Now, the atmosphere at the Quidditch pitch was tense, and William and Cho turned around β they were going to see a good show.
"Flint!" Wood yelled at the Slytherin captain, "It's training time!" We got up early in the morning! Please get out! β
Marcus Flint is even bigger than Wood. He replied with a troll-like cunning look, "It's a big place, Wood. β
Arya, Angelina, and Katie also came to find their voices. There were no girls on the Slytherin team, and they stood in a row side by side, squinting at the Gryffindor team members with the same look.
"But I chartered the court!" Wood snapped, "I've got it!" β
"Oh, don't say that, it's just that Ravenclaw gave you half a day." "Also, I have a note signed by Professor Snape. I, Professor West Snape, have allowed the Slytherin team to train at Quidditch today to train their new Seekers. β
"You've got a new Seeker?" Wood's attention was diverted, "Where?" β
From behind the six tall team members flashed a smaller boy with a smug smile on his pale pointed face. It was Draco Malfoy.
"Aren't you Lucius Malfoy's son?" Fred asked in disgust.
"It's interesting that you mentioned Draco's father," the entire Slytherin team laughed even more, "Then please look at his generous gift to the Slytherins." β
Seven people lifted the broomsticks forward in unison, seven brand-new, smooth and shiny flying broomsticks, and seven lines of beautiful gold letters "Light Wheel 2001", which shook the eyes of the Gryffindor team members in the morning sun.
"The latest model, which just came out last month," Flint said nonchalantly, gently dusting off a bit of dust from the top of his broomstick, "I believe it's much faster than the old Halo 2000 series." As for the old-fashioned Seven Stars Sweeper," he smiled wickedly at Fred and George, each of whom had a Seven Star Sweep 5 in their hands, "Sweep the floor with them." β
"Oh, William." Qiu looked at the 'Light Wheel 2000' in his hand with a smile, "They must not know that my flying broom is faster than the 'Light Wheel 2001'." β
"yes, it's a family makeover." William smiled and pulled Cho over there, "Go and see, I see, those Gryffindors are going to be unbearable." β
"Oh, look," Flint said, "somebody broke into the field. Ron and Hermione walked over from the lawn to see what was going on. Hermione didn't notice William and Autumn in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Ron asked Harry, "Why don't you play?" What is he doing here? Ron looked at Malfoy in surprise, who was wearing the Slytherin Quidditch uniform.
"I'm the new Slytherin Seeker, Weasley," Malfoy said smugly, "and everyone was admiring the broomsticks my dad bought for our team. β
Ron stared dumbfounded at the seven high-grade brooms in front of him.
"Pretty good, isn't it?" Malfoy said kindly, "But, maybe the Gryffindor team can get some gold to buy some new broomsticks." You can sell the sweep of Seven Stars 5 for a prize, and I think the museum will bid for them. The Slytherin players laughed roughly.
"At least none of the Gryffindors have to spend money to be on the team," Hermione said scathingly, "and they came in purely on merit."
Draco Malfoy's smug face darkened, "No one asked you, you little Mudblood!" He said harshly.
Everyone knew that Malfoy had said something terrible, and Malfoy paid the price for it, and he flew out, and the team behind him watched him fall to the ground in a perfect arc, and then, they saw William, who was walking quickly, with a gloomy face, grabbed Malfoy's throat and lifted him up from the ground, "Say it again, Malfoy." β
"Ahh Mr. Gilbert! Don't be impulsive...... "Flint clearly recognized the figure the family had warned him not to provoke, and for a moment, he didn't know whether to help Draco Malfoy or not," he was just joking. β
"It's none of your business, get out of here!" William pressed harder, and Malfoy's face was flushed and he began to roll his eyes.
"William! Let go! Hermione and Cho stepped forward at the same time and grabbed William, "Don't be angry William. Hermione whispered, "I'm fine." β
Both the Slytherins and the Gryffindors were frightened by William, and Malfoy was even more remorseful. William, who was held by his two girlfriends, slowly let go, and Malfoy collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck and desperately breathing in the fresh air.
"Malfoy." William crouched down and patted Malfoy's frightened face, "Hermione is my girlfriend, I need you to give me an explanation." Then, he stood up and pulled Hermione and Cho out of the Quidditch pitch.
Although William's move seemed to be relieved, in reality, he would rather not be so heavy-handed.
William's face darkened all the way, and Hermione and Autumn comforted him for a long time before he eased his expression.
"Actually, William, you did hit a little harder, and you almost died." The three of them sat quietly under an English oak tree by the lakeβHermione and Autumn wanted William to calm down.
William pillowed on Hermione's lap, and he didn't forget to play with Qiu's jade hand next to him, "It's also time to teach him a lesson." He knew that his actions would not escape Dumbledore's eyes, and this was done to give Malfoy a warning and to show his impetuous side in front of Dumbledore, after all, he was only a child.
It's almost time for lunch, so Autumn goes to put away the broomsticks first, and after a while, in order to meet up with Hermione, as William's girlfriend, they already know that William has a space ring, so they are not surprised at all when William takes back the 'Red Sky'.
No sooner had they stepped into the shady foyer than they heard a voice. "You're back, Mr. Gilbert," Professor McGonagall walked toward them with a straight face, "you stay for the night. β
"What am I going to do, teacher?" William asked calmly.
"You go and help Professor Lockhart reply to his admirers." Professor McGonagall said, "Professor Lockhart asked you by name. Remember, eight o'clock in the evening. β
"What about Malfoy?" William raised an eyebrow and asked, "With me too?" β
"Ah, of course not," Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow, "he's going to help Mr. Filch wipe the silverware in the prize showroom, and not by magicβall by hand." β
"I see, Professor." William nodded, "At eight o'clock, I'll be there on time." β
After Professor McGonagall left, William sighed and walked into the Great Hall, Hermione following behind, the expression on her face showing her apologies. "It's okay, Hermione." William smiled at Hermione, "I was just thinking that I'd rather wipe the silverware than write letters." β
Saturday afternoon passed before I knew it, and during this time, Cho and Hermione had been by William's side, and Roger and the others generously gave them a day off after hearing about William. It was about five o'clock at eight o'clock, and William stole a fragrant kiss when Autumn was not looking, and then ran away with Autumn complaining.
"Hmm, Qiu is really disobedient." William licked his lips, as if to reminisce, "Hermione kissed me when she returned to the Gryffindor common room." He walked down the third-floor hallway toward Lockhart's office. He pursed his lips impatiently and knocked on the door.
The door opened immediately, and Lockhart looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Ah, here comes the little villain! Come in, William, come in. β
On the walls hung countless frames of Lockhart, illuminated by many candles. Several even have his signature on them. There was also a large stack of photographs on the table.
"You can write an envelope!" Lockhart ignored William's unhappy expression and said to William, as if it were a great deal, "The first letter is to Lady Gladys, God bless her, a fervent admirer of mine." β
Once again, William thought in his mind that he was better suited to polish silverware, and he felt that time passed like a snail. William listened to Lockhart's rambling there, and he just buried his head in writing the letter and never answered.
The candles burned shorter and shorter, and the light of the fire danced on the faces of the many moving Lockharts who were watching them. William felt his hand ache a little, "How much longer?" William said impatiently, he looked at Lockhart and said, word for word, "I'm tired, Professor." β
"Oh. Oh my god - look what time it is! We've been here for almost four hours! I can't believe it - time flies, doesn't it? Gilderoy Lockhart said excitedly, "Go back, William, and get some sleep!" β
"Of course, I will." William stood up, rubbed his arm and left the office.
"Ah, by the way, there's no Potter today." William walked back to the Ravenclaw common room, "In that case, it looks like he'll be hearing about the basilisk a little later." William muttered under his breath.
There was almost no one in the common room in Ravenclaw, but he was surprised to see that Cho was still waiting for him.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" William sat down next to Autumn and asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm waiting for you." Qiu gently put his hand on William's shoulder and gently massaged it, "I'm tired." β
"Ah, it's okay, it's just that my arm is a little sore." William said helplessly, "Ah, write a reply, you know? This is the worst punishment I've ever received! After a pause, William lowered his voice, "I think it's much better for my father to throw me into the Enchanted Forest than to write for Lockhart!" β
"Giggles, let Hermione make it up to you tomorrow." Autumn nodded William's forehead and smiled mischievously.
"Well, let me kiss it first." William leaned over with a playful smile.
"No, William. There are others here...... Hmm...... "Autumn is right, but who dares to peek?"
