Chapter 169 It won’t waste too much time

"Come up"

Ivan said to Parvati and Lavender, feeling deeply that today's little wizards are really precocious. They are already thinking about forming a CP when they are only twelve or thirteen years old.

After the two people climbed up and sat down, the carriage that had been stalled for a long time finally started slowly. It seemed that they had reached the starting standard.

The carriage pulled by the Yeqi was not very fast, and it made a creaking sound when moving. It was swaying so much that Ivan, who was sitting on it, felt a little uncomfortable, but it was still bearable.

Parvati and Lavender, who got on the carriage, curiously continued to ask about the Thestral.

Ivan had no choice but to explain to them the habits and properties of the Thestral.

"You mean that only people who have witnessed death with their own eyes can see this kind of creature? Then how do we know whether the Thestral you are talking about really exists?" Parvati asked doubtfully.

Although Hermione couldn't see the Thestral, she had no doubts about Ivan's statement. She just felt that she hadn't read enough books and hadn't seen the introduction of this creature.

"The Yeqi can't see it, but it should be okay to touch it." Ivan thought for a while and said.

Lavender, who was extremely courageous, suddenly stood up, leaned out of the carriage and touched the position of the reins in front. His palm soon touched a long, whip-like thing, which might be a tail.

"Oh my God, there really is a Thestral!" Lavender exclaimed in shock.

Parvati was also a little curious after hearing this, and followed Lavender's example and reached out to touch it.

Seeing the bold actions of the two little witches, Ivan quickly stopped them.

"The Thestral is a very dangerous creature. Don't touch it now. This guy can fly. What if we anger it and throw us into the sky with a carriage?"

Parvati quickly retracted her hand, but there was still a smile on her lips, obviously she still touched it.

"Are they so dangerous? Can they bite?" Lavender asked.

Ivan nodded without hesitation, and casually told about the fact that Thestrals are attracted to raw meat and blood, and also described the appearance of the Thestrals, which was extremely terrifying.

Although Ivan knows that the Thestrals in the school have been domesticated, they are very docile and generally do not attack people.

But Parvati and Lavender couldn't see the Thestral at all, and they were just kids. What if they got addicted to playing with the Thestral on a whim and touched places they shouldn't?

No matter how docile the Thestral is, it is still a magical creature classified as dangerous by the Ministry of Magic. There is no problem in simply confirming its existence, but it is best not to lose vigilance.

After some threats from Ivan, Parvati and Lavender completely gave up the idea of ​​touching the Thestral again.

However, Ivan did not see Hermione sitting next to him, and wanted to touch the Thestral, but upon hearing his words, the little witch quietly retracted her hand and looked at him resentfully.

The carriage drove smoothly on the path, following the long motorcade in front of it. The four people sat in the car chatting, or Ivan listened to the other people chatting and gossiping, while Hermione was a little worried with Harry and Ron. The safety of the people was just a casual comment.

More than half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped beside the stone steps leading to the oak door.

When they arrived at the castle, it was already night, there was no moon in the sky, and the light from the stars was very dim. The few people could only follow the guidance of the street lights and the crowd.

"Ivan, what's wrong?" Hermione walked a few steps and found that Ivan had not followed. He was still standing by the car, reaching out and stroking something.

This reminded Hermione of the Thestral that Ivan had talked about.

Ivan retracted his hand. He suddenly became interested because he thought that the Yeqi seemed to be a good magical creature, and he didn't know what kind of abilities he would gain by merging the blood of the Yeqi.

Obtain a body invisible to ordinary people?

Just as Ivan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Hermione's questioning voice. He turned his head with a smile and said.

"Hermione, couldn't you confirm whether the Thestral exists?"

"But you just said that the Thestral is a dangerous magical creature, and it's best not to touch it casually?" Hermione said hesitantly, feeling somewhat moved.

"This is generally true, but the Thestrals here are well tamed. As long as you are careful, there is no danger. I just lied to them," Ivan explained.

At the same time, Ivan looked at Parvati and Lavender in the distance.

The two little Gryffindor witches had obviously signaled that Ivan and Hermione had not followed. Parvati wanted to go back to where she was and ask what was going on, but was dragged away by the sensible Lavender. Got it

Hermione hesitated for a moment, remembering that Harry and Ron were still in danger.

"It only takes a few seconds, it won't waste too much time," Ivan continued. He estimated that Harry and Ron were currently fighting the Whomping Willow.

After all, the speed of the magic car was not slow. It arrived almost at the same time as the train. When they were on the carriage, this thing should have landed.

Even if they go to inform the professors now, it's too late

Hermione then put aside her worries and ran over quickly, with a hint of curiosity and excitement in her eyes. Thinking of the various terrifying words Ivan had described before, she stretched out her hand tremblingly.

She was a little worried about whether she would be bitten.

Ivan smiled, put his palm on the back of Hermione's hand, and guided her to the left front, which was also the place he had touched just now, which should be the location of the Thestral's wings.

Realizing that her hand was being held by Ivan, the little witch's cheeks turned slightly red. She pretended not to care, but her eyes quietly glanced around.

The nearby students had almost left at this time, and the remaining people did not look towards them. Hermione quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the touch from her palm made Hermione's eyes widen.

rough, cold

There seemed to be nothing in front of her, but she touched a thin layer of something like leather, which was covered with bones and was very hard.

Hermione experienced this magical feeling;

Suddenly, both of them felt something licking their hands, and the backs of their hands felt numb and itchy.

Hermione was startled at first, but fortunately, she quickly thought that it was the Thestral's tongue, and guessed that the other party might be showing kindness to them.

It seems that this creature is not as scary as Ivan said before, Hermione thought to herself.

"Okay, I've touched it, let's go." Ivan withdrew his hand, stared at the empty surroundings, and said.

"Ah, it's been delayed for so long! Harry and Ron are still in the car." Hermione's face changed as she also realized this, and she quickly took Ivan's arm and ran towards the castle.
