demon hunter at hogwarts

In the entire wizarding world, no matter whether it is heroic feats in broad daylight or dirty things in the corners, not many can escape Dumbledore's blue eyes hidden behind half-moon lenses.

After Lu Ping said it, Sirius quickly realized that his idea just now was too far-fetched.

Not even Voldemort dared to harm Harry in front of Dumbledore, let alone a little Snape?

After pushing this unrealistic thought out of his mind, Sirius returned his attention to watching the game.

At this time, the game situation has changed a lot.

For Gryffindor, because main goalkeeper Wood and top chaser Angelina were injured, and the team did not have suitable substitutes, they could only continue the game with injuries, and their performance was greatly reduced.

Slytherin seized this opportunity and quickly overtook the score, with a tendency to continue to pull away.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the rules of Quidditch, the Chaser's influence on the game is far less than that of the Seeker.

As for Slytherin's Seeker Higgins, he seemed to have used up all his luck since he used the legendary "Prenton Retrieval Technique" to catch the Golden Snitch last semester. Caught a golden snitch in the game.

Today's game was no exception. Although Slytherin had a ninety to forty lead, the game came to an abrupt end when Harry made a diving move and opened his mouth to swallow the Golden Snitch.

"Look! Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch in a way that no one expected, but it was undoubtedly very effective!" Lee Jordan held the microphone and shouted the result of the game happily, "Gryffin 190 more than [-] wins!"

"Harry is really a flying genius." Lupine admired. "Even Prongs didn't perform better than him when he first participated in the competition...and we were already in our second year at that time."

Sirius curled his lips proudly and followed Harry, who was being held up in the air by Fred and George and hovering over the stadium waving to the supporters.

Of course, not everyone is satisfied with the results.

"If I were a Seeker, there would be no way for Poto to catch the Snitch." Draco complained loudly about Higgins's incompetence, without the slightest worry that what he said would be heard by others, "I think it is necessary to change A Seeker who can win the victory for the team. I have to write another letter to Dad. He definitely doesn’t want Slytherin to continue to lose..."

One meter behind him, Crabbe and Goyle each held a bag of snacks and munched on them. Their stupid faces did not show much expression, but Pansy Parkinson seemed to be looking forward to Malfoy's wonderful performance on the court. Performance: "Draco, you must be better than that Potter..."

Snape didn't even say hello to the other professors. As soon as the game was over, he left the stands with a livid face and went back to his office.

On the Gryffindor side, not everyone was prepared for this sudden ending. For example, Dean Thomas, an avid football fan and loyal supporter of West Ham United, still seemed confused.

"Is this the end? Have we won?"

"That's right, because Harry caught the Golden Snitch. The rules say that no matter which team's seeker catches the Golden Snitch, the game will end immediately." Hermione's voice immediately rang, "You guys Didn't you pay attention to Mrs. Huo Qi's class? The team that catches the golden snitch will get an extra 150 points."

After getting along with each other for this period of time, the little wizards have understood each other to a certain extent. For example, the first-year students in Gryffindor basically know that if there is something they don’t know, they can just ask Hermione directly. It is better than going to the library to do it alone. It’s much easier to flip through information.

Dean scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't listen carefully. Just like when he was in physical education class at a Muggle school, his mind was full of free activities and he didn't care what the teacher said.

"I think this rule is unfair," said Seamus Finnigan, who had an afro and soot on his face. "I think the attack and defense between the chaser and the goalkeeper is the most exciting."

Seeing Ron's unhappy expression, Seamus thought he was complaining about Fred and George, who were the batters, and hurriedly added: "Of course, the batter is also important."

Before Ron could say anything, Hermione was back in her science mode.

"Before the twelfth century, there were indeed no golden snitches and seekers in Quidditch games. There were only three balls in the game, and each team sent six players." The way Hermione spoke reminded several little lions of Mai. Professor Ge, "Until 1296, Pablo Brege, the then chairman of the Wizards' Council, personally participated in a competition..."

"Wizards' Council?" Ron muttered doubtfully.

"You can think of it as the Ministry of Magic at that time. Also, don't interrupt when I'm talking, Ronald Weasley." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron and continued, "At that time, Bragg felt that the game It was too bland and boring, so he released a Golden Snidget and told the athletes that he would reward 150 Galleons to whoever caught the Golden Snidget."

"I'm confused. If you're talking about the ball that Harry wants to catch... isn't it called the Golden Snitch? How did it become the Snitch?" Also from a Muggle family, Dean's understanding of the wizarding world is, Very different from Hermione.

"The Golden Snidget is not a ball, but a kind of bird." Neville, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke timidly, "Now they are almost extinct because...because the wizards are catching them."

"Because of that game. You know, 150 Galleons is not a small amount of money, it is much higher than the salary that those athletes received for playing a game at that time." Hermione said, "So no one cares about the Quaffle and the Bludger. Everyone went to catch the poor Golden Snidget...According to witnesses, the wizards in the stands would even cast spells to drive the poor bird back into the arena to prevent it from running away..."

"Sounds...a bit cruel." The dark-skinned Dean sucked in a breath of cold air and shook his head while showing his white teeth.

"That's true, but the wizards thought Bragg's idea was interesting, so after that, the rules of Quidditch were modified. You know, the Golden Snidget flies very fast and can change its flight with incredible speed and skill. direction, it is very difficult to catch it, but it also makes the Quidditch game more exciting and... unpredictable." Hermione said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "There will be a Golden Snidget released in every game. Enter the court, and each team must add one player. This person is responsible for catching and killing the Golden Snidget in order to win an extra 150 points... All spectators must take on the task of driving the Golden Snidget back to the court with a banishing spell. .”

Gu Yu</span>"It sounds more cruel." Simo also agreed with Dean's statement this time.

"So, every time an exciting Quidditch match is played, it means that one of the Golden Snidgets will die." Hermione continued, "And wizards are so interested in Quidditch that in order to allow the game to proceed, They hunted the Golden Snidget... A century later, this poor little bird was almost invisible throughout Europe, and the number of Quidditch games was reduced to a very low frequency. But people got used to the new rules. After that, they were unwilling to let the game return to the state it was in when it was first born, because it was 'too boring'..."

"So, someone later invented the Golden Snitch to replace the Golden Snitch." Ron suddenly said.

Seeing Hermione's eyes, Ron shrugged and said, "It's obvious. Quidditch has not stopped. Otherwise, what were we watching just now?"

"You interrupted again." Hermione said rudely, "Do you know who invented the Golden Snitch?"

"I know what this is for." Ron said helplessly, "When I watch Quidditch, I don't want to see the history of its development. Do I need to find out who invented this dish when I eat it?"

"Hermione, you said... we are all listening!" Seeing Hermione's unkind expression, Neville hurriedly tried to smooth things over.Seamus and Dean on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Well...at first, Quidditch teams all over Europe were trying to find another bird or insect to replace the Golden Snidget." Hermione decided to ignore Ron and turned to the Neville trio and said, "But A wizard named Bowman Wright who lived in Godric's Hollow keenly discovered business opportunities. He was an outstanding goldsmith, so he decided to imitate the physical structure, flying method and behavioral habits of the Golden Snitch to make a gold medal. A kind of metal ball, and finally he succeeded, and it was perfect. This small ball called the Golden Snitch was enchanted and would only move within the scope of the stadium, so that the spectators did not need to be prepared to use banishing spells at all times. Now you can focus on watching the game.”

"Cool!" Seamus exclaimed, "Then this guy named Bowman Wright must have made a lot of money."

"Yes, after Bowman's death, when people were sorting out his belongings, they found that the orders filled a whole room." Hermione said, "Quidditch fans all over the world have to order the Golden Snitch from him. .”

"I really hope there are more new ways to play Quidditch, so maybe I can invent something like a black flying ghost." Ron said hopefully, "I don't need to make too much money, so I can change it to something more useful." Just a new wand will do... Speaking of which, Hermione, I remember you couldn't even hold up a broom during your first flying lesson, why are you acting like a Quidditch expert now?"

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Harry was finally put down by the twins and joined the chat among his friends.

"We were talking about the way you catch the Snitch." Ron said excitedly. "Maybe we're witnessing the birth of a new proprietary technique... I've never seen anyone catch the Snitch with their mouth. "

"Listen, it was just an accident..." Harry scratched his hair in embarrassment, "When I rushed out, my glasses were crooked and I didn't even see where the Snitch was... I was gasping for air, and it just crashed into me. In my mouth..."

"It doesn't matter whether it was an accident or not. Everyone thinks that Prenton caught the snitch in three seconds just by chance." Ron said, "But the fact is that his retrieval technique has become a model for all seekers to imitate. The object... you didn't see Snape's expression at that time, it was as if he had swallowed a rotten egg that looked like a golden snitch."

Everyone laughed when they heard Ron's comment. In the eyes of Gryffindor, Snape's reputation had always been very bad.

Harry looked up and saw the people standing in the back row of stands, and he immediately ran up the steps.

"Well done, 28 minutes." Sirius held the pocket watch in front of Harry and waved it, "James' first time took about 10 minutes. You were faster than him."

"Maybe it's because my broom is better than his..." Harry raised the Nimbus 2000 in front of him and said to Sirius, "Thank you... This is really the best birthday gift I have received in 11 years."

"You don't need to say thank you to me." Sirius smiled, and then he suddenly and mysteriously leaned into Harry's ear, his voice lowered and became serious at the same time, "Some things have happened recently, and the Ministry of Magic has A staff member is missing... In short, starting from today, do not open any email you receive immediately. Do you understand? You have to give the email to the teacher to check first... If you need to contact me, use double-sided mirror."

"What happened?" Before Harry could recover from the joy of winning, he was suddenly startled by Sirius's serious attitude.

"I'm not sure whether I should tell you this... After all, you are still too young, and Dumbledore thinks you should spend your first year without any worries." Sirius said, "But some of us think , maybe it wouldn’t do much harm to make you prepare early... Now, Voldemort is hiding somewhere in this country, and is gradually gathering his former followers. There is no doubt that when his power is restored to After a certain level, you will become his target."

"I..." Harry wanted to say something, but was speechless.

Voldemort, the most evil and terrifying dark wizard in history, even though he has been down for ten years, most wizards still dare not even call him by his name.

Such people should set their goals on themselves.

And now I can barely be considered a pretty good student, but that’s because I’ve previewed my lessons several months in advance.

Ron and others had already left the stands first, and Lupine was leaning on the railing, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

The Quidditch pitch, which was extremely lively just a moment ago, is now quiet.

"This may be a little cruel to you." Sirius simply pulled Harry to sit where they were watching the game. "You should spend seven years happily at Hogwarts like your friends..."

"This is my destiny, right?" Harry suddenly said, "I have to stop Voldemort?"

"Don't get me wrong... I'm telling you this just to make you more vigilant and not to be taken advantage of by those despicable people." Sirius said, "As for defeating Voldemort... there are already many people queuing up. Now, before we fall, it’s not your turn to take action.”
