In the second week of school, a rematch between Gryffindor and Slytherin began, and Slytherin won.

According to Fred and George, Harry had asked Professor McGonagall for his firebolt, but was refused.

Although the match was about whether Gryffindor would win the Quidditch Cup, for Harry's safety, Professor McGonagall would not agree to let him take it away and use it once.

His Light Wheel 2000 hadn't been repaired yet, so Harry had no choice but to ride a meteor onto the field...... Antiques from the Hogwarts broomroom, for first-year flying lessons.

Seriously, the biggest advantage of this kind of broom is that it can be hit casually, after all, you don't have to feel sorry if this thing breaks.

When Kyle saw the broom in Harry's hand, he knew that Gryffindor had lost.

The truth was exactly what he thought, Slytherin had won the game, and when Malfoy caught the Golden Snitch, Harry was still struggling forward.

Deafening cheers erupted from the Slytherin stands, but Gryffindor was silent.

Oliver Wood didn't look at Marcus's smug face and left the field in silence with a broomstick, and the rest of the team followed him.

It's a bit of a misdemeanor to say, but it's good news for Hufflepuff, or for the remaining three houses.

If the firebolts are okay, then with the fastest broomstick in the world, Gryffindor will be an invincible team.

But today they only scored 30 points, which is almost equivalent to one less game, which undoubtedly gives the other teams a chance to breathe.

"The next game is the key, no matter what, we can't let them pull away too many points!"

In the common room, Cedric excitedly said: "It doesn't matter if we lose one game, as long as we surpass Gryffindor in the final aggregate, we can still win the championship!" ”

"Captain, are you too nervous?" Mikel said nonchalantly, "Isn't there a problem with the fire bolt, it's just an old meteor...... I dare say Gryffindor must be the bottom team this year. ”

"It's not a problem, it's suspicious, and the professor is checking it."

Cedric corrected, "And I see Professor McGonagall's face very ugly today, and this process will probably end early."

At least by the time we play Gryffindor next month, the results will come out and most likely, it will be on the field. ”

Mikel sat up slightly straight, "Is the news reliable?" ”

"Think about it." Cedric glanced at him, "Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Miss Hooch, what kind of curse can hide from them...... If there was a problem, it would have been checked out a long time ago.

The reason why it has dragged on for so long is nothing more than the professors want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Then ......," Mikel frowned, "I'll keep an eye on Potter and interfere with him snatching the Golden Snitch." ”

"No!"

Cedric shook his head.

"If it's a light wheel 2000, it's still possible, but the fire crossbow bolt ...... Seriously, Bludger's speed can't keep up with it at all.

As far as I know, the Quidditch World Cup has made new Bludgers and Golden Snitch because of this broomstick, but these are tournament-specific, and the school certainly doesn't have them. ”

"So what are we going to do and watch him go and rob the Golden Snitch?" Mikel thumped the couch.

"My plan is for everyone but me to give up the Golden Snitch and you and Will ......" Cedric looked at the other batsman and said in a deep voice, "You two don't need to worry about me the whole time, just protect Kyle and help him score."

In any case, keep the opposing Bludger five feet away. ”

Give up the Golden Snitch ......

When Cedric, the Seeker, said this, everyone fell silent.

This means that they will give up the rhythm of the game, give the initiative to the opposition, and be completely passive.

It's fine to say that they have an advantage, but if they don't, then Gryffindor can just score points and even seal the win with a match.

If that were the case, they didn't dare to imagine what would happen......

"Wouldn't it be too risky?" Will the batsman frowned.

"Wouldn't it be too risky?" Will the batsman frowned.

"That's the only way we can win."

Cedric said, "I believe in Kyle, he's the best chaser in all of Hogwarts, not one of them...... I'm willing to take a risk. ”

The rest of the team fell silent again.

"Let's hope there's something wrong with that firebolt......" Grace, a new chaser this year, suddenly whispered.

Kyle, who was sitting on the very edge, took a deep breath and didn't speak.

It's a bit stressful......

For this reason, Kyle couldn't escape the three weekly training sessions, and with the Charms and Transfiguration Club, his schedule was full.

Even the special training for Connor's Patronus Charm could only be put on weekend mornings.

When Cedric learned the news, he followed suit a few times, but as Kyle said before, the Patronus would not help him in any way now.

After a few attempts, he gave up.

Before we knew it, February, the bitterly cold weather had not changed, and the match with Gryffindor was approaching day by day, and Professor McGonagall still hadn't returned the firebolt to Harry, but at the same time hadn't taken it away.

Hannah and Susan, who are in third grade, helped out with the ......

They said that after each Transfiguration class, Harry would ask Professor McGonagall for information about the Firebolt.

They heeded Professor McGonagall's answer, and so far, most of the usual spells had been tested, and only one seemed to be a throwing charm.

That's not good news.

Connor's special training was a different story, though, as her Patronus Charm progressed rapidly, and by the fourth time, she had already caught up with Cedric.

In the sky above the room, two clusters of silver light, one large and one small, were chasing each other.

The big one is Kyle's Patronus, and the smaller one is Connor's.

Her Patronus was only the size of a fist, and although it was only a silhouette, the wings and antennae could already be clearly seen.

"Seems to be a butterfly ......"

Kyle said, "Of course, it can't be ruled out that there are other possibilities, such as insects in the shape of ghost-faced moths......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a book flew over.

Connor glared at Kyle angrily.

She'd seen that creature in books.

In terms of shape alone, it is not inferior to the Dementors at all, especially the skull-like markings, and Connor is uncomfortable just thinking about it.

If that were the case, she would rather her patronus be a toad or a caterpillar.

Kyle smiled, he was naturally joking, judging by the size of the wings, it was certain that it should be a butterfly.

By this time, the training that had lasted for nearly a month was basically over, and Connor was faced with the same problem as Cedric, how to turn the silhouette into a true patronus.

And this was also the hardest step, Cedric worked hard for a month, and there was almost no progress.

But if it's just for dealing with the Dementors, it's enough for now, and the light is enough to smash them around.

Kyle then puts away the Patronus and leaves the Room of Requirement with Connor.
