, the school's newly hired Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. If you dare to shoot arrows at us, Headmaster Dumbledore will be very angry. ”

Hagrid looked around, trying to find a centaur he knew, but unfortunately all but the three grown-ups who were blocking their way were young foals, and they might be adults in a year or two.

Overall, Hagrid didn't find a centaur he had dealt with.

There was no way, he could only take out his little red umbrella and use it for self-defense.

"I don't care who you are, if you don't explain things clearly, no one will want to leave here!"

A younger centaur with red fur and horsehair that reflects his fiery personality. The front hooves were raised high, the balls of their feet facing Hagrid, declaring his strength.

"It's really a group of secondary two teenagers who haven't been beaten by society, where is your patriarch? We want to see your patriarch! ”

Seeing that the centaurs dared to threaten him, Rick laughed angrily.

He really didn't expect this group of foals to be so reckless. After revealing his identity, he continued to raise the bow and arrow in his hand to threaten himself.

It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Hearing that the other party was going to see the patriarch, several centaurs became even more excited, and raised their front hooves one by one, wanting to trample on the two human wizards in front of them.

"The patriarch is too busy to see you. As long as you answer truthfully, whether Brother Ferenze was injured by you or not, we will let you go! ”

"I know Bane, Ronan. What about them? I'm going to talk to them! ”

Hagrid also noticed that the centaurs were clearly unfriendly to him, and they still didn't believe what had happened. He decides to get his other centaurs out and clear up the misunderstanding.

"Rubeus, forget it. These centaurs won't listen to you. ”

Because Hagrid was too tall, Rick could only pat Hagrid's arm with his hand. Motioned for him not to argue with the centaurs.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Rick's sudden and strange movements, the centaur led by the leader vigilantly pointed the crosshair of the bow and arrow in his hand at Rick.

"Nothing, let you be quiet. Drowsy! ”

"What?!"

As Rick's incantation was chanted, the centaurs who surrounded them began to get dizzy, and their hands weakly released their bows and arrows, allowing them to fall to the ground.

Then the horses could not control their bodies, and one by one they fell to the ground on their sides, falling asleep.

"Rick, are you?"

Seeing Rick's sudden move, Hagrid lowered his head and looked at Rick in shock. He never expected Rick to make a sudden move.

"Let's go, let's go into the big tent in front, I feel the smell of black magic in it."

Rick interrupted Hagrid's questioning with a raised hand, and he was now staring solemnly at the largest centaur tent ten meters away.

If it weren't for the hint of black magic coming from inside, he might have used force to teach this group of unruly foals a lesson. But now the sudden situation made him uninterested in the ponies entanglement.

Seeing Rick's serious expression, Hagrid hurriedly shut up. He is a half-giant, and he was born with a strong magic resistance attribute, but the weakness of the giant is also inherited by him, that is, his magic sensing ability is weak.

So when Rick said that he had the breath of black magic, he didn't notice anything and believed Rick at the first time.

Wow!

Ascending the steps, Rick waved his wand and lifted the curtain to reveal the situation inside.

Six adult centaurs lay on the ground, unconscious, and they exuded an aura of black magic from their bodies, a curse! Rick recognized it at first glance as a contagious curse.

"Humans? Hagrid! ”

At this time, an elderly man in the center of the big tent raised his head to look at Rick and the others, and he recognized Hagrid behind Rick at first glance.

"Patriarch Warren! What's wrong with you guys? Ron, Bane, they couldn't wake up. ”

"Don't go over, there's a curse!"

Although the centaur tent door was very high, it was still a bit of a problem for the half-giant Hagrid, and he entered the tent with his head down, and found no anomaly inside. When Centaur Warren called out his name, he looked up to see what was going on in the account.

Looking at the two friends lying on the ground, Hagrid hurried forward to check if their lives were in danger.

But he had just taken half a step, but was pulled back by Rick.

"How did you fall for the curse?"

Rick ignored Hagrid, who looked at Warren the Centaur with a serious expression for the first time.

A year later, he was once again confronted by the evil curse that caused the "Black Death" in the wizarding world in the Middle Ages, and it was in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which forced him to be more vigilant.

This curse caused his three Aurors to retire directly, and it was difficult for Rick to forget.
