"Look, I'll just say the weather is bad for Harry," Ivey said, looking at Harry as he was about to be blown off the pitch

"Ivey!" Suddenly, there was a shout behind him

When I turned my head, it was Mike. Out of nowhere, he got an old pilot's hat with goggles on it.

"You're not going to be a traitor," he asked solemnly

"You're crazy," Ivy replied angrily

"Humph! Even though you and Harry have a good relationship, you're a Hufflepuff. ”

Ivy rolled his eyes speechlessly, the damn desire to win, "Don't worry, I wish Harry could lose." ”

"That's best," Mike left satisfied

"What's wrong—" Ivy muttered inexplicably

"Hehe—it seems like the smell of gunpowder is strong every game," Betty chuckled

"It's as if whoever I support will win," he complained, and his eyes turned back to the arena.

On the pitch, the Golden Snitch has not yet appeared, and Gryffindor has an absolute advantage on the field. The score has come to fifty-0

Because they are in the downwind direction, the offensive and defensive advantages are very obvious. With Hufflepuff in a headwind position, you feel awkward no matter what they do. Always too much or too little.

This situation will improve after the exchange of venues. Whenever one side reaches the full hundred first, the two sides will swap courts.

An hour later, Wood called a timeout. This was expected by Ivey, and if Harry's problem was not solved, there was no point in leading the score any more. If you don't have 150 points, you won't win, and if you don't have 150 points, Hufflepuff won't catch the Snitch. If this continues, the game will be endless.

It can be said that although Gryffindor has the advantage on the field, the initiative of the game is on Hufflepuff's side.

The current situation completely responds to the old stalk: the Lion Courtyard is far ahead and can hardly hide the decline, and the Badger Courtyard follows closely behind to show the demeanor of a king

"Can they think of a way?" Betty was deeply suspicious of the heads of the group

"Whoa~ Isn't Hermione going," Ivy gestured. In the stands opposite, Hermione was hurrying to the players' lounge, "Besides, even if they can't think of it, it's nothing." Just lose~"

Soon, the time for a pause came. During this time, the Snitch also made an appearance in the arena.

Harry, who was back on the field, was really different. Still curled up on the broom, but the direction is really clear.

"Rumble—" A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, reflecting the Golden Snitch's whereabouts.

"Harry! Behind you! Wood caught this scene and immediately shouted.

Harry hurried back. I saw that in the gloomy clouds, a golden point of light was erratic and flickering.

He quickly reversed course. Someone can be faster

Cedric's vision on the opposite side was much better, and he rushed forward as soon as possible.

"Both Seekers have discovered the Golden Snitch! The winner is about to be revealed! Lee Jordan's commentary was also appropriately heard. When Slytherin isn't involved, he always gives a very unbiased explanation: "At the moment, Cedric, the Hufflepuff Seeker, is two positions ahead. Not good! Come on, Harry! ”

The emotions of the audience were also mobilized

"Hold on! Cedric! Don't give him a chance, Hufflepuff wins! ”

"Surpass him! Harry"

"Gryffindor wins!"

....

"Which of them do you think will win?" Betty stared at the sky

Her voice just fell. Suddenly—the whole world fell silent

The cheers, arguments, cheers, and explanations came to an abrupt end, and the world seemed to be muted in an instant, and even the sound of raindrops falling and howling in the wind disappeared along with it.

"What's going on?" Betty looked at him

But Ivy didn't hear anything, only her mouth closed open and closed.

Then a terrible chill hit, and ice began to freeze in the stands.

The two looked at each other. This vision was encountered once

"Call the gods and call the guard!" ×2

Ivy and Betty shouted at the same time. The Hufflepuff stands erupted in a dazzling white light.

A warm glow instantly enveloped the stands

"Huh——! Ha ——! What's going on! ”

"I almost ran out of breath!"

"It's a Dementor!"

The little wizards in the stands broke free from the intense feeling of suffocation. One by one, they gasped for breath and looked at the sky with a little fear.

In the air, countless black ghostly dementors surrounded the entire stadium.

"What about the others?" The spells of the two of them could not cover such a large area, and they could only keep the Hufflepuff side for the time being.

"Dumbledore is there too, don't worry"

He didn't finish speaking

"Hmmm—" A long whistle suddenly came from the commentary seat

"Fawkes?" Betty frowned slightly, the voice was familiar.

"It's not"

Ivy looked up and saw a silver-white phoenix rising into the sky. Then he made a big whirl in the air, rolling up a halo of light and spreading out. The dementors in the audience were all struck out a hundred meters away by this invisible ripple.

"Resist the Ring of Fire ~ This is"

"Ivey—heavenly!" Betty's face changed slightly

In the dim sky, a red figure fell at a rapid speed. It was Harry, who was dressed in a battle suit. Critical Moment –

"Shock Stop!" Dumbledore's old, neutral voice echoed through the audience

Ivy raised his staff at the same time, and the silver bull galloped up, turning into a streamer in midair, and carrying Harry to the commentary seat.

"Professor, I'll take Harry to the hospital first," Ivey's voice came from the bull's mouth

"Oh my God~ Is it Ive's patron saint!" Professor McGonagall was shocked

"Go," Dumbledore bowed

With permission, the Patronus once again turned into a streamer of light and flew towards the castle.

Ms. Hodge then declared Hufflepuff the winner

......

Inside the hospital

"I can't imagine it! How could a Dementor get into the school! ”

"That's what they're like – they don't see anyone else's good. If you're happy, it's not happy. ”

"I must learn the Patronus Charm! Teach them well! ”

Why is it so noisy? Harry, who was waking up, was disturbed by the sound of discussion. "Hmm-" he let out a soft groan

There was silence in the room, and everyone turned their heads together and stared at him nervously.

"Guys, can you go out and talk~" Harry said as he struggled to straighten up, his eyes reddened, and he said angrily

"God, you're finally awake!" A large crowd of people surround the bed in surprise "How does it feel!" ”

"How does it feel?" Hearing this, Harry grimaced and said, "I feel like I'd be much better if you could be quieter." ”

"God~ He's all confused"

"Damn Dementors!"

The Twins decisively threw the pot to the Dementors

"Cut~" Harry pouted and yawned again, "I'm in the hospital?" ”

"Otherwise, where could I be," Ivey continued

Harry nodded, looking at the twins, "We lost?" ”

"Diggory caught the snitch. There was no objection to the result, and they won. Even Wood admits it," George said

Harry was a little disappointed because his team lost the game for personal reasons.

I looked around, but I didn't find Wood. He wanted to apologize

"What about the Woods?"

"It's still raining," Fred shrugged, "we think he's trying to drown himself"

Harry blamed himself even more. Sit on the bed, bury your head in your knees, and say nothing.

"Alright, Harry," Fred patted him on the shoulder, "you've never missed the Snitch before. But there has to be a time when you can't catch it."

"It's not over yet," George continued, "and while the initiative isn't in our hands, as long as Hufflepuff loses to Ravenclaw, we still have a chance." ”

"Cheer up, man!"

....

The two talked nonsense, but it didn't have any effect. Ivey didn't interject and wanted to wait until the team's affairs were dealt with.

It didn't take long for the team members to leave. They fought hard in the storm all day, tired and hungry, so they went back to rest first.

"What the hell is going on?" That's when Hermione spoke

"The Dementors attacked me," Harry muffled, "I tried to cast the Patronus Charm to fight, but failed. ”

"It's good that Ivy caught you," Ron had a palpitation, "if you fall so high - I can't even think about it"

"Harry, it's not a good idea to practice with Dementors. Especially if you haven't mastered the spell yet," Ivy reminded him

"Why do Dementors affect me so much? I remember the whole stadium surrounded by Dementors. Harry was a little distressed

"You were attacked because you flew too high, and even Dumbledore released the Patronus and couldn't save you in the first place. Secondly - "Ivy glanced at him" What did you think of when you were attacked by the Dementors? ”

"I heard the sound of my parents being killed by Voldemort for trying so hard to protect me," Harry said in a trembling voice

“...”

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"That's why" Ivy didn't care about his feelings, and said slowly, "You have painful memories that others don't have"

"If you don't want to go through it again, you have to learn the Patronus Charm," Betty chimed in

“..... I see," Harry nodded slightly

"Don't be so pessimistic, let's have some fun" Ron saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and hurriedly spoke.

He took a package, opened it and put it in front of Harry, "Here's your broom"

The crowd turned their eyes to the package

"Are you sure it's a happy thing?" Ivy looked at Ron and complained rather speechlessly.

Harry stared blankly at his broom, too. I saw that inside the package, the original beautiful broom of the light wheel has turned into a pile of broken wood at the moment.

"What's going on .... My broom .... How so! Harry was in a state of bewilderment

Seeing this, Ron looked at Hermione in distress

"Uh... It was an accident. When you fell, it was blown away by the wind," Hermione said hesitantly

"And then?"

"And then—I ran into the beating willow."

Harry's heart tightened. He was all too familiar with beating Liu, after all, he had only learned its power last semester.

"That-" Although he guessed the result, he still couldn't let go.

"You know that beating willow," Ron scratched his head, "it's... Belch... I don't like to be hit."

This time Harry didn't speak again. The others understood his mood and did not bother.
