Chapter 17: Quidditch Matches and Intrigues
Unicorn?
John had a white horse in his mind, with spiraling horns growing out of his head.
Unicorns are synonymous with purity and at the same time a protected species.
Hagrid heard the wail and ran in that direction, a big figure who was not slow.
John's physical fitness is fragile under his innate advantage.
Hagrid, who was accustomed to running in the mountains, ran over without blushing or panting, and John ran with all his might to barely keep up.
At a forest water source, they found a unicorn.
The beautiful unicorn wailed there, and there was a terrible scar on the unicorn's body, and it continued to shed silver-white blood like mercury.
"Approach carefully."
Hagrid spoke vigilantly, his crossbow in his hand, and he would not hesitate to send the other party away with a single shot if there was a situation.
The two cautiously approached the unicorn, and when they saw the unicorn's plight, Hagrid couldn't bear to watch.
"Oh no."
He knelt down to heal the unicorn, but the unicorn was too badly injured.
"No one is going to do anything to a unicorn, except for the madmen who don't want to die."
Hagrid's heart was heavy, and the wound was irreversible.
John's heart sank, unicorns are pure things, even creatures in the Forbidden Forest will not do anything to unicorns.
There was a man in his mind, Quirrell.
It's weird that the other party leaves Hogwarts every night, and now that the unicorn has been attacked again, it's hard to say that it doesn't have anything to do with Quirrell.
"John, let's bury her."
The two accompanied the unicorn on its final journey.
The unicorn gradually lost its life, and finally its pupils lost its luster and collapsed there.
Burying the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid was in a bad mood all the way.
John understood him, Hagrid was originally a man who loved magical beasts, and he must have been in a bad mood to see the unicorn die in front of him.
"Hagrid, look at the point, we need to cheer up."
Inside Hagrid's hut, John tastes rock crust cakes.
It was the cake that almost didn't send him away, and Hagrid gradually improved after being comforted by John.
"It must not be an ordinary incident, and we want to prevent it from happening again." John knew there would be a second time, and he sounded the alarm for Hagrid in advance.
Hagrid said, "John, you're right, we're going to protect those cuties." ”
Cutie?
John felt that only Hagrid would call the things in the Forbidden Forest.
At the end of the patrol, John fed Yaya dog food.
Instead of immediately going back to the break room, he went to the library on the fifth floor.
Expertly making his way to the forbidden book section, John finds the spell about Occlumency.
Now he felt more and more that the crisis was near, and that brain occlusion was imminent.
Going to the Room of Requirement to study, he finally succeeded in reaching level 1 after a night of attempts.
...
On the day of a Quidditch match.
John came to the Great Hall to eat toast, and Hermione coaxed Harry like a sister.
"I don't want to eat anything."
Harry shook his head and rejected Hermione's kindness, he was so nervous that his legs were shaking.
It was a terrible feeling, and he was more afraid that he would lose the game in full view than if he fell off his broomstick.
"Don't be nervous Harry, just be yourself."
John took a sip of water and smiled at Harry, "If you catch up with the Golden Snitch and don't have the strength to catch it, that's bad, get hit by a Bludger, that's even worse, you'll have to go to the hospital for a while." ”
Harry felt justified and reluctantly ate two bites of bread.
He didn't want to be whispered in Madam Pomfrey's ear.
Hogwarts Demolition genius Seamus Finigan asked John curiously, "John, are you going to watch the game too, and see how we fix Slytherin?" ”
"Uh...... I'm Slytherin. ”
"Sorry, I didn't mean that."
Seamus explained in a panic, and John said he understood.
I don't know why, Gryffindor students always subconsciously think of John as a Gryffindor.
Malfoy walked over, accompanied by two henchmen, and snorted coldly when he saw Gryffindor and the pesky Potter.
"Wick, I'll take you to the Quidditch pitch, you don't know where it is." He had a sense of great compassion.
John thought that he was going to Slytherin anyway, so he simply went over together.
After they left, Ron came back to his senses with his mouth wide open and said incredulously, "I'm not mistaken, Malfoy actually invited John." ”
Harry did the same, "I'm tempted to say you're wrong, but I see it too. ”
Seamus simply went straight to the conspiracy theory, and swore that "John must have used the Confusion Charm on Malfoy." ”
Hermione felt that the little lions were a little too aggressive, and wrinkled her nose and said, "John has been doing very well, he has added almost two hundred points to Slytherin." ”
Doing well?
Gryffindor's little lion looked at each other and beat Malfoy at the beginning of the school year, is that good?
They were confused.
...
Quidditch is arguably the hottest sport in the wizarding world, and the huge Quidditch pitch is almost too much for John to squeeze into.
"See, only Young Master Ben can find such a good location here."
Malfoy boasted as if it wasn't John the man who had dragged him up from the stairs he had almost fallen.
Goyle and Crabbe opened the way up front, giving them a good position.
The pitch is divided into two distinct groups, one is the red of Gryffindor and the other is the green of Slytherin.
The two sides hadn't started the game yet, and the audience almost got into a fight first.
With the silver whistle blowing of Ms. Hodge in Flying Lesson, the Quidditch match officially began.
The game's commentator was Gryffindor's Lee Jordan, and Professor McGonagall, a Quidditch loyalist, was next to him.
When Gryffindor scored, he almost jumped up with joy, and after Slytherin scored, he said a few words and was done.
This made John can't help but complain, and no one feels wrong with such naked eccentricity.
After the first goal, John saw Hagrid in the red wave on the opposite side squeezing into the crowd.
Apparently wizards have a hard time resisting Quidditch's temptation, and Ron and Hermione are like two dolls next to Hagrid.
The game was intense, mainly with a lot of fouls.
John had heard no less than five or six angry fouls in the audience, anyway.
It's a pity that Quidditch is not football, and there is no such thing as a red card.
Suddenly, John saw Harry's broomstick writhing up and down like he had drunk fake wine.
He subconsciously glanced at Malfoy, who was gloating at the bad luck of his nemesis, Potter.
"That's right, Malfoy doesn't have the strength." John muttered, but Malfoy didn't hear it.
After watching for a while, Harry's broom was finally restored.
It was John who saw that his dean's robe was on fire, and when he got up, he threw an elbow on Quirrell's face behind him.
"It must hurt."
Unexpectedly, the dean of his own family had practiced, and this elbow almost didn't faint Quirrell.
Anyway, John had seen Quirrell's head hit hard in the back seat, and he hadn't recovered for at least a few minutes.
Recovering Harry, he spotted the Golden Snitch and chased after it, swooping down on the ground and falling to the ground.
He was seen covering his mouth with his hand and spitting out the Golden Snitch.
Lee Jordan immediately announced that Harry had caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game at the same time.
At 170:60, Gryffindor emerged victorious.
John felt a moment of pity and said, "We're missing a good Seeker. ”
With Harry's flying skills and Kryptonite Halo 2000, Slytherin's Seeker is like a piece of wood.
Malfoy nodded approvingly, and after reacting to when he had such a good relationship with John Wick, he left directly.
At the same time, Malfoy also planted a seed in his heart that he must become a Slytherin Seeker and abuse Potter fiercely.
The broomstick gets out of control, and John finds it suspicious.
As to whether his own dean did it, John can only say that Snape is a good citizen.
After all, the infatuated Snape will not hurt Lily's children if he hurts anyone, and he even suspects that if Harry is a girl, it is estimated that Snape will directly switch to play and cultivate.
This is a man who dares to backstab Voldemort for the goddess he has a crush on.
...
"Forget the big dog, forget what it's guarding for, it's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay......"
"Aha, there's a guy named Nicol Lemay involved, right?"
Hagrid's annoyed voice and Harry's inquiry about what he had found.
John, who had come over after watching the game, stood in the doorway and wondered if he wanted to go in now.
Looking at the dog food he brought, he felt that he could wait, but he couldn't wait.
He could already hear the sound of drooling in his teeth.
I don't know how this big dog recognized Tom as the boss for food.
He knocked on the door and opened it, and he saw Hagrid, sulking with an angry face.
Three little ones are also inside.
Well, and the rock crust cake on the table.
Hopefully, Hermione's dentist dad will be able to heal their teeth.
