Chapter 56: Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff
Back in Hufflepuff's common room, it's a rare place packed with students.
Zachares Smith and Ernie McMillan are rushing to get the Hufflepuff flag.
Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones are dyeing their black robes yellow with their wands.
"Jon, come and help!" Zacharis saw that he was back, and hurriedly shouted, "Tomorrow is the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, a battle of life and death!"
"A battle to the death?" Jon walked over, blinking.
"This afternoon's game...... Slytherin was overturned by Ravenclaw with a 140-point lead!" Zacharis shouted: "They are destined to lose two in a row, and we will have an absolute advantage against them in the final round!"
"So we play Gryffindor tomorrow and almost directly decide who the championship is!
While Zacharis was babbling on and on, a group of Quidditch players in Hufflepuff jerseys returned to the common room.
"Jimmike, once the game starts, you have to keep an eye on Potter and try to interfere with him as much as possible with Bludger!" Cedric Diggory walked at the front of the players: "The chasers are handed over to Bob to deal with!"
He has not forgotten to lay out the tactics one last time.
"Cedric, come on!" The Hufflepuff students cheered when they saw their return, "Long live Hufflepuff!"
Jon also stepped forward, and he walked up to Cedric - Diggory: "Cedric, I believe you, you will win!"
"Thank you, Jon!" Cedric smiled and nodded, "The result is not guaranteed, but we will definitely do our best!"
"That's not what I meant. Jon shook his head, "I mean, you're going to have the absolute advantage in tomorrow's game...... Because of Gryffindor's Seeker, Harry Potter shouldn't be able to play!"
"What!" Cedric was taken aback, "Is the source reliable, Jon?"
"Of course. Jon nodded without thinking, "I overheard Potter and his friend talking while I was at the school hospital. ”
Based on his knowledge of the character's personality, Jon is certain that Madam Pomfrey would never allow Harry Potter to participate in a Quidditch match until he had fully recovered from his injury.
And no matter how much Harry Potter and Ron Weasley persisted, Hermione would definitely stop them...... She might even go out of her way to tell Professor McGonagall!
So he was sure that Harry would definitely not play.
"Great!" Cedric clenched his fists excitedly, "Potter is Gryffindor's ace, he's not there, and Wood can't find any decent substitute seeker......"
With a wave of his hand, he called the Hufflepuff players together again:
'We've got to change our tactics...... Jimmick, you don't have to keep an eye on Gryffindor's Seeker, target their chaser Angelina Johnson, who is the heart of Gryffindor's attack......"
......
The next morning, Jon got up early and left at six o'clock in the morning.
He didn't want to be forced to Quidditch by Zacharis and the others like last time.
And Cedric led the team against Gryffindor without Harry Potter...... You can ride the thief in the face, how do you tell you to lose?
Steady, it's easy to eat Gryffindor!
So you don't have to look at it at all, a few hours later, it's definitely another big win.
Leaving the dorm, Jon went to the kitchen first, and the dining room hadn't opened yet.
Pulling open the door of the kitchen, the house-elves in the kitchen shouted excitedly when they saw his arrival:
"Mr. Jon Hart...... Mr. Jon Hart is here!"
The house-elves quickly and excitedly gathered Jon in the middle, cheering eagerly.
"Don't do that...... I mean, you don't need to!" Jon said with a wry smile.
Ever since they gave some gifts to the house-elves before Christmas, they have been so "welcoming" about themselves every time.
After trying to persuade them to disperse, Jon saw a house-elf face that could be named:
"Good morning, Klein!" Jon waved his hand and said hello.
"Mr. Jon-Hart......" Klein, the house-elf, burst into tears of excitement and suddenly rushed over and hugged Jon's trouser legs.
Jon noticed that it was wearing a strange bronze headband on its head.
"It's ...... Professor Dumbledore rewarded us! Every house-elf who participated in the capture of that Gryffindor thief girl was rewarded...... I chose this!" Klein took off the headband and stroked it cherishedly, while his hoarse voice was lowered and said:
"Mr. Jon Hart, Klein didn't tell anyone, it was you who told me to propose that Logno take the thief who tried to break into the Hufflepuff common room and take it to the teacher......"
"Thank you, Crane!" Jon said gratefully, leaning down.
"You actually said thank you...... A wizard actually said thank you to Klein...... "The house-elf cried excitedly.
......
With his pockets filled with assorted snacks again, Jon made his way to the eighth floor again.
He was already familiar with this journey, but it was indeed a little tiring to climb from the basement to the eighth floor in one go.
Once again, pulling out the copy of "Summoning the Joy of Your Heart", Jon raised his wand and continued to contact the Patronus Charm in vain.
"Expecto Patronum!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
Jon even used some vague "happy" memories from his previous life.
It's a pity that the memory is probably too long, the emotion of "happiness" is not accurate and obvious enough, and the Patronus Charm still hasn't achieved much effect...... More precisely, it didn't have any effect.
"It's a dog!" Jon complained weakly as he left the Room of Request around 12 noon.
Back in the dining room, he found that it had become a sea of yellow-black.
Cedric Diggory was clustered in the very center of the crowd.
"We won!" Hannah Abbott and Ernie McMillan saw Jon's arrival and pulled him into the celebratory line:
Hannah shouted, "Where have you been, I haven't found you for half a day." ”
"Jon, we won, a big win...... At 510:40, Gryffindor was beaten to the ground by us!"
"We won!"
