Chapter 44 The Puzzle of the Bronze Eagle

After Halloween, time has officially entered November, and the temperature around Hogwarts has suddenly dropped a notch.

The original autumn rain no longer fell, and was replaced by blizzards one after another. Every morning, there would be a thick layer of frost on the brick surface of the castle. Wright could see Hagrid defrosting his broomstick on the Quidditch pitch from the window of the castle every day.

Fortunately, the Quidditch pitch has been enchanted by the professors in the school. Otherwise, by the time this year's Quidditch season officially ends, the snow on the Quidditch pitch may not even have melted yet.

Apart from the warm fireplace, the only thing that can help the students drive away the cold weather outside is the Quidditch season of the new school year that is about to begin!

That's right, after six or seven weeks of Quidditch training, Chang Chu will participate in the first game of her life on the first Saturday in November, directly against Gryffindor!

Fortunately, Chang Chu had someone like Wright by her side. Otherwise, with her training intensity, she would have had to lie down in the school doctor's office before the competition officially started.

Especially as the start time of the game gradually approaches, it is not difficult to find that Chang Chu's mood is becoming more and more nervous day by day.

After all, Quidditch involves house points. If Gryffindor wins, their ranking in the House Cup Championship will rise from fourth to third place; if Ravenclaw wins, they will continue to maintain the first place in the House Cup. Location.

Yes, so far, the order of the House Cup Championship is: Ravenclaw first, Slytherin closely followed, Hufflepuff third, and finally Gryffindor.

Hufflepuff, which had been ranked last for ten thousand years, was now ranked third, which made them feel an unexpected surprise.

After all, there is a student named Harry Potter among the freshmen of Gryffindor. In almost every Potions class of his, he will be deducted anywhere from a dozen points to dozens of points by the Potions professor. House points, this undoubtedly greatly lowered Gryffindor's house points.

Fortunately, the Gryffindor students were not dissatisfied with Harry because of this incident. After all, Snape's attitude towards Gryffindor was well known to the whole school, but his attitude towards Harry was the worst. Just the bad one.

Originally, for Ravenclaw, as long as this game did not end with a huge point difference, they could still maintain their dominant position in the competition with Slytherin, although that weak advantage could always be They may all be overtaken.

But Chang Chu's personality is inherently competitive, so she not only treats this competition very seriously, but also always encourages Wright in his ears from time to time to get more academy points.

However, for Wright, since he entered the second grade and discovered that the difficulty of obtaining college points is completely disproportionate to the number of points, his desire to score has declined in a straight line. Although Wright still earned a lot of points for Ravenclaw House, it was much lower than last year.

This also made Penelope complain to him for a while every time she met Wright, and bluntly asked whether Wright deliberately did not compete for points for Ravenclaw House because he hated her as a prefect.

But what troubled Wright the most was not Chang Chu's gradually becoming nervous, let alone the difference in scores between the colleges.

What baffled him the most was that the first game of the year was not between Gryffindor and Slytherin, but between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

Wright remembered very clearly that the first Quidditch match of the year was supposed to be Gryffindor versus Slytherin, and ended with Harry swallowing the Golden Snitch in public.

But now the first game is Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor!

The little butterfly's wings began to flap. Although it was just a change from a small Quidditch match, it was already different from what Wright remembered.

Wright still remembers that one of the system log messages at the time was "The world coordinates have been initially repaired and are expected to deviate from the original world."

Wright didn't know what else this deviation would refer to, but for now, the most obvious one should be Harry's long flowing hair.

…

The day before Chang Chu participated in the Quidditch match, Wright had to pull her to the school doctor's office and ask Madam Pomfrey to prescribe her a sedative to relieve her nervousness, because Chang Chu had already started playing in his ears. He recited "The Amazing Quidditch" over and over again.

But when Wright and Chang Chu returned to the common room of Ravenclaw, he felt that he had been greatly insulted again, by an emotionless dead thing.

"What has four legs in the morning, three legs at noon, and two legs at night?" the bronze eagle in the common room asked Wright in a soft, musical voice.

"Human!" Wright waved his hand impatiently. This bronze eagle should be regarded as the biggest shortcoming in the Ravenclaw common room.

Wright always felt that the questions it asked were generally not interesting questions about the magical world, but were purely brain teasers, at the level of elementary school to junior high school.

"Wrong answer." The bronze eagle continued to say in its gentle voice.

"Human?" Wright opened his eyes slightly, "Isn't the answer to this mystery a human?"

"wrong answer."

"Humanity?"

"wrong answer."

"Homo sapiens?" "Apithecus erectus?" "Australopithecus?"

"Wrong answer." "Wrong." "Wrong."

A vein suddenly appeared on Wright's head.

"Wright, what's wrong?" Chang Chu, who had fallen into a deep sleep after taking a sedative, was awakened by the successive conversations between Wright and the Bronze Eagle. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Wright.

"Sorry, Chang Chu," Wright said apologetically to Chang Chu, "I accidentally woke you up."

"It's okay, I feel like I'm much better now." Chang Chu rubbed his face and instantly regained his original vitality, "What happened just now?"

"It's this hot bronze eagle," Wright is still very angry thinking about it now, "he said a brain teaser! It's super childish!"

Chang Chu walked forward with some interest and knocked on the door of the common room.

"What has four legs in the morning, three legs at noon, and two legs at night?" The bronze eagle asked the same question as before.

"That's the question," Wright complained softly, standing behind Chang Chu, "I've been answering people, but this bronze eagle insists on saying I'm wrong."

"But Wright, your answer is indeed wrong," Chang Chu looked at Wright with some confusion, "Isn't the answer a monster?"

"The answer is correct." The bronze eagle's voice still sounded like music.

Wright didn't think he had heard the question wrong, he just felt that the bronze eagle was a complete insult to his IQ!

He also put his own IQ on the ground and trampled on it!

At least seven times!

"***!" Wright cursed crazily in his mind.
