The...er...centaur, centaur was a safe noun right there so the centaur.....was a bit grumpy looking in truth and it wasn't necessarily a scowl or a twitch of the face but his features in general so Blaise didn't think he'd ask.
Nah. He'd leave that where it was.
What he WOULD do was answer the question, so his little hand shot up in the air. "Centaurs are classified as beasts by choice because they prefer not to be classified with vampires and hags. I don't think I blame you, I'd wanna be classified with sphinxes and nundus instead too." Those things were fierce! Wizards hardly had any cool people in THEIR category.
" Serpens resonates strongly with you," the centaur nodded at the boy. Quote:

He had never seen a centaur before except for in his textbooks and he couldn't help but stare at the creature in both admiration and unease.
Huh? what? He had missed what he had said earlier. Something about orion being bright and respect. Shaking his head to focus himself, the Gryffindor raised his hand. "Uhm..well, they are good at magical healing?" he said. "Sorry to ask...but..how do we call you?" sir? professor? professor centaur? horsey? " Exceptionally," he corrected. " You may call me Thereos."
Professor felt too permanent. Quote:

The stars of Orion... righto then. What did Orion have to do with it?
He could understand the whole respect thing, and that this WASN'T a CoMC class, but what he couldn't comprehend, was what he knew about Centaurs. What he knew was limited, VERY limited. BUT.... ironically enough, and perhaps obviously too, was the whole Orion thing. Hand raised he added his two knuts. "You practice astronomy." Mmhm. Orion and all. " Mars is bright tonight," he replied, raising his hands towards the sky and flexing his strong arms. Quote:

All things creatures was something he was NOT going to miss.
...................
Aha! There was the centaur Professor!
Orion was bright? Er, if the Professor said so. But in reference to his kind, Adi already knew centaurs were immensely proud and required no kind of care from humans. And he already did respect them.
"Centaurs have human intelligence.'' Yes, his hand was up. Human intelligence. Thereos laughed at this notion and thumped his front legs against the ground.
" The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
Hence how these intelligent humans had found themselves in the situation they had last term. Their human intelligence based speech had put them there.
Turning his head a more skyward, his gaze fell upon the professors as he spoke directly to them.
" It would do well to not teach the future of your race in such a narrow perspective." Quote:

The only time she made a move was to raise her hand waiting her turn to give her answer. "Centaurs usually live in groups of about ten to fifty." That can be one very large group all living out in the forest together. Hady knew a bit more about them but she wanted to give others a chance to say something as well. " Neptune and Pluto are in conjunction with your words," he nodded. Quote:

"Centaur live for ages I think." Angel wasn't sure about that but she thought that she would guess that as an answer, now she was going to wait to see what the Professor thought. " We centaurs do not live as the waters of Aquarius flow, but do have life energies that surpass those of humans." Quote:

How cool was that?
HEHEHE.
Once the centaur came, the young lioness couldn't help but widened her eyes. She was in awe. That's a real centaur and they really looked like half human-half horse. And when he asked them what they knew about centaur, she raised her hand and tried to answer. "My brother said that you are good in practicing divination." Yup, Teddy told her that. " I did not ask what your brother said," Thereos replied. His dark eyes bore into the small frame of the girl. " But your answer is as Venus passes through Aquarius." Quote:

The thought hadn't even crossed Rooney's mind, but he couldn't speak for his fellow students. What he could do, was watch Olly and Miss Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn diligently out of the corner of his eyes. Miss Charlotte and her boyfriend. What was it about that Slytherin boy? He annoyed Rooney to no end with his inability to look further than his nose, but Miss Charlotte clearly thought the sun shined out of every snakey orifice. He shuddered at the thought before raising his hand.
"They are a very proud species, and chose to themselves to be called "beasts" instead of "beings", right?
Had Miss Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn noticed him yet? " Capella shines brightly with you," he applauded the boy. Quote:

Curiously watching Thereos, she listened to everything he had to say. She wasn't staring - because that would be rude - she just was fascinated by Centaurs. She knew a few things about them as well, for instance that they refused to be listed in the same category as Hags and Vampires - a fact that Blaise shared.
Raising her hand she offered an answer. "They are knowledgeable in magical healing." Soooo if she accidentally shot herself in the foot with an arrow, Thereos would be able to heal her, right? " We are as gifted in the art as the sun is bright." Quote:

Besides, he was excited for whatever they were going to do with that. Oliver opened his mouth to agree with Charlotte when they were joined by Blaise. He grinned at the addition of another friend.
MORE CENTAURS? Olly certainly hoped so. He peered into the forest, trying to spot something - anything - between the trees. And finally, there came a centaur. One centaur. More would have been cooler but even just one was awesome. Olly staaared. Cool.
Right. Question answering. People had already mentioned most of the things he knew about centaurs, but he didn't want to stay silent. So Olly raised his hand and said the first thing that popped into his mind. "You're fast." Faster than humans. Since they were half horse and all. " Swift as the coursing river." Quote:

...and mildly flailing.
"You're all very majestic...and..." Rea was kinda breathless, so...she tried swallowing to make her voice work properly. Gosh, she was just so excited. She was practically flushed from head to toe. "You don't typically interfere in the everyday business of witches and wizards."
Welp, she was in awe. Excuse her. " Libra resonates strongly with you, and rightly so being neighbors to your Virgo," he said wisely.
Thereos unfolded his arms and took several proud steps closer to the stones of which the humans sat upon.
" This young woman has raised an illuminating topic," he continued, his eyes shining like new growth on the boughs of the trees, free of moss, bright, and enchantingly youthful. " Your kind and mine have a history like Jupiter in Capricorn when Mars is in conjunction. Tell me, what do you know of centauromachy?"
