Chapter 164: This is Gryffindor, This is Hufflepuff, This is Hogwarts.
They huddled under a large umbrella on the edge of the court.
Harry fell from the sky, took off his glasses and hurriedly wiped them on his robes.
Eagerly asked, "What's the score?" β
"We're fifty points ahead," said Wood, "but, unless we get the Golden Snitch soon, we're going to be late into the night." β
"I can't help it with glasses." Harry said ruefully, waving his glasses.
Hermione in the stands seemed to have noticed Harry's strangeness in the arena, and she had been waiting under the stands early.
Seeing that after Harry fell, she trotted up with her wand against the wind and rain, and the next second, a series of protective charms immediately fell on him.
On the other side, the Hufflepuff players are also together.
"We have to drag it out!" These were Cedric's first words after landing.
"They're strong and we just have to wait for our chances."
"Drag it out, I'm confident I can catch the Golden Snitch before Harry!"
Hearing this, the other team members all nodded.
Although the match only lasted for a short time, they could already see that they were no match for Gryffindor in terms of hard power.
Their only hope is to defend and buy Cedric time.
Hopefully he'll catch the Golden Snitch before Harry. In this way, they have a chance to win.
ββ
"The game is suspended!" In the stands, Hannah craned her neck and looked down.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Owen closed his eyes and replied impatiently, it was the same whether he opened his eyes anyway.
Perhaps, the 4K HD that he made up in his brain could be even more exciting!
Of course, no one will know about the complaints in his heart, not even the wind.
A few minutes later, the game resumed.
Harry rolled over again and soared into the sky.
He brushed his soaked hair away from his eyes and plunged into the clouds.
Thanks to the water avoidance spell Hermione had cast on his goggles, he was finally able to barely see through the heavy rain and see a little farther away.
Of course, Wood wouldn't pin all his hopes on Harry, especially when it was raining so hard and he knew how difficult it would be to find the Golden Snitch.
So he developed an offensive strategy that bordered on madness.
Relying on their hard power, as long as they can pull the score to more than one hundred and fifty points, then even if Cedric catches the Golden Snitch, they can't win.
And Cedric naturally saw Wood's simple strategy.
A hint of panic rose in his heart.
The mouth kept reminding the team members to close the gaps in the defensive front, and never let Gryffindor tear through their defenses.
The game is getting hot and kicking off.
Throughout the sky, the red light kept attacking the yellow light, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
Although the score is rising slowly, it is indeed gradually increasing.
"Gryffindor scores another goal!"
"Angelette, oh my God, a beautiful snake out of the hole! She's got another one! β
"The score has come β 140:30, Gryffindor is in the lead."
The heavy rain also somewhat drowned out the cheers of the Gryffindors.
On the field, Cedric became more and more anxious.
The rain severely affected his vision, and he couldn't see too far at all.
And just when he was flustered.
Suddenly, a golden shadow, like a perch leaping out of the water, flashed in front of him.
Cedric followed, almost reflexively.
And Harry, who had been keeping an eye on Cedric, also noticed his anomaly.
Did he see the Golden Snitch?
Harry couldn't help but feel a little more urgent. Without thinking much about it, he flew straight in the direction of Cedric.
"ThereβHarry, there! Golden Snitch! β
A golden streamer flashed from afar, and the twins, who were batsmen, happened to see that shadow.
In an instant, Harry and Cedric accelerated at the same time.
The wind whistled and slapped on both of them.
The rain hurts like a storm!
Wind and rain poured into Harry's body through the cracks in his clothes.
He was already soaking wet.
But the wind and rain did not make him feel cold, on the contrary, he was hot all over, and his eyes were staring at the golden snitch in front of him as if they could burst into flames.
Not to be outdone, Cedric's Comet broomstick, though not as fast as Harry's Halo 2000, still followed after him, just a few positions slower than Harry.
In the distance, the Golden Snitch flew higher and higher.
Gradually, it burrowed into the sky, into the clouds that shimmered with thunder.
"Click!"
Thunder frowned, hissed, roared, trying to drive the foreign object away.
The dazzling blue-white glitter lights up instantly!
"Harry, dangerous !!" Cedric yelled.
With a good heart, he didn't want to see Harry get injured for the game.
The clouds ahead are spitting out lightning.
It's too dangerous to get into it at this time.
He didn't want to take any chances.
But Harry didn't slow down, he even picked up speed.
That Light Wheel 2000 has reached the theoretical speed limit.
"Harry, don't go over!!" Cedric hissed, holding his hand against the wind and rain that was pouring into his throat in front of him.
Harry was unmoved, as if the wind seemed to completely drown out Cedric's voice.
He didn't hear it.
High in the sky, Harry, who continued to speed up, his fiery red cloak fluttered like a firework, soaring into the sky.
"Click!"
Dangerous thunder was heard again ahead.
Harry gritted his teeth, his hands gripping on the broom, which was trembling in the wind.
At this point, it was as if he was taming a wild horse!
The thunder in front of him Harry was not unseen.
But he knows that for the team to win, the immediate situation may be his only chance today.
The game must end as soon as possible, and he has to save his strength for the team!
for the next Slytherin!
Harry, who was thoughtful, drew his wand from his waist, clutched the broom in his left hand, and raised it straight in his right hand.
Then, the phoenix feather wand shone out a blue substance.
"Armor Talisman !!"
The blue armor is exclusive to the brave.
It shines with a dazzling light, not dazzling, breaking through the thunder!
"Click!"
The lightning was a whip that fell from the sky, and it slammed into Harry's body.
In an instant, his speed stagnated, but in the next second, he lifted it again.
"Harry!!
Cedric had slowed down and flew off the other side.
High in the sky, it was suddenly as bright as day, and he subconsciously looked up.
The rain obscured his vision, but Cedric could still see the figure through the raindrops.
In an instant, a huge sense of shock arose.
His eyes glazed back at the sky, as he watched Harry's figure soar higher and higher.
Ask yourself, whether it's an armor charm, or ultimate protection, or other protective spells, as the best Hufflepuff other than Owen, how could Cedric not?
Butβ
Looking at the faint blue flash soaring overhead, he suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.
He didn't have the courage to move forward.
"Oh! Oh my God, where's Harry? He's not going to rush into that thundercloud! β
Whether it's the stands or the other players present.
They all saw only two figures rushing into the sky, but now only Cedric fell.
Where's Harry?
It goes without saying!
"Oh my God! It's too dangerous. On the high platform of Gryffindor, Hagrid held his huge telescope and stared at the sky, his mouth constantly letting out a wave of exclamations.
He seemed to be able to see clearly what was really going on above the clouds.
"This is Harry! This is Gryffindor! We have nothing to fear!! Ron yelled excitedly!
Excitedly, he lifted the banner that he and Neville had already prepared for Gryffindor.
Isn't this the time to swing?
Shouting, he, along with Seamus and Thomas, began to roar and cheer Harry on.
"Harry! Harry!! Harry!!! β
"Harry rushed!!"
Gradually, the chaotic cheering sound became one.
In the stands of Gryffindor, the slogan resounded in unison: "We are brave and fearless, we are brave, we are courageous, we are Gryffindor!" β
"Long live Gryffindin! Long live Gryffinding!!
Harry Chong!! β
The sound rose high, with stubborn courage and burning enthusiasm. Send them to heaven with their expectations!
At this moment, the Hufflepuffs were eclipsed.
In the professor's stand, Professor McGonagall's eyes were full of excitement, and she had already stood up, holding the wooden handrails of the stand with both hands.
The other professors were cheering on Harry.
"All curses come to an end!!"
The golden streamer once again dispersed a bolt of lightning.
Harry's eyes grew more and more gritty.
He's less than a few dozen feet away from the Golden Snitch!
You'll be able to catch it right away!
Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up again!!
Harry's blood was boiling, his soul was burning, like a brilliant firework, and no one could stop it from blooming in the heavens!
"All curses come to an end!!"
Jin Guang defeated the thunder and lightning again, and his whole person was highly concentrated. I didn't even notice that the raindrops around me gradually turned into fine hailstones.
"Click!"
At this moment, it was as if it was a whisper of fate.
A thick bolt of lightning struck the golden snitch directly.
It came to a sudden standstill, its wings fluttering as if it had sunk into a swamp.
Opportunity!!!
The speed of the broom was so fast that he didn't have time to stop.
It's going to fly!
And in less than a second, Harry's mind instantly chose the most Gryffindor option.
I saw him, and suddenly his right hand suddenly let go.
Let the huge wind in front of him blow him off the broom.
Then, in the process of free fall, the figure broke through the dark clouds, rolled over, and grabbed the little golden thing.
"I won!"
At this moment, Harry couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.
The wind whistling in my ears seemed to have lost its voice.
It wasn't until a cold, ice-like pain of ice cutting through his skin swept past his back that Harry woke up!
When!
He barely turned in the air.
In an instant, the Dementors, who were attending a feast, covered the sky.
Dressed in dark gray tattered cloaks, they fluttered in the air, a pair of rotting hands oozing pus in both directions slowly shaking outside their hoods, and the smell of rotten flesh filling the air.
Harry's entire world turned black and white in an instant, and although the wind in his ears was still as strong as before, he forgot to roar, as if someone had turned off the sound.
"Divine Guard!" He hurriedly raised his wand and reluctantly pronounced the spell in a voice he couldn't even hear.
His wand emitted a silver ray of light that swayed like a flame in the wind and rain, bringing a moment of color to the black-and-white world ruled by the spirits.
But it was only a moment, and this ray of light instantly dissipated, turning into a faint green smoke.
"Hoo God! Bodyguard!! He recited the spell again.
But this time it was even more miserable than just now, with only a few strands of silver light.
Didn't even stop the Dementors from doing a thing.
Then the next moment, there was only pain left in his head, and a woman's scream came to his ears.
No!
The Dementors are sucking his pleasure!
Harry knew. He studied with Professor Lupin for a month.
He had to get as soon as possibleβ
Despite his eagerness, the shadows of hundreds of Dementors made Harry's eyelids heavy.
Dementors from all directions pulled his soul away again and again.
Finally, Harry's mind slackened.
And the result was a loosening of his right hand.
The wand was blown away by the wind in an instant.
"It's over!"
Harry's mind sank, and a huge sense of exhaustion and pain took hold of his brain in an instant.
The figure who fell from a high altitude completely fainted in the next second.
ββββ
The thunder disappeared.
The endless darkness completely enveloped the Quidditch field, and the young wizards finally saw the dementors covering the clouds in the sky, and in an instant, their enthusiasm was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, and in an instant their minds began to recall all kinds of terrible things.
They feel depressed, powerless, and fearful, as if the end of the world has come.
"Owen!" Hannah looked at him screaming.
In an instant, countless intertwined eyes fell on the boy in the Hufflepuff stands, with a disgusted face.
Expectation, pleading, helplessness, hesitation!
All kinds of complex emotions are superimposed, like beings crowning gods.
"I saw it, I saw it!" Owen tilted his head and lazily took out his wand from his raincoat.
The right hand clenched, followed by a rapid shake.
In the next second, the phoenix flying close to the ground rose from the ground.
She spun haughtily in the air, and then rushed unstoppably towards the sky.
"Hoo God!"
The wind overturned him, the rain drowned him, but the proud boy would challenge again and again, and then tear through the clouds, break through the darkness, and dye the sky his color with a brilliant silver light!
Just like two months ago.
"Guard!!"
Even better than ever.
This time, the divine fire appeared almost immediately with the phoenix, and the blue-white soul flame symbolized his most fiery soul.
"Wow~"
Owen let out a loud sneer.
Then he raised his wand and yelled, "For Hufflepuff~~~"
Perhaps it was the Gryffindor's momentum that had just made him feel humiliated, and this time he introduced his voice into the Patronus Charm.
Let the Hufflepuff name resound throughout the canopy!
And he is not the only one who has succeeded in calling out the patron saint.
In the distance, in the stands of Gryffindor, several voices of gnashing teeth and trembling voices with the same conviction, the same wand raised and the spell in their mouths.
Streams of silver light rose from the earth like a dark moon.
Weak, slow, and sluggish, but tenacious, tenacious, and standing.
In the professor's stand, Dumbledore looked at the silver light in the stands in surprise and relief.
I was even more pleased to look at the soaring phoenix in the sky.
He knew that Owen's Patronus was a phoenix like him.
The Patronus represents a hidden, unknown, but inevitable personality of a person, the mysterious self that only ends dormant and awakens when necessary.
The phoenix was obsessed with the quagmire of dark power and great interests, but in the end, when he saw through the fact that it was only Gellert's pursuit of power, he became the greatest force that protected the world.
For many years, his eyes seemed to be intertwined with time and space.
Dumbledore had always thought that Owen was actually more like Gellert, that kind of recklessness, that kind of cleverness, and that kind of means.
But until now, at this moment, driven by Dumbledore's gaze at the phoenix divine fire, the surrounding stands, stars and the dark moon were all together, and he suddenly discovered that Owen was actually more like him, or he who had no family troubles.
It's just another copy of him!
If I didn't have brothers and sisters, and I didn't have tragic family chains, maybe I would be more like Owen now.
"Shock absorption! Stop! β
The old headmaster stretched out his right hand and cast a spell without a wand, and the powerful magic power was like a tray, dragging the figure falling from the sky tightly.
"Calling the Gods to Protect !!"
The rest of the professors also summoned their patron saints one after another, and together with their students, they launched an attack on the heavens.
At this time, the heavy rain seems to be stalled by this huge positive emotion.
The wind and rain have become less.
In the dim stands, like stars in the dark night, silver and white light rose from the stands.
Soon, Owen discovers that Hogwarts is a real fucking roll!
Because in the entire stands, regardless of whether or not the physical patron saint can be summoned, counting the bright light, there are about hundreds, if not more, of silver lights beating at the same time!!
The dense light and mist emitted by everyone joined together, dispelling the fear and cold in an instant.
The spectacular two are in awe and intimidating!
Set you monkey!
Look at this little wizard who is thinking about killing other academies every day, for the sake of a spell, you are all rolled into twisted flowers!
Owen sighed, not knowing how the little wizards of the other academies would feel when they saw this group of fierce guys in next year's Triwizard Battle.
Actually, Owen is probably wrong here.
In other words, he didn't know how the little wizard's heart was surging when he saw that handsome man on the train that rainy night!
Professor Lupin has the most say in this!
After the start of the school year, the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lupin, who was originally going to teach the university to know some dark creatures, was entangled by a group of young wizards before he opened his mouth, crying and shouting that he wanted to learn the Patronus Charm!
That kind of fiery look Professor Lupin had never seen in the eyes of any other age, or the little wizard he had been in school.
Do you think the class is 'funny' against the little wizard of the Boggart?
No!
When people raise their hands, they are 'calling God Guard!' β
No matter what Professor Lupin advises, this magic is very difficult to master, and they should start with simple things, such as.' Funny funny'?
But it doesn't matter if this is not said, Professor Lupin's persuasion has the opposite effect.
Because in the ears of the little wizard, it seems to become--no, little dog, you can't learn this, you look at the little wizards of Gryffindor/Slytherin/Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw can easily learn it.
Also 'funny funny' only losers would use this kind of low-level magic.
The other wizards are all directly 'calling the gods to guard', and you're still 'funny', no, no, you really want to learn this stupid spell!
You're funny.
Most of the little wizards have this mentality of serious involution.
No one wants to be the first to admit that they can't, especially the first!
Even Neville gritted his teeth, except for the first time when he dealt with Boggart, after dressing Snape in women's clothes, the rest of the times he was trembling and screaming!
To be honest, in fact, most of the little wizards are coerced into involution, if there is only one house in the school, then someone will lie down, but Hogwarts has four houses!
If you lie down, it means that your academy is one point weaker than other academies!
Trust me, the other little wizards in the same courtyard can eat it!
Especially as the war in the academy intensified, everyone was trapped in the battlefield of the academy, and no one was willing to admit that their academy was weaker than the others.
Even the introverted Hufflepuff was unwilling.
Even they are still the most arrogant, don't ask, ask is the buddy college cup two consecutive championships, little Gryffindor, Ravenclaw I am afraid that I haven't touched the college cup for eight years!
Whoa, you're really unlucky!
ββββ
On the Quidditch pitch.
Dementors had never encountered such a situation.
In previous years, we were all sucking and sucking, but how did we get beaten and beaten today?
Faced with such a large number of Patronus and a large number of light mist of happy emotions, they retreated in horror.
For the first time, the monsters that had brought despair and fear to others felt the taste of fear itself, and they instinctively wanted to escape.
In the next second, another pleasant chirp came from the highest part of the castle.
It was like Fawkes's voice, and Owen knew that Dumbledore's legendary pet!
The huge silver-white phoenix flapped its wings and rose from the ground as well.
It had a halo more dazzling than any patronus, and all dark creatures were instantly scorched into wisps of green smoke wherever it passed.
Two phoenixes, one older and one small, one older and one weak.
Then, under the influence of Dumbledore's strong positive emotions, Owen's phoenix with a strong aura of death seemed to have a slight sign of nirvana, very faint, but real.
Then the phoenix cried, and her spirit seemed to improve.
The body is also a little bigger than usual.
It is like an elderly person supporting his grandchildren, turning his decades of life experience into gossip little by little, and integrating it into the child's life trajectory little by little.
It is companionship and inheritance.
This is humanity!
The old man will pass it on to his grandson, and the grandson will pass it on to his children and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren will be endless, and the fire of civilization will become brighter and brighter, and finally the future of mankind will be brighter!
