Chapter 148: Semi-finals
"Hopefully," Ivey smiled, "Professor, it's okay, let's go back first." It's been too long, I don't know what kind of moth Peter will do. ”
"Wait—Blake has asked us to meet tonight under Duke Honey," Lupin called out to him
"Really!" Harry was overjoyed
"No," Ivey refused
"Why?" Harry was puzzled
"It's full of Dementors outside, and you can't get out. If you go through the secret passage, Peter will surely find out. And the Ministry of Magic will definitely increase its efforts to search the surrounding area recently, and if you meet rashly, it is likely to be exposed. ”
"What then?"
"We have to have the right reason to go. For example, next weekend, the third graders went there en masse. ”
"Yes, that's safe," Hermione agreed
"Professor Lupin, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip to inform Sirius. Classroom teachers can travel to Hogsmeade at any time, uninhibited. Moreover, the village of Hogsmeade is not under the surveillance of the living map, and can move freely. ”
"No problem," Lupin snapped
"Then we'll wait for the next meeting to discuss specifically."
"Good"
......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match officially began.
"The race is on. The biggest highlight of the game is Gryffindor Seeker Harry Potter's new broom, the Firebow Arrow. "As soon as it opened, the commentator Lee Jordan was excited" said in "Flying Broomsticks", and the fire crossbow arrow is the first choice of broom in this year's World Cup. Look! Such beautiful curves - it's like my dream girl! ”
"Jordan! Can you tell us a little bit about the game?" reminded Professor McGonagall
"No problem, Professor—we just talked about the curve of the firebolt, which is streamlined because it has an automatic braking device built into it. It's—"
"Lee!"
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the ring. Now Gryffindor's Katie Bale has the ball and is ready to score—"
.....
"Expected. Harry overpowered Cho Zhang," Hermione said happily
"Victory is at hand!" Ron also said excitedly
It's no wonder they're so arrogant. After all, it hadn't been long since the game started, and Gryffindor was already eighty points ahead. If this continues, even if Qiu Zhang creates a miracle and catches the snitch first, Gryffindor will win.
"Ivey" At this moment, there was a sudden shout behind him
A few people turned to see that it was Lupin. Lupin stood by the stairs of the stage, waving at Ivey.
"You guys go on, I'll go over for a moment," Ivey said, and walked over.
"What's the matter? Professor"
"Follow me" Lupin didn't answer, but led him down the stairs.
After coming down, Ivy saw a fierce-looking black dog crouching in the aisle between the two stands.
"You're not going to tell me this dog is him," Ivy stared blankly, with a look of you being teasing me.
"I'd love to say no," Lupin shrugged
"Professor Lupin, I don't think you're a careless person. But—"
"Rest assured. The stadium is crowded today, and the names on the map overlap. It's impossible to find him."
"There are inside lines among the students, have you forgotten?" Ivey said lightly
"I know. But he heard that Harry had a game today, so he had to come over. Lupin smiled wryly, "I think it's safer to take him with him than to let him run around alone." ”
Ivy looked at the black dog speechlessly
"Wang—" The black dog still looked impatient
"How did you get here? It won't be discovered."
"On the other side of the river is the village of Hogsmeade, swim over. When the meeting ends, swim back while there is chaos. It won't be discovered. ”
"You just have a plan in mind," Ivy didn't say much, "Find a remote place and don't expose yourself to public view." ”
"I know"
.....
Back to the stands
"What's the matter?" Hermione asked curiously
"Sirius wants to watch Harry play, and Lupin brought him in." Sweeping left and right, Ivey whispered.
"W-" Hermione lost her voice for a moment
However, Ivy had expected it, and immediately covered her mouth, "Shhhhh
"How could Professor Lupin make such a mistake" Hermione was still thrilled when Ivey let go.
"It has nothing to do with Lupin, Sirius forced it. There was no problem with Lupin's approach."
"What if you find out?"
"According to Lupin, it should be fine. After all, he was one of the inventors of the live point map. ”
"Okay," Hermione still trusts Ren Ivey
"Since it's okay, let's watch the game. Harry grabbed the snitch right away."
Betty's words, let them turn their gaze back to the field. Sure enough, Harry was arm's length away from the snitch. He reached out to grab it
"It's over!" Ron had already uttered a cry of victory
But the mutation suddenly happened
I saw three Dementors descend from the sky
"Dementors!" "It's a Dementor!"
The audience erupted in exclamation
"How dare the Dementors come!" Hermione's voice trembled
"Not true. Not a Dementor," Betty frowned
"Well, there's no suffocating feeling. And it's not just three," Ivy said
As if in response to his words. Harry quickly pulled out his wand and said, "Call the Divine Guard!" ”
A vague silver-white animal flew out of the tip of the staff and headed straight for the three Dementors. Before he could see the results, Harry leaned forward and held the snitch between his fingers.
At the same time, Ms. Hodge's whistle blew.
"Yay——!" The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers
"Win! Yes! Ron and Hermione hugged each other excitedly
By the time Harry and the others were back on the ground, the Gryffindor students jumped out of the stands and surrounded them like mad dogs.
"It turned out to be Malfoy"
Ivey and Betty didn't move, they watched inside the arena as Slytherin captains Marcus and Malfoy trio struggled to break free from the black cloth. Ms. Hodge stood beside them, seemingly spitting incense.
When they left the court, Ron was still discussing it.
"Only Malfoy's brainless can come up with this kind of attention," the others laughed and bent over
"Let's go Harry, we're all in the break room to celebrate," Hermione was concerned about a party for the first time
"The Patronus is a lot like that," Professor Lupin happened to meet him
"I thought I could do it, but the Dementors didn't affect me. I didn't expect it to be this one," Harry smiled helplessly
"He also asked me to bring you a quote – very wonderful," Lupin said with a laugh
"He watched it too!" Harry was pleasantly surprised
"Hmm"
"This is the best congratulations I have ever received!"
.....
"So the fat lady is back?"
Ive: They were on their way to Hagrid's hut
"Finally I don't have to endure the ravages of Sir Cadogan," Ron relieved
"Dumbledore already knew that Sirius was no threat, and it made sense to exchange the fat lady back." Betty analyzed
"What are Hagrid looking for us? Isn't Buckbeak all right? Ivey asked
"To thank us for our help, he was going to treat us to dinner." Harry replied
"Hagrid invited us to dinner? I knew I had eaten something to cushion my stomach first," Betty said as she touched her belly with some regret
"A little bit of confidence. In the letter, Hagrid said that his cooking skills had improved considerably. Today, we are invited to taste the food that he has researched recently. Harry said two nice words to Hagrid
Betty was silent, "I'm more worried," she thought
Soon, the group arrived at Hagrid's hut
"You're here!" Hagrid greeted everyone directly at the door, "Quick! The dish has just been baked! Served hot"
Hagrid dragged a few people into the house. Once Ivey and the others were seated, a tray was brought out from the back. The top is covered with a hood, so you can't see what's inside. But in the room, there was still a smell of burning.
"This tastes. Do you think you can eat it? Betty asked in a whisper
"I'm not afraid of paste, it's just for people to eat." Ivey doesn't demand much from Hagrid
"Take it easy" Seeing that everyone was nervous, Hagrid relieved, "I've already tried it myself." The taste was amazing"
"Really! Then I'll be relieved," Harry breathed a sigh of relief
"Are you sure you can rest assured?" Ron whispered, "Hagrid gave you the crust cake he tasted too."
“...”
"All right, guys. Keep your eyes open, "Hagrid jerked" special - mink arthropod burger! ”
Everyone looked at the five big black steamed buns on the table painfully
Of course, it's a bit too much to say it's dark. There are also some lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables sandwiched in the steamed bun. But Hagrid seemed to have roasted it, and it looked a little wilted. What's even more exaggerated is that there are four spider feet sticking out of each side of the steamed bun from the inside. Vegetable juice and oil are dripping down the spider's feet.
"How? Not bad, right? Hagrid smiled at the crowd
"Uh..... It's okay," Harry said with a clear conscience
"Hehe-hey - it was the Muggle burger that took me a lot of inspiration. Start with the strongest loin on the ferret, paired with my secret Weasel cheese slices and exclusive glow grass sauce. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable replacement for the side dishes. ”
"Then came my inspiration, so to speak. To add a taste of it, I added fried eight-eyed spider legs to it. The raw material is a newborn spider leg, which is not big or small, and it is crisp and juicy, and the taste is first-class. It can be said that it is a perfect match. ”
After showing off triumphantly, Hagrid urged, "Eat it while it's hot." It's a bit big, I wanted to cut it for you, but I didn't cut it, so let's eat it like this. ”
“...”
"What's wrong? Don't like it? Seeing a few people looking around, Hagrid was a little disappointed.
Hearing this, Betty poked Ivey's waist socket and motioned for him to eat quickly.
"Why should I eat!" Ivy lowered her voice
"You're in the best body, who doesn't eat it," Betty replied with a sense of urgency
The three Harry looked at him as well
"I-" Ivy choked on. He turned his head, "You eat!" Harry"
Harry shook his head and pretended to be dead.
He turned to look at the two ladies again. They didn't speak, just watched him quietly. The meaning is obvious – if you don't go to hell, you go to hell
He turned his head at Ron, "Up!" Ron"
Ron wanted to say something about me
"If you still want to eat something delicious in the future, go for it."
In a word, it choked Ron's lifeline.
“... Damn, Lao Tzu fights! Ron gritted his teeth and picked up a burger.
Seeing this, Ivy also picked up the hamburger. The two looked at each other
"Good brother!"
"Hmm!"
With that, he bit it
