Chapter 408
: Bad weather for the competition, to help or not, Sirius and Pettigrew!
Lin Xia and others walked through the crowded crowd and approached Harry with great difficulty.
Ron quickly asked, "Harry, why did you come to the stands all of a sudden? Shouldn't you be getting ready by now?"
Harry said anxiously: "Ron, Lin Xia, Hermione, Draco, I need your help!"
He looked around and lowered his voice deliberately: "I touched a crystal ball and saw what would happen next. I'm not sure if it will really happen, but I want to be prepared just in case!"
Lin Xia noticed Harry's anxiety and quickly cast a silent shielding spell.
The little wizards around could not hear their conversation, nor could they see clearly what shape their lips were making.
"Neville, have you seen Lin Xia and the others?"
In the third row of Gryffindor's stands, Mikel suddenly looked around, looking for Lin Xia and the others.
He was clearly standing in front of them just now, but how come Lin Xia and others suddenly disappeared when he was just thinking about something for a few seconds?
Neville had been paying attention to Lin Xia and the others. He turned his head and looked behind him: "Look, they are there."
Neville's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief: "Why is Harry here too? Shouldn't he be on the Quidditch pitch down below?"
Mikkel turned his head and tried to see the little wizard's lip movements.
But they spoke so fast that even if they moved their mouths, it was just a string of vague, strange syllables.
Mikel thought about it and decided to give up.
Harry knew nothing now, and had no idea what he would see next.
He moved his gaze back to the front, looking intently at the empty first row of seats.
Because the view from the first row of seats was not good, no young wizards sat there. Not only was there no one sitting in the first row for Gryffindor, but the same was true for Slytherin as well.
If his memory was correct, in the Quidditch match later, Sirius Black would appear on the first row of the platform in the form of a big black dog!
Thinking of this, Mikel suddenly turned his head and looked back. He didn't look at Lin Xia and the others, but raised his head higher, looking at the highest point with a distant and deep gaze -
The dais where Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and other professors stood.
The professors stand in the highest position, which makes it convenient for them to take in the overall situation and observe the game.
Mikel had read the original work, both the novel and the film version, and knew that many of Harry's early hardships were arranged by Dumbledore.
Dumbledore intended to train Harry and create a brave and fearless savior who would inherit the spirit and strength of Gryffindor.
Whether in the original book or the movie version, Dumbledore has the most powerful force.
It stands to reason that it is not right that such a powerful person could not find the loophole in Hogwarts, allowing Sirius to escape the pursuit of so many Dementors outside.
It feels like they are deliberately letting the water out.
On the other hand, today is the Quidditch match and so many professors are watching, so the little nurse's safety should be ensured.
It was impossible for Dumbledore to focus on Harry the whole time; he also needed to check his surroundings.
So Mikel didn't quite believe it. Later, Sirius swaggered into Hogwarts in the form of a big black dog, and Dumbledore still didn't find anything.
Mikel felt that everything should be under the control of the principal.
"No matter how they plan, I'm just trying to gain experience and see if I can use magic to hit Sirius in a panic.
Maybe the system will judge that he has been successfully hit, and if he takes advantage of a loophole, he can even extract one of his talents from the system!"
Mikel swore so in his heart.
No matter what happens next, don't meddle in it. Dumbledore is here, and he will definitely hold the whole situation together.
He just needs to stay steadfast in achieving his goal! -
After listening to Harry's story, Hermione asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
A trace of confusion flashed across Harry's eyes, but then he became determined.
"I hope you can help me catch that black dog!"
Lin Xia was a little surprised and asked him, "Do you know what kind of situation the black dog will face if it is caught in this situation?
First of all, there will definitely be the professor's questioning. If there is something wrong with the big black dog, it may not be able to talk to you and will be arrested by the professor.
Are you sure you still want to catch it under these circumstances?"
Harry nodded confidently: "Yes, it appears again and again in my life, and occasionally in my dreams. I always feel that it has some connection with me.
Perhaps only by talking to it can I find out the reason. I believe in the professors at Hogwarts. Even if there is a problem, I still have a chance to talk to it!"
Compared to Harry's determination, Ron was a little angry.
He didn't realize what the big black dog was at first, until Harry kept talking about it. Ron finally realized something and said in a very sharp and excited voice:
"Harry, that big black dog is the prophecy Professor Trelawney gave you. It's a foretelling of death. It's ominous!"
Ron, who is extremely superstitious, strongly opposes Harry's behavior. He thinks Harry is facing death.
Once Harry comes face to face with the big black dog, death will take his breath away!
Hermione retorted loudly: "No, Ron, Harry is doing the right thing!
Professor Trelawney's predictions were not accurate at all. She also said that we would have deaths, but so far, no minor wizard has died."
Hermione turned to look at Harry, and in the strong wind, her voice was as firm as a rock.
"Harry, I support your decision. If a big black dog really appears, I will capture it!"
But Harry was still a little worried and turned his attention to Lin Xia and Draco.
If Ron doesn't help, even though Hermione is very capable, there will be variables.
But with the help of these two people, it would be different.
It's not a sure thing, but there is an 80% chance of successful capture.
Draco looked hesitant, he didn't know whether it was good or bad for Harry to face the unknown.
He was not as resolute as Hermione in opposing Trelawney's prophecy, because he knew very well that this professor was not a simple person.
But Trelawney's predictions are also notoriously unreliable.
Draco simply turned around and looked at Lin Xia. It was obvious that he would do whatever Lin Xia decided.
Lin Xia fell into deep thought.
Harry just felt, based on a hunch, that he had an unusual connection with the black dog.
But she had already seen from the compass that the big black dog was Sirius Black.
Until now, she can still recall the information she got from "Fuqi".
Sirius Black gradually turned into a black dog through Animagus.
Suddenly, her expression froze, and the last scene in the information fragment given by the fate compass that time -
A big black dog is chasing a mouse madly.
She finally understood why Banban looked so familiar to her. It turned out that Banban was the rat that the black dog was chasing! Because the picture only flashed by, and the rat's expression was extremely terrified and twisted, and it was running away quickly.
So it doesn't give a very clear frontal face.
Lin Xia now recalls that after many comparisons, she can be sure that Banban is the rat that the black dog is chasing.
The mouse Scabbers called Pettigrew Peter, and Sirius chased Pettigrew. These two names are obviously related...these two people definitely know each other!
Lin Xia couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Things were becoming more and more interesting.
"Lin Xia, Lin Xia! What do you think?" Harry's voice came anxiously from my ear.
Lin Xia looked at him and shook her head imperceptibly.
To be honest, she didn't want to get involved in Harry's affairs, even though he was a friend she recognized.
Harry bears a strong imprint of Dumbledore. She belongs to Babbling's side. Although she has no disagreement with Dumbledore at present, she rarely interferes in each other's affairs.
She didn't know whether Dumbledore had also arranged this match.
Lin Xia said, "Harry, I may not be able to watch the whole game, only half of it. I have some things to deal with in the laboratory, so I may not be able to finish your work."
"Okay." Harry said with some regret.

Lin Xia thought for a moment, then looked at Draco: "I can go to the lab by myself, you stay at the Quidditch field, if anything unexpected happens, you stay and help."
Harry's eyes immediately lit up again. It would be okay with Draco's help.
In terms of fighting ability, Draco is even stronger than Hermione!
-
The Quidditch match is about to begin.
Players from both teams walked onto the field.
The wind was blowing so hard that even the players were swayed from side to side as they walked onto the field.
Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder in the distance, which drowned out the audience's cheers. All Harry could hear was the whistling wind and rain.
Soon, Harry's glasses were wet and the scene around him became blurry in an instant.
He was a little anxious. How could he play basketball in this situation? He couldn't even see the Golden Snitch!
The captains of the two teams shook hands and made tough remarks before the game as usual.
But when he opened his mouth, all the sounds he made turned into strange choking sounds.
Not only him, Slytherin wasn't much better either.
Harry could only turn his head to look at Madam Hooch, whose mouth seemed to say "Mount your broomstick".
Harry pulled his right foot out of the mud and stepped onto his Nimbus 2000.
Madam Hooch put the whistle between her lips and blew it. The sharp whistle sound seemed to come from a distant place - the game officially began!
Everyone was rising quickly, but unfortunately the wind and rain were so strong that even the little wizard in the stands could hardly see their figures clearly.
From a distance, these players looked like a black whirlwind, blending into the dark clouds in the sky.
They appear from time to time, which would cause the little wizard to exclaim in surprise.
"How is it? How did Harry perform? Did the Quaffle and the Golden Snitch come out?" Ron shouted excitedly.
Hermione tried to open her eyes wide and explained, "He seemed to have flown into the clouds, and I couldn't see him.
A Quaffle came out, and the Slytherin saw it and chased it... oh, ha ha, he and his teammates bumped into each other!"
This scene was also seen by other people, who all burst into laughter.
Because of the severe stormy weather, the Slytherin team started a no-class-anyone mode.
The commentator's vision was also impaired, but he still spoke passionately:
"The Quaffle appeared, and the Slytherin team was the first to discover it and chase it, but unfortunately, another teammate also discovered it!
While chasing the Quaffle, the two sides collided with each other and both fell down... Oh, God, fortunately there were no casualties. Quidditch is such an exciting sport, isn't it?
Let’s take a look at Gryffindor’s performance. Because of Slytherin’s big move, the Gryffindor players finally discovered the Quaffle. Let’s see who went to chase it... It was one of the Weasley twins, George!
Well, since I know George well, I'll assume that the man is George, but it could also be Fred.
The two of them are always changing their identities, we can think of them as one person...
Oh great, George caught up with the Quaffle and…well, Gryffindor scores first!!”
The little wizard couldn't see the scene in the sky clearly, and when he heard what the commentator said, he immediately cheered and applauded excitedly.
Gryffindor got off to a good start!
It was lively off the field, but the players on the field were all in a slump.
After only five minutes on the field, many players felt soaked and frozen.
Because his fingers had been tightly gripping the broom handle for so long, they were a little stiff when he opened them, and even the movement of dodging was not very flexible.
boom!
Because they couldn't dodge in time, an accident happened on the field soon after, and the Slytherin players and Gryffindor players collided with each other!
Both parties fell into the air together. The little wizard felt a little distressed, but they quickly stabilized the broomstick.
High in the sky, Harry kept looking for the Golden Snitch.
As he was still thinking about the scene he saw in the crystal ball, he would glance down from time to time.
The first row of the stands was still empty, with nothing in it.
Harry wondered if he was flying too high and that had affected his vision. After all, his lenses were wet and blurry.
My body grew colder and the weather gradually became worse.
The Golden Snitch was not found for a long time, and Harry was attacked by several Bludgers and almost knocked off his broom.
Because of his poor vision, he didn't even see the Bludger flying towards him.
"This won't do. It's becoming harder and harder to hold on to the broom!" Harry was determined to change that.
Then the next second, he almost collided with the Slytherin player.
He suspected that the player's vision was also blurry. How could he be flying straight towards him?
The moment the two sides collided, the Slytherin player was also startled and cursed:
"Shit, I thought it was my teammate!"
Harry:…
Because everyone is wet, like a drowned rat, so the colors of the green and red jerseys are a little indistinguishable after being soaked by the rain, right?
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and suddenly Madam Hooch's whistle was heard from the ground, and Harry flew down.
With a crackling sound, all the team members fell on the muddy ground.
"I called a timeout." Wood yelled to his players, "Get over here!"
They squeezed temporarily under a large umbrella beside the court. Harry looked back at the first row of platforms, which was still empty.
Hermione and Ron saw Harry looking back and waved at him excitedly.
Harry wanted to wave, but he was afraid that Wood would be angry, so he didn't move. He looked at the game and asked, "What's the score?"
Harry also discovered at this time that Lin Xia was not with them, and must have gone to the laboratory.
