In the thick darkness, a familiar voice sounded: "First-year students, please come here and line up! All first-year students, follow me!"

A tall shadow holding a yellow lamp staggered towards the train platform.

The freshmen looked up in fear at Hagrid, who looked like he could eat a child in one bite, and kept squeezing back.

Hagrid raised the lamp in front of his face. His bearded, savage-like appearance reflected in the eyes of the new students. Hagrid showed a kind smile: "Let's go, little guys."

Outside Hogsmeade Station is a dark street washed by rain, with about a hundred carriages parked on the road.

The animal that pulls the carriage is not a horse, but a very strange animal, a bit like a reptile. They have no flesh at all on their bodies, and their black fur is tightly attached to the skeleton, like the corpse of some kind of animal after death.

Only skeletons were left, and then they were resurrected using black magic. Each of their bones was clearly visible, their heads looked like dragons' heads, and their pupil-less eyes were white and staring intently.

Wings sprouted from the ridge between the shoulder bones, a pair of large, black leathery wings that looked like they should belong to a giant bat.

These animals were motionless and did not make any sound. The breath exhaled from their nostrils condensed into water vapor in the cold night air. They stood quietly in the increasingly dense darkness, giving them an ominous feeling.

Suddenly a third-grade girl said: "Don't these carriages move by themselves without horses? Why are there so many scary animals in front of them?"

"Anna, what are you talking about?" Her classmate said in confusion.

Anna said: "I mean the animals tied in front of these carriages, they look like horses, but they don't look like them."

"What kind of horse-like thing?" Her classmates looked at Anna funny, thinking that Anna was deliberately teasing them.

"It's the horse-like thing that pulls those carriages!" Anna's voice was a little louder, a little angry.

It was obvious that those strange horses were two or three meters away from them, staring at them with empty white eyes, but her friend deliberately pretended to be stupid and said she couldn't see them.

"What are you talking about?" her friend said.

"I'm saying... come and see!" Anna grabbed her friend's arm and pulled her directly to the strange horse, facing the strange horse with wings.

Her friend stared into the air, then turned to Anna.

"What did you ask me to see?"

"Look at that, right where my finger is, on the carriage! Right in front of you..."

But several of her friends still looked confused, and Anna suddenly had a strange idea.

"Could it be...can't you see them?"

"What did you see?"

"Anna, you...are you kidding me?" Her classmate looked at the empty carriage, then looked at Anna, and asked uneasily.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Anna?"

"I...it's okay..." Anna suddenly realized something from the blank expressions of the people next to her, her body trembled and she became quiet.

For a wizard to see things that others cannot see? This is not a good sign.

She smiled palely: "Actually, I'm kidding you. There's no such thing as a weird horse."

The people around her looked at her strangely, and then silently moved away from her. Although her friends didn't do this, it was obvious that there was a trace of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at her.

Harry, Luna and the other five got into a carriage.

Luna didn't know what her thoughts were. She forced a smile and said, "How strange? What kind of horse is there? It really knows how to joke."

Maybe she said this because she didn't want to look like a weird girl in front of Harry.

However... Harry looked at her strangely and said, "Can't you see them, Thestrals?"

Luna was startled and looked at Harry with bright eyes: "Can you see them? Aren't you afraid?"

Harry said nonchalantly: "What am I afraid of?"

"Because you are the only one who knows about the existence of this thing? If you tell others, they won't believe it, and they will think that you can see things that they can't. This is an ominous omen." Luna said eagerly.

Harry rolled his eyes: "I don't blame them for their lack of education? Isn't it true that only those who have faced death can see the Thestrals?"

Hermione said: "That girl named Anna, I'm afraid she saw someone die this summer vacation. "Hogwarts: A School History" clearly stated that the school cultivates Thestrals, and their function is to pull

The carriage that delivers students? How come so few people know this common sense? I decided to suggest to Principal McGonagall that "Hogwarts: A History of the School" should be used as a guide for new students."

"You can see it too?" Luna said.

Hermione said: "I can't, but I know. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of them in the book, and I can only imagine what they look like based on the words."

Harry said: "It's better not to see it. It's too ugly, the kind of ugliness that can give you nightmares."

"oh."

Seeing that the people on the carriage were talking and talking and didn't seem to care about the so-called Thestrals, which represented unlucky things, Luna suddenly showed a faint smile and was very happy.

Hermione noticed this, she leaned against Zhang Qiu's ear and said angrily: "Look at Harry, he has increased his favorability in Luna's heart. It's definitely intentional."

Zhang Qiu nodded in agreement.

The carriages lined up in a queue, creaking and swaying along the road. They passed the tall stone pillars on both sides of the gate leading to the school grounds, with winged wild boars on top of the pillars.

You can also see the lights lighting up in Hagrid's new house next to the Forbidden Forest, and Fang's cry is heard, calling Hagrid to go home quickly.

Hogwarts Castle was getting closer and closer vaguely: the towering towers looked even darker against the dark night sky, and occasionally a window could be seen shining red and dazzling light above their heads.

The carriage jingled to a stop beside the stone steps leading to the oak door, and Harry was the first to jump out.

Then he first took the petite Astoria out of the car. In order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of Zhang Qiu and Hermione, he very smartly gave them equal treatment. Then he subconsciously continued to turn around and made a hug gesture.

Inertia, inertia...

Luna walked out of the carriage. She looked at Harry who was about to catch her, and her face froze.

"Ahem..." Harry didn't feel unnatural at all, he just put down his arms as if nothing happened.

But Luna suddenly pounced on Harry. Harry hugged Luna, spun her 180 degrees, and landed her safely on the ground.

"Let's go." Luna's face turned red and she walked to the front.

"Oh...ok." Harry said.

"Harry, are you comfortable? Is Luna's waist soft and her butt perky?" Hermione asked "gently".

Harry's expression was as usual: "How did I know? My hands are very honest, I feel...not as big as yours."

Hermione: "Bah..." Then pulling Zhang Qiu, Astoria hurriedly walked up the stone steps and entered the castle.
