Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Before Andre could launch a more detailed investigation, the first Quidditch match of the semester had arrived as scheduled.

This forced him to put aside his search for the missing cabinet because the missing diary was more of a headache for him than the missing Jerome.

In his memory, Dobby, the house elf of the Malfoy family, would take the initiative to show up at this Quidditch match. Since the other party prevented Harry from returning to Hogwarts at the beginning of school, logically speaking, he would I won't miss this opportunity either.

If you want to find out to whom Lucius Malfoy gave Voldemort's diary, asking Dobby is undoubtedly a good choice.

"Today's game is against Slytherin. Their captain hasn't come back from St. Mungo's yet. We will win this time." Ron had been preaching about this during breakfast, but he didn't want to do it at all. All members of the Snake Academy are equipped with Nimbus' latest series of flying broomsticks.

However, his prediction was not wrong. The Slytherin team, which lost its captain, did not perform as expected in this game.

The new member of the team, Malfoy, couldn't keep up with the speed of Harry's Firebolt. Even though he was sitting on the latest Nimbus, the difference between the two was greater than Nimbus 2001 and Sweep Seven Stars.

The other members of Slytherin also seemed to have lost their backbone. When facing the two female chasers, Angelina and Aaliyah, they were not as aggressive as before, but rather timid.

This resulted in Gryffindor already leading them by a huge margin when the game reached No. 12 minutes.

Even if Malfoy is the first to catch the Golden Snitch at this moment, the winner will not be them. This kind of thing is not common in previous years. It can definitely be Slytherin's change of clothes before a new captain is elected or Flint comes back. The room is destined not to be as harmonious as before.

But soon something went wrong with the Bludger in the sky. It seemed to be attracted by a magnet and clung to Harry crazily. This made it impossible for him to concentrate on finding the Golden Snitch.

George and Fred also noticed this scene, and they immediately turned their brooms, sandwiching Harry on the left and right like two bodyguards.

But in this way, the two girls on the team lost the protection of the batsman, which changed the originally one-sided situation.

Wood had to shout loudly at the twins, apparently blaming them for not fulfilling their responsibilities.

Only Andre knew that the twins couldn't be blamed, the Bludger had been tampered with by Dobby.

And Harry himself was unable to take advantage of the Firebolt's performance advantages because of the presence of George and George. It could be seen from his face that he was very anxious at the moment.

The already overcast sky also started to rain at this moment. Even the best Quidditch players would have a reduced ability to control their broomsticks during a rain match, not to mention that there were only some students on the field. .

Just now, George failed to knock away the Bludger that suddenly rushed towards him, and only just missed knocking Harry off the broom.

If this continues, I'm afraid the result of this game will not be what the Gryffindor students want to see, because the score on the Slytherin side has become tighter and tighter.

Andre was turning his head at the moment, searching everywhere for the house elf. Unfortunately, the increasing rain blocked his sight. Until Wood applied for a timeout on the court to Ms. Hooch, he still No trace of Dobby was found.

"What's going on?" Ron whispered in confusion in the stands.

Hermione also frowned: "This reminds me of the game last year, when Harry was affected by Quirrell's spell."

It has to be said that the little witch has a very keen sixth sense. Indeed, this game has one thing in common with that one, that is, there are off-field factors affecting Gryffindor's youngest seeker.

It's just that last year's Quirrell was completely out of spite, but this time the house elf Dobby is a typical case of good intentions leading to bad things.

"Can you find a way to counter-spell that Bludger?" Hermione asked Andre.

However, he shook his head. The magic system of house elves is completely different from that of wizards. Unless he has studied the other party's spells in depth, even if Dumbledore chants 'End of Ten Thousand Curses' to the Bludger, it will not do any good. Effect.

This can be concluded from the fact that house elves can even completely ignore the anti-Apparition spell, and Andre had already conducted experiments when he first discovered that there was a problem with the Bludger, but the result was the same as he expected, no play any role.

On the court, Wood and others seemed to have negotiated a result, or perhaps the timeout allowed by Ms. Huo Qi had expired. Anyway, the game restarted soon.

This time George and Fred did not protect Harry as tightly as before, as if the out-of-control Bludger no longer existed.

With the protection of two batters, Angelina and Alia once again exerted their full strength, and the score that had just been overtaken immediately widened the gap.

But in this way, Harry must look for the Golden Snitch while guarding against the attack of the Bludger controlled by Dobby.

Malfoy seemed to have found his confidence now. He began to show off his already good flying skills, and kept saying something in Harry's ear. You could guess that it must be something unpleasant without distinguishing his mouth shape. Trash talk.

But this made the Slytherin stands burst into cheers, as if they had won the game.

"We have to think of a way to stop that Bludger from causing trouble, otherwise Harry will definitely be hit by it." As the out-of-control Bludger collided with Harry more and more frequently, Hermione became a little anxious. said.

But in the current situation, even Andre can't do anything - he hasn't found where Dobby is hiding yet.

"Not good!" While the two were talking, Ron suddenly exclaimed, and Andre and Hermione immediately turned their heads to look at the stadium.

Harry was finally hit by the Bludger. It could be seen that this blow was not light, and the solid ball hit his elbow hard.

Then he lost control of the broom and slid down. Everyone in the Gryffindor stands stood up and watched the scene nervously.

Fortunately, in the end, he hooked the knee of one leg onto his broomstick, narrowly avoiding falling completely from the sky.

But what happened next made everyone sweat for him. Harry threw his head directly towards Malfoy. When doing this, he didn't forget to use his legs to tighten his grip. Clamp the Firebolt suspended in the air.

Not to mention Malfoy, even the Gryffindor students thought he was going to give Slytherin's new Seeker a hard blow.

But in the end, the two didn't collide in the air. Malfoy grabbed his broom handle and moved aside in panic, avoiding Harry.

However, this did not change Harry's ending. Even though he was a wizard, he still could not resist the force of gravity without chanting a spell, and everyone covered their eyes.

The only good thing is that he is not too high off the ground at this moment. Even if he falls from mid-air, he will not lose his life. However, it is precisely because he is too close to the ground that Andre has no time to use a floating ball. Curse to prevent him from getting hurt this time.

Before he fainted completely, Harry stubbornly raised the hand that caught the Golden Snitch.

Ms. Hooch immediately blew the whistle to end the game. The Slytherin players looked frustrated, while Wood and George quickly controlled their brooms and flew towards Harry on the ground.

The three Andres also hurriedly came down from the stands and rushed to the center of the stadium.

"We won?" These were Harry's first words when he woke up.

Seeing everyone around him nodding in unison, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time he seemed to finally realize the hurt he had suffered, grinning and groaning.

"No, don't take pictures... don't take pictures of me like this!" Then he quickly discovered that his little fanboy, Colin, was holding up a camera to record the scene, which made Harry cover his hands in panic. own face.

Andre reluctantly walked to the other party, and then whispered to dissuade him from his behavior.

"We have to send you to Madam Pomfrey. Your arm is completely dislocated. Fortunately, you didn't hit it when you fell. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the school infirmary for a while." The person who said this It was Sirius, who had just been sitting next to Professor McGonagall watching the game.

"Oh, okay... okay, I thought my arm was broken." Harry, who had just woken up, was still a little confused, but this time he didn't have to face Lockhart's lame recovery magic, which at least allowed him to He is protected from the pain of the bone spirits.

"Did you go to war?" Madam Pomfrey said sarcastically when Harry, who was covered in mud, was carried into the infirmary. From the iconic Quidditch uniform, she certainly knew what the injured man had just gone through. Nothing, it's just that she has always been this character and has always been opposed to any activities in the school that would cause students to be injured.

"Sorry, Madam Pomfrey, but Harry's arm seems to be dislocated. I need your help to pick him up." Sirius didn't dare to yell at the lady. In fact, when he was still a student, Pomfrey Mrs. Frey served as the head nurse of the school infirmary at Hogwarts, and he and Harry's father, James Potter, had a lot of trouble with her.

"Of course I will cure him. It won't take long." However, Madam Pomfrey did not have a good attitude towards Sirius. She said rudely: "You should really suggest that Dumbledore cancel the school Quidditch match." , What good can such a sport do? Every time there is a competition, there are always students injured."

No one dared to refute her words, but they couldn't agree. They could only stare at the floor under their feet, as if a flower had grown there.

"Mr. Potter, I'm afraid you have to stay in the infirmary for one night." After a brief examination, Madam Pomfrey added: "Although I can help you reattach the bones immediately, you still have some injuries from the fall. I hope you can stay here and have a good night's rest, and I will brew some recovery potions for you later."

These words made Harry's expression change instantly. As we all know, Madam Pomfrey's potions are surprisingly effective, but the taste is usually not acceptable to normal people. According to her own words, 'Do you still expect to get sick and injured? Is it something worth looking forward to? '

But even Dumbledore couldn't refuse the head nurse's request, so Harry finally had to accept it.

Ron ran back to the dormitory to get him pajamas. Harry, who had already reattached his bones, could change out of the muddy team uniform by himself.

Sirius and Wood also left here at this moment, leaving only Andre, Hermione, and Ron.

"Have you noticed that the Bludger has been tampered with?" the little witch asked impatiently after Harry lay down on the hospital bed.

Harry nodded: "We all guessed that it was someone from Slytherin who did it. That Bludger is so abnormal. It seems to be only staring at me."

"People in Slytherin don't have this ability," Andre smiled and shook his head: "I recited a counter-curse on the Bludger, but it had no effect. Unless Snape cast a spell on it, otherwise I would They cannot do this with their own strength.”

"Ah?" Harry exclaimed in surprise: "But... besides them, who else could it be?"

Andre couldn't give an answer to this question now. If nothing unexpected happened, Dobby would come to Harry's door at night and tell Harry who the culprit was.

It's just that he hasn't thought of any excuse to stay in the infirmary all night, so after chatting for a while, he had no choice but to follow Hermione and Ron and leave here.

After returning to the Gryffindor Tower, everyone was celebrating today's hard-won victory. Many people came over to ask Andre and the others how Harry was doing. I heard that he was just raped. Mrs. Frey asked for a night of training, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they only had Harry as the Seeker, and there was no second suitable substitute.

"I don't think Harry should have done that. It was too dangerous. Even if he lost the game, it would be much better than falling to his death." After the people who asked the questions walked away, Hermione began to complain about Harry's death today. move.

His final move towards Malfoy was indeed very dangerous, and even Andre felt that he took victory too seriously.

But Ron said disapprovingly: "Every great seeker has such deeds. If you worry about this and that, it is impossible to become a real Quidditch player, and Harry is fine." ?"

"But you can't expect it to end like this every time. If he fell on his head today, I can't imagine what the consequences would be. The moment I saw him fall, I didn't even dare Open your eyes!"

The dispute between the two did not last long. After all, the accident did not have irreparable consequences, and since the cold war at the beginning of school, the little witch seemed to understand that there would always be differences between her and Ron's ideas, so she now Have learned to restrain myself a little.
