Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 99 The Unusual Second Grade
Except for the first-year freshmen, the little wizards from other grades gathered towards the main road. There were already carriages here, but strangely there were no horses in the carriages, which surprised many second-year wizards. They were still the first One trip to Hogwarts from here.

"Oh, get in the car quickly."

Draco opened the curtain first, then waved Goyle and Brak away.

"I'm afraid you two will have to build your own car."

Bree could naturally see the animal pulling the carriage, which was the Thestral. It was dark and exuding a dead air, like a Pegasus, but weird and gaunt, skinny as wood, with a dragon-like face and broad bat-like wings.

"Can you see it?"

Cedric looked at Bree worriedly. He was going back to his team, but the fact that Bree could see the Thestrals made him a little worried. Witnessing death is not a good thing.

"It's very strange." Bri tried to touch the Thestral, but the Thestral was very afraid of him. This was the first time. Bri thought that animals were willing to get close to him.

Just when Bree was about to study the Thestrals for a while, Draco said dissatisfiedly, "Let's go, I don't want to be late for the school-opening feast."

Bree had no choice but to slowly step into the carriage. He didn't like being late, and Cedric could only walk towards his team.

Although Brie's carriage was not full yet, no little snake dared to disturb him.

Putting the book given to him by Professor McGonagall in his pocket, Bree took out his wand and tried the Divine Protection Charm for the first time.

"Call God Guard!"

A bit of silver light flickered at the tip of Bree's wand, but it only spread a trace of mist before disappearing.

"The guardianship of the gods requires a strong power of love..."

Draco joked from the side: "Can't Bree find her love?"

Love was a foreign word that Bree never needed.

"I think my love is to live well and achieve every goal I have."

"Boom..." The carriage started to move, causing Draco to stumble.

"Oh, won't this carriage tell you in advance, really."

In the night sky, the stars are twinkling, the water is rippling, and the carriages fly across the sky towards Hogwarts on the opposite side of the lake, while the freshmen on the lake are rowing boats to start their magical career.

"This year will be much less interesting. At least it won't cause the same sensation as the Savior's admission last year." Draco looked out the window and leaned very casually: "But there won't be another black crow flying into the snake's nest. Well, making a fuss about Slytherin is better not to become a custom."

"Otherwise the dean will lose his hair."

Bree was still trying to summon the divine guardian, but he still didn't have enough emotion to support the power of the spell. Even using natural magic power was of no avail. He put the wand back on his wrist and straightened his collar.

Brie chuckled and said: "Maybe you can give him a bottle of shampoo for Christmas. In fact, I would rather he have a bald head than face greasy hair."

Draco laughed out loud.

"Pfft, I'd do it, maybe stupid Harry Potter would."

"Da da da!"

The flying carriage soon stopped in the open space of Hogwarts, where an old but energetic professor was waiting for everyone with a cane.

"Come in quickly, I'll take care of these carriages." The old man shouted loudly in a loud voice, and then he touched a Thestral next to him very enthusiastically.

"This is Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, who teaches the protection of magical creatures, and we will learn it next year." Draco said to Bree.

Bree also knew about this professor, and of course he knew more about his legendary life.

Who would have known that this professor had received 62 probation checks for feeding dangerous magical animals? Even now that he is about to retire, he has not yet become a formal professor.

"Let's go, haha, I'll have to watch Potter being dealt with later!"

This year's Hogwarts is the same as in previous years. Countless candles are flying in the air, waiting for the arrival of new students. The night sky on the ceiling is still beautiful and deep, which reminds Bree once again of when she first came to Hogwarts. scene.

But there are also differences, such as the professors on the faculty bench...

Lockhart was sitting next to Snape in a gorgeous dress, baring his big shining white teeth, as if the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor should be close to Snape. Now Snape's face was gloomy. He came out of the water, and Lockhart next to him was still chattering to Snape about his great achievements.

"Oh, I'm not an idiot who can only smile. When I had a fierce battle with a vampire..."

The strange thing is that this year it seems that Professor McGonagall is not leading the little wizards, but Dumbledore is absent!

Bree's puzzled eyes were clearly seen by Mag, and soon, Mag returned a smile to Bree, then stood seriously in front of the stage and said: "Okay, sit down quickly, the principal has to do something , so fortunately, starting from this session, the young wizards are led by Dumbledore, and I preside over the order of the hall."

"Weasley, don't touch the empty chairs at other tables!"

After being stopped by their dean, the Weasley twins looked at each other and saw the smile in their eyes.

Fred sang loudly: "Oh, what a great day, but I was watched by Professor McGonagall."

"How I miss Dumbledore's tolerance, Merlin praised him." George continued to sing.

Professor McGonagall's face darkened for a moment, and she immediately took out her wand and cast a levitation spell on the Weasley twins, taking out the adhesive from their pockets and pouring it onto their robes.

"Five points from Gryffindor. Since today is the first day, please be quiet."

Professor McGonagall looked at the situation below and it became more orderly. She nodded with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Weasley's move to show her authority.

"Now Hogwarts has a strict school system of adding points and subtracting points. Even Dumbledore will abide by it, so don't leave it to chance."

Smiling slightly, Professor McGonagall looked towards the corner of the hall, where a bulletin board stood.

"Everything will be recorded clearly..."

At this time, Snape's expression on the professor's chair became even more gloomy, but as Filch arrived and said a few words in his ear, his expression turned cold, and he immediately left Lockhart and stood up to look out. Go.

As soon as Bree sat down, she heard Draco on the side gloating: "Look, the savior is about to suffer."

Bree did not comment on this. Even if Harry Potter died outside, it was none of his business. Now he wanted to eat quickly. He had eaten too little at noon.

As Snape left, the door to the hall burst open.

"Oh, come with me, hahaha."

Dumbledore led the way, and the little wizards behind him followed Dumbledore in a floral robe like little black chicks.

"Oh my gosh, what an aesthetic that is, like a turkey, look at that exaggerated red hat."

Draco said with disdain, not hiding his disgust for Dumbledore in front of Bree.

"Don't look at me like this. I know you hate Dumbledore too. Aren't you happy to hear me say bad things about him?"

Does Bree hate Dumbledore?
No.

"I just don't like the path Dumbledore chose. Think about it for yourself. What would you do if you were in Dumbledore's position? People's choices are sometimes very helpless."

Bree's words made Draco raise an eyebrow.

"Indeed, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. Who would be willing to fight and kill all the time?" Draco thought seriously for a rare time. He quickly added: "I have seen the origin of the Malfoy family. I It's clear that the real victory is definitely not life and death."

After saying that, Draco felt inexplicably sad for a moment, but soon regained his arrogance and said: "But I don't think I will become friends with Potter. I would rather fight with him. Who can let him refuse?" I have lost Malfoy's friendship, and if I complimented him like everyone else, it would bring shame on Malfoy and make others look down upon Malfoy."

Losing is not terrible, what is terrible is surrendering without fighting. Draco gradually understood this truth, but understanding is understanding, whether to do it or not is another thing.

Draco looked at Bree, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Be careful about starting a family. Don't talk nonsense. This is not a good signal."

"I'll go and show you as much of the Malfoy family history as I can."

Draco patted Bree on the shoulder and said, "Friends recognized by Malfoy are hard-won. Don't let me down, Bree."

Bree couldn't help but look into Draco's eyes, which were gray, but at the moment concealed a nervous expression.

"Of course, Ode never betrays his recognized friends, and you are the first."

"Oh, the first one?" Draco said with an exaggerated but delighted expression: "What about your little badger?"

"Cedric is a friend who helps each other, but I don't tell him what I want to do." Cedric is an upstanding Hufflepuff, and Bree doesn't think he is attractive enough to ask him to help him with something. If something goes against his beliefs, just treat it as a good friend. This distance is the most comfortable.

Only Draco, this is what he came up with, Bree is willing to trust once, just once, Odd's trust is very expensive, I hope this Malfoy can pass his observation period.

"Hmm, that's about the same. Malfoy wants the best."

Draco was satisfied, but there was someone more satisfied than him.

"S…Snape!"

In the corner of the hall, Harry and Ron, who were about to sneak into the Gryffindor table, were caught!
Snape looked at Harry and Ron, whose clothes were messy and had many scratches, and said coldly: "You know what you two have done..."

"Now you need to use your small brains to think about how to explain to me why you didn't come here on the Hogwarts Express."

"Come with me now!"

Harry and Ron remained silent and did not dare to argue with Snape. They had just driven a modified car to school and were seen by many people.

Ron's face turned bitter, he felt like he was finished!

Harry blamed himself. If it hadn't been for him, maybe Ron wouldn't have volunteered to drive his father's car to school and had an accident when he landed.

Snape, who was about to take Harry and Ron to the small dark room, suddenly remembered what Professor McGonagall had just said about bonus points and minus points for fair treatment... He was originally worried about how to deduct points from Gryffindor for "justified" reasons. I'm worried about my score.

just now……

Snape suddenly stopped, causing Harry and Ron, who were lowering their heads and trying to fool them, to bump into his big, round butt bone.
