Hogwarts Scholar System

The Thestral was like an elf in the night, standing there quietly.He is a black winged horse. The Thestral's head is shaped like a dragon, but its body is the same as a horse.On its back is a pair of bat-like foldable wings, its eyes are silver-white with seemingly no pupils, and behind it is a long black tail.

Thestrals are very thin, with their shriveled skin almost sticking to their bones, revealing the outline of their skeletons.It wasn't that Hagrid mistreated them and didn't feed them enough, it was just that they had always been like this.

Because only those who have witnessed death can see the Thestral, many wizards regard it as an ominous symbol and are afraid to avoid the Thestral.Like the Acromantulas, the Thestrals at Hogwarts are the only group in the UK.

Sometimes it feels like Hogwarts is like a large magical animal protection base, and many ethnic groups in it have become the only ones in the British wizarding world and even Europe.

Many wizards regarded the Thestrals as a disaster, but Maple looked at the Thestrals' docile appearance after being tamed, and didn't think they were anything to be afraid of.

But you should also watch them when flying on them, because they like to devour birds, including the wizard's most important companion, the owl.

Maple stepped forward, wanting to touch the body of the Thestrals, but found that before he could reach them, many Thestrals suddenly turned around and looked at Maple.

Maple looked at the direction of their eyes, and then remembered that the core of her wand was made of their tail feathers.In Hogwarts, apart from his and Dumbledore's wands, no other wand has such a core.

Maple gave them a kind smile, and they looked away after taking one look at Maple.No expression could be seen in the Thestrals' pupil-less eyes, but Maple felt that they might have remembered her.No matter what the Thestrals' mood is, their eyes always give people the feeling of dead silence, which is probably one of the reasons why they are so unpopular.

After the carriage was filled with people, Ye Qi pulled the carriage and started to move forward, as if the carriage was driving on its own.

Maple walked to the front of an empty carriage, and the Thestral in this carriage also looked at Maple curiously.Maple touched the Thestral's head with his hand and scratched the mane on its neck. It did not refuse and meekly allowed Maple to stroke it.

"So good!" Maple said, putting her head on Thestral's head and nuzzling her affectionately.The Thestral is a very smart animal. It seemed to feel Maple's thoughts from Maple's movements and expressions, and responded by rubbing Maple's face affectionately, showing that it liked Maple's actions very much.

"That's great!" Maple said excitedly, and then said to Hermione and the others who were walking over: "You can also come over and touch its body, it is very well-behaved!"

Hermione and the others stepped forward, but all they saw was air and they didn't know where to start.Maple took Hermione's hand and placed it on Thestral's back.

It's such a strange feeling, not being able to see them but being able to feel their manes and skin.

"Would you like to try it too!" Maple put Harry and Ron's hands on the Thestral. After all, they were children at heart, and they touched the Thestral's body with curious eyes in their eyes.

"It seems to be angry!" Thestrals turned around and glared at Harry and the two of them. Maple immediately conveyed the Thestrals' meaning to them with a smile.

"Okay, get in the car quickly! Everyone else has left, and we are the only ones left!" Hermione said hurriedly as the other carriages drove away, leaving only their lone one.

Harry and Ron had no choice but to take their hands back and quickly board the carriage.

"Can we ride on your back?" Maple asked suddenly at this moment, and Hermione stopped immediately upon hearing this.

"It agreed!" Seeing the Thestral nod, Maple said happily, "Come, let's sit on its back."

"How should I ride on it?" Hermione murmured, looking at the air in front of her.

"Sorry, I forgot that you can't see it, let me help you!" Maple immediately stopped riding the Thestral and said apologetically.

"Flying around!" It was too troublesome to lift Hermione up, so Maple directly used the levitation spell to send Hermione onto the Thestral's back, and then Maple also rode on the Thestral and sat behind her.

Before riding the Thestral, Hermione knew that it would be novel and exciting to ride on it, but not so good after sitting on it.

Yes, she couldn't see the existence of Thestrals, it felt like she was riding on the air, and she couldn't see anything solid that she could hold on to, which made her feel uneasy.

This feeling finally got better after Maple sat behind her. Harry and Ron opened the door of the carriage and saw Maple and Hermione sitting on the air in a weird way. They also wanted to try it. , but was rejected by Maple.

"There's no room for it up here."

You've already driven a speeding car, it's only fair that we seek a little excitement.

"Let's go!" Maple stroked the Thestral's smooth, silky mane and said.

Seeing the Thestral spread its wings and wanted to fly, Maple quickly stopped: "Just pull the carriage normally, no need to fly!"

Hermione's body was pushed back by the Thestral's open wings, and she was immediately startled.Fortunately, Maple asked Yeqi to give up her thoughts, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the strange feeling of sitting on the air now, Hermione could imagine how uncomfortable it would be to fly on it.

There was a lot of distance between the carriages of other students before, so Maple lowered his head and asked the Thestral to speed up.

Ye Qi seemed very happy after hearing this and ran forward happily.Moving forward at several times the speed, they quickly caught up with the car in front.It was just that Maple and Hermione had no problem sitting on the Thestral's soft back, but Harry and Ron in the carriage suffered.

The violent jolts made Harry and Ron feel like their bodies might be thrown out at any time, making it impossible to ride in the car.Only standing in the carriage can make them feel better, and their hands have to hold on to the gaps in the carriage to maintain balance.

"Look there, they seem to be flying in the air. What's going on?"

"It's Maple, Hermione! How did they do it?"

After overtaking again and again, they were noticed by the students in front of them. Maple and Hermione attracted a lot of attention as they seemed to be sitting on the air. The students who saw this scene had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Maple has gained another large number of academic points.

Hearing the chatter about the carriage because of his passing, Maple felt very happy. Driving a speeding carriage was nothing, it was more exciting than sitting on an invisible Thestral.

At this moment, Maple suddenly felt that it would be better if Harry and Ron were not sitting in the carriage. It would be cooler to fly to the school on the Thestral!

Seeing that there was nothing underneath Maple and Hermione, but behind them was a carriage exactly like the one they were riding in. Many students immediately realized that this carriage was not magically driving automatically as they imagined. , but there is another mystery.

Looking at the way Maple and Hermione were riding in the air, other students finally thought that the carriage seemed to be pulled forward by an invisible beast that they could not see.It turned out that no magic was cast on the car, but was simply being pulled forward, but they couldn't see the creature pulling the car.

The Thestral moved forward quickly and soon arrived at the gate of Hogwarts. In front of it was a pair of majestic cast iron doors, with many stone pillars on both sides, and the tops were decorated with winged boars.After entering the gate, we drove through a long sloped driveway to the front of the castle.After many familiar turrets and towers slowly appeared in front of them, Yeqi finally stopped.

Maple quickly jumped off the Thestral in a cool gesture, and then helped Hermione get off the Thestral as well.

Harry and Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief, their disaster was finally over.Opening the car door, Hermione saw Harry and Ron inside, their faces pale, each slumped in a ball in a corner.At this time, Ron and Harry couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, they didn't eat much on the train, otherwise they would have vomited it out now.

Hermione glared at Maple angrily, then stretched out her hand to help Harry and Ron get out of the car slowly.

After Harry and Ron got out of the car, the Thestral's work was completed and they continued to pull the carriage forward in the darkness.While Hermione was taking care of Harry and Ron, Maple happily waved goodbye to the Thestrals as they left.

Soon other carriages arrived one after another. Maple and Hermione each supported one, waiting for the senior students to get off and leave first, and they followed suit.Walking through the huge oak door, we walked into the deep front hall, which was brightly lit by torches.Go upstairs along the magnificent marble staircase in the hall, enter the auditorium through the door on the right, find your college and grade seat and sit down.

This time, they no longer had the nervousness of being sorted into another house, and they were finally in the mood to appreciate the magically transparent ceiling.

Moreover, like old monkeys, they can sit in the auditorium and watch the new first-year students' ugly looks, no, postures, when they are sorted into different schools, and appreciate their nervous trembling like they did last year.

Isn't it just for this beautiful moment that the senior students don't tell the first-year students the truth about the sorting?

Sitting down-to-earth on their chairs, Harry and Ron finally felt at ease, and their expressions quickly recovered.

It's just that they were not in as good a mood as Maple to appreciate everything around them, because the Weasley twins and other Gryffindor lions came over one by one to say hello to Maple and admire his amazing scene just now.

However, Maple's appearance came at the expense of Harry and Ron's disaster and was based on their pain.Originally, they felt better because they came to the auditorium, but after seeing this scene, the two of them immediately felt bad again.
