Chapter 718： Strange carriage

Finally, the train slowed down slowly, and there was chaos and noisy all around. Everyone was busy, putting their luggage and pets together, and getting off the car.

They dragged their heavy steps out of the box and joined the flow of people in the aisle. The cold rain, mixed with the night air, blew a sting on people's faces.

They moved slowly toward the door, and the line was a slow forward. People could even smell the fragrance of the pine trees on both sides of the path leading to the lake.

"First-year freshmen come here, first-year freshmen come here."

A completely unfamiliar voice, a neat female voice, was yelling: "First-year freshmen, please line up here! All first-year freshmen will come with me!"

Harry forgot to use magic to block the rain, he asked curiously, "Where is Hagrid?"

"I arranged for him to contact the giant, he probably hasn't come back yet." George said slowly.

Before the summer vacation, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim went to contact the giant, and they have not yet returned. As for their specific situation, it was Dumbledore who was looking after them, and George didn't pay much attention.

He gently raised his hand, a gleam of light was like opening a transparent barrier. The wind and rain couldn't get in in front of him, and they were all blocked in front of him.

Only then did Harry react and hurriedly added the protection of the magic barrier to himself. A foamy barrier blocked the cold wind and rain.

At this time, a lantern moved swayingly towards this side. With its light, George saw a meticulous witch, she was Professor Grapland.

The witch had taken the place of Hagrid the previous year and had taken a class of protecting magical creatures for a period of time, which was well received by all the students. And this year, George has decided to let him replace Hagrid and officially become the teacher in the class of protecting magical creatures.

However, in this form of this year, the leisure courses such as the conservation of magical creatures cannot be taken several times in a semester.

These courses that cannot improve the students' strength can only be used this year to ease everyone's mood, just like extracurricular activities.

They continued to walk forward following the flow of people, when they came to the rain-washed dark street outside Hogsmeade station.

When they got there, many students yelled.

There are a hundred carriages on the street, and every year they send students above grade one to the castle.

Today, when many students see the usual carriages, their expressions have changed drastically. They pointed to those carriages and exclaimed.

"What the **** is that?"

"It's terrible, there is no meat at all, it's all bones, what kind of monster is this."

"Why use this kind of monster to pull the cart? In the past, the cart could drive automatically?"

"What are you talking about? There is nothing there, or is it the same as usual?"

"No, you can't see such big monsters. They are bigger than horses and have wings. Have you not seen them?"

"What's the matter? Don't be kidding. It's still raining outside. The people in front get in the car quickly."

The students in the back urged the students in front to get on the bus. Some students in the front seemed to be hell, their feet were rooted in the ground and they didn't dare to move.

All of a sudden, the whole team stopped and became noisy.

"be quiet!"

There is a calming magic in George's voice.

"Have you forgotten your identity?" His flat voice was stern, "You are wizards, haven't you seen any magical creatures?"

"These Ye Ji have been pulling carts in the past years. The reason why you couldn't see it before was because you didn't meet the conditions. Now you can see Ye Ji because the conditions are met. You don't care about what you can see, let alone what you can't see."

He raised his volume a bit and said sternly, "Now, get in the car and go back to school."

These Hogwarts carriages have always been pulled by Ye Ji.

Yeji is a special kind of magical creature. They look a bit like horses, but they look more like reptiles. They have no flesh at all, their black fur is tightly attached to the skeleton, and every bone is clearly visible.

Their heads are very similar to those of dragons, their eyes without pupils are as dead white as fish eyes, and they have wings like giant bats.

In addition to its terrifying appearance, Ye Ji also has a very special characteristic that only people who have seen death can see it.

In previous years, most students had never seen death, and naturally most of them couldn't see Ye Ji. They only thought that these cars would automatically leave after using magic.

Last year, Cedric was killed in front of all the students. Most of the students witnessed the killing of their classmates.

So this year, most of the students could see Ye Ji, and the shock in front of them made them still not react.

As for the few people who can't see Ye Ji, they can only say their nerves are too big.

"Yeji, I have read in the book. This is a rare and rare magical creature." Hermione looked at the terrifying monster in front of the carriage with a surprised look. "Unexpectedly, they have been pulling the carriage here. , We have not seen it before."

With George's explanation, the other students slowly reacted.

The students who couldn't see Yeji stared, trying to see something in front of the carriage, but they got nothing and had to get into the carriage at the urging of others.

And those who can see Ye Ji, with a trace of disgust and fear, cautiously passed in front of this terrible monster. They quickly climbed into the carriage and stopped looking at the terrible monster.

Seeing that everyone else got in the carriage, and after making sure that there was no omission, George got into the last carriage.

The carriages lined up, creaking and staggering on the road under Yeji's ticking footsteps.

Passing two rows of tall stone pillars leading to the school grounds, Hogwarts Castle vaguely got closer and closer, and the towering towers appeared darker against the dark night sky.

Occasionally, a window was visible, shining a bright red light above their heads.

The carriage stopped clanging locally, beside the stone steps leading to the oak gate.

The students gathered again and hurried up the stone steps into the castle.

The hall was illuminated by torches, echoing the footsteps of the students. They crossed the slab-paved ground and walked to the two doors leading to the auditorium on the right, where the school banquet was held.

The auditorium was full of four long college dining tables with a dark ceiling without stars. At this time, it was raining outside, and magic could not reflect the stars on such a night.
