Chapter 21: Before a Quidditch match
Harry had never been so glad he had a friend like Hermione. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnder Wood's crazy training plan, Harry relied on his friend to complete his homework. When Hermione was in a better mood, he could take advantage of her inattention to copy it instead of listening to Hermione's explanation.
And after a hellish experience in the library in Western languages, Hermione's search for books and the identification of their usefulness have improved by leaps and bounds, in addition to some instructive books, Hermione also found a copy of "Quidditch Origins" and gave it to Harry, which made him very interested, which recorded various short stories about the history of Quidditch.
It's November, and it's cold enough, especially in a strange place like Hogwarts, where you have to wear a sweater in September. Fortunately, there was the eternal flame that Hermione had conjured up and placed in the jam jar, a flame that could be kneaded and deformed at will in her hands but would not be extinguished, blue and cute, and seemed to be non-lethal. However, when it had just been conjured up before, when a certain Ron Weasley, who had an IQ of -1, reached out and grabbed it, the fresh roast pig's trotters came out of the oven...... He had to go to the school hospital in the company of the two to see Madam Pomfrey treat his burns.
As the three of them sat around and kept warm with their backs to the jam jar, "Beware, it's Snape" Harry saw Snape limping over again, apparently after two days of limping last Halloween.
Although he didn't go to Filch's office door to pay attention to the long, almost impossible to find the bottom of the rules, it felt like the use of magic was out of order. So the three of them pressed together, trying to completely block out Snape's view as he was close by.
Unfortunately, the little wizards' Too young, too simple Tucson was broken, and Snape limped in front of them, even if there was nothing to find something trivial. "Potter, books from the library are not allowed to be taken out of the classroom! Gryffindor deducts five points. Apparently the Slytherin Headmaster had made up a new ordinance on the fly, dragged the book from Harry's hand, and limped away.
"I don't know what happened to his leg," Harry didn't know what to say about it.
"I hope he hurts enough," Ron gloated.
――
"Look, there's a whole bunch of new builds and packages in George Fred's got there...... I'm betting on five cents, it must be what kind of order they are working on. Ron showed a slight envy, "I'm sure they must have made a lot of money." ”
"And then. Hermione replied.
And then ...... Do you think I, as their brother, will have a more abundant Christmas present this year?" Ron gave a look of anticipation to the stars, Hermione made a retching expression, and squinted at Ron to continue looking at the book in front of him, "Dance in the Fire"
Hermione wondered why this book was just a narrative book, and she was constantly improving her proficiency in destroying magic as she read it.
Harry hurried in, saw that no one around them could notice them, and whispered to Hermione and Ron, "You must not have thought of what happened. ”
"Didn't you go to Professor Snape to get that Quidditch Tracing back?"
"I saw Snape tending to his wounds, and Filch was talking about the three-headed Cerberus, and on Halloween, he wanted to pass by the big dog with three heads! When we saw him, he was going there—he was looking for the thing that the big dog was guarding! I bet with my broomstick that he had let the troll in to distract people! But because the troll was quickly dealt with, Snape didn't get it, and he went again the other day. ”
"Hey, Harry," Hermione closed the book and looked at Harry, "although we all know that Snape doesn't look like a good person, but after all, he is a professor at the school, and after all these years in the school, how can he go and steal something that Dumbledore needs to protect strictly?"
"Honestly, Hermione, you always think that all teachers are saints. Ron said unceremoniously, "I agree with Harry. I think Snape can do everything. But what was he looking for? What was the big dog watching?''
When Harry went to bed, the question was still buzzing in his head. Neville snored loudly, but Harry couldn't sleep. He wanted to get rid of the distractions—he needed to sleep, he had to sleep, and in a few hours he would be playing his first Quidditch match—but the look on Snape's face when he saw Snape's leg was hard for him to forget.
Cold, the fine weather, the delicious and tempting breakfast, the heat of the little wizards looking forward to the Quidditch match was clearly a misfit - little Harry, who was nervous and found that he had no appetite at all.
"You have to have a few bites of breakfast. ”
"I don't want to eat anything. ”
"Today's sausage is delicious. Hermione admonished.
"I'm not hungry. ”
"Harry, you have to eat some, Seekers usually have to be very focused all the time, and the opposing team will also focus most of their energy on the Seeker, and you have to maintain your strength in the face of fierce confrontations. Hermione simply wrapped a sandwich and handed it to Harry, but someone suddenly grabbed her little hand. Siwen twisted Hermione's arm and shoved the sandwich into his mouth, "Well, it tastes good, there's a little too much salt." In exchange for Hermione's white eyes, she suddenly grabbed the corner of Xiwen's robe and wiped her fingers, this bastard, after eating, he still licked his fingers.
"Hey, Harry, come on~" Siwen snapped his fingers, causing Harry to suddenly feel his body become warmer and feel an appetite. "Thank you, Sivin, and Hermione, thank you. ”
"Spanish, Quidditch matches are strictly forbidden to use magic bonuses, and it is forbidden to take any non-healing potions. "George Fred has come over to pick up Harry and take him to the team to get ready to go.
"It's just a little magic trick to keep your body warm, don't worry. Little Harry's talent didn't need those extras. Go for Harry. Siwen picked up Harry, who had just regained his appetite and stuffed a large ham into his mouth.
Harry rolled his eyes as Hermione learned, reasonable, can you let me finish the food in my mouth before letting me go?
Coming out of the locker room, everyone walked through a dark passage with brooms and stood in front of two large wooden doors. Wood looked at his teammates solemnly.
"All right, boys. He said.
"And the girls. Chaser Angelina Johnson said.
"And the girls. Wood agreed, "It's time." ”
"This is an important moment. Fred said. "The moment we've all been waiting for. George said.
"We remember Oliver's speech by heart," Fred said to Harry, "and we were on the team last year. ”
"Shut up, you two. "It's the best Gryffindor team in years; I know. Because this year we still have the secret weapon of Potter. ”
He glared at everyone fiercely, as if to say, "It's not enough for you." ”
"Nervous, Harry," Wood looked at his secret weapon one last time.
"Sort of"
"It's okay, I was nervous the first time"
"And then, how did you feel in your first race," Harry asked.
Wood looked reminiscing, "First Quidditch match...... I also forgot that I was knocked off by a Bludger in the second minute of the game and was hospitalized for a week."
Wood looked at Harry with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he seemed too unencouraged. So I hurriedly changed the topic-
"Alright, it's time. Good luck to all. ”
The door was pushed open, the bright sun shone lightly, the sound of the boiling crowd, Harry instantly felt all the tension and pressure quietly disappear, the power from the hand holding the broom filled his body, he strode to keep up with his teammates, the Quidditch field, a wave of faith gushed out, he belonged here, here, belonged to him!
