Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After learning the news of Hagrid's return, Harry and the three immediately put on the invisibility cloak and sneaked out of the castle. Nydia was not so excited about this, but of course she was very happy that Hagrid could return safely. , but Hagrid's return meant that the Forbidden Forest was guarded again. If she wanted to sneak in, she would have to be more careful.

"How's it going? Have you prepared lessons for Hagrid?" Nydia asked Hermione and Michelle who had just walked into the lounge.

After Hermione came back from Hagrid last night, she had the idea to help Hagrid prepare lessons, because if Hagrid was allowed to choose the magical animals to teach in class according to his own preferences, it would be difficult for him to pass Umri Qi's investigation, and Michelle immediately chose to join after hearing Hermione's idea. They all didn't want Hagrid to finally come back only to be deprived of the position of professor by that old woman Umbridge.

"We have tried our best!" Hermione said with some frustration. "I gave him a list of many magical animals that are suitable to bring to class, but he didn't seem to care. He kept saying that he had been prepared for it."

"We waited for him at the door for at least half an hour before he slowly walked out of the forbidden forest," Michelle said. "I really don't know what he's hiding there!"

"Hagrid went to the Forbidden Forest?" Nydia asked nervously. She was worried that if Hagrid frequently went in and out of the Forbidden Forest, she would not be able to enter. However, her worried look made others think she was I'm afraid that Hagrid will bring out some dangerous magical animals from the Forbidden Forest!

"Yes, he went to the Forbidden Forest," Michelle said with excitement. "Actually, I'm quite curious about what interesting magical creatures he hid in there. Why couldn't he take me to see it in advance... ..."

"Ahem!" Hermione coughed warningly at Michelle, because her interested look would only make Hagrid think that there was no problem with the magical creatures he chose.

"Oh... no matter what kind of interesting magical animal it is, as long as it is dangerous, it should not be brought to the classroom! We have to dissuade Hagrid!" Michelle immediately changed her words and said, "I remember it all! Next! If Hagrid mentions Chimaira again, I will never show interest again, I promise!”

"Chimera!" Nydia said in surprise. This time she was really worried that Hagrid would bring some magical animals to class. "Didn't you tell him clearly about Umbridge's situation? ?”

"I tried talking to him!" Hermione said helplessly, "but he didn't take what I said seriously at all!"

Everyone was sweating when they went to the Care of Magical Creatures class on Tuesday, not knowing what would appear in front of them later! I don’t know how Umbridge will embarrass Hagrid later!

But when they arrived at the class location, all they saw was Hagrid and half a dead cow on his shoulders. There were no magical animals or Umbridge.

"What happened to his face? Did he fight with someone?" The scars on Hagrid's face attracted everyone's attention, and Draco asked Nydia in a low voice.

"I don't know. He has been reluctant to say it. Harry and the others have asked him several times." Nydia replied. She wondered in her heart whether these wounds were left by giants because they looked really uncomfortable. Like a spell left behind.

"We have class here today!" Hagrid greeted everyone happily, then he looked at the Forbidden Forest behind him and continued, "The light in the forest is a bit dark, but they like darkness..."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's mood sank again, and they didn't dare to imagine what kind of dark-loving animal they were about to see!

"I specially reserved this for you fifth graders!" Hagrid seemed not to notice that everyone's expressions were not good at all, and continued to talk to himself, "This kind of animal is very rare, I think I may be the only The only man in Britain who has tamed them!"

Hagrid said this with great pride, but the people listening below felt completely different!

"Are you sure they have been tamed?" Draco said with a frown. His question spoke to the minds of most people!

"Of course it's tamed!" Hagrid was very unhappy with Draco's questioning. He lifted the half-cow on his shoulder, then turned around and strode towards the Forbidden Forest!

Everyone was reluctant to follow, and finally Harry took the lead and followed, and then the others followed suit. They walked along for about ten minutes, and the light in the forest was getting darker and darker. Finally, they stopped in a clearing, and Hagrid also threw the cow on his shoulder to the ground!

"Everyone, gather together! The smell of meat will attract them." Hagrid said loudly, and everyone gathered together immediately, but this was not because of obedience, but because they were afraid.

After waiting for about a minute, Nidia vaguely saw a creature approaching them in the woods in front. When she saw the appearance of the creature clearly, she unconsciously hugged Draco's arm tightly. !

Draco noticed something strange about Nidia. He looked along Nidia's line of sight, but there was nothing. He was a little confused, but soon he realized that maybe it was because he couldn't see the creature!

"It's the Thestral, right?" Draco asked Nydia in a low voice.

Nydia nodded. Thestrals always made her feel uncomfortable.

"Now...who has seen them?" Hagrid asked everyone.

Most people were confused by Hagrid's words because they hadn't seen anything yet. Only a few people raised their hands. Nydia was one of them. She looked around. Harry could see that she knew. Yes, Neville could see it too, and there was a Slytherin student.

"I don't understand! What do you want us to see?" Pansy glanced around impatiently. She saw nothing. Originally she didn't care whether she could see it, but when she saw Nidia actually raised her hand, I felt unconvinced in my heart.

Hagrid did not answer directly, but pointed at the half cow on the ground and asked them to take a closer look. After a while, a piece of meat from the half cow disappeared out of thin air in front of their eyes, and there was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Exclamation!

"What is it? Is there something eating it?" Parvati was so frightened that she backed away until she reached a tree in the back. Then she felt that she felt that she felt unsafe being too far away from the crowd, so she ran back to the crowd. middle.

"It's the Thestrals!" Hagrid said very proudly, "There is a large group of Thestrals in Hogwarts. I trained them to be..."

"But they are very unlucky and will bring disaster!" Parvati interrupted Hagrid, and she became even more panicked after knowing what they were!

"No, no, no! Those are all superstitions!" Hagrid hurriedly explained, "They won't cause any disaster. They are very smart and useful. At Hogwarts, they are mainly responsible for pulling the school's carriage! If you want If you are traveling far away and don’t want to use Apparition, you can choose it. Thestrals are not only fast, but they also have a great sense of direction. You don’t need to worry about getting lost at all!”

"But why can't we see them, but a few of them can?" A Slytherin student asked in confusion!

"That's because only those who have witnessed death can see them!" Hermione replied aloud.

Hermione's answer made many people who were still envious of Nydia and the others for being able to see it, now began to feel grateful that they could no longer see it.

"That's right! Ten points for Gryffindor!" Hagrid clapped his hands, "Thestral..."

Hagrid was about to continue introducing the Thestral to everyone when a cough interrupted his words.

Umbridge is here!
