Chapter 299: Collecting Fire Crossbow Arrows

"So you can't ride it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," Hermione affirmed.

"Why?" said Ron unhappily, "Is it all Harry can do with it?"

"Until the danger is ruled out, it is. Hermione said unyieldingly.

"It's the safest broom, and it's not dangerous. Ron looked at Hermione with incredible eyes, who would have thought that a fire bolt, the best broomstick, would be something dangerous?

Hermione scoffed, "It's not up to you to judge whether it's safe or not, it's up to George or Professor McGonagall to decide." ”

Well, although the atmosphere was a little tense, Harry really didn't have the idea of trying the firebolt directly.

.........

At lunchtime, everyone went to the hall, and at this time, the tables in the hall were moved to the place against the wall. In the center of the hall there was only one large table for twelve people.

Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick were all there. Even Filch, the janitor, was there, and instead of his usual brown coat, he had changed into a formal tuxedo, which looked a little old and old.

In addition to Harry, Hermione, and Ron, there were only three students who stayed in the school, two first-year students who looked very nervous, and a sixth-year Slytherin with a gloomy face.

This year's Christmas party was a bit solemn, with most of the students going home and the teachers nervous with each other, in an awkward atmosphere. The students filled their stomachs as quickly as possible, and then hurried out of the table.

Harry and Ron went back to the dorm first, and after a while, Hermione returned, along with Professor McGonagall.

"Is that it?" said Professor McGonagall, staring at the fireplace with her eyes shining at the fireplace, as she walked over, picked it up, and said, "Potter, Miss Granger just told me that someone suspicious gave you a broomstick. ”

Harry stood up, a little overwhelmed, and said, "Yes, Professor, I don't know who sent it to me. ”

"No instructions, no cards and no information, right. Professor McGonagall examined the broom and said calmly.

"Yes, Professor. Harry replied.

"I see. Professor McGonagall said calmly, "I have to take it, Potter." ”

"Uh--" Harry asked in a panic, "is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's not clear yet, and we have to check it to find out. Professor McGonagall said quietly, "I'm not an expert on this, but Mrs. Hooch and Professor Flitwick can easily disassemble it. ”

"Disassemble!" Ron couldn't believe that someone was going to disassemble such a valuable thing.

"It won't take a few weeks. "As long as we're sure it's not anything harmful with it, we'll get it back to you in good condition." ”

Hallimer was silent, not knowing what to say.

Professor McGonagall reassured, "Don't worry, Potter, it's a necessary step. It's impossible for you to use it until we've confirmed if anyone has tampered with it. You can only use it after checking and confirming. ”

Professor McGonagall didn't continue to speak, instead turning around and leaving the Gryffindor common room with her firebolts.

"Well, that's no fun. Ron said with some displeasure.

"It's a matter of course. Hermione said disapprovingly, "Professor McGonagall and I both believe that this broom may have been given to Harry by Sirius Black." ”

Hermione had a point, even the teacher thought so. What's more, the origin of this firebow arrow is indeed unknown, no matter how reluctant Harry and Ron are, they both know that this is an inevitable result.

.......

The days went by, and the two-week vacation was not too short, nor was it very long. The students began to return to the academy one after another, and Gryffindor House began to be popular again, with the laughter of the students, and the atmosphere of the academy became cheerful.

On the eve of the start of the new semester, Wood approached Harry.

"Merry Christmas, Harry. Wood sent his belated wishes, and without waiting for Harry to respond, he hurriedly said, "Harry, you know, the team has a tough task ahead. We have to win all the matches to win this year, and my last year of Quidditch Championship. ”

Recalling Harry's dedication and contribution to the team, and even almost falling to his death, he looked at Harry with some embarrassment.

"I'll do my best. Harry quickly said, "The team is everyone's team, and victory is everyone's wish, no matter what, I won't hold everyone back." ”

"Oh!" Wood said, his expression softening, "I want to say you're the best Seeker and we don't want to lose teammates like you. By the way, I heard you received a fire bolt?"

Ron told Fred that Harry had received the firebolts, and Wood got the news from Fred.

"Sort of. Harry said sullenly.

"Really, really? A fire bolt. Wood asked incredulously, this was the flying broomstick of his dreams, it was the darling of international competitions, and it was used in the Academy Cup, which was a sweep.

"Don't get so excited, Oliver. Harry said gloomily, "We don't know who sent it, it's of unknown origin, Professor McGonagall has taken it." ”

"Why, firebolts can give our team a huge lead. Wood said in an incredulous tone.

"Professor McGonagall needs to check if the firebolts have a curse or sorcery attached to them. Harry explained, "She thought it was most likely sent by Sirius Black, or perhaps Blake's conspiracy." ”

Wood said nonchalantly, "There's no way Blake can buy a firebow bolt, he's been on the run, and he's been hunting him everywhere." He's been hiding in Tibet all the time, how could he go to a Quidditch boutique and buy a broomstick?"

"You don't need to go to the store to buy a firebolt, Professor McGonagall thinks it needs to be taken apart and examined. Harry said lightly.

Wood's face turned pale.

"I'll go talk to Professor McGonagall, Harry. Wood immediately said, "I'll reason with her, a firebolt can be a huge advantage." She, like us, wants the Gryffindor team to win, and I want her to understand the meaning of a firebolt. ”

.........

The next day, the cold wind gusted, and everyone reluctantly got up from the bed early. A new semester has begun, and a new course has begun.
