Chapter 24: Preparations for Christmas
The next day,
Hermione and Li Yi went to class as usual,
In the past few days, almost all the teachers would praise Hermione's ability to perform magic almost as being the top of her age, and even the so-called noble bloodlines were far inferior to her.
Compared to Hermione's previous desire to gain the approval of the new students of Gryffindor House, she now has a temperament called self-confidence.
It is precisely because of this that the current Gryffindor is no longer more alienated from Hermione, but gradually begins to have a sense of respect. Especially in a conflict with Slytherin, Hermione actually used the Iron Charm to block the attack of five or six people on the other side, which almost instantly made her a hero.
However, Hermione is not going to change her mind because of this, she just wants to study hard, first learn the magic knowledge that is to be taught in school, and then expand it to a deeper level.
That night, she and Li Yi talked a lot, and she already had her own goals for her future life. She wasn't going to be satisfied with just graduating at Hogwarts.
In the blink of an eye, the Quidditch match began, Hermione and Li Yi sat at the top of the Gryffindor booth, she also took a thick book, Li Yi noticed the book cover on it, "Further Research on a Thousand Magical Creatures", the name is very simple, and the book is also very good, it is Newt Scamander's book.
If "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a popular science textbook, then this one is a professional academic textbook.
It had condensed the new blood of Newt Scamander for most of his life, and it included information on all the magical creatures he knew, in great detail.
As Mrs. Hodge blew her whistle, she threw the Quaffle into the sky, and the game officially began.
Li Yi pulled out the book in Hermione's hand, looked at Hermione's somewhat dissatisfied eyes, and persuaded, "Relax appropriately." You can learn these things better if you have Zhang Youchi, so why not take a look at Quidditch? ”
Hermione almost rolled her eyes at him, but in the end she was defeated in the eye contact: "Okay, I'll take a look." But you're going to have to give me back the book after the game. ”
"Definitely."
……
"Harry! Harry's broom threw him off! ”
Gryffindor, who was in charge of commentating the game, exclaimed, he didn't know what was going on, and the Seekers in his house were suddenly almost thrown off by the frenzied broom, which almost meant that they would lose the game. Unless those Slytherins on the other side will wait for them, Harry will be cured and then sent in......
"Oh my God!" There was also an uproar in the stands throughout Gryffindor.
"What's going on?" Li Yi asked, he was not very interested in Quidditch, and after following the beginning of the session, he looked directly at the book, and after casting a small spell to make the words on the book start to read automatically, he began to close his eyes and start listening.
"It's Harry! Sig, look at Harry's broom. Hermione, the narrator, answered his question in a timely manner.
In the Quidditch arena, Harry was holding his broom with both hands to prevent him from falling, and the broom was still shaking to shake him off.
Li Yi immediately remembered this plot, and he looked directly at the stands where the professors were, and sure enough, Snape and Quirrell were chanting spells at the same time. In fact, this alone shows their magical prowess. Casting spells that affect broomsticks without the use of a wand is not something that ordinary wizards can do.
First of all, the broomstick must have a protective charm loaded on it, and secondly, the difficulty of casting spells without a wand has been greatly increased.
Hermione also saw Li Yi's gaze looking at the teacher's seat, and she quickly took the telescope hanging on her chest and looked at it as well.
"It's Professor Snape!"
At this time, Ron suddenly appeared at them, and he asked anxiously, "Hermione, Sig." Is there anything you can do, Harry is dangerous! ”
"Don't worry, Ron. We know who's doing it. Li Yi was about to say Snape and Quirrell's names, but Hermione had already gotten up and left.
"Hermione?"
"Don't worry, I know who it is."
So Li Yi, who couldn't stop it, saw Hermione burn the hem of Snape's clothes, and he thought that this was most likely the end of Snape never giving her extra points. Hermione's hand definitely contained resentment towards Snape.
However, even though she had mistaken the subject, she still hit Quirrell right on the ground.
Snape, who stood up to put out the fire, affected the entire professorship, so Quirrell was also affected, and the evil spell he cast was also affected, and now Harry's broom finally stabilized.
Looking at Hermione, who hurried back, Li Yi suddenly felt that she really still had the temperament of Gryffindor.
……
The match ended with Harry catching the Golden Snitch and Gryffindor triumphing over Slytherin.
After the match, Harry and Ron get an important clue from Hagrid about their next move, Nicol Lemay.
They found Li Yi and Hermione in the auditorium shortly after. Originally, Li Yi didn't care much about this situation, anyway, Mr. Savior's desire to take risks didn't seem to have anything to do with him, he just had a different feeling about Hermione.
However, Hermione's competitive spirit was aroused when she realized that she didn't know who this Nicol Lemay was, and she began to search for Nicol Lemay in the library after finishing her homework each day.
Li Yi wasn't ready to help her, this was her interest, and he didn't need to take shortcuts or anything. Besides, now that he is preparing for the Christmas holiday, he doesn't seem to have much time to pay attention to Nicol Lemay, anyway, in order to let Harry have enough experience, Dumbledore will naturally let him know who Nicol Lemay is when the time is right.
Before she knew it, Christmas was coming, and Li Yi had already greeted Hermione and would go on a trip with her.
For Li Yi, the content taught in the school seemed to be simpler, although his wand sword was a little difficult to manipulate, but he didn't know why he was always able to learn new magic quickly.
Now he can even cast spells without a wand.
He didn't know exactly why his magic power and the control of his magic power had increased so quickly, he suspected that it had something to do with the starry sky and sea in his dream, but with his current methods, he couldn't directly detect any connection between the two.
But now his focus is not here, but somewhere else.
Looking at the test tube in his hand filled with magnificent colors, Li Yi suddenly felt that this world was not so simple.
