Chapter 432: Giants, Centaurs and Finals
Towards the end of May, perhaps because his brain was no longer being tortured, Harry's spirits looked much better. But because every fifth-grader has been busy lately, he naturally hasn't had much time to practice Occlumency.
As a result, Harry often went to bed with his mind filled with what he had learned, and when he fell asleep, his overstressed brain manifested itself most nights. It's all silly dreams about exams.
But other than that, he sometimes dreamed of the dark hallway and the crystal balls on the dusty shelves. But the only consolation he felt was that a part of his brain felt guilty as it swam down the hallway to the black door at the end, and would manage to wake him up before he reached the end of his journey.
Naturally, Harry didn't dare tell anyone about this, otherwise either Ginny or Hermione would force him to go to Snape to be tortured again.
In the midst of this hectic chaos, the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match is about to begin, which is also the final of the Quidditch season. Despite Hufflepuff's narrow win over Slytherin in the last game, Gryffindor didn't dare to expect to win the game, largely due to Ron's poor goalkeeping record, but he himself seemed very optimistic.
"That's fine. Ryan said to Hermione. "At least when Ron is in a good mood, the interception success rate is not low. ”
The night before the race, Ryan secretly went to the centaur settlement alone, because after Ferenze told Ryan Hagrid's brother that he was hiding in the Forbidden Forest, Ryan had been trying to help the centaurs. Naturally, chopping Hagrid's brother was the first option to be ruled out. Because as a dwarf giant, Hagrid's younger brother will definitely not have the turn to eat human flesh, and according to Ryan's bottom line, he should not die.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Ryan finally thought of a solution from the direction of alchemy. And today he went to the Forbidden Forest to deliver the alchemy products he made to the hands of those centaurs.
When he came to the outside of the centaur village, he happened to see Wolf chasing his tail there. Ryan stepped forward and greeted, "Good evening, Wolf, where's Aunt Betty?"
"Aunt Betty is waiting for you at her house, you just go over there. Wolf sat there and said, "By the way, I'm almost done with the pile of books I gave me, do you have any other books?"
"Of course, which one do you want to see?" Ryan asked, "Last time you asked me for an encyclopedia and a history book, what would you like to read this time?"
"Well, is there a book about the world outside?" Wolf asked, looking up at Ryan, "I want to know what the world outside the Forbidden Forest looks like." ”
"I seem to have a book on this, I'll take it out after we go to your house, or I'll have to carry it." After listening to what Wolf said, Ryan felt a little sad. He had just kept a large number of books in the Wanjie Grocery Store as a bargain, and there was a whole set of travel manuals in place to give to Wolfe.
Arriving at Wolfe's house, Ryan discovers that the house is no different from any other centaur house. It was a four-meter-tall spired hut with a tall and wide gate. After opening the door, Wolf lifted the cloth from the lantern grass in the house. The light brightened the room at once.
Wolfe's home was simple, except for a small table and a few shelves with books and other things, there was only a small nest made of soft plant fibers. According to him, because he can't cook, he usually goes to Aunt Betty's house to eat, so there is no need to prepare cooking utensils and cutlery at home.
Ryan took out the books he had put in from the grocery store and helped Wolf put them next to the small table, and then said goodbye to Wolf, who couldn't wait to start reading.
"Some guys aren't as studious as a wolf. Ryan thought about Crabbe and Goyle, who had been looking around for trouble under the guise of the investigation team lately.
When he walked to the door of Aunt Betty's house, he found that Aunt Betty was already standing at the door waiting for him.
"I'm sorry I just sent some books to Wolfe and kept you waiting. Ryan hastened to apologize.
"Wolf has been much calmer lately, this should be the benefit of reading, thank you for giving him so many books. Betty laughed and said, "Besides, the wind will tell me all the information around here." I also just came out, and I haven't been waiting for you here, so you don't have to apologize for this. ”
After a few pleasantries, Ryan pulled out 12 bracelets from his bosom, each with several bells hanging from them. These bracelets are forged from dark steel, but if you get closer, you'll see beautiful patterns on them. In addition to this, Betty saw that the bracelet was inlaid with a dense array of silver runes the size of green beans. However, in the moonlight, these runes seemed to reflect a bloody light.
Betty took the bracelets and reached out to wipe them on them, using natural magic for a moment before looking down and asking, "You killed those giants a few months ago?" I can sense their wails from these bracelets. ”
"Yes. Ryan nodded, "They eat people, I'll kill them." These bracelets were made by melting the axe and spear that killed the giant, and as long as the bell on it was gently shaken, the giant in the Forbidden Forest would naturally be shocked. You don't have to worry about the giant destroying the Forbidden Forest. ”
"Then thank you, I'm really sorry for the trouble. Betty laughed and said that as a natural spell caster, she is not like those vegetarians or extreme environmentalists, in her eyes those giants eat people, then there must be the consciousness of being killed, whether they eat people or they are killed, this is a cycle of nature. So she didn't have any bad feelings about Ryan killing those giants.
"Well, I'll go back. Hopefully, the Forbidden Forest will return to its former silence. After saying goodbye to Aunt Betty, Ryan returned to Hogwarts Castle. ”
The next morning was the final, and because the Slytherins in the previous investigation team were too reckless, they launched many attacks when they couldn't bear it anymore. Several members of the Slytherin Quidditch team who were part of the investigation team were hospitalized during the conflict. In this case, Hufflepuff managed to win against Slytherin in the previous match. It also gives Gryffindor a chance of winning.
After breakfast, Ryan pulled Hermione to the court. Unfortunately, they arrived a little late, and it took a lot of time to find a seat at the top of the stand.
It was a sunny and cloudless day, which couldn't have been better for a Quidditch match. Within minutes of the game, Ryan noticed Hagrid and Harry disappear from the stands. It's not that he's paying attention to these two people, it's that Hagrid's size is hard to ignore.
"What is Harry doing here?" Hermione noted.
"I guess Hagrid wants to introduce Harry to his brother. Ryan looked at the field and replied casually. "I gave the horses an idea, that Hagrid's brother wouldn't be in trouble for them now. ”
"That would be great - oh, that's terrible. Hermione exclaimed, and at this point Ron missed one of Davis' balls.
Fortunately, Ron managed to save the other balls in the following game, and finally Ginny caught the snitch in front of Zhang Qiu with a half-hand-length advantage.
After the joyous crowd below carried Ron away, Ryan and Hermione walked down from the top of the stands back to the castle. On the way, they happened to see Harry coming out of the Forbidden Forest.
Harry also had a smile on his face, it seemed that what Ryan had given the centaurs had worked, and Hagrid's brother shouldn't be so grumpy by now. All in all, it was a perfect day.
