Chapter 124: Destroying the Centaurs (Part 1)

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, Firenze was eating the fruits on the table frantically.

"How long have you not eaten?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking as she watched him eat.

"Several days." Firenze swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and said.

"Firenze, Headmaster Dumbledore is looking for you again." Harry suddenly ran in and shouted to Firenze. At this time, he saw Professor McGonagall, stopped quickly, and bowed politely to Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, Firenze, go find Albus first, and continue eating after you come out." Professor McGonagall said softly.

Firenze nodded, but he didn't want to put down the fruits now, so he chose to pick up the basket of fruits and walked towards Dumbledore's office.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm here." After Firenze gave the stone beast at the door a secret order, he was able to walk into Dumbledore's office and shouted.

"Firenze, you are here. I called you here to verify what you said before. If you don't mind, I think I can extract a trace of your memory. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course, just extract it at will." Firenze said indifferently.

"Don't worry, you eat first, I still need to notify other professors." Dumbledore used the call of the gods, and a phoenix appeared in front of him. Then he whispered to the phoenix, and then the phoenix disappeared through the wall.

After a while, Snape and the other four deans entered the office, and then Hagrid also walked in. Suddenly, the office, which was originally quite empty, became crowded.

"Hagrid, please help me hold the meditation basin. It's too small here, and it's not convenient for us to talk."

Hagrid nodded and picked up the meditation basin on the table beside him. Then everyone saw that Dumbledore didn't know when he put on the ring, and then he drew with his hands. Finally, he pointed forward, and the channel of the mirror space was opened.

"Everyone, come in."

Firenze and Hagrid had never seen the mirror space, so they looked at it with some curiosity, but the other deans had seen it, and they had to sigh at Dumbledore's talent. He had learned the mirror space in just one day.

Then everyone entered the mirror space, but Firenze and Hagrid found that the space here did not become larger, but the next second Dumbledore pointed upwards, and the floor was infinitely stretched, and six chairs and a table appeared at the same time.

"Hagrid, bring the Pensieve over."

Then Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and pointed the tip of the wand at Firenze's temple. As he gently pulled, a silver-white silk thread was pulled out by the Elder Wand.

After Dumbledore put the silk thread into the Pensieve, everyone saw Firenze's memory, and saw the centaurs eating the corpse of the Acromantula like crazy, especially Aragog. It was not even completely dead, and the group of centaurs couldn't help but pounce on it to eat its body.

Looking at the purgatory-like scene, Dumbledore's expression suddenly changed.

"Albus, we have no choice. They can't survive." Snape said.

"No, look here, these children, they don't seem to be eating corpses, maybe they can still be saved." Dumbledore said.

"No, Principal Dumbledore, they are hopeless, maybe you can check my other memory." Firenze shook his head with a wry smile.

Dumbledore sighed and raised the Elder Wand. As he drew a wavy line in the air, a brand new memory was put into the Pensieve. Looking at the young centaurs whose memory was even crazier than that of adult centaurs, Dumbledore knew that they must not be kept. The magic world cannot have such powerful and cruel centaurs.

"Firenze, I'm curious, why haven't you changed?" Dumbledore looked at Firenze in confusion. At the same time, the wide sleeves of the other deans blocked the wands in their hands. As long as Firenze said something wrong, four dazzling green lights would hit him directly.

As for Hagrid, he was still immersed in the death of Aragog and couldn't extricate himself. He hid aside and wiped his tears with a small handkerchief.

"I don't know, maybe it's because Ms. Hufflepuff, she once blessed me, or for other reasons, I don't know."

"Can I check your body?"

Firenze nodded, and then Dumbledore stepped forward to check Firenze's body and found that there was nothing wrong with his body. At this time, Constantine actually entered the mirror space.

"Hey, I was wondering who opened the mirror space, what are you doing?"

Professor McGonagall stepped forward and briefly explained the whole story. Constantine nodded and said, "Remember what I taught you, sometimes you need to change your perspective to see the world."

After saying that, Constantine slapped Firenze's soul out with a palm, and everyone immediately saw that there was a sleeping little badger hidden in Firenze's soul. Professor Sprout recognized it at a glance. This is the representative badger of their Hufflepuff.

"It seems that Ms. Hufflepuff changed your soul and made you different from the centaurs, but here I still need to say sorry to you, Firenze, we can't keep them." Dumbledore pulled back Firenze's soul and said helplessly.

"It's okay, Principal Dumbledore. I understand your feelings. Don't pay attention to it. Just clean them up." Firenze said with sadness in his eyes. Even if he was chased by the centaurs and even if the centaurs wanted to eat him, this was after all the tribesmen who had lived with him for many years, and they were the last of them.

Seeing such a sad Firenze, everyone didn't know how to comfort him. After all, they would kill his remaining tribesmen with their own hands, and now they could only let him stay alone for a while.

"Firenze, you stay in the mirror space next. After we deal with the centaurs, we will let you out. Do you think it's okay?" Although Dumbledore was asking, Firenze knew that he had no choice.

"Okay, Principal Dumbledore." Firenze said softly.

Then Dumbledore and the others left the mirror space, and when Constantine knew that they were going to clean up the centaurs, he caught up with them.

"Wait a minute, you guys are going to kill the centaurs, so I'll go with you. I'll show you my magic. Please call Hermione."

"Are you sure you want Hermione to see the next scene?"

"You can't see the rainbow without going through the storm."

"I know."

Then Constantine and the others came to the outside of the centaur tribe. Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand, and the Fiendfyre immediately surrounded the entire centaur tribe. Then Kroot walked out gracefully. If they hadn't seen him in Firenze's memory, they probably would have really thought that the centaurs were something good.
