Chapter 443: Night Ride

Harry looked very nervous in the carriage, and he kept looking uneasily at the front of the carriage.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Harry?" asked Ginny, frowning. She hated boys who didn't have the guts and were startled.

"Can't you really see that horse-like thing pulling the cart?" Harry looked a little scared.

"I've said it all, Harry. Ginny couldn't hold back her anger a little, "There's nothing pulling the carriage, it's always moving on its own." ”

"Ginny, I think Harry was right. Louis reassured.

"Can you see that, Louis?" asked Harry, surprised.

It's just too torturous to see something that only one person can see. And that thing is still terrifying, which makes people shudder.

"No, Harry, I didn't see what you said. Louis smiled and said, "Isn't that thing very thin, and it's like it's wearing a layer of leather armor, and the bones on its body are clearly visible." It also has a pair of wings, and the real question looks like a horse with wings....... But it's much uglier than a horse. ”

"That's right, that's it. Louis!" Harry said excitedly.

"Is there really something there?" Neville was scared, and he looked a little frightened at the front of the carriage.

"Don't worry, Neville. "That's the Night Rider, it's a very gentle magical creature, and they only eat vegetarian food. ”

"Then why can't you see it?" asked Harry.

"The Night Rider is a very strange magical creature that can only be seen by those who have witnessed death. Louis said in a low tone.

"I've seen death........," Harry muttered to himself.

"Harry, are you .......... this holiday season?"

"I saw a guy on the road who was hit by a car.......... He never got up again....." Harry said with a complicated expression.

He was so frightened that he couldn't even react in his head, otherwise he would have been summoned by the Ministry of Magic for helping the stranger he didn't know.

"That's right, you're the only one of the four of us who has seen death, so only you can see it. Luis said.

"I'm sorry Harry...... I always thought .......," Ginny said, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, to be honest I really thought something was wrong with my head. Harry said with a sigh of relief.

He didn't care at all that Ginny didn't believe him, after all, no normal person would think that there was something he couldn't see around him. If it were him, he wouldn't have believed it if someone had told him that there was an invisible creature in front of him before he had seen it with his own eyes.

The carriage staggered to a halt not far from the gate, and Louis jumped out of it first.

They passed through the entrance and walked into the hall in the direction marked by the stone. The hall was as lively as ever, and everyone was talking about the fun things about the holiday.

Louis Gryffindor's table and Harry parted ways, walking alone towards Slytherin's table. Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time he has been alone, and the little maid will always be by his side in the past.

As Louis sat in his Slytherin seat in a daze, a man suddenly sat next to him.

"Young Master, the matter of the prefect has been settled. The little maid's voice reached Louis's ears.

"Oh. Louis came back to his senses, "Do you know who the new prefect is?"

"I don't know. The little maid replied.

"Well, but it doesn't matter. Louis said lazily.

"That's right, young master. The little maid said, "Whoever is the prefect must do as you tell him." ”

"I feel like a dictator in your mouth........ Louis said depressedly.

"It is their honor to be at your disposal. ”

"I almost thought you were serious, Linda. Louis said with a smile.

Linda looked at Louis calmly. Obviously, there was no joke in what she said just now.

"Ahem...."Louis cleared his throat, "Do you know why Umbridge is here?"

"It was Fudge who arranged for her to come in, to help the vacant position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. The little maid replied.

That is to say.......... Is Fudge going to officially intervene at Hogwarts?" Louis said, smacking his lips.

"That's right, and I've heard that this Umbridge is a diehard Fudge loyalist, and has a great dislike for Dumbledore. The little maid said.

Luis nodded, it was clear that this year was going to be a special year, and it was fair to say that the battle between Dumbledore and Fudge would be on the horizon.

When the sorting ceremony was over, Dumbledore stood up from his podium.

"I want to say to the new students, welcome to your second home. Dumbledore said gently, "I want to say to the old students, welcome home. ”

With that, Dumbledore sat down gracefully. The only fly in the ointment was that he threw it his shoulder in order to prevent himself from falling into the plate with his long beard, which made the students below laugh.

Soon the laughter stopped, not because Dumbledore was angry, of course, but because the table was already full of food, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"I didn't expect Voldemort to come back, but he couldn't stop his humor cells. Louis watched Dumbledore's movements with some amusement.

"He is truly a true wizard. The little maid said with some seriousness.

"If he had been born thousands of years earlier, perhaps the Merlin that everyone knows now would have to be replaced by Dumbledore. Louis took two fried chicken thighs from his plate.

"But he's still not as good as you. The little maid said. That's right, in Linda's psychology, her own young master is the most powerful one.

As the meal ended, the communication in the hall began to be louder again.

At this point, Dumbledore stood up again and said gently, "Well, although we had a wonderful dinner party just now, and I'm sure many of the students miss his bed. But I still hope that you will listen to me some announcements about the start of school, which is a necessary process. ”

"First of all, everyone should be aware that the forbidden forest in the school is for nervous students to enter. He took out a roll of parchment from his robe and read it from it. "Our Administrator, Mr. Filch, wants me to tell you that spells are forbidden in the hallways. Moreover......... Hmm......." Dumbledore scanned the parchment before holding it aloft, "There are four hundred and sixty-five prohibitions on it, and I'll stick it on Mr. Filch's office door, so if you're interested, check it out for yourself." ”.
