Chapter 42: Quidditch Begins
As we enter November, the weather becomes very cold.
The mountains around the school are gray, and some are even covered with snow and ice.
The black lake also froze, and the surface of the lake was as cold and hard as quenched steel.
Every morning, the ground is covered with silvery frost.
Quidditch is about to begin, and most people are looking forward to it.
The freshmen were not only looking forward to it, but also a little envious.
There is no one who does not yearn for the sky, and there are many people who overcome their fears for this.
On this day, Zhang Hao was sitting at the gate of the castle, pondering the role of spells in magic, when Harry and Hermione found him. And, of course, the reluctant Ron.
"I've discovered a big secret!" Harry whispered, "Snape wants to get past the three-headed dog guard, he wants to get under that door. ”
Although Zhang Hao didn't remember the original plot clearly, he knew that Harry and Snape didn't like each other, and he knew that Snape would never have a problem.
So he asked disapprovingly, "Harry, if you're just guessing, don't tell me." ”
"No! I have proof!" Harry said firmly, "I borrowed a book from the library and Snape took it, and when I went to ask him that day, I saw a bloody wound on his leg. Also, he said something that I don't think you would have guessed......"
"What did he say?" Zhang Hao was a little curious, it seemed that Snape did say something strange.
"That's what he said...... I remember," Harry said stiffly, learning Snape's tone, "damn it, how could you keep three heads on it at the same time?"
Zhang Hao nodded, this sentence is indeed very suspicious.
However, this is not without reason!
"I don't think that this sentence alone is certain that Professor Snape wants to do something bad. Zhang Hao tried to reverse Snape's image in Harry's mind, and he smiled, "I think it's likely that he found someone who was really trying to steal, and he might have stopped someone first." It's not impossible, is it?
"Look, Harry, I knew he wouldn't think Snape was doing something bad. Hermione reluctantly said, "I told you before I came! I know Snape is bad, but he will never steal what Dumbledore keeps in his keep. ”
Harry was silent, still thinking there was something wrong with Snape.
"Honestly, Hermione, you always think that all teachers are saints. Ron said unceremoniously, "I agree with Harry, someone like Snape can do anything. Now the question is, what is he looking for? What is that big dog guarding?"
It was as if Snape was the bad guy.
Zhang Hao felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and the red-haired fool seemed to be targeting him and Hermione.
Oh, and poor Professor Snape!
The discussion ended up unhappily, and Harry and Ron left together.
Hermione stayed, feeling a little lost and as if she needed someone to talk to.
"Hao, can we always be friends?" Hermione said worriedly, "lately the Gryffindor classmates have been looking at me in strange light, and they think I've betrayed. I...... I spoke to you in public at the Halloween dinner party in the Gryffindor common room, and they thought I had betrayed Gryffindor. ”
"Speak for me as a Slytherin in front of so many Gryffindors?, Hermione, where is your sanity?" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He thought suspiciously, "This little girl, she won't like me, will you?"
Innocent little girls don't think much about it, but some adults sometimes have a very uncompelled mind...... The more you know, the easier it is to think about non-non-ducks!
"I don't know why I blurted it out at the time, it was a feeling of not vomiting and being unhappy. Hermione grabbed her messy hair and said distressedly, "I just think you're so good that you should be a role model for everyone." But the Gryffindors didn't understand me. ”
"Hermione, you can't expect everyone to be as motivated as you, after all, for most people, it's easier to play!" Zhang Hao put aside those strange thoughts and comforted softly: "You just need to be yourself, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions." ”
Two young figures sat on the big rock at the entrance of the castle, and the early morning sun fell on them, making them feel warm.
The content of the chat gradually became boring, and Zhang Hao began to tell jokes routinely.
As humorous jokes blurted out, Hermione's smile returned to her face.
The troubles of young people come and go as quickly as they come, and the previous unpleasantness has long been swept away.
By the time the two parted, Hermione's steps had regained their briskness, like a little sparrow that could fly up a branch at any moment.
Zhang Hao looked at the petite back, and couldn't help but admire: "It's good to be young! I'm old after all......"
A few crows flew through the air, and they croaked a few times, as if to laugh at someone.
The next day, the Quidditch pitch was buzzing.
It was the first game of the new school year and the students left the tantalizing smell of fat sausages behind them and focused their full attention on the Quidditch pitch.
"I'm going to play Quidditch next year, I swear!" Malfoy swore assuringly, "I bet I'm going to be the best Seeker." ”
Zhang Hao guessed that Harry would also join Quidditch next year, and he had already thought of the scene where Malfoy was pressed to the ground and abused.
Before he knew it, he actually laughed out loud.
"Hey, what are you laughing at, bastard?" Malfoy said angrily, "Do you think you're better suited to be a Seeker than I am?"
As they spent more time together, Zhang Hao and Malfoy's relationship became more and more like roommates in college.
It's a relationship that is closer than a stranger and stranger than a friend.
Sometimes they care about each other, more often they taunt each other.
In fact, there is not much malice in this, and I am afraid that there is more of a battle of will.
There is no doubt that Malfoy often falls into the underdog.
"I said Draco, can you stop being so serious?" Zhang Hao said amusedly, "I never said I wanted to participate in Quidditch, it was just a child's game." ”
"Shut up!" Malfoy said shyly, "How can you say that about Quidditch? I think it's the most meaningful sport in the wizarding world." You don't know Quidditch at all!"
"Really?" Zhang Hao said disapprenously: "A group of people worked hard for a long time, but the Seeker ended the game when he caught the Golden Snitch. IMHO, this is also too heroic. Do you think it's fair for everyone else to play a team sport where one person can cancel out everyone's efforts?"
