Chapter XXVIII

Li Lin took out the bottle, preparing to walk near Quirrell and throw it down, so as to interfere with his spell casting. But Quirrell's position was diagonally opposite Li Lin, and it would take time to get there, and the crowd around him was so dense and all in the frenzy of the game.

So Li Lin said to Hermione.

"Hermione, you have to be careful, if Harry Potter falls, you use the Levitation Charm." Then he continued to squeeze through the crowd.

By the time Li Lin, Hermione, who had already followed him, struggled through the crowd and came to Quirrell's vicinity, he was stunned to see Neville already standing nearby.

Neville stood next to Snape, who was still staring at Harry Potter without squinting, presumably chanting a rebellious spell.

Neville looked extremely panicked. He looked at Snape and almost burst into tears. But he turned his head to look at Harry Potter again, and finally mustered up his courage to look dangerously on the broomstick. A step forward.

Li Lin was still some distance away from Neville's position, he was really about to cry, it was obvious that the Gryffindors were not the slightest bit prejudiced against Snape, and the first suspect was always Snape.

"Ahh Neville mustered up the courage to do all he could do was yell at Snape. But it has to be said that this shout was successful.

Whether it was preoccupied, chanting the anti-curse Snape, or Quirrell the malicious curser, they were all taken aback. The spell also stopped instantly.

But here's the problem, Snape's magic level is very high, but there is still a certain gap between Quirrell who obtains Voldemort's aura, in fact, if Quirrell is not stopped, in another minute, Quirrell will be able to make Harry Potter fall to death.

Now both stopped the spell at the same time, but Quirrell was a little more powerful on the broomstick. The force instantly suppressed Snape's counter-spell, and Harry Potter's broomstick shook rapidly, forming a large spin in the air. Harry Potter, who was holding the broom with one hand, couldn't hold on at all, and it was visible to the naked eye that he fell from the sky!

Almost instantly, Li Lin reacted. He grabbed his wand in one hand and instinctively cast a spell.

"Levitation Charm." Naturally, it didn't have any effect.

The other hand rests on the leather pocket, ready to release the water flow.

But his movements stopped, and Hermione beside him successfully used the levitation charm, which caused Harry Potter, who was falling rapidly, to stop there, for about a second or two, and then Harry Potter continued to fall, but in fact he was only three or four meters away from the ground.

As Harry fell to the ground, the whole arena was boiling, and the Gryffindors, who had the best relationship with Harry Potter, rushed from the stands to the field, and Mrs. Hodge had already left without looking back on a broomstick, apparently either to find the school doctor or Dumbledore.

Harry lay on the ground in agony, and the people around him watched as his mouth bulged out as if he was going to vomit, and finally, as Harry coughed. A golden thing spat out of his mouth.

The game was over, and Slytherin was naturally very unhappy with the result. However, Professor McGonagall awarded Gryffindor the victory, winning 170 to 60.

Harry was then inspected by the school doctor, who had heard the news.

But Li Lin has no interest in caring whether Harry Potter broke one leg, or two legs or more.

He felt that something was in trouble.

Because of a prophecy, and because of Voldemort's personal choice, he and Harry Potter became the only one who could survive, bound by fate, Dumbledore of course hoped that Harry Potter would defeat the darkness, maybe in Dumbledore's strictness, Harry Potter's student career was like a role-playing game, Dumbledore had laid the groundwork for Harry Potter, as long as he followed his wand, the perfect finale was just around the corner.

But now, the great savior, the two companions around him are more useless than the other. Would Dumbledore want to make a substitution? Especially when Hermione, who was next to her, performed so well.

It's not going to work, it's definitely not going to work. Li Lin had to find a way, he had to find something for Dumbledore to do.

The Quidditch field below them was already in disarray, and even Slytherin and Gryffindor had a serious clash that could be seen from afar as the crowds of supporters of the two teams clash against each other in two different clothes.

Li Lin felt that if this continued, these young and vigorous little guys would have to take out their wands and fight happily sooner or later.

And at this moment, Mrs. Hodge, riding a broomstick, returned, and on the rostrum, a figure appeared there.

Dumbledore.

"Quiet."

A simple word instantly spread all around, and all the teachers and students in the entire Quidditch field, which can be called the entire school, immediately fell silent, and even the movement stopped.

Li Lin stepped back uneasily.

"What's it? Is it a hint? Or is it the spirit of words? ”

He was amazed at Dumbledore's strength, and once again made his choice.

Dumbledore walked down from the podium and dispersed the crowd, he asked Professor Snape, who had hurried from somewhere else, to bring back the Slytherin students, and he asked Professor McGonagall to bring the Gryffindor students back, and he stretched out his wand and pointed at Harry Potter, who immediately floated into the air, as if a mattress had appeared under him, which made his whole body fixed and his posture unchanged. Does not take secondary damage from movement.

Li Lin looked at Snape's dusty appearance, and understood that Snape had already discovered Quirrell's problem, and because Harry Potter was in danger, he pounced on it and hit Quirrell hard. As for whether it can be fought, it's really hard to say. But Voldemort, unsure of Snape's loyalty, would never dare to expose him in front of him.

He watched the crowd, slowly dispersed, and left, and when the two main forces of the conflict left, Gryffindor and Slytherin, the remaining Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were not lively to see, and everyone gradually returned.

Hermione, who was sitting in Li Lin's life, turned to look at Li Lin.

"Can you tell me now, what's going on?"

Hermione pursed her lips with a serious expression.

"I noticed Neville yelling at Professor Snape, who was still chanting incantations, right?"

Her gaze was straight at Li Lin.

"Lin, it's Professor Snape's dark magic, right? You. ”

Li Lin knew that Hermione was already suspicious, of course he had to explain it clearly, because he had talked to Snape about potions in the office, and Hermione doubted Snape's words, so he would naturally doubt Li Lin. In fact, she just didn't believe in this kind of thing, so she asked Li Lin directly.

Now of course, you can't lie completely, tell a lie, and need to make up for it with more truth.

But I can't shake out all the truth, I can't just say that I am the one who wants to be the third generation of the Dark Lord, and the purpose of my arrival at the school is to provoke the battle between the second generation of the Dark Lord and Dumbledore, and then fight with the sandpiper and the clam to make the fisherman profit.

Hermione is a kind person, and she may be misled by the self-centeredness and meanness she expresses when she is unfamiliar, but from the beginning to the end, from the perspective of a friend, she gives silently and never asks for anything in return.

Li Lin didn't want to lose this friend. He was willing to explain to Hermione why he knew so much information, and that was to be able to use a killer weapon.

"Hermione, it's not Professor Snape, the incantation he's chanting is casting a counter-spell, it's a curse, it's Quirrell."

"What? Professor Quirrell?! That's an exaggeration, I mean, he can't even beat a vampire. ”

Hermione looked incredulous.

Li Lin continued to explain.

Neville also thought that Professor Snape was doing evil, and he yelled at Professor Snape, which scared Professor Snape and Quirrell, and Quirrell stopped cursing, but Professor Snape's counter-curse also lost its effect, and Harry Potter fell into the air.

Hermione was skeptical, her brow furrowed. After all, with Professor Quirrell's cowering appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is not as oppressive as Professor Snape's natural villain face. Whoever says it will think that Professor Snape is the bad guy.

"But why would Professor Quirrell do that?"

Li Lin looked around. There were no other students around, but his voice was lowered.

"Hermione, I'm a prophet."

Hermione's eyes widened suddenly.

"What? You mean, divination, prophet?! ”

Hermione was very interested in divination, but it was not a first-year class, and the so-called prophecy that was learned in the books was uncertain for Hermione, because more than one book contradicted itself. So when she heard Li Lin's words now, she couldn't believe her ears.

Li Lin leaned closer to Hermione, humming closer, and he spoke almost into Hermione's ear.

"You should know the mystery man."

Seeing Hermione's expression instantly solemn, Li Lin continued.

"Don't name him, it's a spell that he will follow through the spell. Now that mysterious man is staying with Quirrell. ”

Hermione covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes revealing horror.

"The room where I practiced spells lately, and the spell I showed you, you should be proficient in it."

Listening to Li Lin's words, Hermione nodded repeatedly.

"I had only seen darkness over the Forbidden Forest, but when I was watching Quidditch, I could see the darkness, right on Quirrell. But don't worry, Dumbledore is the great White Wizard. ”

Hermione's mood gradually stabilized. She stood up, but she was a little unsteady, so she grabbed Li Lin's arm with her hand and supported herself.

"Lin, let's go back to the lounge, I, I don't want to go to dinner."

Li Lin felt a little pity, but looking at Hermione's appearance, he naturally chose to obey. Moreover, what Li Lin said, Hermione did not doubt it at all, and chose to believe it. With such a level of trust, how could Li Lin disobey?

For Hermione, the level of excitement between the dark wizard and the mysterious man is not the same, the dark wizard just makes Hermione feel uneasy, she is worried that Li Lin is bewitched by the dark wizard. But the Mystic Man was terrifying to Hermione, as the Mystic Man killed countless wizards, most favorably half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards.

When she chatted with Li Lin before, she learned that the reason why Li Lin had a few strands of brown hair mixed with his blonde hair was because his ancestors had married a Muggle-born wizard, so Li Lin could be said to be mixed-blood.

Hermione, after all, was just an 11-year-old girl.

Li Lin patted Hermione on the shoulder soothingly. He helped Hermione back to the common room, then pulled a large piece of chocolate out of his pocket.

"Hermione, be sure to get some rest."

He looked into Hermione's eyes and smiled.

"You see, I'm a prophet, and I can see that everything is okay."

Hermione, too, smiled, shallowly, but she did smile. She took the chocolate and went back to the girls' dormitory.
