A sharp Hogwarts

"You are joking!"

Hogwarts Great Hall, six pm, it's dinner time.

Dalia told Ron and Harry about Mrs. Hooch's proposal in the school infirmary.

Ron was about to put a piece of steak and kidney pie into his mouth, but suddenly forgot about it halfway through.

"Assistant referee?!" he said, "That's only for official Quidditch games - no, then you have become a faculty member?!"

"It's considered a part-time job as a student for the time being - and it's still waiting for Professor McGonagall's approval."

Dalia said, casually cutting off a small piece of herb-roasted chicken breast and putting it in her mouth.

Mrs. Huo Qi said very straightforwardly in the afternoon, which was a little unexpected protection she obtained for Dalia.

In this way, even if the school board fires her after the mid-term assessment, she can continue to stay as an "assistant referee".

"But faculty and staff, well, theoretically it should be counted as half...it seems like there is still a salary."

Ron was so surprised and shocked that he sat there and stared at Dalia blankly.

Formal work!It's still Quidditch work!

Moreover, it is the kind that only adult wizards with a salary can do!

If he had known that raising a Thestral had the chance to become an assistant referee, he would have tried to find a way to bring back one more - this was really enviable.

"Okay, don't just ask around me -" Dalia glanced at Harry, "What happened to you? After Neville and I left the venue..."

Although she almost knew what happened next, Dalia still wanted to confirm it from Harry's mouth.

After all, Neville's fall had gone awry, and she wasn't sure if the plot on Harry's side had changed.

"Harry becomes the Seeker!"

Ron answered quickly before Harry could speak.

He looked around mysteriously and added excitedly in a low voice.

"I heard that he is the youngest member of the House team in a century. I can't wait to see Malfoy's expression."

"I won't start training until next week," Harry said. "Wood asked me to keep it a secret first and never tell anyone."

"House team? Seeker?"

Dalia asked quietly, trying to look surprised.

"What's going on? What happened to Malfoy...I just heard that Harry seemed to be in trouble."

"Ha, that's so exciting-"

Ron glanced at Dalia, and then remembered that Dalia had not seen that scene.

"After you left, that Malfoy guy found Neville's memory ball that he dropped on the ground..."

He took a bite of the pie and started talking happily.

Just like the plot in Dalia's "memory", under Malfoy's provocation, Harry flew on a broomstick without any guidance.

And Malfoy threw the ball in the sky, and Harry drove the broomstick to make the ultimate save in front of Professor McGonagall, and then was recommended by Professor McGonagall as a genius seeker to Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. , and it was staged without any accidents. The world line after leaving Dalia's interference showed its original stubbornness - Harry was not punished in any way, he successfully demonstrated his talent, and also won the academy title. Exceptional admission to the Dodgers.

"...You know, Harry's hovering action, wow - it's really a loss that you didn't see it!"

clang--

Just as Ron was dancing and introducing Harry's movements and Malfoy's gloomy expression, there was suddenly a heavy knocking of a knife next to him.

Everyone turned their heads and found Hermione looking at them with dissatisfaction, like a miniature version of Professor McGonagall.

"I don't think this is anything to be proud of. You were almost fired."

"Oh, really? It's a good thing Professor McGonagall doesn't think so."

Ron raised his eyebrows and grunted in displeasure.

"but……"

Before Hermione could say anything more, Fred and George Weasley walked into the Great Hall.

When they saw Harry, they walked over quickly.

"Hey, great," whispered George, "Wood told us."

"Fred and George are also on the team, they are the batters." Ron glanced at the confused Harry and explained quickly.

"It's our job to keep you from getting beat up—" Fred said.

"But it can't be completely okay -" his twin brother added.

"Quidditch is pretty cruel."

"—pretty savage."

The two sang together as if they were one person.

Harry didn't know exactly who he should be looking at.

"However, no one has ever died in the school's Quidditch Cup..." George or Fred comforted them.

"...but occasionally people disappear afterwards." Another person added excitedly.

"But it showed up again in a month or two."

"Come on, George -" Ron curled his lips, "Don't scare Harry, there is no way a student from Hogwarts will disappear for a month or two."

"No matter what, we will definitely win the Quidditch Cup this year." Fred said, "We haven't won since Charlie left, but this year, our team will definitely show off its skills. You must be great. , Harry. When Wood told us about this, he was so excited that he was almost incoherent. I have never seen him like that."

"We have to go, though, Lee Jordan thinks he's found a new secret passage to the outside of the school.

"I guess it's the passage behind the statue of Gregory the Toady, we found it our first week on campus. Goodbye."

No sooner had Fred and George left than someone very unpopular showed up: Malfoy.

"Having your last meal, Potter? When are you taking the train back to the Muggles?"

As Malfoy spoke, he glanced at Dalia, who was sitting next to Harry, and subconsciously took a small step back.

"Oh, do you want to wait for your wild cousin? After all, she is almost here..."

"Now that you're back on the ground, with your little friend by your side, will you feel more courageous? Or do you think the teacher is here and you won't get beaten?"

Harry said coldly.Of course, Crabbe and Goyle were far from young, but Dahlia was right next to him.

At least judging from the Hogwarts Express and the small friction with the memory ball in the morning, Cousin Dalia can beat these three guys to tears by herself.

"Do you only hide behind women, Potter?"

Malfoy looked gloomily and glanced at the guest seat with his peripheral vision, making sure that the teacher there could see this side.

"I'm willing to fight you alone any time, tonight if you dare."

"Duel between wizards, only with magic knives - no contact. What's the matter? I take it you haven't even heard of wizard duels, have you?"

"Of course he has heard of it." Ron said, suddenly turning around and standing up, "I am his assistant, your assistant is -"

"sit down!"

boom!boom!

Before Ron could finish speaking, he stumbled and sat back down.

And sitting down with him, covering his head, was Harry, who had just stood up halfway.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Malfoy."

Dalia retracted her knife and looked condescendingly at the little boy in front of her who was not as tall as her yet.

"You tricked Harry and Ron into wandering around at night, and then you reported it to Filch and the professor so they could deduct points and be fined, right?"

"how do you know--"

Malfoy stared at Dalia with wide eyes and a shocked expression, and then reacted immediately.

"No, you're talking nonsense! I didn't think so!"

"Ha ha--"

Dalia ignored Malfoy and casually took out her kitchen knife and slapped it on the table.

"Listen, Harry, Ron - remember, if you draw your sword, you must be willing to risk your life - this is a duel."

"Are you aware of this now? Huh?" Her last voice was directed at Malfoy, "Are you really planning to start a duel between wizards?"

"I……"

Malfoy's momentum weakened quickly, and he glanced nervously at the ugly kitchen knife.

He muttered a few words and led Crabbe and Goyle away dejectedly, without even saying a harsh word.

“Wow – that’s cool, Dalia!”

After Malfoy left, Ron reacted and imitated Dalia's tone with bright eyes.

"If you draw your sword, you have to be prepared to risk your life - this is a duel."

"Don't be stupid, I said it casually, it's a line from the comics."

Dalia rolled her eyes at Ron angrily, glared at Harry who was about to speak, and said tiredly.

"You two, use your brains more and don't let Malfoy hang you around all the time."

"That's right, you shouldn't agree to a duel."

The three turned their heads, and it turned out to be Hermione Granger.

"What's your wise opinion?" Ron obviously took his anger out on Hermione.

"——Dalia is right, you must not wander around at night. Think about it, if you are caught, how many points you will lose to Gryffindor, and you will definitely be caught, you It's so selfish." Hermione ignored Ron and turned to look at Harry chattering seriously.

"Actually...the deduction of points is secondary - wandering around the school may lead to dangerous areas."

Before Harry and Ron could retort, Dalia suddenly straightened her expression and said, "I think you may encounter a man-eating monster. This is the key."

"Monster? Daria - you should really take a lesson from George and Fred."

Ron couldn't help being stunned for a few seconds, couldn't help laughing, and touched Harry with his elbow.

"The lie should at least be made up in detail, don't you think so... Harry, there is a man-eating monster in the castle——"

"Will you really encounter a monster?" Harry didn't laugh.

He swallowed and asked softly.

Dalia is a prophet, a very, very powerful one. This is a secret that only he knows.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the same today. Before Neville took off, Dalia seemed to be aware that there would be danger.

"real."

Dalia nodded and added seriously.

"The kind that can eat three children in one bite. I hope you two don't run around at night."

In the original plot, it was precisely because of the midnight duel that Harry, Ron and Hermione accidentally entered the room of the three-headed dog Fluffy while wandering around in the middle of the night.

Ever since Neville's wrist injury turned into a dislocated jaw, Dalia became wary of the "hidden dangers" of small-scale plot changes.

A broken wrist becomes a possible broken neck - not a pleasant butterfly effect.

It would be okay if large-scale events such as "Peter Pettigrew", "Slytherin Chamber of Secrets" and "Horcrux" were completely eliminated and deviated.

What Dalia was worried about was that there were some variables that should not have appeared in the already thrilling coincidence of surviving a disaster and surviving a catastrophe.

Anyway, Dumbledore is keeping an eye on Quirrell, so the main plot of the first grade has ended early.

There is no need for Harry to risk his life to confront Voldemort as in the original book.

The three-headed dog Luweina was considered a highly dangerous beast, and even a powerful wizard like Snape almost lost a leg.

Dalia couldn't guarantee 100% that in this inherently abnormal world, Harry and others would be able to survive "this time" when they met Lu Wei.

"Yeah, I know. I promise I won't go."

Harry nodded seriously.

"... Really?"

Ron looked at Harry, then at Dahlia, and muttered doubtfully.

"Okay, okay, I'll also be careful in the future - I won't go out at night..."

"???"

Hermione blinked, suddenly feeling frustrated.

original……

Are these two fools?
