Chapter 15: Wizard Duel?
Harry grabbed his broomstick.
"No way!" Hermione. Granger shouted, "Mrs. Hooch told us not to move...... You're going to get us all in trouble. ”
Harry ignored her. He mounted his broomstick and kicked the ground hard, and he ascended, the air whirring through his hair, and his robes fluttering behind him......
Liu Jiecao looked at the sky and thought to himself that there was indeed a genius in this world, Harry. Potter was self-taught and thoroughly mastered the key to flying on his first flight......
So easy, so wonderful. Harry lifted the broomstick a little more, allowing it to fly higher.
Harry heard the screams and pantings of girls on the ground, and Ron shouted in admiration. He jerked the broom around and pointed it at Malfoy in the air. Malfoy looked taken aback.
"Bring it." Harry shouted, "Or I'll knock you off the broom." ”
"Oh, really?" Malfoy said. He wanted to laugh, but the expression on his face was nervous.
Harry seemed to be born knowing what to do. He leaned forward and gripped the broom with both hands, and it shot at Malfoy like a javelin. Malfoy barely dodged; Harry jerked back and grabbed the broomstick steadily. A few people below are clapping.
"There's no Crab and Goyle here to protect you, Malfoy." Harry shouted.
Malfoy seems to have had the same idea.
"Here, see if you can catch it!" With a yell, he threw the orb high into the air before quickly landing towards the ground.
Harry saw the orb rise into the sky in slow motion, and then began to fall. He leaned forward and pointed his broomstick downward......
In the blink of an eye, he sped down and chased the orb......
The wind whistled in his ears, mingling with the screams of the audience below. He reached out and caught the glass ball a foot above the ground. He straightened the broomstick in time, and then he fell lightly to the grass, holding the memory ball firmly in his palm.
"Harry. Porter! ”
His heart sank suddenly, faster than he had just dived. Professor McGonagall was running towards them. Harry got up from the ground, shivering.
"I've been at Hogwarts for so many years...... Never ......" Professor McGonagall was speechless in astonishment, her glasses glinting with anger, "How dare you...... You're going to break your neck......"
"It's not his fault, Professor......"
"Shut up, Miss Petyer......"
"But Malfoy ......"
"Don't say it. Mr. Weasley. Alright, Potter, follow me. ”
Professor McGonagall put Harry. Potter took him, and many people were worried, especially Ron who looked nervous.
Hermione had an unhappy expression, still feeling that Harry's actions had caused trouble for everyone, and that she would be deducted points again this time.
Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle had smug looks on their faces, and they thought that Harry. Potter is likely to be expelled this time.
However, Liu Jiecao knew. This is actually a typical example of love turning into hate. Perhaps, Malfoy's real thoughts were "Who told you not to be friends with me, so you deserve it", or something like that.
It's a pity. All the students here were completely unaware of the changes that followed, and it was completely different from what these people had imagined. Lucky for Potter, he will be a member of the House Quidditch arena. Become a glorious Seeker and fight for Gryffindor.
As a first-year freshman, he became a Seeker. It's unimaginable. Professor McGonagall thought about it because of her strong self-esteem.
Last year's defeat to Gryffindor by the Slytherins in a Quidditch match made Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor, afraid to meet Snape for several weeks, which was an unimaginable humiliation......
However, Dumbledore would certainly approve such a good deed, and it was a good opportunity to establish prestige for the Savior.
At dinner time, Harry tells Ron what happened after he and Professor McGonagall left the grounds.
Ron was about to put a piece of steak kidney pie in his mouth, but forgot about it halfway through.
"Seeker?" "But a first-year student never -- you must be the youngest house player in years," he said. ”
"It's been a century." Harry said, picking up the pie with his hand and stuffing it into his mouth. After this thrilling encounter in the afternoon, he felt very hungry. "Wood told me."
Ron was so surprised, so shocked. He just sat there, staring blankly at Harry.
"I'll start training next week." Harry said, "Don't tell anyone, Wood wants to keep it a secret. ”
Liu Jiecao sat on the side and said with a smile: "It seems that I want to find out if there is a gambling game in the academy." I'm going to buy you to win, Harry. ”
At this moment, Fred and George Weasley walked into the dining room. As soon as they saw Harry, they walked over quickly.
"That's good." George whispered, "Wood told us. We're also on the College team -- it's batters. ”
"I'll tell you, we're going to win the Quidditch Cup this year." "We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year, we're going to have a big team," Fred said. You must be great, Harry, and Wood was so excited when he told us about it. ”
"We've got to go, though, and Lee thinks he's found a new secret passage that leads outside the school."
"I guess it's the passage behind the statue of Gregory the sycophant, we found it in our first week at school. Good bye. ”
No sooner had Fred and George left than someone very undesirable appeared: Malfoy.
He scoffed, "Eating your last meal, Potter?" When do you get back to Muggles by train? ”
"Now that you're back on the ground, with your little friend by your side, you're bolder." Harry said coldly.
Of course, Crabbe and Goyle were not small at all, but since the guest of honor was full of teachers, they did not dare to make a mistake, so they had to pinch their fingers with gloomy faces.
"I'm always willing to fight you alone," Malfoy said, "and if you're okay, it's tonight." Duels between wizards. Only wands - no touch. What's wrong? I guess, you haven't heard of wizard duels yet, have you? ”
"Of course he's heard of it." Ron said, turning suddenly. "I'm his assistant, who is your assistant?"
Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle, and weighed them one by one.
"Crabbe." He said, "It's midnight, how's that?" We meet you in the prize showroom, where the door is never locked. ”
After Malfoy left, Ron and Harry looked at each other.
Liu Jiecao glanced at Ron, he felt a little abnormal just now, Ron seemed to be overly impulsive, and there was a vague force that stirred Ron's emotions.
Could it be Dumbledore? Liu Jiecao thought.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
"What's the Wizard Duel all about?" Harry asked, "What do you mean by being my assistant?" ”
"Oh, if you die, the assistant will follow." Ron said lightly, finally starting to eat his already cooled pie again. He caught the look on Harry's face and hurriedly added, "You know, though, people only die in a formal duel with a real wizard. At best, you and Malfoy can only shoot sparks at each other. You two know too little magic to really hurt each other. Still, I dare say he thought you'd say no. ”
"What if I wave my wand and I don't react at all?" Harry asked.
"Then throw away the wand and punch him in the nose." Ron suggested.
Liu Jiecao saw that the two of them were excited, and he couldn't bear to tell them that Malfoy was actually playing tricks on them, and the truth that would not appear at night at all.
What's more, telling the truth would ruin Dumbledore's plans, and Liu Jiecao is not so stupid.
"Sorry for the excuse."
A few people looked up and it turned out to be Hermione. Granger.
"Can you let people stop eating here?" Ron said.
Hermione ignored him, but said to Harry, "I couldn't help but eavesdrop on what you and Malfoy were talking about......"
"I knew you would." Ron grunted.
"You must not wander around the school at night, think about how many points you will lose to Gryffindor if you get caught, and you will definitely get caught. You're so selfish. Hermione meant that she was lucky not to have any points deducted during the day, and she didn't want Harry to take the initiative to find trouble and deduct points again.
"It's really none of your business." Harry said.
"Goodbye." Ron said.
Liu Jiecao glanced at Hermione and said, "Don't pay attention to these two guys, they won't listen to your kindness." Don't study too late tonight, I'll have another lesson in my dreams in the evening, it's about flying lessons during the day. ”
Hermione ignored Harry and Ron, and she left with a vague look of excitement. During the day, Hermione didn't make it to fly, she was still too far away. In particular, Harry's performance shocked her, and in order not to admit defeat, she had already made up her mind to try to catch up, but she didn't expect to have a chance tonight.
That night, Harry and Ron's encounter was similar to that in the original story, when they met Neville. The only difference is that because Hermione was distracted by Liu Jiecao's dream lesson, she did not appear as in the original story
Intentionally, Harry, Ron, and Neville were ushered into the forbidden hallway on the fourth floor, where they saw a three-headed dog standing on a trapdoor, as if guarding something important.
What is that dog watching...... What did Hagrid say? If you're looking for something to hide, Gringotts is the safest place in the world - except for Hogwarts, presumably.
It seems that Harry has figured out the whereabouts of that filthy little parcel in Vault 713.
What's more interesting is that in Liu Jiecao's dream, a group of people watched the encounter of Harry and the other three at the same time, just like a live broadcast. (To be continued......)
