My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 57. Revenge Ten Years Late (Part 057)

Ya Ya led Lynn as they ran around the Forbidden Forest.

It followed Hagrid's scent deeper and deeper into the Forbidden Forest until two centaurs stopped them.

"Halt! Human cubs and that dog, this is our tribe. You are not allowed in without permission!"

Lynn pulled back Yaya, who wanted to move forward, and used Hagrid to build rapport with them.

"I'm here to see Hagrid. Have you seen him?"

The two centaurs looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No, Hagrid has never been here."

Lynn pointed at Tooth and said, "You should know Hagrid's dog, right? It tracked Hagrid's scent and found its way here."

"We've been searching for our missing tribesmen in the Forbidden Forest recently, and we've forbidden any outsiders from entering the tribe, including Hagrid, so it's impossible for Hagrid to have been here."

Lynn's eyes lit up when he heard the centaur's words. He narrowed his eyes, and a wicked idea began to pop into his head.

"So Hagrid was talking about you guys!" he said with a sudden realization.

The centaur guard was confused: "What do you mean, 'us'?"

Lynn began his performance: "Hagrid went into the Forbidden Forest saying he was helping some centaurs find his companions. Now that he's made a discovery, he rushed Axe to come back to me and asked me to find the centaurs and tell them the news. So you are the centaurs he was talking about."

One of the centaur guards looked at him suspiciously.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"How would I know you're centaurs?" Lynn feigned ignorance, saying, "I've never seen you before. I thought centaurs were people with horse heads and human bodies."

Lynn's words were somewhat infuriating, but he was just a "youngster," and the centaur guards didn't need to get angry with him.

"Is everything you're saying true?"

"Do I have any reason to lie?" Lynn blinked, looking exceptionally sincere.

The expressions of the two centaur guards began to turn serious, and one of them immediately left to inform their leader.

Soon, the ground shook, and about a few dozen centaurs came running over.

The centaur who led them was named Ferenze, and he appeared much more refined and intelligent than the other centaurs.

"Did you bring this message?"

Ferenze walked up to Lynn. They were both very tall, and their presence in front of Lynn gave him a sense of pressure.

Lynn remained unfazed: "That's right, it's me."

The intelligent centaur immediately pointed out the flaws in Lynn's lie.

"If Hagrid wanted to tell us this, why didn't he send the dog to us instead of going through you?"

Lynn shrugged.

"Are you close to Ya Ya?"

"I've never had any contact with it."

"That settles it then. Hagrid sent Tooth to find you. Can he even find you? Or even if he does, will you understand what he's trying to say? And even if you do understand, will you trust a strange dog?"

As Lynn spoke, he patted Ya Ya's head, and Ya Ya wagged its tail in response.

"I'm different. I know Ya Ya very well and I understand what he means. As for gaining your trust... what benefit would I get from lying to you?"

Ferenze remained silent for a long time, then finally took a deep look and gave a command to the centaurs behind him.

"Let's go, let's follow him."

Seeing that he had agreed, Lynn tentatively said...

"I'm too slow, can you carry me?"

The horsemen immediately glared at him angrily!

"dream!"

"What do you take us for? Mules?"

Ferenc stopped his companions from talking and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, come on up."

The centaurs stared at Ferenze in disbelief, but Lynn didn't care. He had achieved his goal. He nimbly climbed onto Ferenze's horse, holding Tooth by the hand, and continued galloping deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

The commotion caused by dozens of centaurs running was considerable, startling many magical creatures that scattered in all directions.

By tricking the centaurs into joining him, Lynn not only wanted to find Professor Fox quickly, but also wanted to ensure his own safety.

Professor Fox and Hagrid were definitely in danger, but Lynn didn't know exactly what kind of danger they were in.

In the Forbidden Forest, those who know this place best are undoubtedly the centaur natives; even Hagrid might not be able to compare with them.

Even if Lynn is highly talented now, his strength is no match for an adult wizard. In the end, even if he finds Professor Fox, he won't be able to save others, and he might even get himself killed.

But it's different when you're with centaurs.

With these dozens of centaurs, Lynn could practically roam freely in the Forbidden Forest.

If Professor Fox is eventually found and Hagrid is reunited with his missing compatriots, then all will be well.

Even if they don't find their compatriots, or even in the worst-case scenario where Lynn's lies are exposed, what can the centaurs do to him with Hogwarts and Dumbledore backing him up?

You could say that Lynn's encounter with the centaurs was a win-win situation.

Four legs are definitely faster than two. Toothpaste led Lynn and the centaurs to the place where Hagrid had fainted, and then collapsed on the ground, too exhausted to run any further.

Lynn's heart sank when he saw Hagrid lying unconscious on the ground.

Things turned out even worse than he had imagined; Professor Fox and Hagrid actually broke up.

The rain made the soil sticky and mushy, and the centaurs discovered the footprints of the centaur who had attacked Hagrid earlier.

Ferenze's face was grave; seeing Hagrid's current state gave him a bad feeling.

Tooth stayed behind, and Ferenze also wanted Lynn to stay where he was, with a few centaurs watching over them.

But Lynn refused.

"You're just a cub, it could be dangerous ahead, and you've already found Hagrid, so why are you still following us?" Ferenze asked.

Lynn was not lying; he solemnly and honestly announced it.

"It's not just Hagrid; a professor also came to the Forbidden Forest with him. Now that Hagrid is in danger, your compatriots and my professor may also be in danger, so I'm going to go with you."

Ferenze and Lynn looked at each other, and finally he spoke softly.

"You're a little different from the other wizard cubs. Since you insist, come with us. We'll ensure your safety."

A few centaurs stayed behind to guard the unconscious Hagrid, while the rest continued deeper into the territory.

"This is the territory of Aragog, the spider Hagrid keeps." The centaur recognized the place.

At the same time, they came to the spider web blocking the road.

Arima tried to destroy the spider web with his spear, but with little success.

Ferenze frowned and said, "We need to take a detour."

"No need for that." Lynn jumped off his horse. "I'll lead the way."

"You, a mere cub?" the Arima-man said disdainfully.

Lynn didn't explain, but instead waved his wand at the spider web in front of him.

"Thunderous explosion."
