Chapter 142: Fire Crossbow Arrows

Early Christmas morning, Gryffindor Lounge

"Hey, buddy!"

Harry was awakened by the sound of screams. Before I could open my eyes, I felt a soft cushion hit my head. He sat up in a daze, his head tilted to the side. It seems that although the body is awake, the brain is not awake yet.

"I've opened the gift!" Ron yelled again

"Don't shout~" Harry shook his head, touched his glasses from the head of the bed, put them on, turned over and got out of bed and walked to the pile of gifts.

Ron was already tearing the wrapping paper from his gift, "Another dark red sweater, I guess you have it too," he picked up the garment and gestured in front of him. There was a square blue iron cage next to it, and the mouse spots were quietly cowering around the corner and watching the two of them.

"Well, there is" At the top of the pile of gifts was a Christmas present from Mrs. Molly. After dismantling, in addition to the sweater, there is also a large box of candy.

Set things aside. Then, a long, narrow package came into view.

"What is this?"

"Take it apart and see" Ron was attracted by his words and leaned in.

As soon as he tore open a corner, Harry gasped. The beautiful curves that haunt me, is it....

Three-down-five-dividing by two, tear off the package at the speed of light

"Shhhh

Harry couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his hands several times, tears squeezing out of his eyes before he was convinced.

"It's really a firebow bolt," he muttered

That's right, inside the package is a sparkling, exquisite, expensive-looking broomstick. Harry gently lifted the broom, his eyes affectionate. The palm of the hand is slightly caressed from the top to the tail, back and forth, as if treating one's own lover.

"Who gave it to you? It can't be Ivey," Ron asked in a low voice

"No card, probably not" Harry rummaged through the wrapping paper and shook his head.

"God~ Who will spend that much money for you?" Ron was a little jealous

"It can't be the Dursleys anyway," Harry was the first to rule them out

"It must be Dumbledore!" Ron circled around the firebolts, "He gave you the Cloak of Invisibility anonymously before"

"That's my dad's," Harry said, "Dumbledore just handed it over to me"

"Harry, you're still young. These are just words, "Ron looks like he understands his brother" If you don't say that, if you spread it, others will have opinions and will say that he is biased. ”

"No, it's not him. It is impossible for him to give such a gift to a student. Harry shook his head

"Could it be Lupin?" Ron continued to guess

"Heh-" Harry chuckled, "he'd have had so much gold, he'd already given himself some new robes." ”

"Neither this nor thatβ€”" Ron grabbed his hair and fell to the floor, "Forget it! Don't guess. Anyway, with the Firebolt, we're in control! Hehe, I can't wait to see Malfoy's face when he sees the Firebolt! ”

He was so happy that he looked up to the sky and howled

"I said, what are you two called~" Hermione pushed the door and walked in. She was in average spirits, with dark circles in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? It doesn't look like he's in good spirits. Ron asked

"In order to write a defense, I checked the information for a long time last night. Ohβ€”β€”! He yawned as he spoke

The trio visited Hagrid yesterday. It is learned that in the case of Buckbeak's wounding, Hagrid was not held accountable because of the guarantees made by Dumbledore and Ivey. But Lucius complained about Buckbeak's safety. The Ministry of Magic's Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Animals accepted the lawsuit and will go to trial against Buckbeak. If Hagrid's defense fails, Buckbeak is gone.

So the trio wanted to help prepare the defense

"Please~ Hermione, the court will only start on April 24th, and there is still half a year to go." Ron said unhurriedly

"The more prepared you are for this kind of thing, the better," Hermione didn't bird him. Then he saw the broom in Harry's hand, "This is also a gift?" ”

Hearing this, Ron snatched the broom and showed off the "Limited Edition Fire Crossbow Arrow!" ”

"Looks pretty good," Hermione said casually

"Not bad?" Ron was unhappy with her understated tone, "It's the most dick broom!" Hermione"

"W-worth it?"

"I can't afford to sell me! Much more expensive than all the Slytherin broomsticks combined! ”

"So expensive! Ivey sent it? It's too messy! Hermione was surprised

"I don't know. But if the card is not attached, it should not be him. Harry replied

"Not Ivey. So - who would give you something so valuable, and still not want you to know who it is? Hermione said thoughtfully

"Whatever~" Ron doesn't care about that

"I think it's possible that Blake sent it," Hermione said in surprise

"My godfather?" Harry froze

"Won't it?" Ron wasn't convinced

"Come to think of it, only his relationship with Harry would give such a valuable gift. And apart from Blake, the wanted guy, does anyone else need to be anonymous? ”

"But he's already wanted. How could it be possible to go to the store and buy a gift for Harry! Ron still didn't believe it

"I don't know," Hermione shrugged, "Didn't Harry say there was a way to find him?" Ask me when the time comes. ”

"Do you really have one?" Ron said

"Well, my live map can help." Harry nodded, pulling out a roll of parchment from under his pillow.

The few people who were intently discussing did not notice. When the caged blob saw the map of the living spots, his tiny eyes suddenly lit up.

"Live point map? Is that the one Fred they gave you? Hermione asked

"Right"

"What can a map do~ at most let you go to Hogsmeade Village for a turn"

"It's not just a map," Harry smiled mysteriously, "I'll explain to you then."

"So we're going out for a ride now?" Ron's eyes lit up as he watched the firebolts

"That's what I want" The two hit it off, and Harry hurriedly got dressed, threw the map aside, and ran straight out.

Before Hermione left, she glanced at Spotted in the cage. Spotted honestly stayed in the corner, not leaking anything out of the ordinary.

She nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

The footsteps faded away. After a while, the whole lounge fell silent. Spotted, who was originally waiting quietly in the cage, had a red light flashing in his eyes, and his body seemed to begin to swell.

.....

"Ive~Ive~"

"Hmm-" Ive, who was dreaming, was awakened. Lifting his head from the pair of soft twin peaks, he asked sleepily, "What's wrong?" ”

"Wendy called us," Rebelle said softly. She leaned sideways, her arms resting on her head, and her other hand helped him comb his hair. The sexy* sultry body is draped in a purple silk pajamas, and she doesn't even wear underwear.

"Oh~ get up" pinched a handful of the stiff buttocks* meat, and Ivey got up directly.

"You wash up slowly, I'll go out first and ask about the situation" quickly got dressed, said a word to Rebelle and went out.

On Christmas morning, Ivey was woken up at ten o'clock. Just walked downstairs

"Willing to get up?" Betty sneered on the couch

"Didn't you say that you should simply eat some hot pot at noon? Why are you up and doing so" Ivy sat down next to her, "By the way, what's the plan for the afternoon?" Still going shopping? ”

"No, Hogsmeade in the afternoon." Wendy replied

"Looking for Ms. Rosmerta? But can you find someone today? ”

"She's an older leftover girl and there's nowhere else to go," Erin came down from upstairs

"That's right, can I call Harry and them?"

"Whatever"

"What about Professor Lupin? Do you want to call? Betty looked at the two mothers

"Today's full moon, it shouldn't be convenient for him."

"Okay, that's it."

.....

Hogwarts

The trio tossed fire bolts for a whole morning. Harry and Ron took turns, and even Hermione went up for a ride. There was also a small episode in the middle, when Harry was attacked by several Dementors while he was flying. But it can only be said that it is worthy of fire crossbow arrows, and Harry has forced them to disappear with the performance of a broom.

"It's so enjoyable!" Ron was still reminiscing about what it was like to fly freely

"With it, I believe we will be able to catch up" Hermione was also full of confidence in the firebolt

Crazy enough, Iron Triangle is walking to the castle in rags, ready for a banquet. To celebrate Christmas. At noon, Professor Dumbledore gathered the remaining staff and held a small banquet in the auditorium.

"What are you doing after eating?" Ron didn't seem to be satisfied

"Hmm...."Harry groaned slightly, "How about taking you on an adventure in the afternoon?" ”

"You mean the secret passages?"

"Right"

"Good! I'm going to see what's so amazing about that live map."

"When you're done eating, go back and get the map"

.....

After lunch, Ivey's family prepared to leave for Hogsmeade.

"Rebelle, they can also use Floo powder?"

"As long as the fireplace is connected to the Floo Powder network, anyone can use it," Irene explains

"What about Ollie? She was so small that she had no idea what three brooms were. ”

"The 'Attachment Charm' can do the trick. This is a spell I invented when I was hiding with Betty. It can give the target a trait that makes it an extension of the caster's body. It's like the relationship between hair and head. Of course, it has to be a living thing. Wendy said

"That's good," the mother-in-law is really powerful

"Let's go, Rebelle, you follow us," Erin was the first to walk into the fire

And then Wendy. She took out her wand and pointed it at Ollie in Rebelle's arms, "Be one!" ”。 Then he hugged Ollie and said, "I'll take her away, you follow." ”

"It's your turn, Rebelle," Ivy said after Wendy left, "don't be nervous, just say three broomsticks when you go in." ”

"Hmm" Rebelle took a deep breath and rushed into the flames.

"Let's go," and finally the two of them entered the flames together

Three broom bars

"You're so lonely," as soon as he came out, he heard Erin say cool words

"Yo~ Erin, the unscrupulous, Wendy the long-legged, two busy people still have time to come to my small place." At the moment, the bar was empty. The proprietress was standing behind the counter wiping her wine glasses, revealing a lot of resentment in her words.

The two sides are locked in a standoff, and Ms. Rosmerta's grievances are like substance. Ivy shuddered as soon as he stepped out of the fireplace.
