Chapter 647 Lucius Malfoy
Chapter 647 Lucius Malfoy
In the evening, snowflakes suddenly began to appear in the sky that had been brewing for a week. By Monday morning, the ground was completely covered with snow.
During breakfast, Hagrid reappeared at the teacher's table, but the applause to welcome him was not enthusiastic. Especially at the Slytherin table, there was no sound at all, which was incompatible with the excited Gryffindor. A sharp contrast.
But even in Gryffindor, not everyone likes Hagrid. Some girls prefer Professor Grapeland's class.
Because Professor Grapeland doesn't always surprise him... or shock is more appropriate.
Turtles are much safer than Fire Crabs, and they are definitely something O.W.L. will have.
……
The sixth grade had a Care of Magical Creatures lesson this morning, and it was also the first time Hagrid taught them since he came back.
After the first spell lesson, Kyle and Connor walked through two feet of snow to the wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
After seeing Hagrid, almost everyone subconsciously took a breath.
The way he looks now is a bit too scary.
There were injuries on his face, his hair was untied and messy, and some feathers from unknown animals could be vaguely seen.
More importantly, Hagrid was carrying half a cow on his shoulders. Drops of blood fell on the ground, dyeing the snow red. The scene was indescribably weird.
"As expected, I still prefer Professor Graplan." There was a slight discussion among the crowd.
But Hagrid didn't seem to hear him.
"Come on, follow me. We are here for class today." Hagrid led them into the dense forest, but did not go deep into it. He stopped after about a minute.
"Are you ready?" Hagrid put the half cow down on the ground with a groan, and glanced at all the students happily, "Don't get too excited later. The animals we are going to learn today are very rare. I think I might be the first to win the prize." The only man in Britain to have tamed them...
"Oh, look, they're coming."
"What is it? Where is it?" The crowd started talking again.
From most views, it was clear that there was nothing in the woods, except for the bowtruckles on either side.
But they had learned about this kind of animal a long time ago, so it obviously couldn't be them.
"what!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly broke the silence.
A Ravenclaw girl was glaring, pointing forward in fear, "You...look..."
The classmates looked in the direction of her finger, and then more people screamed.
There, pieces of meat were automatically peeling off the bones and disappearing into the air, which was so weird that it made people feel chilled all over.
Many people subconsciously want to run away from the Forbidden Forest.
But a small group of people saw something else.
What they saw was a group of huge black horses with wings, lowering their heads and tearing at half a cow on the ground with their fangs.
And they are no strangers to this kind of animal. When school starts every year, they are the ones who pull the carriages to transport the students to the castle.
"Thestrals!" Hagrid said proudly, "Can anyone see them?"
Several hands were raised, probably six or seven people.
"A bit more than I thought." Hagrid said seriously, "Does anyone want to come up and touch them? This is a rare opportunity."
At this time, all the people who had raised their hands before lowered their hands. Whether they could see it or not, they all showed their complete rejection of touching Yeqi.
Kyle originally wanted to give Hagrid a face and help him out, but at this moment, he saw a person on the other side of the Forbidden Forest. In just a blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.
"Professor Hagrid." Kyle raised his hand.
"Well...I knew you..."
"Sorry, Professor Hagrid." Kyle interrupted, "I may have dropped something on the road. Can I go look for it?"
A hint of disappointment quickly appeared on Hagrid's face, but he nodded, "Okay, no problem."
"Thank you, Professor." Kyle said, then left the crowd and walked in the direction he came from.
When he turned around, he saw Umbridge walking towards this side holding the familiar writing pad.
She didn't ask Kyle what he was going to do, but just walked straight towards Hagrid.
That's fine, it saves you having to find reasons to explain.
<divclass="contentadv">Thinking of this, Kyle did not stop and continued walking forward. When he reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Kyle stopped in front of a huge pineapple tree.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps nearby.
"Long time no see. I'm so happy to see you at school." Kyle turned his head and smiled: "Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
Lucius Malfoy stood on the side, his face ashen, holding his snake staff tightly with both hands. If Kyle had not spoken just now, he might have done something.
"I would like to remind you, Mr. Lucius." Kyle continued, "This is Hogwarts. If I get a little injured, even if I have a scratch, you won't be able to get out of here."
"Dumbledore is not at school." Malfoy's voice was hoarse. "This threat is useless."
"You can give it a try." Kyle said with a smile, "And I don't understand why Dumbledore's absence at school makes you so happy? I thought you would be nervous."
Lucius picked up his snake staff again, but finally lowered it slowly.
"What on earth do you want to do!" he growled: "I don't believe you dare to attack Draco in Hogwarts. Dumbledore will not let you go."
"You just said that he was not in school." Kyle said, "Besides, I didn't do anything to Draco Malfoy... Oh, even though you wanted to arrest me to take credit for the night when your master was resurrected, But that’s all in the past, and I’ve forgiven you a long time ago.”
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Lucius said coldly.
Of course he knew what Kyle was talking about.
On the day Voldemort was resurrected, when Dumbledore sent Kyle and Harry down the mountain, he happened to run down the mountain in order to escape for his life.
He did think about taking Kyle and Harry away and asking Voldemort to take credit, but Kyle also wanted to kill him.
Even now, whenever Lucius thinks of the severed tree next to him at that time, he can't stop trembling all over.
Of course, this cannot be admitted.
"Don't try to slander me." He added.
"Okay, let's forget it." Kyle shrugged, "Then what are you worried about? Sorry, I still have to go to class."
Kyle raised his legs to leave.
"and many more!"
Lucius quickly took two steps forward and blocked the front, "Draco doesn't know anything."
"I said, I won't do anything to him." Kyle explained patiently: "We are good friends. I just went to visit him a few days ago. You also saw that I peeled him off." It’s a chocolate frog.
"We get along very well."
This was not a perfunctory remark to Lucius. Although he was not a moral model like Professor Dumbledore, he would not take his anger out on Draco either.
If he really wanted to do this, he could do it right after school started, there was no need to wait until now.
"You swear..." Lucius stopped Kyle again, "No, we have to make an unbreakable oath... I promise you won't..."
"Unbreakable Vow?" Kyle narrowed his eyes, "Are you going a little too far, Mr. Lucius, or do you think I am the kind of good guy with no bottom line?"
Subconsciously, Lucius pulled out his wand from the snake staff.
Kyle still didn't move, and just said as a reminder: "You have to think clearly, do you really want to do this? This is the Forbidden Forest..."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Lucius vaguely heard a dull growl.
The next second, he felt tense all over, as if he was being targeted by something terrible. As long as he made the slightest move, the other party would pounce on him.
Lucius trusted his instincts, which had saved him many times over the past few decades.
For the first time, he took a serious look at the sixth-year Hogwarts student, and saw a very familiar feeling in him, much like a person, a person who would be frightened just by hearing his name.
But to some extent, they were completely different. At least his first impression of Kyle was definitely not fear.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about taking credit for Kyle's arrest when he was at the bottom of the mountain.
Why do monsters like this always appear in Hogwarts... Lucius felt very complicated.
But he didn't have time to think about this now. The roar was getting clearer and clearer, and Lucius could even smell a faint sweet smell.
In an instant, Lucius made an immediate decision. He slowly turned the wand, loosened his grip, and threw it to the ground.
The low roar disappeared, and he could feel the faint smell of grass in the air again in the Forbidden Forest, but the sense of threat did not disappear.
