Chapter 917: The Girl and Thestrals
Judging from the clothes she was wearing, she was supposed to be a member of some old pure-blood wizard family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For these wizarding families, Aven's Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry is completely forbidden to read, and there are many articles they don't like to read or damage their interests, and some domineering families don't even let their children touch it.
Evan wasn't surprised by this, but it was unusual for a Slytherin student to take the initiative to read Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry.
At the very least, he had never seen a Slytherin student like this before.
He wanted to ask the girl's name, but it didn't seem good to ask directly, and the four-year-old classmates didn't even know the name......
This is definitely a rhythm that makes people angry.
If only Hermione or Colin were here, they could remember almost all of the students' names.
The girl was visibly nervous as Evan stood aside.
She put all the newspapers in the box, and hurriedly took out her school uniform and robe, and put it on her body as fast as she could.
While she was changing her clothes, Evan saw a textbook in the box with a name written on it: Astoria Greengrass.
It turned out to be the Greengrass family, and Evan kind of remembered who this girl was.
In the original story, she ended up being Draco Malfoy's wife.
Lucius and Narcissa had high expectations for the girl from the purest sorcerer family, and they chose this daughter-in-law in a thousand choices.
However, it is said that she refused to teach her son the concepts of "pure-blood glory" and "Muggles like ants", instead believing that everyone should be treated equally, rather than being distinguished by family background and bloodline, and abandoned the old Malfoy family traditions, which led to a bit of tension at every Malfoy family gathering.
It's interesting to think about, but as pure-blood wizard families that have been passed down for thousands of years, the Malfoys are the most loyal supporters, and have always been known for their cunning and cunning, as the saying goes: you will never see Malfoy at the scene of a crime, but the wands of crime are covered in their fingerprints.
Who would have thought that the always cunning Lucius couple would end up in love with such a daughter-in-law.
From this, it can be seen how well Astoria is hidden......
Like Sirius, she was supposed to be an outlier in the pure-blood wizarding family.
Even if they weren't Death Eaters, the Greengrass family members were certainly loyal supporters of Voldemort.
She was here alone and secretly reading the Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry newspaper, reading these articles against Voldemort, and if they were discovered, they would definitely be regarded as traitors by all the Slytherin students and families.
It is not surprising that he was even expelled from the family, or was killed directly by Voldemort......
"I think some of the articles in this newspaper make a lot of sense, and you guys write very well. Astoria said.
"Oh, and do Slytherin students also read Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry?" asked Aven curiously.
"There are some people who watch, but everyone is secretly afraid to be known by others. Astoria hesitated for a moment before plucking up the courage to say, "Actually, I believe what you say. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized the problem in her sentence.
There are now many Slytherin students who know that Voldemort has returned, but the people in the other three houses still don't believe it.
Astoria hurriedly added, "I mean, I think you're right. ”
"Thank you!" Evan didn't expect to meet a supporter from Slytherin.
He looked at Astoria's blushing little face, and at his expectant and nervous eyes, and knew that it was unbelievable that she, as a Slytherin student, could say such a thing.
Truth be told, for that reason alone, this girl should come to Gryffindor.
In this way, Slytherin House is not full of enemies......
"Alright, let's hurry to the carriage, there should be only the two of us left on the train now. ”
"Yes!" Astoria nodded nervously, glancing at the boys' student council president badge on Aven's body.
As they stepped off the train, the platform was empty, and the darkness of night covered everything.
Evan helped Astoria with his suitcase, and the two of them exchanged politely as they quickly walked through the narrow passage to the darkened rain-washed street outside Hogsmeade Station.
There are about a hundred horse-drawn carriages parked here, and every year they bring students from the first grade to the castle.
Evan glanced at them, and he knew that the carriages weren't moving on their own, but that it was Thestrals.
Thestrals are a type of Pegasus, ordinary people can't see this creature at all, they have special magic on their bodies, only those who have witnessed death can see it, Evan couldn't see Thestrals pulling a cart a year ago, but now he can see it clearly, because he has already witnessed death with his own eyes.
In his eyes, the front of the carriage was no longer empty.
Between the poles stood some animals, which looked a bit like reptiles, with no flesh on them. The black fur was tightly attached to the skeleton, every bone was clearly visible, the head resembled the head of a dragon, and the eyes without pupils were white, staring intently ahead.
They grew wings in the bulge between the shoulder bones, large, black, tough wings that seemed to belong to giant bats.
These Thestrals stood motionless, silently in the darkening night, looking strange and ominous.
It's a strange feeling, Evan smiled.
It is no wonder that superstitious people think that these creatures are very unlucky, and that they bring all the terrible calamities to those who see them, and that it is a bad omen.
But in fact, as long as they don't attack them actively, Thestrals won't hurt people, and they won't bring any bad omens.
Thestrals are very useful, they have an amazingly good sense of direction, just tell them the destination, and no matter where you want to go, it will get you where you want to go.
And they're good at finding riders, and they will gather when they smell blood, which can be very useful at some point.
"Aven, here!" shouted as the students had already climbed into the carriage and Hermione leaned out of the window.
"My friend called me, are you with us?" asked Aven.
"No, no, I'll go to my sister anyway. Astoria hurriedly said, "She should have secured my seat." ”
The words she said to Evan alone had consumed all her courage, and at least these things would not be discovered by anyone else, but if the Slytherin people saw her and Evan in the same carriage, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in Slytherin.
