HP Approaches the Magic World

"Because, you may not have noticed that you and Hermione are covered in blood,"

Ginny said calmly,

"And we know that Hagrid used raw meat to attract the Thestrals. This is probably the reason why the two of them appeared in the first place..."

At this moment, Harry felt his robe being gently pulled. He looked down and saw the nearest Thestral licking his sleeve. The sleeve was already soaked with Grawp's blood.

Almost.

"Excellent," he said, and a good idea suddenly came to his mind. "Ron and I will ride on these two horses and go first. Hermione will stay with you three. She can attract more people at night."

Qi——”

"I don't want to stay behind!" Hermione said anxiously.

"I don't care anymore," Luna said with a smile, "Look, there are more Thestrals coming over there, and the smell on you two is really strong."

Harry turned around and saw at least six or seven Thestrals walking cautiously through the woods. Their huge, leathery wings were tightly folded at their sides, and their eyes flickered slightly in the darkness.

...He has no excuse now.

"Well," he said angrily, "then pick one and ride on it."

Harry put one hand into the mane of the Thestral closest to him, grabbed it firmly, put one foot on the nearby tree stump, and climbed awkwardly onto its soft and smooth back.

Although it didn't resist, it turned its head, bared its fangs, and eagerly wanted to continue licking his robe.

Harry found that he could sit more securely by placing his knees under the wing joints, and then looked around at the others.

Neville hunched over, lying on the back of the other Thestral, trying hard to cross one short leg to the other side.

Luna had already sat sideways and was adjusting her robe, as if she would ride the Thestral every day.

But Ron, Hermione and Ginny still stood motionless, with their mouths open and their eyes open.

"What's wrong?" Harry said.

"How are we going to ride up there?" Ron murmured, "We can't see them."

"Oh, easy." Luna said enthusiastically sliding off the Thestral and striding towards Ron, Hermione and Ginny, "Come here."

She pulled them to the Thestrals standing around, and helped them ride on the Thestrals' backs one by one.

Before walking back to her mount, she held their hands to hold the horse's mane, and told them to hold on tightly.

All three of them looked extremely nervous.

"This is unbelievable," Ron muttered, carefully stroking the horse's neck back and forth with his free hand.

"Incredible...if I could see it—"

"You'd better never see it."

Harry said gloomily, "So, is everyone ready?"

The others nodded, and Harry saw five pairs of knees stretched tightly under their robes.

"Okay," he glanced down at the Thestral's smooth black head and swallowed nervously. "Then, London, Ministry of Magic, guest entrance."

He said uncertainly, "Well...if you knew...how to go..."

The thestral stood motionless for a moment;

Then he suddenly spread his wings, and the movement was so big that he almost threw Harry off;

It squatted down slowly at first, and then rushed toward the sky like an arrow. The speed was so fast and the angle was so steep that Harry had to hug its body tightly with his hands and feet to prevent it from slipping off its bony tail.

They rushed through the treetops and flew towards the fiery sunset. He closed his eyes tightly and pressed his cheek against the smooth and silky mane of the Thestral.

…

"Our kids are really brave, aren't they?"

Behind them, in the shadows of the forest, Dumbledore and Lockhart emerged.

The fact that they met these children here tonight was an accident.

Because Dumbledore has been preparing for something recently. He is planning to find Horcruxes. Lockhart has been with him. While helping Dumbledore with his work, he is also taking care of Dumbledore's existence.

.

After all these years of hard work, Dumbledore is indeed a bit old.

"But we should be over now. According to the feedback from the magic network, they should have received wrong information. It should be that the phantom Jon planted in his soul has worked."

"Not only the phantom, Voldemort also exerted some power. The combined power of the two of them can reach the level of a legendary wizard. Under such circumstances, they can naturally completely ignore the protective measures. I don't think it's okay.

not good."

Dumbledore sighed: "But the work here is over for tonight. I originally planned to cultivate the violet grass tonight, but now it seems that there is no point in doing so."

"Actually, you don't have to look for it yourself. Didn't Jon tell you the location of the Horcrux? You can just go and get it."

Lockhart tried to persuade him, but it obviously had no effect.

"I still have to look for it. If I don't do these things myself, it will affect my mental attitude, and when the desire comes back, it will also cause some trouble."

But Dumbledore obviously didn't pay much attention to this matter tonight. As Lockhart said, he could still find the Horcrux even without these auxiliary tools, because Jon had already found the location of the Horcrux.

Told him.

I don't know how Jon knew this, but it doesn't matter.

In this world, everyone has their secrets.

"Let's go and take a look, otherwise something will go wrong. By the way, you send a signal to me and I'll give the Order of the Phoenix a signal. There's going to be a big battle tonight.

Don’t be absent, everyone.”

…

Harry never thought he could fly so fast.

The Thestral flew rapidly over the castle, its broad wings waving powerfully;

The cool air hit Harry's face;

He squinted his eyes against the strong wind and turned around to see his five companions flying after him. In order to avoid his wake, they all bent down as much as possible to hide behind the Thestral's neck.

They flew over the Hogwarts grounds and over Hogsmeade; Harry could see the mountains and valleys below.

The day began to fade, and they flew through one village after another. Harry saw scattered lights, and then a lone car, speeding through the hills along the winding mountain road on the way back.

"How peculiar!"

Harry could barely hear Ron's shouts coming from somewhere behind, and imagined what it would be like to gallop so high in the air without being able to see his mount.
