Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Is she okay?"

Luna whispered to Louis on the stairs leading to the dungeon.

After convincing Astoria, the two sent her back to the Slytherin common room.

Since there were no classes for the third-year students in Slytherin in the afternoon, she also had no appetite for school meals, so returning to the common room in the dungeon became the only option.

"My mood has stabilized a lot, thank you Luna."

Louis' words revealed gratitude. Luna Lovegood was truly an optimistic little angel, infecting everyone around her in every possible way.

"Astoria is my friend. Friends should help each other, right?" The little angel happily put his hands behind his back and jumped in front of him.

With long silver-white hair floating in the air, the word "friend" is a luxury for Luna, but she is different from Astoria. No matter how unfair the world is to her, she faces it with an optimistic attitude.

In the auditorium, students were already sitting together. It was lunch time, and the huge auditorium was full of people coming and going.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Louis, who had just come in from outside, caught a glimpse of Harry and the others putting their little heads together.

"It's Alastor Moody." Ron's tone was full of excitement, "You don't know, Louis, he is so handsome!"

"Handsome? You mean the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Luna, who followed Louis, looked at Ron with a puzzled look on her face, as if to say, you may have some misunderstanding of the word handsome.

"Oh, I think what he did was a bit radical." Hermione said worriedly from the side, "He shouldn't have done that."

"He's an Auror, Hermione."

"Aurors? Aurors can turn students into guinea pigs to punish students? Even though that's Malfoy." Hermione scolded Ron.

"If Professor McGonagall hadn't arrived in time..."

After listening to some of their conversations, Louis roughly understood the situation. It turned out that the Malfoys and Harry had a quarrel before. However, the wrong people began to greet each other about their families. Of course, Zaan's behavior would naturally attract

After various fights, Malfoy sneak-attacked Harry but was caught by Moody who happened to be passing by.

Without saying a word, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher cast a transformation spell on Master Ma to create a white rat, and then forced him to perform various actions as punishment.

The incident got so big that it was not calmed down until Professor McGonagall arrived. Malfoy even brought out Lucius to threaten Moody, but Moody choked him back.

"He can come and give it a try, if he doesn't mind going to Azkaban himself."

"I'm kind of looking forward to taking his class." Ron said cheerfully, "Harry, when is our next Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson?"

"It seems, next Tuesday..." Harry's mouth was filled with pieces of meat.

"Oh my God." Ron looked a little disappointed. He had never wanted to learn as much as he does now.

"His classes are great, super great." Luna interrupted, "My dad said that Alastor Moody is the most powerful Auror in the history of the Ministry of Magic."

"Yeah, everyone says that..."

"But you have to know that the Aurors are part of the Rottooth conspiracy," Luna continued. "They want to use dark magic and gum disease to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within."

Moody's approach won him a lot of reputation in the other three houses except Slytherin, including his Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Even Fred and George were full of praise for him, and they and their good brother Li Jordan were boasting about his Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After dinner, the third-year Gryffindor students had their first Care of Magical Creatures lesson with the Ravenclaw students.

Seemingly taking advantage of last year's losses, Hagrid no longer required students to order "The Monster Book" as the textbook for the Magical Creatures class this time, but replaced it with a more satisfactory version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

For this book, Louis was actually more interested in its author, Newt Scamander. Although they had a very brief exchange of letters last year, he only had a partial understanding of Newt's legendary experiences in his youth.

"He's a terrible professor." The Ravenclaw student standing next to Louis muttered, "A student was injured in his class last year."

"Hippogriff, this class won't be like this, right?" the two Ravenclaw girls said hesitantly, with some fear in their tone.

Ginny on the side naturally heard it. She rolled her eyes at them and said nothing more.

"Oh, hey, come here, everyone, I'll prepare some good things for you in today's class." The half-blood giant Hagrid waved to them at the door of the outdoor hut. His hut was close to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, so it gave the magical animals a unique opportunity.

Excellent geographical environment.

The two college students followed Hagrid cautiously, and soon he stopped in front of a forest in front of the Forbidden Forest.

"If we want to understand magical animals, we must first observe them closely. We need to know their habits, personality and periodic movements, so that we can get along well with them."

The students listened blankly, wondering what Hagrid was up to.

"Okay, now, can anyone tell me what these are?" Hagrid pointed to the large clearing in the forest, but there was nothing there except a bunch of towering pine trees.

"Professor Hagrid, this is nothing." One of the Ravenclaw girls said weakly, and her words attracted unanimous agreement from the students.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Hagrid untied the piece of raw meat from his waist and threw it into the open space aside. The next frightening scene appeared, the piece of meat was disappearing bit by bit out of thin air.

"Oh, my God." Ginny was a little surprised, "What is that?"

"This should be the Thestral, Professor Hagrid." Luna, who was standing in front of the team, tilted her head and looked at Hagrid.

"Exactly." Hagrid applauded, "The Thestral is a flying horse creature. It's normal that you can't see it, because only people who have seen death can see the Thestral, so in the concept of wizards, it

It is an unlucky symbol, but this idea is wrong."

In fact, it is not only wizards who have seen death who can see it, Lewis can also see the Thestral. People who have seen death have a sense of their own souls, which is the fundamental reason why they can see the Thestral.

"Excellent, five points to Ravenclaw, I guess."

There is no doubt that this pegasus with black fur all over its body looks a bit scary, and no one would find it cute even in its juvenile form.

"I said that the best way to understand magical animals is to get in close contact with them, so next, who is willing to touch those cute little guys?"
