Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 170 The fate of the centaurs (2 in 1)

Draco Malfoy slowly opened his eyes, he was very weak now.

There were bumps all around, and severe pain came from my legs from time to time, as if my entire right leg could no longer move...

What happened?

Where are you?

What should I do?

His mind was a little confused for a moment.

Wait, he remembered... He encountered the centaurs' rebellion in the Forbidden Forest, and was captured by the centaurs...

In addition, when he was taken away, Malfoy was hit by an arrow in the knee of his right leg. This is also the source of severe pain in my right leg.

And now, he was lying on the back of a centaur... His body was covered with the fur of an unknown animal. I'm afraid it was because of this that he didn't freeze to death in the ice and snow!

The centaur suddenly stopped, and the surrounding environment became dark. He seemed to be carried into a cave by the centaur——

"Ouch!" Malfoy couldn't help but wailed, because he was thrown to the ground roughly by the centaur.

Then, another fat piece of meat was thrown on Malfoy... almost suffocating him.

It seems...Crabbe?

As well as Goyle and Nott, all four of them were captured; and this cave seemed to be where they were imprisoned.

Malfoy raised his head and glanced at the centaur who brought him here——

He has red hair and a beard, but has a brown-red horse body from the waist down, and drags a long red tail.

The centaur walked into the cave, and then came to them carrying a large bundle of hay...

Throwing the hay in front of them, the centaur said: "If it is too cold at night, just put this grass on your body."

"Thank you... thank you..." Draco Malfoy said tremblingly. He wrapped the animal skin tightly around his body and ignored the hay.

In fact, it was hard for Malfoy to imagine sleeping in hay at night.

"Excuse me..." Crabbe said suddenly.

Obviously, he had woken up long ago.

"Is there...anything to eat...I'm a little hungry..."

The centaur with red hair and beard frowned, and he went deep into the cave again. This time he took out a small bag of something that looked like buckwheat, and it seemed to have been roasted.

He threw it to Crabbe.

Crabbe hurriedly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth...but soon, his expression suddenly changed, and he spit out all the buckwheat-like "food".

Apparently, it must be too unpalatable.

This is rare, after all, in Malfoy's memory, Crabbe has never been picky about food... He can eat black pudding or look up at the stars with gusto.

"This thing is completely inedible!" Crabbe couldn't help complaining.

But soon, he glanced timidly at the centaur... Apparently, he suddenly realized that he was actually the centaur's prisoner.

The centaur with red hair and beard walked over coldly and picked up the small bag on the ground.

Grabbing a handful of buckwheat, he stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it nonchalantly.

"Don't waste it!" the centaur said, "We don't have much food, especially in winter, any bit of food is precious."

"Perhaps only you centaurs can swallow this stuff..." Since the centaurs never showed any hostility, Crabbe mustered up his courage and whispered.

"The diet of centaurs is exactly the same as that of humans!" The centaur with red hair and beard retorted coldly.

Neither Malfoy nor Crabbe dared to say anything at this time.

……

After most of the day, it was late at night.

A few pampered boys no longer care about their "demeanor".

They huddled together and piled all the hay the centaurs gave them around them... But even so, the cold winter night kept them unable to sleep...

it's too cold!

Without their wands (which had been taken away by the centaurs a long time ago), they were very hungry, and the bitter cold... they couldn't sleep at all.

Perhaps he was very hungry, so Goyle picked up the bag of buckwheat-like grain on the ground, then grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

His face also became very ugly...but in the end he still didn't spit it out.

"At least it's better than going hungry," Goyle whispered.

The other three remained silent and agreed.

They quickly divided and ate the small bag of buckwheat-like grain... The pungent smell made them want to vomit, but because of hunger, they still had to swallow it forcefully...

The centaur with red hair and beard who was responsible for guarding them was lying not far away from them... He was also made of animal skins and hay, and he ate the same barley-shaped, inedible food. It seems no different from them.

……

Until the next day, the four Slytherins spent an extremely difficult night in the cave.

Theodore Nott seemed to have a fever, and the other three were also very weak. If they stay in this place for a few more days, their lives will definitely be in danger.

Now we can only hope that Principal Grindelwald can come and rescue them soon.

At the same time, they were also very afraid that these damn centaurs would do something bad to him.

A sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from outside the cave, and the red-haired and bearded centaur stood up.

Then, another centaur broke in. He had black hair and a dark body, and looked rougher than the previous centaur.

"Ronan!" The centaur with black hair and body shouted loudly, "How are the prisoners? They didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

"These foals are very well-behaved, Baine," the centaur called "Ronan" said, his voice melancholy, "but they seem unable to withstand the cold night in the Forbidden Forest..."

"Then they deserve to be frozen to death!" the centaur known as "Bane" said very rudely, "Our foals have survived in such an environment day and night... "

"We never harm foals, Baine," Ronan said slowly, "This is the tradition of the centaurs..."

"Non-aggression and harmonious coexistence with wizards were once our traditions..." Bain said viciously, "Then we were driven out of the Forbidden Forest by them and rushed to this small piece of the most barren forest... Our foals are freezing to death and starving to death...Why don’t those wizards consider tradition?”

"I hope the Venus will be very bright tonight..." Ron sighed and said a little vaguely.

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have cut off the heads of these young colts and thrown them into the castle to show the wizards the anger of the centaurs!" Bain said angrily.

Malfoy and the others were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out, and huddled there shivering.

Fortunately, the rude centaur did not take action and left quickly.

Malfoy and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, while continuing to pray that Professor Grindelwald would come to rescue them as soon as possible.

……

Baine the Centaur left their cave, but he didn't get far.

A younger centaur stopped him. His hair was platinum blond and he had the body of a silver-maned horse.

There was also a burly man with the centaur. His face was almost hidden by his long unkempt hair and thick tangled beard, but his pair of black beetle-like eyes could still be seen shining under his hair.

Bain stopped: "Firenze... and... Hagrid?"

"Merlin's Beard, Bain, what have you done?" Rubeus Hagrid shouted, walking towards Bain like a giant.

"I've had enough of that damn gamekeeper and his little pets!" Bain roared angrily, "They have frequently provoked us in the past few months... I can't stand it anymore, I just do it I did what I should do to resist... I responded to my call, and all my young compatriots supported me!"

"Damn it, and then you launched an attack on Hogwarts?" Hagrid said in disbelief, "If Firenze hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that such a thing had happened..."

"That's right!" Bain said very proudly, "Those wizards fled and we won...the centaurs occupied Hogwarts!"

"This is not normal..." the young centaur Firenze suddenly said, "There is some conspiracy hidden in this, I can feel it..."

"I don't want to care about any conspiracy anymore!" Bain roared rudely, "I just want to take revenge on the wizard... I just want to take back our Forbidden Forest... I just want to let our compatriots and our horses I won't starve or freeze to death in the winter... There is enough food and firewood in that castle..."

"At least we have to calm down," Firenze advised. "You should also know very well, Bain... how terrible the opponent we face... the wizard who cannot even be mentioned..."

"But he fled and left Hogwarts behind. The centaurs won!" Bain seemed to have been dazzled by the victory in front of him.

Hagrid and Firenze looked at each other.

They all knew how stubborn the centaur named "Bain" was... It was almost impossible to persuade him with words.

At the same time, Bain has a high prestige among some young centaurs... His simple and crude views are also recognized by many young centaurs...

……

Firenze also wanted to offer a final exhortation.

"Calm down, Bain..." he said, "Have you forgotten our plan and our agreement with the Order of the Phoenix..."

"The Order of the Phoenix is ​​also a wizard!" Bain suddenly darkened his face.

He looked at Hagrid with some hostility.

"What are you talking about? We have always been allies!" Hagrid said with some displeasure, "We are here to help you!"

"The centaurs and wizards were once allies, non-aggression allies..." Bain glanced at Hagrid with suspicion and said coldly, "The point of view of the devil who cannot be named, he believes that wizards are higher For everything... In his eyes, even a hybrid giant like you is still a wizard, no different from an ordinary wizard..."

"...If you turn your back to him, you will be treated with courtesy by him, and you will become a superior wizard..." Bain continued, "So why should I trust you? You are not centaurs, and you may betray centaurs at any time. …”

Hagrid was speechless for a moment. He was not good at talking.

"Because we are afraid..." A clear voice suddenly came from behind.

"Lily!" Hagrid suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Hagrid, after I received your letter, I took the risk and rushed here; it's unimaginable that something like this happened..." The voice continued, and finally transformed into the appearance of a girl.

She looked to be in her early thirties, and she might have been beautiful once, but now her face had a vicissitude that did not belong to her age; she also had long dark red hair and almond-shaped green eyes.

"What are you afraid of?" Bain asked rudely.

"Hagrid's mother is a giant, and my parents are both Muggles..." Lily Evans said calmly, "Of course, in Grindelwald's eyes, we are all wizards now..."

Both centaurs shuddered when she spoke the name.

"but……"

"At first they were chasing goblins, and we didn't say anything - because we were not goblins, we were wizards..." Lily Evans continued:

"...Then they hunted the centaurs, and we didn't say anything - because we were not centaurs, we were wizards..."

"...Later they hunted down Muggles and giants, but we didn't say anything - because we are not Muggles and giants, we are wizards..."

"...In the end they come to us, they will say that half-blood wizards are not wizards, and Muggle-born wizards are not wizards... By then, no one will stand up to speak for us..."

Bain immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

Lily Evans spoke again: "Grindelwald is very powerful. His conspiracy is not limited to what we can see in front of us. His plan will be more terrifying than all of us imagined... We must unite together." , unite all available forces..."

Bain seemed to feel that he could not defeat the witch in front of him.

He didn't speak anymore, but turned around and walked away, heading in the direction of Hogwarts.

……

"We still failed to convince him in the end..." Hagrid couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey!" Firenze shook his head helplessly, "Miss Evans, what should we do..."

"There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy," Lily Evans said in a low voice, "I'm afraid the centaurs must leave the Forbidden Forest completely... Firenze, gather all the tribesmen you can convince... Follow Hagrid, Escape to the mountains, this is probably the only way to survive... As for Bain and the others, I'm afraid..."

"Yeah, maybe you can live happily this way," Firenze's eyes suddenly became a little confused:

"But what should we do in the future? Does the Order of the Phoenix really have enough power to defeat him?"

"We didn't..." Lily Evans shook her head.

But her voice suddenly became firm: "But, we have... hope..."

"Last hope!"
