"Thestrals? You mean Thestrals? ”

When Terry heard this, he almost jumped out of the carriage in fright, and he looked at the front of the carriage with a ghostly gaze.

"You said it's Thestrals? Met Merlin's ghost! I said, why can't I see it, how can Hogwarts pull a cart with such a thing! He shrunk his neck in fear, a look that startled both Earl and Ike.

"Didn't you say that this thing would bring misfortune to people?"

Thestrals are not very popular in the wizarding world, and wizards believe that this creature, which can only be seen by facing death, is a symbol of ominous death.

In addition, their appearance is somewhat ugly and weird, which is really not pleasing to wizards. He also likes to live in dark forests, has sharp teeth, and is attracted to blood like a shark.

It looks like a fierce and vicious look.

So, despite the fact that several magizoologists, including Newcastle Mandel, have jointly protested and issued statements explaining the creature to people.

However, the Ministry of Magic still designated Thestrals as a dangerous creature.

This makes people's misunderstanding of it deeper. So, it's no wonder that Terry misunderstands them.

"Don't be afraid, this animal isn't as scary as you think, or Dumbledore would have gone crazy to let them pull the cart for the students." William didn't expect Terry's reaction to be so big.

"That's not for sure, I don't think he's normal right now." Terry was still thinking about it.

Ever since Dumbledore forcibly snatched Ravenclaw's House Cup last year, he has been very dissatisfied with Deng Sr., not only him, but the entire Ravenclaw, including Professor Flitwick, has a lot of grudges against Old Deng.

After all, Ravenclaw hasn't received this honor in years.

"Maybe it's because he's so old and has a lot of brains. By the way, they say that only those who have witnessed death will see Thestrals, so who are you and Ike? ”

"When I was younger, my mother left me because she was sick." Ike said with some frustration, and it was clear that Terry's question had brought back a sad memory in his heart.

"It was a very strange disease, even with modern medical treatment, there was no cure, and I could only watch my mother weaken day by day, and finally die in agony."

"I'm so sorry, I,"

"It's okay, it's been a long time." Ike smiled bitterly and waved his hand indifferently, only William noticed that the corners of the boy's eyes were a little moist.

Apparently he wasn't as indifferent as he seemed.

There are many things that cannot be forgotten, even after a long period of time.

"I'm pretty much the same, when I was little, my uncle." William made up a nonsense and fooled him.

Of course, this was not true, because William had the impression that he had never seen anyone other than his parents.

Not to mention any uncle. He had never heard it from his father or mother, nor had he seen it in the family genealogy.

It sounded a bit counterintuitive, but William didn't think anything was wrong.

Maybe it's because these generations are all in the same line.

"I'm so sorry to mention your sadness." Terry's face was also a little unnatural, and he was obviously offended by his problem.

"Actually, Thestrals were misunderstood by wizards. Seeing Thestrals is not a harbinger of death, and they are generally not a threat to humans, and despite their vicious appearance, they rarely take the initiative to attack humans. I read all of this from Newcastle Mandel's books," William explained to the crowd in the carriage.

"Newcastle Mandel? Is it the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", that magizoologist? ”

"Yes." Hearing William say this, everyone seemed to relax a lot, after all, it was a recognized master, an authority in the field of magical beasts, and what he said should not be wrong.

"It's a rare creature, and I think Hogwarts is the only place in England where there are a lot of tame Thestrals.

The Thestrals are said to have been trained by Hagrid, who has always been passionate about these ferocious creatures. ”

"He's amazing!" Terry sighed in admiration.

Unbeknownst to many wizards, Thestrals are very loyal creatures that will remain loyal to their owners if they are tamed.

In ancient times, the Thestrals were the first choice for many wizards because of its speed, and despite its skinny and malnourished appearance, its wide wings could easily carry at least two adult wizards for long periods of time.

So, there used to be some crazy romantic witches and wizards who rode Thestrals in the sky and did some crazy things.

And like the owl, the Thestrals' sense of direction is strong, and as long as the riders give the correct name of the destination, it can take the riders to the right place.

Unlike most wizards' prejudices against them, William didn't have anything unusual about the creatures themselves.

Even if he had an idea, William only wanted to know about this magical creature.

Well, dig deeper.

Let's say let's dissect one and take a look.

Ever since the unicorn corpse was dissected, William had fallen in love with the feeling.

He found that dissection is the clearest way to understand this creature, to see the organs in the body, to compare them with other species, to discover the wonders of this creature.

William liked it, though it seemed a little sickly.

He was also very curious about the Thestrals' way of hiding herself.

Why should only those who have witnessed death see them?

Why haven't I seen death, but I can find them too?

How did their thin, aerodynamic wings sustain their rapid soaring through the sky?

In addition, it is said that the tail hair of the Thestrals is a very powerful substance, and it can be used as the core of a wand, but the wand made from it will have quite high requirements for the user.

Only a witch who dares to face death and can overcome it will be recognized by his wand.

According to legend, one of the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, had a core made of the creature's tail hair.

William pondered, but gradually, he realized that something seemed wrong.

Didn't you say that Thestrals were faster than firebolts?

William looked out of the carriage in some confusion, the platform behind him was still faintly visible, and he looked at Thestrals in front of him, who seemed to be strolling leisurely.

So why does it go so slowly!

Didn't Hogwarts give them food?
