Parents of Hogwarts

"Frank was breaking through a large group of Slytherin players. Not all the Slytherin players were blocking him. He really didn't know why they were doing it. Frank was just a beater. It was the Golden Snitch. Oops, the Golden Snitch appeared and disappeared again. Frank was almost killed. He was knocked down, I hope he’s okay. And why are there such things like Li Liang’s fireworks?”

On the grass outside the castle, Karan, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak, glanced at the stadium with strange eyes from a distance. Several fireworks could be seen rising into the sky and jumping around the entire stadium.After a while, they all disappeared again.

I never expected that the rules of Quidditch today would be so loose.

After he could no longer hear any commentary, Karan had already walked to Hagrid's hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The door there was locked. It seemed that Hagrid had also gone to watch the game.

Karan didn't stop. After bypassing the hut, he walked straight towards the Forbidden Forest.

On the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, there is a narrow path that gradually disappears into the depths of the black forest. This is the safest route.

With the breeze blowing, Karan walked along the road. There was silence around him, and he seemed to be the only living thing in the entire forest.

After walking in silence for a while, Karan suddenly deviated from the path of the path next to a large Sicomo fig tree. He left this safe route and walked into the dense trees.

There were vines and tree stumps everywhere, which made Karan slow down a little to avoid scratching the invisibility cloak.

Just like how he and Steve sneaked into the Forbidden Forest for the first time.

And the route he is taking now is also the route he took when he first sneaked into the Forbidden Forest.

There was still silence all around, until after a while, a sound gradually came from a particularly dense forest ahead.

Karan stopped in front of the woods.

Even though it was daytime, it was as dark as dusk in this forest.In the darkness between several yew trees, several reptile-like monsters were walking around. They were as skinny as wood, with dragon-like faces, broad bat-like wings, and a pair of white eyes without pupils.

Deep in this area, live the Thestrals of Hogwarts.

Karan silently watched the few three Thestrals. It seemed that because of the distance, the Thestrals did not find Karan hiding under the invisibility cloak this time.

After thinking in his mind for a while, Karan no longer stayed where he was, but he didn't continue walking along the original route. Instead, he walked directly into the jungle and headed toward the few animals. Ye Qi slowly walked over.

He walked cautiously, and after a while, when he gradually reached a certain distance, the leader of the Yeqi looked towards Karan from a distance as if it was the first time.

It seems that the invisibility cloak cannot completely block the Thestrals' perception.

However, the Thestrals in Callan's eyes behaved slightly differently this time. Even though he did not have Steve's ability to communicate with magical animals, he could still see a hint of uneasiness in their restless steps.

But it didn't look like they were completely vigilant. As Karan continued to approach, the Thestrals seemed to be hesitant.

In the end, Karan stopped far away, frowning deeply.

This is not how the Thestrals in Hogwarts should behave.The Thestrals here have all been tamed by Hagrid. They should not show any vigilance or aggressive behavior, otherwise the school would not allow them to pull the carriages for students other than freshmen.

The only reason for the changes in the Thestrals seemed to be the anomalies in the Forbidden Forest.

Karan guessed this immediately. He looked at the three Thestrals from a distance and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In the end, he didn't move forward.

In addition to the fact that Thestrals are domesticated, they also have more primitive instincts and are judged to be at the xxxx level, and are listed as dangerous animals by the Ministry of Magic.

After making a cautious decision, Karan turned around silently and planned to return to the original route.

However, at this moment, he suddenly froze.

There was a sound of conversation from the other side of the woods, and two figures were walking towards here through the low tree stumps and vine branches.

One of them had only one arm and half a leg left, and all other parts were replaced with wooden prostheses.He was carrying a heavy-looking wooden barrel in his hand, but even so, his pace was much easier than the other man's, and he looked like he was very familiar with the Forbidden Forest.

The other man was wearing a luxurious witch robe, which made it more difficult for him to walk through the trees, especially because his big belly made it more difficult.From time to time, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, even though it was already a relatively cold month in November.

Professor Kettleburn from Care of Magical Creatures and Professor Slughorn from Potions.

After noticing the appearance of the two of them, Karan immediately walked quickly towards the back of a thick yew tree.Even though he was wearing an invisibility cloak, he was still trying hard to cover his figure and avoid exposing himself.

He didn't know Professor Kettleburn's abilities, but he felt that it was worth remaining vigilant about Professor Slughorn, a gifted potions expert.

The two got closer and closer, and Karan could gradually hear their conversation more clearly.

"How about it"

Kettleburn asked: "Among this year's freshmen, are there any collections that you are interested in?"

His tone was slightly sarcastic.

"Of course there will be, in fact there is more than one."

Slughorn shot back: "And I'm pretty sure that none of them are missing an arm or a leg, and never will be."

"Humph"

Kettleburn said disdainfully: "Who is there? Tell me."

After hearing about the previous quarrel between the two, Callan originally thought that Slughorn would ignore it, but unexpectedly he actually named a few names.

"...Lily Evans, and Severus Snape, their performance is good enough, especially in Potions class."

Slughorn's tone was somewhat triumphant.

"That's all." Kettleburn frowned: "Where's Steve?"

"Who?" Slughorn asked in confusion.

"Steve Scamander of Hufflepuff House." Kettleburn's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "His father is Newt Scamander. We have known each other since we were very young. He When I was writing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I gave him reference information about the Chimera."

"There is such a thing"

Slughorn seemed to be startled, but then he shook his head and said: "I have a slight impression of the Steve you are talking about, but his performance in Potions class was a bit bad, otherwise With the help of his roommate, I wouldn’t even notice him.”

"Speaking of which, except for him, his two roommates seem to be pretty good. You should have read the article Silent Hogwarts, right?"

"Of course I have," Kettleburn said in a low voice: "Rita Skeeter still lives in Hogsmeade Village, and sometimes I can run into her on weekends. Speaking of which, I remember she is yours The punishment meted out to her by her favorite pupil Barnabas Cuffe"

"That's right." Slughorn admitted directly: "It was the letter I wrote to him. Albus has never treated us badly since he became the principal. Rather than letting the situation continue to get serious, it would be better to help him. Just a small favor.”

"Humph"

However, Kettleburn once again said disdainfully: "If you really want to help, then why don't you write directly to the school board? Isn't Abraxas Malfoy also your favorite student?"

There was a brief silence, Slughorn did not answer, and Kettleburn did not continue to ask.

The two walked silently to the Thestrals deep in the woods. They seemed to still be wary, but they gradually calmed down after Kettleburn shook the barrel in his hand.

He patted an approaching Thestral on the back, threw a large piece of raw beef to the ground, and tried hard to make a weird, shrill cry, but it always came out intermittently.

"Rupert did a much better job than I did."

After trying for a while, Kettleburn finally gave up. He sighed and said: "And his ability to tame thestrals is better than mine. He has a high talent for magical animals."

"Maybe I should consider retiring."
