Chapter 114 The Invisible Thestrals!
Chapter 114 The Invisible Thestrals!
After bidding farewell to Roman, Charlie and Alice pulled their suitcases and walked into the station.
Entering Platform Nine and Three Quarters again, Alice and Charlie didn't have the novelty and surprise they had when they first came. Half a year of living in Hogwarts has allowed one person and one cat to adapt to the wizarding environment.
"Hi, Hermione!"
"Alice! Charlie!"
In the Hogwarts box, Hermione saw Alice and Charlie appearing at the door, and immediately got up and rushed up to give them a big hug.
"How was your vacation?"
Alice quickly put Charlie, who was about to be crushed by the two, on the seat beside her, and asked with a smile.
Hermione shrugged:
"It's pretty good, except that a lot of relatives came to the house on Christmas Day, and it was a bit noisy, but it was quiet at other times, allowing me to concentrate on reading!"
"Well, as expected of you!"
Alice had such an expression as expected.
Both Alice and Hermione's academic performance is good, but Hermione is an all-round academic master. Except for the slightly weaker flight class, she basically ranks first in all other subjects.
Alice, on the other hand, had grades lower than Hermione's in herbal medicine and potions. In other subjects, she was almost a bit behind. Of course, they were at least above average.
In fact, this is mainly due to the gap in thinking between the two.
Hermione reads and studies, in addition to wanting to prove herself, a bigger part of the reason is that she likes reading and learning, that is her hobby,
But Alice is different. Reading and studying are not her hobbies. The reason why she does that is to have a good job after graduation, earn more money, and let other people in the orphanage live a better life.
"Schoolmaster means that when a scumbag is studying, she is also studying, and when a scumbag is playing, she is still studying, and at the same time, her learning efficiency is even higher!"
Listening to the conversation between Alice and Hermione, Charlie couldn't help but shook his head, jumped off the seat, hooked the suitcase with his tail, pulled it to the corner of the carriage and set it up.
In the evening, Hogsmeade Station,
Alice hugged Charlie and got off the Hogwarts Express train together with Alice, then followed the senior wizards and walked to the carriage stop for Hogwarts Castle.
Going to Hogwarts Castle by boat, only once during the first year of enrollment,
It is said that it is a ceremony for freshmen to enroll. Four people sit in a small boat, which symbolizes the four founders of Hogwarts. The route traveled by the boat is also the route taken by the four founders when they discovered Hogwarts Castle.
The purpose of joining this inheritance ceremony when new students enroll is to remember the hardships of the four founders when they established the school and found the school site.
"These carriages don't need horses, they can move on their own, and I don't know what kind of spell is used?"
The first time she entered Hogwarts Castle in a carriage, Hermione became a little interested in the carriage that drove her forward automatically.
Alice hugged Charlie and thought:
"Hogwarts has too many magical spells. This may be a senior spell that we haven't learned!"
"Not really!"
Charlie looked up at the strange creature pulling the carriage ahead, and murmured in his heart.
He knew that these magical creatures pulling the carriage were called "Thestrals",
Thestrals are magical animals listed as one of the dangerous animals by the British Ministry of Magic. They have a dragon-like face and bat-like broad wings. They look like reptiles, and they are skinny and very scary.
And this magical animal has a characteristic, that is, only those who have witnessed death can see their appearance, which is why Alice and Hermione thought that the carriage drove automatically by magic.
Of course, Charlie can definitely see the Thestrals, because not only has he experienced death himself, but he also has many dead souls under his command.
Thestrals are very sensitive to the smell of blood and fresh meat. They like to eat raw meat, and they are not weak in aggressiveness. They are extremely difficult to tame.
Its tail hair is a special substance with powerful magic power, which can be used as the core of the wand, and the most powerful known wand, the Elder Wand, is made of the tail hair of thestrals.
Wild thestrals will attack all creatures that threaten him, but the thestrals in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are relatively more docile,
Because they were raised and domesticated by Hagrid.
To be honest, Hagrid is really very competent as a hunting ground. Many magical animals in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts are related to him.
Charlie actually had a plan to attack the Thestral tribe in the Forbidden Forest before his holiday. After all, since the Thestral is listed as a dangerous magical animal, its tail hair can also be used as a magic wand. After defeating it, the experience points must not be too small, at least not less than that of the acromantula.
However, relying on his powerful physical body and rich spells, he single-handedly dominated the acromantoid clan and the wolf clan, and he hit a wall in the Thestral tribe for the first time.
His spells are basically difficult to work on creatures like thestrals that symbolize death, because they have extremely powerful magic resistance,
Physical attacks can cause damage to them, but the key point is that Charlie didn't even have a chance to play.
Perhaps because too many lives died under his command, as long as he expressed hostility towards the Thestrals, the Thestrals, which are very sensitive to death, would immediately spread their wings and fly away.
And the speed of thestrals is a bit faster than the fastest flying broom "Rocket Crossbow".
Whether he chooses to ride an eagle, or the levitation spell + whirlwind spell, he has no hope of catching up.
Even now that he has the big iron sword, he doesn't intend to hunt thestrals, because the speed of the big iron sword can at most be comparable to Harry's "Nimulator 2000", and compared with the "Rocket Crossbow", there is still a big gap.
Even Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, is said to occasionally choose Thestral when he does not use Mirage for long-distance travel, which shows how fast it is.
When the carriage entered Hogwarts Castle, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
Just in time for dinner in the Great Hall,
So Alice hugged Charlie and Hermione, and instead of going back to the dormitory, she went directly to the auditorium.
With the influx of a group of back-to-school wizards, the auditorium, which was originally scattered and not very popular, instantly returned to its previous appearance.
And Charlie was also in the crowd, seeing Harry and Ron who were already sitting at the Gryffindor long table.
"What, you ran out of the dormitory for three consecutive nights and wandered around the school!"
Hermione couldn't help letting out a gasp as Harry recounted his own experience of the Christmas holidays, and then quickly covered her mouth.
It turns out that on Christmas Eve, Harry received a Christmas gift from a stranger, which is an invisibility cloak that can hide his body after being worn on his body!
It will be on the shelves this Friday, I hope you will support me a lot.
