Chapter 203 Mars is very bright
At this time, in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore was standing quietly on the ruins. There was no expression on his face, and he was terrifyingly calm.
"Dumbledore..." Snape walked over and said, "The students have returned to the castle, and no one was injured."
"Thank you for your hard work, Severus." Dumbledore said.
"What the hell happened here!"
"Obviously, someone wants to use the blood of unicorns to survive..."
Dumbledore bent down, looked at the dying unicorn at his feet and said, "If Hagrid hadn't discovered it in time, it would probably be dead."
"Yes, it's just that the stupid guy almost died now." Snape sneered with disdain: "Is it worth it... just for such a beast?"
"Everyone has their own persistence, Severus, and this persistence is difficult to measure by whether it is worth it or not." Dumbledore said: "Just like when you did it for Li..."
"Dumbledore!" Snape shouted angrily: "Don't mention that name again!"
He gasped for breath, and after a long time he continued: "So, do you know who the person who attacked Hagrid was?"
"I think, yes."
Dumbledore took two steps forward and came to a place covered with black ashes. He bent down and touched the ground.
"Li Huo... it's such a troublesome black magic. If it is left alone, I'm afraid the entire Forbidden Forest will be gone."
Then he stood up again and came to the other side.
On the ground, two centaurs were lying there motionless, with messy footprints surrounding them.
"The Killing Curse..." Dumbledore said softly: "The quiver is half empty. They probably were not killed by the Killing Curse as soon as they met.
It seems that he is very weak, and the unicorn's blood can only delay his life, but it cannot restore his strength."
Every time Dumbledore said a word, Snape's face turned uglier.
"As you said before...he doesn't dare to kill anyone now!"
"Dare not and can't are two different things." Dumbledore said calmly: "No matter how many centaurs die, it will not affect Hogwarts, and the same goes for Hagrid.
Because he knows that parents and school directors will not care about them. As long as the students do not die, Hogwarts will not be closed, and he will still have a chance to get the Sorcerer's Stone."
"This is just your guess." Snape said coldly.
"You are right." Dumbledore nodded and said: "None of us know his true thoughts, which is why I asked for the suspension of the Quidditch game."
After a brief silence.
Taking a chance, Snape suddenly asked: "Is it possible that Oren is back, and he can also use the Fire Curse and the Death Curse."
"As far as I know, he is currently hiding from Aurors in the north and will not be able to come back in a short time.
And if it were him, Hagrid probably wouldn't be able to leave the Forbidden Forest alive."
The scene fell into silence again, until a dull sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
"Watch him for me, please? Do you know who it is..." Dumbledore said softly.
Snape didn't respond and left without saying a word.
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and soon, a group of strong horsemen armed with bows and arrows appeared around.
"Don't move!"
"...Mr. Dumbledore?" After seeing the person in front of him clearly, the leader of the centaurs quickly asked the others to put down their weapons.
He stepped forward and asked: "Why are you here, and what happened around you..."
"As you can see, Magery." Dumbledore said: "Someone tried to kill a unicorn, and Hagrid and the two centaurs were affected."
Only then did Margery notice that two centaurs had died beside him.
Suddenly there was a sound of stamping front hooves.
Margery stepped forward and said with some choking: "Druji...Lula...they are all brave warriors!"
"Ronan, Firenze, send them back to the tribe. I think they prefer to stay where the iris flowers are blooming."
Two centaurs came out...
When Magorry looked at Dumbledore again, he had become very calm.
"Dumbledore, the recent Mars is very bright, very bright... You have to be prepared, this is just the beginning, and it is far from the end."
Dumbledore bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Magaret."
"I just don't want to see any more centaurs die tragically."
"Good luck to you, Mr. Dumbledore, and... Mr. Scamander."
After saying that, he took the other centaurs and left.
Dumbledore did not move. He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the unicorn.
An old figure appeared there at some point. He was lowering his head and gently stroking the scarred body of the unicorn.
In addition, there is a phoenix standing on his shoulders.
"How is it?" Dumbledore asked.
"It's very bad. She lost a lot of blood and there are many traces of black magic on her body, which makes her very weak." Newt raised his head and said: "But fortunately, she was discovered in time and her life is not in danger."
"That's great." Dumbledore said: "It helped Hagrid block two fatal curses. If it died, I really don't know what to tell Hagrid."
"No." Newt said softly. He took out a bottle of potion and fed it to the unicorn, and then took out another bottle and applied it on its wound.
The originally frightened unicorn became much calmer and gradually fell asleep under Newt's comfort.
Only then did Newt take out a box and carefully put it in.
After leaving the Forbidden Forest, the two came to the principal's office.
"I'm sorry to have to come all the way to call you."
Dumbledore poured Newt a cup of black tea and said half-jokingly: "But I really don't trust Professor Kettleburn to take care of unicorns anymore, otherwise Hogwarts will probably have two professors next year."
Already."
Newt also recalled the incident last year when Professor Kettleburn was stabbed in the stomach by a unicorn, and smiled without saying anything.
That professor was indeed a little reckless sometimes.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
Dumbledore looked at the box in Newt's hand and asked thoughtfully: "Have you ever given Kyle a box like this?"
"puff……"
Newt squirted out the black tea with a sip.
Or maybe Dumbledore is the strongest white wizard, and his reaction is very quick. He turned sideways and avoided it, without even a drop of water getting on his long beard.
But Fox behind him was not so lucky.
The black tea was not wasted at all, all of it was sprayed on it.
"Don't get excited, I'm just asking."
Dumbledore blinked and said, "I had this idea after Halloween, but neither I nor the other professors saw him take any boxes."
"Well... maybe... he didn't bring it..." Newt mumbled vaguely.
Fortunately, someone, or rather a bird, helped him out at this time.
After a brief moment of confusion, Fawkes came to his senses, shook off his feathers, and began to angrily peck Dumbledore's beard.
"Hey, Fawkes, it was Newt who poured the tea..." Dumbledore explained, obviously not wanting to take the blame.
But Fawkes turned a deaf ear. It didn't see Newt, it only saw that Dumbledore didn't help it block the water.
And Fox really didn't tolerate him at all, and he could peck out a bunch of silver-white beard with every mouthful.
Dumbledore hurriedly covered his beard, his voice changing with distress.
