No one spoke, except for the crackling sound of burning torches, and silence fell for a moment.

"Are they really planning to wage war against wizards?"

In some books, Hermione had seen that centaurs had an unfriendly attitude towards wizards, and that they were reluctant to come into contact with them.

The centaurs didn't answer Hagrid's question, and Hermione's whispered question made Harry's heart twitch as he looked at Ferencze - he liked the centaur because he didn't treat wizards as harshly as his fellow Bane, and he had saved himself.

Even Blake's matter was less important than the serious topic of war, and Harry stared up into Ferencze's eyes, hoping for a reply.

"Same as then, Harry Potter"

Ferenze looked up at the moon, and then said in a slow and logical tone,

"Once again, you chose a bright Martian night to break into the Forbidden Forest, which is unwise, and we don't want wizards to intervene in the centaur war."

"War?!"

Harry and the three of them exclaimed in unison, and Hagrid immediately rolled up his sleeves, he was a head taller than the strong Bane and Ronan, and he stood in front of the two centaur leaders menacingly, glaring at them viciously, and this action also caused Bane's strong displeasure.

"We don't have a grudge against the ponies at school, Hagrid!"

"In that case, who are you gathering in the middle of the night for, oh, could it be?" Hagrid's eyes narrowed, "Aragog's heir has caused you trouble again, but I've already talked to him!" ”

"Who is Aragog?" Ron asked Harry in a whisper, and after Harry shook his head, Ron threw the same question to Hermione,

"Is there a book that records that name, Hermione?"

The world of the Forbidden Forest is isolated from the world of wizards, and the famous big names in the outside world have no say here, and some of the overlords in the Forbidden Forest are also unknown outside, so far, Hagrid is the only bridge between the two worlds.

"Don't be nervous, Hagrid."

Ferenze turned his head and said calmly,

"We just want to punish those vile dark creatures who live in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, they have been overactive these days, they have been haunting our territory, and this evening, they have the audacity to kidnap one of our kind."

"You mean"

Hagrid's brow furrowed, he was about to name the creatures, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the three Harry, who were extremely concerned about the issue, so after a brief hesitation, he said categorically,

"If that's the case, then it's not surprising that you're doing, but Dumbledore wants the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest to have a peaceful and peaceful environment, and if they do, I'll report back, Ferenze, Professor Dumbledore will make a trip for you, but for now."

"Centaurs don't need the protection of wizards!"

Bane seemed to think Hagrid had said something rude, and he lashed out, "Even if it's Dumbledore!" ”

Seeing that the conflict was about to occur, Ronan uneasily scraped the dirt with his hooves and took two steps forward to stop between Bane and Hagrid.

"Hagrid just meant well, Bane."

But Ronan said to Hagrid, "We can solve the problem ourselves." ”

"You should respect the rights of the centaurs, Hagrid"

Ferenze patted Bane's horse, returned to the front of his own tribe and said to Hagrid, then he looked at Harry in confusion,

"I think we all have important things to do, Harry Potter, and now, it's time to separate."

The torches quickly disappeared among the trees, and the darkness took the opportunity to envelop Harry and the others, and the three little wizards swung in the cold from all directions, and Hagrid walked to the motorcycle and fumbled for a while, and when they turned on the headlights, they stood in the cylindrical light.

"If it's the same kind of people who have been taken captive, then I don't wonder why Ronan and the others are so popular."

Hagrid twisted his brow and stroked his beard and said,

"Centaurs are scarce, and every one of their kind is very valuable to them."

Harry nodded knowingly, he suddenly remembered that Professor Bryan had taken him to the underground world deep in Tumbledown Alley last summer, a place that had changed his perception of the wizarding world, where Harry had seen a group of dark wizards illegally buying and selling magical creatures, including the centaurs, who were from the Ferencze group.

"Hagrid, what the hell has taken the centaurs away?"

Hermione also frowned and said thoughtfully,

"And it's such a coincidence, but tonight, the tribe of the centaurs has been attacked. Malfoy inexplicably followed the dog."

"yes, it's going to be a lively night."

Hagrid said distraughtly,

"I should have reported these things to Professor Dumbledore and Professor Bryan immediately, but they are not in the school!"

Hagrid's words sent all three of Harry with a look of surprise.

"It could be a conspiracy, Harry!"

As Hagrid struggled to get onto the motorcycle, Ron said with a pale face, "Someone must be playing tricks, and besides, I can't figure out how Spotted would want to follow Malfoy." ”

"I think we should go back to school and tell Professor McGonagall about this, Harry."

Hermione said solemnly.

Harry didn't speak, but he expressed his opinion with action, and when the motorcycle roared again, he rolled over and went straight to the sidecar, hanging under the eyelashes of broken ice, a pair of eyes that would not waver.

Now, they are back on their old path, and the terrain here is more complex than the extension of the Forbidden Forest, no longer a flat ground full of fallen leaves, puddles, mud pools, and strange rocks are endless, and it has become very difficult to find footprints, so their speed has become slow.

All three little ones lit their wands and helped Hagrid in their search.

So far, they haven't heard a single human voice, which may be a good thing, Malfoy is certainly no match for Black, but Harry thinks he can still do it with a few screams before he dies.

This time on the motorcycle, Hagrid's expression was much more serious, and his whole body was also a little urgent, because originally his mission was only to find a whimsical little wizard who went to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night to practice flying skills, and now, he had to hurry up to see what was going on with the centaurs.

There are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest that snuggles up to Hogwarts, which is just a school legend among young wizards, but Dumbledore and he both know that there are indeed werewolf activities in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Centaurs and werewolves were at war, if Hogwarts were involved.

Just thinking about it made Hagrid's guts groan.

They had been flying for about another ten minutes, as Hagrid had to stop his motorcycle because of the dense vegetation in the woods, and now the four of them could only move on foot.

After walking a little further, the dog's paw prints on the ground became messy, presumably the dog had consumed most of his physical strength by running here, and Hagrid had found signs of a spell shattering the trunk of a tree.

"Malfoy did it, right?"

Ron said with a shudder.

No one answered his question, not even Harry and Hermione.

Because of the depth of the night, the damp ground is gradually frozen hard, and when you step on it, the frost-covered branches and leaves will break and make a clattering sound, which is extremely harsh and alarming in the quiet forest.

"Harry."

In order not to miss any clues, several of them fanned out in the forest, and just as Harry, who was standing on the far left, was struggling with the marks on the ground, Hermione on the far right suddenly spoke, and her voice was full of horror and helplessness.

Harry immediately sensed that something was wrong, he jerked his head up, pointed his wand in the direction Hermione was facing, and with a single glance, he felt as if a large, cold hand was clutching his stomach, pain and gagging at the same time tormenting his nerves.

Ron looked like he was about to faint, and Hagrid, like a wood carving, stood beside Hermione unable to move.

The cold moonlight shone on a rare clearing in the forest, and the liquid in the crater on the ground reflected the moonlight and appeared silvery shining, and the liquid might be mixed with the water of ice slag, or maybe it was blood?

A man with a broom collapsed in a pothole, and a man with a disheveled cape groped his body.

Malfoy had always been Harry's most hated of the young wizards, but when he actually saw his body fall to the ground weakly, Harry didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he knew that the gaze he was shooting in his eyes now was definitely not a thank you
