A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 858 The Uprising of Heroes and the Fire Horsemen

The Forbidden Forest is indeed becoming increasingly dangerous; just look at the teeth.

Although it was just an ordinary dog, it possessed unique talents that many amazing animals envied:

They have an almost intuitive sense of danger.

To put it simply, he's a coward to the core, even more timid than Boba Tea.

When Hagrid goes to the Forbidden Forest, he usually takes Tooth on a leash, and Tooth will run away at the slightest disturbance.

That speed was comparable to the Flash in the magical world.

This is a great alarm system.

Now, no matter how much it tries to entice Ya Ya to lead the way, it refuses and even lies on the edge of the forbidden forest pretending to be dead.

The Forbidden Forest is so dangerous, and that's inseparable from Hagrid's giant brother.

He eats, sleeps, and snores all day long... his voice is so loud it shakes the trees and stops the clouds in their tracks.

Who was at the top of the food chain before the ban on forests?

Eight-eyed giant spider, centaur tribe, Luwei the little one... and a Hagrid.

Now a giant taller than Hagrid has come from the south. Who can stand this?

The tense situation in the forest ban is also related to the Malaysians.

This tribe is showing signs of merging, and it is very likely to happen.

How could a tribe that was supposed to be quite united have become like this in just a few years?

This brings us to William, that real troublemaker.

In recent years, he has persisted in cultural export and made deals with Ronan and the Fire Kiss siblings.

Ronan collected raw materials from the Forbidden Forest, exchanged them for Galleons with William, and then bought things from him.

At first, it was just alchemical items, and William would also give away some Muggle daily necessities.

Free things are always the most expensive.

Many horsemen, after using them for a while, discovered that human daily necessities... are really convenient.

They all urged Ronan to intensify his efforts.

Ronan had no choice but to trade with William for more items... not just weapons, but all kinds of daily necessities.

They're even interested in diapers!

It is said that many male horsemen have found it to be quite good.

Sometimes when hunting, you have to stand all day and can't leave droppings anywhere... Using that stuff makes you feel silky smooth.

And then there's Firekiss... Under William, she was just a long-term laborer, a centaur girl earning pocket money.

They dream of getting rich overnight every day.

William could offer her an easy job that pays well.

Ahem... Don't get the wrong idea, it's purely a study of centaur anatomy.

Very research-oriented, very serious kind.

William gave her many of Lockhart's books, which she then distributed to the horsewomen.

These centaurs had never seen anything like it before... and were immediately captivated.

William also wanted to find someone to spend some money to help translate Aunt Qiong Yao's books.

The novel's values are indeed questionable, but that's cultural invasion. Why should we care about correct values?

So now the situation is that the leader of the horsemen is determined to close the village off and continue to live a hard life deep in the forbidden forest.

Having enjoyed human daily necessities and "heard" of the extravagant lifestyle of the centaurs outside... they have some minor complaints.

William naturally supports the Malaysians who pursue "freedom," otherwise, wouldn't all their previous investments have gone down the drain?

This is a peaceful evolution!

While William was pondering, Hermione, Anne, and Hagrid were already discussing the Magical Creatures Protection Class.

"Are you alright, Hagrid?" Anne asked him worriedly.

"It's nothing," Hagrid said, feigning cheerfulness. "I've just been busy, you know, with the same old stuff—preparing lessons—and the scales of my two salamanders are rotting."

Okay, I'll keep it for future reference.

Following Professor Trelawney, Hagrid successfully became the second professor to be retained for probation.

Hermione comforted her, "It's alright, Umbridge won't be at school for long."

“Yes,” Anne said, “Fudge certainly won’t be minister for much longer.”

"It's alright. I won't be staying at school for much longer. Those giants need to leave the Alps, and I'm going to help them," Hagrid reassured him.

"How much longer until you leave?" Annie asked, her face full of reluctance.

"One or two months at most," Hagrid said with a chuckle.

Seeing the little girl's expression, he waved his hand to comfort her:

"It's not the end of the world. If I leave here, I can help Dumbledore and do something for the Order of the Phoenix."

Grapland will give you lessons, and you will... you will pass the exams smoothly.

Before I leave, I will visit Roy and say goodbye.

They all remained silent, somewhat saddened.

They continued toward the forbidden forest, where the weeds along the path grew increasingly lush and the trees increasingly dense.

Soon, a rhythmic rumbling sound could be heard, sounding like thunder.

Before the Christmas holidays, William and his two companions had already visited Gropp in the Forbidden Forest.

After not seeing him for winter break, Gropp had gained quite a bit of weight and was wearing a suit that Hagrid had made from a modified animal skin bedsheet.

The smudged brown blouse revealed a very broad back beneath it; when Grop slept, the rough seams between the animal hides were taut.

His legs were tucked under his body, and two huge, dirty bare feet could be seen.

When Hagrid was about three or four meters away from Grop, he picked up a broken branch from the ground and poked Grop in the back with the tip of the branch.

The giant roared, and the sound echoed throughout the silent Forbidden Forest. Birds chirped and flew away from their roosts, disappearing from the treetops.

Hagrid quickly dropped the branch and backed away.

Gropp was clearly grumpy when he was woken up; he roared like thunder and pounded his chest with his fist.

He tried to grab something and throw it away, but everything around him had already been thrown away, and there was nothing left to throw.

He slammed his fist on the ground, as if it were an earthquake.

"Are you alright, little Gloucester?" Hagrid tried to make his tone sound cheerful.

"Ha-ten-ger," Grop mumbled.

Ok?

Why did William feel like he heard the name of a singer using a pulse singing style?

"Remember William, Hermione, and Anne? They came to see you last time," Hagrid added.

Gropp certainly remembered William, especially his killing of giants in the Alps... Upon seeing William, he looked somewhat fearful.

Hagrid comforted Grop for a while, fed him some food, and then led him toward a cave.

Since Hagrid returned, William has frequently taken time to come to this cave to cast the Unseen Stretching Charm.

Although it's not a large area, it's a place that can provide shelter from the wind and rain for Gropp.

William can use magic at the cave entrance to make the Forbidden Forest much safer.

After dealing with all of this, William walked out of the cave.

"How's it going? Have you made contact with Ronan yet?" He looked at Hermione at the cave entrance.

Hermione, holding a piece of parchment, shook her head worriedly and said, "No, Ronan seems to have gone missing."

The parchment was enchanted with a transmutation spell; if a message were to be transmitted, Ronan, who held the other parchment, would see its contents.

But he hasn't replied yet.

William glanced at the moonlight, which was slowly fading away. He suddenly turned his head and said quickly, "Someone's coming."

Hermione produced a wand and cautiously stared into the darkness.

Rapid hooves broke through the darkness, and a chestnut-colored horseman appeared.

She had a beautiful face, red pupils, a maroon ponytail, and long, fiery red hair, parted into two strands that fell in front of her, blocking the huge headlights.

—Fire Kiss.

The centaur slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of William. She had come running all the way and was now panting heavily, her chest heaving.

"William, thank goodness, you're here! Something's happened!"

William frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that the centaur tribe has started a rebellion and is now fighting against Wang Lun... oops, I mean, the centaur chieftain?

"It's Ferenze, he's going to be killed! My brother sent me to find you, come with me now!" Firekiss flicked its tail.

"If we're too late, he'll be killed!"

"Hermione, go and inform Hagrid. I'll go check on things first," William instructed Hermione.

Hermione nodded and ran into the cave.

William didn't hesitate and immediately mounted his horse.

Fire Kiss said "Hold on tight," then turned and sped away.

As William rode on Firekiss, he had only one thought:
