Chapter 347 345. Astrology
After finishing the conversation with Cedric, Jon was about to go 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 he waited until a time when no one was around.
"As for why the Dark Lord suddenly wanted to host the Triwizard Tournament you said, I don't know the reason, but there may be one thing that can help you."
Jon's face became serious, and he listened to Firenze's words.
"Our entire group is relatively proficient in astrology and divination, and I studied it deeply when I was young. But I have always regarded this talent as an interest, and rarely have any real interest in the results of divination. How superstitious. Many human divinations are placed on insignificant accidents. In fact, in the face of the vast and magnificent universe, these things are as insignificant as ants, unaffected by the movement of the planets, and not understood by life."
"The day before the Dark Lord captured Hogwarts Castle, I observed the changes in the stars. The stars in Centaurus were dimmed. The whole sky was obviously not covered by any dark clouds, but it seemed particularly obscure. I had someone find it. Hagrid, knowing that something big was going to happen, wanted him to pass the news to Dumbledore, but it was already too late. When I learned all this from the astrology, Dumbledore probably knew it already War is inevitable, and there must be a duel between him and the Dark Lord over the future of Britain."
"After that day, the original bright stars began to become dim and uncertain, Saturn's rings broke out several times, and Pluto began to change, deviating from the established planetary orbit. From that day on, such astrology unexpectedly It settled down, and at the same time, the Dark Lord completely ruled the whole of England and this castle. But the trajectory of fate is shifting, but one thing has never changed."
While Firenze was talking, he pointed at the starry sky above his and Jon's heads at the same time.
"See that star directly above us? The one facing the Hogwarts Castle Observatory."
Jon narrowed his eyes. Following Firenze's guidance, he saw the bright stars at that moment among the stars in the sky.
"What does that star mean?"
"This star began to shine after the Dark Lord defeated Dumbledore, and it never appeared before."
Jon thought deeply.
"It represents the Dark Lord's rule over Hogwarts?"
"Who is your astrology professor? Or Sybill Trelawney?"
"Uh, Professor Trelawney seems to have fled to northern Europe. At that time, her failed prophecy hurt many people. Although no one should blame her for this, she also blamed herself for being embarrassed to follow Professor Dumbledore is here."
"That is to say, you have never taken a divination class?"
"Professor Potter occasionally tells us about crystal balls."
Hearing Jon's answer, Firenze also showed the original expression on his face.
"Normal prophecy and the omens brought by nature are all vague. The meaning of fortuneteller's existence is to interpret these ambiguous omens, so as to see clearly the influence of the universe and nature on people. Some are born to interpret omens People with extraordinary talents in this aspect can even see clear predictions of the future directly with their eyes. But no matter what, the most straightforward interpretation of these predictions must be wrong divination. This is beyond doubt from ancient times to the present It is also the basis for the entry into the science of divination."
"The meaning of this star that appeared after the Dark Lord occupied Hogwarts Castle is definitely not himself, but the castle."
Hearing Firenze's explanation of the astrology, Jon couldn't help blinking.
"Then why did the star light up when the Dark Lord became the Headmaster of Hogwarts Castle?"
"It's actually very simple to interpret such astrology. We need to use the stars themselves to view such omens." Firenze said softly, "It is burning itself."
"Burn yourself?"
"Yes, it is trying its best to protect itself from being swallowed by darkness in this night sky, but in fact, this kind of aggression is going on all the time, until one day, this star turns red, then it will go completely died."
Firenze turned to look at Jon.
"What it represents is this castle. Although the Dark Lord defeated Dumbledore and claimed to be the headmaster of Hogwarts, in fact, this castle has never recognized him. He has no way of staying in the school for a long time. This school is rejecting him, making him unable to be the real master of Hogwarts!"
Firenze's words made Jon suddenly think of the fact that Voldemort would only appear in Hogwarts Castle on the two nights at the beginning of school and the end of the semester.
At other times, even on the night of the Christmas dinner, as the principal, he would not come to the castle to celebrate with the students. This is of course extremely abnormal!
Jon looked at the starry sky above his head again, and fixed his eyes on the star directly above Hogwarts Castle. He could feel that the seemingly bright starlight was actually fading, and the darkness was about to move against it. It was like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey, following them all the time, trying to tear off a piece of meat from it every second.
"He occupied the whole of England and became the headmaster of Hogwarts in name, but he couldn't control the castle at all." Jon murmured, "After we came to Hogwarts, he It has been prohibiting any of us from entering the castle privately, and it is also because of this. The castle is not his yet, and during the time he cannot stay in school, he will also prohibit others from doing small things to his private land "
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 taken action. All he wants is to become the real master of this school. If he will The legitimacy of Hogwarts is at stake in this Triwizard Tournament, so I think this match may have something to do with the ownership of this castle."
Jon thought silently.
He had never thought of such a thing. Maybe Dumbledore knew more than him, so he arranged the castle when the Triwizard Tournament was in progress, but these things were not discussed with Joe. En communicate.
Jon knew that it wasn't that Dumbledore didn't trust him, but that he didn't want to take on so many things at a young age. The Triwizard Tournament alone was enough for Jon to worry about.
"Thank you, Firenze, the things you told me tonight are very useful. I will discuss it with Professor Dumbledore when I go back."
After communicating with Jon about the information about Hogwarts Castle, Firenze didn't bother him to rest, and returned to the centaur's camp, while Cedric was already in the camp after Jon finished talking with him privately. , he had already left the Forbidden Forest and returned to the castle. During the day, he almost revealed his secrets. 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, rode on Hoss and left the centaur camp.
The matter and follow-up arrangement of the horseman will not be discussed until the end of his game in the Forbidden Forest, and now it is the third day of the first project.
Tonight, at 8:00 p.m., it was time to complete the competition. The three players in the Forbidden Forest who were competing could choose to end the competition at any time. At the same time, the length of time would be included in the score.
Jon has no intention of competing for the first place in time. Judging from the score ratio, if you catch more golden snitches, you will have more score advantages in terms of number of rankings.
Now that Draco has been confirmed to be out, even if he walks out of the Forbidden Forest on the last day, he will still be third in terms of time and can get 20 points.
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, so that he could not be too far behind in completing the game.
The whole day after that, Jon and Hoss followed the fire dragon map he had drawn in the Forbidden Forest before, looking for objects that were not flexible enough to deal with, and collected the golden snitch.
For example, the two Ukrainian iron bellies he found at the entrance of the valley where the centaurs were trapped before. It is very difficult to knock down such oversized fire dragons, but if you want to catch the golden snitch from them, you must Much more convenient than other dragons.
It took Jon a whole morning to collect all the golden snitches around the two Ukrainian iron bellies. Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Matthew gave each of the four of them a bag with a traceless stretching spell cast on them. , All the golden snitches he collected were put in this bag, which would not affect carrying.
After finding something casually for lunch at noon, he continued to look for other fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest.
During this period, Jon also found two fire dragons whose surrounding golden snitches had been taken away. It was obvious that Diane or Emil had already come here in advance.
Even if their method of capturing the snitch is definitely not as convenient as Jon's, they all have their own methods. Jon found a fire dragon with no golden snitch around him that had been hit by the eye sickness spell.
And just as the sun was setting to the west, Jon counted the number of golden snitches in his hand, and was about to find the last fire dragon. When he got the golden snitch next to it, he could complete the goal of two hundred. He met Dem Strong Warrior - Diane.
"Professor Green!"
Diane was obviously very happy when she saw Jon, but soon she became a little alert again, and the wand in her hand did not relax at all.
"Are you the real Professor Green?"
Jon shrugged at her wariness.
"Here, who else will imitate me?"
"That **** Lestrange has sneaked up on me, and it cannot be ruled out that he won't pretend to be Professor Green and come again."
Diane held up her wand, keeping the distance between Jon and Jon.
Until she heard Jon talking to her.
"Then let's talk about things that only we know. When we were in Durmstrang Castle, you took me to the principal's office, remember?"
After hearing these words, Diane breathed a sigh of relief and put down her wand.
Emil may pretend to be Jon, but there is absolutely no chance of getting his memory from Jon.
After confirming that Jon is Jon, Diane completely let go of her guard, approached Jon, and happily talked to him about what happened to her after entering the Forbidden Forest.
"On the first day I entered this forest, I happened to meet an Australian opaleye. That dragon wasn't very aggressive towards people, but it wouldn't let me get close to its territory. I had no experience at first. Just around while it was resting, I secretly caught some golden snitches wandering outside. Fortunately, even if the dragon found it behind, it didn't make things difficult for me. Even after knowing that I wanted those golden balls, He also offered to help me drive them all to my side so that I could catch it."
"But then I was not so lucky, especially after meeting the black dragon of the Heshidiali Islands. It was extremely violent and regarded those golden snitches as its own treasure. I got two of them, and it kept going Chasing me until I was about to run out of its territory, it still sprayed me a few times and almost set my robe on fire."
Diane's luck was actually quite good, she didn't encounter any dragon species that were too dangerous, and the one with the highest attack power was the black dragon from the Heshidiali Islands.
But Jon is actually more interested in her being attacked by the emir.
"When did Lestrange sneak up on you? He wants to **** the golden snitch you got?"
Diane nodded and said.
"Just this morning, I got 18 snitches from a Portuguese long-nosed dragon, and he sneaked up on me in the back. Fortunately, I was always on guard against his move, his coma The spell was blocked by my Iron Armor spell. Then we fought each other, and some of the spells fell on the face of the long-nosed dragon, which enraged it. It spewed a lot of fire and wanted to use its claws. Take us all, and I have to escape from there."
Emil's behavior did not exceed Jon's expectations.
Even if Jon hadn't found him on the second day of the game, planning to strike first and let him know the strength gap between the two, he probably would have already attacked him.
