Chapter 243 Shock in the Arena

Human beings are always forgetful. Most of the time, no matter how great the hatred is, it will become dim under the erosion of time. In comparison, Glory's tolerance to time seems to be even worse.

People's enthusiasm for Mike and his cram school quickly cooled down, just like those Internet celebrities and Internet celebrity foods that appeared in the era of Internet information explosion in previous lives, as bright and short-lived as meteors.

As a result, on the day of the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff match, Mike discovered that there were far fewer people who had planned to watch the match together.

Mike didn't blame them.

Not everyone likes Quidditch that much, especially since it is raining heavily today. Sitting in a stadium without a roof in this kind of weather to watch a Quidditch match that lasts for who knows how long will undoubtedly take a lot of time. courage.

Mike was not worried about getting wet in the rain. They were not Muggles and there were many solutions to this problem.

Just like waterproof and moisture-proof and thermal insulation spells.

Mike doesn't have to worry about senior students. Basically all of them know this basic magic spell, and even if they don't, the people around them won't refuse to help you put one on.

But things are not going well for the little wizards in the lower grades.

Especially young wizards who are Muggle-born.

Seeing the little wizards around him shivering in the heavy rain, Mike chuckled and led a group of senior students one by one to put on waterproof and moisture-proof and thermal insulation spells for them. He calmed down after receiving their grateful looks. Xu Zuo returned to his seat.

Mike only helped Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students, Gryffindor and Slytherin didn't need his help at all.

Professor McGonagall, who came to supervise the battle, had arranged a transparent shield over Gryffindor's seats early to help his students block the heavy rain.

And Slytherin.

All of them are at least mixed-race, and the magic spell of waterproofing and moisture-proofing is easy to come by.

What if someone inside doesn't know how to do it?

That's because he is stupid. Slytherin never welcomes idiots. Such people deserve to be frozen to death!

Compared with spectators like Mike, players like Harry and Cedric were very pitiful. Due to the rules of Quidditch, they could not carry wands during the game, nor could they use any potions or spells.

So they had no choice but to run to the center of the field and salute each other in the heavy rain.

The heavy rain quickly soaked all their clothes, and the venue was heavily waterlogged due to the poor drainage system. Mike bet that their boots must be full of water now.

It was already very cold in Hogwarts in November. In this environment, the wet clothes on their bodies would continue to absorb their heat until they froze to death.

This is a competition of willpower. In this kind of weather, it is completely wishful thinking to catch the Golden Snitch quickly. Mike estimates that the game will last at least half an hour.

After the referee's order, the two teams of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff jumped into the air, causing a large amount of mud and water on the ground.

As the game started, warm cheers erupted from the audience.

Those who came were all ardent fans of Quidditch, and even the rain from the sky could not dampen their enthusiasm.

There is no doubt that the members of the Quidditch school team are real warriors. Even though it is still raining heavily, and even though the strong wind in the sky is blowing them to the point of collapse, they grit their teeth and continue to throw Bludgers at the strong wind. The opponent's goal.

Such a scene is undoubtedly tragic, and the audience was infected by the warriors in mid-air, and began to give up on the academy battle.

As long as a player puts the ball into the basket, they will give their warmest applause and cheers regardless of whether the scorer is from their own college.

As a result, the players in mid-air became even more enthusiastic, and in this state of mind, the pouring rain and strong wind became not worth mentioning.

Harry was naturally inspired.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult to find the tiny and extremely fast Golden Snitch in this weather. No matter how hard Harry tried, he could not find the golden color.

What Harry didn't know was that in a hidden corner of the auditorium, a large black dog with mottled hair was watching him.

The big black dog looked at it very seriously, its huge head kept moving as Harry moved, and even Mike didn't notice that he was watching him.

As the game progressed, Harry's condition became worse and worse. From the perspective of the audience, Mike could clearly see that Harry became more shaky in the wind and rain.

The big black dog was obviously very restless. His two front paws kept scratching the wooden seat under him, but he still refused to take his eyes away from Harry.

Gryffindor team captain Wood obviously noticed this, so he called a timeout.

At Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle, the players of both teams returned to their respective rest areas.

Mike could see clearly, and Hermione cast a waterproof and moisture-proof charm on Harry's glasses.

Strictly speaking, such behavior is illegal.

But the Gryffindor players had no reason to report their own Seeker. As for Cedric, even though his personality changed drastically, he still maintained his kind nature. Even if he knew about such a trivial matter, he wouldn't care. .

But Mike saw a problem from this matter, a problem with Hermione.

She seems to attach great importance to rules, but in fact she can make them seem like nothing when they infringe on her and the vital interests of those around her.

Many people will think that Hermione and McGonagall are very similar when reading the original work, and even think that McGonagall is the middle-aged version of Hermione.

But in fact, Hermione is still far from it. You must know that McGonagall is a truly upright person.

It is precisely for this reason that many people in the European and American entertainment circles in the previous life did not like the character of Hermione.

After all, not everyone only looks at faces.

The waterproof and moisture-proof spell was released on the glasses, and Harry, who could see clearly, returned to the game.

This time he performed much better than last time, and the big black dog in the stands couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As time went on, the audience's enthusiasm was quickly consumed, and many people began to leave.

At this moment, a flash of gold appeared behind Harry, but Harry didn't notice it at all.

Everyone in the audience could see it clearly, and many people clenched their fists nervously.

Finally, under the reminder of Captain Wood, Harry finally discovered the Golden Snitch behind him, but just when he turned around and stretched out his hand towards the Golden Snitch, countless hooded black shadows appeared on the horizon.

"Dementors!"

I don’t know who was the first to shout out. A commotion immediately broke out in the stands full of people. A few smart people rushed to the exit quickly, but the vast majority of people stared blankly at the camera appearing on the horizon. Soul monster, at a loss.

Harry fell off the broom as soon as he saw those black shadows. The Gryffindor team members were shocked and tried to intercept Harry but to no avail. They could only watch as Harry fell to the ground. There were large splashes of water on the soft lawn.

But Cedric was not idle at this time. He completely regarded the dementors as nothing, penetrated the rain curtain like a sharp arrow, and directly caught the little golden snitch in his hand.

The expected cheers and cheers did not ring out, and the stands were in chaos.

"Don't panic!" Mike raised his arms and shouted, and the voice of the drake in the voice-changing stage was transmitted to the ears of everyone on the field with the loud voice spell. "Do you still remember the Patronus Charm I taught you? Follow me quickly. Let’s recite together! Call upon the gods to protect you!”

A glowing fluorescent raven fluttered its wings.

At this time, people remembered Mike's previous amazing record, and began to rush toward Mike crazily.

The few students who reacted quickly, like Mike, raised their wands towards the dementors that were getting closer and closer in mid-air.

"Call the gods to protect you!"

The sound of chanting curses came one after another. The patron saint spells of these little wizards were not strong. Even the strongest among them, Franklin Penello and others, could only release some light mist.

But the mist of light erupted with astonishing light under the leadership of the crystal white raven, illuminating the stands while also resisting the approaching dementors.

However, it was just a matter of resistance.

There were so many dementors that even with all the strength of everyone on the field, Mike could only stop them.

Suddenly, a blazing light burst out from the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

This light swept over like a wave. The dementors seemed to be very afraid of this wave of light. They began to retreat collectively as soon as they discovered it. However, there were still a few that flew relatively slowly and were caught in the wave. , and soon turned into a ball of fly ash and disappeared between heaven and earth.

To the wizards, this wave of light was like a healing light. Everyone enveloped by the light felt that their bodies quickly warmed up, and happy emotions reappeared.

Everyone unconsciously looked in the direction of the wave of light, and saw that Dumbledore had arrived on the court at some point, and was currently frowning and glaring angrily at the escaping Dementors.

This is the first time that Mike has seen Dumbledore truly angry. The Dumbledore who always had a gentle smile on his face in the past has disappeared. Now what appears in front of Mike is a legendary wizard with infinite majesty!

It seemed that it was the first time for the others to see this side of Dumbledore, and they were all frightened.

But then bursts of deafening cheers erupted from the stands.

The cheers seemed to awaken the angry Dumbledore, who forced out a forced smile and raised his hand to make a silence gesture.

In an instant, the cheers that were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami disappeared. Everyone held their breath and waited for Dumbledore's speech.

"Now, everyone go back to the lounge. Take a good bath, but don't catch a cold!"

The cheers rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.

At this moment, Mike's originally fair and handsome face turned red. He clenched his fists tightly, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

This is not surprising, most of the students around him are also like this, and many of them are even more excited than him.

But Mike's excitement is different from their excitement, because at this moment there is a voice in Mike's heart shouting crazily:

"One day! I will become a supreme being like him!"

No one knows what Mike is thinking in his heart. In fact, no one is in the mood to care about Mike's thoughts at this time.

After everyone returned to Hogwarts Castle, their excitement could not calm down for a long time. Dumbledore's shocking Patronus Curse gave these students a great shock.

But thanks to Dumbledore, everyone now became a fan of the Patronus Charm.

So the students who learned some Three-legged Cat Kung Fu from Mike spontaneously became the advertisers of Mike's cram school.

They frantically showed off their lame Patronus Charm to their friends, harvesting their envy and jealousy.

And because of their behavior, the name of Mike's cram school was finally resounding throughout Hogwarts. These people couldn't even wait until tomorrow, and ran to the lounge of Ravenclaw House that day to look for Mike. , want to join his cram school.

However, they failed.

Mike actually disappeared at this time!

…

On the outskirts of Hogsmeade, Mike was looking for the abandoned house that Lupine was talking about, and Shuk, the house elf, was following Mike closely, looking a little nervous.

It's not his fault. Last time, in order to carry out the task assigned by Mike, Beta was sucked away by several dementors to absorb his happy emotions.

This means that he can only stay at home and rest peacefully. If he doesn't do this, Beta will probably go crazy!

After this incident, Shuke felt that his original master, who always had a gentle smile on his face, had changed and became more and more terrifying!

But who made him his master? As a house elf, it is your duty to obey the orders of your master!

With this in mind, Shuke quickened his pace, came to Mike's side and said, "Master! That room is right in front!"

"Well, I saw it."

Mike answered without turning his head, his eyes fixed on a dilapidated house in the distance.

This is the famous haunted house in Hogsmeade: the Shrieking Shack.

For many years, the villagers of Hogsmeade believed that there were evil spirits living in it because of the howling and howling that came from inside. This was further proved by the fact that no one could enter the house by any means.

Thus, within the closed circle of Hogsmeade, the name of the Shrieking Shack spread.

In recent years, people have noticed that the screams in the Screaming Shack have disappeared, and they have assumed that the evil spirits inside have left.

As a result, the Shrieking Shack has become an important tourist attraction, and almost everyone who comes to Hogsmeade Village will come to appreciate the desolate scenery here.

But still no one dared to actually enter this room.

In fact, the ghost screams heard by the villagers were actually Lupine's miserable howls after he turned into a werewolf because there was no one around him, so he could only scratch himself to relieve the pain.

This house was actually specially arranged by Dumbledore for Lupine to use for his transformation. Even the secret passage under the Whomping Willow was built for him.

In order to ensure that Lupine could transform here safely without being disturbed, and to prevent Lupine from running out to harm others when he turned into a werewolf, a large number of enchantments were attached to this room to ensure that no one inside could escape. Go, no one from outside can come in.

This is the truth about haunted houses.
