The 11th classroom that Firenze was in was rarely used, previously it looked like an unattended cupboard or storage room.
But at this moment, the floor of the classroom was covered with soft moss, and trees grew out from underneath it.
Their branches were covered with luxuriant leaves, forming a fan shape that extended across the ceiling and windows, blocking out the moonlight.
Firenze let them in, he stood in the middle of the empty space without any trees.
"Hello, Firenze!" Elwyn said, looking at the centaur that did not change much, "Why are you here at Hogwarts?"
"Obviously, because I am willing to accept Professor Dumbledore's job ….."
"What I mean is, what do the other centaurs in the tribe think of you coming to Hogwarts?" Elwyn said, looking at the black horseshoe shaped bruise on Firenze's chest, "They won't agree so easily right?"
"They have already exiled me, they think that my actions are a betrayal to my brethren." Firenze said, "This is not strange at all, you know them Elwyn, you know what they think. I don't think their method of exiling me is wrong. Similarly, I don't think my decision to come to Hogwarts is wrong. According to the guidance of the stars, I should have come here."
Centaurs have spent their entire lives observing the changing trajectories of the planets, and firmly believed in the fate foretold by the stars.
But the stars guiding Firenze to Hogwarts as a divination professor was too ridiculous, the stars would not care about such matters.
It was him who wanted to come here, as a different breed among the centaurs, Firenze was very interested in human civilisation.
Of course, since he came to the castle, he was already prepared to pay the price.
Firenze was like the other centaurs, he knew many secrets, but he would never speak them out directly.
But overall, he was one of the more reliable centaurs, willing to help. Although he did not know how to use magic, his close combat and archery skills were very strong.
They chatted for a while, then Firenze told Elwyn that the centaurs were losing patience with the giant Glop.
He hoped that Elwyn would persuade Hagrid to give up. From his point of view, Hagrid was losing his mind, and that kind of effort would be useless.
Elwyn promised to tell Hagrid, but Hagrid would definitely not give up. He was as stubborn as a centaur on this matter.
Not to mention, because Elaine wanted to be friends with Glop, Hagrid was very excited.
He even told Elwyn where Glop was and asked him to bring Hermione and Elaine there when he was free.
That night, the conversation in the castle quickly shifted from the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff to the cruel Umrich, the pitiful Professor Trelawney and the new divination professor, Firenze. Only Elwyn, Harry and Hermione were looking forward to the report the next morning. Elaine knew about this, but she did not take it to heart.
She wanted to see the giant wholeheartedly. The girl was very interested in big things that she had never seen before.
On Monday morning, Hermione kept staring at the ceiling, waiting for the owl to deliver the latest newspaper.
She was not the only one waiting anxiously for the Hogwarts Magic Bulletin. Almost everyone was eager to know the latest news about the Death Eaters on the run.
Although many people reported seeing them, not a single one had been caught.
Umrich had already stopped people from ordering the Hogwarts Magic Bulletin, but not many people obeyed.
They had other ways to mail it in other things.
The number of owls was very large every morning. Umrich and Filch could not check all of them.
They would only focus on the mail sent to Elwyn, Harry and the others.
"Oh, here it comes!" Hermione said. She had been looking at the ceiling since morning.
A black owl landed with the latest issue of the Hogwarts Magic Bulletin. The headline on the front page was the interview about Elwyn and Harry: Tell the Truth, We Witnessed the Resurrection of the Unknowns. Below the huge headline was a photo of Elwyn and Harry.
Then, there were rows of headlines: The Return of the Unknowns and Its Influence, Dumbledore's Speech at the International Sorcerer Union, The Boy Who Survived Harry Potter Accuses the Death Eaters Hiding in the Crowd, The Truth Behind the Azkaban Prison Break, The Truth Foggy, the Head of the Ministry of Magic, The Loopholes in the Ministry of Magic's Management, What We Should Do in the Face of Danger, and so on.
Today's Hogwarts Magic Bulletin was the exclusive edition of Lord Voldemort.
It started with the interview with Elwyn and Harry, and then it was all about the Lord Voldemort, the Death Eaters, and the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic.
The Hogwarts Magic Bulletin called on all wizards to recognize the truth and stand up to resist.
"Looks good!" Hermione said, quickly flipping through the newspaper. "There's a lot of important news in it."
"It's really good, but I wonder how the response will be?"
This question was immediately answered. Five minutes after they received the Hogwarts Magic Bulletin, the auditorium welcomed a second rain of owls. The number was astonishing. The owls crowded together like a large dark cloud, and they were still pouring in.
All the students, whether they had subscribed to the Hogwarts Magic Bulletin or not, immediately turned their eyes to Elwyn.
They had seen this phenomenon once before, when the truth of the Sirius incident was reported.
At that time, the entire world of magic seemed to have gone crazy. People kept writing letters to Elwyn and Harry until the end of the semester.
But this time, the number of owls far exceeded the previous time. Everyone knew that Elwyn must have done something again.
Imagine the scene, a few hundred owls pouring in at the same time, and there would be more behind.
They kept squeezing, screaming, and flapping their wings, all hoping to be the first to hand the letter to Elwyn or Harry.
"I never thought that I would see this scene again. I thought that once was enough!" Ron said.
"They're all letters from readers. This report was a huge success!" Hermione said excitedly. She picked up a letter and opened it. "Look, this person is willing to believe us. He's willing to believe that the demon is back!"
"Not everyone!" Harry also opened a letter and crumpled it into a ball. "This guy said that Elwyn and I are crazy. He suggested that we go to St. Mungo for a period of magic shock treatment."
"This one is a bit contradictory!" Fred also joined in the opening of the letter excitedly. "He said that you don't seem to be crazy, but he really doesn't want to believe that the mysterious man is back, so he doesn't know what to think now. God, what a waste of parchment! "
"Here's one mentioning my uncle!" Elaine said. "He thinks that the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet are very unjust and blame everything on vampires. But since the Quidditch World Cup, I haven't seen any vampires. Well, this guy does have a point, but I've been here all this time … "
"Okay, stop tearing it!" Elwyn said, looking up at the owls that almost covered the entire ceiling. He hurriedly pulled Hermione up. "There are too many, we can't tear them all down. If you don't want to be surrounded by owls and letters, leave here quickly. I'll ask Dobby to help deal with these letters. "
