'Look there,' said Hagrid, 'see that stuff shinin' on the ground? 
Silvery stuff? That's unicorn blood.

page 184 Ronan sighed. 'Mars is bright tonight'
page 185  'Mars is bright tonight,' Ronan repeated.'Unusually bright'
page 185 Bane appears......'Mars is bright tonight,' he said simply.

In the Philosopher's Stone HRH are only 11 and as it's JKR's debut 
novel this  'Mars is bright tonight'
phrase may be more humorous than interpreted by Hagrid, and I am 
suggesting that maybe Harry misheard.

Perhaps the two centaurs had sat in some of the unicorn's blood.
Then the phrase should be 'My arse is bright tonight'

It is a pity that Ron missed this detention because I am sure he 
would not have let the opportunity to say 
'Uranus is bright tonight' go to waste.
