Chapter 647 Lucius Malfoy
In the evening, the sky that had been brewing for a week suddenly began to snow. By Monday morning, the ground was completely covered with snow.
At breakfast, Hagrid reappeared in the teacher's seat, but the applause to welcome him was not very enthusiastic, especially at the Slytherin table, there was no sound at all, which was in sharp contrast to the excited Gryffindor.
But even among Gryffindors, not everyone likes Hagrid. Some girls prefer Professor Grubbly-Plank's class.
Because Professor Grubbly-Plank won't come up with a surprise from time to time... or it would be more appropriate to scare.
Thorns are always safer than fire crabs, and they are definitely something.
…
The sixth grade has a Care of Magical Creatures class this morning, and it is also the first class Hagrid has given them since he came back.
After the first spell class, Kyle and Connor stepped on two feet of snow and came to the wooden house by the Forbidden Forest.
After seeing Hagrid, almost everyone subconsciously took a breath.
He looks a little too scary now.
There were wounds on his face, his hair was messy and untidy, and some feathers of unknown animals could be vaguely seen.
More importantly, Hagrid was carrying half a cow on his shoulders, and drops of blood fell on the ground, dyeing the snow red. The scene was indescribably weird.
"I really still like Professor Grubbly-Plank more." There were subtle discussions in the crowd.
But Hagrid didn't seem to hear it.
"Come on, follow me, we're here for class today." Hagrid led them into the dense forest, but didn't go deep, and stopped after about a minute.
"Are you ready?" Hagrid put the half cow on the ground with a grunt, and happily glanced at all the students, "Don't get too excited later, the animals we're going to study today are very rare, and I think I may be the only one in the UK who has tamed them...
"Oh, look, they're coming.
"What is it, where is it?" There was another round of discussion in the crowd.
In most people's eyes, there was nothing in the forest, unless the Bowtruckles on both sides were counted.
But they had learned about this kind of animal long ago, and it was obviously impossible for them.
"Ah!"
At this time, a scream suddenly broke the silence.
A Ravenclaw girl was staring with her eyes wide open, pointing her finger forward in horror, "You...you look..."
The classmates looked in the direction of her finger, and then more people screamed.
There, pieces of meat were automatically peeling off from the bones and disappearing into the air, which was so strange that it made people feel cold all over.
Many people subconsciously wanted to run away from the Forbidden Forest.
But a small number of people saw another situation.
What they saw was a group of huge, winged black horses, lowering their heads and biting half a cow on the ground with their fangs.
And they were not unfamiliar with this kind of animal. Every year at the beginning of the school year, it was them who pulled the carriage to send students to the castle.
"Thestrals!" Hagrid said proudly, "Can anyone see them?"
A few hands were raised, about six or seven people.
"A little more than I thought." Hagrid said seriously, "So does anyone want to come up and touch them? This is a rare opportunity."
Now, all the people who had raised their hands before put their hands down. Whether they were visible or invisible, they all showed a complete refusal to touch the Thestrals.
Kyle wanted to give Hagrid a face and help him out, but at this moment, he saw a person on the other side of the Forbidden Forest. In just a blink of an eye, the other person disappeared again.
"Professor Hagrid." Kyle raised his hand.
"Well... I knew you..."
"Sorry, Professor Hagrid." Kyle interrupted him, "I may have dropped something on the road. Can I go and look for it?"
Hagrid's face quickly showed a hint of disappointment, but he still nodded, "Okay, no problem."
"Thank you, Professor." Kyle said, then left the crowd and walked in the direction he came from.
When he turned around, he saw Umbridge, who was walking towards him with the familiar writing board.
She didn't ask Kyle what he was going to do, but just walked straight towards Hagrid.
This is good, so he doesn't have to find excuses.
Thinking of this, Kyle didn't stop and continued to walk forward. When he came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Kyle stopped in front of a huge pear tree.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps next to him.
"Long time no see, so glad to see you at school." Kyle turned his head and smiled, "Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
Lucius Malfoy stood on the side, his face was livid, and his hands were tightly holding his snake staff. If Kyle hadn't spoken just now, he might have done something.
"I'm kindly reminding you, Mr. Lucius," Kyle continued, "This is Hogwarts. If I get hurt, even if I get a little scratch, you won't be able to leave here."
"Dumbledore is not in school." Malfoy said hoarsely, "This threat is useless."
"You can try." Kyle said with a smile, "And I don't understand, are you so happy that Dumbledore is not in school? I thought you would be nervous."
Lucius picked up his snake stick again, but finally put it down slowly.
"What on earth do you want to do!" he growled: "I don't believe you dare to attack Draco in Hogwarts. Dumbledore will not let you go."
"You just said that he was not in school." Kyle said, "Besides, I didn't do anything to Draco Malfoy... Oh, even though you wanted to arrest me to take credit for the night when your master was resurrected, But that’s all in the past, and I’ve forgiven you a long time ago.”
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Lucius said coldly.
Of course he knew what Kyle was talking about.
On the day Voldemort was resurrected, when Dumbledore sent Kyle and Harry down the mountain, he happened to run down the mountain in order to escape for his life.
He did think about taking Kyle and Harry away and asking Voldemort to take credit, but Kyle also wanted to kill him.
Even now, whenever Lucius thinks of the severed tree next to him at that time, he can't stop trembling all over.
Of course, this cannot be admitted.
"Don't try to slander me." He added.
"Okay, let's forget it." Kyle shrugged, "Then what are you worried about? Sorry, I still have to go to class."
Kyle raised his legs to leave.
"etc!"
Lucius quickly took two steps forward and blocked the front, "Draco doesn't know anything."
"I said, I won't do anything to him." Kyle explained patiently: "We are good friends. I just went to visit him a few days ago. You also saw that I peeled him off." The chocolate frog.
"We get along very well."
This was not a perfunctory remark to Lucius. Although he was not a moral model like Professor Dumbledore, he would not take his anger out on Draco.
If he really wanted to do this, he could do it right after school started, there was no need to wait until now.
"You swear..." Lucius stopped Kyle again, "No, we have to make an unbreakable oath... I promise you won't..."
"Unbreakable Vow?" Kyle narrowed his eyes, "Are you going a little too far, Mr. Lucius, or do you think I am the kind of good guy with no bottom line?"
Subconsciously, Lucius pulled out his wand from the snake staff.
Kyle still didn't move, and just said as a reminder: "You have to think clearly, do you really want to do this? This is the Forbidden Forest..."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Lucius vaguely heard a dull growl.
The next second, he felt tense all over, as if he was being targeted by something terrible. As long as he made the slightest move, the other party would pounce on him.
Lucius trusted his instincts, which had saved him many times over the past few decades.
For the first time, he looked seriously at the sixth-year Hogwarts student, and saw a very familiar feeling in him, much like a person, a person who would be frightened just by hearing his name.
But to some extent, they were completely different. At least his first impression of Kyle was definitely not fear.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about taking credit for Kyle's arrest when he was at the bottom of the mountain.
Why do monsters like this always appear in Hogwarts... Lucius felt very complicated.
But he didn't have time to think about this now. The roar was getting clearer and clearer, and Lucius could even smell a faint sweet smell.
In an instant, Lucius made an immediate decision. He slowly turned the wand, loosened his grip, and threw it to the ground.
The low roar disappeared, and he could feel the faint smell of grass in the air again in the Forbidden Forest, but the feeling of threat did not disappear.
