Chapter 34: The Race and Harry's Discovery
As the game approached, Harry didn't care about what his teammates were saying, but his mood was getting more and more nervous, and the rest of the team was not calm. The thought of beating Slytherin in the House Cup makes everyone excited. For almost seven years, no one has been able to defeat them. However, with such an eccentric referee, can they succeed?
On the second day, Ryan, Ron, and Hermione found a place in the stands. Neville, who was sitting next to him, wondered why they were holding their wands as if they were facing a great enemy.
Hermione had been chattering for a while about the spells they might have used, and the tension was building.
Towards the start of the game, Ryan decisively interrupted Hermione, who was in the middle of a thought.
"Look at the faculty seats. Ryan gestured to where the teachers were sitting. "Headmaster Dumbledore has also come out to watch the game, so there will be no safety issues today. ”
Hermione and Ron also saw Professor Dumbledore's trademark silver-white beard, and then let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
The game began, and just as they were relaxing to watch the game, someone stabbed Ron in the back of the head. It's Malfoy.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Weasley, I didn't see you there. ”
Malfoy grinned at Crabbe and Goyle.
"I wonder how long Potter will be able to stay on his broomstick this time? Is anyone willing to bet? How are you, Weasley?"
The big guy ignored Malfoy because everyone was concerned about Harry's condition. But Malfoy intensified, and finally Ron, who couldn't bear it anymore, pounced on Malfoy and knocked him down. Ryan also hit Goyle with an immature stun charm.
After that, there was a scuffle, but fortunately, even the immature coma spell successfully made Goyle temporarily incapacitated. Ryan, Ron, and Neville then go hand-to-hand with Malfoy and Crabbe.
In the air, Snape had just activated his broomstick when he saw a golden object "whizz" past his ear, just inches away from him - and then Harry stopped diving. He raised his arm triumphantly, and the snitch was clutched tightly in his hand.
There was a boil in the stands, it would be a new record, and no one can remember in which game the snitch was caught so quickly.
"Ryan, Ron, where are you? The game is over! Harry wins! We win! Gryffindor are ahead!" Hermione screamed, jumping in her chair and hugging Patil in front of her.
Ryan and Ron laughed at each other's nosebleeds and blue circles at the same time, and then joined the celebratory crowd.
Nearly an hour later, when everyone had finished their celebrations and were about to return to the castle, Harry slowly walked slowly from a distance.
"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione said sharply.
"We won! you won!" Ron shouted as he patted Harry on the back, "Malfoy's three were unconscious, Ryan had knocked Goyle unconscious with magic at the beginning, and then we had beaten them three against two, with only minor injuries. Now everyone is waiting for you in the common room, they're having a celebration, and Fred and George have stolen some cake from the kitchen or something. ”
"Leave that alone," Harry said breathlessly, "let's find an empty room, and you hear me tell you ......."
Once Harry was convinced that Peeves wasn't in the house, he turned around and closed the door, telling them what he had just seen and heard on the broomstick about Snape's interaction with Quirrell.
"So, we should be absolutely right, that thing is the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape wants to force Quirrell to help him get it. He asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lowe - and mentioned Quirrell's 'secret tricks' - I guess there were some other mechanisms guarding the stone besides Lowe and probably a lot of magic and sorcery, maybe Quirrell had cast some anti-dark magic spell that Snape needed to undo it-"
"You mean to say that the Philosopher's Stone is only safe if Quirrell is able to resist Snape?" Hermione asked in alarm.
Ryan put a piece of ice on his swollen eyes, tilted his head and said, "No, you can't be so arbitrary. What Harry had heard was not explicitly referred to at all, and it sounded like Professor Snape had spotted Quirrell playing tricks and was warning him to settle down. ”
"Forget it. Ron said, "You can't assume that Snape is a good guy just because he's given you a high grade on assignment lately." I don't think the Slytherin people have boiled potions yet, so Snape gave them O. ”
Harry stepped forward: "I'm a little confused when you say that. Still, I think it was Tip trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone. ”
In the end, the motion of no confidence in Snape was passed by one to one, although Ryan kept reservations.
Of course, it was only a reservation, so in Harry they were convinced that Snape wanted to steal the stone and that Quirrell was the guardian. And when they did something they thought would help stop Snape's conspiracy, Ryan was just a silent spectator.
It started with what Harry thought was Quirrell's back line. The next time he met Quirrell on the road, he had to give him an encouraging smile, and Ron began to persuade people to stop laughing at Quirrell's stammering, but Ryan was completely speechless about it, and he felt that Harry would regret it when he actually met Voldemort and Quirrell at the end of the day.
For Ryan, the most important thing during this time, in addition to the questions related to the Philosopher's Stone, is to prepare for the final exam. After all, as a student, exams are still very important. For Hogwarts in particular, this is directly related to the issue of employment.
Hermione also began to prepare for the final exam, and when Ryan and she were reviewing together, they found that her notebook was densely marked with different colors, and even made a strict revision plan.
Under Hermione's chatter, Ryan kept revising his revision plan, and seriously, he even thought it was one. It is even stricter than the time schedule before the college entrance examination in the previous life. It's just that when he thought that other 11-year-old girls could do this, Ryan could only keep up with it for the sake of face.
But Harry and Ron didn't care about that. On one occasion when Hermione was nagging, an irritated Harry issued his retort:
"Hermione, exams are hundreds of years away. ”
"Ten weeks," Hermione retorted, "not hundreds of years, but for Nicol Lemay, it's just the blink of an eye. ”
"But we're not six hundred years old," Ron reminded her, "and, anyway, why do you have to review, you already know everything." ”
"Why should I revise? Are you crazy? Did you know that we have to pass these exams to get to second grade? They are very important, I should have started studying a month ago, I don't know what happened to me.......
Ryan watched them argue and curled himself up in a chair and pretended to be a little transparent. Sure enough, the real scholars not only learn well by themselves, but also try to make the scumbags learn well, although the scumbags often don't appreciate it.
