Chapter 72 Thestral

After getting off the train, what is the means of transportation to Hogwarts?

From Harry Potter's perspective, it was a boat in the first year, he was not sure in the second year (he and Ron went to Hogwarts by flying car), Harry thought it was an invisible carriage in the third and fourth years, and Harry knew it was a Thestral after the fifth year.

Harry is not an ignorant wizard, especially with Ron, who has a wide range of crooked knowledge, and Hermione, who is knowledgeable.

But even so, after Harry had the Care of Magical Creatures class in the third year and Hagrid as a friend, he still didn't know about the Thestrals.

This is actually because of one thing. The Thestrals are considered unlucky creatures in the wizarding world. Wizards believe that they will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see them.

Even Hagrid didn't dare to talk about it in class at first.

Although Hagrid likes powerful animals, he also understands that there are some magical creatures that he shouldn't talk about when he just became a professor of Care of Magical Creatures.

The hippogriff's overturn was only because Hagrid didn't expect that someone would dare to deliberately provoke him when he clearly said that this creature was proud and that it would be dangerous if they didn't do what he asked.

Therefore, in the original world line, Hagrid's predecessor Kettleburn never talked about it, and Hagrid only started to introduce the creature of the Thestrals in class five years after Harry's death.

And the Thestrals have a characteristic that they are invisible to people who have not seen death.

And this kind of death is to see the death of intelligent life, and fully accept it and understand it.

In the original world line, Harry didn't see the Thestrals immediately after witnessing Cedric's death. He saw them after it took him a while to fully accept what happened.

Just like this, it can actually understand why the Thestrals have not been discovered when pulling a carriage.

After all, no teacher has ever told them that its shape is invisible to most immature young wizards (who don't understand death).

For the little wizard who saw it, the Thestrals had a creepy appearance, were large and skinny, had a head that looked like a dragon, had a pair of white eyes without pupils, and a pair of big bat wings.

In addition, in the wizarding world, hearing voices that others could not hear and seeing things that others could not see were not a good sign.

Now, even the little wizard who saw it would not tell of its existence.

Originally, Luna's rejection in the world line was probably related to it. Luna liked to go to the kitchen to get some bloody raw meat to feed them.

In the eyes of the little wizard who could not see the existence of the Thestrals, a little witch was covered in blood, passing the flesh and blood of an unknown creature into the air, and the flesh and blood were constantly disappearing.

This was already considered a horror movie.

And Luna's eyes were very prominent, and they were a rare silver-white color.

So, seeing the Thestrals was not a good thing.

It was not superstition, but its appearance, plus the rejection of others.

So, Ryan, who had already gotten off the carriage, hesitated for a moment when Hermione asked what pulled the carriage, considering whether to introduce it to Hermione directly or use his own means to let Hermione see it.

Ryan, these carriages obviously have nothing to pull, why do they have to set up Xuanyuan (two straight woods in front of the carriage to drive livestock)? Seeing Ryan stunned for a moment, Hermione thought he didn't understand what she meant, and then she talked to Ryan in detail.

At this moment, Ryan and his friends had already sat in the carriage, Hermione, Ryan, and Harry and Ron. Draco and Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy got on one.

Yes, what are those? Invisible horses?

And, Ryan, Hermione, long time no see!

Thank you for your gift! Harry also came closer and asked curiously.

After leaving Ryan for a summer vacation, he had many magic questions that he wanted to consult Ryan.

Ryan and Hermione exchanged a few words with Harry and also said hello to Harry and Ron.

In my opinion, this may be an alchemical item!

Dumbledore is a great alchemist who can work with Nicolas Flamel!

You don't know, Dumbledore also came to Harry's birthday this time! ... He also gave Harry a magical deluminator... Harry also invented a spell through him! Ron looked proud, as if he was the one who received Dumbledore's gift and celebrated his birthday.

But Ryan can also understand, after all, Ron is stupid in some aspects. He doesn't know that the magic trap he broke into last semester is actually very simple, and this time he and Harry broke into the place where Voldemort hid the most precious things.

It's normal for Ron to be arrogant.

But Harry didn't know that Ryan knew everything. When Ron was bragging, he couldn't help winking at Ron.

This made Ron mistakenly think that Harry wanted him to say more.

Yes! This is not an outsider!

Hermione is my friend, Ryan is my roommate, not to mention that I have shared everything about the Philosopher's Stone last school year with them! Ron suddenly realized in his heart.

So he continued to talk about his, Harry's, and Draco's summer vacation. If he hadn't been so careful, he would have even told them about Regulus.

Okay, Ron, why don't we listen to Ryan's thoughts? I think he knows what this carriage is about.

You know, Ryan and Hermione were the first last year. Harry couldn't help but say.

He didn't know that Ron was so careful, so he could only interrupt him in a hurry to prevent Regulus's affairs from being leaked.

Ron smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. He felt that Harry was giving others more glory and destroying his own prestige.

Although Ryan and Hermione were not outsiders, they were also their friends.

But this trend should not be allowed to continue!

What if Harry was always so modest and caused their deserved reputation to be damaged?

You know, last school year, when Ron boasted about himself and Harry saving the Philosopher's Stone, Harry said a lot of such things.

But Ron still shut up. Although fame and boasting about himself and Harry were important, the relationship between Harry and him, and between Ryan and Hermione and him was also very important.

Harry was right. Ryan kept it a secret.

Ron was immediately happy and was not frustrated at all because he guessed wrong.

In his heart, there was no difference between Harry and him guessing right.

Harry did not speak, but stretched his neck to hear the following words clearly.

That was a night thestral, a creature that could see death and accept it. Ryan said, and he drew out his wand and waved it.

Thestrals! This creature will bring disaster! I dare say he is a little worse than ominous! Ron said in shock, and then the next second, he and Harry stared with wide eyes and couldn't speak.

In front of them, in the middle of Xuanyuan, a strange horse appeared in front of them.

There was no meat on the horse, and the black fur was tightly attached to the skeleton, and every bone was clearly visible.
