Chapter Thirty-Four: Hapless Harry
As we enter November, the weather suddenly becomes very cold. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The mountains around Hogwarts were gray and covered with snow and ice, the lake was frozen cold and hard, and every morning there was a thin layer of frost on the ground.
And the Hogwarts Quidditch match, which the students were most looking forward to, finally began at this time.
Each House Quidditch team has to play a match against the other House's team, and at the end of the day, whichever team has the most points will win the Hogwarts Quidditch House Cup Trophy.
That's the highest honor.
Early in the morning, when Al woke up from his sleep, he saw through the bedroom window that Hagrid was dressed in a long moleskin coat, rabbit fur gloves, and huge beaver boots on the Quidditch pitch, defrosting the Quidditch pitch.
Today is Saturday, and it's also the day Hogwarts hosts its first Quidditch match of the year, which will be played by the Gryffindor team against the Slytherin team.
The Slytherin Quidditch team is the most competitive team in the House Cup ever, and if the Gryffindor team wins today's game, it means they have touched the edge of the trophy with one hand.
Al packed up and went to the Hogwarts dining room, where Hermione, Harry, and Ron were already eating breakfast.
Al sat down next to Hermione, and Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you wake up so late today?" ”
Al shrugged, he picked up a glass of milk and poured it into his stomach, and said, "Anyway, it's Saturday, and there are no classes, so what does it matter if you sleep a little longer." ”
Hermione gave Al a blank look and said, "But Harry is going to play in the afternoon, aren't you worried about him." ”
"It's useless to worry, it's ultimately up to him. ”
Since the last troll incident, Hermione and Al seem to have gotten closer and more inseparable.
And Harry and Ron also began to accept Hermione, and the four of them often mixed together, as if they were a small group.
Few people in the school had ever seen Harry play Quidditch, as captain Wood had decided to keep Harry's participation a secret and to keep him the secret weapon of the Gryffindor team.
However, Harry had to take on the job of being a Seeker, and it eventually leaked out. As a result, some people say that he will fight well, while others think that he plays badly and needs someone to hold a mat under him to prevent him from falling.
Al looked at a book in front of Harry and asked curiously, "What is this book about?"
Harry turned the book upside down and showed Al the cover of the book, which turned out to be Quidditch Tracing the Origins, and Al looked at Hermione, who remembered that the book had been borrowed from the library.
"Hermione lent it to me. Harry opened the book and said, "It's an interesting book, it's an eye-opener for me to have over 700 ways to commit foul plays." ”
Al raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect that there would be so many foul methods in Quidditch matches, and he comforted Harry, "Then you have to be more careful, you know that the Slytherin gang doesn't pay attention to any rules with you." ”
Hermione added, "And that's not all, you know, the Seekers are usually the smallest, fastest players, so almost all of the worst accidents happen to them. ”
"Although there are very few deaths during Quidditch matches, it is said that referees often disappear without a trace and only appear in the Sahara Desert after several months. ”
Harry was the Gryffindor Seeker, and after hearing Hermione's words, Harry swallowed a mouthful of saliva and beat the drum in his heart, and was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast.
Despite weeks of training, Harry was still unconfident about his play. Of course, it was all thanks to the accidents that El, Hermione, and Ron kept instilling in him all those accidents on the court.
Ron looked at Harry and said to him, "Or... Let's go out for a walk with you, with your current state, you can't play your due strength at all. ”
Al could also see that Harry was indeed too nervous.
Swallowing all the food in his mouth, Al stood up and said to Harry, "Let's go, go for a walk in the yard, feel the cold air, maybe you'll feel better." ”
Harry only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, he really needed to relax.
Al and the others made their way out into the cold courtyard, where Hermione used her wand to conjure up a handful of bright blue flames for them to carry around in a jam jar, and they stood with their backs to the flames for warmth.
Ever since Hermione had been through the last time, she hadn't cared so much about breaking the school rules, which had made her so much cuter.
At this moment, Snape passed by the courtyard, and Al noticed that Snape was walking in a strange way, as if he had injured his leg and was limping when he walked.
The Al wanted to get closer, trying to block the light of the flames and keep Snape from seeing, but unfortunately, the weak expressions on their faces attracted Snape's attention.
Snape walked slowly, he didn't see the flames, but he seemed looking for a reason to reprimand them anyway.
Snape stared at Harry condescendingly and asked, "What are you holding in your hand, Potter?"
"It's Quidditch Origins, Professor. Harry showed the book to Snape.
"Books in the library are not allowed to be taken out of the castle," said Snape, "and give it to me, and Gryffindor will be deducted five points for it." ”
Watching Snape limp away, Ron spat on the ground, and he said indignantly, "It's a temporary rule he made, it's disgusting!"
Al looked at Snape's back and asked, puzzled, "What happened to his leg?"
"I don't know, but I hope he chokes on it. Ron gloated.
The group continued to gather around the blue flame to keep warm, except for Harry, who kept his face bitter and looked a little uneasy.
Al asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? It's just that you've been deducted five points, and it's not a big deal." ”
Harry shook his head, and he said, "I want that book back." ”
Ron was taken aback, he said in surprise, "Are you crazy? Snape just took it away, how dare you go to him now." ”
But Harry seemed to be determined, saying, "That book relaxes me, and I really need it." ”
