Of course Ani knows what happened on the Quidditch pitch, but he has no plans to reveal it for the time being. Except for Hermione, the other people are not characters who can keep secrets.
Harry had a headache when he saw the impulsive Ron, but surprisingly he did not receive a reprimand from Professor Scamander. Instead, Hagrid spoke first.
"Professor Snape would never harm Harry. You are slandering a professor."
"But Hermione and I both saw that Snape was chanting a curse on Harry when Harry lost control of his broom."
"Sev will not harm you, Harry." After Ani spoke, Hermione, who originally wanted to prove to Ron, closed her mouth.
Thanks to the friendly and reliable image he had established among the young wizards in the past two months, Ani's words made Harry a little shaken.
"There are too many appearances in the world that blind our eyes. But no one can deceive the greatest white wizard in the world for ten years." Ani looked at Harry with a gentler look.
Well, maybe tell Harry a little more. Hehe, it seems that it would be interesting for Harry to attack Sif.
Thank me, my friend. People can't always live in the past. There are always some regrets that cannot be made up for, but this is not a reason to close your heart.
In the original book, Snape may not be lovable, and even developed a weird temperament due to long-term suffering in his heart.
It is undeniable that his loyalty to his feelings is enough to offset all his shortcomings. I believe that no one can help but be touched when seeing Snape holding his bleeding neck and staring into those green eyes that seemed to overlap with memories.
"But, Professor." Harry couldn't understand why both Hagrid and Professor Scamander thought Snape would not harm him.
"Professor Snape usually treats me, um, treats me..."
"Not friendly, right?" Looking at Harry with a troubled face, Ani smiled and turned on the cheating mode, "Harry, if you have the Golden Snitch floating next to you for half an hour during the next Quidditch match, You couldn't catch it, what do you think will happen to Oliver?"
"He will definitely scold me and then practice until death every day." Thinking of that scene, Harry couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Then will you hate him and hate him?"
"Of course not. I failed everyone's expectations." Harry had no idea how much impact the following conversation would have on him.
"Okay, I hope you don't spread the word about the rest of the conversation. Hermione and Ron, I can trust you, right?" After getting the answers from the two people, Aini continued: "Then I can allow you to listen, but Don't interrupt."
"Harry, just like Oliver, Sif has high hopes for you. Unfortunately, you performed well on the field, but you disappointed him in Potions class."
Ron opened his mouth to say something, but thinking of Aini's instructions, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, which looked a bit cute.
"But why would he have high hopes for me? I don't feel like I have any talent in potions." Harry was a little confused. Could it be that Snape was his father's friend? But when he looked at himself, the disgust in his eyes could be seen even by a blind man.
"Ani." Hagrid stopped Aini who was about to answer. "I think it's not the right time to let him know this. He's still too young."
"It's okay, Hagrid. I have discretion." In response to Hagrid, Ani stared into Harry's eyes and said to him word for word: "Your mother is extremely talented in potions, and West Fu and her have been close friends since they were young, the kind of people who can depend on each other for life and death."
After finishing his words, Hagrid raised his cup of black tea and drank it in one gulp. Among the three little ones, not only Harry, but also Hermione and Ron also had their mouths wide open, like goldfish out of water.
"How is this possible?" Harry muttered in disbelief, but he also knew that Aini had no need to lie to him. Then someone looked at Aini eagerly, "Professor, do you know my parents? Can you tell me about them?"
"Sorry, I don't know them." A look of disappointment appeared on Harry's face, and Ani continued.
"But I do know a lot about them. However, I don't want to tell you now. Not until you get an O in your final Potions exam."
Harry's face darkened when he had just begun to have hope. He felt that this condition was even more impossible than his own last name of Snape.
"Harry, your mother is an extremely good person, and she has a talent in potions that astonishes even the professors. I don't think you will embarrass her. Are you going to tell me that you can't do it before you try it?" ?"
"Of course not!" Harry stood up excitedly, "I will definitely do it. When I succeed, you must keep your promise and tell my parents about it."
Aini chuckled, for Harry, the provoking method was almost universal.
He seemed to see Sifu crying and thanking him when he learned the truth in the future. Well, it felt like I was worried about my friend, and even I was touched.
I said silently in my heart, "Sev, you're welcome, this is what I should do."
"Sneeze!" Snape rubbed his itchy nose. He suddenly felt a chill just now. This is really strange. Is there another unruly person who wants to harm me?
Put the freshly made refreshing potion into bottles.
It's for treating colds anyway, and it shouldn't matter if you add some droplets.
Stars dotted the sky, far away from the lights of technology, and connected together to form mysterious patterns on this cloudless night.
Aini's eyesight was very good, and the starlight in the sky was enough for him to see, not to mention the half-waning moon.
Shay's mark was intact, and Aini simply wandered aimlessly in the Forbidden Forest.
The watery moonlight surged around him, seeming to quiet the night insects around him, making the forest even quieter for a while.
No, there is someone!
He popped out the wand on his wrist and pretended to sense the surrounding atmosphere as if nothing had happened. There seemed to be nothing unusual around him, and even the low buzz of insects had resumed.
A small blue-green head came out, with fine scales arranged under a tuft of hair on its head. It looked left and right and then quickly ejected forward.
The body, which was less than the size of a palm, gradually lengthened until it reached five meters in length. It was coiled around a chestnut tree more than thirty meters in front, calling softly to Aini.
Ani walked over and rubbed the bird snake's head.
Well, it always feels so good.
When Bird and Snake followed the line of sight, he saw several shallow marks arranged in an orderly manner on the ground.
"Good job, Lulu." Taking out two pieces of foie gras and placing them in the palm of her hand, Lulu, the bird snake, quickly shortened her body and returned to the size of a palm. She flew into Aini's hand and started eating happily.
This is her favorite food, but of course it will only be enjoyable if she eats it in a smaller size.
Holding Lulu with his left hand, Aini squatted on the ground and fiddled with the U-shaped marks on the ground.
The upper edge is wider, it is not a unicorn but a centaur. The bent grass in the hoof prints is slightly raised. It seems that the other party happened to pass by before I arrived.
There was a piece of withered grass stuck on the cracked bark of the tree. Aini knew that this was a code used by the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest to mark patrol routes, indicating safety.
This place is at least 7 kilometers away from the original activity area of the centaurs. The centaurs have increased their patrol range. Are there any abnormalities?
Normally, the movement of the centaurs in the forest is not very loud. It seems that because of the enlarged range, the centaurs had to increase their traveling speed, which disturbed the nearby night insects.
There was no point wandering around on his own, so Aini decided to go to the centaurs tribe to see what they should know.
Patting the glutton's little head, "Lulu, take me to the centaurs tribe and give you two bigger pieces when I come back."
Hearing this, the bird snake's head suddenly grew in size, and it took the remaining foie gras into its mouth. Then it turned into about five meters tall, humped Aini and flew deep into the Forbidden Forest.
As a creature with magical abilities, although the centaur cannot release spells, it also has its own ability system.
Aini hadn't advanced in magic perception last time when she came here, she just had some vague senses.
When I revisited my old place this time, I found that the forest where the centaur tribe was located was filled with invisible runes of various natural sacrifices. There was even a green rune the size of a human head floating on the altar, echoing the starry sky.
The runes seemed to be breathing together with the starlight, and the soft green light opened and shrank regularly, conveying information to Aini.
"Nature, life, healing, strengthening..." Aini jumped off the bird snake, lightly touched the runes on the outside of the tribe, and sent a burst of magic power into it. The runes lit up slightly, and then the energy full of life was fed back. It cleared away the fatigue of his day.
"Guardians of the dense forest, may you always inherit the will of nature."
"Thank you." A sturdy male centaur walked out of the dense forest on the right and stopped beside Aini.
"Firenze, where's Siluni?" Aini has been to the centaur tribe several times and gets along quite well with Firenze. After all, among the male centaurs, he has the friendliest attitude towards wizards.
"Seluni consumed a lot of energy the day before yesterday and is still in a weak stage."
"Is it natural to take the initiative to communicate? It seems that you have encountered something troublesome."
Firenze looked up at the sky, "The trajectory of the planets has changed a lot recently, and Mars has become brighter."
"Is it the shadow of war and the approach of death? No wonder, it seems that the information Siluni got is not good, so you expanded the scope of the patrol?" Although it was a question, Aini used an affirmative tone.
Familiarity with the plot and basic astrology makes me so confident.
"Aini, the danger is approaching, and the centaurs just want to protect themselves." I thought Aini came here to expand their patrol range. After all, the Forbidden Forest belongs to Hogwarts, and the territories of all parties are controlled by The school has divided it well.
"I'm not here to accuse, Firenze. It's not my turn to deal with this matter." Ani patted Firenze's arm, "Don't worry, Hogwarts is the safest place in England, the Forbidden Forest. It's also part of Hogwarts. If anything goes wrong, call me and I'll be living with Hagrid in the near future."
After thanking him again, Firenze was hesitant to say anything, but unfortunately Aini had already left by the time he was mentally building up his mind.
When Aini looked back at Firenze, the centaur had turned and looked deeper into the Forbidden Forest. The deepest darkness seemed to be hidden in the endless dense forest.
