Chapter 170: The Fate of the Horseman (2 in 1)
Draco Malfoy gradually opened his eyes, he was weak now.
There was a bumpy rush around, and severe pain came from the legs from time to time, as if the whole right leg could no longer move...
What exactly happened?
Where are you?
What am I going to do?
His mind was a little confused for a moment.
Wait, he remembered... He was the horsemen who were rebelled in the forbidden forest and was then captured by the horsemen...
In addition, when he was captured, Malfoy was shot in the knee of his right leg. This is also the source of severe pain in his right leg.
And now, he was lying on the back of a horseman... His body was covered with a fur of an unknown animal. I'm afraid it was because of this thing that he was not frozen to death in the snow!
The horse man suddenly stopped, and the surrounding environment became darker. He seemed to be carried into a cave by the horse man-
"Ouch!" Malfoy couldn't help but let out a wail because he was thrown to the ground by the horseman very roughly.
Then, another fat piece of meat was thrown on Malfoy... and almost made him breathless.
It seems... Crab?
There were also Gole and Nott, all four of them were captured; and this cave seemed to be the place where they were detained.
Malfoy looked up and glanced at the horseman who brought him here-
He had red hair and beard, but his waist and below were brown-red horses, and he also dragged a long red tail.
The horseman walked into the cave and then carried a large bundle of hay to them...
Throwing the hay in front of them, the horse man said, "If it's too cold at night, put the grass on you."
"Thank you...thank you..." Draco Malfoy said tremblingly, wrapping his skin tightly, ignoring the hay.
In fact, for Malfoy, it was hard for him to imagine falling asleep in hay at night.
"May I ask..." Crab, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.
Obviously, he had woken up long ago.
"Are you...I'm a little hungry..."
The red-haired and bearded horseman frowned, and he once again got into the depths of the cave, this time he took out a small bag of buckwheat-like stuff, and it seemed to have been roasted.
He threw it to Crab.
Crab hurriedly grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth... But soon, his face suddenly changed, and he spit out all the "food" like buckwheat.
Obviously, it should be too unpalatable.
This is rare. After all, in Malfoy's memory, Crab never picks on food... He can usually eat with relish even if he is a black pudding or looking up at the starry sky.
"This thing is completely unswallowed!" Crab couldn't help complaining.
But soon, he glanced at the horse man timidly again... Obviously, he suddenly realized that he was actually a captive to the horse man.
The red-haired and bearded horse man walked over coldly and picked up the small bag on the ground.
He grabbed a handful of buckwheat, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew without caring.
"Don't waste!" said the horse man, "We don't have much food, especially in winter, where any food is precious."
"Maybe only you horsemen can swallow this thing..." Since the horsemen had never shown any hostility, Crab mustered up the courage and whispered.
Fortunately, the rough horse man did not take action, but left quickly.
Malfoy and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to pray that Professor Grindelwald would come and rescue them as soon as possible.
...
The horseman Bain left their cave, but he couldn't go much far.
A younger horseman stopped him, his hair was platinum and his body was a pair of silver-maned horses.
Along with the horse man, there was also a burly man whose face was almost covered by his long, messy hair and tangled thick beard, but his eyes, which were still visible, were shining under his hair.
Bain stopped: "Ferenze...and...Hagne?"
"Merlin's beard, Bain, what have you done?" Ruber Hager shouted, and he walked towards Bain like a giant.
"I've had enough of that damn hunting ground guard and his little pets!" Bain roared angrily, "They have frequently provoked us in the past few months... I can't stand it, I just did the resistance I should have... I responded with all my responses, and my younger compatriots supported me!"
"Damn it, then you attacked Hogwarts again?" Haeger said in disbelief. "If Ferenze had notified me, I wouldn't have imagined that such a thing happened..."
"That's right!" Bain said proudly, "The wizards fled in panic, and we won... The horses occupied Hogwarts!"
"This is not normal..." The young horseman Ferenze suddenly spoke, "I can feel what conspiracy is hidden here..."
"I don't want to pay attention to any conspiracy!" Bain shouted rudely, "I just want to retaliate against the wizard... I just want to take back our forbidden forest... I just want our fellow countrymen, our foals, to no longer be starved to death or freeze to death in winter... There is enough food and firewood in that castle..."
"At least we have to calm down," Ferrenze advised, "you should also know very well, Bain... how terrible the opponent we are facing... that wizard whose name cannot be mentioned..."
"But he fled in panic and left Hogwarts, and the Horseman won!" Bain seemed to be blinded by the victory in front of him.
Hager and Ferenze looked at each other.
They all knew very well that this horse man named "Bain" was stubborn at his personality... It was almost impossible to persuade him with words.
At the same time, Bain has a very high prestige among some young horsemen... His simple and crude view is also recognized by many young horsemen...
...
Ferenze also wanted to give the final advice.
"Calm down, Bain..." he said, "Did you forget our plan and the agreement between us and the Order of the Phoenix..."
"The Order of the Phoenix is also a wizard!" Bain suddenly lowered his face.
He looked at Hagrid with a little hostility.
"We have always been allies, what are you talking about!" Haeger said with some displeasure, "We are here to help you!"
"The horse man and the wizard were also allies, non-aggressive ally..." Bain glanced at Hagrid with a suspicious look and said coldly, "The view of the devil who cannot even name it, he believes that wizards are above everything else... In his eyes, even a mixed-race giant like you are also a wizard, and there is no difference between them and ordinary wizards..."
"...If you turn to join him, you will be treated with him and become a noble wizard..." Bain continued, "so why should I believe you, you are not horsemen, you may betray horsemen at any time..."
Hagrid was speechless for a moment, and he was not good at talking.
"Because we are afraid..." A crisp voice suddenly came from behind.
"Lily!" Haeger shouted excitedly.
"Hagge, after I received your letter, I ventured over; it was hard to imagine that such a thing happened..." the voice continued, and finally turned into a girl's appearance.
She looked in her early thirties, perhaps she used to be very beautiful, but now she has a little bit of vicissitudes of life that is not her age; she has long crimson hair and almond-shaped green eyes.
"What are you afraid of?" Bain asked rudely.
"Hagher'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..."
When she said this name, the two horsemen couldn't help but shudder.
"but……"
"At first they chased the goblins, we didn't say anything - because we are not goblins, we are wizards..." Lily Evans continued:
"…Then they chased the horsemen, and we didn't speak--because we were not horsemen, we were wizards..."
"… Later they chased the Muggles and the Giants, and we didn't speak - because we were not Muggles and the Giants, we were wizards..."
"...... Finally they came to us. They would say that the mixed-race wizards are not wizards, and the Muggle-born wizards are not wizards... By that time, no one would stand up and talk to us again..."
Bain immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
Lily Evans spoke again: "Grindelwald is powerful. His conspiracy is not far from what we can see before us. His plans will be more terrifying than all of us imagined... We must unite and unite all the powers that can be used..."
Bain seemed to feel that he could not say the witch in front of him.
He stopped talking, but turned around and walked towards Hogwarts.
...
"We finally couldn't convince him..." Haeger couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey!" Ferenze shook his head helplessly, "Miss Evans, what should we do..."
"No doubt, this is a conspiracy," Lily Evans said in a low voice. "I'm afraid the horses must leave the Forbidden Forest completely...Ferenze, concentrate all the tribesmen you can convince... Follow Hagrid and escape to the mountains. This is probably the only way to survive... As for Bain and the others, I'm afraid..."
"Yes, maybe this will make you live a life of silence," Ferenze's eyes suddenly became a little confused:
"But what should I do in the future? Is the Order of the Phoenix really strong enough to defeat him?"
"We don't..." Lily Evans shook his head.
But her voice suddenly became firm: "But, we have... hope..."
"The last hope!"
