In an open space in the Forbidden Forest.
Felix was very satisfied as he looked at the Thestrals he had caught with half a bloody dead cow.
"It seems you like the secret Hagrid told me?" Felix said. The two Thestrals leaned down, exposing their bony necks, and lowered their heads to bite the dead beef. "He also said that you are very smart, so you must be able to understand what I say... I need a little help from you."
The Thestrals said nothing and enjoyed the food silently. Although they are omnivores and accept grass, fruits, and meat, they don't eat fresh beef every day. While talking, another Thestral cautiously poked its head out from the woods, looking at its two companions and the strange wizard, hesitating whether to come out.
The sound of eating kept attracting the new Thestral, and it soon joined in.
Felix seized the opportunity and put a hand into the mane of the Thestral closest to him. He felt that he touched a layer of tough and thick skin. Underneath, there were only bones and no meat.
The Thestral raised its head uneasily and stared at Felix with its silver eyes.
"Eat it, eat it." He said with a smile, and patted its bald head. The eyes were like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit. The Thestral shook its long black tail and lowered its head to bite the dead beef with its sharp teeth.
The new Thestral was a little panicked at first, and spread its huge wings vigilantly. As a result, Felix and his companions ignored it. After a long stalemate, it seemed to think that its behavior was a bit boring and far less important than the food on the ground. So when Felix touched its smooth and hairless body, it just snorted.
Felix smiled slightly and his body began to change shape.
...
"I still can't accept it. In my opinion, this is more like Beedle the Bard's mockery of the legend of the Deathly Hallows. None of the three brothers escaped death in the end. Even the third brother who got the invisibility cloak just calmly welcomed the arrival of death. Their role is not even as good as a philosopher's stone. At least Nico Flamel really lived for more than 600 years!"
Hermione, Luna and Ginny walked on the path at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, arguing about the topic just now.
"That's because they haven't been recognized." Luna said in an ethereal voice.
"What recognition?"
"I don't know." Luna said dreamily, "Maybe it's some kind of ritual, or a pre-designed practical method, or," she looked blankly into Hermione and Ginny's eyes, "According to my father, only by possessing the three Hallows at the same time can you master their power."
Although Hermione's face showed an expression of extreme disapproval, she still asked calmly: "Is it the strange symbol you showed?"
"Maybe." Luna said.
"Let's talk about something else," Ginny said hurriedly. She had little interest in this topic. "Luna, do you have a bone whistle with you?"
"Yes," Luna said happily. She took out a thin rope woven with grass stems from her neck, on which was tied a gray-white whistle.
Hermione took a look. "Is it the one Hagrid gave us?"
"Yes," Luna said, "It can summon the small animals raised by Hagrid, but there are no dangerous creatures on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Sometimes I use it to attract unicorns and thestrals... and Firenze." After saying that, she looked around curiously, with a guilty look: "Don't tell Firenze, he will be unhappy."
"Can centaurs hear this sound?" Hermione asked with great interest. This is an interesting piece of knowledge.
"Of course." Luna said seriously: "But he may not be nearby. We can try a few places."
They passed through a bush and faintly smelled the smell of blood. Luna pushed aside a large branch, revealing six or seven thestrals gathered together in the open space.
"Wow, what good luck." Luna said.
"Someone has been here," Hermione stared at the dead cow with only half a skeleton left on the ground, and said to herself, "Was it Hagrid? But it's unlikely that he would focus on other animals at this time. He is dealing with a huge problem..."
Luna had already jumped to the open space and greeted the Thestrals enthusiastically.
The Thestrals were already familiar with her, and just raised their eyes to look at her, then lowered their heads to enjoy their meal, allowing Luna to stroke it.
Ginny stared at the piece of beef on the ground. She couldn't see the Thestrals, but could only see pieces of meat falling off the bones and disappearing into the air. Then came the creepy chewing sound. "This feeling is terrible, as if there is an invisible mouth full of fangs in the air, and you don't know when it will take the initiative to walk in front of it..."
"This Thestrals is so strange." Hermione said. Luna turned her head and looked at the unique Thestrals. It lay quietly on the ground. Somehow, the two of them could see a calm temperament from its skinny face. Its eyes were half closed, and it didn't show any surprise or uneasiness about their arrival.
"Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before." Luna squatted in front of it and asked in a low voice.
The Thestrals glanced at her and closed their eyes completely, as if they didn't want to pay attention to her.
Luna skillfully picked up a handful of grass from the ground and handed it to the Thestrals' mouth. The Thestrals moved their mouth away and looked at them with disdain.
"Oh, aren't you hungry?"
"Luna, the books say that the Thestrals are dangerous, even those in the Forbidden Forest have been trained by Hagrid," Hermione said. When she thought of the giant Acromantula and the giant Grawp that Hagrid kept in the Forbidden Forest, she didn't have any confidence in the 'safety' he talked about.
The bone whistle that Hagrid gave her was placed in the innermost layer of the beaded bag. She didn't think she would ever use it.
"But I feel it's very friendly," Luna said, blinking her light-colored eyes, and said to the Thestrals lying on the ground: "Isn't it?"
The Thestrals suddenly opened their mouths wide at her, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and made a "woooo woooo" sound, which scared the three of them. Ginny staggered back and looked at the air blankly: "What's wrong?"
Even the Thestrals that had been eating stopped and looked over here.
"They are very friendly, aren't they?" Hermione asked sharply.
Luna didn't answer. She looked at the Thestrals carefully. "It's strange. You give me a completely different feeling. There are so many disturbances flying overhead... Eh? They disappeared all of a sudden." Luna said blankly.
"Let's go, Luna, let's go somewhere else... or come back another day." Hermione took Luna and Ginny away. Luna was reluctant to leave the unique Thestrals. "Maybe I can become friends with it. It may be the king of the group of Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest..."
In the last scene, the Thestrals stood up from the ground and walked into the depths of the dense forest with other Thestrals.
"Look, its walking posture is also very different."
After a while, Felix came out from another part of the Forbidden Forest, wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, and felt that what happened today was extremely strange.
The next two weeks were calm, except that he met Snape in the corridor one afternoon. Snape warned him: "I told the information about the 'Elder Wand' to that person, and he didn't let me participate in the subsequent things. It seems that he has other plans."
Hearing this, Felix took the time to return to Diagon Alley and checked the Sword Castle from top to bottom. The entire defense system was running well and everything was normal.
At the end of September, the weather began to turn cool. It was another weekend. Felix and Valen appeared in the hall. They each wore a scarf. Valen sat on a pile of thick books and enjoyed the steaming pumpkin pie. Felix had already cut the pumpkin pie considerately.
After finishing all this, Felix was keenly aware of the discussion in the hall and the strange eyes looking at him.
"What's going on?" He called a student who was about to leave the dining table.
The student first glanced at his chest, waist and pockets curiously, as if looking for something, and then handed him a newspaper. "You'd better take a look at the front page, Professor Hepp." The student said.
Felix opened the newspaper. The front-page headline of the Daily Prophet surprised him a little. It was called "The Top Ten Wands in History."
"Chuck!" Valen shouted.
So he spread the newspaper on the table and read it carefully with Valen:
"The importance of the wand to wizards is beyond doubt. Since the day the wand was born, there has been no shortage of legends about powerful wands. People talk about these rumors with relish. In people's cognition, powerful wands are closely related to powerful wizards, but whether it is the wizard who made the wand famous or the wand that made the wizard powerful, we cannot draw an accurate conclusion yet.
But as we all know, Mr. Ollivander, the most prestigious wand maker in Europe, has a famous saying: The wand chooses the wizard. Wandology also believes that every wand is different, which makes us wonder: Are there really wands that are born extraordinary? They are like unknown treasures, quietly lying in the velvet box of the wand shop, waiting for a master who deserves it? The author
has read a lot of information and found the ten most prestigious wands in history from the pile of old papers, and ranked them according to the influence of the wand owners for your reference.
Note: The wands of some great wizards in history are not famous because they have never deliberately declared the role of the wand in promoting their great achievements, so they are not included in the scope of consideration for the time being.
Tenth place: Death Stick, unknown length, elder, unknown wand core material;
its owner is the notorious black wizard Loxias, who killed the "terrible wizard" Barnabas Devriel by despicable means, obtained his wand, and named it the Death Stick. Since then, he has conquered all opponents who are against him. It is said that every time he defeated his opponent, Loxias would fondly caress his new wand and loudly proclaim that his wand was the incarnation of the god of death. His classic saying is: Face me, death.
He died in a tavern, and the murderer is unknown. Because of his cruel and tyrannical character, he was very unpopular. Many people claimed that they had killed him, but no one could take out this wand.
Ninth place: Old Hammer Wand...
Eighth place: Godlot's wand;
this wand is famous because its owner regards it as a partner and even a mentor. He used the power of the wand and his own knowledge to write "The Most Poisonous Magic". Godlot called his wand "my most evil and mysterious friend."
Seventh place, Salazar Slytherin's snakewood wand, unknown length, snakewood, basilisk horn wand core;
in this example, the wizard and the wand are equally famous, and their combination frightened the wizards at the time. It is said that when Slytherin was young, he held a snakewood wand and commanded a group of snakes. Many wizards did not even have the courage to approach him (except his good friend Gryffindor), and from a certain moment, the wand in his hand turned into a cane. According to the pictures and materials handed down, there was a basilisk wrapped around the cane. When the basilisk opened its eyes, the enemy died.
The whereabouts of this wand is currently unknown. Note: Among the four founders of Hogwarts, only Salazar Slytherin has descendants, so this wand may have been passed down to a certain branch.
Sixth place, the Wand of Destiny, unknown length, unknown wood, unknown wand core;
the owner of the wand is an unknown wizard, whose active time is even shorter than that of Loxias. A hooded black wizard challenged the most prestigious duelists of the time in just three months, and there were few survivors. But three months later, the challenge came to an abrupt end. There are rumors that the body of the suspected challenger appeared in a stinking ditch, but it cannot be used as evidence.
When he killed a strong man, he said in a low voice: I am with destiny. So his wand is also called the Wand of Destiny.
The whereabouts of this wand are unknown.
Fifth place: Morgan Le Fay's wand (Mojiana), the wand information is unknown;
King Arthur's half-sister, Merlin's enemy, ruled the island of Avalon as a queen, and a considerable part of her power came from her own magical power.
Fourth place: Merlin's staff, unknown length and wand core, made of British oak;
Merlin's fame is enough to explain everything.
Third place, Gellert Grindelwald's wand, information unknown;
the reason why this wand is remembered has a lot to do with its owner. It is rumored that the Dark Lord once described his wand as "the best one", and judging from what he did afterwards, this is quite convincing.
This wand disappeared with the earth-shaking battle in 1945. It may have been destroyed in the battle, or kept by the British Ministry of Magic, or hidden in the hands of a saint.
Second place, the wand of "He Who Must Not Be Named", thirteen and a half inches, yew wood, phoenix feather wand core;
as we all know, the number of wands with phoenix feather wand cores is rare and powerful, and each one is an excellent work. The wand core of "He Who Must Not Be Named" is phoenix feather. The view of wandology believes that the yew wood wand will give the holder the power to control life and death. Coupled with the powerful and widely adaptable characteristics of phoenix feathers, this wand can undoubtedly carry powerful power. It is no wonder that it chose that person at first sight, which is simply an accurate prophecy.
It is speculated that this wand was destroyed fourteen years ago.
First place, the old wand, unknown length, elder wood, unknown core;
this name comes from a fairy tale in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". Many people must have an impression of it, and even fantasized about owning this invincible wand in their childhood, although they will forget these childhood fantasies when they grow up.
But there are some people who still tirelessly research the authenticity of the Elder Wand after growing up. According to them, Beedle referred to a lot of real history when writing the story. In order to satisfy his literary romance, the poet Beedle played a joke on us. The real story of the Elder Wand may be taken from one of the above wands.
The reason why this wand is placed first is that it seems to have extremely broad conditions for choosing a master. As long as the previous owner is killed, the wand's loyalty can be obtained. In other words, anyone who gets it can obtain its power.
The whereabouts of the Elder Wand were unknown for a time, but recently there was a rumor that Felix Heppe, the professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts who had previously made a big splash in the Quidditch World Cup final, had inadvertently called his wand the Elder Wand, but whether this practice was a tribute to the fairy tale or he really held the legendary wand that was invincible in history, we have no way of knowing. '
In the hall.
Felix held the newspaper in his hand, with only one thought in his mind, he wanted to curse.
Voldemort's killing move came unexpectedly.
