A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 527: Thestral

Felix canceled the magic, the air shook again, and Harry felt the whole world come alive. Although it was very real before, and he couldn't see the 'weakness' that Sirius said at all, but he could really feel the difference between the two.

Sounds of rustling, unknown howling in the distance, whimpering wind, rustling leaves, inaudible breathing...

"It's still a lot worse." Felix thought silently. It's enough to deal with some magical animals, but it's not enough to fool wizards, especially keen wizards. But no matter what, he first inherited the memory magic from Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. After a long evolution, he finally walked out of the path that suits him best.

Hagrid leaned in front of Glop, his size was dwarfed by the real giant - he was about the same height as Glop sitting on the ground, and Glop could only be regarded as the dwarf of the giants Tall, normal giants are between twenty and twenty-five feet tall.

"Little Gramp?" said Hagrid.

"Ha~ge~er!" Gropp glared at him with a more friendly tone, at least he didn't shake his fist as soon as he came up.

"I thought he wanted to say the word 'hunger,'" said Ron.

Sirius put his hand on his shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Don't spoil the scenery, look, what a touching scene, isn't it?"

Glop slowly stretched out a big hand—the onlookers were sweating for Hagrid—but the hand stopped before it touched him, and there was something hidden in Gropp's ugly face. Worried, what if I touch this little dwarf again?

Hagrid happily grabbed one of Gropp's fingers, and said dotingly in the tone he used to deal with magical animals: "It's okay, little Gropp, you just need some teaching, you don't know how much you have." Strength, isn't it?"

Harry suddenly thought of the Dursleys. Could it be that Glop will become a big Dudley in the future? Thinking of the scene where the giant was freed from the ropes and ran through the Forbidden Forest with his big sled-like feet, followed by Hagrid, he shuddered suddenly.

Glop gave a low growl, then mumbled, "Glop! Hagel!".

Hagrid was overjoyed, he took Gropp's finger, turned to everyone and said, "Little Gropp, these are my friends. This is Harry, Ron, Hermione—" He stopped , looking at Hermione apologetically, "Do you mind if he calls you Hermi? Your name is too difficult for him to remember."

"No, not at all," said Hermione sharply.

Sirius sneered, which drew a blank stare, but he soon stopped laughing.

"This is Sirius - oh, er, how about simplifying it to Siri?" said Hagrid, looking at Sirius questioningly, and Sirius agreed with a straight face. So they turned around, and everyone found that they all had new names—except for Harry and Ron, whose names themselves were very simple.

In Hagrid's mouth, Felix became Felix, Hermione became Hermi, and Sirius became Siri.

"Hermi, do you hear me? He-m--" Hagrid said to Gropp syllable by syllable, "And the two bigger ones are Phil and Siri, you You can tell the difference, can't you?"

The duo, dubbed Fili and Siri, shrugged. Harry and Ron listened to Hagrid repeating the wrong pronunciation over and over again, and they all looked like they wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.

It seems that I don't need his help. Felix thought that Dumbledore was worried that Hagrid would be killed by his violent giant brother, but now at least he had a good start. After a long time, they walked back from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"I'm going to move nearby and live with Glop temporarily for a while. I have to find food for him and talk to him." Hagrid said. "If you want me, you can do it through the owl, and don't come to the Forbidden Forest without permission," he said to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Stop, Hagrid," said Felix, looking into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone stopped. With the help of the soft white light hanging from overhead, they looked over the branches and bushes, and Sirius sniffed and warned, "Something is coming." Then they heard the sound of snapping branches and strange footsteps.

A gigantic bowstring emerged from the green shadows, pushing aside the leaves that stood in its way. "It's me, Hagrid." said a man with a naked upper body, he was naturally connected to the horse's body from the waist, and finally Firenze's complete body emerged from the shadows, his silver mane bathed in soft white light , hooves rattled.

"Why are you here?" said Hagrid warily.

"I heard movement." Firenze said in a low voice, "What happened, Hagrid?"

"It has nothing to do with you, this is not the territory of the centaur." Hagrid replied bluntly.

"But I live in the Forbidden Forest." Firenze said, and the next second he turned around suddenly, pointing the bow and arrow in his hand into the deep darkness, "Who is there?" His hoof scratched the ground.

The branches swayed for a while, and a dragon-like face poked its head out from the other side. Its white shiny eyes looked at them timidly, as if wondering why everyone got together so late. It stood on the edge of the intersection of black and white, and the leather-like black wings covered by the bushes could be vaguely seen.

"So it's thestrals." Hagrid said with a sigh of relief.

"Oh, how could I have forgotten you," Felix said softly, gazing at the magical creature.

Hermione looked at him suspiciously.

"Fascinating creature, isn't it? Some can't see it, and some...you can see it?" Felix stared at her suddenly.

"Oh, yes," whispered Hermione quickly, "actually—the three of us—" She stopped, but the meaning was obvious. Harry and Ron were staring at the Thestrals equally.

Sirius stared: "Harry, you didn't mention this."

"It's only been two days since school started, and I didn't get a chance to be alone with you." Harry muttered softly.

"I didn't see it before, I mean the first day of school," said Ron, "but I figured out something these two days... it just appeared in front of my eyes." Harry and Hermione He glanced at each other behind him, and they also remembered the scene that happened in the carriage when school started——

On September 1, the carriage creaked and wobbled on the road.

"Can you all see it?" In the carriage, Ron almost choked on his saliva, he stared blankly at Harry and Hermione, "It's not like you guys teamed up to trick me?"

"The reason why you can't see it can only mean one thing, your barren brain hasn't worked at all during the whole summer vacation." Hermione said sharply to Ron.

"Anything to say?" Harry asked. He knew about Thestrals, but only halfway.

"Seeing death, accepting death, and maybe adding some feelings... It's hard to say." Hermione said distractedly.

"What do you think of Crouch's death?" Harry understood Hermione's meaning, and he turned to Ron.

"How else can you look at it, he deserved what he deserved," said Ron, his eyebrows furrowed suddenly, "you don't feel sorry for him, do you?"

"Of course not," Harry said immediately, "Have you ever worried about your future situation? Have you ever thought that... your family or yourself may be killed in the war?" His voice became Getting lighter, this is the question he's been thinking about lately, why didn't his parents flee the country, but stay and fight the Death Eaters?

Ron looked anxiously left at Harry and right at Hermione.

"Isn't there Dumbledore and Professor Haipu here, they will arrange everything..."

Hermione gave Harry a meaningful look, which Harry knew meant, "Look. He's not thinking about it at all."

…

Sirius patted Harry and Ron on the shoulders, muttering something that no one could hear clearly.

On the other side, Hagrid lifted his guard. He stepped forward to touch the Thestral's bony body, and finally patted its head: "Let's go, there's nothing exciting to watch. There's nothing to eat, that's me. nosebleed."

The centaur Firenze also retreated and disappeared~IndoMTL.com~Before he left, he warned Hagrid: "The old people in the tribe are very dissatisfied, if you continue to find those dangerous creatures from all over the world—"

After this episode, Felix, Sirius, Harry, Ron and Hermione say goodbye to Hagrid in front of Hagrid's cabin and return to the castle. The three of Harry sat in the corner of the living room in a daze for a long time before they could barely digest the fact that Hagrid had hidden a giant in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hagrid won't be able to hide it for long. The centaurs have a strong sense of territory. They will think that Glop has invaded their territory." Hermione said worriedly.

Harry said nothing. Isn't this an obvious thing to do? He could only hope that things were going well with Hagrid's educational plans, or that Grop's brain wasn't as dull as it looked.

At the same time.

Felix returned to the ancient rune office, looked at the direction of the Forbidden Forest through the window sill, "Death." The voice was inaudible, and he was curious what the world looked like in the eyes of thestrals.

If he's lucky, he'll find out soon.
