She was pale and frowned.

As far as the eye can see, in the forbidden forest covered with white gauze, he woke up from a deep sleep. Driven by the centaurs, countless beasts rushed towards Hogwarts like a tide. Palpitations.

She hurriedly returned to the castle and informed her about it.

The professors didn't care about Christmas anymore, their faces were extremely ugly.

"Notice, everyone is on guard!" Dumbledore's face was ashen and awe-inspiring.

Hogwarts used magic to raise the alarm, and under the instructions of the professor and the ghost, all the students returned to the castle and concentrated in the auditorium.

They still don't know what happened, and they talked a lot.

In the auditorium, only Zhou Qi, Hagrid and a few professors with weak spellcasting abilities were left. The other professors were led by Dumbledore and went to various places in the castle to set up magical barriers.

"what's going on?"

Harry and Ron were also mixed in the auditorium. They found Hermione and came to Zhou Qi together to find out what happened.

Zhou Qi looked worried, just let them wait here, the professors will take care of it all.

"Look!"

Some students pointed to the window and exclaimed.

A transparent barrier appeared in the sky, spreading and connecting like a giant bowl upside down, covering the castle.

Outside the barrier, there were cloudy clouds, and a stern atmosphere began to spread. The students' faces were no longer happy, and their hearts were covered with a haze.

"They are here!"

At the edge of the barrier, Dumbledore and the professors looked nervous.

A streak of mixed colors appeared in the distance, and it became clearer and clearer. The earth swayed faintly in the intensive trampling. The color turned out to be endless magical animals, covering it like a tsunami.

Trolls, spiders, mountain beasts, winged birds.

The sky is covered by the wings of birds and beasts, like an overwhelming cloud, the earth is a dark gray tide, mixed with the figures of centaurs.

"Merlin's beard..." A professor exclaimed in horror.

The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Gilderoy Lockhart, who was hiding behind the professor, even looked like a ghost. He moved back carefully, trying to escape.

Tides and clouds stop at the transparent barrier.

The angry centaurs pulled their bowstrings and aimed at the shocked professors in the barrier.

"Hogwarts and Fantastic Beasts have a non-aggression pact!" At a critical juncture, the white wizard Dumbledore stepped forward and shouted calmly, "Do you want to break our pact and disturb the peace?"

Even he was shocked when he saw the boundless magical animal.

"It was you who broke the pact first, wizard!"

The tide spread to both sides, and the centaur Baine came out with a gloomy face and looked at the white wizard through a line of barriers.

"Greedy humans, you kidnapped the beast of purity and trampled on the pride of centaurs!" He couldn't suppress the anger in his voice, his eyes were burning: "We will not forgive your actions!"

The white wizard frowned.

"Hogwarts has designated the forest as a restricted area, and no one will enter it, let alone kidnap unicorns!" He said sincerely: "I think, did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstand?"

The centaur Bane slammed on the barrier angrily: "I will never forget what happened that night! You Hogwarts, Gryffindor students appeared in our territory, threatening us with the lives of the tribesmen. , forcing us to hand over the unicorn!"

"This is definitely not a misunderstanding!"

With a wave of his arms, the magical animal behind him made a long cry that tore through the sky, and the birds and beasts in the sky spread out their wings, covering the sky.

Gryffindor...

All eyes were on Professor Minerva McGonagall.

The green-robed lady, clenching her wand, strode forward, looking at the centaur Baine without fear.

"There will be no such students in Gryffindor!" As the dean of Gryffindor, she has her own pride and belief, and does not allow anyone to slander the academy she loves.

Centaur Bane was furious.

The magical animal behind him also screamed angrily, trying to dash against the magic barrier.

How could Dumbledore let this happen? Once someone on both sides takes the shot first, there is no room for turning around. He quickly pulled Professor McGonagall behind him and said sternly: "We will investigate this matter, please give it to us. We have a chance!"

The centaur Bane stared at him indifferently.

With the spear in his hand on the ground, he said coldly, "Okay, I'll give you half a day."

"Before the moon appears, find that Gryffindor student and give it to us! We'll go back to the forest immediately!"

"Is there a little less time..." The white wizard still wanted to bargain, but saw the centaur Bain walking back into the trend without turning his head, and the magical animals around him stared at him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sigh.

He left Professor Flitwick here to maintain the barrier.

He took all the professors and quickly returned to the castle.

"Are we really going to hand the students over to them?" Professor McGonagall lost her former dignified calm: she could imagine what would happen if the students were handed over to these angry centaurs.

Such a thing happens to Gryffindor.

Both the principal and she will continue to serve without face.

Dumbledore just kept silent, and quickly returned to the auditorium. At this time, the students had seen countless magical animals through the windows, and it was a time of anxiety and fear.

The white wizard went straight to the high platform, and his voice suddenly amplified.

"Quiet!!"

The apprehensive students stopped their discussions and looked at the respected principal.

The greatest white wizard is like a stimulant, allowing the students to find the backbone.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, please investigate the students." He said in a low voice, "If the students really did this, I would personally apologize to the centaurs."

"If the students didn't do this, no matter how intimidating they were, I would protect Hogwarts!"

Knowing the principal's attitude, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief.

She and the indifferent Professor Snape divided the students into two groups, one sings the white face and the other sings the red face, and questioned the students one by one.

Dumbledore sat back in his chair, silent.

Two hours later.

The professors will report the results.

No one said they had been to the Forbidden Forest, let alone threatened centaurs and kidnapped unicorns.

Even the most rebellious Slytherin can't do this. Centaurs are inherently 5X dangerous species, and even adult wizards can't necessarily deal with them, let alone underage students.

The white wizard didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

It was only four hours before midnight, and they could not give satisfactory answers, and the balance between wizards and centaurs would be completely broken.

Hogwarts would be the beginning of the war.

Why does this happen?

"Professor Dumbledore..."

The Harry trio pushed Hagrid, who looked guilty, over. They had heard the reason for the incident, and they thought of the disappearance of Aragog, the eight-eyed spider, and Hagrid took the initiative to explain to Dumbledore under the persuasion of the three. situation.

The disappearance of the eight-eyed spider, the mysterious Gryffindor student, the unicorn was kidnapped.

The white wizard noticed that there was a hidden connection behind this incident, and he followed this connection in pursuit, combining all the clues with lightning and flint in his mind.

"Harry! Before you and Ron started school, you met the dark wizard Dubois, right?"

Dumbledore asked earnestly.

After getting an accurate answer.

He scratched his beard, got up from his seat, and called the professors to his side.

"Hogwarts has been invaded," he said.

Everyone's expressions were astonished.

"I should have thought of all this... The dark wizard Dubois, the non-existent student at Hogwarts, the petrified Dobby, and what happened at this time, they are all connected!"

Dumbledore tried to keep his tone calm.

He looked at Harry Potter guiltily and said in a low voice, "I should trust you."

"The dark wizard Dubois has invaded Hogwarts since September. He used compound potions to transform into students and hid in the castle to secretly operate. This is the truth that there are no students at Hogwarts."

"He is the Gryffindor student who kidnapped the unicorn!"

Dumbledore's eyes were deep, and he looked across the auditorium to the closed door, and said calmly, "He should still be hiding somewhere in this castle!"

The professors were shocked by this speculation.

Hogwarts Castle was surrounded, and the magical barrier not only prevented the outsider from coming in, but also prevented the possibility of the people inside escaping.

If it is really the dark wizard Dubois.

He used the compound potion to transform, and there must be one more student among the students, but the professors have checked it, and all the students are here.

Then he must be hiding somewhere in the castle, waiting for a chance to escape!

Dumbledore decisively ordered.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, you and I will investigate the school together! Professor Lockhart, Professor Sprout, please protect the students here, and don't let any of them leave."

"Professor Dumbledore, we are here to help you too!"

Harry took the bitter-faced Ron and volunteered.

He took out the Marauder's map and said seriously, "We need its help."

Seeing the name displayed on the Marauder's map, Professor Snape was stunned, and then hummed disdainfully, but did not do anything in such a critical situation.

Everyone quickly checked every secret room and secret passage in the castle.

Time passed little by little.

The magical animals outside the magic barrier became more and more anxious. The centaur Bane looked up at the sky, and the dark blue curtain slowly descended, obscuring the last rays of the sky.

He clenched the spear tightly, his eyes getting colder.

"Can't find it! Can't find it! Can't find it!"

Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and the tall petrified man walked in the empty castle. She became more and more anxious because of the passage of time.

However, the castle was turned over.

But couldn't find anything!

"What should I do?" Ron was about to cry. Holding his pounding heart, he felt like he was walking a tightrope on a cliff. If he couldn't find it again, the war between Hogwarts and the centaurs would ignite.

Not only them, but even the students in the auditorium were each frantic.

Malfoy forcibly cheered up and comforted the attendant with a crying voice: "I'm not afraid.... I'm the Malfoy family, they dare not do anything to me, follow me when the time comes, and we'll escape!"

Hermione Granger, who followed Professor Snape to investigate the castle, was also sweating nervously.

"Calm down, the more it gets to this time, the more you need to calm down!" She closed her eyes and breathed a little faster, recalling all the details of the past few months.

The headless search is in vain after all.

The clues are hidden in the details.

Hermione quickly reviewed all the details of the past five months.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and a memory image from a few months ago appeared in her head. It was the trio of them chatting with Ginny in the courtyard, when Colin, a first-year Gryffindor, came over.

Ginny left in panic and fear.

The relationship between the two was very strange. Ginny Weasley seemed to be quite afraid of the harmless Colin Creevey, but they didn't care about this detail at the time.

Thinking back now.

Full of inconsistency.

Why would Weasley, a pure-blood family, fear a Muggle-born half-blood wizard?

Hermione decided to take a gamble!
