Chapter 44: Thestrals
The ice cream was still very powerful, and it had a wonderful effect on the stomach only an hour after Ike had eaten the full bucket.
But don't worry, potions are meant to be used in this kind of place. A small bottle of antidiarrheal medicine goes down, and like no one else, you can eat another meal of fish and chips.
The Weasleys and Harry are returning to the Burrow, and Hermione is returning to the London house with her parents. After saying goodbye to them, Ike continued to spend his time in the scrap shop, until the day before school started, when he finally found a copy of the notes of a therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, which contained a lot of commonly used healing magic and special cases.
Of course, with Ike's current level, those cases are incomprehensible, and the treatment techniques and treatment concepts are even more clueless. When you go back to Hogwarts and read more books on basic healing, you may understand.
However, that's for later, and I could add one more to the plan.
After spending his last night at the Leaky Cauldron, Ike left his room at nine o'clock the next day, boarded the bus with the box that had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm, and arrived at King's Cross Station by mid-ten.
Across the wall, Hogwarts had already stopped there, and a few young wizards had already arrived. I found a random compartment at the back of the carriage and went in, put the box away, and took out "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" at the bottom of the box to start the time.
Gradually, the little wizards boarded the train, and the second-year eaglets soon found Ike, who was reading. After a vacation, Stewart was a little darker, Terry was a little fatter, and Michael and Anthony didn't change much, except that their hair was longer, and it meant that they were closer to Snape.
As soon as he entered the cubicle, Stewart took out a lot of snacks made at home, macarons, muffins, chocolate chip cookies, and Terry also took out a large handful of weird beans, Michael and Anthony were not to be outdone, and the table in the cubicle was quickly piled up.
Sweet macarons are very popular with Terry, and Weird Beans are disliked by almost everyone. This kind of candy that depends on luck to eat any flavor, those who like it love it to death, and those who hate it are annoyed when they see it.
Ike also tried, boogers, ear poogers, sheep liver, devil spicy, and he didn't even eat four normal ones, and the angry Ike almost flipped the table at that time.
There is no reason to be a staunch advocate of cockroach heaps.
Terry, on the other hand, is different, and the weird beans he eats are either strawberries or mango blueberries. The unbelieving Ike even tried to split the weird beans that Terry picked out in two, but Terry had a milky flavor and his was bitter melon......
Eating snacks and chatting, the train soon started. With a licorice wand in his mouth, Ike watched Terry eat a watermelon and a banana on his left, eating weird beans, and felt the urge to get some cockroaches.
It's a pity that his inventory has long been depleted. Cockroach Pile is not Duke Honey's bestseller, it is only available in Hogsmeade's main store.
You can find twins in a batch.
While they were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door of the cubicle. Anthony opened the door, but it was Hermione and Ginny.
"Ike!" Hermione looked anxious, "Did you see Harry and Ron?" ”
"No, didn't they get in the car?" Ike shook his head.
"Probably not, I've searched all over and haven't seen them." Hermione said hurriedly, and Ginny on the side looked like she was about to cry.
"Don't worry, there's people from the Ministry of Magic at the entrance to the station, and they have owls to deliver letters to the professor." Ike knew that the two guys were going to be driving Mr. Weasley's baby car and the Hogwarts Express, and now they were flying in the air overhead.
But Hermione couldn't tell the news, so she had to be comforted: "As long as they wait on the other side of the wall for a while, someone will naturally help them." ”
"Of course I know, but I'm afraid those two guys won't wait." Hermione sighed.
"Alright, they'll be fine, would you like some licorice wand?" Ike picked up a licorice wand from the table and handed it over.
"No, I'll look for it again." Hermione shook her head, pulled Ginny and ran away.
As soon as he returned to his seat and sat down, Stewart came over with bee candy in his mouth, and the others pricked up their ears.
"That's Hermione Granger from Gryffindor, Ike, that Miss Jack-of-all-trades?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Ike glanced at the strangely behaved crowd and guessed what Stuart was going to say next.
"You...... And she's not ......"
"It's not." Ike shook his head, "Just friends." ”
"Oh...... All right. "Stewart pulled Oh for a long time, and the others all looked like we all knew. Ike raised his head and looked around, and everyone brushed away from Ike's gaze again, eating candy eating candy, performing magic spells, performing magic spells, nothing happened.
Nodding with satisfaction, his left hand moved, and the candy and snacks flying in the air returned to the table.
The Hogwarts Express is said to be an express express, but in fact the speed is very anxious, and it is evening again when Hogwarts arrives.
The second grade didn't need to take a boat to go to the Black Lake, and after getting down from the station, under the leadership of the prefect, Ike and the others walked out of the station and walked a short distance on a small road, and saw more than a hundred carriages parked on the side of the road.
"One for four, don't squeeze!" Roger beckoned the eaglets to get into the car, Stewart, Terry, Michael, and Anthony in one, and Morag in the other. Ike didn't get up, and let the two carriages drive to the castle on their own.
"Ike, why didn't you get in the car?" Roger asked aloud as he looked at Ike, who was standing on the side staring blankly at the carriage.
"I'll wait a minute." Ike shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Okay." Roger patted Ike on the shoulder, smiled, and boarded a carriage for himself.
"There are a lot of cars, don't miss the sorting ceremony!"
Waving goodbye to Roger, Ike stayed on the side of the road for a while, until all the young wizards except him had gone in their cars, and then came to the last carriage.
"This is Thestrals......" Ike raised his right hand, trying to reach for the pitch-black, dragon-headed head in front of him. Thestrals flapped the broad wings on her back and shook her head, staring at Ike with a pair of blood-red eyes.
Ike didn't dodge, and his right hand stretched forward slightly. Thestrals ducked back, but then leaned forward and pressed her forehead under Ike's palm.
Touching it with a smile, Thestrals also rubbed as if they were enjoying it. Patting its tall body, Ike finally boarded the carriage.
Hogwarts Thestrals originally had only six horses, one male and five females, and the current colony is bred from these six horses. They are very spiritual, and despite their terrifying appearance, they never attack people. What's more, the number of people who could see them could be counted on one hand, and most young wizards didn't even know they existed.
Thestrals pulled the cart steadily, and the speed was not slow, and it didn't take long for Ike to reach the castle gate. After getting out of the car and walking into the auditorium, the little wizards were all seated according to the academy, chatting in twos and threes, looking very happy.
When Anthony saw Ike coming in, he waved his hand and beckoned him over, and Ike smiled and trotted to sit down next to him.
After a few more moments of laughter, Professor McGonagall walked in with a group of young peas.
The sorting ceremony is about to begin.
