He spent the entire day complaining to Ron about Professor Snape’s “abusive behavior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet under Professor Snape’s instruction, his Defense Against the Dark Arts had improved dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made his perception of the professor even stranger—he didn’t seem like an excellent instructor, yet in certain ways, he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge he imparted, though not as scientific, engaging, or logically structured as the Green Notes, was vastly broader and reached depths the Green Notes could never attain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because the professor was so busy, En found no opportunity to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One more thing—until now, Professor Snape seemed unaware of everything that had happened at the trapdoor; he had only spoken with Headmaster Dumbledore, and the headmaster appeared not to have mentioned the part involving the young wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the caretaker’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I can’t decide right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En lowered his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Green—your devotee is willing to wait a hundred years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred said with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En looked at the two of them without speaking. Only when Fred chuckled did they turn their attention to the doorknob of the caretaker’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange doorknob—can we replicate it, George?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fred tapped the doorknob; it shrieked and bit wildly, but Fred’s hand remained just beyond its reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En’s expression turned odd, and soon he heard Fred cry out in pain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who improved this thing again! My hand’s been bitten through…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, now you’ve got a hole in your hand—just one more…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, En suddenly realized the Weasleys hadn’t outwitted Mr. Filch in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky beyond the castle was clear—a perfect night for stargazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, he entered the depths of the Forbidden Forest; the dense canopy above blocked all light. En felt eyes watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His suspicion was quickly confirmed as Fang came running over, rubbing against his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Hagrid and Wuwu; Hagrid was feeding Wuwu, as he always did at this hour, giving the creature an extra meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the first male Thestral in the forest—it naturally received more care from its keeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En—looks like a good night!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Hagrid couldn’t understand those mysterious astronomical concepts, when a friend had good fortune, he delighted as if it were his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See you later, Hagrid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En nodded and took his leave of Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur instructor was already waiting in the grove, gazing at the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, young Centaurs ran about; the elders of their tribe had gathered here to teach their juniors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The clouds obscure the planets’ paths—wait patiently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firenze said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En fell silent and waited alongside the Centaur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From nearby came the noise of young Centaurs; Firenze spoke in a calm tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Centaurs never interfere with the paths of fate-stars. We believe all is destined. We have followed this rule for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foreseeing the future made us arrogant; we ceased to care for other life on this land. But one day, when all resisting life has vanished, the Centaur tribe will face great peril.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shone blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“En, in the celestial sectors not obscured by clouds, Jupiter shines brightly—our meeting is no accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are both solitary wanderers…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centaurs always spoke in mysterious, vague tones, as if their method of predicting fate-star omens demanded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En leaned against a large stone, gazing at the vast expanse of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, you will learn to judge planetary brightness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur instructor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, En understood why astrology was unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging planetary brightness was affected by countless factors: clouds, seasons, the brightness of other planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, relying solely on the naked eye to perceive planetary brightness was extremely inaccurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur instructor’s solution was:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rely on experience and intuition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En translated it: rely on talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You practiced Divination Magic at an apprentice level. Proficiency +1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his third successful attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had a slight talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe you’ve found the guidance of your fate-star.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firenze, observing En, nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they lit sage and lavender; as smoke rose, a wind swept through the Forbidden Forest, rustling the beech branches wildly and twisting the smoke into strange shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they waited again for the wind to cease, and the Centaur instructor told En that in different seasons, Centaurs chose different herbs to burn for different celestial sectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The material and condition of these herbs also affected the observation of fate-stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he burned the herbs and observed the stars, En suddenly wondered: could this also be a form of ritual magic? An ancient and profound one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his progress in Divination Magic was slow, whenever the moon was dim and the stars shone brightly, En always went to the Forbidden Forest to observe the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bane, an older Centaur, occasionally came to capture curious young Centaurs and would snort coldly at Firenze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firenze was not popular among the Centaurs—he was even ostracized. Though he sighed about it, he remained resolute in his choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, exam week arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was stiflingly hot; the exam hall was so hot it made wizards uncomfortable. Professors handed them new quills specially prepared for the exams, all enchanted with anti-cheating spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the exams seemed chaotic and overlapping, they could all be divided into two categories: theory and practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning came the first practical exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spellwork exam.\u003C\u002Fp>",1061,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","76d05be6768db132c8208bd859ce432b8a8327672975da352dd30aad4bc576e3","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-240","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-238",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
