Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 57: Sacred Artifacts and Thestrals

When Anriel left the principal's office and returned to his room, there was already someone in the room.

Luna sat at the desk, doing her homework seriously.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl turned around in surprise and trotted into Anriel's arms.

To be honest, Anriel often has a sense of unreality... Did he just get Luna like this?

Was her reaction whenever she saw me always a little... too excited?

This shouldn't be the case... With my intervention, Luna has no chance of being bullied at school, and Anriel has also solved her minor appearance issues...

Forget it, no matter what the process is, it’s not a bad thing that Luna is so dependent on herself now. Her performance in the Duel Club proved that Luna has not become a fragile little teacup.

That's fine.

Then Anriel routinely corrected all of Luna's homework except for Potions and Astronomy...

If even Professor Binns, a ghost, approves of his behavior, then there is nothing to blame.

Professor: Hmm? Less work? Good thing!

There is no doubt that Luna is very smart. With the help of Anriel, she has already started to skip grades and learn future knowledge in advance.

Currently, I’m probably at…fifth grade level?

The thought of a first-year student being able to sit for Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLs) straight away was outrageous.

Every time Luna raised her little face and smiled at Ariel, he could feel a deep sense of unreality.

A sense of happiness and guilt rose in my heart at the same time, and my reason and thinking were in conflict with each other...

This was a feeling he had never experienced in either of his past lives.

Really...

......

Let’s talk about school.

The semester, which originally had only a short amount of time left, passed even faster after the exams, bringing the students' vacation at an astonishing speed.

So many strange things happened this year...

Most people really can’t accept such an exciting “accident”.

So most of our students have been looking forward to the holidays...

Wait, even if this didn’t happen, it’s normal for students to look forward to the holidays…

Of course, there are also a small number of people who don’t really want to take a holiday.

For example... Harry Potter.

For example, Luna Lovegood.

On the train, Anriel was too busy to say hello to our second graders.

Luna stayed snuggled up to him, clearly not wanting to let go.

So Anriel decisively gave up the idea of ​​going out and sat with Luna on the platform.

Are you kidding? Who is Harry Potter?

Not familiar, really unfamiliar.

After bidding farewell to Luna at Platform 9?, Anriel received Mr. Lovegood's sincere invitation, and he naturally agreed and agreed on a time -

It's just right that I can take Luna directly back to Hogwarts before school starts.

Xenophilius appears to have written to Dumbledore to verify Anriel's identity.

After receiving the accurate response that "Anriel is Dumbledore's only offspring", he seemed to finally let go and handed Luna over to Anriel...

He might not be a normal person, and he might not even be a good person in times of crisis.

But he loves his daughter very much and he is a good father.

Since Luna is also quite attached to Anriel...

As long as she's happy.

......

When Anriel was returning to school on the express train, he kept fiddling with the old black stone in his hand, causing the carriage to be filled with gusts of cold wind, which was very creepy.

Xenophilius seems to know a lot of things... When you go to visit him, you can just ask your father-in-law.

Anriel drew out his magic wand and drew a few slowly burning marks in the air:

A triangle, representing the invisibility cloak that brings protection from death, is placed on the outermost side.

A circle represents the resurrection stone and symbolizes that the power of death cannot be fooled.

Finally, there is a vertical line, which represents the Elder Wand, a terrifying and indestructible blade that conquers death and brings eternal sleep to all enemies and its owner.

The fire line burned quietly in mid-air.

After an unknown amount of time, the central ring suddenly went out, just like a piece of firewood that has been burned to ashes.

It's unbalanced.

The Resurrection Stone seems far from being able to support the task of easing the two extreme forces.

The invisibility cloak can hide death, even if it is only a legend, but in the legend, Ignotus Peverell used it to gain decades of extra life -

An extra life that is not discovered by the god of death.

Anriel raised his hand and clenched it, and a pendant with gold and silver mottled patterns appeared in his hand.

He stared carefully at the "eye" that symbolized endless death, and solemnly brought it to his neck.

Just now on the platform, he noticed that Xenophilius was wearing the pendant around his neck.

He also made one and put it on, and it looked pretty good.

As Xenophilius said:

As fellow saints, we use this method to find like-minded people.

......

"Ugh——"

The whistle blew out steam.

Hogwarts, here we are.

Anriel slowly got off the train, still thinking about the Deathly Hallows, and before he knew it he had arrived...

On the edge of the forest farm.

Batches of purple-black winged bone horses are raised freely in the forest farm.

These are the Thestrals, the nightmares of the night, the spirits of death.

There is even a legend that the Night Thestral is the mount of the god of death.

Anriel looked thoughtfully at the Thestrals that were coming towards him in groups of two or three, as if there was something about him that attracted them.

The Thestrals are not auspicious creatures.

They are close to those who are haunted by death—

Whether it is a doomed person who is good at bringing death to others, or a dying person with a strong aura of death himself, they are all included in this category.

The Thestral belonging to Anriel came running over...

It has grown quite large, and within a year it has acquired the ability to carry people. When its pair of bony wings covered with wing membranes are spread out, they are already much wider than an adult's arm.

The thestral snorted, lowered its front legs, and rubbed Anriel's hand affectionately with its skinny head, as if it wanted its master to ride on it and soar in the evening sunset.

Anriel jumped lightly and landed on the Thestral's back.

Although riding a Night Thestral without a vehicle is a bit bumpy, it doesn't matter.

The little beast beneath him seemed to understand Anriel's thoughts and jumped up into the sky.

At dusk, a chilly wind blew on Anriel's face. The Thestral beneath him was flying slowly but at an astonishing speed, flashing like a phantom, and rushing out nearly a hundred meters with each flash.

The sun gradually sank into the horizon and disappeared at the end of the Black Lake.

However, after night fell, this thestral seemed never tired and its speed was even faster than before.

It seemed that it was this vast night that gave it new and inexhaustible strength.

Anriel gently patted the Thestral's neck, and it seemed to understand its master's thoughts and obediently landed back on the ground.

Anriel knew what to call him.

It is so smart and agile, and its speed is like a passing phantom, piercing into the sky in the dark night and dissolving into the shadows...

"From now on your name will be...

Nightmare."

The Thestral, oh no, it was the Nightmare, it neighed excitedly and circled around Anril at a low altitude, seeming to like this name very much.

Patting the Nightmare's head, Anriel walked towards the castle. A few seconds later, a black eagle took off and accurately found the open, special window among the countless windows of the castle.

Anriel dived in, cried out, and turned into a human form when he landed.

......

"Good evening, my child."
