"What a proficient Patronus Charm." A somewhat hoarse voice came into Malfoy's ears, and Malfoy looked up, only to see a man with a tired face looking at him in the middle of the aisle, his eyes full of approval. .
This man was wearing an extremely worn-out wizard robe, patched in several places, with a sickly face, light brown hair mixed with white hair, even though the exhaustion on his face could not be concealed, the look in his eyes was compelling.
"I think we'll have a chance to communicate later." The man said kindly. In his opinion, the safety of this carriage is due to the young man in front of him. Even the shapeless Patronus Charm can play a certain role in resisting. Even just now, he himself just summoned a silver light, and the dementor left in fear.
"But now I have to find the driver. The rain is too heavy, and we have to restore the lighting as soon as possible." The man said with some worry, and glanced out the car window by the way. The bean-sized raindrops kept hitting the window, and the window glass It seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mud. Not long ago, the train jolted violently, and all the lights were extinguished. The only thing we could rely on was the gloomy light outside the window. When the sky was completely dark, it could serve as a lighting effect. Maybe it's just fluorescent flashes.
"I hope the rest of the journey can be passed safely." After speaking, the man slowly walked towards the front of the car, preparing to negotiate with the driver.
"Remus John Lupine." Malfoy said the name silently in his mind.
This was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher he would meet in his third year at Hogwarts.
A little while after Lupine left, the lights on the aisle of the train suddenly turned on, and the whole carriage lit up again. It seemed that the lighting supply had been restored, and the raindrops outside the window gradually became smaller, thick and heavy. After the dark clouds receded, the sky suddenly lit up, and the stretching fields were full of flowers and plants of different colors. The strong wind blew past, like waves rolling in the sea of flowers.
However, these beautiful scenery are only short-lived, and soon the sky will really darken, and this also means that the journey on the train is coming to an end.
"Time~~" The long sound of exhalation and the slight sway when the car finally stopped announced that the students had arrived at their destination.
"Wake up, lazy pig." Malfoy gave Pansy a little shake.
"Are you there?" Pansy rubbed her sleepy eyes. She felt that she hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, but when she saw her current posture hanging on Malfoy's body, she couldn't help but blushed slightly.
"Clean up, get ready to get out of the car." Malfoy slowly broke free from Pansy's arms, put her on the seat, and reminded.
Pan Xi blushed, looked down at her wrinkled robe and hurriedly reached out to smooth it out, but felt that her head had been knocked suddenly.
"Are you so sleepy that you forget that you are a wizard?" Seeing that Pansy had returned to his original state, Malfoy was not polite, and directly tapped her on the head with his wand, and then Read to her robe: "Back to the original!"
The robe, which was wrinkled just now, is as brand new again.
Pansy's face turned even redder now. Before getting into the car, she thought she would be a blockbuster at the beginning of school and make Malfoy look up to her, but now she made a joke, and even forgot to use such a simple spell.
"Sigh, I really don't know how you will pass the next exam." Malfoy could only sigh helplessly, apparently he had nothing to do with the girl in front of him.
"Can you still stand up?" Malfoy couldn't help asking again, his legs must have been almost numb after being in that difficult position for a few hours just now, as expected, Pansy just let himself try to stand up, but immediately fell back Sitting on the seat, her weak body and numb legs made it difficult for her to walk.
Malfoy could only hold his forehead helplessly.
Soon, the door of the train opened, and a few gusts of cold wind suddenly poured in. The outside temperature was still very low. Malfoy leaned out half of his body out of the window, and the cold rain was pouring down. He could only see that the platform was covered with There was frost, and from time to time a few students slipped to the ground and got muddy all over their bodies.
Malfoy certainly couldn't leave Pansy here alone, so he took her tender little hand and said, "Let's go."
Pansy nodded, she felt that no matter how much she told herself to stay away from him, it would be useless, because she would inevitably indulge in his thoughtfulness, concern and accommodating.
"I'm sorry." She said in a low voice, but it was covered up by the louder and busy voice.
"What did you say?" Malfoy asked, not understanding Pansy's words.
"Nothing." Pansy shook her head slightly.
After getting off the car, a rough voice rang in their ears. "First year come here" Hagrid's burly figure stood out from a group of students, and the freshmen had to participate in the traditional ferry boat activity to commemorate the four predecessors who founded Hogwarts.
Malfoy helped Pansy move slowly along with the surging crowd.
"I can go by myself." Pansy was still a little embarrassed, and gently broke free from Malfoy's palm, and then walked step by step, expressing that she was fine.
Malfoy naturally wouldn't force it.
They followed other students onto a rough and muddy path, and as far as the eye could see, hundreds of carriages were waiting for the remaining students.
Surprisingly, there are no horses in front of these carriages.
Malfoy is well aware of this, only those who have seen death can see thestrals. According to records, they have huge black horse bodies without any flesh, and the black fur is tightly attached to the bones. The root bone is clearly visible. Its head resembled that of a dragon, with white eyes without pupils, a long black tail, and wings growing between the shoulder bones.
He and Pansy were about to get into the car, but when they glanced over from the corner of their eyes, they found a girl squatting in front of another carriage, her eyes staring blankly at the front, as if she had discovered something novel.
Her light blonde hair with a hint of brown revealed her identity.
This should be the first time Luna saw thestrals. Last year, she was in the first grade and needed to follow the tradition to reach the castle by boat, so she didn't see it. In fact, thestrals are very rare. Except for a few wild thestrals, most of thestrals in Britain today are being tamed by Hagrid. The original one male and five female thestrals were already in his Breeding has quickly developed into a population.
Even Dumbledore used them as a means of transportation when he traveled long distances and Apparation was inconvenient.
Hagrid, this should be the animal tamer talent, right? Thinking of this, Malfoy was about to step into the carriage, but saw Luna's body tremble suddenly, as if he felt his gaze, stood up and walked straight towards him. The distance was very short, and Luna was there in a blink of an eye. In front of Malfoy.
"Thank you." Luna looked straight at Malfoy with her somewhat blurred eyes, bowed slightly, and sincerely thanked him.
"Huh?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows in confusion, feeling a little confused, remembering that he hadn't helped her.
Luna didn't explain, because she sensed an inexplicable hostility from the girl behind Malfoy. She turned around and walked towards the other nearby carriage with small steps, but her eyes still glanced at the Thestrals in front of the carriage from time to time. Luna didn't know why the other students couldn't see it, which made her even more curious about the creatures in front of her. She decided to go and read some previous issues of "The Quibbler", maybe she would gain something.
It's just that maybe when she knows the real reason, she hopes that she will never see these creatures.
"Did I help her?" Sitting in the carriage, Malfoy was still thinking about Luna's thanks just now.
"Of course, it's just that you didn't notice it." Pansy suddenly took over his soliloquy and began to explain.
Only then did he know that when Luna came to him to give a speech on Lockhart's stage that day, the few conversations between the two of them were noticed, so those students from the same academy who had bullied Luna hurriedly said The things stolen from Luna were returned to her, which led to the fact that the notice written by Luna to return the things was not posted.
If Malfoy and Luna had a good relationship, wouldn't he be the one who got revenge next time
bad relationship? Then I shouldn't have anything to do with this crazy girl, wouldn't it be more difficult to accept being implicated innocently.
This incident made Luna even less popular with her academy.
But she didn't resent Malfoy, but expressed her gratitude to him. If other people might blame him, but in Luna's eyes, no matter how many people alienate her just because of rumors, it shouldn't matter. A friend who treats her sincerely.
She is so straightforward and independent, even if the students around her laugh at her, she still lives freely and does not change her original intention for the sake of others' opinions.
For Luna, she can always keenly feel the true emotions of the people around her when facing her. Is this intuition lucky or unlucky? (The free novel mobile client is officially launched!
