"Hello, my name is Firenze."
The centaur's eyes were like pale sapphires. His sight was fixed on Damon, his expression serious. The prophecy of the stars did not include this person. If he had not arrived in time, Harry Potter should have been attacked.
What was going on?
He had clearly viewed the stars repeatedly, so there would be no error. Or was it all because of the boy who suddenly broke into the stars?
But before he met him, why didn't the stars reveal anything in advance?
"Hello, my name is Damon."
Firenze looked at the boy who responded in a friendly way, secretly guessing the identity of this person. Could it be that some magic master with a weird temper happened to visit Hogwarts and ran into this incident by chance?
This was impossible. Firenze felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, subconsciously raised his head, and clearly saw the changes in the stars. His pupils suddenly shrank, which was the result of the stars revealing in an instant. That evil existence would die at the hands of someone present!
Is it the savior Harry Potter, or...
Firenze looked at Damon with an expression of surprise.
He made up his mind that he would observe the stars again after returning to confirm it!
As for now - he had to follow the guidance of the stars and break through the fog.
He came to the corpse of the unicorn and lamented:
"Such a pure, weak and helpless life lost its life just because of personal greed."
"Personal greed?"
"Yes." Firenze looked at Harry who spoke, "Killing a unicorn is an extremely cruel thing. Only those who have nothing and want everything will commit such a heinous crime.
The blood of the unicorn can prolong life, even if he is dying, but at the same time, he must pay a heavy price for it - from now on, that person will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."
"But who is the desperado?" Harry expressed his doubts, "If you are cursed for the rest of your life, you might as well die, right?"
"Yes," Firenze agreed, "unless you just use it to delay your life so that you can drink another thing - something that fully restores your energy and spells - something that makes you immortal.
Mr. Potter, do you know what is hidden in the school now?"
"The Philosopher's Stone! Of course - the elixir of life! But I don't understand who it is -"
"Can't you imagine who has been waiting for so many years, longing to make a comeback? Who has been holding on to life, waiting for the right time?"
For a moment, it was as if an iron claw suddenly grabbed Harry's heart. In the rustling of leaves in the wind, he seemed to hear again what Hagrid said on the night they first met:
"Some people say he is dead, I think it's pure nonsense, I'm afraid he doesn't have much humanity left, so it's impossible for him to die."
"Are you saying," Harry said in a low and hoarse voice, "It's Voldemort!"
Hearing this terrible name, Ron shuddered subconsciously.
Seeing Firenze nod slowly, Harry turned pale and looked at Damon, "It's Voldemort who is looking for the Philosopher's Stone. Snape must be his-"
"Oh my God, are you all right!"
Hagrid's cry interrupted everyone's conversation.
He saw the corpse of the unicorn from a distance and quickly went forward to check it out.
Firenze nodded to the others and left quietly. Where he disappeared, several centaurs appeared and disappeared behind the leaves, all staring at Damon with scrutiny. According to the predictions of the stars, things should not have developed this way.
When Firenze returned, the centaurs had a fierce quarrel, so loud that even Damon and his men could hear it clearly.
"Firenze, what did you say to them? The predictions of the stars cannot be disobeyed. Have you forgotten?"
"Didn't you see the unicorn?" Firenze roared, "Don't you understand why it was killed? Or did the planet not reveal this secret to you?
I must resist the guy lurking in our forest. If necessary, I will certainly stand on the side of humans!"
"Since you believe in the stars so much, then look up and take a good look!"
The centaurs quarreled and left, and Hagrid buried the unicorn in tears.
After what happened, he was unwilling to let Norbert live in the Forbidden Forest, and the group returned to his cottage for the time being.
Harry was too excited to sit down.
He paced in front of the fire, still shaking.
"Snape is going to get the Philosopher's Stone for Voldemort. Voldemort is waiting in the forest. We thought Snape just wanted to make a fortune with the Philosopher's Stone."
Hearing the name Voldemort, Ron and Hermione were very scared, especially Ron, who grew up in the wizarding world and was exposed to the horror of Voldemort since childhood.
But now he has some courage, and he will no longer persuade Harry to stop saying this terrible name out of fear.
"Don't worry, Harry, the Philosopher's Stone is well protected, and Snape can't get it. "
Damon patted Harry's shoulder, Norbert's claws were tightly grasping his chest, trembling slightly - as an animal, it has a more acute sense of crisis, and the spell cast by Damon just now almost scared it out of its wits.
"Oh - poor little thing, are you scared?"
Hagrid saw the trembling Norbert and stepped forward to take it, but Norbert just grabbed Damon tightly and dodged Hagrid's attacking hand.
Hagrid sat back in his original position, even more disappointed.
Hermione watched this scene, and her brain finally reassociated Damon with the powerful spell just now, and said excitedly:
"In other words, the person just now is most likely Professor Snape? Damon, you beat him away!"
Hermione couldn't help but stand up. She regained some confidence and said to everyone:
"Everyone says that the You-Know-Who has always been afraid of only Dumbledore. With Dumbledore here, the You-Know-Who can't hurt us.
Moreover, Damon must have injured Snape just now. As long as we find solid evidence, we can tell Dumbledore about this and let him punish Snape, so that he can no longer help the mysterious man to do evil! "
"You are right! Hermione! Why didn't I think of it?"
Harry's expression also became excited - with a goal, he got out of the loss and confusion and regained motivation.
"As long as we find evidence that Snape was injured, we can stop him from doing evil!"
As for whether Snape was really injured?
There is no doubt about this.
At that time, they all clearly saw the spell called "God's Gun"!
The terrifying power, even now recalling it, the three little ones feel lingering fear, and their bodies are out of control - they don't believe that Snape can escape from such a powerful spell.
In fact, the careful Hermio
ne did find the blood shed when Snape fled.
In other words, this method is completely feasible!
