Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"This is Bai Xian. Wild Bai Xian, especially such a large cluster. Apart from the Forbidden Forest, you can only see it in some deep mountains and old forests."

Alexis introduced Hermione as she walked.

Alexis was not very familiar with the Forbidden Forest. Every plant and tree here made him feel familiar.

"Keep going along that way, and then turn right, which is the spider's territory. It's more dangerous for you."

Alexis led Hermione along the footsteps.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, although the footprints were messy, they were not complicated. They went straight ahead without going back and forth.

This shows that at least one of the students who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest is very familiar with the Forbidden Forest.

It seems true that there are curious people in every class of students.

"Over there, there is a lake over there, and there are many aquatic plants growing on the lakeside."

As they walked and introduced, Alexis felt as comfortable as walking in her own back garden.

This attitude was also affecting Hermione, allowing her to relax, who had been nervous since entering the Forbidden Forest.

As they walked, there was a sudden noise in front of them, causing the two of them to stop.

Alexis listened carefully for a moment and whispered

"It's Firenze."

"Firenze?"

"Yes." Alexis pulled Hermione and walked forward gently. "There is a tribe of centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest."

"Centaurs do not use magic wands, but they are very good at magic healing, divination, archery and astronomy. Their divination methods are very strange."

"They would perform divination by looking at the stars in the sky, and sometimes they would burn sage and mallow to further interpret the divination results."

"Horse people respect nature and are close to nature. They have a strong sense of territory."

While talking, the two came to a bush and hid.

Not far away from the two of them, a group of centaurs were surrounding several students, asking them sternly about their purpose.

"Look, it's obvious that the student who is familiar with the Forbidden Forest didn't do his homework. They broke into the centaurs' territory."

Alexis did not rush to save the situation, but instead pointed to the field and introduced it to Hermione.

"Aren't you going to save them?"

Hermione asked.

"No need." Alexis shook his head. "Centaurs are a race that advocates peace. They will not hurt others at will."

"What's more, I do encourage you to combine theory with practice and apply what you have learned, but I hope you can solve the difficulties on your own."

After a pause, Alexis shook her head and said "It's not right for them to do that."

Alexis pointed at the students arguing loudly with the centaurs and said, "This will anger the centaurs tribe, and they will suffer."

Glancing at the students who were still arguing loudly with the centaurs, Alexis lowered his head and continued, "Although centaurs are classified as beasts, anyone who knows something about centaurs will not underestimate them. "

"Being classified as a beast is because the centaurs do not want to 'complicit' with werewolves and vampires. In fact, they are very powerful."

The wizarding world does not have a good standard for measuring the strength of wizards, but there is a standard that is not a standard, which is the tacit consensus of everyone: a wizard who can cast spells without a wand or cast spells silently is definitely difficult to deal with. .

Regardless of whether the centaurs are due to racial characteristics or other reasons, as a group of people who do not use magic wands as a whole race, no one except ignorant people will look down upon them.

Apparently, the leading student was making such a mistake.

According to the racial classification issued by the Ministry of Magic, centaurs, as beasts, are often looked down upon by people who do not know what they are doing. People who are highly intelligent creatures often subconsciously show superiority when facing beasts. Despise beasts.

Seeing that the centaur was unmoved, the student in the field had already begun to draw out his wand and prepare for a fight. Several students behind him also followed suit and made similar movements. They formed a circle and did not expose their backs. To the horse people.

"This strategy against the enemy is very advisable." Alexis nodded in agreement. "Especially when facing an enemy who is stronger than yourself, you must trust your companions and never expose your back to the enemy. That will It’s fatal.”

While talking, the students have begun to release the magic spell, and a wonderful battle is about to begin.

Alexis changed into a comfortable position and looked out from behind the bushes with interest, ready to examine the strength of the Hogwarts students.

"Sir, are you really not going to stop them?"

Hermione asked in a low voice as she nudged Alexis.

"No. The centaurs won't hurt them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the battle that Alexis had been looking forward to was over.

The students, who had never really faced an enemy before, were nervous, excited and other reasons, which directly led to the shockingly low success rate of their first spell activation, and then they were swarmed by the centaurs and scattered the formation.

The students who lost the advantage of taking the initiative faced the danger of being attacked from both sides. Their movements and spells became even more deformed, and they were quickly annihilated by the centaurs.

The students were tied up tightly and lined up, looking like freshly caught bamboo rats.

"Hey."

Alexis sighed, shook her head and stepped out from behind the bushes.

"Who!"

Firenze shouted sharply, and the centaur team gathered together at a very fast speed and pointed directly at the bushes.

"It's me, Alexis."

Alexis' voice came from behind the bushes.

"Firenzé. It's me."

Alexis led Hermione out of the bushes and to the centaurs.

"Alexis."

Firenze saw the person coming clearly and waved to let his compatriots go, but there was not much joy in meeting old friends on his face.

"Professor Alexis!"

Seeing Alexis, the students who were subdued by the centaur's move started shouting again.

Alexis glanced at it and ignored it. Instead, he came to Firenze and said enthusiastically, "Firenze, long time no see."

"Ah."

Firenze seemed unhappy and squeezed out a syllable from his nasal cavity.

"These students, let them go first?"

Firenze glanced at Alexis, but still did not speak. He waved his hand, and the compatriots behind him untied the students.

As soon as they were freed from their restraints, the students stood up and ran behind Alexis in a huff and puff.

"The werewolf hasn't been found yet?"

"No." Firenze was not silent this time. "Cunning werewolves, they are like a nest of dirty rats, they only hide."

If you don't know what to talk about when you meet a centaur, then call him a werewolf or a vampire. This is the fastest way to build a relationship between you and the centaur.

Alexis forgot which book he had seen such a statement in, but it was obvious that this method was very effective.

Firenze, who was unwilling to speak, spoke a few words at once.

"You have to be careful." Alexis thought for a while and warned, "Well, you wait for me first, and I will patrol with you after I send them back."

"No need." Firenze shook his head and said firmly, "You should leave here as soon as possible."

"We're all old friends, don't be so straight-faced."

Alexis smiled and hugged Firenze's shoulder, patted her, and let go before Firenze got angry.

"Then I'll go first."
