Chapter 73 Ron's Scream

In the dark night, ghostly carriages moved without wind, heading for the towering Hogwarts Castle in the distance.

Not far away, the boats on the lake were particularly eerie under the reflection of the lanterns on the boats.

Not to mention the black forest, and the faint howling of wolves from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

All of this made the second-year freshmen who were not used to the scenery outside the carriage dare only look at their classmates in the same box, talking about gossip about the new semester, trying to relax.

However, at this moment, a high-pitched scream came from around them.

This scream was like a torch falling into a pile of grain, and then, screams continued to sound from the convoy.

What happened!

It's a werewolf! The werewolf in the Forbidden Forest came out!

It's a ghost! The ghosts of the Shrieking Shack ran out!

However, a few words completely different from these pictures rang out in the crowd.

Hey, Lee Jordan! Guess what I think the first sound is like?

I know! Our little brother's scream when he saw his doll turned into a spider!

Yes, that's him!

That's right, there's a faint smell of mold and straw in the carriage

It's normal to have a spider!

.

The playful conversation, which was enhanced by the loud voice or amplification spell, attracted everyone's attention.

The screams gradually died down.

With a sudden "Well done, Fred, George!", the whole team returned to calm.

Damn Percy!

I can tell it's him!

Fred and George don't mention my name! Ron's face was almost as red as his hair.

Under Ron's uncontrollable muttering curses, Harry had to take advantage of Ryan's spell and kept looking at the Thestrals without saying anything.

Ryan and Hermione did the same.

They all knew that they had to give Ron some private time now.

They had to look forward, in front of them was a pair of magnificent cast iron gates, with many stone pillars on both sides, and winged wild boars at the front.

After entering the iron gate, there is a long sloping driveway. The Thestrals also increased their speed, as if they had already realized that they were almost at their destination.

As expected, many corner towers and turrets gradually approached them. They had arrived at Hogwarts!

That was Ron Weasley! The one who just screamed!

Isn't he the nemesis of magical creature poachers! One of the three musketeers who defeated You-Know-Who? Why is he afraid of spiders!

I think it must be the credit of Harry Potter. I wish I was Harry's friend!

.

After getting off the bus, the students around looked in Ron's direction, pointing and whispering.

For the first time, Ron hated his fiery red hair so much. It was so eye-catching.

Ron, are you okay? Draco and his friends walked around the road and the crowd that passed through the stone steps into the castle and walked towards Ron and his friends.

Nothing? I just saw the damn Thestrals!

They are really a disaster!

Look! I'm done for this semester! Ron looked depressed.

What are you looking at! Ron yelled at a black-haired witch from Ravenclaw. Her face was completely unclear in the night.

But Ron still noticed the thing on her chest with his sharp eyes. Supporters of the Tuthill Tornadoes. Humph, they were not famous before.

Another guy who follows the trend and catches the wave!

Many people only pay attention to them after the team starts winning! Ron pointed to the Tornado badge on the girl's chest and said. He is completely different. He is a member of the Chudley Cannons.

Her name is Qiu Zhang. She is a student one year older than us.

She has been supporting the Tornadoes since she was six years old! Hermione suddenly said that she had talked to Qiu Zhang in the lounge.

Qiu Zhang promoted the Tornadoes to her.

And at that time, the Tornadoes were not famous yet.

As for her, I remember that Captain Johnny once said that she was a good seeker, if it weren't for me. Harry was thoughtful.

She was just looking at Harry.

As a future member of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, look at the captain. Ryan added.

Good, good! It's all my fault! Ron muttered.

Seeing that nothing happened, Draco was pulled away by Pansy, and Crabbe and Goyle followed Draco like door gods and disappeared.

And Qiu Zhang disappeared in the crowd.

Ryan and the others also joined the crowd walking up the stone steps, walked through the huge oak door, and entered the deep vestibule.

The vestibule was brightly lit by torches, and there was a magnificent marble staircase leading upstairs. The door on the right leading to the Great Hall was open, and Ryan and the others followed the crowd to the hall.

Ron, are you all right? The students suddenly screamed, and I rushed over. The prefects used paper cranes to inform that it was nothing serious? It was Lupin!

Nothing, I just saw the Thestrals. Ron said weakly.

Thestrals? What's wrong with you? By the way, I remember that your uncle Bilius died. Lupin misunderstood something.

And Ron was in no mood to explain that he had not seen his uncle die with his own eyes.

So they continued to follow the crowd to the Great Hall and sat at the Ravenclaw table.

What happened just now?

Was it really Ron?

Was it a spider?

I think Fred and George are joking. Neville and other roommates said.

Dean at the Gryffindor table, Seamus turned around, and Ravendra grew ears.

I just saw the Thestrals!

Do you understand the Thestrals?

Full of fangs, dragon's head, dead white pupils, skin and bones, black skin.

They pulled our carriage. Ron couldn't help saying.

I saw it too.

They can only see me as my grandfather after seeing dead people. Neville said tremblingly, Ron's description of the Thestrals seemed to bring back his horrible memories.

I know! They are very, very unlucky! Lavender Brown suddenly made the same scream as Ron just now.

She is a witch who is as keen on various superstitions as Ron and is proficient in them.

It's no wonder that in the original world, Lavender pursued Ron madly.

That's not the case, it's just superstition, there's nothing unlucky, they are very smart and useful.

You know, my relative Tina Goldstein is the lover of the master of magical creatures Newt Scadman! Anthony, who hasn't shown off this for a long time, suddenly said.

Maybe because of his relatives, he knows a lot about magical biology, and he has already read through "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt.

Even if they weren't unlucky, they weren't good things!

Look! My reputation is ruined because of seeing them! Ron slumped over the table in dejection.

He felt that this semester was over.
