At Hogsmeade Station, the returning students got on the carriage and drove to Hogwarts Castle. Because the return dates for students were not very concentrated at the end of Christmas, there were not many people riding the carriage. Ryan and Hercules
Min He easily found an empty carriage and got on it.
"Ryan, what on earth is that pulling the car? Why have I never seen it before?" After getting in the car, Hermione glanced at the front of the car and asked in surprise.
"Thestrals." Ryan replied concisely and concisely. He believed that Hermione must have previewed the entire book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". At this time, just a little reminder would be enough.
"Is it because I saw human death in the pyramid temple?" Hermione suddenly realized after hearing Ryan's answer.
The carriage fell into a somewhat awkward silence. In the silence, the carriage rolled forward. After bypassing the school's black lake, in front of it was a pair of magnificent cast iron doors, with many stone pillars on both sides and winged wild boars at the front.
They saw two more tall, hooded dementors standing guard on both sides of the gate. At the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot.
"Take this." Looking at Hermione sitting opposite, who looked a little unhappy, Ryan took out a soul-guarded rune stone and handed it over. After taking the rune stone, Hermione felt a warm current flowing from her hand.
It emanated from the stone on his body and flowed down his arms and throughout his body. All the pressure and cold caused by the dementors disappeared.
"I really don't know why these things are sent to the school?" Ryan complained, shaking his head as he looked at the slowly fading gate. However, the rune stone just now proved that besides the Patronus Charm, there are also some other means.
Can be used against Dementors.
I just caught up with lunch when I returned to school, and many classmates looked towards Ryan during the meal. It seems that the news that he has won the Second Class Merlin Order has spread.
Just as he was eating a piece of grilled chicken breast, someone came over and patted him on the shoulder. Ryan looked up and saw the dazzling red hair. "Ron, long time no see."
"Ah, I didn't expect that your outing this time would be so thrilling. It's not like us being trapped in school and having to endure dementors flying around the school." Ron said with some envy.
"Thrilling? I would rather stay in school and keep company with dementors. This time we almost lost our lives when we went out. If it hadn't been for Ryan's help, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back." After listening to Ron's words,
Hermione said a little unhappy.
"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore." After finishing speaking, Ron turned to Ryan and said: "You know, Harry received a Firebolt for Christmas this time. This is a lesson for us to win the Academy Cup Quidditch.
Not small."
"Firebolt? I saw 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 wizards are really
The top-level treasures cannot be bought with Gallon, such as Harry's invisibility cloak. But among the treasures that can be bought with money, the crossbows should be considered the top products.
"By the way, who spent so much money to give Harry such an expensive broom?" Hermione suddenly asked as if she thought of something.
It is normal for her to ask this kind of question, just like if an acquaintance of ours was given a top-notch sports car as a gift one day, he would definitely ask who gave it to him.
"I don't know either." At this time, Harry also walked over from the front. "There is no card, and there is no sender written on it. It is a completely anonymous package."
"Hmm...who would give Harry such an expensive thing without telling him who it is?" Hermione asked.
Before Harry could say anything, Professor Mac came over and said, "I heard someone gave you a broomstick, Potter."
After asking clearly and not saying who sent it, Professor McGonagall went upstairs with Harry. After dinner, Ryan and Hermione got the class schedule from Professor Sprout and returned to the common room.
I saw a circle of people surrounding it. In the middle, Harry was sitting behind the table holding his head in frustration, while Ron was comforting 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 to be honest, I think Professor McGonagall
You're right. Harry always gets into trouble on the Quidditch pitch every year, what if something happens again because of this broom?"
"Who told Professor McGonagall?" Ron pressed Harry's shoulder and stood up, looking at the circle of people around him.
When Ryan saw that the situation was not good, he quickly squeezed to the front and said to Ron: "Don't doubt your classmates, it's been a Christmas vacation since I got this broom. Have you been hiding this broom and not telling anyone else during this period?"
?”
At this time, Harry pulled Ron's clothes and asked him to sit down, and then said to the students around him: "I'm sorry, Ron was just a little too anxious when he saw the Firebolt being taken away. I think this has nothing to do with everyone, after all, during the holidays,
I take the Firebolt to the common room every day to polish it, and it flies around twice in the playground outside. In this case, Professor McGonagall must know that I have a Firebolt."
"Yes." Percy also stood up. "When Harry received such an expensive gift, Professor McGonagall would definitely ask who sent it. If he told the truth, it would be inevitable for the broom to be taken back for inspection. After all, McGonagall
Professor Ge has always been a very serious person and will never be ambivalent about something like this that may harm Harry's life."
Now that the matter had been explained clearly, everyone quickly dispersed. Only Quidditch captain Wood and a few other players gathered around Harry and tried to discuss a solution.
After all, Harry fell from the sky under the influence of Dementors during the last game and lost the game, so the next game was very important. The Firebolt was the most important hope for a comeback, so all the members of the Quidditch team gathered around
Discuss next to Harry, trying to find a way to get Professor McGonagall to return the broom as soon as possible.
"I really don't understand why Ron is so emotional. Doesn't he know that he almost avenged Harry just now? Fortunately, Harry responded in time." Hermione and Ryan said after sitting down on the sofa by the fireplace.
It seems that after Hermione joined the after-school homework group for a few years, her emotional intelligence increased much faster than when she was with Harry and Ron in the original book. Thinking of this, Ryan smiled like an old father and said: "But at least
Such people are straightforward, and when you make friends with them, you don’t need to worry about guessing what they are thinking. After all, no one is perfect in the world. As long as it is not a matter of principle, we must learn to tolerate the flaws of others."
"That's what you said." After finishing speaking, Hermione stared at Ryan and said. "I think I was too proud before and it probably brought you a lot of trouble. Now I think of you when we were doing homework together.
It helped me a lot when others had problems communicating with me. So thank you.”
"It's nothing." Ryan smiled and began to read the notes that Percy had just lent him, while Hermione was also writing. The last night of the vacation was spent in this quiet and warm atmosphere.
