Chapter 114: Blake breaks into Hogwarts for the second time
This Quidditch match between the Eagle Yard and the Lion Yard ended with Harry Potter snatching the Golden Snitch at the last moment.
It's not that Zhang Qiu doesn't work hard, but because she is a little smaller than Harry, so her arm length is shorter than Harry's, which leads to Harry having a slight advantage when the last two reach out to snatch the Golden Snitch at the same time.
This result makes Zhang Xu helpless, he can't use magic to suddenly make the handle longer, this is playing Quidditch, not Street Fighter.
So far, except for the Snake Academy, which has not yet participated in the competition, the other three colleges are all one win and one loss, and the difference in total scores is within a few tens.
This result made the players of the Snake Academy cry because whoever can score the most points on them next will be the champion of this year.
As for the snake courtyard counter-killing, it doesn't exist. Because right now their team's Seeker and captain are lying on the floor at the top of the stands panting. Maybe they'll say goodbye to Quidditch forever.
When Harry and the others reached the top of the stands, they saw Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, as well as the Slytherin captain Marcus Flint, lying in a mess on the ground, gasping for air, and not even having the strength to free themselves from the black robes they wore in their headscarves.
Leaning over to look at them with an extremely furious expression on their faces were the deans of the four houses, including Professor McGonagall.
There is also Zhang Xu who took a cranberry cookie and sent it to his mouth.
Zhang Xu saw Harry and them coming, took out a bag of butter cookies and threw them over.
Harry showed his skills as a Seeker, grabbed the bag of cookies in one hand, and then distributed the butter cookies to his teammates, who watched Malfoy and the others lying on the ground as they ate.
"Despicable means!" Professor McGonagall shouted, "Conspiracy to frame the Gryffindor Seekers, lewd and cowardly!" You're all going to be punished, and you're going to have to deduct fifty points from Slytherin!"
"Fifty points each." Snape on the side said with a cold face.
That evening, in the kitchen of Hogwarts, a celebratory feast was taking place.
The long table was filled with butterbeer, pumpkin juice, various sweets bought from Duke Honey, and various pastries and steaks.
The students at the Lion House were the ones who had the most fun, as if they had won the championship.
The students of Eagle House and Badger House, who still have hope of winning the championship, also made a fuss together.
Now the Eagle House has won the Badger House, the Badger House has won the Lion House, and the Lion House has won the Eagle House, and everyone's relationship between victory and defeat is mutually restrained, and finally everyone has the hope of winning the championship.
Only the students of the Snake Courtyard sat silently on the sidelines, turning their grief and anger into appetite, if they didn't eat tonight, they would lose even if they didn't eat, anyway, it was the money from the Eagle Courtyard.
Zhang Xu sat on the outermost part of the kitchen in embarrassment, looking at a corner of the kitchen, where a big black dog was nibbling on a piece of lamb chops.
Zhang Xu went to Hogsmeade in the afternoon to buy drinks and snacks for tonight's banquet, and when he came back, he found Scarlet leading a black dog tied with a levitation charm, humming "Walking on the country road, the delicious big dog is my companion, the blue sky with the sunset in my chest, and the colorful clouds are the clothes of the sunset", walking on the way back to Hogwarts.
After seeing Zhang Xu, Scarlet waved to him very happily, and then sighed vigorously that the dog was fortunately not eaten by Black, and then planned to raise it in the kitchen until the Eagle House won the Quidditch championship.
Looking at Blake, who entered Hogwarts in the same pose for the second time, Zhang Xu was eager to use the Dementor to see what he was thinking now.
Maybe it was because he had been hit twice by accident that calmed him down, or maybe there were too many people now, and Blake was now quietly nibbling on the lamb chops in the corner, without making any impulsive moves.
At the same time, the other students didn't pay attention to which classmate's new pet the black dog was.
Ignoring Blake, Zhang Xu looked at the noisy students, only to find Hermione sitting alone in a corner reading a book, not joining the banquet.
Zhang Xu took a large glass of pumpkin juice and a plate of snacks and placed it on the table in front of Hermione, and saw that she was reading a thick book called "The Life and Social Habits of Muggle Families in Britain".
Zhang Xu played Hermione a brain break, and when Hermione rubbed her head and looked at Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu sat on the chair next to her and said to her, "I didn't assign enough homework to let people read books at the banquet." ”
With that, he took the book in Hermione's hand.
"Let's eat something first," Zhang Xu pointed to the pumpkin juice and snacks he had brought over.
"I can't, Zhang, I still have four hundred and twenty-two pages to read!" Hermione said, her voice sounding a little hysterical, and at the same time reached in front of Zhang Xu, asking Zhang Xu for the book she had just written.
"Besides," Hermione looked over to Ron, "he doesn't want me to participate." ”
Zhang Xu looked at the two of them speechlessly, and finally refused Hermione's request to return the book.
"Tomorrow morning, the three of you will come to me in the reading room. Now your task is to rest well after you've eaten your fill. After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he stood up, and then rubbed Hermione's head.
After putting his hand away from Hermione's head, Zhang Xu looked confused, how to bring the habit of coaxing Gabrielle to Hermione. Every time he ordered Gabrielle to do something she didn't want to do, he would rub Gabrielle's little head like this, and Gabrielle would pouting and reluctantly doing what he was told.
"It seems that Hermione, like Gabrielle, is sometimes a child who hasn't grown up." Zhang Xu thought.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, at Zhang Xu's insistence, the banquet came to an end, and everyone walked out of the kitchen in twos and threes.
"What's the common room password?"
"I don't remember, Sir Cadogan has too many passwords, it's weird."
"I remember tonight's password was ......"
A few of the students at the lion house walked out of the kitchen discussing the password to enter the common room tonight, none of them noticing that a black dog in the corner of the kitchen was staring at them.
Harry, who had returned to the dormitory, was so tired that he climbed onto the bed, pulled up the curtains to cover the moonlight, and lay down again, feeling as if he had fallen asleep at once, and he had a strange dream.
He dreamed that on a busy street, a friend of his father's found someone who had betrayed his parents.
"Don't cast spells! It's me!"
"Oh, it's you, boy!"
"Hey, it's me!"
"Ahh You lured Voldemort to Jaime's? ”
"Well...... Hey....... Well, the Dark Lord asked me to give you a message, if only you could join the Death Eaters......"
"Daydreaming! You traitor! ”
"Uh- I'm doing this for your own good. The Dark Lord said......"
"Say what!"
"The Dark Lord said you should surrender ...... wand"
"Shut up! Daydreaming about you traitor. ”
"I'm doing this for your own good, as long as you surrender to the Dark Lord, I guarantee you a golden ticket for glory and wealth......"
"Shut up! Shut up! I'm killing you on behalf of the Jaime family......"
"Boom!"
To Harry's surprise, he couldn't tell which of the two people in his dream was Black and Peter.
"Ahh No, no, no, no, no!"
Just then, Harry was awakened by a loud shout.
Not long after, Zhang Xu was called out of the bed and began to search for Blake's traces in the castle.
