At Lady Padiv's teahouse, Darren felt the smoke fill the room, but perhaps for a reason, as Darren saw a pair of Hogwarts students hugging each other at a table against the wall, as if they were pushing too hard, and making a clicking sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the scene there, Darren found that Hermione's face turned red, and he felt that if it weren't for him, Hermione would have turned around and gone out immediately, but now, it seemed that some kind of little girl's inexplicable pride kept her......

Darren stood behind Hermione, reached out and grabbed her wrist, when his hand touched Hermione's silky skin, he felt the other person's body stiffen, but he didn't resist, and gently followed his own movements.

At this time, Darren saw a fat woman with shiny black hair, and the other party was also looking at him and Hermione, and he realized that this was the owner of the teahouse, Lady Pardiff, he shook his head apologetically to the other party, signaling that he was not going to sit down, and then pushed open the door of the teahouse, and pulled Hermione out......

Coming out of the foggy teahouse, the cool breeze blowing on his face, Darren felt extra fresh, and it happened that there was no one on this road, so he pulled Hermione and walked slowly.

Hermione didn't break away from his hand, letting him pull it, "Why?" Hermione asked softly after walking through a house.

"What?"

"Why don't you sit down, you brought it up and took a break first. ”

"Oh," Darren thought for a moment, "there's too much smoke in there for you." ”

"Oh. ”

Darren felt Hermione's hand take his fingers, gently.

During the Easter holidays, Gryffindor Quidditch captain Wood once again stepped up the intensity of his training, requiring his players to go to the pitch every day to practice, as the Gryffindor-Slytherin Quidditch match will take place on the first Saturday after Easter, and the winner of this year's Quidditch Cup will be decided between them.

He was very interested in this, this was Wood's last year playing at Hogwarts, and he hoped to become a professional Quidditch player after graduation, and winning the Quidditch Cup would undoubtedly greatly increase his bargaining chips in the search for a job.

So Harry had to carry the firebolt to the stadium every day, and Ron was inseparable from him, and when he was free from training, Harry would let him ride the firebolt, before the rest of the team.

Darren and Hermione go to Hagrid's cabin and let Hagrid lead them to see the Hippogriff, Fred and George.

As the weather warmed up, Fred and George's "cram school" began to have students again, and now they were able to command Hippogriffs without Hagrid's presence, much to Hagrid's delight, always chattering to introduce them to some new "interesting animals".

He also wanted Darren to help convince the twins, but Darren didn't see much hope, as they never agreed with Hagrid about what Hagrid called "funny animals" and others called "scary monsters......

Hermione and Darren rode Peter Parker together, this time they did not enter the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid prepared a bonfire in front of the cabin, took out his own vegetables and hand-made sausages, absolutely natural green and pollution-free, wizards don't know that there are chemical fertilizers and pesticides, entertain Darren and they barbecue together, the only thing that makes Darren feel sorry is that there is no beer for the occasion, and Hagrid won't let him drink a sip of wine, they are too young!

After Easter, perhaps because of Darren's repeated persuasion, Hermione finally quit the divination class, and Darren heard that she had always had a bad relationship with Professor Trelawney, and that Professor Trelawney said in front of the class that day, "She obviously does not have the qualities required of the noble art of divination", and said that "I don't remember meeting a student whose mind is so worldly", which is undoubtedly very difficult to accept for the top students who are loved by most professors.

However, Hermione's withdrawal from the divination class didn't attract much attention, as everyone's attention was focused on Quidditch, but according to Harry's statement to Darren, the situation was not in Gryffindor's favor, as they lost their match against Hufflepuff and now have a minus fifty points total.

In contrast, Slytherin won the first two games and also won a total of 150 points, which meant that Gryffindor had to lead the opponent by more than 50 points in the match with the Quaffle before Harry could catch the Golden Snitch in order to guarantee a total score over Slytherin.

In fact, this would have been almost impossible, as the entire Slytherin squad used the Halo 2001, which was far better than Gryffindor's broomstick, and even though Harry was much better than Drake Malfoy as a Seeker, he would not be able to reverse the overall disparity in Gryffindor's strength, as their match with Slytherin last year had shown.

Thankfully, now that Gryffindor has Darren's Firebolt and Harry's original Halo 2000, they can overwhelm Slytherin if their chasers aren't too bad.

As the game approached, the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin grew, and their focus seemed to be on Harry, who was considered the best Seeker at Hogwarts, and who now had a firebolt, which Darren understandably possessed.

However, what Darren is not quite comfortable with is that people seem to think that Slytherin can win the game without Harry, and they actually resort to this idea in practice! When Harry is in the hallway, there are always Slytherin people who stretch out their legs and trip him to the ground, and Crabbe and Goyle are always following Harry, so Darren doesn't believe that they are planning to ask Harry for an autograph......

What's even more unacceptable to Darren is that for this situation, just like during the basilisk incident last year, no professors or administrators raised objections, as if it was really just friction between the academies, and the values of wizards were really simple and rude!

Anyway, in a state of caution and restlessness, the game finally approached, and the night before, all the daily activities of the Gryffindor common room had stopped, and only the members of the team were still there chatting.

Darren sat with Hermione because Hermione said she couldn't read the book and wanted to talk to him about the spell, but Wood had been beside them, directing the little man on the model of the Quidditch pitch with his wand, hoping that Darren would give some advice, and repeatedly whispered to him that the firebolts were in good condition, even though Darren had repeatedly assured him.

Finally Hermione couldn't take it anymore and got up and went back to the bedroom, where her behavior seemed to alert Wood, and she stood up and shouted, "Team, sleep!" (To be continued.) )
