Harry wanted to answer that the Philosopher's Stone was priceless, and that's what the book said about it.

But it was too far away, and he knew it wasn't going to be the answer Aini wanted.

So the atmosphere fell silent suddenly, and they didn't know how to answer Aini's seemingly simple question.

It's not because they can't find the answers, it's because they know none of them are what Aini wants.

What Aini wanted to hear was their own answer.

However, Harry didn't know that the person who really wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone was actually the one who killed his parents, and his mind was not very firm.

So now he can't give an answer that can satisfy Aini, and if it weren't for Dumbledore's small means, maybe the three of them would have been persuaded by Aini to go back.

"I'm sorry, Aini. Maybe I can't give a definite answer for the time being. We know that the value of the Philosopher's Stone is high, and the power of the guardian must not be comparable to that of a young wizard like me. ”

"I don't have a reason to protect the Philosopher's Stone, but there is always a voice in my heart reminding me that I must not let the Philosopher's Stone be obtained by 'him', and I can feel that this matter is very important to me."

Harry's words were sincere, but it was this calmness that left Ani speechless.

"Aini, we all know that psychic sense is real for wizards, and even if they can't speak accurately, wizards still have some relevant talents to a greater or lesser extent, and maybe this matter is really important to Harry." Coming from a wizarding family, Ron had heard a lot of stories about it.

"Okay, follow me. Since settling Nobeta in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid has rarely stayed in his hut. Aini led the three of them to the Forbidden Forest, admonishing them again.

"You must remember that no matter how important things are in the future, you can't let yourself ignore the safety of your life now, don't be reckless in doing things, if you lose your life because of this, even if this matter is really important, it will have nothing to do with you."

"Don't worry, Aini. I'll be bullish on both of them. Hermione, who had been silent for a long time, replied, her face returning to normal.

Hearing this, Aini's eyes were a little weird, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that it was your young lady who imprisoned Neville, right?

Not noticing some strange eyes from Ani, after speaking again, the little witch's chatterbox seemed to be broken, and one question after another popped up one after another.

From the answers to the exams in each subject, to some doubts about learning, although Aini coped with it relatively easily, she also felt a little dry.

"Alright, Hagrid should be right up ahead." When she saw the light of the fire in the forest, Ani couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the little witch's curiosity was a little too strong.

Hermione was still a little unsatisfied, and it was much easier to ask Aini questions than to look through the tomes alone.

Harry and Ron didn't care about that, their destination was in sight, and they vaguely quickened their pace, and before they knew it, they walked in front of Aini.

"Stop!" After a few minutes, they could already hear Hagrid coaxing Nobeta in a rough voice, and just as Harry and Ron were about to run forward, Aini stopped them.

"Who is it! You'd better come out on your own and slow down a bit. Aini raised her wand to the shadow in front of her left.

He felt a strong hostility on the other party, and if he hadn't found out that it was a centaur in the shadows, Aini would have attacked directly just now.

"Human cubs, this is not the place for you." A horseman stepped out of the shadows, and the first thing that caught the sight of several people was the rugged face with a beard crawling on his chin, and after two steps, a naked, rare strength among wizards, was revealed.

The centaur had an open silver armband on his left arm, and with his muscular thick arm, it looked as if it had been suddenly squeezed by the burst of force.

"Bane, it doesn't seem like this is the range of the centaurs either." For this centaur who has always been hostile to wizards, Ani has no good face.

In fact, after meeting Bane, he had already considered whether to subdue this guy first and then start a conversation.

The uninvited male centaur in front of him looked aggressive, carrying not only the bow and arrow that centaurs were accustomed to hunting, but also a spear the thickness of a goose egg in his right hand.

Combined with the constant hostility emanating from him, Aini was a little worried that this rootless creature would do something crazy, and it would be bad if he accidentally injured the little wizard, which could lead to the decline of the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hmph, it turned out to be Professor Scamander, the Forbidden Forest is the territory of the centaurs, and the wizard can't control the centaurs."

Before the Dark Ages, the centaur population had a very brief period of strength, and although it quickly declined, there were still some centaurs who could not recognize the reality, lost in the glory of their ancestors, and depressed by the current state of the race.

"Snort."

Aini couldn't help but laugh.

"Bane, the Forbidden Forest is not the territory of the centaurs, you and I should know this in our hearts, I don't mind discussing this with you if the little wizard is not present, but please leave now."

"Full of nonsense, we ...... before Hogwarts was founded" Bane shouted angrily, brandished his spear and stepped forward, and then ......

Then he was hung upside down from a tree.

The normally quiet vines tangle him with a more violent posture than Bane, and his weapon is removed from the binding.

Aini plans to let Bane be honest for a while, after all, centaurs are a race handed down from ancient times, and some methods can threaten wizards, especially since he is accompanied by three children.

"I'm sorry Bane, you're too dangerous and must be subdued." Ani said to Bane very seriously.

"Let go of me, despicable wizard, and have the courage to have a real fight." Bane struggled in mid-air, did you hear what you were talking about? What do you mean I'm too dangerous to be subdued?

Also, I'm so dangerous, how did I get hung up all of a sudden?

Ani's kindness was never used for anything like that, no matter what the wizard had gained from other people in his early years, or what means he used.

He only knew one thing, as a member of the modern wizarding community, everyone enjoyed the shadow of their ancestors all the time.

If it weren't for their hard work, the current situation of the wizards is still unknown, and even whether humans are still the mainstream race of the world.

Those individuals or groups that oppose the wizarding camp have only one identity in Aini's mind, and that is the enemy.

But now the centaurs are like sea lions in the Muggle world, similar to endangered protected animals, some are close to humans, well-behaved and cute; Others are wild and untamable, occasionally aggressive.

Ani couldn't afford to kill a centaur and get into a fight with the Ministry of Magic.

"Be quiet, Mr. Bane." Before Ani could finish speaking, a vine circled Bane's head, sealing his mouth.

"I'll let you go when the little wizard leaves, but I can let you go half of it now."

With that, Aini swung off most of the vines, leaving only one that looped twice around Bane's front legs, fastening them to the branches, then tying the hind legs in the same way, and finally drooping down, tangling with his tail and tying his hands.
