Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 201 What does it mean to be defeated by a green plum?

As time passes into October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is windy and rainy outside all day long, with lightning and thunder.

Not everyone likes this kind of weather very much. After all, when it rains outside, it is best to lie in bed and sleep.

But they have to work hard to get up and go to the evil place.

It’s so tortured!

And the one who suffered more than the average student was Wood.

Gryffindor's championship lineup still exists, so the overall strategy of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw is more inclined to join the competition for the championship after Wood graduates next year.

Cedric, the captain of Hufflepuff, still wanted to give it a try, but unfortunately in bad weather, it was more difficult to convince a group of little badgers to go to training than to persuade them not to enter the kitchen.

As for Ravenclaw's captain Davis, he just chose to mess it up.

Ravenclaw's Chaser lineup has not changed. Three of them together can't stop Harry, so what are they going to do?

Do you just expect a Seeker Qiu Zhang with one year of competition experience?

Slytherin, the only one with a certain degree of competitiveness thanks to Nimbus 2001, is no longer good this season. Their team is good enough without civil strife.

Marcus, the captain of the Slytherin team, became a rare repeater in Hogwarts this year.

This guy is so embarrassing that even the Slytherins themselves don't want to admit him.

Therefore, Slytherin is still determining the command authority internally, and it is even less possible to organize training.

It turns out that the external situation is great, the internal team is the same, and Wood sits back and relaxes.

As a result, he insisted on searching for the enemy in vain, madly strengthening the opponent in his mind, and tried to lead the Gryffindors to train in the heavy rain, and even wanted to bring in a few substitutes.

So Wood was once again suppressed simply and was forced to make a guarantee that as long as other teams did not train, Gryffindor would only maintain low-frequency training once a week.

After making the promise, Wood was so distraught that he wanted to let the heavy rain drown him.

Of course, the Weasley twins carried him back from the training ground.

Harley actually doesn't care about training. After all, the physical quality of Extraordinaries is there, and playing against other teams is pure abuse.

She was more concerned about Ron's mice and the movements of Sirius and Professor Lupin.

After the first Charms Club activity, Harley tried to find out information about Ron's rat.

Unfortunately, according to the information Halli heard, the mouse escaped long ago.

According to Ron, after the opening party, his poor mouse Scabbers disappeared without a trace.

"It must have been eaten by that vicious cat raised by damn Filch, that bastard Mrs. Norris!" Ron would angrily tell others when he mentioned Scabbers.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't produce any evidence, Ron would have wanted to go to Filch to claim compensation.

After getting the news, Harley immediately realized that there was a high probability that the mouse was Peter Pettigrew.

He probably saw Professor Lupine, an old acquaintance, or even learned of Sirius's existence, so he ran away in fear.

In the end, Harley could only sneak into Ron's dormitory quietly and get the broken toy ball that the mouse had played with.

As long as Harley handles this toy in some special way, its connection with Pettigrew will be very obvious.

If Peter Pettigrew didn't use corresponding countermeasures, Harley could curse the toy to determine his location.

Of course, if Sirius was lying, the rat was just an ordinary rat and wouldn't have wasted much time.

Unfortunately, if you want to wait until this solution is available, you will have to wait until Christmas.

The method of processing this toy is not complicated, but soaking it with special materials takes a long time.

Of course, Harley did not feel impatient because of this, and the Ageless Witch did not lack time and patience.

……

In this busy life, Halloween is here before you know it.

And this time it just so happens that Halloween falls on a Sunday, which is also the day when students go to Hogsmeade for the first time this school year.

Students can have fun in Hogsmeade all day long, and there is a Halloween dinner when they come back in the evening, which is perfect.

Early Sunday morning, the auditorium was filled with the enticing aroma of roasted pumpkin.

But most of the third-year students tried to restrain themselves.

They have heard their brothers, sisters or other seniors mention Hogsmeade many times, and have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Many people have enough pocket money prepared to eat at Honeydukes Candy Shop, and then go to the Three Broomsticks pub for a delicious butterbeer.

Hermione also planned the route enthusiastically and listed the items she needed to replenish, including quills and parchment.

Harry held his chin and watched Hermione plan the route.

In fact, she would rather go to the Hog's Head Bar mentioned by Professor Slughorn, buy some high-strength spirits like Firewhiskey, and see if there are any second-hand dealers.

Hagrid can get all kinds of good things in places like that that can't be seen in the market. Harry is so lucky, there's no reason why he can't see them.

It's a pity that Hermione has to follow him throughout the whole process, so this plan will probably be postponed like the Forbidden Forest exploration plan and the Pettigrew hunting plan.

After a hurried breakfast, the third-year students rushed towards the main gate of Hogwarts impatiently, forming a long queue in the foyer.

Administrator Filch arrived soon after. He stood at the door, holding a long piece of parchment in his hand, checking the list, and staring at every face vigilantly, not letting anyone who shouldn't go out slip out of the door.

Those little wizards who did not sign the application form, signed it on their own behalf, or asked someone to help them, and tried to hide behind the scenes, would be taken out of the team by Filch.

The deans seemed to have cast special magic on the application form, so it was useless no matter how similar the signature was.

Harry also visited Sirius before leaving.

After all, during this period of time, Harry had really neglected Sirius and would only pay attention to him when he went to Hagrid's place.

But Sirius wasn't too disappointed.

He spent most of his time exploring the Forbidden Forest with Lupine, helping Lupine find materials for class, and planning how to capture Pettigrew.

Through the chats between Sirius and Lupine in their spare time in the past few weeks, Harley also learned a lot of information about her parents.

For example, Sirius's twelve years in Azkaban, their shared memories of the First Wizarding War, and Professor Lupine's difficult days before becoming a professor.

Professor Lupin has been having a hard time since the end of the Wizarding War.

He refused Professor Dumbledore's assistance and looked for odd jobs in the wizarding world alone.

During the most difficult time, Professor Lupine even went to Muggles to work as a store clerk or a temporary worker in a restaurant.

When Professor Lupine told this experience with a smile, Sirius immediately choked up.

Of course, Professor Lupine's hard life and Sirius's painful prison experience brought Harry a lot of feelings.

But what shocked Harry the most was the memories the two had of their school days.

If Sirius and Lupine are not talking nonsense, then according to Harley's synthesis of all the information:

Professor Snape was my mother's childhood sweetheart, but my mother dumped him and chose my father instead?

What green plum cannot be defeated by heaven!
