Chapter 34: Look

As soon as Vio was about to answer Ron's question, he heard another sound of footsteps behind him, which was originally very slight, but Vio was lying there with his face against his sleeping bag, and he could really feel the vibration from the ground. Biquge.inforanw?enw?w?w?.'

It's Professor Snape back.

He stopped in front of Vio's sleeping bag without making a sound, then coldly placed his wand on the sleeping bag and muttered a spell: "Arc to the bone." ”

Then Vio felt as if his body had been connected to a little electricity in an instant, except for some soreness and stinging pain in the place where he touched the wand at the beginning, only the feeling of numbness and crispiness remained.

But her mind suddenly became clearer, and she realized that Professor Snape had probably woken her up to talk to her alone.

She scrambled out of her sleeping bag and followed Snape out of the hall.

For the next few days, everyone at school was talking about Blake. Rumors of how he got into the castle grew: a student at Hufflepuff named Hannah Abbott had heard that Black could transform into a flowering bush, and spent a lot of time telling everyone who would listen to her about it in every class he had with Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

In the Gryffindor common room doorway, the vandalized portrait of the Fat Lady had been removed from the wall, and in its place was a portrait of Sir Cadogan and his fat grey pony.

According to VIO's extracurricular observations in the past few days, no one in their academy is happy about this matter.

The Sir Cadogan, with whom VIO had a half-acquaintance, spent his years under Professor Trelawney's divination classroom in the North Tower, weaving through the spiral staircase with all kinds of landscapes, portraits, and historical scenes, chasing the quixotic dream of chivalry.

Every time Vio enters Professor Trelawney's classroom via the spiral staircase, he will inadvertently see him appear in someone else's painting.

Now, according to Hermione, Sir Cadogan spends half of his time challenging people and asking them to duel him.

The rest of the time he spends figuring out ridiculously complicated passwords, which he changes at least twice a day.

This caused the Gryffindors to complain about his madness.

Vio had heard Lavender say in his History of Magic class that he wanted to move to another house for a while.

"He's crazy," Simophinegan said angrily to Percy, "can't we just change someone?"

"No other painter would do this job," said Harry, "and was horrified by what happened to the fat lady." Sir Cadogan was the only one who stepped forward. ”

However, Harry and Vio have more things to hate.

Now they are both under close surveillance.

The instructors found all sorts of excuses to walk with them in the hallway, and when Vio asked to go to the bathroom, Professor Trelawney immediately said that she wanted to know that she had just returned from the bathroom.

Professor Sprout always arranged Vio to work in front of the flower pot under her nose. It's as if she doesn't know when she's going to be gone.

Harry was just as miserable, not only the faculty following him, but also Percy.

Percy Weasley (Harry assumed it was his mother's order) followed him everywhere like a guard dog with a great vigour.

The worst part was that one day, Professor McGonagall called Harry into her office, and Vio happened to be there, no, in fact, all four of them were there, but only Vio and Harry were called in.

The look on Professor McGonagall's face made one think someone must have died.

"Miss Santriel, you wait for a while, and I'll say a few words to Potter...... There's no need to hide it from you, Potter," she said solemnly, "I know it's going to be a shock to you, but Blake ......"

"I know he's chasing me," Harry said tiredly, "and I heard Ron's dad tell his mom. Mr. Weasley works for the Ministry of Magic. ”

McGonagall seemed surprised.

She glared at Harry for a moment before saying, "I see, well, then, Potter, then you can understand why I don't think it's a good idea for you to practice Quidditch in the evening." On the pitch, with only your teammates around, you're very exposed, Potter!"

"We're going to have our first game on Saturday!" said Harry, furious. "I've got to train, Professor!"

Professor McGonagall looked at him intently. It was known that she was extremely concerned about the future of the Gryffindor team, and that she was the one who first suggested that Harry be the Seeker.

Harry waited, holding his breath nervously.

"Hmm," Professor McGonagall stood up, glaring out the window at the Quidditch pitch, which loomed in the rain.

Eventually, she gave in as Vio and Harry had expected, "Well, god knows, I'd love to see our team win the trophy at the end, but anyway, Potter, I'd be happier to have a teacher around." I asked Mrs. Hooch to supervise your training. ”

Then, she turned her head to VIO, "Your Charms class grades have regressed a lot lately"

Vio couldn't help but look up at her in surprise, Merlin was in charge, the Charms class homework that had just been sent today, what the hell was Professor McGonagall going to do if she was the first in the Slytherin class?

"So I suggest that you spend all your time outside of class every day tutoring with me......"

Vio quickly exchanged a quick glance with Harry, and both understood that Professor McGonagall was looking at Vio in disguise.

***

The first Quidditch match was approaching, but the weather was getting worse. Under Mrs. Hodge's supervision, the Gryffindor team trained bravely, even harder than before.

Then, during the last training session before Saturday's game, Oliver brought unwelcome news to his team.

"We're not up against Slytherin!" he told them angrily, "Flint just came to see me. We're going to play against Hufflepuff. ”

"Why?" the rest of the team asked in unison.

"Flint's excuse was that their Seeker's injured arm wasn't healed yet. "But they did it for the obvious reason they didn't want to play in this weather, thinking it would ruin their chances." It was a stormy day, and even as Wood spoke, they heard thunder rumbling in the distance.

"Malfoy's arm is fine!" Harry said angrily, "he's pretending!"

"I understand, but we can't prove it. "We've been practicing with Slytherin, and now we're playing against the Hufflepuffs, and they're quite different. They have a new captain and Seeker Cedric Diggory ......"

Angelina, Arya, and Katie suddenly giggled.

"What?" said Wood, unimpressed by the carefree behavior.

"He's the tall, pretty-looking boy, isn't he?" said Angelina.

"The one who is strong and doesn't talk much. Katie said, and they started giggling again.

"He doesn't talk much because he's so stupid that he can't say two words at the same time. Fred said impatiently, "I don't understand why you're worried, Oliver, the Hufflepuffs are easy opponents to beat." The last time we played them, Harry caught the Golden Snitch in five minutes, remember?"

"We're playing in completely different situations!" exclaimed Wood, his eyes slightly protruding. "Diggory has a strong team, he's a great Seeker, I'm worried you're going to think that, we can't afford to take the enemy lightly, we've got to take the main problem, Slytherin wants to see us make a mistake, we've got to win!" )
