HP solves the mystery

Sif looked at the centaur priestess curiously. Speaking of which, centaurs have two bellies, right...

But he knew that it was not good to stare at people all the time, so he lowered his head and drank the water in the glass.

The priestess smiled faintly, looked at Tom sitting beside him, and shook her head slightly, "Mr. Slytherin, you should know that we centaurs are very knowledgeable about astrology."

Tom nodded slightly. Centaurs are the experts in astrology in the entire magical world. If they didn't live in the Forbidden Forest and didn't welcome strangers, I'm afraid the people who came to them for divination would trample the grass in the Forbidden Forest.

"Originally, the star you corresponded to was extremely dark, but it became extremely dazzling after orbiting another star." The priestess said, taking out two pieces of parchment and giving them to Tom and asked them to read.

It records the horoscopes for the entire twenty years from 1970 to 1990, some of which are outlined in red pen.

"If you follow the original trajectory, you will hit another star in a few years and then land on the earth as a meteorite. But now, Halley's Comet more than ten years ago disrupted the astrolabe, and your destiny has changed. ." The priestess told the truth, but she was thankful and started to mutter again.

"Also, that meteor shower disrupted all the astrolabe. When the astrolabe was disrupted, all the future became blurred and the established trajectory deviated."

She had seen the chaotic stars of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and then the First Wizarding War occurred; logically, the red-eyed man in front of her should make the same mistake again, but who knows, something might change.

But it’s normal, no one can guess the accident and who will come first tomorrow.

"What are the consequences of a disrupted astrolabe, and more than ten years ago? Is it the prophecy of the savior?" Tom asked with a raised eyebrow.

After a long silence, the priestess took the parchment and smiled mysteriously.

"Savior? You mean Trelawney's prophecy?" she asked back.

Sifu knew the point was coming and listened carefully.

"Yes, that child was chosen by fate, but I did not mark him as predicted." Tom glanced at Sif and finished the question quickly.

"It's half true and half false. So what if we know the prophecy? Some people will follow the route planned by fate." She was very patient with Tom. "New rules have been formed, and we astrology experts also need to Time groping. After Trelawney made the prophecy, Principal Dumbledore came to see us..."

Tom was thoughtful after hearing this. Dumbledore knew about this situation, but still allowed it to develop, and he was almost eliminated by the other party as predicted.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, the priestess pursed her lips and smiled, "He is the principal of Hogwarts. As residents of the Forbidden Forest, we have the obligation to help him, but now you are the heir to the castle. Of course you have the right to use it.”

The implication is that the tribe of horse people can be enclosed under his protective umbrella. After the horse people receive the benefits, they will naturally inform them of the observed information.

Tom was stunned. He didn't expect the centaur priestess to relent so quickly. He thought he would have to go through difficult negotiations.

"You will not regret today's decision in the future." Tom followed the words of the priestess.

The priestess raised her water glass and clinked it with Tom from afar.

"Then, happy working together."

"Pleasant to work with."

The two talked about building houses without destroying ancient trees, and made arrangements for the horse people's work.

Sifu could understand it at the beginning, but later became confused.

Tom noticed Sif's bored look and sped up the negotiations.

The priestess noticed something and turned to look at Sif, her loving eyes becoming sharp.

"Sir, can you tell me your full name?" she asked kindly.

Sifu was confused by this sudden change of attitude. He turned the water glass and said his name.

The priestess stared at the parchment recording the stars, then looked at Sif several times, and finally let out a long sigh.

Sifu felt confused after hearing this. Why did she stare at him and stop talking?

Just as Tom was about to ask, the priestess said, "Young man, please take care of yourself."

After saying this, she stopped paying attention to the two of them and just looked down at the parchment, writing and drawing on it with a quill she took out from nowhere.

Sev and Tom looked at each other, stood up and left the tent.

They didn't chat for long, but when they approached the banquet tent, Lucius was already signing a contract with Bain.

However, Crouch, the Minister of Magic, didn't look very good. It was obvious that the migration plan had failed again.

"Mr. Slytherin, I think you should talk to them. Moving out will be beneficial to both parties, and there is Hogwarts next to it..." Old Crouch turned his attention to Tom and asked him about the centaurs moving away. .

Tom chuckled lightly. He didn't have the heart to help if Dumbledore didn't solve the problem.

"Mr. Minister, I think we shouldn't force anyone to do anything difficult. After all, centaurs have been living in the Forbidden Forest since the establishment of Hogwarts Castle..." He answered perfunctorily.

Tom looked around and found that Dumbledore was not there, and frowned slightly.

Little Barty was originally looking at the angry father's joke, but seeing the Lord's demeanor, he quickly reminded him, "Sir, Principal Dumbledore and the red-haired Centaur Firenze have gone to take care of the Bowtruckle."

Although he didn't know the use of guarding the Bowtruckle tree, he just needed to know its whereabouts.

Tom nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes and left.

On the other side, Sif looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. Just now, a centaur pointed out the direction to him, saying that Halbo and Nagini were here. When he found the way over, he saw the Bowtruckle guiding the two of them. massage while Dumbledore stood nearby chatting with Nagini.

Haierbo groaned from being massaged, and after seeing Sifu's arrival, he waved enthusiastically.

"Sev, I've left a place for you here." As he spoke, a group of Bowtruckles carried a blanket to him, and then all turned to look at Sev.

Sif shook his head quickly. Just from the strength of the Bowtruckle massaging Haierbo, he knew that he, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, could not bear it.

He looked curiously at Nagini who was chatting happily with Dumbledore. They actually had something to talk about?

From the corner of his eye, Dumbledore noticed Sif looking over here. After laughing a few times, he stood up and said goodbye to Nagini.

"Mr. Snape, if you have a chance, let's have a cup of coffee together." Dumbledore approached Sif with a smile, and his eyes quickly glanced at him.

"Okay, Principal Dumbledore, let's talk about it when we have the chance." Sif smiled and nodded.

Even if you don't like Dumbledore, at least on the surface the relationship between the two is good.

And with that experience at school, Silver couldn't take Dumbledore lightly.

"Nagini is very cute, Sif, do you know where her parents are?" Dumbledore didn't seem to want to end the topic so quickly and asked about another thing.

Sif blinked, Nagini's parents? This is indeed something worth thinking about.

"I don't know about this. Nagini is a distant relative of Tom. He rarely talks about this with me." Silver said.

"Then do you know the names of her parents? I mean - did her name inherit the name of her ancestors?" Dumbledore's eyes kept flickering behind his lenses. There were some things he wanted to know.

Sif also shook his head. Nagini is a blood-cursed orc. According to what Tom said, she and Dumbledore must have known each other. She turned into a snake and lost her memory for decades. She doesn't care about what happened before. necessary.

The parties involved are all confused, what are they worrying about?

Seeing that Dumbledore couldn't ask anything from Sev, his eyes paused on the ring on his hand for a moment, nodded and left.

When Haierbo saw people leaving, his alert vertical pupils returned to their round appearance. He lazily flipped his hair and asked Bowtruckle to massage his scalp.

Sif sat down on the blanket, picked up the fruits and ate them. He had just drank several glasses of water in the priestess's tent.

"Helbo, what did Dumbledore talk to you just now?" Sif touched Nagini's head and turned to ask.

Haierbo yawned and narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't say anything. He just asked where I graduated, what my hobbies are, and what I like to eat... He asked Nagini the same questions, but he seemed to pay special attention to her parents and grandparents..." Haierbo answered casually.

"He probably hasn't found out your identities, so he's looking for some clues." Sif touched his chin. One of them is the final form of the thousand-year-old basilisk, and the other is the blood-cursed orc who has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Even if Dumbledore died, he wouldn't have thought that something like this would happen. What Nagini told Dumbledore before she completely turned into a snake is unknown.

"Nagini, do you want to grow up quickly?" Haierbo threw a lychee at Nagini and asked before the other party got angry.

Nagini patted her fat belly. Of course she wanted to grow up. It has been more than two years since she returned to human form. I don't know if she didn't eat enough blood orchids at the time. She hasn't grown a centimeter until now.

"Do you have any idea?" Nagini looked at Haierbo suspiciously, as if he would smash the plate of lychees in his hand if he answered 'no'.

Sif also looked over curiously. If Halbo had his way, he wouldn't still be guarding Hogwarts like a snake after thousands of years.

Haierbo slowly shook his head under the gaze of the two people.

Nagini pursed her lips, ate several lychees angrily, and then turned into a pea shooter and spit out the cores at Haierbo.

"I'll ask the priestess for you, oh, Nagini!"

Haierbo covered his forehead and looked at Nagini pretending to be angry. The war was about to break out.

When Tom arrived, he saw Sif hiding in the shade of a tree and eating, while Nagini and Helbo were bickering with each other, and their Bowtruckles were participating in the fruit-throwing procession.

"What's wrong with them?" Tom came to Sif's side, took the lychee in his hand and peeled it.

Sev briefly told him what happened, and then mentioned Dumbledore.

Tom yelled, not taking these little things to heart.

"Lucius and the others have signed a contract. They will go to Hogsmeade Village with Old Minister Crouch for a meal before leaving." Seeing that Sif was not interested, Tom wiped the juice on their hands with a handkerchief and smiled. He suggested, "Let's go shopping in Hogsmeade Village. It's been a long time since we went shopping together."

Sev still held his hand and didn't expose his little thoughts. They just went to New Diagon Alley to watch a movie two days ago.

The war between Helbo and Nagini has ended, and he is cleaning the dirty robes with his wand.

Nagini, who didn't have a wand, ran to Sif and asked him to help clean her clothes.

"You, I asked you to study the spells, but now you are looking for help." Sif petted Nagini's head lovingly. If you ignore her true identity and age, she is really a very cute girl. child.

Nagini held her face and laughed. After cleaning her clothes, she went to cling to Haierbo again.

Lucius and his party left early, and the centaur tribe became lively again without the presence of strangers.

The four Sifus did not disturb them. They quietly left the centaur tribe, and when they reached the edge, they apparated and disappeared.

Not long after they disappeared, in the bushes behind them, a gray centaur swung its tail and walked towards the priestess' tent.

Hogsmeade village has tripled its original size, and the still wide main street of Hogwarts is full of young wizards, tourists and businessmen who come here to visit.

Sifu and the four of them were not eye-catching among them, mainly because the two handsome men had blocked their beauty, otherwise there would be many people surrounding them.

The shabby Pig's Head Bar has also changed drastically. The narrow and dirty room has turned into a bright and spacious room. The portraits on the wall of the living room have been carefully placed in glass display cabinets. Whenever someone passes by, the blonde girl always smiles. to greet them.

The long-haired boss hired a few more waiters and turned into a leisurely old man who drinks wine all day long and sits on the bar watching TV.

The owner of the Pig's Head Bar is an old man who likes to raise goats. Few people know that this eccentric old man is the younger brother of Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts.

In Sif's memory, he had been to the small and dark Pig Head Bar several times, always to pick up some rare medicinal materials and books.

"Tom, do you think we can get dragon eggs here?" Sif took a sip of butterbeer and looked at the noisy bar.

"Is it like the Malfoy dragon?" Tom took a sip of whiskey, and the hot taste made him squint his eyes. "There are still wizards who go to the manor where Lucius raises dragons to see the dragons. They are looking forward to picking up some. Toenails, dragon dung, whatever, to make potions.”

Sif coughed. He had never thought of raising a dragon at home like Lucius. Helbo and Nagini were enough for him.

Speaking of Halbo and Nagini, they went straight to Honeydukes Candy Store after leaving the Forbidden Forest, and now they were carrying snacks to the bar to find Sif and the others.

When passing by the bar, the old man sitting watching TV turned his head to get a drink, but a casual glance made his outstretched hand freeze in mid-air.

The old man stared blankly at the little girl with black hair and eyes, his throat a little choked, "Na, Nagini, who are you?"

When Nagini heard her name, she turned her head curiously and found an old man with gray hair walking towards her tremblingly, but the question in his mouth was a little strange.

"Nagini is not me, I am Nagini." She pointed at herself and winked.
