Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 416 Yeqi

Until the Hogwarts Express stopped, Hermione had been holding the copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" without letting go. Even when the dining car passed by. There was even a fight in the aisle, but Hermione didn't look up. She seemed to be completely immersed in it.

The world in the book.

Harry wondered if Hermione was going to read the entire long book before the train stopped.

Of course, Hermione failed in the end. Before getting off the train, Hermione had to raise her head with red eyes and asked Luna Lovegood:

"This book is very interesting. Can I borrow it for a while?"

"What's the point of this?" Ron pursed his lips and said, "My mother often told me the story in this book when I was a child. We should still have this book in our family. If you like the story in this book, I will write it.

Ask mom to send you a letter—woo!”

Ron had just finished speaking, when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.

While Hermione was smiling, she quietly squeezed the soft flesh of Ron's waist with her hands.

"Okay?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, okay, okay." Luna glanced at Ron, then at Hermione, and then agreed lightly.

As they got off the bus, they met Draco Malfoy.

Harry and Ron learned that Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson had been elected as the prefects of Slytherin's fifth year when they went out to buy something on the train.

But to Harry, Ron, and Hermione's surprise, when they met Draco Malfoy on the Hogsmeade platform, Draco Malfoy did not provoke any provocation, and even ignored him.

They all ignored Harry and hurriedly passed by Harry and the others with expressions on their faces.

"This Malfoy must be harboring some bad ideas." Harry said to Hermione and Ron as they walked.

Ron nodded in agreement.

But Hermione ignored Harry and was flipping through "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" in her hand.

After walking out of the platform, they dragged heavy steps and merged into the crowd, feeling the stinging sensation of the night air on their faces.

They moved slowly towards the door, and Harry could smell the fragrance of the pine trees on both sides of the path leading to the lake.

What is different from previous years is that the person responsible for welcoming new students is not the tall Hagrid, but Professor McGonagall——

A crisp female voice was shouting: "First-year students, please come here and line up! All first-year students, follow me!"

Before Harry had time to ask Professor McGonagall for further questioning, he was carried forward by the crowd towards the foot of the mountain.

When Harry, Ron and Hermione walked out of the Hogsmeade platform, they came to the dark street washed by the rain.

There are about a hundred horseless carriages parked here, which carry students from first grade to the castle every year.

Harry glanced at them quickly, then looked back at them carefully.

The front of the carriage is no longer empty.

There were some animals standing between the poles, and if he had to give them a name, he thought he would call them horses, even though they looked a little like reptiles.

They have no flesh at all on their bodies, and their black fur sticks tightly to their skeletons. Every bone is clearly visible. Their heads are very much like dragon heads. Their eyes without pupils are white and stare intently. On the shoulder bones

Wings sprouted from the bulge in the middle——

The big, black leathery wings looked like they should belong to a giant bat.

These animals were motionless, standing quietly in the increasingly dense darkness, looking strange and ominous.

Harry really didn't understand why these terrible horses were used to pull these carriages when they could obviously move on their own.

"Um...Hermione...Hermione..." Harry shook Hermione, who was holding a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" beside her, "What's the name of the animal that pulls the cart?"

Hermione raised her head and glanced ahead, then looked at Harry strangely——

"What cart-pulling animal?" Hermione asked.

"There, those animals." Harry pointed to the black animals in front of the carriage, "It's those animals that look like horses."

"What kind of horse-like thing?" Hermione looked around strangely.

"It's the horse-like thing that pulls those carriages!" Harry said impatiently. They were only about two or three steps away from the nearest strange horse, which was staring at them with its blank white eyes. But Hermione

He gave Harry a confused look.

"What are you talking about?" Hermione also looked a little angry, as if Harry was playing tricks on her.

"I'm saying - look!" Harry gently grabbed Hermione's arm and turned her around, facing the strange horse with wings.

Hermione stared straight for a second, then turned to look at Harry:

"What did you ask me to see?"

"Look at that - there, between the shafts! The hitch to the carriage! Right in front of you -" But Hermione still looked confused.

Suddenly, Harry had a horrifying thought. Could it be that he was the only one who could see it?

"Don't worry, Harry Potter." At this time, Luna Lovegood also walked out of the platform. With her ethereal and somewhat wandering eyes, she stared at the location that Harry just pointed at and said, "Me too.

Can be seen."

"Really?" Harry asked eagerly, turning to look at Luna. He could see the horses with bat wings reflected in her big blue eyes.

"Oh, yes." Luna said, "I can see them since the first day I came here. They have been pulling the carriage. Don't worry, you are not crazy, your mind is as clear as mine."

She smiled faintly and got into the carriage. Harry's doubts were not completely dispelled, but he still got in.

Harry didn't want to tell others that he and Luna had the same hallucination——

If it was really an illusion, so after he sat down in the carriage, he never talked about the horses again. However, he couldn't help but stare at the silhouettes of the horses moving outside the window.

While they were waiting for the carriage to start, Luna, who was sitting next to Harry, seemed to be suddenly touched. She stuck her head out of the carriage window and looked back -

"What's wrong?" Harry couldn't help but asked curiously.

"No...it's nothing..." Luna shook her head and said, sitting back down again.

Soon, the carriage started to move swayingly.

After all the creaking carriages drove away, a figure gradually appeared in the dark night on the dark and muddy road.

"Luna's inspiration is really high..." Tiera, who appeared in the dark night, sighed, and then smiled softly, "Hey, Harry can see the Thestral..."

"That is to say, Harry did witness and understand Tiera's death..." Tiera continued, "It meets the experimental conditions of the Resurrection Stone experiment."
