Chapter 19: Malfoy invites Potter to meet in the middle of the night
Dudley finally persevered until the end of class, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, what kind of garbage flying class, he couldn't fly, and he could die with a broom or something.
"Harry is going to be fine, is he?" asked Ron.
Harry hadn't been back since he was taken away by Professor McGonagall.
"He's so stupid, how can he fly into the sky without following the rules!" Hermione said.
Ron glared at Hermione and said, "Why do you say that Harry, he's also here to get Neville's memory orb back." Besides, he was not the only one who flew into the sky. β
"At least wait until Ms. Hodge comes back and talk to her. β
Hermione and Ron were arguing, each with their own opinions.
"Alright, don't make any noise. Dudley felt like his ears were going to burst.
"Hmph. Hermione flicked her unkempt hair and walked as quickly as she said to herself, "Someone should go to Professor McGonagall and explain." β
Dudley looked at Hermione's departing figure and didn't know what to say, Hermione had her good and her bad, not to mention eleven-year-old children, even Dudley had the thinking of an adult, he couldn't stand her a little, and was taught by her like a mother all day long.
Ron said, "She... Is there a disease in the head?"
Dudley shrugged, it was Hermione, she wasn't getting ready to get angry anyway, she was already angry.
"Shall we go to Professor McGonagall now and explain that it would not be good if Harry was expelled for this. Ron asked, hesitantly.
"You don't have to explain to Professor McGonagall, you won't be expelled Harry. Dudley patted Ron on the shoulder, "Don't worry, let's go." β
Of course Harry will be fine, and even if there is, it must be a good thing.
When Dudley and Ron arrived in the Great Hall, Harry was already leisurely eating dinner in the Great Hall. Hermione sat there too, glanced at them snuckly, and then quickly lowered her head, flipping through the book as she ate.
As the two of them sat down next to Harry, Harry looked around like a thief, and then whispered to them about what had happened since he had been taken off the field by Professor McGonagall.
"Are you kidding?" Ron picked up a piece of steak kidneys and was about to put it in his mouth, as Harry made him forget to eat the pie.
"Shhhhhh Harry looked around again, but no one noticed. But he didn't see Hermione with her head on the side, wishing her neck could stretch out, and she secretly listened to their conversation.
"No kidding, Ron. I became a Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Harry looked delighted.
Ron was so surprised, so shocked. He just sat there, staring blankly at Harry.
"I'm going to start training next week, and you don't have to tell anyone that Wood wants to keep it a secret. β
"Wood is the captain of the team. β
"Congratulations, you've become the youngest player on the academy team. Dudley congratulated from the sidelines.
"It's the youngest player in a century, that's what Wood told me. Harry gulped down on the pie, and he took two bites.
"Poor me, I can't fly if I want to. Dudley envied Harry, not for him to be on the Quidditch team, but for flying on a broomstick.
What's the difference between not being able to fly on a broom and salted fish in the wizarding world, I'm really sorry for crossing the army and embarrassing you.
Harry looked at Dudley with some confusion, he didn't know why Dudley said he couldn't fly if he wanted to.
"Harry, let me tell you about it, it's a shame you didn't get to see Dudley's moments with your own eyes. Ron said, and then he gave Harry a glowing account of Dudley's glorious history.
Harry raised an eyebrow and forced a smile, but finally he couldn't help it, and squirted the crumbs of the pie out of his mouth. He wiped his mouth and said, "Ahem, I'm sorry!"
The more Dudley looked, the more he felt that Harry was covering his mouth and snickering, how could he not choke on this Pippi to death.
Harry let out a long exhale, and he said with a serious face, "I think there must be something wrong with your broomstick." β
"yes, it must be that broom that's too worn. β
"Dudley, you're enough, you've tried mine, Hermione's, and Harry's broomstick. The result is all the same. β
Dudley was like a balloon, he was mercilessly punctured by Ron, his godless eyes losing the desire for life.
At this moment, Fred and George passed by them.
Fred and George stood on Harry's left and right twice, and they bent over and whispered to Harry, "Good Harry." β
"Wood has told us that. When he said that you were coming to the house team to be a Seeker, he was so excited that he couldn't be coherent. β
"We're on the House team too, we're-"
Fred and George said a word on their own, and then said in unison, "Basman." β
The two of them gave Harry a high-five.
"Batsman?"
George explained: "It's just to make sure you don't get beaten up. But there will always be accidents, and Quidditch is savage. β
"It is said that Wood was knocked unconscious by a Bludger on the court for the first time that year and lay in the hospital for a week, poor Wood. β
Harry's face was a little pale.
"Don't worry, Quidditch never dies, and someone disappears afterwards, but it will reappear in a month or two. β
"We haven't won the Quidditch Cup since Charlie is gone, and I think we're going to do a great job this year and win the Quidditch Cup because we have Harry Potter. β
"We've got to go, and Lee Jordan thinks he's found a new secret passage that leads to the outside of the school. β
"I guess it's the passage behind the statue of Gregory the sycophant, we found it in our first week at school. Good bye. β
Dudley was a little excited, finally knowing that there was a passage to the outside of the school. Sneaking out of school is just around the corner.
As soon as Fred and George left, Harry was a little panicked, saying, "I haven't ever played Quidditch, what if I end up looking at a foreign country?"
"Harry, you're not going to look foreign, you're genetically gifted. Dudley said, "Your father, James Potter, is also a Seeker. β
Harry looked confused, "How do you know?"
"This... Didn't I skip class last time, and I saw it when I was punished for wiping the medals in the showroom, so if you have time, you can go and see for yourself. β
Someone very unpopular showed up - Malfoy.
Crabbe and Goyle followed him.
"Potter, are you eating your last meal? Look at you, you eat like a pig, are you afraid you won't be able to eat again, I guess you're going back to your Muggle world tomorrow!"
Dudley and Harry looked at each other.
"Harry, do you hear anything? like a dog barking. β
"Did you hear that? I'm still wondering where the barking came from!"
Dudley and Harry play double reeds. Malfoy's face flushed with anger, and he clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to make a mistake at all, because of course the rostrum was full of teachers.
"You can be arrogant now, and when Potter is fired tomorrow, I don't know if you can be arrogant. β
"Harry wasn't just ...... expelled"
"Ron!" Dudley interrupted Ron just in time, or Ron would probably have told him about Harry's participation in the academy team, "You have to remember to never deal with an idiot, because he will pull your IQ to the same level and beat you with his incredible experience!"
Malfoy, who had never been insulted like this since he was a child, glared at a pair of eyes, and said angrily and in a low voice, "I want to have a duel with you between wizards, only with a wand, not physically." β
Dudley was amused by Malfoy, "Malfoy, who gave you the courage to come to us for a duel, are the two stupid big men next to you?" or Liang ...... What level do you have in mind that you don't have a little bit in mind?"
"It's not you, Dursley, I'm going to duel Potter, one-on-one!"
Harry looked at Malfoy like a fool, what the hell did he do, he didn't dare to duel Dudley but wanted to duel him.
"No," Harry said calmly, "aren't you really a fool?"
"Potter, you must be scared, are you? Or haven't you heard of a duel between wizards?" said Malfoy, scoffing.
"Malfoy, if you're not afraid, we can have a one-on-one duel now, and it just so happens that the professors are all on top, so you don't have to be afraid that you'll die!" Dudley was so annoyed that it wasn't easy to eat, and he said, "Either accept it, or get out, and don't talk about it here." β
Malfoy ignored Dudley's words and said to Harry, "Potter, do you dare to hide behind Dursley?"
"That's enough, Malfoy. Harry looked helpless, and he said, "I promise you can't, you're such a grinding little goblin." β
Malfoy smiled, wondering if he was happy that Harry had promised him to 'meet' in the middle of the night. He said, "How about our duel at midnight? I'll meet you in the prize showroom, where the door is never locked." β
Harry waved impatiently, motioning for him to leave.
As Malfoy prepared to leave, Dudley called them to stop.
Dudley remembered a magic he had seen two days before, which was just right to use in this situation. He pulled out a blank piece of parchment from his wizard's robe, and with a wave of his wand, he saw that the parchment was full of wordsβ
