Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 35: Warning from the centaur
"Damn wizard!" The centaur who fell to the ground because of the rope bondage, struggled and roared angrily: "You will pay the price for your actions one day!"
"Shut up!" said Professor Kettleburn coldly, waving the wand on the prosthetic right arm again.
Another bundle of ropes, this time tied the centaur's mouth, which also made the centaur unable to make a sound.
The appearance of Professor Silvanos Kettleburn is almost the same as before; if he was an amiable professor before, then he is now a vicious hunter.
There was another sound of horseshoes coming from the other side of the bushes, and then another centaur walked into the open space.
Its appearance is almost exactly the same as the previous centaur, except that its hair, beard and tail are all brown-red.
"Let go of Baine, Kettleburn, we have no malicious intentions in this trip." The centaur's voice was low and sad.
"But I have to be more vigilant." Professor Kettleburn waved the wand in his hand as he said, "Professor Grindelwald generously allocated a large habitat for you to survive. , multiply, but you dare to invade the territory of wizards again!"
"No, this is not an infringement." The centaur explained, his voice still full of sorrow: "This is a warning..."
"Warning?" Professor Kettleburn pouted.
The centaur raised his head and stared at the sky:
"Venus is very bright today, very bright."
"I'm not interested in playing charades with you." Professor Kettleburn said disdainfully: "Go back to your habitat now, and I can pretend that this thing didn't happen; otherwise, if I will Tell Professor Grindelwald about this..."
When he heard Grindelwald's name, the sad-faced centaur suddenly shivered.
"We don't usually use this name." It slowed down, looked up at the sky again, and said at the same time.
"Then hurry up and bring your companions!" Professor Kettleburn issued the order to evict the guest.
Almost at the same time, more horse hooves sounded from the other side of the bush, with a great momentum... As a series of vigorous bodies swarmed out of the bush, they almost knocked Kettleburn away. The professor and Matthew are surrounded in the center.
They are all centaurs, at least twenty of them, and many of them hold bows and arrows or other weapons in their hands.
After seeing the wizard, many of these centaurs had angry expressions on their faces, and of course many centaurs also looked a little scared.
Professor Kettleburn's face also changed slightly. The sudden appearance of so many adult centaurs was somewhat beyond his expectations. Even as a senior hunting ground manager, he is a bit tricky now.
Not to mention, he also brought a "drag oil bottle" student with him.
Matthew leaned towards Professor Kettleburn calmly, and at the same time squeezed the teapot in his hand, ready to smash it anytime.
He also realized that something was wrong.
I hope the little things in this teapot can come in handy at critical moments.
……
"So, are you planning to rebel again?" Professor Kettleburn said calmly, his eyes moving from one centaur after another.
"We have no such intention, Professor Kettleburn!" A younger voice came from behind the bushes.
Then, another centaur came out. Its hair was platinum-blond and it had the body of a silver-maned horse.
"Firenzie!" Professor Kettleburn's voice softened slightly: "I need an explanation!"
The centaur didn't hold any weapons, and it slowly walked up to Kettleburn and Matthew... Matthew found that its eyes were amazingly blue, like faint sapphires.
"Because of the forest, it is no longer safe!" Firenze said leisurely.
"No, the forest is safe!" Professor Kettleburn responded unceremoniously: "Because I guard this place."
"You, you don't understand, Kettleburn." Firenze explained, with a nice voice: "There is something that doesn't belong to the Forbidden Forest, mixed in here... The horse people won't be its The opponent, you will not be its opponent... The only one who can really deal with it is..."
"Enough!" shouted Professor Kettleburn, interrupting Firenze: "You don't need to fool me with your half-assed astrological predictions, I'm not interested in this kind of stuff... and I can Make sure, those are the eyes of Professor Grindelwald, who can see farther than you!"
Among the horse people, strange emotions appeared one after another at this time.
Some centaurs were roaring, some were pawing the ground with their horseshoes~IndoMTL.com~ and some couldn't help but tremble.
"This is just a warning, or a suggestion." Firenze said earnestly.
"Then I received it!" Professor Kettleburn nodded, and then he shook his head again: "But horse people, you'd better pay attention to your behavior, so as not to cause any misunderstanding..."
"What happened today was just a misunderstanding..." Firenze said softly, "We just want to find you as soon as possible and convey this message..."
"Then, is it a misunderstanding that you secretly contacted that half-blood giant Hagrid?" Professor Kettleburn asked abruptly.
Matthew noticed that the expression on the face of the centaur Firenze suddenly changed.
At the same time, there were bursts of commotion among the horse crowd.
"Take your companions and let's go!" Professor Kettleburn waved his hand: "But, please remember—"
"Lord Grindelwald's kindness is limited!"
……
There was another sound of messy hooves, and the horsemen left.
The sound of hooves is getting farther and farther away. Around Matthew, calm was restored once again.
"Let's go, Wakefield." Professor Kettleburn once again held his wand in his left hand, and at the same time bent down, patted Tom the cat and raccoon's head:
"Hey, little Tom, continue to take us to the vampire's lair!"
Maolizi barked a few times in dissatisfaction, but still picked up the ham and continued walking forward.
"Professor Kettleburn." Matthew thought for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "What is the half-blood giant Hagrid you mentioned just now?"
Professor Kettleburn didn't look back, but said plainly:
"Just a dark wizard."
