Volume 2 The Basilisk is the Five Scumbags Chapter 18 The Quidditch Match
"Hogwarts, A History of the School" has become the hottest thing in the castle lately, aside from the salute cannonballs. Several of the current library books have all been borrowed. And the queue for those who want to borrow has been waiting for two weeks.
Everyone wants to know about the Chamber of Secrets through it.
Daphany is not interested in Hogwarts, a piece of school history. First, she knew that there was no such thing in the book. Second, she actually knows everything. On top of that, she was given a headache by Professor Binns's homework for the History of Magic course.
Daphany wasn't sure if the professors knew about her homework with a magic quill last semester. At the beginning of this semester, when each professor arranged his assignments, the parchment paper was uniformly distributed! It's so much like handing out homework books when I was in elementary school in China! If it was just a piece of paper, Daphany certainly wouldn't mind. But the problem is, there's magic on this parchment! The magic quill can't write anything on it. Must be written by hand!
Fortunately for the other subjects, Professor Binns of the Sorcerer asked the students to write a three-foot (0.9144 m) essay on the 'Encyclopedia of Wizards of Medieval Europe'!
Is a fourteen-year-old going to write a thesis? What about happy education for European and American children? Also, what the hell is the concept of three feet? Can you write a foot in a word? Daphany is angry, Daphany complains, Daphany complains, and Daphany writes essays.
Daphine had diverted the conversation about the Chamber of Secrets in front of the trio, not wanting them to know about it too soon. She wasn't sure if that would lead to any undesirable results. However, Hermione soon learned about the Chamber of Secrets from Professor Binns.
To say that this secret room is really a highly classified type. Daphany reckoned that Hermione was the right fit. Ghost Professor Binns, who has lived for an unknown number of years, knows a lot of things, especially as a professor of the history of magic. Otherwise, I am afraid that another professor may not know.
There was no secret hidden in the crowd, and since Hermione's class knew about the secret room, soon the whole house would know. Suddenly, after the Chamber of Secrets, heir became the most discussed word among the students.
At the moment, it is considered that the most likely are the three of Daphany, Draco, and Harry. The reason why Daphany was suspected was pure and strong! Among the young wizards currently studying in school, even if they are in the sixth or seventh grade, they dare not say that they can bargain for Daphany.
Draco's words were mostly family backgrounds. Although no one says it, everyone knows that the Malfoy family is definitely the oldest pure-blood family, and they have never given up the study of dark arts.
Harry's situation is the most peculiar, firstly, he has a strong legend, after all, he is the boy who once overturned the Dark Lord. The second is that when Lady Loris's attack, he happened to be at the scene. This also makes his voice the highest.
Therefore, in the academy, many students will subconsciously avoid a distance when they see Harry. There are also quite a few who hide and whisper. This made Harry feel very uncomfortable.
There were very few onlookers watching Daphany, and Daphany was the least suspicious. On the day of the incident, a group of beautiful girls around her, and Dafanie who was still holding the cute sister paper Luna, was really eye-catching, and many people saw it. Second, in the first grade, Daphany was once fierce and irritable, which can be described as a fierce and irritable person. Many of the students still remember those terrible days, so no one dared to upset Daphany.
As for Draco, he enjoyed the feeling of being at the end of people's sight, even the beauty.
But Draco knew that he wasn't the heir. Neither is Daphany, but in this case, is it really Scarhead? This made Draco a little uncomfortable. The heir of Slytherin is not a Slytherin?
Rather than that, though, Draco was more curious about what caused Lady Loris's petrification.
"Cousin, what do you think?" Draco asked Daphany this question after a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
"I don't know." Daphne shook her head, "There are so many reasons that can cause petrification. However, since it is even Dumbledore's uncontrollable petrification, the possibility of man-made will be much smaller. ”
Draco smashed his mouth and nodded in agreement. Draco didn't like Dumbledore. He felt that Dumbledore was biased and favored Gryffindor House because he was from Gryffindor. However, since this time there was no such thing as Dumbledore adding points and losing the Slytherin House Cup, this view is not particularly strong. Of course, still dislike is for sure. I don't like it, but Draco doesn't deny that Dumbledore is probably the strongest wizard in Britain and even in the whole of Europe.
"So, what other creatures can cause petrification?" Pansy asked curiously.
"That's a lot!" Daphne rolled her eyes: "Accidentally swallowing petrified raspberries will cause petrification, and the juice of the azure ghost vine can cause petrification." One of the several venoms secreted by the human-faced demon spider also has a petrification effect, not to mention Medusa, a petrified super boss. There are also some high-level demons whose saliva has a petrified effect. In short, there can't be more. ”
Daphne doesn't mention the basilisk because she 'doesn't know' that the basilisk can also cause petrification. According to all literature, the basilisk can be fatal by direct gaze, and there is no description that non-direct gaze can petrify. No way, the number of five-star dangerous basilisks is very rare, and there are not so many opportunities for wizards to study its detailed characteristics.
Daphine's inaction made Draco, who was just a little curious, have no incentive to inquire about the truth of the matter. But they didn't move, but the Gryffindor trio moved frequently. On more than one occasion, Daphany had seen the trio wandering around the castle, and more than once they had made their way to the walls of the Scarlet Letter. I just don't know where they got it.
On the surface, she doesn't do anything, but in fact Daphany is quietly observing something. For example, she noticed that there were a lot fewer spiders in the castle recently. On more than one occasion, she had also seen spiders flee in droves.
Basilisk is a natural predator of spiders. This is not to say that the basilisk will deliberately hunt spiders, but it is a matter of innate attributes. Spiders have a lot of eyes and a very wide viewing angle, so it's easy to make eye contact with the basilisk. And once the eye contact happens, it hangs. That's why spiders are so afraid of basilisks.
In addition to observing the anomaly of the spider, Daphany was keeping an eye out for other things. For example, the day before the first Quidditch match of the year, Daphany found out from the library's register that Hermione had borrowed the Potion of Power. It seems that it is ready to make a compound decoction.
But who are they suspicious of this time? Draco? It's possible! Although Draco's attitude towards Hermione was not as bad as it had been because of Daphany, it was still very bad for other half-breeds or young wizards from ordinary families. The only thing that was stronger than the original was that he didn't dare to say the word mudblood. It didn't seem unreasonable for Draco to be suspicious like this. So who are they going to become? Or Crabbe and Goyle? It's very likely, these two second-hand brains are really not very easy to use. So who is Hermione going to become, Pansy, or herself? Daphany suddenly thought it was funny.
The Polyjuice Potion was an extremely difficult potion that Daphany had never concocted. However, according to her estimates, even if she started preparing non-stop from now, Hermione would take about a month. Rather than what would happen in a month's time, Daphany prefers to focus on what's in front of her – a Quidditch match.
In the first Quidditch match of the year, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor.
On Saturday morning, Daphany didn't wake up early. They asked Snape in particular last night. After everyone has rested, get two hours more training to familiarize yourself with the new broom. Previously, they had been trying to do high-speed training with their old brooms. The results are still there. Although the new broom is faster, it will actually be more maneuverable because it is an upgraded model. So after two hours of familiarization, everyone was happy with their state – except for Daphany.
Daphany is embarrassed to find that she is now the best in the team! Originally, her flying skills were similar to those of the two chasers, and a little better than the two batsmen. However, one of the original chasers quit the team after going to school. The original Seeker Terrance serves as the chaser. Although Terrance had a mediocre performance in last year's game, it was because the chasers of the other teams were the best in the team. In fact, Terrance's skills are also top notch in Slytherin.
And this year, Daphany has so much to do. In addition to the necessary training, many special trainings were not attended, and Flint carried out them on his behalf. Without these special trainings, the skills that were not particularly outstanding suddenly showed a gap. In the entire team, Draco, who has just joined the team for a year and has not yet been baptized by the actual competition, is similar to her. But Draco was riding a super broomstick! Although it is not yet the final product, it is not comparable to the Halo 2001.
Only Daphany, although her skills have improved a lot compared to last year, she still can't catch up with her crazy teammates. So as a last resort, she practiced for two hours last night. So I couldn't get up in the morning.
As the captain, although he is not a captain who is not very in charge, Dafanie will never tolerate such a thing as dragging his feet!
Approaching eleven o'clock, the game is about to begin.
Although it was November, the weather in the island nation of England was not very cold. In fact, because of the low atmospheric pressure, the weather is very humid and a little stuffy. There were thick clouds in the sky, and there seemed to be a faint sound of thunder.
Mother Xipi, I couldn't wait for a thunderstorm last year, and I came to a thunderstorm during this year's competition? Daphany looked at the sky and recalled that she had to go to Australia last year to find a thunderstorm, and she faintly wanted to scold her mother.
At eleven o'clock, the players on both sides took off at the signal of Mrs. Hodge. The Gryffindor team, which had experienced unprecedented hard training, was full of confidence. But when the two sides confronted each other in close proximity, the faces of all the Gryffindor players changed.
Even the faces of the Gryffindor team members, even the spectators in the audience with good eyes or binoculars changed.
"Halo 2001!" In the audience, Ron exclaimed, "Seven, no, it's six light wheels two thousand and one!" Draco rode the special broom Neville had gotten. Merlin is on top, how is this possible. This...... It's not fair! ”
Ron was naturally not the only spectator who discovered the six light wheels of the Slytherin team, two thousand and one, and an unknown broomstick. Suddenly, there was a roar of discussion in the audience.
However, no matter how much they talk about it or how surprised they are, the start of the game is already immutable.
