Chapter 69: Hermione's Second Gift (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Link's outing didn't go well.
It's not that he's in any trouble, it's that every Hufflepuff Link meets along the way will greet Link warmly, which makes Link a little overwhelmed.
One thing to say, this is completely different from the treatment when Link first came to Hogwarts.
And not only that, but recently, the Hufflepuffs have also changed their previous image of cowering in Hogwarts, and they all tilted their heads up and looked triumphant.
This is clearly inconsistent with the Hufflepuff character.
However, Link actually understands them very well, because the Hufflepuff Quidditch team has been too competitive lately.
From Christmas to now, they have won two in a row.
The first was against Gryffindor, and despite the predictions made by many before the start of the game, the result of the match was still a jaw drop.
Because Hufflepuff killed Gryffindor in an instant.
That's right, it's a spike.
In just about ten minutes into the scene, Harry and Cedric spotted the Golden Snitch at the same time.
If it was according to the plot in the original book, Harry should have won the game directly with the speed advantage of the light wheel 2000.
However, this time it was different, and Cedric, who also had the Light Wheel 2000, was no weaker than Harry.
The two chased each other in the air for nearly three minutes, and it was Cedric who won the match with more physical fitness.
Compared to this one, the second game against Ravenclaw was relatively boring.
However, Cedric still did not disappoint, and finally took down the Golden Snitch when Hufflepuff was behind by a large score.
These two games made Cedric famous, but Cedric did not take the credit alone, but bluntly said that it was the result of the efforts of all the players, and also said that Link gave the Halo 2000, and gave Link the title of honorary team member after communicating with Professor Sprout.
Such a title coupled with Link's recent performance has been really good, not only treating his classmates gently and warmly, but also earning Hufflepuff a lot of house points in class.
As a result, Link's reputation in Hufflepuff has changed from a 'difficult Death Eater cub' to a 'philanthropic scholar'.
So, the scene that annoyed Link so much appeared.
But that wasn't the most troublesome, as Link had barely stepped into the library when a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Link! You're finally willing to show up!"
When Link heard the reputation, he saw Hermione in front of the reception desk in the library, holding a book and looking at him with a happy face.
Opposite Hermione, Mrs. Pince, the librarian, frowned as she reached out and grabbed the feather duster beside her.
Obviously, Hermione was too loud just now.
Hermione also noticed Mrs. Pince's movements, and she reached out to cover her mouth, and then pulled Link to a square table in the corner before Mrs. Pince actually picked up the feather duster.
"Link! what have you been up to lately!" Hermione grumbled in a muffled voice, "I've been to Hufflepuff three times to find you, and each time your roommate named John stopped me from entering, saying I was there to spy on their Quidditch intelligence!"
Hearing this, Link's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Because this is indeed something that John can do, Link remembers the previous incident when this guy encouraged him to use the beautiful man trick to get information, and a small school Quidditch match was played by him as a spy game, which is also no one.
But what happened to Hermione is actually to blame Link.
Link, who was in retreat before, almost kept his door closed in order to reduce the probability of being attacked by Quirrell, so Hermione, who was not in the same grade as Link, naturally couldn't touch him.
Smiling awkwardly, Link explained:
"Actually, I've been busy with revision lately, and as you know, the exam is coming soon. ”
As soon as these words came out, a Ravenclaw boy on the side immediately rolled his eyes.
Because Link is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, and now there are two full months left before the exam, what the hell is reviewing.
But when Hermione heard this, she nodded suddenly and said with some excitement:
"Have you started reviewing too? You must have taken a lot of notes, right? Can you lend me a look?"
"Uh...... The notes I made were all in the second grade, and you don't need them now. ”
Link was perfunctory, he was busy learning Occlumency all this time, where would he go to take revision notes.
However, Link also knew that Hermione's character would inevitably continue to be entangled, so Link took advantage of Hermione's failure to speak, and directly changed the topic:
"By the way, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Ah, did you say that?"
Hermione's face turned a little red, and she hesitated for a moment, seeing that there was no one else around except the Ravenclaw boy, so she secretly took out a roll of plasticized paper from her arms and handed it to Link.
"Actually...... I just wanted to give this to you. ”
Listening to Hermione's mosquito-like voice, Link slowly opened the scroll of paper, and saw that there was a poster of a football star hidden inside, and there was even a dragon flying phoenix autograph on it.
It's a pity that Link has never been very interested in football, especially this kind of old star, so he didn't recognize the identity of the person on the poster.
But he still looked shocked, because he really didn't understand Hermione's purpose in sending him this.
At this time, Hermione also seemed to see Link's doubts, she lowered her head, and said while stirring the hem of her clothes with her fingers:
"It's a thank you, thank you for being with me before. Didn't you say last time that you usually watch some soccer and basketball games? It's just that my father is also a football fan, and he has a lot of stuff. So I thought......"
Hermione's voice grew quieter and quieter, and by the end she was completely inaudible.
Link looked at the signed poster in his hand and smiled.
He remembered the Christmas present Hermione had given him earlier.
I have to say that Hermione is indeed a very detail-oriented girl, such a girl actually married Ron in the original book, and Link is really powerless to complain.
Thinking so, Link also smiled and said:
"Thank you, I loved this gift, and so did the Christmas present!"
"Really, that's great!" Hermione said excitedly, "My dad still has a lot of signed soccer balls and sneakers! I'll bring them to you next time I get home!"
"Well, forget about it. After all, it's not easy for your father to have a hobby as an old man. ”
Link said as he wiped the cold sweat from his head.
Seeing that Link refused, Hermione didn't continue to insist on this, she suddenly leaned into Link's ear as if she had thought of something and whispered:
"By the way, there's one more thing. Hagrid has a fire dragon, do you want to go and see it?"
"Fire dragon?"
Link said thoughtfully.
The Fire Dragon Incident, which was a key turning point in the original book.
It was the aftermath of this incident that allowed Harry to confront Voldemort for the first time.
It was at this point in time that Voldemort was able to hunt the blood of a unicorn through Quirrell's body.
This means that if the plot does not fluctuate severely, as long as Link follows the plot, then he will definitely be able to find Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest!
Thinking like this, a subtle chill flashed in Link's eyes.
But with a smile on his face, he said:
"Ah, of course I'm going to see it. ”
..................
Small Theatre:
Looking at Link and Hermione, who were biting each other's ears not far away, the unknown Ravenclaw boy finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He slammed to his feet and glared at Link and Hermione, who were still whispering together, with sour eyes.
Then Fei also left the library.
