Chapter 111: A Boring Farce (The Book Raising Boss Shows His Face)
"So, do you think that the usage of those spells that Luke taught us should be calculated?"
Taylor looked at Hermione a little strangely, a little incomprehensible to her.
Hermione nodded seriously and said, "The few spells that Luke taught, when the two of us used them, there was a big difference in power. ”
Taylor remembered his own fireball the size of a human head, or Hermione's egg-sized fireball.
"That's not going to be the excuse you think......"
Taylor said to Hermione with a bit of amusement as he recalled the embarrassing scene.
But what is surprising is that Hermione did not refute at the first time, but said embarrassedly: "One thing, I thought about it as an excuse at first. ”
Taylor has found himself more and more able to chat over the past two days. Obviously turned off her talent, but she can always talk about things that are embarrassing.
"But since the Halloween party, I started to feel that something wasn't right, Luke's Patronus Charm felt a lot like Flame, but it wasn't like the other spells."
"According to the casting method taught by Luke, although my fire spell is getting stronger and stronger, it is still not as powerful as casting spells in traditional ways."
The look on Hermione's face was confused and solemn: "Although it is very similar to ignoring this matter, I really don't want Luke to use the same spell casting method, but he will be so much stronger than me." ”
Hearing this, Taylor finally couldn't hold back, patted Hermione's tightly clenched hand on his knee and said, "Don't worry too much about this, Luke can't be considered a normal person." ”
Hermione was a genius, even Malfoy admitted. But there's still no comparison with Luke.
"I know, but I don't want to be reconciled to such emotions and it won't go away easily."
Hermione sighed, shook her head, and threw this thought aside: "But I also discovered that the Luke's method of casting spells can be explained by calculation. ”
"Have you found a way to calculate?"
There was nothing wrong with Hermione's words, and Taylor knew that she was able to recognize it because Luke gave a hint when everyone was confused.
Although he just said things like 'change the angle' and 'regularity'. But seriously, Taylor didn't expect Hermione to be so sensitive to such things.
"Oh, it's not me, it's my dad......"
Hermione said with some embarrassment.
But it's good that she didn't speak, but this opening made Taylor even more confused.
"Your dad, he's not a ......"
Taylor couldn't maintain his steady, and his good-looking apricot eyes instantly widened. The mouth opens slightly, and it becomes an O-shape.
"Yes, a Muggle." Hermione didn't take it to heart, as a Muggle wizard, she knew best how much wizards looked down on Muggles.
So when she said this now, she didn't have the slightest inferiority, but was quite proud.
"But my dad told me that if you talk about the rules, then math and calculations might still be true."
"Of course, for now, this is just a conjecture, and I want to find some real evidence before I go and discuss it with Luke." Hermione reached out and pressed her hand back on Taylor's hand, and said seriously, "Help me, Taylor, we can do it." ”
Taylor nodded without hesitation, "It's definitely okay to help you, Hermione, we're friends." But ......"
She hesitated, but then said to Hermione, "But I think it's also necessary to tell you what you've discovered." ”
Hermione frowned, she certainly didn't want to tell Luke that it was just such an idea.
As for the reason......
"Seriously, Taylor." Hermione's expression was actually quite subtle, "I don't think Luke doesn't know about this. ”
Taylor was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses.
Thinking back to Luke's words when he was teaching them, it seemed like there were a few words here and there that she didn't quite understand, but Hermione was a little inspired.
In that sense, is there anything closer to Hermione and Luke?
Taylor came to this conclusion, but she was still an 11-year-old after all, and she couldn't say anything specific, systematic, and logical to describe the similarity.
Hermione looked at Taylor's expression and seemed to think of something, and fell into deep thought.
The two men looked like they were watching Quidditch, but they didn't really care about the players on the field.
Coupled with the silent barrier unfolding around them, they couldn't hear the noise around them at all.
And this was not until Hermione saw the excitement of the people around her with her peripheral vision.
Sensing the abnormal situation around her, Hermione quickly patted Taylor on the shoulder, and while looking at the people around her, she said, "Taylor, put away the enchantment, it seems that something has happened." ”
Taylor finally came back to his senses and looked around, and the Gryffindor students looked a little excited.
She put away the barrier, and then the noisy life poured into her ears almost instantly, making her a little painful.
Accustomed to quiet, even silence, she always finds it difficult to accept such scenes.
So she silently opened the barrier, isolating herself, letting only Hermione's voice come in, and turned on her abilities and poked into Malfoy's head as he rushed over there.
"Harry, this guy was cheated?! Ha, that's a good thing, but Luke is right, making Harry hate me is not capable at all, and making Harry hate me while having to thank me, this is the manifestation of my ability. ”
Malfoy's voice echoed in Taylor's mind.
Taylor felt like he saw a monkey being fooled with a banana. She felt that she couldn't say that the monkey was bad, but that the person who fooled the monkey really had no conscience.
"There's something wrong with Harry's broomstick. It should be that the broom is out of control. ”
Hermione listened outside for a while, and she almost understood what was going on.
"The game may be forced to end."
Then, Hermione glanced at Draco, who was standing beside Ron.
"I didn't expect him to deliver the letter. Is this what Luke meant? ”
Hermione looked at Taylor with some confusion.
Taylor nodded: "This kind of thing, basically there is no doubt. ”
Hermione glanced at Malfoy with a look of almost pity, but withdrew her gaze in the blink of an eye.
It was only when the two of them looked on the pitch that it was now a rickety Harry.
Harry was still sitting on the broomstick, but it was clear that the broom was no longer listening.
There were some people shouting for a hurry to end the game, but others were unhappy with Harry.
Among those who expressed dissatisfaction with Harry were Gryffindors.
"If it doesn't work, change people!"
An unknown Gryffindor student shouted.
"I knew it wasn't a good idea to have a first-year person go to be a Seeker!"
The other shouted in a similar tone.
Although what he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, he even had a bit of a meaning of 'not listening to the old man, suffering in front of him'. But in fact, what you want to say can't be hidden from others.
"You talk nonsense! Harry is amazing! ”
Ron naturally stood up to defend his little friend, and the person who spoke at the beginning glanced at him contemptuously, and then said, "Awesome? Can't even control your own broom like now? ”
Ron wanted to refute, but looking at the tall and fierce-looking seniors, he was a little apprehensive.
"Shut up! Teucer! Percy Weiss saw his brother being scolded, and stood up and said, "If you are not selected, you are not capable, don't make excuses for those who have not been!" Harry is better than you! Everyone saw it during the training match! ”
The young man named Teucer sneered: "A man who doesn't even fight Quidditch still dares to say that I can't do it." Why, Percy, shall we fly one by one? ”
Percy stood up and opened his mouth to retort, but blurted out, "I don't compare with you." ”
The momentum is weaker. Hearing this, Teucer sneered again, and opened his mouth to open his mouth.
Then I heard a calm and clear voice: "If you can't say that a player can't do it, do you still have to play on your own?" We're not good at sports, but that doesn't mean we can't read the ball. ”
Penelope, who was sitting next to Percy, looked at Teucer coldly and said.
"The strength of the players, even if we can't understand them, can't Wood understand them? He didn't choose you because you were worse than Harry. ”
"He's just for Potter's fame!"
Teucer shouted as if he had been stepped on his tail.
"Cut~"
Only Penelope's sneer echoed him.
"What are you doing with us Gryffindors, a Ravenclaw?"
Beside Teucer, another person who spoke said quietly, "Because you're Wesley's girlfriend?" Unfortunately, our good friend Mr. Wesley doesn't seem to have mentioned it yet. ”
"It's none of your business." The look of contempt on Penelope's face didn't change at all.
And the man did sneer: "Are you in a hurry to post upside down?" It's really interesting. Because is Wesley an aristocracy? Penelo: I really didn't expect you to be such a woman. ”
Penelope still didn't keep his demeanor after all. At the same time that his face turned pale, he was ready to retort again.
"Potter's flying skills aren't top-notch, but they're not something you two can discredit me."
Malfoy's trademark, haughty tone of contempt rang out.
He naturally drew everyone's attention.
No way, although a person like Malfoy is hated by many people, he also has the ability to instantly attract everyone's attention to himself.
Looking at the two Gryffindor seniors with pale faces, Malfoy showed a Slytherin's trademark smile: "So this is the 'brave Gryffindor', who only dares to bark behind the backs of others after defeat." ”
Actually, before he said this, some people still had some affection for this little snake who stood up and spoke for Harry.
But now......
"Doesn't he know not to laugh at others when surrounded by people?"
Hermione asked, a little shocked.
The only thing that responded to her was Taylor's blank shake.
And Malfoy didn't seem to sense the unkind look of the people around him at all. The corners of his mouth were still the contemptuous sneer, as if he was ready for another big wave.
"If you're really concerned about Harry, you shouldn't be here talking about these haves and haves right now."
Hermione finally didn't hold back, and opened her mouth to break the scene where Malfoy would be beaten up at any moment.
The relationship between us has eased, but this is really not a reason for you to start a group ridicule.
In Taylor's observation, when Harry was still struggling in crisis, but the people in the audience began to argue, the only person who cared about Harry's life and death was Neville, who was standing at the front of the audience......
Perhaps the savior is not as cared for as much as he and others think.
That's all Taylor can say.
With such a big mess here, it was naturally impossible to hide from other colleges, so like dominoes, the students in the entire audience looked over here, and even the professors were attracted by this side.
Taylor's brow furrowed, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
"That's right! We should save Potter first! ”
Malfoy seemed to finally sense that something was wrong, patted his head, and then dragged Ron in the direction of the referee, Mrs. Hooch.
From Ron's blank eyes, he didn't seem to understand why Malfoy had to run with him.
"Malfoy came to report the news, but why did you run this way first? Can't just tell the referee? ”
Hermione watched their departing backs, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Taylor was silent for a long time, listening to the final whistle in his ears, and the expressions of those who were either relieved or clearly regretful.
She couldn't make out Luke's expression, but she always felt that it wasn't going to be a joy or excitement.
"Probably...... He didn't care if Harry lived or died. Coming here to talk about it first can only prove that Malfoy and Harry have a good relationship. ”
Taylor spoke softly, as if uncertain.
Hermione listened to this, and her face was confused: "Is this important?" ”
Taylor just shook his head.
"I don't know."
As she spoke, she looked at Luke in the distance again. But strangely, Luke, who was still there just now, seems to have left.
There was no one else around Luke. The seats owned by the four colleges are about the same. However, Slytherin has the least number of people, and the snakes like to run small groups, so when Luke is sitting next to someone, few people will come to him to 'socialize'.
So Luke is now in a position where no one is paying attention.
But if someone looked over at this point, they would have noticed that Luke had disappeared.
In fact, he was at the very top, looking down on everything on the pitch and in the audience.
Harry's critical moment. Gryffindor's noise. Snape and Quirrell's struggle.
He has everything in his sights.
At this time, he made a fist with his left hand on his chin, and his right hand rested lazily on the armrest, as if he had no strength. With Erlang's legs, it looks like a play-watching posture.
In the same way, he also had a shallow smile on his face, as if he admired the farce-like game.
But if you look into his eyes, there is almost a lot of indifference. It seems that he has anticipated everything in front of him, and is indifferent.
"Such a farce...... It's really ......."
"Uninteresting."
