Hogwarts Survival Sim

Time goes by in a hurry, just as it came in a hurry.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye. After lunch, Ethan, Harry, Hermione and Ron came to the activity room again.

"Except for Harry, do any of you want to give it a try?" Ethan took out the suitcase and said to Ron and Hermione at the same time, "After all, the dementors don't have as strong an influence on you as they do on Harry. If there’s only one, I should be able to handle it.”

"Forget it," Ron waved his hand, "I don't want to recall some bad things on the first day of vacation."

Hermione thought about it for a while and shook her head. She didn't have much confidence in her Patronus Charm.

"Well, in that case, it's just you, Harry."

Ethan skillfully unfolded the suitcase, and a door appeared in front of several people.

"If you're ready, you can open the door and go in, Harry. The dementors are inside."

Although he was a little curious about what the magical door in front of him was, Harry knew that now was not the time to ask.He took out his wand, recited the spell silently a few more times, and reviewed the happy memories in his mind.After taking a few deep breaths, he opened the door and walked in.

In just a moment, a bone-chilling chill swept over him.He tried to recite the spell, but his lips could only move slightly, and all the happy memories he had thought of before were gone.

The next second, he felt like he was sinking into a dark and piercing pool.The familiar scream appeared in his ears again, that was his mother...

"Wake up, Harry!"

When Harry regained consciousness, Ethan was squatting next to him and helping him up.There was also a huge silver figure in the room, cornering the Dementor.

He knew that it was Ethan's patron saint. Even though it was the second time he saw it, he still felt very shocked.

"Are you okay, Harry?" Ethan observed him carefully to determine if his mental state was normal.

"I'm fine," Harry replied with a wry smile, "I just didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to hold on for even a second."

"No one can achieve success in one step, Harry. Perseverance is one of the qualities necessary for success." Ethan said as he gave him the happy ball. "Take this, you will feel better."

Harry took the ball, and the moment his fingers touched it, a wave of warmth surged from his fingertips to every part of his body, dispelling the chill caused by the dementors just now.

"Thank you." Harry looked at the little ball, but felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, "Ethan, this thing..."

"I asked you to give Hagrid something last year to make his life in Azkaban easier." Ethan responded, "Let's stop here today." Seeing what Harry was going to say, he waved. Interrupting him, "We have plenty of time, Harry, there is no need to rush."

"Okay." Harry said with some regret. After feeling that his body had returned to normal, he returned the ball to Ethan, "I think I also need to find where my happiest memories are."

…………

In the days that followed, until Christmas Day, Harry spent time fighting the dementors every day and made some progress.Now he could finally cast his patronus shadow in front of the dementors.And when there were no dementors, the shadow of the patron saint he released gradually became clearer.

But on Christmas Day, they decided to take a break.

Ron called Ethan and Harry up early.After exchanging gifts, a long package caught their attention.

Curious, Harry took it apart and a beautiful, gleaming broom rolled onto his bed.He knew what kind of broom it was because he had seen it through the window countless times during the summer vacation.

"I can't believe it!" Ron said hoarsely. He jumped out of bed and looked carefully at the broom on Harry's bed.

"Who gave this to you, Harry?" he asked quietly.

"I don't know," Harry said. "Don't you have a card?"

Ron looked for it but found nothing.

"Nothing, who spent so much money on you?"

"I bet it's not the Dursleys."

The two speculated for a while, and then unanimously set their sights on Ethan.

"What are you two looking at me for?" Ethan said speechlessly, "Didn't I already give you my gift?"

"But you don't seem surprised at all that Harry received a Firebolt," Ron said suspiciously, "That's a Firebolt!"

"I'm not surprised because I don't like Quidditch like you do." Ethan covered his face with his hands. He couldn't say that he had known that a kind-hearted man named Sirius Black would be on the run. In the process, he didn't forget to buy his godson one of the world's top broomsticks.

"Okay," although they still had some doubts, the two of them reluctantly accepted his words, "but who else could it be?"

"Could it be Professor Lupin?" Ron thought of another very likely candidate. "Didn't you say that he also asked you about the broom? He also planned to provide you with help. I guess it's him. A surprise for you.”

"I don't think so." After thinking for a while, Harry rejected the guess. "Professor Lupin probably can't afford such a thing."

"It's really hard to say." Listening to the conversation between Harry and Ron, Ethan thought to himself, "Now Lupine may actually have some funds that Black Moon will give him. Although he may not be willing to give it to himself Spend this money, but it’s really possible to buy Harry a broom.”

Regardless, the broom was definitely the best Christmas present he'd received this year, before Hermione arrived.

"Why are you so happy?" Hermione opened the door and walked in, holding a Christmas gift for them.

"Someone gave Harry a Firebolt!" Ron said proudly, "It's just not signed. We are guessing who sent it."

Hearing Ron's words, Hermione's expression became serious.

Seeing this scene, Ethan knew that the prophecy master Hermione was coming online again.

"As disappointing as it is, I have to remind you, Harry." She said seriously, "This broom was most likely given to you by Sirius Black."

This sentence immediately stunned the two excited people.

"Aren't you kidding, Hermione?" Ron's tone was extremely weird, "Can this also involve Black?"

"Otherwise, why do you think you gave such a precious broom as a gift but didn't sign it with your name?" Hermione turned to look at Ethan, trying to seek his support, "What do you think, Ethan?"

At this moment, all three people's eyes fell on him.
