Chapter 31: The First Race to Come

After a long silence in the Headmaster's office, Professor Snape finally spoke:

"By the way, Albus, what is that black flame and frost that Harley is unleashing?

That black flame and frost were so powerful that with just those two spells, Harley was able to kill the troll. ”

"I don't know." Professor Dumbledore crossed his fingers and said calmly, "Those two spells appeared out of nowhere near Harry's eleventh birthday.

I have some guesses about this, but I can't tell you. But I can assure you, that's probably not a bad thing. ”

Professor Snape nodded silently, and quickly turned around and left the Headmaster's office without looking back.

Professor Dumbledore sighed again, and got up and pulled out a large black tome from the bookshelf behind him.

There is a line of vague words on the book, "Cutting-edge Black Arts Revealed".

Dumbledore flipped through the book and stopped on one of the pages.

His fingers flicked over the title of the page, "Horcruxes", and suddenly whispered:

"Do you think if you use a living person as a Horcrux, and the Horcrux is inexplicably broken, what will happen to that living person?"

In the principal's office, all the portraits were silent.

They didn't say a word from the time Professor McGonagall entered the office until now.

When Dumbledore's last words were heard, the Headmaster's office fell into a deathly silence.

Even Phoenix Fawkes, who was eating herbs on the side shelf, felt depressed, and cautiously raised his head to look at Professor Dumbledore's back.

Dumbledore didn't expect an answer, he just looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

The next day, Harley woke up early.

She felt heavy on her body, as if she was weighing on something. When I opened my eyes, I saw Hermione's head resting on her chest.

Hallie had a laughing and crying expression, Hermione's sleep was really bad.

She reached out and pinched Hermione's nose and tickled Hermione's chin.

With Hallie's interference, Hermione finally woke up.

"Good morning...... Hallie......"

Hermione rolled over and landed on top of Harry. She looked sleepy-eyed, her eyes were not fully open, and she just said in a daze.

It was only after a while that she finally came to her senses and noticed the awkward position she was in.

The little girl's face turned red, and she quickly got out of the tent with one turn, without even taking her own pillow with her.

Hallie laughed dumbly, but remembered that the other two roommates might still be sleeping, and stopped laughing.

It wasn't until Hallie had changed her clothes and finished washing up that Hermione finally poked her head out of her tent.

However, when she saw Harry, Hermione couldn't help but shrink her head into the tent.

Seeing her cute appearance, Harley couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Your pillow is still in my tent, don't forget to take it with you." Hallie walked over to Hermione's tent,

"I'm going to the auditorium first, so hurry up!"

As she spoke, Harley couldn't help but pick Hermione's chin again, then picked up her bag and quickly left.

Hermione's face turned red again, and she threw herself back into the tent and began to roll over on the bed.

She was secretly glad in her heart that neither Lavender nor Parvati had gotten up yet to see the scene.

……

What happened at the Halloween dinner had a big impact on Hermione.

At least since then, Hermione doesn't care so much about other people's transgressions, which makes her so much cuter.

Of course, Harley felt that it might not be because of Hermione's personality change, but because she was too clingy to herself and no longer paid attention to other people's violations.

Yes, Hermione is almost inseparable from Harley now. The two took classes together and went to the library together.

While Hallie was training in Quidditch, Hermione was in the stands with her chin dragging and watching intently.

At first, Hallie was also a little worried about Hermione's mental state. But after thinking about it carefully, Harley also thought about it clearly.

An eleven-year-old girl was directly described as a "nightmare" after a long period of cold violence.

There was also a death crisis when she hid in a corner and cried alone.

At this time, a good friend stayed with her, comforted her, and saved her life.

Subsequently, this good girlfriend talked with her all night, enlightened her, and let her out of the haze.

In this case, everyone will have a deformed attachment to their friend!

After figuring out that Hermione was not having a mental problem, Harley also put her mind at ease and concentrated on dealing with the increasingly crazy "star chasers".

The fact that Harley had easily defeated the trolls had gone viral in Hogwarts and amazed many of the older students.

Thanks to Hogwarts' tradition of having a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor a year, many adult wizards don't have this strength!

Therefore, Hallie's image in the hearts of many young wizards has been raised again, and it has become more and more concerned.

……

As we enter November, the weather becomes very cold.

The Quidditch season is about to begin, so the Gryffindor Quidditch team has ramped up their training.

Hallie also took her first Quidditch match very seriously.

After chatting with many children from wizarding families and reading many journals in the wizarding world, Hallie came to appreciate the weight of Quidditch in the wizarding world.

Although there are multiple entertainment activities in the wizarding world, such as wizarding chess, crackling and exploding cards, and high stones......

But Quidditch is always at the top of the popularity charts for entertainment in the wizarding world.

So as long as Harley is determined to show herself as much as possible in Quidditch matches, she will get enough attention.

So Hallie put a lot of effort into it.

Thanks to the Assassin's abilities, Harley has the vision of an eagle and strong night vision, allowing her to quickly catch the Golden Snitch.

So Harley was still very confident, as long as the golden snitch didn't stay hiding in the corners.

Fast forward to the day of the match, with the first confrontation between the old rivals of Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Hallie woke up early in the morning as usual and felt in good shape.

Although it was cold outside, the weather was very sunny and sunny.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Harley heads to the locker room. Hermione and she parted ways to prepare a banner for Hallie.

In the locker room, Wood gave everyone a pre-game mobilization and said it was the best team he had ever led.

Fred disputed this, as Wood had just become captain this year, and this was the first team he had led.

But then he was covered by his twin brother George, as the other team members glared at them.

Wood concluded: "We're the best Gryffindor team in years, so we're going to win.

When the time comes, good luck to us. ”
