Stars and Destiny

After the war, both Harry and Malfoy were speechless for a long time. This battle had a great impact on them. The two had a sense of control over magic at will, the deadly threat brought by simple attacks, and the eclectic and precise effect of defense. They all let them see another world, which is a kind of calmness without a trace of firework when they understand and control magic to a certain extent.

In the silent Forbidden Forest, Augustus stood quietly, looking in the direction where the man was leaving, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, a breeze blew, and something seemed to be approaching in the darkness. There was the sound of horses' hoofs trotting behind them. In a moment, a Centaurus stood beside the three of them. The centaur looked a little young. His hair was white gold and he had the body of a horse with a silver mane.

"Are you all right? There was a strong fluctuation of magic power here just now. I sensed the abnormal situation in this direction, and I rushed here. I hope I came in time." The centaurs glanced at the three of them with concern. asked in a tone.

"It's okay, thank you." Harry nodded politely to the centaurs.

"It's timely." Malfoy pouted, with a look of disdain on his face.

The centaurs didn't seem to care about the sarcasm in Malfoy's words, and his eyes were astonishingly blue, like pale sapphires. He looked at Harry carefully, his eyes fixed on the sharp, prominent scar on Harry's forehead. "You're the Potter boy," he said. "You'd better go back to Hagrid. It's not safe in the woods at this time."

"By the way, can I know what happened here just now? The huge fluctuation of magic power that happened here has alarmed many residents in the forest. In this eventful autumn, such a large-scale movement will make us restless." The centaur looked with a little worry.

"There was a battle before here. We met the murderer who killed the unicorn, a very powerful wizard. After fighting with Mr. Augustus, he left here with the unicorn body." Harry briefly explained what had happened to the centaurs.

"Augustus? Augustus Julius?" There was an inexplicable shock in the centaur's eyes as if the name was a hundred times more important to him than any battle or a powerful wizard. He looked at Malfoy and Augustus with some urgency, as if trying to tell which of them was the one.

"What? What's wrong with my name?" Augustus asked indifferently, looking at the overly eager centaurs.

The centaurs didn't reply, with a meaningful expression in their eyes, they stared at Augustus quietly.

Suddenly, more hooves came from the other side of the clearing. Ronan and Bane rushed out of the bushes, their abdomens heaving violently, dripping with sweat. "Firenze!" Baine roared. "What are you doing? Hanging out with a bunch of humans? Did you forget our oath?"

Firenze ignored Bane, still staring at Augustus.

"What did you tell them?" said Baine angrily. "Remember, Firenze, we swore we would never defy Providence. Haven't we seen the omens of the planetary motions? Is it?" Ronan scratched the ground with his hoof nervously. "I'm sure Firenze thought he did it with good intentions," Ronan said in his sad voice. "Good intentions! What does that have to do with us? Centaurs care about astrological prophecies! We don't have to be like donkeys, running after humans who get lost in our forests!"

Firenze didn't get angry at Bane's sarcasm at all. Instead, he had an inexplicably happy look on his face. He motioned the two centaurs to stop, and then pointed to Augustus with an almost babbling voice, "You know this Who is the man? He is the child of Julius, Augustus."

Bane and Ronan suddenly fell silent, and the two centaurs had the same shock in their eyes as if Augustus appearing in front of them was an incredible thing for them.

"So, everything that happened today is not a coincidence. The scene guided by the stars has been perfectly reproduced. The inevitable encounter of the stars' trajectories, the fate of the sky, is that so?" Linking to the magic fluctuations that happened before, Luo Nan continued to speak in his sad tone.

Firenze nodded, "The stars never lie, everything is destined." Bane surprisingly did not continue to object, he just looked at Augustus with a faint expectation, and then turned around with Ronan leave. "Firenze, take Augustus and the others out of the Forbidden Forest. Today may be a day worth celebrating for us centaurs."

Compared with Harry and Malfoy's confusion, Augustus roughly understood the conversation of these centaurs. Although he is somewhat interested in studying astrology, when his destiny is set into a unique trajectory, Augustus still can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, destiny? For this ethereal thing, Augustus never believed. For a really strong man, fate is always in his own hands.

Firenze began to lead the three of them to the exit of the Forbidden Forest, "What is the fated meeting you mentioned, is it related to the person who appeared before, why did he kill the unicorn." Harry turned to look Looking at Firenze with questions.

"Harry Potter, do you know what unicorn blood can be used for?"

"I don't know," said Harry, startled at the odd question, "we only used its horns and tail hairs in Potions class."

"Unicorn blood can be used to prolong life," Malfoy interjected suddenly as if pleased to see Harry's ignorance.

"Yes," Firenze agreed, then changed his voice, "but you have to pay a heavy price for it. You have slaughtered a pure, weak, and helpless life to save your own life, so from its blood touch From the moment you reach your lips, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."

"But who is that outlaw?" Harry said aloud his doubts. "If you're going to be cursed for the rest of your life, it's better to die, isn't it?"

Can't you imagine who has waited silently for so many years, longing to make a comeback? Who clings to life, waiting for the moment?', for a moment, it was as if an iron claw suddenly grabbed Harry's heart. He seemed to hear again what Hagrid said on the night they first met: "Some say he's dead. I think it's pure nonsense. I'm afraid there's not much humanity in him, so he can't die."

"You mean," said Harry in a low, hoarse voice, "it's Voldemort"

The Forbidden Forest was a bit cold on a winter night, Malfoy shuddered inexplicably, Augustus walked silently on the forest path, and from time to time he stepped on the fallen leaves and made a few rustling noises, and the wind blew the golden long of Augustus. The faint silver-white moonlight fell on his shoulders, dragging out the slender shadow of Augustus.
