Chapter 049: Mount

The first game of the Hogwarts season ended with Harry capturing the Golden Scout, and Gryffindor House finally defeated Slinthlin House after a hundred years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to Harry's reputation for capturing the Golden Scout, Edward's performance was also appreciated, and the two from the Ministry of Magic even began to sigh on the spot, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few people like Edward, they both had the idea of popularizing live ambulance in Quidditch matches.

In this match, Edward caught five fallen players, and except for the first Wood, who broke a bone in the chest due to a blow to the chest, the other four did not fall and could continue the game with a few breaths.

The official of the Department of Magical Sports left, leaving behind documents allowing Edward to serve as an ambulance on the spot, and he also invited Edward to participate in the Quidditch World Cup in this capacity. Edward rejected the offer because he didn't have the time, and the official relented and invited him to the World Cup finals, to which Edward agreed.

After the first match of the Quidditch season came to an end, Hogwarts was back to its normal school life.

Edward was also busier, not only taking his physical classes during the day, but also auditing a large number of classes. In the evening, he still needs to replace Fei Qi in the second half of the night, which needs to continue until the next morning.

To outsiders, this kind of work is too much for ordinary people to bear, but Edward lives with relish, and he does not show the slightest tiredness or boredom at all, except on the last day of the week, when Edward shows his fatigue - that is the day Edward performs the ritual of breaking the forbidden spell.

Ever since Edward denied Harry's suspicions about Snape, he found that the three of them rarely came to his office to chat, but Malfoy, a thorn, came to his residence from time to time, chatting happily with him, and taking away a lot of snacks and mulled wine.

On Christmas Day, Edward had three days off. He asked Hagrid to take him back to his home on Privet Road, and after spending three pleasant and hearty days with Emily, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he returned to Hogwarts.

Before all the students had returned to school, Edward went to Hagrid's hunting ground and asked Hagrid about his mounts and pets.

After he had seen Dumbledore's pet phoenix and mingled with it, Edward lost interest in other pets and waited for Dumbledore to find other phoenixes for him. He had come to Hagrid to find a suitable mount and to use it as a soulbinding.

"Mounts, oh, you've got the right person, I've got three mounts for you to choose from. Hagrid laughed, "With your level of animal taming, you shouldn't have a problem taming them." ”

"Oh, the three?" said Edward, intrigued.

"The wizards' favorite mounts are Hippogriffs, Winged Beasts, Thestrals, and Unicorns. ”

"I haven't seen any of the three, can you tell me what they are?" asked Edward urgently.

"Hippogriffs are about the same as griffins, they are very fierce, they fly high and fast, and their endurance is quite impressive, but they are difficult to tame. ”

"Thestrals are ordinary invisible creatures that can only be seen by those who have witnessed death, they are winged horses, they have an excellent sense of direction, they are extremely fast, they are loyal and intelligent, but they cannot be compared to winged beasts in terms of weight and stamina. ”

"As for the unicorn, it is a rare and holy creature, they have no wings and cannot fly, but they have great magical abilities, their unicorn can detoxify, their blood can sustain life, and their fur can make wands. However, they usually like to spend time with witches, and it will be difficult for you Edward to tame them. ”

"Let's go, I can't tell you what I'm saying, I'll let you see the real thing, and by the way, you can also see your beast taming skills. ”

When Hagrid talks about magical creatures, he has a sense of excitement that he can't stop having. He dragged Edward to the taming farm not far from his house, and to a majestic winged beast.

It was a winged horse, very tall and powerful, with the head, wings, and front paws of a giant eagle, and the hind half of its body, including its legs and tail, which resembled that of a horse. The eyes are orange and the coat color is the same as that of a normal horse.

As soon as Edward saw this magical creature, which was taller than an ordinary horse, he fell in love with it.

"Slow down and don't approach him. To deal with winged beasts, you have to bow first and then make eye contact with him. If the other person also bows in return, then you can approach it, otherwise you will most likely be attacked by him. Hygra stopped Edward and wanted to come forward.

Hearing this, Edward let out a strange cry from his mouth, and let the queen bow to the winged beast, and immediately received a return salute from the other party.

Hagrid and Edward had been learning beast language for some time, and he could probably tell Edward was speaking a bird language.

Edward then ran towards the winged beast and jumped on its back with a single jump.

The winged beast raised its front paws high and let out a loud chirp, and with a flick of its hind legs, it carried Edward high into the air.

Hagrid looked at Edward laughing in the air speechlessly, envious to the extreme. I think that when he tamed this winged beast in the first place, but it took a lot of effort, but he was good, a sentence of dialogue could make the winged beast agree......

Edward flew in the air for more than half an hour before he came down.

"How does it feel?" Hagrid asked.

"Great, I've decided I have to tame a mount like this. As for the Thestrals and Unicorns, forget it, the winged beasts are the mounts of men. Edward excitedly said, "Originally, I wanted to tame a dragon as a mount, but ......"

"Don't say it, Edward, don't remind me of sad things. Hagrid stopped.

"I'm sorry, that's not right. Edward said slightly apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm already grateful that you can teach me beast language. Hagrid adjusted his mood and said, "Are you going to see Thestrals?"

"No, you can just take me to find the wild winged beasts, I want to get one as soon as possible. Edward Road.

"Well, if you're looking for wild winged beasts, you're going to go to the Forbidden Forest, eat at my house first, and then I'll have an errand to go in in the evening. ”

............

After a "rough" dinner at Hagrid's house, Edward learned about the errand that Hagrid was talking about.

Dejected, Harry and Malfoy are led by Caretaker Fly-Seven to Hagrid's house.

"Huh, why is Professor Edward here?" said Fei Qi in surprise.

"Hagrid and I are going to head into the Forbidden Forest to pick up a mount. Edward smiled at Fei Qi, and then walked in front of the four Harry, "What have you guys done again?"

"Professor Edward, with you, we have no problem with this punishment. Malfoy laughed at the sight of Edward, with whom he had been having a good time lately.

"That's a bargain for you. Fei Qi said angrily, "These students ran out of the academy after the lights went out, and we caught them, and now we will punish them for patrolling the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid." ”

"Now I'm handing them over to you, Hagrid, and Professor Edward. After saying that, Fei Qi took the lamp and left.

"Aha, Edward, how's Christmas going?" Ron grimaced at Fei Qi and greeted Edward happily.

"Not bad. Edward laughed.

"Edward, what mount are you going to catch in the Forbidden Forest, what are you going to mount for?" asked Hermione.

"You also know that I can't cast magic or use magic items, and if you have a broomstick to fly, I'll need a flying mount. Edward replied, "As for what mount it is, you'll know when the time comes." ”

"With you, maybe we don't have to worry about anything. Harry was relieved to see that Edward was there. The deep, dark and terrifying Forbidden Forest was even more terrifying to their students than Fei Qi said to hang them up.

............

The group entered the legendary Forbidden Forest, a forest shrouded in cold and darkness, which reminded Edward of the misty mountains of Middle-earth, which also hid many magical beasts and secrets.

"Just last Wednesday, I found a dead unicorn here, and someone killed these holy beings. Hagrid, armed with a crossbow and a big dogtooth, walked in the front.

"Could it be a werewolf?" Malfoy asked in horror, and as soon as the three of Harry heard the werewolf, they also moved closer to Edward, who was walking at the back and carrying the stars.

"No, werewolves aren't that fast, and while they're agile, they're nothing compared to unicorns. Hagrid denied.

"Unicorn thing, I'll help you later, Hagrid. Edward was a little absent-minded, "I'm desperate to get a mount right now, take me there first." ”

"Alright, alright, Edward, let's go there first. Hagrid said helplessly.

When the group saw a large number of Hippogriffs gathered on a cliff, Harry and the others finally understood what mount Edward wanted.

"Oh my God, Edward, don't tell me you're going to tame one of them and be your mount?" Ron began to tremble as he watched the countless yellow dots of light flicker in the darkness.

"I didn't expect it to be a winged beast, I've read in books, it's fierce and very difficult to tame. Hermione incredulously too.

"That's right, this is the mount I was looking for, out of 10!" Edward stared at the group of winged beasts in front of him, staring at one of the tallest winged beasts standing at the top of the cliff.

"That's you. Edward let out a low roar of excitement and carried the star on his shoulders, letting out a loud cry from his mouth.
