Parents of Hogwarts

Thestrals are a species of Pegasus that resemble a reptile, skinny as a stick, with a dragon-like face and broad bat-like wings.

After Karan finished describing these characteristics that he had barely observed, Steve couldn't help but become a little excited, and his whole little face turned red with excitement.

"Thestrals are actually Thestrals"

He lowered his trembling voice and said: "Finally I met a magical animal, and it was a Thestral that I have never raised at home."

Then, while Callan continued to observe silently, Steve became chatty.

"Those carriages in the school refer to the way to enter the castle after the second grade. They are pulled by the Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid is the owner of these Thestrals, and he is also the only one in the UK who has domesticated a large number of Thestrals. people."

"But I always feel that this is because Thestrals are too rare. Otherwise, my father would definitely be able to successfully achieve this level, and maybe even I can."

Karan didn't have too much doubt about this. With the talent of being able to communicate with magical animals, it was not unusual for Steve to do anything, but it was easy.

There was an unusual light in Steve's eyes, and he continued to think: "Thestrals are carnivores and are attracted to the smell of blood, but the two of us don't have to worry about being discovered because of this now."

"In addition, Thestrals are assessed as xxxx-level dangerous creatures, but domesticated Thestrals are very safe, loyal and gentle. At least they will not attack students like us, as long as we do not deliberately provoke them."

"In fact, I suspect that the reason why thestrals are so dangerous is mostly because of their bad reputation: only those who have witnessed death with their own eyes and fully accept and understand it can see thestrals..."

When he said this, Steve's voice suddenly became quieter.

He looked at Hagrid who was beating the air in his eyes, and then looked at Karan cautiously.

"Does the Yeqi have any other characteristics?" Karan asked calmly, not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

"It flies very fast, faster than any flying broom. Moreover, the Thestral also has an extraordinary sense of smell and a strong sense of direction, just like an owl."

Steve whispered, including what has been definitely confirmed and what is still being speculated.But his eyes were still looking at Karan.

Karan turned to look at Steve's curious and afraid-to-ask expression, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile slightly.

"I am an orphan."

Steve froze.

He and Gaspard had never known Callan's roommate's life experience. They only regarded him as a gifted Muggle-born, and of course they had never thought about it.

"Hug...sorry." Steve said at a loss. He looked extremely flustered.

"It's nothing, there's no need to be sorry."

Karan smiled indifferently.

But after seeing Karan's relieved smile, Steve felt even more guilty.

He shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.The atmosphere became silent for a moment.

At the same time, Hagrid patted the tall Thestral led by it a few times before placing it back.

"It's called Wuwu. It's the first Thestral born in the forest, and it's also my favorite."

Hagrid introduced it to Ted and Andromeda who looked confused.

"Oh, I forgot, you can't see it."

He waved and led the two of them through the other side of the forest.

"Let's go. It seems that the Thestrals are still not among the restless animals. This is good news."

Karan and Steve continued to silently follow the three people in front of them. When passing by the area where the Thestrals lived, the Thestrals, known as Wu Wu, suddenly raised their heads and looked towards them, with their white eyes without pupils. Especially obvious in the dark night.

Karan and Steve suddenly froze.

"It shouldn't be able to see us, right?" Karan whispered suspiciously.

"I don't remember that the Thestrals have the ability to see through the invisibility cloak." Steve's tone was a little uncertain: "Maybe it's because their sense of smell is very developed."

He said and sniffed twice, and Karan asked: "Is there any special smell?"

Steve immediately looked at him with a strange look: "What are you asking me for? I'm not a Thestral."

But then his expression turned a little apologetic again, and his expression changed so quickly that Karan didn't even see it clearly.

"Hug...I'm sorry." His tone was extremely guilty.

Karan rolled his eyes helplessly, and he pushed Steve hard: "I told you it was nothing."

"Let's go quickly, we won't be able to keep up if it's too late."

The two of them walked forward cautiously. During this period, Wuwu's head kept changing direction as they moved, obviously noticing something strange.This made both of them feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, after walking a little further, the line of sight between the two parties was completely blocked by the dense oak forest.

Karan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still asked Steve: "It shouldn't continue to chase after it?"

"It shouldn't be."

Steve's tone became a little more confident, and he pointed around the two people. There was a bright silver light everywhere, which was the light of the moon.

"Thestrals like to live in dark places, and they prefer dark forests compared to here."

In fact, this was indeed the case. During the rest of the journey, not a single Thestral took the initiative to catch up.

Hagrid and the other three continued to go deeper into the Forbidden Forest. The woods inside gradually became more lush, with tree stumps and vine branches everywhere. This forced Karan and Steve to carefully slow down to avoid being scratched by the invisibility cloak. .

After walking past a moss-covered tree stump, Karan faintly heard the sound of gurgling water. Apparently, there was a stream somewhere nearby.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Hagrid suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the two of them. He raised the giant crossbow with a vigilant expression and pointed it at a vague black shadow in front of him.

"Who is there, come out quickly?"

The thing walked slowly past in response. Above the waist, it was a human with red hair and beard, but below the waist it was a brown-red shiny horse body, with a long red tail trailing behind it.

Steve grabbed Karan's arm excitedly and whispered: "It's a centaur."

"Oh, it's you, Ronan."

Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief: "How are you doing in the Forbidden Forest recently?"

He stepped forward and shook hands with Ronan, while Ronan nodded to Ted and Andromeda.

"Good evening, Hagrid."

Ronan said, his voice low and sad: "Do you want to hurt me?"

"Sorry, I have to be more vigilant." Hagrid put down the giant crossbow: "The atmosphere in the Forbidden Forest is a bit weird. Do you know anything?"

Ronan didn't reply. He looked at Ted and Andromeda with inquiring eyes.

"Hello, Ronan."

Ted adhered to the etiquette required when dealing with centaurs, and his attitude was not as casual as Hagrid's.

He said with some helplessness: "Andromeda and I may rarely come to the Forbidden Forest again in the future. Our love affair was discovered."

Ronan nodded silently, and Hagrid became a little impatient: "I asked, did you find anything wrong near our home?"

"Ugh."

Ronan sighed. He raised his head and stared at the sky.

"Mars is bright tonight."

Karan, who was hidden under the invisibility cloak, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing these words.

In the divination of the centaurs, Mars means war.
