Chapter 347 345. Astrology

After finishing his conversation with Cedric, Jon was about to rest and continue to catch the Golden Snitch tomorrow, when Firenze suddenly found Jon alone again.

He looked like he had something to say to Jon in private, and waited until no one was around.

"As for why the Dark Lord suddenly wanted to hold the Triwizard Tournament, I don't know the reason, but there may be one thing that can provide you with some help."

Jon's face became serious, and he listened to Firenze's words.

"Our entire tribe is quite proficient in astrology and divination, and I delved into it particularly deeply when I was young. But I have always regarded this talent as an interest, and rarely really superstitious about the results of divination. Many human divinations are based on trivial accidents. In fact, in front of the vast universe, these things are as insignificant as ants, not affected by the movement of planets, and not understood by life."

"The day before the Dark Lord captured Hogwarts Castle, I observed the changes in the stars. The starlight of Centaurus was dim, and the whole sky was not covered by any dark clouds, but it seemed particularly obscure. I asked someone to find Hagrid, knowing that something big was going to happen, and wanted him to tell the news I passed it to Dumbledore, but it was too late. When I learned all this from the stars, Dumbledore himself probably knew that the war was inevitable, and there would be a duel between him and the Dark Lord about the future of Britain. "

"It was after that day that the originally bright stars began to become dim and uncertain, Saturn's rings broke out several times, and Pluto began to change and deviate from the established planetary orbit. It was also from that day that such a star sign was fixed, and at the same time, the Dark Lord completely ruled the whole of Britain and this castle. But the trajectory of fate is shifting, but there is one thing that has never changed. "

While speaking, Firenze pointed to the starry sky above him and Jon's head.

"Do you see the star right above us? It's the one facing the Hogwarts Castle Observatory. "

Jon squinted his eyes, and he followed Firenze's guidance and saw the bright star at that moment among the stars in the sky.

"What does that star represent?"

"This star started shining after the Dark Lord defeated Dumbledore, and it never appeared before."

Jon pondered.

"Does it represent the Dark Lord's rule over Hogwarts?"

"Who is your astrology professor? Or Sybil Trelawney?"

"Well, Professor Trelawney seems to have fled to Northern Europe. Her failed prophecy hurt many people at the time. Although no one wants to blame her for this, she also blames herself and is embarrassed to follow Professor Dumbledore."

"In other words, you have never taken a divination class now?"

"Professor Potter occasionally tells us about the knowledge related to the crystal ball."

Hearing Jon's answer, Firenze also showed an expression of realization on his face.

"Normal prophecies and the predictions brought by nature are vague. The purpose of fortune-tellers is to interpret these vague predictions so as to see the impact of the universe and nature on people. Some people who are born with extraordinary talents in interpreting predictions can even see clear predictions of the future with their eyes. But no matter what, the most straightforward interpretation of these predictions must be wrong divination. This is an undoubted fact from ancient times to the present, and it is also the foundation for learning the entry of divination."

"The meaning of this star that appeared after the Dark Lord occupied Hogwarts Castle is definitely not him, but this castle."

After hearing Firenze's explanation of the stars, Jon couldn't help but blinked.

"Then why did this star light up when the Dark Lord became the principal of Hogwarts Castle?"

"It's actually very simple to interpret such astrological phenomena. We need to use the stars themselves to look at such predictions." Firenze said softly, "It is burning itself."

"Burning itself?"

"Yes, it is trying its best to protect itself from being swallowed by darkness in this night sky, but in fact such invasion is going on all the time, until one day, this star turns red, and then it will completely die."

Firenze turned his head and looked at Jon.

"It represents this castle. Although the Dark Lord defeated Dumbledore and claimed to be the principal of Hogwarts, in fact, this castle has never recognized him. He has no way to stay in the school for a long time. This school is rejecting him and making it impossible for him to become the real master of Hogwarts!"

Firenze's words suddenly reminded Jon that Voldemort would only appear in Hogwarts Castle on the two nights of the beginning and end of the semester.

At other times, even on Christmas Eve, as the headmaster, he would not come to the castle to celebrate with the students. This was of course an extremely abnormal thing!

Jon looked up at the starry sky above his head again, his eyes fixed on the star directly above the Hogwarts Castle. He could feel that the seemingly bright starlight was actually fading, and the darkness was ready to move towards it, like a pack of wolves surrounding its prey, chasing it every moment, and trying to tear a piece of meat from it every minute and every second.

"He occupied the entire United Kingdom and became the nominal principal of Hogwarts, but he had no way to control this castle." Jon murmured to himself, "After we came to Hogwarts, he He has been prohibiting any of us from entering the castle privately, and it is also because of this that the castle does not belong to him yet. During the period when he cannot stay in school, he also prohibits others from doing anything in his private area. "

Firenze said seriously.

"He has always wanted to gain complete control of this castle. I don't know what he has done for this, but he must have made some moves. All he wants is to become the true master of this school. If he will The legitimacy of Hogwarts is at stake in the Triwizard Tournament, so I think maybe this game has something to do with the ownership of this castle."

Jon thought in silence.

He had never thought of such a thing. Maybe Dumbledore knew more than him, so he arranged the castle when the Triwizard Tournament was going on. However, these things were not discussed with Joe. Well communicate.

Jon knew that it wasn't that Dumbledore didn't trust him, but that he didn't want to shoulder so many things at such a young age. The Triwizard Tournament alone was enough for Jon to worry about.

"Thank you, Firenze. What you told me tonight is very useful. I will discuss it with Professor Dumbledore when I go back."

After communicating the information about Hogwarts Castle to Jon, Firenze did not disturb his rest anymore and returned to the centaur camp, while Cedric had already left Jon after his private conversation with him. , had already left the Forbidden Forest and returned to the castle. During the day, he had almost exposed his secret. He couldn't go back too late tonight, otherwise it would be too easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

Early the next morning, Jon woke up early, mounted Hoth and left the centaur camp.

Things about the centaur and follow-up arrangements will have to wait until the end of his game in the Forbidden Forest, and it is already the third day of the first project.

At eight o'clock tonight, it is the time to complete the game. The three people who are competing in the Forbidden Forest can choose to end the game at any time. At the same time, the results will be counted according to the length of time.

Jon has no intention of competing for the first place in time. Judging from the score ratio, catching more Golden Snitches and ranking in terms of quantity will have more points advantages.

Now that Draco has been eliminated, even if he leaves the Forbidden Forest on the last day, he will still be in third place in terms of time and can get twenty points.

Of course, he would definitely not choose so late. According to the number of Golden Snitches that Jon has already obtained, according to his plan, he only needs to find another hundred Golden Snitches to bring the number to two hundred, which is five points of the total. Second, it can basically be determined that it is number one in terms of quantity.

Based on the time it took him to deal with these fire dragons and get the golden snitch, he could have walked out of the Forbidden Forest before twelve o'clock, which would ensure that he would not be too behind in the speed of completing the game.

Throughout the next day, Jon and Hoss worked together to collect the golden snitches based on the fire dragon supplement map he had drawn in the Forbidden Forest, looking for targets who were not flexible enough and easy to deal with.

For example, he found two Ukrainian iron bellies at the entrance of the valley where the centaurs were trapped before. It is difficult to knock down such large fire dragons, but if you want to catch the golden snitch from them, you must Much more convenient than other dragons.

Jon spent a whole morning collecting all the golden snitches around the two Ukrainian Iron Bellys. Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Matthew gave each of the four of them a bag with a traceless stretching spell cast on it. , all the golden snitches he collected were placed in this bag, and it would not affect the carrying.

After finding something for lunch, he continued to look for other fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest.

During this period, Jon also discovered two fire dragons whose surrounding golden snitches had been taken away. It was obvious that Diane or Emil had arrived here in advance.

Even though their method of capturing the Golden Snitch would definitely not be as convenient as Jon's, they all had their own methods. Jon discovered that a fire dragon that no longer had a Golden Snitch around had signs of being hit by an eye disease curse.

And just when the sun was setting in the west, Jon counted the number of golden snitches in his hand, and was about to go find the last fire dragon. When he got the golden snitch next to it to complete the goal of two hundred, he met Dem Strong’s Warrior – Diane.

"Professor Green!"

Diane was obviously very happy when she saw Jon, but soon she became a little wary again, and the wand she held in her hand did not relax at all.

"Are you the real Professor Green?"

Jon shrugged her wariness.

"Who else here would imitate me?"

"That bastard Lestrange attacked me sneakily. We can't rule out that he won't do it again disguised as Professor Green."

Diane held up her wand, keeping the distance between Jon and Jon.

Until she heard Jon say to her.

"Then let's talk about things that only we know. When we were at Durmstrang Castle, you took me to the principal's office. Do you remember?"

After hearing these words, Diane breathed a sigh of relief and put down the wand.

It is possible for Emil to pretend to be Jon, but there is absolutely no chance of getting his memories from Jon.

After confirming that Jon was Jon, Diane completely let down her guard, approached Jon, and happily told him about her experiences after entering the Forbidden Forest.

"On the first day I entered this forest, I happened to meet an Australian Ovaleye. The dragon was not very aggressive towards people, but it didn't let me get close to its territory. I didn't have much experience at first. I secretly caught some golden snitches floating around while it was resting. Fortunately, even if it was discovered behind the dragon, it didn't bother me much. Even after knowing that I wanted those golden balls, He also took the initiative to help me drive them all to me so that I could catch it. "

"But then I wasn't so lucky, especially after I met the black dragon of the Hesidian Islands. It was so violent that it regarded those golden snitches as its own treasure. I got two of them, and it kept It kept chasing me until I was about to run out of its territory, but it breathed fire at me a few times and almost set my robe on fire. "

Diane's luck was actually pretty good. She didn't encounter any dragons that were too dangerous. The one with the highest attack power was the black dragon from the Hesidian Islands.

But Jon was actually more interested in her being attacked by Emile.

"When did Lestrange sneak up on you? Did he want to steal the Golden Snitch you got?"

Diane nodded and said.

"Just this morning, I just got 18 golden snitches from a Portuguese Longrosaurus, and then he attacked me from behind. Fortunately, I was always on guard, guarding against his move and his coma. The spell was blocked by my armor spell. Then we fought with each other, and several of the spells fell on the face of the long-snouted dragon, which angered it. It breathed out a lot of fire and wanted to use its claws. Capture us all so that I have to escape from there.”

Emile's behavior was not beyond Jon's expectations.

Even if Jon hadn't found him on the second day of the game and planned to strike first and make him aware of the strength gap between the two, he would have probably sneak-attacked him by now.
