It was a slight coup, being the first centaur to meet prophicied child Harry Potter — not that he let it show. Those who ventured into herd territory deserved his derision. Even if they were but foals, they should know their place. The half-giant Hagrid certainly did. That did not excuse the man from leading unprepared young into the forest.

Ronan was able to atone for his gruff introduction when it truly mattered.
