The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

"You are here to help my students." A muffled voice came, and Moriarty and the others saw a tall figure coming out of the woods not far away.

It was a burly man. His face was almost completely concealed by long unkempt hair and a thick, tangled beard. He was wearing a large brown coat and was carrying two bales of hay.

"I'm Rubeus Hagrid. Mr. Filch told me about you, uh... Slytherin house, all right, all right, come with me. Fangs, let's go!"

Hagrid looked a little indifferent, and walked towards another forest. Ralpo and Keith were obviously not satisfied with Hagrid's attitude, and reluctantly followed Moriarty.

On the way, Jericho said, "Mr. Hagrid, what do we need to do?"

"Good question, I almost forgot to say," Hagrid stopped and let go of his hands. Two bales of hay fell to the ground. He pointed to the hay and said, "The one on my left is sage, and the one on my right is sage." Mallow, you need to collect a lot of sage and mallow in this forest, and then give it to me, it's as simple as that."

"It's that simple?" Lalpo said lightly, "If it's so simple, why can't you collect it yourself?"

Hagrid glanced at him, and quickly looked away with great disdain.

"Sweet mallow grows in the ground, but sage is not easy to pull out. If the demand is not so large, I still have some stock, but the horse people need too much this time, and they asked me for help... oh!"

Hagrid covered his mouth; he said he slipped.

The little wizards all laughed, and Jericho nodded: "Aha, so the centaurs are involved."

Moriarty picked up a stick of sage, and a faint fragrance came to his nostrils. He said to Hagrid, "The centaurs are good at stargazing. In order to further interpret the results of stargazing, they usually burn sage and incense. mallow.

So the centaurs must have encountered some complicated astrological changes, right Hagrid. "

Hagrid shook his head: "I don't know, Firenze just asked me to find these hay, act quickly, oh yes, we'd better divide into two groups."

Jericho, Percy and the others all stood behind Moriarty, Hagrid curled his lips in embarrassment, and Fangya stood at his feet.

"Marcus, you are in the same group as Mr. Hagrid." Moriarty winked at his follower, "You help Mr. Hagrid collect the mallow, and we will collect the sage."

Marcus nodded understandingly, and after everyone formed a team, the two teams walked in two directions.

Moriarty heard Marcus say to Hagrid in an unprofessional tone: "Mr. Hagrid, I heard that there is a group of hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest. Those big guys are really lovely. I mean, I like them. And yes, I'm planning to take Care of Magical Creatures next year."

Jericho heard it too, and whistled: "When did Marcus become interested in Fantastic Beasts?"

"I suggested that he study magical beasts, so that at least he could learn something." Moriarty dismissed the matter lightly.

As they went deeper into the woods, they saw clusters of sage. Moriarty tapped the ground under his feet with the Slytherin staff, and the sage that was difficult to pull out automatically flew out of the soil.

Keith said with a smile: "It's really too simple. Professor Dumbledore is right. Walking with Mr. Moriarty is like an outing."

More and more sage was piled on the ground to form a haystack, and Moriarty said, "I think that should be enough."

"No, child, not enough." A gentle voice came from the nearby woods, followed by a rustling sound, and a centaur came out of the darkness.

Jericho and the others pulled out their wands. The centaur said what they just said. Although the words were very gentle, the centaur held a bow and arrow in his hand.

Moriarty took a few steps towards the centaur, and said, "We are Hogwarts students, and together with Hagrid, we will look for sage through divination for you."

The centaur's strangely blue eyes looked at Moriarty without blinking: "I know, the astrology tells me that you may come these few days, so I often come out to look for you, I am Firenze, I No malice, nice to meet you, Slytherin."

"The astrology also told you my name?" Moriarty looked at Firenze.

This centaur has platinum-blonde hair, but it is brown-red below the waist, with a shiny horse body and a long silver-white tail dragging behind it.

Firenze stammered a bit: "Well... the astrology always tells us a lot..."

Then, he changed a serious tone: "The centaurs have revealed the mystery of the movement of stars in the universe for centuries. Our research results tell us that from the sky above our heads, we may be able to see future.

——This is different from the future in your impression. What will I eat tomorrow morning? Can I get extra points for the day after tomorrow class? How many excellent grades can I get in the final exam? These are not the future, perhaps that is destiny...

And we observe the starry sky and record the important trends of those disasters or changes from an objective and fair perspective. It may take more than a decade to prove us right. "

Moriarty understood, and then became more curious. He vaguely remembered that Firenze was close to Harry Potter, and the centaurs also predicted that Voldemort would start the second wizarding war.

But what does this have to do with Moriarty?

Firenze seemed to see Moriarty's doubts, and he raised his head slightly: "Did you find out, there is no moon today."

"So what?" The wand in Jericho's hand hadn't been put down, but it was held even tighter by him: "There is no moon? What does that mean! In my opinion, the so-called future and destiny are all pretentious tricks !"

Firenze ignored Jericho, who only had Moriarty in his eyes from the beginning.

"One day in December 1987, the moon suddenly disappeared, even at night. We recorded that since that day, there have been occasional moonless nights." Firenze said peacefully.

Percy took a breath, as if remembering something, and exclaimed, "December 1987? Charlie told me during the summer vacation that ghosts were partying, Peeves was laughing, murals were dancing...they What do you call that day? The Hogwarts riots?"

Firenze took a straight look at Percy: "This is an obvious sign. Maybe the Hogwarts riot you mentioned was the same day as the moonless night."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the so-called Hogwarts riots affected the astrology?" Moriarty was no stranger to the "riot" because he read the "Daily Prophet" throughout 1987. .

It is recorded that the so-called riots were a group of ghosts, murals, armor, and stone piers who came out to have fun, and no wizard participated.

Moriarty thought it was another stunt.

Firenze didn't give an affirmative answer to this, but just evaded it vaguely, and Moriarty seriously suspected that he didn't know either.

Moriarty had no choice but to change the question: "Mr. Firenze, do you think that the Hogwarts riots and the moonless night are related to me, don't you?"

Facing Moriarty's bright gaze, Firenze nodded slowly: "Yes, Slytherin. You may not know that as early as a few years ago, we observed the astrology and predicted that the British wizarding world would have more than ten years in the future. There will be a wizard war within the year, and the direction of the war is related to two people."

Moriarty knew he was talking about Harry Potter and Voldemort.

"But—" Firenze went on to say: "Since the first moonless night, the astrology has changed, and the trajectory, speed, and connection between planets and stars... have all changed. So we are re- Divination..."

"So you need a lot of sage and mallow." Moriarty understood.

"That's right." Firenze circled around Moriarty: "It's September, and here you are. Slytherin, Slytherin!

You are destined to be unusual with this surname. Our ancestors never had the experience of divining information about the Big Four or their descendants through astrology, and you are the same, but I don’t think this is a coincidence. "

Suddenly the wind picked up, and everyone felt chilly. Moriarty's voice was particularly strong in the wind: "I don't think it's a coincidence either!"

Firenze stretched out a hand: "I'm glad you agree with me. Within us, there is some inconsistency regarding the new divination. They forbid me to reveal it to you in advance."

"So, what is the new divination?" Moriarty stretched out his hand and shook him lightly.

Hesitation and panic flashed across Firenze's face, and after a long time, he said: "It was a state of chaos, not only war, but also change, fear, and another kind—I don't know what it is. , but it seems to be an opportunity? Or, a choice?"

Did not advance to the second round of recommendation, thank you for your support, I will write more carefully next time
