Hogwarts lazy snake

Horn and the others were starving, and were rushing to the restaurant in a hurry. On the way, Professor Quirrell suddenly appeared. When Professor Quirrell saw Horn, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurried forward.

"Student Horn, how is your raven? Perhaps I can help. Horn, you must not be anxious. Pets are very important to their owners." Professor Quirrell noticed his own anxiety and quickly adjusted his state, making himself look calmer and pretending to be concerned.

Horn frowned slightly, feeling helpless. Ever since he and Draco accidentally discussed the raven's coma last time and Professor Quirrell heard it, Quirrell has paid special attention to his raven and asked about it every time they met.

Moreover, in class, Quirrell was extremely enthusiastic towards Horn and even taught him some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts. This caused some rumors to spread from other colleges and other grades, but the young wizards of the same grade as Horn did not care about these, after all, they were also beneficiaries.

If Horn didn't know Quirrell's background, he would really think he was a good teacher who cared about his students.

Now, even Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and others who often get together with Horn know that Horn has a pet raven.

At first, everyone was just surprised by the rumor that Professor Quirrell was paying attention to a little wizard, but as they asked about Raven every time they met Professor Quirrell, everyone gradually felt that this matter was very strange.

Horn tried to keep his expression calm and said, "Professor Quirrell, my raven is fine."

Professor Quirrell seemed unconvinced and pressed, "Really? Are you sure you're completely healed?"

Horn nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Professor, it has recovered."

At this moment, Harry and the others looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Hermione frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Ron muttered quietly, "Why does Professor Quirrell keep asking about Horn's raven? That's weird."

Draco also looked at Professor Quirrell with a puzzled look on his face, full of suspicion. After all, when he and Horn first discussed the raven issue, Professor Quirrell looked like he cared about Horn, no, it should be said that he cared about Horn's raven.

Horn was dealing with Professor Quirrell while secretly observing him. At this time, Horn noticed that Professor Quirrell's face was paler than before, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart.

Professor Quirrell's heart was filled with fear and anxiety. He knew that he had once again let his master down, and his master's punishment was causing him great pain.

Seeing Horn's firm attitude, Professor Quirrell nodded and said, "That's good. I hope your raven will always be healthy. There is really no other way. I have also learned some healing magic for magical animals in Africa." After that, he turned and left.

He secretly swore that he must get the raven as soon as possible, otherwise he didn't know how his master would punish him, but he didn't dare to do it in Hogwarts.

As he thought about it, he hurried away, looking for an empty corner to endure Voldemort's wrath, because he had begun to feel the pain in his head.

Horn and the others breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards the restaurant. Along the way, everyone was discussing Professor Quirrell's strange behavior.

"Horn, what's going on with Professor Quirrell? Why does he care so much about your raven?" Harry asked in confusion.

Horn shook his head and said, "I don't know. He has been like this since that time. I also find it strange."

Hermione said thoughtfully: "This matter must be very complicated. We have to be careful."

Ron nodded and said, "Yeah, it always feels a bit weird."

Draco snorted and said, "Perhaps Quirrell has some ulterior motive."

Everyone came to the restaurant with doubts. Not long after they sat down, owls belonging to Horn and others flew over. Harry's Hedwig also brought a package, and everyone looked at it curiously.

Harry opened the package and found a brand new flying broomstick, and at the same time, there was a letter. Harry opened the letter and saw that it was from Professor McGonagall.

The letter mentioned that Harry should not open the package on the table, which contained his new flying broom, Nimbus 2000. Professor McGonagall did not want everyone to know that Harry had a new broom, lest they all wanted it. It also said that Oliver Wood would be waiting for Harry at the Quidditch pitch at o'clock tonight for his first training lesson.

Because Harry and Horn showed extraordinary flying talent when they rescued Neville who was accidentally flown into the sky, Madam Hooch told Professor McGonagall about it.

Professor McGonagall did not believe it at first, but in the next few flying lessons, she saw Harry and Horn's flying performance in the castle, so she decided to allow them to join the Quidditch team of their respective colleges as first-year students.

Although Horn was not from Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall also told Snape the news.

After Snape found out, he kept Horn after a Potions class and asked him to join the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Snape looked at Horn and said seriously, "Horn, you have a great talent for flying. Join the Slytherin Quidditch team and bring glory to the school."

Horn instantly recalled the image of himself riding a flying broomstick. That movement was really ugly. He thought to himself that he didn't want to run around like a dog chasing a ball in front of everyone. So, Horn found a reason to reject Snape.

"Professor, thank you very much for your appreciation, but I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings and am not suitable to join the Quidditch team at the moment. Moreover, I think Draco is very suitable and he rides his broom very well. Draco is very talented in flying and he will definitely bring glory to Slytherin." Horn said sincerely.

Snape frowned slightly and glanced at Draco, seeming to think about Horn's words.

During this period of time, because Horne was so talented in potions, Snape's attitude towards Horne had changed slightly compared to his attitude towards other Slytherin students because he loved his talent. Although he was still strict, he would occasionally show some appreciation.

Just as Ron was looking at Harry with envy, Draco said proudly, "Humph, I was also selected by Professor Snape to join Quidditch."

"Wow, Malfoy, you're in Quidditch too?" Ron's eyes widened when he heard Draco's words, and then he said to Harry, "Come on, Harry, you can't lose to Malfoy!"

Ron thought that if he couldn't participate, then it would be fine if Harry participated. If Harry wins, I win. If Harry beats Malfoy, I beat Malfoy. Perfect!

Although there was some reluctance in his tone, he had to admit that Draco was lucky in this regard.

Harry smiled and said, "Congratulations, Draco. I hope you do well in Quidditch."

Hermione nodded slightly and raised her fist towards Harry, saying to cheer him on: "It looks like the Slytherin Quidditch team has a new force. Come on, Harry! Don't lose to Draco."

Neville looked at Draco with some envy and said, "I really wish I could be as good as you guys."

Carlotta looked at Draco's arrogant expression and said with a smile: "Draco, congratulations, I didn't expect you to be allowed in!"

"No, it's Professor Snape who believes in me!" He was very happy to hear the praise from everyone, but it seemed that there was something bad mixed in it, so he looked up at Harry with full of fighting spirit, "Let's compete then?"

Originally, both of them helped Horn test weapons in the morning, and they were in a bit of a mess. They must save face again!

"Congratulations, Xiaolong, keep going, I look forward to your match on the Quidditch field." Although Horn knew about it in advance and even recommended it himself, he still congratulated Draco.

His hands were constantly moving, taking out some dried meat and feeding it to Radish, while with his other hand he was looking at the letter sent by his mother.
