Chapter 325: Thestrals

From the next compartment, a long voice drifted through the open door.

"You know, Dad actually considered sending me to Durmstrang instead of Hogwarts, and he knew the Headmaster.

Well, you know what he thinks of Durmstrang...... The man was strange...... Durmstrang didn't admit anything unseemly, but Mom didn't like me going to school that far away, and Dad said Durmstrang was more skilled at witchcraft than Hogwarts.

Durmstrang students are actually learning the Dark Arts, not just doing something as pointless as defensive, like we do. ”

"Bump!"

I saw Hermione get up angrily and close the door, and the sound outside was suddenly inaudible.

"It's Malfoy."

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Su Zimo, on the other hand, nodded thoughtfully.

He still has a certain impression of this villain who has always loved and killed the savior in the original book.

It's also interesting to say that several people have known each other since the beginning, and Draco Malfoy actually took the initiative to show kindness, but perhaps it was fate, the two still didn't become friends.

Since the first grade, there have been all kinds of small contradictions.

"I'm sorry, Cedric."

After all this was done, Hermione noticed that there were outsiders present, and her face was a little red.

"It's fine."

Su Zimo waved his hand, and then asked curiously: "Durmstrong, is it also a magic academy?" ”

"Yes."

Hermione snorted, "It has an extremely bad reputation, and according to the European Review of Magical Education, this school has a strong focus on dark arts. ”

"Where is it?"

"I don't know, it's said that there is competition between the magic academies as well, and neither Durmstrang nor Beauxbatons like to be found out in their place. I'm guessing it's on the north side, though, because their students wear thick fur clothes. ”

"Ah, think about that possibility."

Ron said dreamily, "It's not going to be so easy to push Marf into the glacier and make it an accident...... What a pity his mother likes him so much......"

Hearing this, Su Zimo was noncommittal.

The Weasleys, as the "outliers" among pure-blood wizards, seem to have a lot of grudges with Malfoy, a family that is always pretentious, and even with the children of both sides, there are some contradictions.

Of course, none of these things have much to do with him, that is, what Su Zimo has to do at the moment is naturally how to complete the task and learn about the entire wizarding world by the way.

However, when he walked around all the carriages and passed by the Harry Potter trio again, he noticed something unexpected.

I saw Ron arguing with a young man with blond hair, a pale face, and a slightly thin body.

I saw that the man was holding an old robe, with a hint of contempt on the corner of his mouth, and laughed loudly: "Look at this, the style that was popular a hundred years ago. ”

"Shut up, Malf!"

Ron shouted, his face flushing as he pulled his robe back from the young man's clenched hands.

"Haha, you're going to participate in the competition, too, the winner has money in his account, so you can buy a decent robe." Malf smiled, "And you, Harry, who loves to be in the limelight, you will definitely sign up too." ”

"What are you talking about, Malf? Either interpret your words or get out. Hermione, who was on the side, stood up and said angrily.

"What, you don't know?"

Malf laughed again: "Weasley, aren't your father and brother both working in the Ministry, is it because their officials are too small for the high-ranking officials in the Ministry to tell them?" ”

As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully, and with his two followers, he turned around and went out.

"What is the difference between this kind of tone of speech and the vindictiveness of a child......

Su Zimo, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly slandered in his heart, but immediately, he laughed dumbly: "I almost forgot, our savior and his friends are only half-old children now." ”

"Hey, Cedric!"

At this time, Harry also noticed Su Zimo and nodded at him, his face a little embarrassed.

After all, this scene is indeed a bit embarrassing to outsiders.

It was Su Zimo, but he didn't care, as if he didn't notice the quarrel just now, and said quietly: "I know what the game Malfoy is talking about." ”

"Really?"

In this regard, the three of them were naturally extremely excited.

Seeing this, Su Zimo smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the Triwizard Tournament?" ”

"Triwizard Tournament?"

"Okay......"

Seeing the confused look on the faces of the three of them, Su Zimo couldn't help but be a little surprised, in his opinion, even if Harry and Ron didn't know about the Triwizard Tournament, at least Hermione, a "jack of all trades", should know, right?

In desperation, he also began to introduce the trio: "The Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago, and is a friendly competition between three of the largest schools of magic and wizardry in Europe, and these three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrand.

Each school selects a champion, and then three warriors compete in three magical projects. Held every five years, the Triwizard Tournament is hosted by the three schools in turn, and it is agreed that it is a great way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships......

It was only later that the death toll was so high that the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted. ”

"The death toll?"

Hermione exclaimed.

But Su Zimo continued: "Over the centuries, people have tried to revive the tournament several times...... This year, the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports decided that the time was ripe for another attempt, so they planned to resume the tournament. ”

"I see."

Hearing this, Harry was also a little stunned and a little curious, "But, Cedric, how do you know about such an important matter?" ”

"Is it important?"

Su Zimo raised his eyebrows and played with taste: "Perhaps, when we get to Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore will announce the news...... Perhaps, only someone like Malfoy would use this kind of thing as a bragging rights. ”

With this sentence, the expressions on the faces of the three of them became much kinder.

Obviously, Su Zimo's words won their favor.

"Alright, the train is almost to the academy, and I should go back and change my clothes." Su Zimo smiled lightly, walked towards the carriage door, and immediately turned his head and said, "Goodbye, three." ”

Afterwards, the Hogwarts Express finally slowed down and stopped at the pitch-black Hogsmeade station.

The door opened, and there was a rumbling thunder in the air, followed by a continuous heavy rain, which was a little unbearable.

"Armor protection!"

As this incantation sounded, an invisible barrier clinged to Su Zimo's body a few inches away, and before the rain could fall on him, it was separated by this thin barrier.

"It's not bad, although it can't compare to the protective qi of a strong person in the Grandmaster Realm, but at least it can withstand the damage of ordinary cold weapons......"

After feeling the power of his iron armor spell, Su Zimo couldn't help but nod his head, and secretly compared it: "If it's a local defense, it can even resist the damage caused by pistol bullets." ”

The most important thing is that the Iron Armor Spell is not difficult to cast, and it has great popularity compared to Gangqi.

In the torrential rain, Su Zimo found that about a hundred swarthy carriages were parked on the street outside Hogsmeade Station, and the animals responsible for pulling the carts had no flesh at all, and the black fur was tightly attached to the skeleton, and every bone was clearly visible.

Their heads resembled those of dragons, their pupilless eyes were white and staring intently, and wings sprouted from the bulges between their shoulder bones—large, black, tough wings that looked like they belonged to giant bats.

The animals stood motionless and silently in the darkening night, looking strange and ominous.

"It's ...... Thestrals? ”

/Booth Emmm...... Yesterday I almost didn't sleep all night, went home at noon and picked up a few mouthfuls of food to make up for sleep, and then woke up at more than seven o'clock in the evening ....../helpless, to participate in someone else's wedding, it is estimated that it is the biggest harm to the single dog......
