Chapter 400 Firebolt
In Hogwarts, the most difficult thing is the first day of school. Except for a few people, all other students are not happy on this day.
Because this day not only marks the official end of the pleasant holiday, but also makes up homework all night... the common room of almost every college has lights on all night.
But this year is different.
On the first day of school, a message on the bulletin board at the entrance of the auditorium made everyone forget other unpleasant things in an instant.
Professor Lupine's Patronus Charm Club finally started, and the time was set at eight o'clock the next night. The venue was the same as last year, still the auditorium.
"I can not wait any more……"
"I really want to start quickly..."
"Why can't it be tonight..."
The crowd discussed it excitedly.
Although it is rare to see dementors on campus now, the scene that happened on the Quidditch pitch last time was too impressive to forget.
Especially those patron saints who shone with silver light all over their bodies, like elves, made everyone fascinated.
"Oh, is it finally going to start?" Cedric was also a little excited.
His Patronus Charm was stuck at the last step, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't condense those silver lights into a real Patronus.
"Are you going, Kyle?" Connor asked, "Or do you want to stay in the common room?"
"Let's go together, just treat it as an in-depth study." Kyle said, "It is estimated that there will not be many people left in the common room tomorrow, and it is not interesting for me to go back by myself."
In Hogwarts, such large-scale events are not often encountered, and they are definitely not to be missed.
"Look, Harry, Professor Lupine is about to teach us the spell to deal with dementors."
At this time, Ron's excited voice suddenly came from beside them.
"When you learn this spell, coupled with the world's best flying broom and Firebolt, you will definitely be able to beat other academies to pieces..."
Ok?
Cedric's ears moved, and he quickly caught the key point.
He turned his head quickly and asked, "Ron, you just said that Harry bought a Firebolt?"
"Ah, no..."
Ron was taken aback, and quickly denied it, "You heard wrong, I didn't say anything just now."
He just remembered that Wood wanted to use the Firebolt as a secret weapon and not let them tell anyone.
And Gryffindor's opponent in the next match happens to be Hufflepuff.
In other words, this secret weapon is designed to deal with Cedric and Kyle.
Ron quickly thought of an excuse, ready to fool it.
But before he could speak, Harry next to him said directly:
"I didn't buy it. I can't afford a broom that costs so much," he said. "The Firebolt was a present I got for Christmas."
"Hey, Harry!" Ron secretly tugged on Harry's sleeve and whispered, "Is it really okay to tell them that? Don't forget our next match. The opponent is Hufflepuff."
"It's okay, Ron." Harry shook his head slightly, "The Firebolt is the fastest broomstick. Even if I let them know, I won't lose."
"Okay..." Ron sighed.
On the other side, after learning that the Firebolt was a Christmas gift from someone else, Cedric took a deep breath and said enviously,
"I remember you live with your uncle and aunt, they treat you really well..."
"you misunderstood."
When mentioning his uncle and aunt, the smile on Harry's face disappeared, and his expression was so ugly, as if seeing Snape with a grinning face, he quickly explained:
"They couldn't even give me an ordinary broom for cleaning, unless it was broken and unnecessary."
"Not your uncle and aunt?" Cedric was a little puzzled, "Who else would give you such a valuable thing..."
"I don't know either." Harry shook his head, "But Hermione said it might have been given to me by Sirius Black to... um... make me fall down during the game."
"That's her nonsense!" Ron said angrily: "Blake is busy avoiding the dementors, how could he run to Diagon Alley to buy a broom!"
The tips of Ron's ears turned red because of his anger.
"Professor McGonagall also believed this. She actually said she wanted to take apart the Firebolt. That's a Firebolt. Take it apart? How ridiculous!"
Kyle noticed that Hermione was indeed not with them, and the usually inseparable trio was rarely separated.
"It's not impossible." Cedric shrugged and said, "For a gift of unknown origin, no matter how valuable it is, it must be carefully inspected.
Just as a reassurance, don't forget that Harry was going to be flying fifty feet high, and it would be too dangerous to find out that there was something wrong with the broom at that time. "
Ron curled his lips, obviously not thinking of this possibility, and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, Professor McGonagall has also taken the Firebolt, and you probably hope that there is something wrong with it, so..."
He said something more afterward, but it was too low for anyone to hear.
Harry looked a little embarrassed, "Don't get me wrong, does Ron mean that?"
"I understand." Cedric didn't pay much attention to Ron's words.
"What he said is not wrong. If I say that I don't have such an idea at all, I'm afraid even I don't believe it.
But Harry, it was better to lose than to fall out of the sky again.
And now there is still a long time before the game, enough for Professor McGonagall to complete the inspection. "
"Well, I know," said Harry.
The topic is basically over here.
Before leaving, Kyle suddenly looked at Ron and asked, "What if Black really gave that broom."
"Then I apologize to Hermione and Professor McGonagall," said Ron, "but this is impossible."
"I hope you're right."
Kyle walked past Ron, and Harry seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
After returning to the common room, Cedric suddenly slapped his thigh and started pacing aimlessly.
Although he didn't say it, he was still very concerned about Gryffindor getting an extra Firebolt.
He had learned that the Firebolt could accelerate to 150 miles per hour in just ten seconds, and its top speed could even reach three hundred miles.
His Nimbus 1700 can reach a hundred miles at the fastest, so he basically has no chance of winning against the Firebolt.Unless he could catch the Golden Snitch quickly before Harry could react.
But it's just as hard.
Having been an opponent for three years, Cedric knew Harry's strength very well.
He is a very good Seeker, it is impossible to make this kind of mistake, if it is Malfoy in Slytherin, it is still possible.
It won't be like this this year.
"Kyle..."
After Cedric turned around a few times, he suddenly asked: "Do you think there is really something wrong with that Firebolt?"
"It's unlikely." Kyle said after thinking for a moment, "It's not that easy to tamper with a broom, especially a broom like the Firebolt that is sought after by all professional teams, its safety performance is naturally more important.
And it doesn't make much sense to do so, every Hogwarts game has a professor present, even if Harry does fall, it will be fine.
Blake had been to school here before, and he had no reason not to know this. "
"Oh……"
After listening to Kyle's analysis, Cedric sighed quietly and continued to pace.
He had to think about whether there was any way to restrain the Firebolt.
