Chapter 114: Preliminary Round in the Rain
The professors cordoned off Hogwarts, and all the students were concentrated in the Great Hall.
The atmosphere on Halloween's Eve was gone, and Harry was asked to describe the process of meeting Sirius over and over again.
"He really ran away when he saw me, I was not mistaken, and I didn't lie!"
"Could it be that because he doesn't have a wand, he didn't do anything to Harry?" Professor McGonagall said with a frown.
"If you catch him, everything will be clear." Snape glared at Harry, as if Harry and Sirius had met on purpose.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the long tables that were full of delicacies just now all automatically leaned against the wall, and a large number of purple sleeping bags appeared in the open space in the middle of the auditorium: "Okay, prefects guard the entrances and exits, and the presidents of the male and female student councils maintain discipline, so let's sleep here today." ”
The professors, under Dumbledore's command, went in pairs to patrol Hogwarts Castle, but Harry thought Sirius must have run out through the route he had entered.
"Harry, it's so dangerous, why did you go to the common room at that time?" Hermione whispered in her sleeping bag.
"I talked to Professor Lupin for a while and almost missed the dinner... I actually missed it, I didn't eat anything tonight. Harry replied in chagrin.
Just now, Harry and Lupin had a good chat about James back then, and also talked a few words about Peter.
This guy doesn't seem to be the same as the rest of the Marauders, but just joined them out of worship of great power.
The trio, as they were all Gryffindor students of the same class, also accepted Peter as their companion.
But everyone agrees that Peter was a timid fellow.
Lupin said this with a strange smile on his face.
Later, however, Lupin's face became a little ugly, and he said that he was not feeling well and would not attend the dinner party in the evening.
Harry took care of him for a while, and at his insistence, he had to leave the office and come down to dinner, only to run into Sirius.
Among the professors patrolling the castle now, Lupin was not seen, and he was really uncomfortable.
Ron pulled out a small package and handed it to Harry. Harry opened it and saw that it was a pumpkin pie.
"The one I left for you just now is still hot, so let's eat it quickly."
"Thanks, buddy." Hungry Harry said sincerely.
For the next few days, everyone was speculating about how Sirius got into the school.
But Harry had little interest in the subject, and he didn't want Sirius to be caught anymore.
He behaved so strangely that night, he didn't look like a madman who wanted to kill Harry to avenge Voldemort, but instead had a shameless feeling of facing Harry.
Harry knew that Lupin felt the same way, and the way he looked at Harry in the last few Defence Against the Dark Arts classes had always been complicated.
When Kano returned, Harry had to force him to tell the truth, he was fed up with Kano's riddles.
Saturday, the first Quidditch of the semester.
Since yesterday, the storm has not stopped. The opening match was supposed to be between Slytherin and Gryffindor, but the Slytherin captain made a random excuse and the match became a Gryffindor-Hufflepuff match.
In the spectator seats, everyone was staggered by the strong wind, the umbrellas in their hands were useless, and the huge raindrops made them shiver.
"I now see how popular Quidditch is in the wizarding world!" Hermione shouted at Ron in her throat.
"Woo-woo?" Ron was about to speak, but he was poured a mouthful of wind.
"yes, this weather should cancel the game, my camera is going to break!" Colin Creevey, as a wizard from an ordinary background, understood what Hermione meant.
Wizards are really a little too fanatical about this kind of game.
"I'm even starting to miss the werewolf research paper that Snape assigned me now!" Ron roared too.
"They're out!" Neville screamed, and saw Gryffindor in bright red and Hufflepuff in pale yellow out of the tunnel from a distance.
Then it was instantly poured into soup chicken.
With great difficulty, they pulled their legs out of the muddy ground, mounted their broomsticks and flew up.
The rain was blocking Harry's vision, and his glasses were blurry. He hovered in the sky for a long time and saw nothing.
For the first time, he had the feeling that the game was going to go on forever.
After all, as long as the Golden Snitch can't be caught, the game won't end. In one of the longest games Ron and Harry had ever talked about, both sides were desperately trying to find substitutes to give the players on the field time to come down and eat.
"Stop! Stop it! Harry! ”
Wood's voice and Mrs. Hooch's whistle were faintly heard, and Wood waved Harry to land.
"I called a timeout!"
When the two came to the big umbrella, Harry flicked his glasses in despair: "With this thing, I have no hope." ”
"I have a way! Harry. ”
Hermione came out of nowhere, took her glasses with a smile, and pointed her wand at it, "Waterproof and moisture-proof." ”
Harry took his glasses and felt like he was back in the real world.
"And this." She gave a few acorns to the Gryffindors and watched them eat them.
The bodies of several people immediately warmed, and white water vapor came out of their ears and eyes.
"This thing... Is Kano back? Harry asked happily, and Hermione nodded vigorously.
At this time, Kano, who had just put down his luggage, came to the stands.
He and Fleur had a cheerful holiday in Ireland, and Fleur, although she was also happy, talked to him seriously.
"At least tell me before you venture out in the future." Fleur struggled to keep her face straight.
"I'm your girlfriend, you can't just go for it without saying a word." Fleur looked at Kano and smiled, pinching his face a little angrily, "Did you hear that?" I'm serious. ”
Kano had no choice but to put away his smile and nodded seriously: "I understand, next time." ”
"And what will you do after I tell you? Don't let me go? ”
"You're not a hot-blooded person, what adventure isn't justified?" Fleur said helplessly, "All I can do is go with you and try to help you, at least not to cause you trouble." ”
Touched, Kano picked up Fleur and spun around several times, then found Sean and Ivor probing their brains through the castle window.
Fresh back at Hogwarts today, he was just in time for this year's Quidditch opener.
Kano vaguely remembered that this time the Dementors would enter the game to cause trouble, and it was not easy to fish in the house, but he still cast a full set of waterproof spells on himself, which was very conspicuous in a group of chickens.
A thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sky, and the audience exclaimed.
The cold sensation crept in, and Kano gripped his wand.
