Lester Was Framed
Malfoy's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Many Centaur immediately changed their expressions, and those with fiery tempers even drew their bows and arrows, wishing they could shoot Malfoy, that foul-mouthed little wizard, to death.
Although Feseren was very close to the wizard, he was still Centaur after all, and his side was that of Centaur.
"Little pony," Feseren said unhappily, "This is the Forbidden Forest; the laws of the Ministry of Magic don't apply to us."
"Now, get out of here immediately. Even if you are just ponies, if you continue to insult our Centaur tribe, we will not show any mercy."
"Centaur, watch your tone! You're nothing but a bunch of Fantastic Beasts. What right do you have to speak to us wizards like that!" Lester rebuked mercilessly.
"I don't care what you lowly magical races are thinking, hand over the person who ambushed me, or else... your Centaur tribe can expect to be wiped out by the Ministry of Magic!"
Upon hearing this, the Centaur were furious, staring intently at Lester as if they wanted to devour him whole.
The most radical Bane drew another arrow, nocked it on his powerful bow, and intended to kill Lester, the arrogant fellow, with a single shot.
Feseren's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped him. "Bane, don't be impulsive!"
Just kidding, this is a wizard! Wizards only know how to fight each other to the death, and even if they fight until their brains are completely fried, the Ministry of Magic won't bother with anything serious.
But if any magical race dares to murder a wizard, it is a grave crime punishable by extermination of their entire race!
Bane may be foolish, but the other Centaur are not. They immediately surrounded Bane, fearing he would bring ruin to the entire Centaur tribe.
"Why... why are you helping those two beasts!" Bane cried out indignantly, "We Centaur are no less than wizards, why should we fear them!"
The other older Centaur looked grim and remained silent.
Bane is a young Centaur grew up in the Forbidden Forest and was well protected by them, so he is unaware of the situation in the Wizarding World.
However, these older Centaur were well aware of the Centaur ' situation in the Wizarding World.
Feseren breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bane under control, and said to Lester again, "Little pony, we mean no harm."
"Bane attacked you simply because he saw you trying to harm that Unicorn, so..."
"I harmed the Unicorn?" Lester sneered. "You lowly creatures, which eye of yours saw me harming it? I was clearly trying to save it. It's all because of you that the Unicorn died."
"And you even dared to attack me! This is an attack on a wizard! How dare your Centaur tribe!"
Lester was not a kind person to begin with, and having almost been killed, he was now furious and naturally couldn't let it go so easily.
Besides, Lester had never liked the Centaur, that arrogant and ignorant race, and only a great saint like Hagrid was willing to indulge their bad habits.
An older Centaur finally couldn't take it anymore and stepped forward. "Little pony, you've gone too far. We've already told you, Bane just misunderstood."
"The misunderstanding is cleared up now, and we have forgiven you. This is our territory, and you are not welcome here. Get out now!"
This elder Centaur was very prestigious, and as soon as he spoke, the other Centaur rallied in support, telling Lester to get out of the Forbidden Forest.
Lester sneered. If it weren't for his Fiendfyre protecting Centaur, he would be dead.
Now they're telling me to get out with just a few words? Do they really think I'm easy to bully?
Lester narrowed his eyes, staring at the older Centaur. After a long while, he said gently, "Alright, we'll leave now."
Seeing that Lester was willing to leave, the older Centaur breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two young human wizards had given in.
The other Centaur were also in a frenzy, constantly hurling insults and profanities at Lester and Malfoy.
Just then, Lester, who was in the act of retracting his wand, suddenly swung it at the older Centaur and shouted:
"Avada Gnaw-the-Melon!"
The situation changed so quickly that it exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Malfoy didn't expect Lester to make such a sudden move, and to use Killing Curse at that.
"Damn it!" Feseren stared at the Killing Curse that flashed like lightning, his eyes bulging with rage, desperately trying to stop it.
Bane cried out in alarm, "Father, watch out!!!"
Unfortunately, the older Centaur thought Lester had backed down and didn't take him seriously at all, never expecting Lester to launch a surprise attack.
A level three Killing Curse, coupled with the added power of three Doran's Ring, was simply beyond the capabilities of these Centaur to stop.
In the blink of an eye, the older Centaur lost his life and fell straight to the ground.
"You deserve to die, you murderer!" Bane was furious. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Lester, a rage-filled shot that was sure to make Lester pay the price.
Lester scoffed, and with a wave of his hand, two Fiendfyre Barrier appeared beside him and Malfoy, easily blocking the arrow of rage.
A group of Centaur, armed with bows and arrows and living a primitive life, actually dared to threaten me? It's like an old man hanging himself.
Seeing Bane's murderous intent, Lester's wand glowed green as he prepared to deliver Killing Curse to end Bane's life.
Just then, Lester's ears twitched slightly in the distance, and several hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.
"Hagrid!" Lester's expression changed; he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to kill these Centaur today.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lester's wand suddenly emitted a blinding light. "Lumos!"
All the powerful magic within him was poured into this most basic life spell, and the blinding light turned night into day.
Everyone present closed their eyes, and Lester, with a cold expression, pointed his finger lightly.
The corpse of the dead Centaur then spontaneously combusted, and within seconds it turned into a cloud of gas, leaving no trace of its existence.
A moment later, Hagrid rushed over with Harry and Ron Weasley, only to find a group of Centaur surrounding Lester and Malfoy.
Hagrid was shocked and quickly shielded Lester and Malfoy, shouting, "What are you doing? Why are you surrounding the young wizards of Hogwarts?"
Seeing this, Lester's face contorted with fear, and he rushed to Hagrid's side, crying out, "Hagrid, these Centaur are framing me! They said I tried to kill Unicorn, and they even shot arrows at me!"
Malfoy was taken aback at first, then quickly showed a look of fear and added, "These Centaur are absolutely insane! They almost killed Lester just now! I must write to my father!"
