Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 97. 95. The Centaur Firenze

With the slight sound of horseshoes, a creature with a human upper body and a horse lower body gradually appeared in the field of vision, uttering human words and holding a bow and arrow.

The centaur, a legendary existence in the records of ordinary people, is a humanoid creature with intelligence close to human beings.

Although they themselves don't think of themselves as magical creatures, and they are arrogant, they don't think of themselves as the same people as wizards, vampires, and witches.

As a result, the records of the Ministry of Magic simply classified them as beasts.

It is said that a group of centaurs lived deep in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

This is one of them.

The cloaked man was also very decisive when he saw this, and quickly retreated backwards, disappearing into the dark Forbidden Forest.

I didn't say a word during the whole process, and I didn't do a single extra action.

Dudley didn't go after him, but he understood why the poor should not chase him.

I can't leave the other party for the time being.

"Thanks for the help, Firenze."

Dudley thanked the other party. Without his help, it would be very troublesome to deal with the cloaked man by himself and a minor dragon.

Neither the type of spell nor the magic power is comparable to that of ordinary wizards.

Although Dudley still has a lot of hole cards that have not been turned out, but who knows that the other party didn't keep a hand?

At least he can be sure that the other party seems to have some scruples, and has never released the famous killing spell in the wizarding world, Avada gnawed on the big melon.

If you say that the other party can't, no one will believe you.

"You're welcome." Firenze snorted like a real horse.

Due to frequent visits to the Forbidden Forest, Dudley and the centaurs had more or less contact with each other.

Ordinary centaurs hate contact with wizards, or any creatures other than centaurs, let alone helping them, except for this centaur named Firenze.

He will help the little wizard who is lost in the Forbidden Forest, and will stand up when the little wizard is in danger.

This is a relatively unique situation among the horse people.

The two greeted briefly, and went forward to check the unicorn's injury. At this time, the unicorn was lying weakly on the ground, and the silver blood dripped all over the ground.

Obviously, it was done by the man in the cloak.

The unicorn's body was seriously injured, with silvery blood oozing out constantly, and black aura constantly emitting from it.

The skin of unicorns has a high resistance to magic, and it must be extremely advanced black magic to be able to hurt like this.

"Mr. Dursley, you should have a way to treat his injuries."

Firenze asked slightly worried.

He was just acquainted with Dudley, and he didn't know that Dudley was just a first-year wizard at Hogwarts. According to Dudley's size and the fact that they often met at night, he took it for granted that he was a Hogwarts subject professor.

Dudley didn't explain much about it either.

Dudley nodded and observed the unicorn's injury for a while, then took out a few bottles of potions from his waist, and carefully began to heal the unicorn.

The little dragon in the sky flapped its wings all the time, acting as a guard very consciously, for fear that the other party would return the carbine again.

"Firenze, you shouldn't have helped them."

The slight sound of hoofbeats sounded again, and several horsemen walked out of the dense forest. One horse had reddish-brown fur, and the other had a pure black body.

Among them, the horse man with a pure black horse body was very emotional and his tone was very unfriendly.

He just said that sentence.

"We have sworn that we will never disobey Providence. Don't you see the omens shown by the movements of the planets?"

The centaur spoke again, loudly questioning Firenze.

The other centaur first looked at the unicorn very sadly, and then at Dudley who was treating the unicorn. He didn't intend to step forward to help, but just said lightly, "Poor guy."

Then he just stood there, watching with cold eyes, without even the intention of asking.

"Are you going to let me stand by? The unicorn is a member of the Forbidden Forest who lives in the same way as us, and this is a wizard from Hogwarts."

Firenze replied without showing any weakness.

"That has nothing to do with us. The stars did not guide us. We are not mules, so there is no need to run around behind humans."

"They might get hurt and die!"

"That was their fate."

Although there was no malice, the tone made Dudley frown slightly, which was very unpleasant.

He was blaming Firenze for being nosy, and he shouldn't have helped himself and the unicorn.

If he didn't know the centaur's history very well, Dudley would definitely give him a good lesson.

It's normal if you don't help yourself, after all, you don't owe me anything. But if you blame others for helping me, then I have a reason to beat you up.

Centaurs are a species that are very obsessed with astrology and divination. Maybe the word obsession is inappropriate. It is simply morbid concentration. If it is not shown, then they will not do it anyway.

Although the centaurs often don't take the initiative to fight with people and are not aggressive, they don't care about anyone except themselves, just like this injured unicorn, even if they see it, they will only sigh a little.

"The innocent suffer first."

"It's been that way for hundreds of years, and it's still the way it is now."

Then walk away silently.

Typical of dying.

They are good at divination, and can see many things from the astrology, and some things are indeed useful, which also causes the horse people to think that they have seen through fate, and they pretend to be prophets, and they always look like everyone is drunk and I am alone. Awakened wise man attitude.

It's actually pretty stupid, which makes centaurs almost the least popular of the humanoid species, and why the Ministry of Magic would rather put vampires and banshees in the human category than give centaurs a place.

They never help others, even if they take the initiative to ask them for help, they will just stand on the sidelines.

So when the centaurs were invaded and attacked, there were no wizards or magical creatures to help them.

And now the centaurs are almost extinct.

In Dudley's words, they were purely contrived.

"Today you stand by when that thing kills the unicorn, and tomorrow you stand by when it kills the other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. When the butcher's knife reaches us, no one will help us."

Firenze sprayed white mist from his nose, and roared excitedly: "We must resist that thing lurking in the forest, it is too dangerous. Bane, if necessary, I will stand with humans."

Firenze saw very clearly that he could beat adult unicorns to the brink of death, and he could also easily kill them centaurs.

It is very necessary to make good friends with the unicorn clan and the wizards of Hogwarts.

The horsemen have no way out.

If he loses his habitat in the Forbidden Forest, he doesn't know where else he can go.
