Chapter 196: Divination is useless (Edited)

Unlike the animals, who were afraid of Fluffy, the centaurs have a good relationship with Fluffy under Fish's introduction, so when they saw him from afar, several of the ponies came up to greet him.

And when they saw Fish up there, they ran around him excitedly.

"No wonder Firenze told everyone to prepare more food this morning, turns out he already predicted you'd come!" said Brandvarden excitedly, raising his front hooves, to Fish, who was sitting on Fluffy's neck.

"Fish doesn't believe nya! Your guessing is useless!".

(〃｀3′〃)

At first, Fish heard about centaur astrology and became quite interested.

As a result, he asked Bane and Firenze when he could stop doing homework, when he could defeat Minerva and where there was something delicious and fun, but they couldn't.

After that, Fish stopped believing in fortune telling.

"Uh..."

The ponies didn't know what to do, since astrology is not an easy thing.

Besides, what was Fish's divination all about? how could anyone ask this for divination?

Fortunately, Firenze came over at that time and helped some ponies, saying, "I just predicted that there will be guests today and a lot of food will be lost, so I speculated that Fluffy might come, but I didn't expect you to be here too."

He smiled and patted Brandvarden on the head, then looked up to greet Harry and Ron, "Welcome to our tribe, little guests."

"Hello."

Harry and Ron responded politely.

Then Fluffy leaned down, letting them drop from his neck.

"This is Harry and this is Ron, both good friends of Fish's from school nya."

Fish introduced them both, "This is Firenze, Brandvarden.... They are all centaurs and are responsible for managing the Forbidden Forest just like Hagrid."

Firenze and later Ronan approached Harry and looked closely at the scar on his forehead.

"Must be the Potter boy."

Ronan said in his characteristic low, melancholy voice, "Poor boy."

"But the stars have changed, haven't they?" Firenze thought otherwise, "Things are slowly changing for the better."

"I hope so... He's had a bad run lately, he could die."

Like his own voice, Ronan's personality was pessimistic, and he was used to interpreting astrology in the worst possible way.

"Excuse me... What are you talking about?"

Harry asked cautiously, what the hell was going on with these centaurs? how could they say they would die as soon as they met?

Although their recent luck isn't very good....

Harry suddenly felt a little apprehensive as he thought about everything bad that had happened to him lately.

"Don't mind them," Fish waved his hand nonchalantly, "Centaurs like to say some strange things, they say it's astrology.... but it doesn't work at all!"

(●`ω′●)

"Yes...," Ronan continued in his sad tone, "We can only see how things happen, we can't intervene, it's all meant to be."

Harry wanted to ask more, but was dragged away by the already impatient Fish.

"Come on nya! It doesn't make any sense for them to talk like this for a whole day. Let's hurry up and drink the broth Aunt Korra made, it tastes so good, nya!"

After eating mostly Chinese food for some time, Fish was planning a change for lunch today.

Fish was not a narrow-minded cat, he would take anything that tasted good!

"Aunt Korra! I'm here to be a guest nya."

(●φ﹃φ●)?

Fish dragged Harry and Ron over to the best cook in the whole tribe, a centaur woman.

Korra was a feminine-looking centaur, with long pale gray hair tied back with a straw rope that rested over her right shoulder, and a mane of the same gray color, only slightly darker than her hair.

Centaurs wore little clothing, the males were almost always naked and the females were limited to wrapping a piece of animal skin or linen around their chests, and Korra was no exception.

Fish had no sensitivity to such things, but Harry and Ron were different, when they saw Korra, they instantly blushed and lowered their heads and didn't dare look at her again.

"I know, I heard Brandvarden and the others yell from far away."

Korra gave a soft smile and handed the rough wooden bowl to Fish, who ran over to her, "Here, it's ready for you now, be careful, it's still a little warm."

She then looked at Harry and Ron next to Fish and pulled two new wooden bowls out of an earthenware pot, pouring the soup for them as she asked, "Are you Fish's friends from school? This is the first time he's brought anyone to the Forbidden Forest."

"It's because Minerva and Albus don't allow other students into the Forbidden Forest, otherwise Fish would have a lot of friends he'd like to introduce you to."

(〃｀3′〃)

Fish grumbled under his breath, blowing the broth into the bowl.

"Yes, you humans always have a lot of rules," Korra's voice was as warm and soft as her appearance as she handed the wooden bowl to Harry and Ron, smiling, "So, you two snuck in?"

"Well, um..."

The two, not daring to look at Korra, answered vaguely, picked up the wooden bowl and immediately put it in their mouths, trying to hide their shyness....

And then they burned.

"Hiss..."

Harry and Ron grimaced and stuck out their tongues, which made Fish and Korra laugh together.

"Don't worry, we've prepared plenty."

"Nyajajajaja! You look just like Fish when he first came for soup."

(●≧? ≦●)

Fish laughed out loud and cast a [rejuvenating] spell on both of their tongues.

But after this little interruption, Harry and Ron, who were still a bit shy, gradually returned to normal. Although they still didn't dare keep their eyes on Korra and other centaurs for long, they didn't always keep their heads down.

The three had lunch at the centaur tribe and played with the ponies for a while before taking Fluffy to say goodbye, Fish left plenty of snacks for Brandvarden before leaving.

After leaving the centaur tribe, Fish did not climb on top of Fluffy, but took Harry and Ron into the woods, crossed a small dirt slope and came to a bush.

Fish had not forgotten the main reason he had taken Harry and Ron into the Forbidden Forest.

"Chia! Ercolonius! I'm here to find you nya!"

He shouted towards a cave hidden in the bushes.

Accompanied by a whisper, two pythons a little thicker than the Golden Snitch emerged from the hole, looking at the lump in the middle of their bodies, it was obvious they had just eaten a short time ago.

One of the snakes hissed its tongue at Fish, while to Harry's ears, it waved.

"I know a friend, and he seems to be able to understand what you're saying nya, so I brought him here to take a look" Fish directly explained his purpose, pointed to Harry beside him and said to the two pythons in front of him.

Seeing the two pythons turn their heads towards him, Harry forced a smile and said, "Hello."

And the two pythons responded in kind.

After a few brief words, Harry looked at Fish and Ron, "Are you okay? Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that, Ron?" asked Harry suspiciously, seeing Ron looking at himself in shock.

Then, without waiting for Ron to respond, he heard Fish ask, "Harry, what was that 'hissing' you were saying?"
