Chapter 394 Thestral Carriage

After the sumptuous dinner, everyone returned to their respective common rooms.

When Kyle was walking out of the hall, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"It seems that I came just in time."

Professor Dumbledore stood at the door of the hall. After seeing Kyle, he took him to the aisle on the side.

"Remember the letter you asked me to help deliver a few days ago?"

He said, "I received a reply from Nico at noon today. He asked me to deliver you during the holidays.

"So, do you want to borrow Fawkes? If it's you, it shouldn't refuse."

Not sure if it was an illusion, Kyle vaguely smelled a sour smell.

He shook his head and asked:

"... Is there any other way?"

If possible, Kyle didn't want to be carried by the phoenix. Although this is the fastest way, it's too barbaric... He couldn't accept it.

Professor Dumbledore thought for a while, "Of course, it will just be a little slower."

"It doesn't matter." Kyle said quickly, "I'm not in a hurry. "

"Okay then..."

The two talked for a while, and after a few minutes, Kyle returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

Because tomorrow is a holiday, all the students seemed very excited, sitting there and loudly discussing plans for the next two weeks.

Kyle did not participate in their discussion, but went straight back to the dormitory.

...

The next day, Kyle got up as usual. There was no one in the dormitory. He packed up his things and pushed open the door of the dormitory.

The common room was empty, only Connor was sitting in a chair near the fireplace, doing homework.

After hearing the noise, she raised her head casually and said:

"Hello, Winsty... Wait, Kyle?"

Connor was a little surprised, and then quickly jumped up from the chair, pulling Kyle to run out.

"Hurry, hurry up... I hope the train hasn't started yet." She said anxiously, "Really, why did you wake up now? I would have called you if I had known."

"Don't worry, it's okay. "

Kyle grabbed her arm and explained, "The train left ten minutes ago, and I have other plans, so I don't have to take the train."

"Other plans?" Connor looked at him in confusion, "Have you decided to stay in school too?"

"No." Kyle shook his head, "I just don't have to take the train. Remember Professor Dumbledore came to me yesterday, it was for this matter."

Hearing him say this, Connor breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to her previous seat.

"Why are you alone? Where's Cedric?" Kyle asked.

"He went out." Connor said, "He went out early in the morning and didn't say where he went.

"Are you the only one left here?"

"No, there's also Winsty, a fifth-year student."

Kyle nodded and went to the kitchen to get some food.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, but Cedric didn't come back. A brown owl flew in from the window and threw a note to Kyle.

"I have to go." Kyle looked at the content above, stood up and said:

"Have fun during the holidays, Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!"

Kyle did not go to Hogsmeade Station after leaving the common room, but turned a corner on a side road near the platform and came to the place where they took the carriage at the beginning of the school year.

This is a very remote place, and almost no one comes here on weekdays, but today is an exception.

"Kyle, this way!"

Hagrid seemed to have been waiting here, and waved his hand when he saw Kyle.

There was a carriage parked next to him.

Different from the one they took at the beginning of the school year, there were three Thestrals in front of this carriage.

"The principal told me that you might need this."

Hagrid patted the skinny wings of his Thestrals and said with a smile: "Are you going home?

"Your choice is great, what Hogwarts Express, the Thestrals carriage is the best means of transportation.

"But remember to take good care of them when you get home. I've put food for these little guys in the carriage, enough for them to eat for two weeks."

"Thank you, Hagrid." Kyle stepped forward and said with a smile: "But I didn't borrow the Thestrals just to avoid taking the train... and Professor Dumbledore would not agree to such a request.

"It's just that the place I'm going to is a bit hidden. Neither the train nor the Knight Bus can get there. I can only choose this more ancient way of travel."

"Is that so? No wonder..."

Hagrid didn't ask where Kyle was going, but just asked: "Have you taken this kind of transportation before?"

"No." Kyle shook his head.

He didn't know if there were any Thestrals in Newt's box, maybe there were... but he had never seen them, let alone riding in a Thestral carriage.

After all, he hadn't been able to see this magical animal until the last two years.

After Kyle got on the carriage, Hagrid handed him the reins.

"Relax, they are very smart, and the carriage is safe enough. All you have to do is trust them. "

When Kyle grabbed the reins, the middle Thestral looked back at him and made a short cry, as if asking when to set off.

"Any time." Kyle said, "You know the location, right?"

The Thestral nodded and spread its wings suddenly.

The fallen leaves on the ground were blown everywhere. After the carriage sped forward for a distance, it suddenly took off and flew into the sky.

Kyle stuck his head out of the carriage. Hagrid was standing there waving his arms, and Kyle waved his hand back.

The carriage was moving very fast, and Hagrid's figure became smaller and smaller until he could no longer see it after turning a corner.

The carriage shuttled through the clouds, flying over mountains, villages, and then bustling towns and cities...

But no matter where it went, the people below did not notice anything unusual.

Kyle noticed that there were several hidden magic runes in the carriage that lighted up slightly. If he was not mistaken, it should mean "hidden".

Two hours later, Kyle also saw the Hogwarts Express.

Looking down from his current position, the train was as small as a toy. The Thestrals quickly chased from the rear to the front of the train, and then left it far behind.

No wonder Hagrid looked down on the Hogwarts Express before. Just from the point of speed, the Thestrals are the winner.

There is also no comparison in terms of comfort.

At such a high speed, and still flying, Kyle in the carriage did not feel any bumps at all.

It felt like sitting in the castle's hall.

Until the train disappeared from sight, Kyle did not look outside again.

Mainly because the clouds were getting thicker as he went forward.

Just now, he just opened a little gap, and the cold and humid air outside would hit his face in large clumps. That feeling was really not very comfortable.
