After Halloween, the day that students are most looking forward to is undoubtedly the next Christmas holiday.
Strictly speaking, each school year is divided into two semesters, while the holiday that is divided into two semesters is the Christmas holiday.
Before the holidays began, the first Quidditch game of the semester, Gryffindor’s match against Slytherin officially began.
From September to December, almost all the players of the Gryffindor team were training in the rain, and they had basically never had the robes on their bodies, just for today’s game.
Captain Wood attaches great importance to the outcome of the game. He will graduate from Hogwarts in two years. His only wish before graduation is to lead the Gryffindor team to win a Quidditch College Cup.
“We want them to regret letting that little villain Malfoy spend money to get in!”
Before the game began, he said this to the Gryffindor team members more than once, and while making harsh words, he also stimulated Harry.
Malfoy also seemed to be not afraid of angering Harry at all, and he sarcastically called him “Scarhead” at the beginning of the game.
It is precisely because of this that even after the Gryffindor players clearly found that the roaming ball was tampered with and kept attacking Harry alone, they did not ask the referee Mrs. Huo Qi to stop the game, but instead planned to continue to compete, win the game, and slapped Malfoy in the face.
Harry did it in the end.
He risked being knocked down by a roaming ball to catch the golden thief above Malfoy’s head.
While winning the game, it was also a great mockery of Malfoy.
But Harry’s arm was also broken and sent to Mrs. Pomfrey’s hospital.
It was just that the bones were broken. For Mrs. Pomfrey, connecting Harry’s bones only needed a small spell to solve them, so he could celebrate the victory of the game with the other players in the future.
But in the night afterwards, Dobby, the house elf, found him and admitted that he did it himself, whether it was nine and four points or the out-of-control roaming ball, in order to protect Harry and let him leave Hogwarts from danger.
Harry was very angry, but he had no choice but to tell Hermione and Ron the next day what he saw Dobby.
“I think this confirms something.”
Hermione analyzed seriously.
“Doby wanted Harry to leave Hogwarts so much, because he didn’t want to see him hurt by the monster in the secret room, but Harry is a mixed race and will not become the target of the monster at all. So why should he worry about this?”
Harry and Ron looked at each other, exchanged glances, and shook their heads with affirmative expressions.
“I don’t know.”
Hermione looked at them with a look of regret.
“He must have known some inside story. He thinks that the successor of Slytherin will instruct the basil monster to attack Harry. Who in the whole of Hogwarts will have such a big grudge against Harry?”
This time Harry and Ron thought of the answer in an instant, and he said in unison.
“Draco Malfoy!”
“From the moment, he is the most suspicious, and we must investigate it clearly.” Hermione said firmly.
Harry expressed his pessimism.
“We cannot succeed your previous plan. There is no right reason for the professor to give us a note to borrow books, let alone a banned book about potions. Looking forward to Snape opening the note to us, it is better to think that Malfoy will come to confess everything to us. Even if other professors are easy to talk to, we can’t find an excuse.”
“And one note can only lend one book, and we can’t cheat on it.” Ron also said.
Hermione looked thoughtful.
“I have a more risky plan.”
Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with bright eyes, as if they were watching the boss who could take them to big points.
“We can start with Professor Forrest.”
“Professor Forrest? It’s impossible. If we ask him to open a note, he will definitely ask what we are going to do.”
