After these Centaur appeared, Hagrid felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. His huge body firmly blocked Sean behind him, holding a bow and arrow tightly in his hand.
There was no moonlight to be seen, and it became dark inside Forbidden Forest. There were Centaur trampling branches not too far away, making people feel frightened in the silence.
"Firenze, don't think we don't know what you want to do!"
That Centaur said again.
"Bane, can't you see it? Neptune is so bright, we should accept the change coming."
Firenze said unhurriedly.
Neptune?
Sean made preparations before asking Hagrid to help carry the message. He took out a book from his bag that was so old that the pages were almost broken.
This book has been in his bag since the first month he came to Hogwarts. Until now, he has finally been able to uncover some of the mysteries of Astronomical Magic.
"Neptune represents ideals, fantasy and obsession. The parts touched by Neptune will make us desire to transcend trivial reality and break through the limitations and boundaries brought by daily life.
The planets it touches have a wistful quality. We can be unwilling to accept things as they are, and this can make us feel dissatisfied or unwilling to accept things as they are."
After reading this explanation, Sean seemed to understand something, and the conversation in Forbidden Forest continued.
"This is betraying the group! Spreading our knowledge and secrets among humans, such flattery is an indelible shame! Are you going to be a slave to humans?!"
A gray Centaur with a well-defined face and hard lines said.
Like Hagrid, he also carries weapons, with a barrel of arrows and a longbow hanging on his shoulder.
"Slave?!"
Hagrid shouted.
At this time, Centaur named Bane turned to Hagrid and said:
"You should leave, Hagrid, I'll let you go today because you have your little one with you--"
"Not his!"
The gray-haired Centaur interrupted him contemptuously,
"He's a student, Bane, from the school above! He's a pretty good..."
"Anyway,"
Magorian said calmly,
"Harming cubs is a terrible sin - especially the cubs that make the stars shine. We do not harm innocent people. Hagrid, let you go today. You will lose our friendship next time you make such a rude request."
As soon as Centaur Tribe's conversation ended, they surrounded Firenze. Firenze's face remained calm and no change could be seen.
After Hagrid quietly told Sean to hide, he involuntarily inserted himself into the crowd - Centaur had already raised their hooves, looking like they were going to liquidate Firenze.
"Slave? Are you kidding me? In Hogwarts, imparting knowledge is something that only professors do!"
Even when the situation is tense, Hagrid still looks carefree.
Bane was silent for a while after hearing this:
"It took us a long time to possess this ability. We respect this wizard, but we will not interfere in the trajectory of Destiny Star."
"What if our behavior is part of Destiny Star? Can't you see the Phase of Saturn? That's overly defensive Phase."
Firenze spoke after staring at the sky for a long time.
After observing the night sky for a while, the remaining Centaur looked a little ugly.
They were obviously shaken.
A large group of Centaur came and left just as quickly.
Beams of soft, mottled moonlight poured into the entire open space, above the soft moss and under the leafy trees.
Hagrid has also left here, and he is going to feed Thestral.
He believed in Firenze and left Fang behind. At this moment, Fang was playing non-stop with a bone that could throw itself out.
Sean heard the sound of birds such as sparrows taking off in the distance, and then he walked over at Firenze's signal with anticipation.
The story of the Centaurs is not difficult to understand. They use Astronomy to predict the future and abide by such a future.
But if they blindly abide by it and believe in fate, then fate will dominate everything they do. Even if it is not what they want to see.
"Sean·Green, don't be afraid, Centaur never harms innocent people and cubs.
But - it is always the innocent people who suffer first, and this has not changed for thousands of years."
Firenze said.
"Come here and lie down, we still have some time to observe the stars."
So Sean lay on the soft moss.
"I know that on Astronomy class, you have learned the names of these planets and their moons,"
Firenze said gently,
"You also charted the movement of stars in the sky. And Centaur spent centuries revealing the secrets of these movements. Our research results tell us that from the sky above us, we may be able to glimpse the future--"
He explained quietly, and Sean listened quietly.
It seems that he was instructed by the stars, Centaur is willing to teach himself Astronomical Magic, this is a hard-won good opportunity.
"Have you learned anything yet?"
Firenze asked.
"Yes, I have seen many Divination books, just like this one. It is said that Mars can cause accidents, burns and the like. When it forms an angle with Saturn, it looks like this-"
Sean Tap the wand lightly, and the sparks draw a right angle in the air.
"--means people should be extra careful when handling hot things--"
"This is a random fabrication by humans."
Firenze said.
Sean silently decided to return the <Foreseeing the Future> in his hand to Library later.
"Insignificant injuries, trivial human accidents,"
Firenze said, his hooves made a thumping sound on the mossy ground,
"Compared with the vast universe, these things are as insignificant as crawling ants and are not affected by the movement of the planets."
It sounds very reasonable. Quill of Sean habitually takes notes.
"Some wizards, for example, Sybill·Trelawney. She might be able to Foreseeing the Future, I don't know that,"
Firenze went on to say, Sean heard him wagging his tail again when walking around,
"But most of her time is wasted on self-proclaimed nonsense, which humans call fortune telling."
Sean thinks what he said is correct. If Professor Trelawney doesn't always deceive people, for example, it kills Prophecy at least once a year, then maybe you don't have to look for the real one among the ninety-nine fake Prophecy.
Firenze's voice sounded again:
"What I want to explain here is Centaur's objective and fair opinion.
We observe the sky and pay attention to important trends of disasters or changes. Sometimes these trends are marked in the sky. It may take ten years to confirm what we see."
