The grounds of Hogwarts were covered in a light frost. Although it was a Saturday, the students of Hogwarts remained indoors because of the cold. Inside, it was bright and warm with lots of cheerful chatter about the upcoming Christmas break. The walls of Hogwarts murmured with carols and laughter and for all inside, the day couldn't get any better.
On the other side of the grounds of Hogwarts laid the Forbidden Forrest. It looked cold and gloomy compared to the cheerful castle. Deep inside the forest, a colony resided. They were a colony of misfits. They were shunned from normal life by wizards. Since they also possessed many human qualities like the abilities to think and talk, they weren't accepted into animal colonies either. The centaurs had no choice except to give in to a life of avoiding wizards whilst living amongst nature in the woods.
The centaurs had a very structured lifestyle. Centaurs must not like wizards and must not help them under any circumstance. They must stay out of sight of the wizards. They must place all of their trust in the stars. If any centaur dared to break this unwritten code of conduct, they would be forced to leave the colony.
For centuries and centuries, centaurs lived quietly in the woods outside of Hogwarts. They avoided wizards and in return, were avoided. Every centaur followed the rules and they rarely found it necessary to kick out a fellow centaur. Although sometimes a centaur would wish to not have to hide and to be accepted by wizards, no centaur ever spoke up. But when a blonde-haired centaur with bright blue eyes was born, life for the centaurs would soon change. His name was Firenze.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. More should be coming soon, I don't know exactly when though. Thanks for reading and please review!
