Chapter Forty-Nine: The Slytherin Style

Section I

The conflict between Ron and Hermione was completely intensified - Ron's rat "Spotted" was gone, leaving only a small blood stain on the carpet, in addition to ginger cat hair, Ron angrily confronted Hermione, and Hermione refused to admit that Crookshank Mountain ate Ron's rat.

Hermione cried so hard that she ran out of the Gryffindor common room in tears, and Ron went back to his dorm room in a huff. Harry was helpless, both of them were his best friends, which made him very embarrassed to be caught in the middle. However, he didn't have time to convince the two, he had to go to the court for a pre-match training session.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Harry grimaced, dragging the fire bolt in his hand softly, "Ron's rat is gone?" Sauron asked quietly.

"Hmm." Harry nodded weakly, "Ron found it this morning, but I guess it was eaten by Crookshank Hill a long time ago, and it disappeared two days ago, poor fellow." ”

Sauron raised an eyebrow, looked at the listless Harry, and said lightly, "Don't worry about it, they'll be reconciled after a while." ”

"I hope so." "Hopefully tomorrow's game will ease the relationship between the two of them."

Sauron was noncommittal, just shrugged his shoulders.

On the second day's official match, as many expected, Gryffindor won by a score of 200 to 30, and Harry, riding a firebow arrow, was a Cunzài that Zhang Qiu could not fight, although Harry was a little unable to let go when facing her. Throughout the game, Sauron didn't feel any Dementors approaching the court, which was normal, and Dumbledore's anger and strength had completely deterred those who were about to move.

After the game, the Gryffindors were ecstatic, and Harry was lifted high by the excited students and returned to the castle surrounded by the crowd. In stark contrast to the Gryffindors, the Slytherins who watched the game, Flint's face was gloomy and almost dripping, the other people's faces were also very unsightly, Ravenclaw was much more difficult to deal with than they expected, and the Gryffindors with Harry were even stronger.

"It's just a competition, is it necessary to be so strict?" Sauron said lightly.

"Slytherin won the House Cup eight years in a row." Draco looked worried, "We can't let this glory be lost in our hands. ”

"Oh." Sauron glanced at him in surprise and hesitated, "It's impossible to help you deal with Gran Cent, but in order to relieve you of some pressure, I will provide you with a little help in the next game against Ravenclaw." ”

Drake looked at Sauron in surprise, "Would you like to help?" ”

"Hmm." Sauron nodded slightly, "After all, I'm also a Slytherin?" ”

"Bear with me, then, what are you going to ......?" Draco asked quietly.

"I told you, I'm a Slytherin." Sauron said meaningfully.

Draco pondered for a moment, his face revealing a bit of clarity. He looked at Sauron, and the two of them looked at each other, both sly smiling sly.

In the middle of the night, Sauron opened his eyes violently, and a silver phoenix hovered in the air.

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, but I thought I'd let you know." Dumbledore's voice rang out, "Blake has broken into the castle again, if you'd like to join the search party, you can meet in the Great Hall Hall." ”

"I'll go right over." Sauron agreed without hesitation. The phoenix circled slightly, disappeared through the walls of the room, and went to inform the others.

Sauron waved his wand, and his pajamas turned into black robes. He made his way to the common room, turned into a black flame and flew into the fireplace, and the next moment, he appeared by the fireplace in the hall of the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore had arrived, and soon Snape, Lupin, and the other teachers had come out of the fireplace.

The teachers weren't too surprised to see Sauron, after all, Sauron was also involved in the last search operation. Once everyone had arrived, Professor McGonagall explained the situation - Black had broken into Gryffindor's boys' dormitory and attempted to attack Ron Weasley, who fled after Ron was awakened.

Dumbledore arranged a search mission, and as last time, the entire castle, including the grounds near the castle, would be thoroughly searched. Sauron was still with Dumbledore, but this time the two of them searched the outer area of the castle.

"You've seen Blake." Dumbledore said, in a tone of certainty, they were in the cold and dark playground at the moment, and there was silence all around.

Sauron glanced at him and didn't deny it. Sauron wasn't surprised, Dumbledore was there that day, and since Sauron could sense Blake's arrival, so could Dumbledore.

"You've found him, but he's reappeared......" Dumbledore said calmly, "I don't think Blake will be able to escape from you." ”

"What do you want to say?" Sauron's face was expressionless.

"Either you forgave him, then," Dumbledore looked at Sauron, "or you know something we don't know." ”

Sauron was silent for a long time, "I don't know more than you do, and I've never thought of forgiving anyone. Sauron's tone was inaudible, "The reason why Blake is still alive is because I sensed the Dementors gathering towards the stadium, and I was worried about Harry, so I ignored him and returned to the stadium. ”

Dumbledore was stunned, Sauron's reason was very reasonable, but he could sense that Sauron must be hiding something. However, Dumbledore did not continue to try to explore Tren, he knew that even if he continued, with Sauron's shrewdness, he would not reveal any secrets.

To everyone's disappointment, the search was also fruitless, and Sirius left no trace, as if it had never been there. Sauron and Dumbledore had tried to expand their perception to a very large extent, but with the strength of the two of them, they had not been able to capture even a trace of Blake's breath.

"Blake's target is Peter, breaking into the castle three times and twice, and it's clear that he won't leave the school until he reaches his goal." On the way to Slytherin, Sauron thought, "And now that it is certain that his hiding place is not in or near the castle, or in the Forbidden Forest, then it must be some neglected hideaway......"

Sauron couldn't help frowning, he must have missed something, and after a long time, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Sauron had always thought that if Black lurked in the school, he would find a remote place that was inaccessible and not searched by the Dementors, but he didn't realize that the most dangerous place was often the safest.

"If you think so, then there are two places that seem to be the most dangerous...... "Sauron couldn't help but squint his eyes, "one is the castle where the students gather, and the other is Hogsmeade Village!" ”

Section III

It was almost certain that Blake was hiding in Hogsmeade, but for the next few days, Sauron did not go to search, Blake had just ventured into the castle, and out of vigilance, he was likely to leave his usual hiding place.

Blake's infiltration of the castle again made the security checks in the school stricter, the professors took turns patrolling the various floors of the castle, all suspicious people were intercepted and checked, and under the construction of the administrator Ferzi, several secret passages leading to the castle were thoroughly investigated and sealed.

However, this qiē did not have much impact on the Slytherins, and the qiē went on as usual. Draco had been happy lately, for the simple reason that the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures had unanimously determined that Buckbeak the Hippogriff was a dangerous creature and needed to be kept in a special prison for dangerous magical creatures.

"After Buckbeak was taken into custody, my father was able to get it out of my house with just some special connections." Draco said proudly, "It's all seamless, unaware, unaware." ”

"I have to say." Sauron said in a praising tone, "Draco, you've got a pretty good hand. ”

"Thanks for the compliment." "One more thing, our match with Ravenclaw is scheduled for this weekend. ”

Sauron chuckled, he knew what Draco meant.

"Rest assured, we will win." Sauron said confidently, "Remember, though, let Flint keep their mouths shut." ”

"Understanding, my Highness." Draco lowered his voice and laughed slyly......

Over the weekend, the Quidditch stadium was once again packed, and although the game was played in Slytherin and Ravenclaw, students from the other two houses also came to watch.

In the center of the field, the players from both sides are in place, and Mrs. Hodge is reading out the rules of the game. The Slytherins wore green uniforms, while the Ravenclaws wore blue.

In the stands, the Slytherins gathered, almost all of them wearing a green salute, and even Sauron wore a green scarf at Isabella's insistence. Across the field from the Slytherins were the Ravenclaw students, all dressed in the blue attire that represented the house. As for the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs, they gathered in groups in other areas of the stands.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood together in a corner of the stands, and just the day before, Hermione and Ron had reconciled, and Hagrid told the three of them the bad news that they had lost the case, and Ron had reached an understanding with Hermione while sympathizing with Buckbeak's tragic experience.

"Malfoy, they look excited, don't they?" Ron frowned and said, "It looks like a win." ”

"They always do." Hermione dismissed, "Arrogant, I bet they're going to lose, you say, Harry." ”

Harry didn't react, his attention was focused on Zhang Qiu, and he didn't come back to his senses until Hermione poked him in dissatisfaction. "What...... Oh...... yes, you're right. Harry coped with the words.

"I wish they would." Ron muttered reluctantly, "Only then can Gryffindor make it to the finals." ”

A whistle sounded, and the players on both sides rushed into the sky and became entangled together. I have to admit that the Slytherin team, fully equipped with Halo 2001, has a big advantage against Ravenclaw, both in terms of speed and agility, the Slytherins are a lot better than Ravenclaw.

The game was intense, but everyone could feel that the Ravenclaws were at a disadvantage, and the disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious, and by the fifteenth minute mark, the Slytherins were already 50 points ahead.

"Not quite right." Harry frowned and said, "The Ravenclaws seem to be in a bad shape, they're a lot slower than they were last time. ”

Harry watched as Zhang Qiu, who was flying around in the sky, looking for the Golden Snitch, and his opponent was Draco. The two men spy on each other and interfere with each other, trying to catch the snitch while preventing the other from catching it.

For a moment, Zhang Qiu seemed to have spotted the Golden Snitch, she swooped down, flashed a Bludger, and flew towards Ravenclaw's goalpost, at which point Draco also saw the Snitch and rushed over at high speed as well. He was much farther away from the snitch than Zhang Qiu, so even though the broom was faster than Zhang Qiu's, he would be one step behind her.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiu seemed to plunge headlong into the water, his speed slowed down suddenly, Draco and her were neck and neck, under Draco's interference, Zhang Qiu failed to catch the snitch, and the golden little thing flew away.

"What happened?" Ron wondered, "Why is she slowing down?" ”

Harry didn't speak, looking at Zhang Qiu in the sky worriedly. Hermione, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the Slytherin audience with her binoculars in her hand - standing in the middle of the Slytherins, Sauron raised his head and his eyes firmly locked on Zhang Qiu on a broomstick......
