Chapter 142: Christmas Gifts

"Ah, Twilight, you're actually coming to see the game?"

Hermione looked at Twilight in surprise as she appeared in the audience, and with what she knew about Twilight, she thought that Twilight should not come to watch this kind of 'boring' game, but continue to practice magic in the empty classroom.

"Hmm... yes..."

Mu Twilight shrugged his shoulders, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't think it would seem too unusual, he wouldn't want to come.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that some of the remaining items are not available now.

Whether it was the Sorting Hat, the Gryffindor Sword, or the Elder Wand, they were still in Dumbledore's office, and even if Dumbledore was watching the game at this time, he couldn't get his hands on them.

Soon the game began.

In the movie, Quirrell sits behind Snape and casts a spell on Harry's broom, interrupting Quirrell's spell because Hermione lights Snape's robes and makes Snape stand up to block Quirrell's view.

In the middle, Hermione was passing through the hallway and knocked down Quirrell, who was casting a spell.

It's a pity that because of the existence of Twilight, no matter what the situation is, Hermione can't make another move this time, because she didn't reconcile with Harry, she only knows that Harry and Ron, the two scumbags, always get into trouble and deduct points, and she doesn't know that Snape wants to harm Harry.

So when she saw Harry's broom get out of control in the air, she just hugged Twilight's arm and exclaimed, just like everyone else, thinking that there was something wrong with the broom itself.

"Tsk, what is going to happen to Harry Potter now? Isn't it going to fall? Mu Du suddenly became a little curious.

Being recognized by both Voldemort and Dumbledore, Snape's strength is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary professors. But compared to Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, his magic level was obviously slightly inferior.

Eventually, after a stalemate of about a minute, Snape was defeated by Quirrell and stopped casting spells with a pale face.

"Really going to fall off?"

This was obviously impossible, and the moment Snape was defeated, Dumbledore struck.

Hailed as one of the greatest legendary magicians of our time, Dumbledore's magic far exceeded Twilight's predictions. It only showed a part of his strength, and he successfully defeated Professor Quirrell's spell, allowing Harry Potter to regain control of the broomstick.

It was only because he had spent a lot of energy in the air that Harry was unable to snatch the Slytherin player when he captured the Golden Snitch.

Eventually, the Snitch fell into Slytherin's hands, and Gryffindor lost 50-320 to Slytherin in their Quidditch debut this year.

This made Harry Potter's poor performance the subject of everyone's discussion again, and even he began to doubt himself, and even proposed to captain Wood the idea of quitting the team.

Of course, Wood certainly disagreed, having trained Harry himself for two months, and he knew that Harry was definitely not weak, so he blamed the loss in the first fight on Harry's nervousness and the broom problem.

"It's okay Harry, it's just that there's something wrong with the broom, it's none of your business!" Ron comforted Harry in the same way.

However, when they ran to Professor McGonagall with their brooms, they checked several times and found nothing wrong.

"Why?" The little confidence Harry had just regained was gone, and he kept whispering in despair.

Ron didn't know what excuse to make to comfort him.

"Please, be quiet! You're going to affect other people! ”

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the others had already gone back to their rooms to sleep, except for Harry and Ron, who were insomnia, there were actually only two 'school tyrants' in the entire common room, Mu Twilight and Hermione, of course, it would be very unpleasant to be disturbed while reading.

"You-" Ron glared angrily at Hermione.

Hermione glared back at him without hesitation.

"Can't you just look for your own problems? Professor McGonagall says you have no problem with your broom, could it be that someone is casting a spell on you while you're competing? ”

"You- wait- yes, Harry! Someone must have done something to you while you were playing! Ron said excitedly.

Harry was stunned for a moment, his face regaining some light.

"It must be—"

"Shh

The two looked at each other, then ran back to the dormitory.

Twilight, nestled on the couch, finally looked up at them, and it seemed that Hermione's unintentional words had led them to Snape again.

"Hmph, these two sneaky guys... They don't really think someone is casting a spell on their broomsticks, do they? Who's going to do that? Hermione whispered to Twilight again.

"Not necessarily..."

"Huh?" Hermione looked at Twilight in surprise.

"Twilight, don't you think someone has cast a spell on Harry? There are so many people on the field, and there are professors here, how can anyone really chant a spell without being discovered? Unless it's a silent spell and a wandless cast—"

At this, Hermione herself paused.

Silent spell casting and wand casting, although it is difficult, but it is not impossible for no one to do it, after all, this is Hogwarts, and the heads of the four major houses are all very powerful wizards, it is not impossible to do this, it's just... Hermione's heart tightened, and she quickly dispelled the thought in her mind.

"How is that possible... There's no way the professors could have done anything to Harry... And there's Dumbledore in..."

Looking at Hermione, who was lost in thought, Twilight couldn't help but shake her head silently in her heart. Over the past few months, he had come to regard Hermione as a good friend, so he didn't want to see Hermione and Harry have too much contact.

"Alright, don't think about it, like you said, nothing really happens with Dumbledore!"

"Hmm!"

Hermione, who woke up, looked at Twilight and let out a long sigh of relief.

As Snape was spotted a few more sneaky days after that, Harry and Ron became even more suspicious of him.

It was only in the next two Quidditch matches that Quirrell didn't make another move, much to Harry's disappointment that he didn't catch the evidence.

However, because no one interfered, he finally played normally in these two games, inheriting the excellent bloodline of his parents, he deserves to be a natural Seeker, and caught the Golden Snitch to help Gryffindor win the game on both occasions.

This also made the people of Gryffindor gradually change their opinion of him.

Soon Christmas arrived, similar to the Chinese New Year, and Hogwarts would have a full month of winter vacation at Christmas.

Now there are only three Gryffindor first-year Gry, Ron, and Twilight left.

"Nicol Lemay, the famous alchemist, the owner of the only Philosopher's Stone in existence, please stop making noise here, okay?"

In the common room, Twilight, who was holding a copy of the "Medieval Guide to Witchcraft", really couldn't stand Harry and Ron, so he directly told them the information about Nicolame.

"Uh... I'm sorry... Thank you..."Ron subconsciously shrank his head as he apologized.

Unlike Hermione, who is too expressive, Mu Dui, who is also a top student and also from an ordinary background, is quite intimidating throughout the first year, although she is usually a little taciturn.

Ever since someone called Mu Twilight 'mudblood' and was seriously injured and almost died by a thunderbolt explosion by Mu Twilight, even the always arrogant Malfoy and the others didn't dare to offend Mu Dui, a 'madman'.

Of course, for this reason, Mu Dui was also locked up for a week at this time.

It's just that the confinement room at Hogwarts is actually the teacher's office, and as a Gryffindor student, he naturally went to Professor McGonagall, who was fascinated by Transfiguration and loved by Professor McGonagall, and was concentrating on practicing Transfiguration for a week.

But the person who scolded him lay in bed for half a month before returning to class, and since then, he has been trembling uncontrollably when he sees Mu Dui, and he has been completely blown out of the shadows.

"Can you tell us what the Philosopher's Stone is?" Harry hesitated for a moment before plucking up the courage to ask Twilight.

"Turning stones into gold, making elixirs of immortality... All I know is these two..."

Seeing the impatience on Twilight's face, Harry and Ron, who had received the information, left the common room with great interest.

"Whew, this woman is so terrible!"

"yes... And she's able to use high-level magic like Thunderbolt Explosion in her first year, and I've heard George and Fred say that even many Aurors can't do it with just two syllables..."

Harry and Ron muttered all the way back to the dormitory, and then the two discussed how to use Harry's newfound invisibility cloak to sneak out of the school to find Hagrid and tell him about it.

"The cloak of invisibility—" Mu Dusk glanced in the direction of the two of them without a trace.

The invisibility cloak can only hide the figure, but it can't hide the breath and footsteps, which is of no use to a martial artist with a keen sense like Mu Dui.

But that's not the point, the point is that the Invisibility Cloak is one of the Three Hallows of Death, and it is also the biggest equipment for Harry's gang in the whole work, and its value is definitely above the Philosopher's Stone, according to his estimates, at least 150 or even 200 points.

"200 points..."

200 points passed in front of his eyes, and Mu Du really wanted to snatch him immediately, plus the previous Philosopher's Stone and Ravenclaw's crown, as well as the magic that he had already learned, even if he died immediately and left this world, it was worth it.

However, the thought that there were more points waiting for him forced him to endure.

"As long as Dumbledore is dead, I don't need to scruple anymore..."The gleam in Mu Twilight's eyes flashed as she turned her gaze back to the magic book in her hand.

Although Harry and Ron were clear-eyed, Hagrid clearly didn't believe that Snape, the professor, would steal any philosopher's stone in the absence of evidence.

Frustrated, Harry, who had an invisibility cloak, would sneak out every night and squat in the hallway on the third floor.

However, although he discovered the conflict between Snape and Quirrell, he still did not find any strong evidence, and when he was chased by the night watchman Filch, Harry accidentally broke into the room where the Mirror of Eris was put and saw the fantasies of his parents, and since then he has been running to see the magic realm every night, and even forgetting about the squatting.

Originally, Dumbledore put the demon realm there just to exercise Harry's state of mind and make up for his slightly paranoid character because of the lack of family affection, but he didn't expect Harry to be completely addicted to the illusion and couldn't extricate himself, so Dumbledore had to show up in person to wake up Harry and take back the Mirror of Eris.

The holidays passed quickly.

Because she couldn't use magic at home, or because she was worried that Twilight would be too lonely to stay alone at school, Hermione returned to school early after only half a month.

And she also brought a Christmas gift for Mu Twilight - a beautiful hairpin, watching Mu Twilight roll her eyes.

The original Iron Triangle is still two duos.

At the beginning of the new semester, the first major event is the final of the Quidditch Cup. Because of Harry's excellent performance, Gryffindor won Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff in a row after losing to Slytherin, so the final was still between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

And this time, without Chino's interference, Harry managed to catch the Golden Snitch and helped Gryffindor defeat Slytherin by a narrow margin.

All of a sudden, Harry became the hero of Gryffindor, and was praised by everyone wherever he went. But the good times didn't last long, because Hagrid started raising dragons.

As in the plot, Quirrell uses a dragon egg to get Lowe to sleep from Hagrid's mouth.

As the dragon approached hatching, the curious Harry and Ron would go to Black Brother's hut almost every day after school and would bring it late, sometimes even missing the allotted time.

Such an unusual behavior naturally can't escape the eyes of Hermione, who reads a book with Twilight in the common room every day and sees it late.

"They're going to get caught!"

"It's okay, you don't care about them..."Unlike Hermione's anger, Mu Mu seemed quite indifferent.

"It doesn't matter, our Gryffindor is only 20 points ahead of Slytherin. If they get caught and deducted points, we'll be overtaken by Slytherin, so what if we lose the House Cup because of that? ”

"What is the House Cup for? Can you eat it? Twilight wanted to say that, but she held it back.

"So what are you going to do? Can you convince them? ”

Hermione frowned.

In her eyes, Harry and Ron are two stubborn cows who will never look back, they have been deducted so many points, they have been told so many times, and there is still no sign of repentance.

Of course, Hermione herself was also very stubborn, so she was going to give it a try.

With a twinkle in her eyes, Twilight knew her chance had come.

Knowing it with reason, moving it with emotion, but it's useless. So Hermione finally came up with her killer idea, which was to complain to the teacher.

Harry and Ron had to compromise.

For two or three weeks, both of them behaved very honestly and did not sneak out.

Soon, however, another problem arose, and that was the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon, which was growing so fast that Hagrid's hut was almost unable to hide it.
