Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Dean walked back and forth three times in front of the tapestry of the troll beating silly Barnabas, trying to enter the Room of Requirement. As expected, he failed, indicating that there was someone in the Room of Requirement.

Dean estimated the time, and it was probably after Quirrell left his mark that he entered.

Due to the nature of the Room of Requirement, Dean cannot force entry unless he can guess which Room of Requirement Quirrell is entering.

Dean hesitated for a moment and made a choice: Don't worry about Quirrell for the time being, after all, he is the one asking for help; the person he saw sneaking out of the castle was more suspicious, and Dean must not let that person threaten him to the unicorn, thus sabotaging his mission.

Thinking of this, Dean turned around and left.

……

After Dean sneaked out of the castle, he kept using the "Flash Curse" to speed up his speed - the "Flash Curse" was a simple version of apparation that could only move a short distance at a time.

The advantage of the flash spell is that it consumes very little magic power and can be used continuously.

This is the magic spell that Dean has recently mastered - the experience of being chased by the poison horn during the Christmas vacation left a deep impression on him. In order to avoid falling into the same predicament again, Dean learned from the "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells" in the restricted area. ” found this almost forgotten curse.

Dean has only practiced to level 1, and the distance of one flash is about twenty yards. Even so, with continuous use, it is far faster than running speed.

Under the bright moonlight, Dean, shrouded in "phantom fog", is like a ghost. Coupled with the constant flashes, he looks even more weird and mysterious.

Being delayed by Quirrell for a long time, Dean was not sure where the figure he saw before had gone.

However, Dean's main purpose was to prevent the unicorn from being killed and causing the mission to fail, so he went straight to the Forbidden Forest - even if he didn't catch up with the mysterious figure, it was enough to ensure the safety of the unicorn.

As soon as Dean entered the Forbidden Forest, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The silence in the Forbidden Forest was terrifying, as if all the magical creatures living in it had disappeared.

Suddenly, Dean heard the sound of horse hooves, and he immediately activated the invisibility function of Prokos' robe.

"Hurry, quickly outflank him, be sure to block him!" A rough voice shouted loudly, "You dare to attack the unicorn, you are so brave!"

The sound of horse hooves turned to another part of the Forbidden Forest, and Dean's heart sank. Could it be that he was a step too late?

Dean increased the frequency of flashes and rushed in that direction. Soon he saw the figures of several centaurs - but to his confusion, he did not see Firenze.

The centaurs were very fast, and in a short time they formed an encirclement, surrounding a figure covered in a cloak.

Dean caught a glimpse of the figure's face through the moonlight, and it turned out to be Rolf!

Dean felt something was wrong. Only a minute or two after Rolf left the room, Dean saw the figure sneaking out of the castle. If the two were the same person, wouldn't it mean that Rolf had not followed him from the beginning? Is he telling the truth?

Dean remembered clearly that Rolf was eager to leave because he wanted to check out information in the library. If Rolf had planned to come to the Forbidden Forest from the beginning, why did he lie to him?

After the centaurs forced Rolf to stop, they all aimed their bows and arrows at him. Dean could no longer stay out of the situation.

No matter what reason Rolf came here for, Dean couldn't just watch him get hurt.

Thinking of this, Dean ignored the possibility that Rolf would discover his true identity. After releasing his invisibility, he turned into a mist and passed through the encirclement of the centaurs, appearing next to Rolf.

"My friends, centaurs, please wait a moment." Dean said loudly.

Dean almost immediately felt that Rolf was in an abnormal state. His body was shaking unnaturally. It didn't seem like he was afraid, but more like a sign of extreme excitement.

"Imprison him quickly!" After Dean first fixed Rolf in place, he summoned a rope and temporarily tied him up.

Dean was afraid that Rolf would do something irrational on impulse that would lead to conflicting plans, so he took this step.

"Who are you? Are you an accomplice of this guy?" the voice I heard before asked sternly. The owner of the voice was a wild and wild horseman with black hair and a beard. He looked wild and pride.

Maybe it was because Dean's appearance was too incredible, or maybe he caught Rolf as soon as he came up, so although the centaur's eyes were full of vigilance, he finally gave him a chance to speak.

"I am the Mysterious Walker. I think Firenze should have mentioned my name." Dean chuckled and said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding."

After several other centaurs heard the name of the Mysterious Walker, they immediately started whispering.

"Is he the Mysterious Walker?"

"As expected, he is as mysterious as his name suggests."

"He was the one who told Firenze that the unicorn might be attacked!"

……

"Shut up!" the centaur shouted angrily: "I know you, it was you who gave Firenze the prophecy that the Unicorn would be attacked, but this does not mean that I will approve you - who knows Did you deliberately release this news to deceive our trust?"

"Excuse me, are you..." Facing this irritable centaur, Dean had a vague guess.

"Bain!" Bain replied rudely.

Sure enough it was him.

Dean sighed inwardly before saying: "Mr. Bain, I heard Firenze mention you. I want to remind you that if I want to harm the unicorn, wouldn't it be more convenient to do it secretly? You just said You see, with my methods, I won’t alarm you at all.”

"Then how do you explain your support for this guy who is trying to harm the unicorn?" Bain frowned.

He was just grumpy, not reckless, and it must be admitted that Dean's words made sense.

"You must have misunderstood him." Dean glanced at Rolf and found that after he was tied up, instead of struggling, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I know he is a student at Hogwarts and will definitely not be detrimental to unicorns." Dean continued.

"I know, but the foal's identity is not a talisman - Ronan saw this foal preparing to kill a unicorn with his own eyes." Bain said with hot breath from his nostrils.

Ronan has red hair and a beard, a shiny brown body below the waist, and a long red tail. His voice sounds very melancholy and slow compared to Bain: "I must Bain's words may be a slight exaggeration, but I did see the foal approaching a unicorn with a weapon in his hand."

"Weapon? Wand?" Dean asked, "Any wizard in the Forbidden Forest will have a wand, right?"

Along with Bain's sneer, a gleaming dagger was still in front of Dean.
