Chapter 227 She Is Over Now
"Thestrals, 3x magical creatures, can only be seen by those who have witnessed death, understood death, and accepted each other's death." Hermione found that the three of them had become interested in thestrals, so she told them what she knew, "Thestrals There is no flesh on their bodies, just like black leather wrapped around the skeleton, their heads are like dragons, and they have a pair of big bat-like wings."
"Why has my family never mentioned this to me?" Ron was a little puzzled. He was born in a wizard family, and he was instilled with knowledge about various magical animals and creatures since he was a child. Several times in a carriage pulled by a Thestral!"
"It's right if you haven't heard of it. The appearance of thestrals is creepy. It is considered weird and ominous by wizards, so few people will take the initiative to mention them. Some superstitious wizards even think that thestrals are very unlucky. It can bring disaster to those who see them." After Hermione finished speaking, she looked at Neville who was in a daze, his face was a little pale, probably recalling something bad, after all, he could see thestrals.
"Neville, are you okay?" Hermione patted Neville's shoulder lightly, "Shall we talk about something else?"
"No, it's okay, I just thought of my grandpa." Neville came back to his senses, his face was a little dark, "it should be because of grandpa's death, so I can see thestrals."
"Although thestrals look scary, they are very loyal and will not actively attack wizards and ordinary people. They are actually a kind of flying horse, which is very suitable for long-distance flying. After being domesticated, thestrals can even help their masters attack enemies," said He Min patiently explained to Neville, "They are very kind. I heard from Macon that Dumbledore has a wand in his hand, which is made of thestral tail hair. It has powerful magic power."
"Thank you, Hermione. I actually panic every time I get in the carriage, and I dare not look at them." Neville breathed a sigh of relief. The Thestral's appearance is really terrifying and huge. "I'm always worried that it will Take me away in one bite, and then eat me in a corner where there is no one."
"Ha, Neville, you should have the courage to face it, do you want to exercise like us?" Ron rolled up his cuffs, showing him the bulging muscles on his arms, "Look, Buckbeak lost on this one."
"..." Neville.
Little wizards entered the auditorium one after another. This year's sorting ceremony was very different from previous years, because all the flags hanging around the auditorium turned into a golden background, surrounded by some patterns that they could not understand, a lifelike black cat squatting on the flag In the middle, the pair of yellow and green pupils are piercing, and as soon as they enter the auditorium, it seems that the eyes of all the black cats on the flags are staring at themselves, moving as they move.
On the professor's seat, Macon was sitting on the right of Professor McGonagall. All the little wizards were very curious about why he was sitting there, and why the college flag was replaced with his black cat pattern.
"The speech for the new semester, I want to mention that it will be done before the sorting ceremony," Dumbledore saw that the freshmen had entered the auditorium, got up and walked to the podium, "At the beginning of the establishment of Hogwarts, the four founders founded The four colleges have lasted for more than 1000 years, and today! We, Hogwarts, will open the fifth college! A black cat college that focuses on alchemy and has the same status as the four colleges, founded by the former Hogwarts Student, current second-class Merlin Medal winner, heir to the greatest contemporary alchemy master Nicole Flamel, the silent man of the Ministry of Magic—Macon! Served as the head of the Black Cat Academy."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, the little wizard below applauded excitedly!This is really cool!Haven't graduated yet!Become a professor!Still the dean!What's even cooler is that he is also the founder of Black Cat Academy!
Some people have heard of the name of Nicole Flamel, and some people have not, but the title of the greatest alchemy master of the contemporary era leaves them speechless. What kind of person can be called the greatest contemporary alchemy master? of?The headmaster in front of him is one of them. It is a title that can only be obtained by those who stand at the top of the pyramid and who have made extraordinary contributions and significance to the entire wizarding world.
And Macon also has a mysterious identity, the silent man!No one knows what they do. In the wizarding world, you can offend the Aurors, but you can't offend the Silent Man. You can't even send the Silent Man to the Wizengamot. This belongs to the Ministry of Magic, but A mysterious institution that is completely out of the control of the Ministry of Magic is the most dreaded.
Dumbledore obviously missed a lot of Macon's other achievements, such as the black and white cat doll house, the alchemy doll that everyone in the wizarding world knows, and the popularity of the floating city because of the appearance of Voldemort recently. The master, that is the sky palace they just watched Macon build!
Except for the divination professor Trelawney and a toad-like witch in pink clothes, the other professors also clapped their hands, especially Professor McGonagall, whose face turned red with joy. Yes, with that energy, she was even happier than when she became the dean herself.
"Quiet! Be quiet!" Dumbledore stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling them to be quiet first, and continued, "Alchemy has been changed from an elective course to a compulsory course. First, the alchemy courses for grades one to five will be opened. Your dean has redistributed, because the sixth and seventh grades have to face the ultimate wizard exam——NEWTs, so everything is as usual, so far, the sorting ceremony has been changed from the previous four major colleges to the current five major colleges."
The wizards in the sixth and seventh grades were disappointed when they heard that they could not go to Macon's lecture, and they all booed, but they were relieved after thinking about it. They can take the Alchemy class in the sixth grade, and naturally they will not start over from what they have learned If you don't take this course, you don't have the energy to add another compulsory course.
"In addition, I would also like to say that there are two personnel changes this year. First, our professor of protection of magical creatures, Rubeus Hagrid, has asked for leave due to something, so he will be replaced by Professor Wilmina Graplan. , our Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, will be the Senior Undersecretary for Magic, Professor Dolores Umbridge."
"I've seen this person before. She sat next to Fudge in the courtroom, she looked obsequious." Harry said to Ron, staring at Umbridge.
"Isn't that great? Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, what a pity." Ron gnawed on the drumstick, glanced at her, and then looked away, "It's like a pink toad."
"Let us all wish the two professors good luck..."
"Hmm!~"
A strange voice came, it was Umbridge, she stood up for a long time, but she found that Dumbledore didn't notice her, so she could only make a sound to try to attract attention.
Dumbledore instantly understood that the other party was too short, there was not much difference between standing up and sitting down, but he didn't understand why he interrupted his speech.
"Oh, it's over for her now," Ron said to Harry, spitting out the chicken bone in his mouth. "She's interrupted Dumbledore's blessing now, and it's probably hard for her to survive a year."
"Why?" Harry was taken aback by Ron's words.
"I found that every time Dumbledore announced a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he would bless them, but none of the professors could survive a year," Ron said with a mysterious face, "This position is scary. There is no vicious black magic!"
