Chapter 29: Post-Match Analysis

As Ryan and Hermione hurried back to their seats, they found that the game was over. According to Ron's account, a few minutes after the two of them disappeared, Harry's broom returned to normal. He finished the match with a dive swallow of the Golden Snitch and Gryffindor won 170 to 60.

This time. Ryan also received a system prompt

- Changed the course of the game and made Hermione suspicious of Quirrell. Gain 2 offset points.

Well, that's a nice bonus. Ryan happily beckoned a few friends to go back with him.

In Ryan, Hermione and Ron were about to go back to the castle when they happened to meet Harry, who was about to go to Hagrid's for tea. So the four of them went together to Hagrid's cabin.

A few minutes later, the four of them sat by the warm fireplace, each holding a cup of fragrant black tea in their hands.

"Snape did it," Ron explained, "I see it." He was chanting a spell on Harry's broomstick, muttering and his eyes fixed on Harry. ”

"No, it's not just Snape who is suspicious. Hermione added, "Ryan and I saw Quirrell sitting behind Snape chanting incantations. ”

Ryan also said at this time: "One of the two of them must be cursing, and the other is protecting." Otherwise, Harry wouldn't have been in the sky for that long. ”

"Nonsense," said Hagrid, "why do professors do such a thing?"

The four of them exchanged glances for a moment, and then Harry motioned for Ryan to go up and explain.

"Because both of their professors have a connection to the pre-Halloween incident. Ryan said word for word as he thought about the words. "The troll belongs to Professor Quirrell, and how the troll escaped is Professor Quirrell's account, and there are no witnesses to prove his words. ”

At this time, Harry couldn't help but say, "I found out something about Snape, on Halloween, he wanted to pass through that big dog with three heads. It bit him. We think he's trying to steal something from the big dog guards......"

Hagrid put down the teapot heavily.

"How do you know about the three-headed Lowe?" He asked.

"Three-headed Louwie?"

"yesβ€”it's mineβ€”bought from a Greek I met at the hotel last year - I lent it to Dumbledore to guard itβ€”"

"What?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Alright, don't ask any more," Hagrid said crudely, "That's Secret One, you know?"

"But someone wants to steal it"

"Nonsense," Hagrid added, "Snape and Quirrell are both Hogwarts teachers, and they would never do anything like that." ”

"Then why would anyone want to kill Harry?" Ron asked aloud.

"It could just be a coincidence, you read it wrong. Hagrid said a little irritably.

"I don't know why Harry's broomsticks behave the way they do, but there's no way Professor Dumbledore's hand-picked teachers would want to kill a student! Now, all four of you listen to me - you're meddling in something that has nothing to do with you. It's dangerous. Forget the big dog, forget what it's guarding for, it's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolame-"

"Aha!" said Harry, "and a man named Nicol Lemay is involved, is it?" Hagrid was furious, he was angry with himself.

Soon, the four men were kicked out of the hut by Hagrid. They then went back to the common room, and after Harry had dealt with the large crowd of people who had come to congratulate him, they saw Ryan discussing something in his little personal corner.

Harry leaned in, and Ron saw Harry and said to him, "I think Snape is behind it, and both of them think Quirrell and Snape are suspicious." ”

After listening to Ron's story, Harry said to Ryan and Hermione, "I feel more like Snape because I can feel that he hates me." ”

Ryan silently complained in his heart, who made you look exactly like your father who snatched love. Then he stopped Hermione, who wanted to argue with Ron, and cleared her throat and said, "It's not the most important question right now. We've got a lot of news from Hagrid today. ”

"We now know the news: the three-headed dog named Louwi belonged to Hagrid, and had lent Dumbledore as a guard to guard something. And this kind of thing has to do with a guy named Nicolame. ”

"And. Ryan added. "The troll who chased us before had a weapon in his hand that suited him perfectly. From what I've read from the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, some intelligent trolls can be trained as guards. This means that the troll was supposed to guard a certain place that day, after all, if it was used as a teaching aid in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, it would not be equipped with weapons. ”

That said, it's likely that there was a lot of space under the trapdoor under Lu Wei's feet, and there was more than one level. Hermione reacted and continued.

"Alright. Harry interrupted Hermione and Ryan's conjectures about the defense level, "Now what we need to know is, who is this Nicolame?"

"I don't know. "I haven't heard of it. "Wait, I seem to have the impression that my father seems to have told me. ”

The other three turned their gazes to Ryan, and Ron was the first to ask, "How is it possible? ”

"Some wizards don't necessarily only know in the wizarding world. For example, Merlin, who is also very famous in the Muggle world. My father was a writer and would look up a lot of information if this Nicolame was famous and had lived in the Muggle world for so long that the Muggle world knew of the man's existence. Then it is likely that my father had seen this name when he looked up the information. Ryan explained to Ron.

"According to you, Nicolame can't be a person in the last two hundred years, after all, the law of secrecy has been strictly enforced in the past two hundred years, but who can live past two hundred years? Ron thought for a moment and said.

"Then could you write a letter and ask your father? Harry said.

"I think I'd better wait until Christmas and I'll go back and ask, after all, it's probably a professor who is going to steal. He might intercept our communications. ”

Hermione saw that everyone was a little bored and said, "Well, let's use our spare time to check this person up." I remember Hagrid said at the time that this was between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolamay - although the words were not finished, but we can be sure that Professor Dumbledore knew Nicolamay from this sentence, so we will start with Professor Dumbledore's peers. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Harry said. "Anyway, there won't be any games for me until Christmas, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to go to the library and flip through the books. When Ryan goes to his house at Christmas and asks his father, we'll make the next move. ”

Seeing that everyone was finished, Ryan stood up and said to Harry, "Alright, today is our first victory for the Quidditch team, and it is also your first victory for Harry. Ryan then pointed to the noisy crowd in the break room. "So if there's anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's time to celebrate. ”
