Chapter 118
Chapter 119 Yeqi
Hannah jumped ahead and led everyone. Her lively and cute appearance attracted the attention of many people, and Avis and the others also sold a lot of prank props.
In a certain box, they also found Harry and Ron.
Harry was sitting with Draco, chatting animatedly. Opposite them, two brothers, Ron and Ginny, stared at Draco with resentful expressions.
Neville wanted to go in and say hello, but was stopped by Avis.
He didn’t want to destroy Harry’s Shura field!
After walking around in the train, the four of them returned to the compartment where they started.
The box on the Hogwarts Express is quite large and can accommodate nine little wizards. Everyone looked at the scenery and listened to the jokes of the Weasley brothers.
It wasn’t until late at night that the train finally arrived at Hogsmeade Station, and everyone separated and returned to their respective compartments to change into their school uniforms and robes.
After Ives got off the car, he found that it was raining again. Although it was not heavy, it made the cold air in the mountains and forests much stronger. Even the platform was covered with a layer of ice.
“First-year students are here!”A familiar voice sounded – it was Hagrid.
He held a pink umbrella and strode towards the panicked first-year students.
Luna stood at the car door, raised her head and glanced at the deep sky , the drizzle continued. Then she didn’t care about the raindrops falling on her body, and ran out briskly.
Within two steps, she was caught back by Hermione with quick eyes and hands.
Luna’s big eyes were full of doubts, and she seemed to be very confused. Wonder why Hermione stopped her
“What should I do if I catch a cold?”Hermione’s tone was like that of an old woman.
Ives took out his wand, waved it gently, and conjured an umbrella into Luna’s hand. She kept watching Luna holding the umbrella obediently before Hermione let her go.
Hai Among the freshmen in front of Ge, only a few were holding umbrellas, and most of the young wizards did not bring umbrellas in their luggage.
“What should the freshmen do if they catch a cold because they were caught in the rain?”Hermione said worriedly. She and Ivis were holding the same umbrella, and the two were walking towards a path on the other side of the station.
Starting from the second year, the little wizards no longer need to cross the lake to go to Hogwarts Castle.
“This is a headache for Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey,” Ivis shrugged.
Taking two more steps deeper into the path, they saw at least a hundred carriages waiting for them. These carriages were not Large, each carriage can accommodate four students, and there is a bell hanging on the front of the carriage. What is strange is that there is no horse pulling the carriage in front of the carriage.
Hermione looked at these carriages curiously:”There is something pulling the carriage.” ?”
She just saw four students getting into the carriage, and then the carriage began to move slowly, as if there was an invisible horse in front of the carriage.
“They are thestrals,” Ives explained,”a magical creature that can only be seen by those who have seen death.”
The two of them randomly found a carriage and got on it, and Neville and Hannah also came over.
After the door was closed, the carriage began to move.
The carriage pulled by the Thestral swayed along the muddy road. As soon as she sat down, Hermione asked Ives about the Thestral.
Aviskop said:”Thestral is a breed of Pegasus. According to the illustrations and descriptions in”Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, it looks like a reptile, skinny, with a dragon-like face and broad bat-like wings. For centuries, it has been regarded a
s an unlucky symbol because it looks scary and can only be seen by those who have witnessed death.……”
The clear voice of the young man echoed on the carriage. The carriage passed through a brilliant and exquisite iron gate – the stone pillars on both sides of the door were topped with winged golden pigs. After that, there was a flat road, and the carriage stretched towards the castle at an angle. speeding up on the road.
They could finally see the towers of Hogwarts Castle.
The carriage shook for the last time and then stopped, and four people got out of the carriage one after another.
It was late when we arrived at the castle, the rain had stopped and the moon was still hidden behind the dark clouds. In the sky that is not obscured by dark clouds, stars are shining faintly.
The path leading to the castle was dark, with only a few streetlights guiding the way.
After getting off the car, the four people did not walk away immediately, but stopped where they were.
After Avis’s popular science, they all became very interested in Thestrals – except for Neville. Although he hid it well, Avis still saw panic in his eyes.
Hannah, a young girl with vitality, walked directly around the front of the car and reached out to touch the Thestral which she couldn’t see.
Fortunately, the Thestrals at Hogwarts were all domesticated and had docile personalities, otherwise Ives had no doubt that Hannah would get kicked.
Hermione was also eager to test it out, wanting to verify Elvis’s words for herself.
Neville looked on with some fear, as if he would run away immediately if something went wrong.
There was one thing that Neville didn’t say. In fact, he could see the Thestral. He had witnessed his grandfather’s death.
From his perspective, Yeqi’s appearance was indeed a bit scary. But soon, Hannah took his hand and placed it on Yeqi’s head, which was the position Hannah had determined when she touched it just now.
The panic on Neville’s face became more serious, but he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Hannah, so he boldly put his hand on the Thestral’s head and touched it.
The Thestral who was touched by them turned his head and looked at him with a pair of white eyes without pupils, and suddenly stretched out his long tongue and licked the palm of Neville’s hand.
Neville hurriedly hid behind Hannah, and Hannah teased:”Neville, you are too timid.”
Neville’s cheeks turned red immediately, and even his earlobes were red. He didn’t show any emotion at all now. do not want to talk.
Afterwards, Hermione and Ives also went up and tried to make contact, which gave them a wonderful experience.
There was obviously nothing in front of them, but they touched a thin layer of something that looked like leather. Under the leather were hard bones, which were very hard.
Especially when Avis came into contact with Yeqi, he took the initiative to rub his palm. Apparently, magical animal affinity still works even when faced with a creature that most wizards consider unlucky.
“Okay, I’m done touching, it’s time for us to go.”Avis reminded.
The crowd had all gone, and only the four of them were left here.
The four of them hurriedly walked towards the castle, and finally caught up with the large army.
They walked into the auditorium and sat down on Ravenclaw. At the headmaster’s table, Ivis looked towards the guest of honor seat. Lockhart was sitting in the seat where Quirrell had sat last year. He was smiling broadly, deliberately showing his teeth and posing with Snape next to him. But
Snape was in no mood to pay attention to him. He stared at the Gryffindor table with a gloomy face, as if thinking about how to deduct points from Harry this semester.
