Chapter 213 Dementors and Firebolts

At Hogsmeade Station, returning students boarded a carriage and drove to Hogwarts Castle. Because the back-to-school dates at the end of Christmas are not very concentrated, there are not many people on the carriage. Ryan and Hermione found an empty carriage and sat on it easily.

Lane, what the hell is pulling the car, why have I never seen it before? Hermione asked in surprise after looking at the front of the car after getting in the car.

Thestrals. Ryan replied succinctly, he believed that Hermione must have previewed the entire book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and just a little reminder was enough at this time.

Because of seeing the death of humans in the pyramid temple? Hermione suddenly realized after hearing Ryan's answer.

The carriage fell into an awkward silence, in which the carriage rolled forward. After passing the black lake of the school, in front of them were a pair of magnificent cast-iron gates, flanked by many stone pillars, with winged boars at the front, and they saw two more tall, hooded Dementors standing at the gates. guarded on both sides. At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

Take this. Seeing that Hermione's face was a little unsightly, Ryan took out a rune stone guarded by the soul and handed it over. After taking the runestone, Hermione felt a warm current flow from the stone in her hand, flowing through her body along her arms. The stress and cold that the Dementors had brought before were all gone.

I really don't know why these things are sent to the school? Ryan complained while looking at the slowly receding door, shaking his head. But the runestone just now also proved that in addition to the Patronus Charm, there are other means that can be used to fight against Dementors.

Back to school just in time for lunch, many classmates looked towards Ryan during the meal. It seems that the news that he has received the Merlin Medal 2nd class has already spread.

Just as he was eating a piece of grilled chicken breast, someone next to him came and patted him on the shoulder, and Ryan looked up and saw the dazzling red hair. Ron, long time no see.

Ah, I didn't expect you to go out this time to be so thrilling. It's not like we are stuck in the school and have to endure dementors flying around the school. Ron said with some envy.

Exciting? I'd rather stay at school with the Dementors. We nearly killed ourselves when we went out this time. If it wasn't for Ryan's help, I probably wouldn't be back. After hearing Ron's words, Hermione said angrily.

Okay, let's not discuss this. After speaking, Ron turned to Ryan and said: You know, Harry received a Firebolt this Christmas. We won the House Cup Quidditch this time. Not small.

Firebolt? I watched it during the summer vacation. It's not cheap. Ryan said with some envy, Harry's black dog godfather is really rich. The Firebolt is the same as the top sports car in the Muggle world, although the real top treasures of wizards are that Nagaron can't buy, such as Harry's invisibility cloak. But the treasures that can be bought with money or the crossbow arrow should be regarded as one of the top products.

By the way, who paid so much for such an expensive broom to Harry? Hermione asked suddenly, as if thinking of something.

It's normal for her to ask this kind of question, just like if someone around us gave him a top-notch sports car one day, he must ask who gave it.

I don't know either. Harry also walked over at this time. No card, no sender written. Totally an anonymous package.

Well... who would give Harry something so precious without telling him who it was? Hermione asked.

Before Harry could say anything, Professor Mac walked over and said, I heard someone gave you a broomstick, Potter.

After inquiring that it was indeed not said who sent it, Professor McGonagall went upstairs with Harry. After eating, Ryan and Hermione got their timetables from Professor Sprout and returned to the common room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a circle of people around. In the middle was Harry sitting behind the table and holding his head in frustration. Luo Eun comforted him.

What happened? Ryan asked curiously.

Harry's Firebolt was confiscated by Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall was worried that the Firebolt was a trap for Sirius. Percy emerged from the crowd and said to Ryan. But honestly, I think Professor McGonagall did the right thing. Harry always has an accident on the Quidditch pitch every year. What if it happens again because of this broom?

Who the hell told Professor McGonagall? Ron pressed Harry's shoulder and stood up at this time, looking at the people around him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ryan rushed to the front and said to Ron, Don't doubt your classmates, it's been a Christmas holiday since you got this broom, have you been hiding this broom and not telling others during this time? ?

At this time, Harry pulled Ron's shirt and let him sit down, and then said to the students around him: Sorry, Ron was just too anxious to see the Firebolt being taken away. I don't think it has anything to do with everyone. After all, during the holidays, I wipe the Firebolt in the common room every day and fly it twice in the playground outside. Professor McGonagall must know I have a Firebolt in this case.

Yeah. Percy also stood up. Harry received such an expensive gift, Professor McGonagall must have asked who gave it. If he told the truth, it was inevitable that the broom was brought back for inspection. After all, Professor McGonagall has always been a very serious person. There's absolutely no ambiguity about something that could hurt Harry's life.

Now that things have been clarified, everyone quickly dispersed. Only the Quidditch captain, Wood, and a few other players gathered around Harry trying to come up with a solution.

After all, in the last game, Harry fell from the sky due to the influence of Dementors and lost the game, so the next game is very important. And Firebolt was the most important hope for a comeback, so all the members of the Quidditch team gathered around Harry to discuss, trying to find a way to make Professor McGonagall return the broom earlier.

I really don't understand why Ron is so emotional, doesn't he know that he almost made a lot of revenge on Harry just now, but Harry responded in time. Hermione and Ryan said after they sat down on the sofa by the fireplace.

It seems that Hermione's emotional intelligence has grown much faster after joining the homework group for a few years than when she was with Harry Ron in the original book. Ryan thought of this with an old father-like smile and said: But at least this kind of person is straight-forward, and making friends with them doesn't require any effort to guess what they are thinking. After all, there are no perfect people in the world, as long as they are not principled. problem, we have to learn to tolerate the flaws in others.”

That's what you said. Hermione stared at Ryan after saying that. I think I was too arrogant in the past and it must have caused you a lot of trouble. Now I remember that you helped me a lot when I communicated with others when I was doing homework together. So-thank you.

It's nothing. Ryan smiled and began to read the notes Percy had just lent him, while Hermione was writing. The last night of the holiday was spent in this quiet and warm atmosphere.
