Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 24 Stars and Destiny

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

In the silent Forbidden Forest, Augustus stood quietly, looking at the direction in which the man was leaving, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes. A breeze blew, and something seemed to be approaching in the darkness.There was the sound of horseshoes trotting behind them. After a while, a centaur stood beside the three of them. This centaur looked a little young, with platinum-blond hair and the body of a horse with a silver mane.

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

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

"It's really timely." Malfoy pouted, with a disdainful expression on his face.

The centaur didn't seem to mind the sarcasm in Malfoy's words, his eyes were surprisingly blue, like pale sapphires.He looked Harry over carefully, his eyes lingering 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, may I know what happened here just now? The huge fluctuation of magic power here has alarmed many residents in the forest. In this troubled autumn, such a large-scale movement will really make us restless." The horse man looked on With a little worry.

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

"Augustus? Augustus Julius?" An inexplicable shock flashed in the centaur's eyes, as if this name was a hundred times more important to him than any battle or powerful wizard.He looked at Malfoy and Augustus somewhat eagerly, as if trying to discern which of them was the one.

"What? What's wrong with my name?" Augustus looked at the overly eager centaur and asked indifferently.

The centaur did not reply, but stared at Augustus quietly with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Suddenly, more hoofbeats came from the other side of the clearing.Ronan and Baine rushed out from the bushes, their belly heaving violently, dripping with sweat. "Firenze!" Baine roared. "What are you doing? Hanging out with a group of humans? Have you forgotten our oath?"

Firenze ignored Bain, still staring at Augustus.

"What did you tell them?" Baine said angrily. "Remember, Firenze, we swore that we would never disobey God's will. Don't we see the omens shown by the movement of the planets?" Is it?" Ronan scratched the dirt with his hooves anxiously. "I believe Firenze thinks he did it with good intentions," Ronan said in his sad voice. "Out of good intentions! What does that have to do with us? Centaurs care about astrological prophecies! We don't need to be like donkeys, running after the lost humans in our forest!"

Firenze didn't get angry at Bain's sarcasm, instead he had an inexplicable joy on his face. He motioned for the two centaur to stop, and then pointed at Augustus with an almost raving tone, "You know this Who is it? He is the Julius boy, Augustus."

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

"So, everything that happened today is not a coincidence. The scene guided by the astrology perfectly reproduced? The inevitable encounter of the trajectories of the stars, the fateful encounter revealed in the astronomy, is this the case?" Linked to the previous magical fluctuations, Luo Nan continued 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. "Fierenze, take Augustus and the others out of the Forbidden Forest. Today may be a day worth celebrating for us Centaurs."

Compared to Harry and Malfoy who were in the fog, Augustus roughly understood the dialogue of these centaurs.Although he was somewhat interested in studying astrology, Augustus still felt a little uncomfortable when his own destiny was set on a unique trajectory. Fate?Augustus never believed in such illusory things.For a truly strong man, fate is always something in his own hands.

Firenze started to lead the three of them towards the exit of the Forbidden Forest, "What's the matter with the fateful reunion you mentioned? Could it be related to the person who appeared before? Why did he kill the unicorn?" Harry turned his head to look Looking at Firenze with doubts.

"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."

"Obviously, unicorn blood can be used to extend life," Malfoy interjected, seemingly pleased to see Harry's ignorance.

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

"But who is that desperado?" Harry asked 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 for a comeback? Who is clinging to life and waiting for the right time?', for a moment, it was as if an iron claw suddenly grabbed Harry's heart.He seemed to hear Hagrid say again the night they first met: "Some say he's dead. I think it's pure nonsense. I'm afraid there's not much humanity left in him, so it's impossible to die."

"Do you mean," said Harry in a low, hoarse voice, "that it's Voldemort?"

The winter night in the Forbidden Forest was a bit cold, Malfoy shivered inexplicably, Augustus walked silently on the path in the forest, from time to time the fallen leaves that stepped on the ground made a few rustling sounds, and the wind blew Augustus' golden long hair. Hair, the faint silvery white moonlight fell on the shoulders, dragging out the slender shadow of Augustus.
