"So, this magical creature is a group of invisible cute carnivores?" Lillian tapped her lips with her finger and wondered.

"Actually, it's not because you can't see them because you're invisible," Hagrid smiled innocently, "I don't know exactly how they work, but these creatures called Thestrals are very cute. ”

"But they're very, very unlucky!" Parvati interjected, looking horrified, "It will bring all sorts of terrible calamities to those who see them, as Professor Trelawney told me at one point—"

Augustus interrupted her with a gentle smile, "Thestrals are actually quite tame, and most wild Thestrals can be tamed. No, in fact, the carriages we ride in every school year are driven by them, and if we insist on saying that these creatures are aggressive, in my opinion, they will only manifest themselves when they are really threatened. ”

Hagrid nodded gratefully at Augustus, and continued, "That's right, this creature actually has many advantages for humans, and as for bad luck, it's just superstition. ”

Two more horses crept into view, one of them brushing past Parvati. She trembled and clung to the trunk.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." Hagrid said patiently, "Now, who can tell me why some people can see and some people can't?" ”

Malfoy raised his hand.

Hagrid hesitated, but then lifted him up, "You say." ”

"If you say it's Thestrals, Uncle Ben doesn't need to be so scared," Malfoy said with a big grin, "It's just some stupid people who can be invisible, and if you want to see them, you can go to the Wizengamot execution ground for a sightseeing." ”

Hagrid's bushy beard trembled slightly, and he nodded helplessly, "Yes, I want to see Thestrals." Must have seen death in person, actually—"

"Ahem, ahem."

Professor Umbridge is here. She stood a few feet away from Harry, still in a green hat, green cloak, and clipboard in hand. Hagrid, who hadn't heard Umbridge's fake cough, looked at a Thestrals next to him with some concern, apparently thinking it was the sound it was making.

"Ahem, ahem."

"Oh, hello!" Hagrid smiled, discovering the source of the strange sound.

"Did you get a note I delivered to your cottage in the morning?" Umbridge spoke as slowly and loudly as she had spoken to Hagrid the previous time.

Oh, got it," Hagrid said heartily, "glad you found the place!" You see—I don't know—can you see that? We're talking about Thestrals today—"

"I'm sorry," said Professor Umbridge, holding his hand to his ear in the shape of a cup, frowning, "what did you say?" ”

"Uh-Thestrals!" He said loudly, "Horses -- uh -- wings, you know!" ”

He slapped his thick arm twice in his eagerness. Professor Umbridge raised an eyebrow at him and read as he wrote on the clipboard, "Depend??" Clumsy?? Gesture?? ”

"Okay??" Hagrid said, turning to face the student, looking a little flustered, "Huh?? Where did I go? ”

"It seems?? Memory?? Very poor?? Umbridge said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Oh," Hagrid glanced uneasily at Umbridge's clipboard, but spoke bravely. "Yes, I'm about to sue you."

"Did you know that," Umbridge interrupted in a loud voice, "the Ministry of Magic has classified Thestrals as a 'dangerous animal'?" ”

"Is Thestrals a dangerous creature?" Augustus suddenly asked Malfoy beside him, "If it is said that the animals that are used as an important means of transportation are dangerous creatures, then the group of Dementors guarding Azkaban should be labeled as an anti-human extinct species." ”

Draco laughed dryly, "yes, Thestrals are no different from sheep than those crumbs. ”

Umbridge's steady hand trembled slightly, a fake smile appeared on her face, and her voice was hypocritically respectful, "Mr. Augustus, classify Thestrals as a 'dangerous animal', this is a regulation of the Ministry of Magic. In addition, in fact, the new ** education law reform, the senior investigator has added a bill to deprive students and change the right of teachers, which was introduced by your father himself. ”

Many looked at Augustus in amazement, apparently completely unaware of and incomprehensible to the new educational order. Augustus's conflict with Umbridge, which was well known at Hogwarts, now means that the order was issued by his father.

A smile appeared on Augustus' calm face, and he nodded, "Well, congratulations." Before Umbridge could smirk back, the smile on Augustus' face gradually changed, "Actually, I have seen the reform of the education law, and in the project of exercising the rights of teachers, one of them should be the revision of the weight, and you missed the word "weight" because you can't understand the meaning of these two words." Actually, you can ask Minister Fudge, you can't figure out the reform of the law, the reform of the law, the most important reform, and you, the senior investigator, are really doing a good job. ”

The false smile on Umbridge's face suddenly froze, Augustus was right, in the motion to exercise the right to punish the students, it was indeed a great increase in the scope of her powers, but in the case of teachers, to this day, she did not understand the meaning of this decree, and today, in the words of Augustus, she already had some sense of the unusualness in it. Obviously, she seems to have been used as a substitute pawn in the struggle in the high-level political games.

Hermione had been listening to the conversation between the two, and even if she looked at it, it was a fog and a blur, and now, after Augustus had pointed out the main points of the reform of the education order, she had gradually grasped it.

In the following lesson, Umbridge did not say a word, Hagrid had a smooth ride, and the introduction of the Thestrals' various biological attributes became more and more proficient, and many students were still happy to feed these invisible creatures although they could not see Thestrals. Finally, ten minutes before the end of the class, Umbridge hurried out of the Forbidden Forest.

Snow fell from the sky again, and crystal snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, and the world was once again plunged into frozen snow.
