"So, we've been riding, this ...... This car pulled by something that is invisible to ordinary people? Harry looked at Thestrals, looking surprised, looking at Thestrals, then at Daphany, and then at Luna.

The prefects were in charge of checking the carriages, so Hermione, Ron, Draco, and Pansy all had to return to the castle a little later. Harry, Daphany, Neville, Luna, and Ginny huddled together in a carriage.

Originally, Harry didn't meet Luna until this year. However, because of Daphany's foolishness, this time has been greatly advanced.

After witnessing the deaths of Horton and Verharen, Harry was able to see Thestrals. Before that, he had always thought that the carriage was running by himself, and he was startled when he first saw it.

Ginny was confused, and she was the only one of the five who couldn't see Thestrals. Even Neville didn't know when he had witnessed death.

"Yes, Thestrals! Only those who have witnessed death can see them! Luna nodded affirmatively.

"Hmm, that's a terrible creature!" Hearing Luna's words, Ginny said subconsciously.

"Not really!" Daphne shook her head: "Although Thestrals are creatures with strong magical abilities, their personalities are very gentle. There is almost no record of Thestrals attacking wizards or ordinary people, but many wizards have reported that they attack owls and affect the delivery of letters. But ......"

Daphany paused at this point, and Luna continued: "But because of their particularity, they are really unpleasant. ”

"By the way, did any of you see that female professor on the train, it seems to be a professor named Graplan!" As if trying to change the subject, Ginny asked, "I saw it in the carriage at Midgan." ”

"Oh, I know her!" Neville said in a rare vein, "A witch who is very accomplished in the field of magical creatures and herbs!" ”

"Huh? Is Professor Sprout retiring? Harry asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, Professor Sprout isn't that old, just, well, a little older than Snape, right?" Ginny shook her head to indicate that it shouldn't be like this. Neville nodded his head as well, he liked Professor Sprout very much, and only Professor Sprout would compliment him often.

"It can't be a Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Didn't Daphany say that Defence Against the Dark Arts was one of Fudge's men! Harry couldn't remember the name Umlich for a moment, he could only say that he was one of Fudge's men. Except for Daphany, the other three were a little confused.

"No, Grapeland is here to represent the Magical Beasts Protection Division." Daphany said lightly. As a school manager, she always knows about the personnel aspects of the college first. But whether or not to say it to others depends on Daphany's mood. Hagrid, presumably due to Dumbledore's arrangement, may be absent for a period of time this semester. During this period, the Magical Beasts Conservation class was taught by Professor Graplan.

"Fantastic Beast Protection? And what about Hagrid? Harry was shocked, and even Ginny and Neville changed their faces, except for Luna. Although Hagrid has become very popular among the students, no one really cares about his presence or not, except for Harry and the others.

"Not so clear! However, I was told that I was a substitute teacher, not a formal teacher. Probably Hagrid has something to do! Daphany replied with a smile. Although she knew that Hagrid had gone to contact the giant, if nothing happened, she would bring back a pure-blood giant brother. However, Daphany didn't 'should' know about it, so she didn't mention it.

Harry and Ginny were relieved to hear that it was just substitute teaching. Harry also knew that Hagrid often had to run errands for Dumbledore, so he didn't care too much.

Although the prefects were delayed in inspecting the carriages, they did not arrive at the auditorium in much time. As soon as Daphne sat down, Draco and Pansy had returned.

"Cousin, it looks like two new professors have arrived. One is Umlich, and the other seems to be in place of Hagrid! Draco pushed aside one of the students who had been sitting next to Daphany, babbling back on what he had discovered.

Daphine nodded, indicating that she already knew.

"How so? The big guy is still good. Although a little crude! "Draco, smash, smash.

Daphany suddenly thought it was funny. Originally, Draco hated Hagrid very much, but due to her influence, and the fact that both of them had a special obsession with dragons. At this time, the relationship between the two turned out to be very good. Draco would even be unhappy about Hagrid's departure.

"Professor Grapeland is only a substitute teacher, and Hagrid should be back. At the latest, after Christmas! Daphany said with a smile.

At this time, the freshmen came in with a hula and a cheer. I love to read

Voldemort's resurrection did not affect Hogwarts admissions. In fact, because last year's tournament was the ultimate victory for Hogwarts - even if it was Harry Potter who competed in his own name. This distinction has led to more children in the wizarding world choosing to study at Hogwarts. In the context of the obvious decline in the population of the wizarding world, especially in Europe, Hogwarts still overrecruited forty-six students this year, which is gratifying.

Before the sorting ceremony began, the Sorting Hat sang a new song. Although it sings a new song every year, this year's tone is particularly ugly. Daphany just wanted to burn it with a fierce fire.

After that, the first-year wizards began to sit on them and distribute them.

It is worth mentioning that almost every new Slytherin student will come over to say hello to Daphany and call her eldest sister before taking their seats. It seems that by the time they were on the train, the senior students had already educated them.

"Barrow, come here!" When Dumbledore finished speaking, the banquet began. Daphany beckoned to Barrow, the Bloody Man, who was sitting silently in the corner.

Daphne cleaned up Peeves when she was in first grade, more than once. Notorious in castle ghost circles! Although he is the most terrifying of all the ghosts, and even the bloody man who can control Peeves, Barro, still floats over obediently when faced with Daphany's summons.

Several of the new snakes hadn't paid attention to Barrow before, and they were startled when they saw him floating over.

"What's the matter?" Barrow asked reluctantly, his voice like rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other, very unpleasant.

Daphany didn't care, and as she shoved a skewer of roasted oily chicken skin into her mouth, she asked, "Is there anything special going on in the castle during this time of vacation?" ”

"The students and professors are not there. There is only a group of ghosts, and there can be anything special. Barrow said disapprovingly, although several of the professors at the college called the college home. But during the holidays, many of them also go out to travel. The only professor who has really been guarding the academy for a long time is probably Professor Binns of the History of Magic, who is also a ghost.

"Think about it? Such a big castle. Nothing new? Daphany asked with a grin.

"Nick Headless Horseman will apply and fail again, does this count?" Barrow asked angrily.

"Probably not, it's been hundreds of years of failure!" Daphany smiled even more. She noticed that on the other side of the auditorium, Harry and the others happened to be talking to Nick.

"The group of wolf demons and the spider tribe in the Forbidden Forest fought again, and this time it was very fierce! The wolf demon killed two, but killed hundreds of spiders. Nick continued, "That Spider King is also injured, and it is estimated that it will not last long. It's either this year or next year, and it's almost impossible to survive until the year after! ”

"Well, that's kind of interesting!" Daphne vaguely remembered that Aragog seemed to die next year, and she didn't think it was a little strange when she learned about the creature of the eight-eyed spider. The eight-eyed giant spider has a theoretical lifespan of 200 years, and it can usually live to be more than 100 years old if it has enough food! But Aragog died in his fifties. At this time, it seems that it is because of the fight with the wolf demon.

A wolf demon is not an ordinary wolf magical creature. They are the result of a hybrid of wolf slaves and wolf slaves. The bloodline of a wolf slave is usually not inherited, but if it evolves to a pure-blooded werewolf, there is a certain probability that it will be inherited, but the probability is still very low! If it is a combination of wolf slaves and wolf slaves, there is a certain probability that there will be inhuman offspring left, that is, wolf demons.

Wolf demons are wolf-like creatures with considerable intelligence, and they are in the form of giant gray wolves. Anyone and wizard who has ever seen this creature will marvel at their beauty. Especially when exposed to moonlight, their gray fur will turn silver due to the reflection of the moonlight.

The combination of the wolf demon and the wolf demon will give birth to the wolf demon 100%, and the combination with the ordinary wolf, there is also a certain probability that the wolf demon will be left. The Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is home to a tribe of wolves, said to have nearly twenty of them. The legend of the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest is actually them, but there are no real werewolves.

The wolf demon can't do magic, but it has a certain amount of magic resistance and poison resistance, and its recovery ability is quite strong. Coupled with the group dispatch, it can be regarded as a small force in the Forbidden Forest.

Daphne had seen this creature more than once when she was wandering around the Forbidden Forest, and according to her estimates, the big dog that Sirius had transformed into should not be able to defeat the wolf demon one-on-one!

In addition, she has YY more than once. I don't know what Blake, who has transformed into a dog, will give birth to if he combines with the wolf demon.

"Anything else?" Gathering her thoughts, Daphany continued.

"If anything......" Barrow thought for a moment, "and then there was just now, didn't the Sorting Hat give a warning!" I've heard the Sorting Hat warn about it several times before, always when it senses that the school is in great danger. Of course, its advice is the same every time: stick together and maintain internal stability. ”

"I've always wondered what that hat is!" Daphany thought about the Sorting Hat's song and nodded. couldn't help but complain: "I've always wanted to find a chance to dismantle it and take a look, is it a magical life?" ”

"I don't know about that!" Barrow spreads his hands: "The Sorting Hat was there when I came to Hogwarts. Its principle is probably a secret that only the head of the academy knows! ”
