Connor's Hogwarts

Connor was convinced that he couldn't see the Thestrals when school started. He had never witnessed death with his own eyes. He didn't even know how he traveled through time in the first place, nor did he know if he died.

But now he did vaguely see the Thestral in front of him. Why do I say it was vague? Because it was looming, just like the magic spell that the wizard couldn't control.

This Thestral is as described in the book, as skinny as wood, with seemingly no piece of meat on its body, with the head of a dragon and the body of a horse, with a pair of bat-like wings on its back, right? wing! ?

Connor noticed that there were several holes in the Thestral's wings, and dark blood flowed from the wounds. The Thestral seemed to be injured?

Then Connor saw the dragon head of the Yeqi clearly. The emotion he could see from those pupil-less eyes was not hostility, but more like...pleading?

"Connor Connor! I heard it again, this time there were a lot of hoofbeats!" Li's panicked voice came over.

"You don't need to say it, we all heard it! Come here, come closer to me!" Connor did not look at the Yeqi in front of him anymore, and asked the four people to surround him. Their current situation seemed a bit bad, they were surrounded. .

The sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and they saw silhouettes surrounding them, as if they were observing Connor and the others.

After a while, they walked out of the forest, and after seeing their appearance clearly, Connor and the others realized that they were surrounded by a group of centaurs.

"A group of centaurs? Why are they surrounding us? Or is this some kind of special welcome ceremony?" Fred raised his wand. There was no fear in his voice, but a trace of excitement.

"Be careful and protect yourself. These centaurs don't look easy to mess with." Connor put away the map, raised his wand, and looked serious.

At this time, a horse man came forward. He had messy red hair and a beard. He was naked on his upper body and only carried a quiver. From the waist down, he had the body of a horse. He looked very strong and full of energy. Feeling powerful, he looked at a few hooded imps and said in a statement:

"You are students of Hogwarts. You should not be here. The Forbidden Forest is not a place for children like you."

At this time, another horseman also came forward. His hair was black and he looked more violent: "Go back to your school! Now! Get out of here!"

Several people clenched their wands nervously. Connor looked at the quivers on their bodies, then at the wounds of the Thestrals beside them, and said, "Are you hunting this Thestrals? I don't think Hagrid knows. this matter."

The arrogance of the centaurs on the opposite side froze, and the black centaur said in a bad tone: "This Thestral is from outside and is not the property of your school. You have no right to interfere with our behavior."

"We won't just believe your words. Let's do this. We can ask Hagrid to testify now. Is that okay?" Connor raised his wand as if to emit a magic signal.

"You!" The black horse man stepped forward, looking very angry. If Hagrid knew about it, how could he allow them to hunt Thestrals with his big-hearted and brainless character?

"Bain! Venus is shining." The red horse people said suddenly.

Then the black horse man also raised his head to look at the starry sky, and murmured: "Venus is shining."

After that, these centaurs all looked up to gaze at the stars and murmured to themselves, then turned their horses' heads and left like this. It really went as quickly as they came...

Connor and the others still held their wands high and did not react for a moment.

"Well, they just left like this?" Fred looked confused.

"What does Venus mean by shining?" Roger looked up at the starry sky and said, "Has this been taught in our astronomy class?"

"I think it's amazing that we can find where Venus is," Lee said.

Connor couldn't figure out what these centaurs were thinking, but it saved him a lot of effort. Connor turned to look at the Thestral to one side. It seemed a little weak.

"Okay, let's forget about those centaurs. The situation of this Thestral doesn't look good. I think we need to find Hagrid," Connor said.

"Hey, so, Connor, where is the Yeqi you mentioned? We can't see it." George said, looking around.

Connor pointed in the direction of the Thestral and said, "It's right here. Forget it, just follow me. This Thestral looks very humane."

"Oh my god, you guys actually ran to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night! Do you know this is very dangerous? You are so audacious!"

Next to Hagrid's hut, Hagrid was tinkering with strange herbs while muttering to himself.

"Hey, Hagrid, you won't tell on us, right? We are good friends, and we fought with those centaurs for hundreds of rounds before we rescued this Thestral." Fred was talking about the truth. He wanted to point at the Thestral, but he couldn't see where the Thestral was, so he had to put his finger down.

"Never again! If I know you sneaked into the Forbidden Forest again next time, I will definitely tell Dumbledore!" Hagrid said in a rough voice:

"And those centaurs! How could they treat this cute pony like this?"

"." Connor looked at the Thestral's skeletal appearance and couldn't see how cute it was: "So, Hagrid, is it true that you didn't raise this Thestral?"

"Indeed it's not. This is probably a little Thestral that ran out from the depths of the dark forest and got lost. It's still a child, and it was treated like this by those centaurs. But don't worry, I will place it in the Thestral group in the future. , it will like life here.”

Hagrid applied the herbs he tinkered with to the Thestral's wounds, then took some bandages and said to Connor: "Connor, you can see this kid, right? Come over and help."

"So Hagrid, do you know why I can see it? Doesn't it mean that only people who have seen death can see the Thestrals? Obviously when school started, I couldn't see the Thestrals pulling the carriage." Connor helped. asked.

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe you can ask Dumbledore?" Hagrid replied naively.

"Okay." Connor knew that his question was in vain.

"But those centaurs have been a bit weird lately." Hagrid rummaged through his pockets, as if he was looking for something: "They have been patrolling much more frequently recently, and they are chattering about it every day. Oh, hell, it's for diazepam." It’s over.”

"Really? Did it just start recently? I thought centaurs were all so talkative." George stuck out his tongue and said.

Hagrid ran into his little room and rummaged for something: "You are right, it is best not to talk to centaurs at night. They will look up at the stars after saying a few words. There is always a need from them. If you don't give a straightforward answer, the way you talk can scare people to death."

Hagrid took out a seed, walked to the open space next to it, dug a hole and buried the seed. Then he took out his little pink umbrella and shot it into the mud: "Engorgement Charm" growth)”

I saw a weed-like grass growing out of the ground visibly to the naked eye, and then it was pulled out by Hagrid. Hagrid took the pulled grass, fed it to the Thestrals, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, so it can sleep well tonight, and it will probably be better tomorrow."

As a result, Hagrid noticed a few kids looking at him with strange expressions, and then he realized that something was wrong.

"Hagrid, is your wand hidden in your umbrella?" Fred pointed out bluntly.

"Children, I think we are good friends, aren't we? You won't tell this matter, right?" A flattering smile appeared on Hagrid's bearded face.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached a consensus.
