From morning to afternoon, club members filed out.

"Great!!!" a student said excitedly, "It's as if the professor belongs to me alone..."

"We all think so." His companion said with a smile.

But he didn't hear it clearly at all, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Professor Hep also discussed with me about the topic of more handsome casting postures. Did you hear it?"

"I'm a hundred feet away from you, buddy!"

A girl said: "Professor Hep was very patient. When he was talking to me about the structure of the magic runes of illumination, he said that it looked like a lily of the valley."

"Huh? The professor told me about tulips." Another girl said.

"Obviously it's a rose..."

Several people looked at each other and argued with each other. Ron couldn't help saying: "Maybe Professor Hep just wanted to express an arc structure. These flowers look alike, don't they?"

The girls who were discussing heatedly stared at Ron, snorted and left.

Ron touched his head and said puzzledly: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you just ruined their good mood today." Hermione said casually.

They came to a courtyard, where plants grew lushly beside the winding paths. Harry picked up the orange-red spherical fruits in the bushes, and next to them was a large clump of mistletoe dotted with white beads.

"Is Sirius okay, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"He's fine. He's been busy preparing for his brother's funeral recently. He doesn't want anyone else to interfere." Harry said softly.

"I remember his name was Regulus Black?" Ron said excitedly: "He's so cool, a lone hero..." He lowered his voice and said: "As a Death Eater, he played a trick on the mysterious man. He deserves this treatment."

"Yes, but we must not mention the Horcrux at the funeral. Headmaster Dumbledore talked to me specifically. You know..."

Ron laughed, "He must have been very distressed at the time. Maybe he even thought about casting a forgetfulness spell on us."

"Ron!" Hermione said sternly.

"Well, I just said it casually, of course it won't happen..."

Hermione looked around worriedly, she felt that this place was not safe: "Harry, we'd better not mention that word outside."

"Horcrux?"

Harry muttered softly, thinking seriously, "You are right, but most people don't know what this is Luna?" Harry stared at the little girl in the garden in astonishment. She was holding a food box in one hand and a half-woven mistletoe wreath in the other.

Luna's eyes were evasive. She threw the wreath aside and pretended to suddenly discover them. "Hello, Harry, Hermione, Ron. It's nice to see you." She said in a singing voice.

"What are you doing here?" Harry said, he suddenly regretted discussing this topic in the garden. He didn't know how much Luna heard?

"I'm waiting for Ginny. You know, she will be hungry. A picnic is essential." Luna swayed gently, and her waist-length golden hair swung back and forth.

"Really?" Ron also showed a suspicious look, "Did you hear it?"

"Luna"

Ginny ran over from a distance, she panted and said breathlessly: "Sorry, I'm late, Fred and George insisted that I try their new products, and I finally got away. This matter must not be known to them... Go to the Forbidden Forest to visit Firenze Ron?"

Ginny stared, and stayed for several seconds before realizing her slip of the tongue. She screamed: "Why are you here? Are you trying to eavesdrop! Oh, Hermione, Harry, you are also..." Her expression became blank: "What happened?"

Harry and the others looked at each other, as if it was really an accident.

Luna hummed softly, she picked up the wreath that was thrown on the ground and wove it by herself.

A few minutes later, they walked towards Hagrid's hut

. "We are also concerned about you, Ginny." Ron said: "There was an attack on the edge of the Forbidden Forest two months ago..."

"Yes, your leg was hit by a dark magic and swelled to twice its size." Ginny said lightly.

"It's still bleeding! Ginny, you don't care about your brother at all?" Ron said dissatisfiedly.

"Worried? I was naturally worried when I heard it for the first time," Ginny said with a straight face, "The second time, the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time..."

Ron's face flushed, even the roots of his ears were red.

Harry began to change the subject. He knew exactly how Ron boasted afterwards, and he had heard it more times. However, Ron's curse was to block himself, and Harry thought Ron was completely worthy of the words he praised himself.

So he said, "Uh, so you're going to visit a centaur? It just so happens that we want to go to Hagrid's place to see Buckbeak. Maybe they can become friends..."

Harry stopped talking and suddenly wanted to slap himself. Centaurs have a strong sense of self-esteem. He hesitantly explained, "I mean... yes, uh, they are all our friends."

Luna said happily, "You're right, Harry. I think you will become friends. Firenze is very friendly."

"Firenze? Firenze?"

Harry and Hermione said in surprise at the same time. Harry said, "I know him, Firenze, in the first grade! I met a dark wizard who hunted unicorns. Later I found out that it was Quirrell. He worked for Voldemort and the mysterious man. It was Firenze who helped me and took me away from there."

He chose the words carefully and did not use the word "ride" because his experience told him that centaurs are very taboo about this.

Luna looked at Harry in a trance. Harry added, "It's true. He looks very young, his hair is white and blond, and his body is very strong..."

Luna smiled.

A group of people came to Hagrid's hut and saw the burly Hagrid weeding the pumpkin field. When they approached, Hagrid was holding a red umbrella and gesturing in the field.

"Hagrid!"

Hagrid turned around, "Harry, Ron, Hermione! Oh, and there are two little girls, one is from the Weasley family, what's your name?"

"Ginny, Ginny Weasley."

"What about you?" Hagrid looked at Luna, and the tip of his umbrella hit a pumpkin next to him, and a big hole exploded with a "bang", and yellow juice splashed all over their faces, "Oh, sorry!"

Hagrid said hurriedly, he lifted Harry and Ron who were closest to him aside, "I'm going to find a rag, it's not good to use magic on you," he explained in a low voice, "I'm not very good at life magic, I missed the good time..."

"Wait, Hagrid, clean it up! Clean it up! Clean it up!"

With the help of Hermione, they finally got down to business in a short time.

"Buckbeak? It's back to its tribe, and its tribe misses it very much." Hagrid said, waving his arms. Harry and the others felt a little sorry, but they were still happy for Buckbeak.

When they heard that they were going to visit the centaurs, Hagrid glared at them and yelled, "You are asking for your life! We were attacked just two months ago! And the Battle of the Corridor Bridge, if I hadn't been in the hospital, I would have missed it..." He stared at them blankly for a long time, and said dejectedly, "I can't help either, I don't know that spell."

Harry and the others comforted him, "You saved me, Hagrid, remember? Madam Pomfrey said that if it was delayed for a while, the legs would have to be cut off and regrown." Ron said sincerely.

"Hagrid, you used the Swelling Charm very well." Hermione said, looking at the pumpkins outside the window.

Harry racked his brains, but unfortunately he couldn't find any appropriate reason. "They are all right, Hagrid, you can't underestimate yourself."

"Thank you, thank you..." Hagrid took out a handkerchief emotionally, wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and suddenly reacted: "Stop! You haven't told me why you are going to the Forbidden Forest?"

"We are going to visit Firenze. I haven't seen him for several months." Luna said: "Besides, big guy, I like the layout of your place. It is very similar to my home."

Hagrid laughed: "Call me Hagrid, little girl. What's your name?"

"Luna, Luna Lovegood." She shook her head and said.

Hagrid took out a few dirty things from a dusty bag and gave them to them one by one. "What is this?" Harry asked. It looked like the bones of some creature.

Luna had already puffed up her cheeks and blew. A loud whistle appeared. After a while, she stopped and panted slightly.

Hagrid said gruffly, "Look, Luna has demonstrated it. It's a bone whistle. I use it when I train animals in the Forbidden Forest. If you encounter danger, it may be useful. Of course... little ones, I don't recommend you go to the Forbidden Forest..." He said very entangledly.

Finally, Hagrid took them to see Firenze. Luna put a mistletoe wreath on the centaur's head and shared the food in the food box together. Because there were too many people, everyone didn't get much. Harry felt even hungrier after eating.

He missed the Great Hall in the castle very much, but it was also interesting to meet Firenze again. It would be even better if he didn't talk about difficult astrology.

"The halo of Mars recently is very strange. We think it means something." Firenze said. He strongly suggested that Luna do a fire and smoke divination with sage and sweet mallow. "You are the most spiritual human I have ever met." Luna

did so. Harry was surprised that she carried these things with her, even more surprised than her cork necklace and airship lee earrings, so they had to sit together and observe the choking smoke rising. Hagrid sat down, taller than they were standing. The breeze blew, and the smoke mixed with incense blew towards him, and he kept sneezing.

Firenze was not affected at all. "Fate has brought us together to form a prophecy." He bent on the ground and observed carefully, trying to find some shapes and symbols.

"It looks like the magic taught by Professor Happ." Ron muttered to Harry. Harry didn't find any similarities between the two. He thought it looked a bit like Buckbeak's flapping wings.

"It looks like a cloak of fire." Ginny expressed her opinion. She treated this as a game.

Hermione chose to watch coldly and sat quietly on the side without saying anything. She had never been interested in these strange things.

"Humans have never been very good at doing this kind of thing. Even centaurs have acquired this ability after a long time." Firenze said calmly, "and it is easy to make mistakes. Luna, what did you see?"

"I saw a party. Everyone was very happy. Everyone launched fireworks into the sky." Luna said happily. "I wish I would be there too."

Firenze said somewhat disappointedly, "I thought it was a hint of war..." The others looked at him puzzledly, and he explained, "Mars is the leader of the war. In the past ten years, there have been signs that the people in the wizarding world are just experiencing a short period of peace between the two wars. But there have been new changes recently, and the elders in the clan can't understand it." He shook his head and didn't continue this heavy topic.

After that, Harry and his friends returned to the castle, had a big meal, and put all this behind them.

They returned to the Gryffindor common room, and Percy was standing in front of the bulletin board looking at the recruitment information on it. "Isn't he going to the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked.

Ron shrugged, "Penelope hasn't been found yet. She has received several letters of recommendation, but her favorite job is abroad, and Percy tried to keep her." After

a few minutes, Percy left excitedly.

Before returning to the dormitory, Harry glanced at the advertisement above. Combined with the approximate location before Percy left, he found an inconspicuous newspaper clipping in the corner. He didn't look at the small print below carefully, but he remembered the name of the company,

Future World.
