Chapter 331: An Unexpected New Professor
The six of them were so frightened by this sudden voice that they almost lost their souls. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When they turned around, a beautiful girl with silver hair and white skin appeared in front of them, no one knew how and when she came, as if she appeared quietly behind them like a ghost.
Although the girl is beautiful, she gives a sense of ...... How so? The eccentric impression of Guli, even a little beauty makes people not want to get close.
"Whew! Scared the hell out of me, Luna! I'm not telling you, you should break this habit. It's really scary to death at night! Hermione patted her chest and said to the girl in front of her.
Zhang Qiu smiled bitterly: "I thought I was used to Luna's way of playing, but I didn't expect me to think highly of myself. ”
"Luna?" Harry looked curiously at the girl in front of him and whispered to Bruce, "That's that Luna Lovegood?" ”
For this beautiful Luna, Harry has also been known for a long time. One is because she is the head of the Ravenclaw Association of Fujin, and she is very familiar with Hermione Bruce Zhang Qiu. Second, she is also a Hogwarts celebrity, known for her eccentricity. Even people like Bruce, who knew her well, said the same thing about him.
Although Harry Ron is also a member of the Welfare Society, the two of them have hardly attended any of the Welfare Society's meetings, so today is also the first time they have met Luna. And the eccentricity of Riluna can be said to be vividly expressed.
I saw Luna slowly walk up to the black "skinny" Thestrals and gently stroke it, of course, this kind of action was very strange in front of Ron and them, like a psychopath caressing the air.
"Wouldn't it be nice to scare you to death? So you can see them too! Luna said softly. That tone, that expression, didn't look like a joke at all.
"Huh!" Harry Ron looked at Luna with some fear, as if there was a man standing in front of him who would assassinate them at any moment. For a while, the air fell into silence, and everyone didn't know what to say.
"Ahem!" Bruce coughed lightly and said, "Luna is such a character, she's a great friend, you guys will get used to it!" ”
Hermione and Zhang Qiu looked at Luna helplessly, this is not the first time that this situation has happened, Luna often causes such an effect during meetings or activities of the Fujin Association, but unfortunately Hermione and Zhang Qiu do not know Chinese songs, otherwise they will definitely sing "I am most afraid of sudden calm in the air!" ”
Cedric graduated and left last year, leaving the position of vice president empty. With Luna's ability, she can take on this position, but her personality makes Hermione Zhang Qiu hesitate.
"Get in the car! I'm a little hungry right now, I wish I had pudding! Luna said "gently".
Harry, Ron and Lavender shuddered, Luna was clearly talking about eating pudding, but it sounded like she was going to eat people.
Hermione Zhang Qiu pulled her to the car in order to break everyone's "fear" of Luna, but Harry and the three of them didn't move, Bruce quipped: "Let's go, are you two big men afraid of a girl?" ”
Then everyone sat in the carriage and Thestrals pulled the cart and slowly walked forward, at which point Hermione turned on the "lecture" mode and began to "memorize" Thestrals' information. In the past, Harry and Ron hated Hermione's "teachings" the most, but tonight they found that compared to Luna, who was reading a book upside down, Hermione was so cute.
"In fact, Thestrals is a surprisingly magical creature that can only be seen by those who have seen death. Because of this, they were once considered a symbol of bad luck. I think such an opinion is too unfair to Thestrals! Hermione said.
Ron asked, "In that case, what about Bruce, Harry, Zhang Qiu, and ...... Forehead! Luna, have you all seen dead people? ”
Zhang Qiu nodded and said sadly: "I was next to the old man in the family when he died. ”
"I've seen it too, but it was a long time ago," Bruce said. ”
Harry scratched his head and said, "I don't remember seeing death, probably ...... Maybe I watched Mom and Dad when I was a kid, right? ”
(PS: Regarding Harry's fifth year before seeing Thestrals, Ms. Rowling's explanation is that Harry couldn't think for himself when the Potters died, so that doesn't count as seeing death, so he couldn't see Thestrals before, and Harry couldn't see Thestrals until he saw Cedric's death in the Final Three.) And the embarrassing thing is that the kid forgot about this stubble, so everyone took the carriage that Harry and they were riding in before was an ordinary magic carriage! )
Speaking of this, the three of them became very sad.
"Huh!" Hearing the trio's answers, Ron felt that he had asked a stupid question, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Oh! Bruce, you recognized Thestrals, haven't you seen them before? ”
Bruce said, "This is the first time I've seen him, and I've only heard from Mr. Ollivander before. Thestrals' tail feathers are also a type of staff core, and ......"
Bruce didn't continue halfway through, and Hermione asked curiously, "And what?" Why didn't you say it? ”
Bruce rubbed his nose and said, "This topic is not appropriate for now. ”
When he said this, everyone wanted to know more, and even Luna, who was reading the book upside down, was relieved to look at him with the book. Ron hurriedly said, "What is this not suitable to say, hurry! Tell us. ”
Harry nodded and said, "Just take it as a story, tell it." ”
Bruce said, "Alright! Thestrals' hairy tail feathers are arguably the most powerful of all the materials suitable for a wand core, but there are very few wands made from it. ”
"Why? Have you seen it? Hermione asked hurriedly.
Bruce shook his head and said, "Don't say I've seen it, I rarely hear of it." The reason for this is that the wand made of Thestrals' tail feathers is not only powerful but also evil, it is linked to death. Of course, this is not to say that Thestrals are ominous, just that as a wand core it is characterized by that. ”
Harry glanced ahead and said, "Bruce, don't you make wands too?" Since ......"
"Pull it down! I don't want to hang up! Bruce said hurriedly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise, and Bruce explained when he saw this: "The wand made of Thestrals' tail feathers is not something that everyone can control, even a powerful wizard has no courage to use it, only a wizard who can master it can control it, so many wizards who use it are killed, and the person who makes the wand will not end well, so the wand maker will not make such a terrible wand." ”
Obviously, everyone was shocked by Bruce's statement, although the wand was magical, but in their eyes it was just a tool for using magic, but today they knew that this tool was so dangerous and even incomprehensible.
Ron hurriedly asked, "And does anyone use such a wand now?" ”
Bruce said, "Mr. Ollivanders once said that there was a very powerful wand, and the core of the wand was the tail feathers of the Thestrals, but that's all he said. But I think there will still be people using wands like this. ”
"Why?" Puzzled, Harry asked, "Why would anyone use such a terrible wand?" ”
"Because it's worth it." Luna's strange voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and she whispered: "Life is not the most important thing for many people, when their life has no value or has a high life value, then such a wand will become their greatest help." ”
Luna had a point, but it sounded to Harry Ron as if she wanted to get the Thestrals' tail feathers. Then again, "the air suddenly fell silent".
"Huh!" Bruce snorted and said, "I'm just not a good topic to talk about right now!" ”
Hermione immediately said, "Then let's change the topic and talk about our plans for this year." I must pass the wizard exam, and I will carry forward the benefits! ”
Ron immediately said: "Of course, to be a Quidditch player, I could have done it last year, but it was delayed because of the top three." ”
Zhang Qiu smiled bitterly: "My ideal is very simple, can we win a Quidditch championship?" ”
Ravenclaw's Quidditch team is actually capable of competing for the title, and with the graduation of Hufflepuff's ace Cedric, they have one less threat. But Zhang Qiu knew that unless Harry didn't compete, they wouldn't have a chance.
Harry felt embarrassed that Quidditch was his ideal, and Zhang Qiu was the person he liked, but he didn't know what to say now.
That's when Hermione helped. Hermione quipped, "Zhang Qiu, you're so beautiful!" It's better to use a beauty trick to confuse Harry. ”
Harry instantly turned red, and Zhang Qiu smiled very happily: "Of course I won't refuse if I can!" But Bruce is very powerful, I don't dare to be a beauty trick for him, haha! ”
Bruce laughed, "No matter how good I am, I'm just a chaser, and it's the Seeker who decides the outcome in the end." ”
When Zhang Qiu heard this, he immediately had a shy expression, and his eyes blinked at Harry. Of course, Harry knew that this was Zhang Qiu's intention, and he was joking, but he himself was so uncompetitive that he sank!
"Haha! Ok ok! Noticing that Harry was about to be coronaed, Bruce smiled and said, "Senior sister, don't be discharging, Harry is about to faint!" ”
"Hahaha!"
At the Hogwarts Opening Dinner, after the sorting ceremony, everyone began to enjoy a hearty and delicious meal. But for Bruce Harry, the food didn't taste good in his mouth, because there was a large empty seat next to them, and Dean and Simon were all far away from them. And Slytherin's Malfoy kept watching them with an expression of watching the play.
Harry couldn't eat anymore and stuck his fork in the pudding, then whispered to Bruce, "Do you know what I want to do now?" ”
Bruce took a sip of the juice and said, "Put this pudding over Malfoy's face." ”
"How do you know?" Harry asked.
Bruce glanced at a smug Malfoy and said, "Because I want to do it too!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!"
At this moment, Dumbledore's powerful voice rang out. Everyone put down the knives and forks in their hands and looked at the stands quietly.
Dumbledore stood up and walked to the front and said, "There are two changes in the faculty arrangement this school year, the first is that the Magical Creatures Protection class will have a new professor, but she didn't make it in time. This year she will be learning how to protect the magical creatures with you, and Professor Hagrid will be separated from them for a short time! ”
"What?" Harry was surprised and asked, "Why is that?" ”
Ron said, "No wonder Hagrid was unhappy at the station. You see, he didn't even attend the dinner party. ”
Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "Hagrid's magical creatures class is amazing, it's so unfair!" ”
Bruce advised, "Don't think about it, maybe it's just that Hagrid is really in trouble." Keep listening! There should also be a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, I wonder who it will be! ”
Harry said, "I wish I could be like Professor Lupin!" ”
It's really ironic, Defence Against the Dark Arts is a very important course, but since Bruce and the others have actually learned only Lupin and Moody, and that Moody is still a fake.
Bruce smiled, raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's pray that this is a good teacher!" ”
"Drink it! I'm still willing to wait until the answer is announced! Harry laughed.
Bruce smiled and took a sip as Dumbledore announced, "We're also going to welcome the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge......"
"Poof!"
