The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 215 Dementors and Firebolts

At Hogsmeade Station, returning students boarded carriages and drove to Hogwarts Castle.Because the return date of students is not very concentrated at the end of Christmas, there are not many people in the carriage.Ryan and Hermione easily found an empty carriage and sat in it.

"Ryan, what exactly is pulling the cart? Why have I never seen it before?" Hermione asked in surprise after taking a look at the front of the cart after getting into the cart.

"Thestrals." Ryan replied succinctly. He believed that Hermione must have previewed the entire book of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". At this time, a little reminder is enough.

"Because you saw human death in the pyramid temple?" Hermione suddenly realized after hearing Ryan's answer.

The carriage fell into an awkward silence, and the carriage rolled forward in the silence.After bypassing the school's black lake, in front of them was a pair of magnificent cast iron gates, lined with many stone pillars, with winged wild boars in front, and they saw two more tall, hooded dementors standing at the gate Guarded on both sides.At the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot.

"Take this." Seeing that Hermione, who was sitting across from her, looked a bit unhappy, Ryan took out a rune stone guarded by the soul and handed it over.After receiving the runestone, Hermione felt a warm current emanating from the stone in her hand, flowing down her arms and covering her whole body.All the stress and cold brought by the dementors were gone.

"I really don't know why these things are sent to the school?" Ryan complained, shaking his head as he watched the gate slowly going away.However, that runestone just now proved that besides the Patronus Charm, there are other means that can be used to fight dementors.

When I got back to school, I just caught up with the meal time. During the meal, many students looked towards Ryan.Looks like word has gotten out that he's been awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

Just as he was eating a piece of grilled chicken breast, someone came over and patted him on the shoulder, and Ryan looked up and saw the dazzling red hair. "Long time no see, Ron."

"Ah, I didn't expect you to go out this time to be so thrilling and exciting. It's not like we are trapped in the school and have to endure dementors flying around the school." Ron said enviously.

"Thrilling? I'd rather stay in the school with the dementors. This time we went out and almost lost our lives. If it wasn't for Ryan's help, I probably wouldn't be able to come back." After hearing what Ron said, Hermione said a little annoyed.

"Okay, let's not discuss this." After speaking, Ron turned to Ryan and said, "Did you know that Harry received a Firebolt for Christmas this time. We won the College Cup Quidditch mastery class this time." Not small."

"Firebolt? I saw it during the summer vacation. It's not cheap." Ryan said enviously, Harry's black dog godfather is really rich.The Firebolt is like the top sports car in the Muggle world, although the real top treasures of wizards cannot be bought by Nagalon, such as Harry's invisibility cloak.But the treasures or crossbows that can be bought with money should be regarded as the top products.

"By the way, who spent so much money to give Harry such an expensive broom?" Hermione asked suddenly as if thinking of something.

It's normal for her to ask this kind of question, just like our acquaintances, if someone gave him a top-notch sports car one day, he must ask who gave it to him.

"I don't know either." Harry also walked over from the front at this moment. "No card, no sender written. Completely anonymous package."

"Hmm... who would give Harry something so expensive without telling him who it was?" Hermione asked.

Before Harry could say anything, Professor Mike came over and said, "I heard someone gave you a broomstick, Potter."

After asking clearly that it was not said who sent it, Professor McGonagall went upstairs with Harry.After eating, Ryan and Hermione got the class schedule from Professor Sprout and returned to the common room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a circle of people surrounded there. In the middle was Harry sitting behind the table and holding his head in frustration. En is on the side comforting him.

"What happened?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Harry's Firebolt was confiscated by Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall worried that the Firebolt was a trap for Sirius." Percy came out of the crowd and said to Ryan. "But seriously, I think Professor McGonagall is doing the right thing. Harry always has an accident on the Quidditch pitch every year, what if it happens again because of this broom?"

"Who the hell told Professor McGonagall?" Ron pressed Harry's shoulder and stood up at this moment, looking at the surrounding people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ryan hurried to the front and said to Ron, "Don't be suspicious, students. It's been a Christmas holiday since you got this broom. Have you been hiding this broom and not telling others during this time? ?"

At this time, Harry pulled Ron by the hem of his clothes to let him sit down, and then said to the surrounding students: "Sorry, Ron was just a little too anxious to see the Firebolt being taken away. I don't think this has anything to do with everyone. After all, during the holiday, I take the Firebolt to the common room to wipe it every day, and I fly it twice on the playground outside. In this case, Professor McGonagall must know that I have a Firebolt."

"Yeah." Percy also stood up. "When Harry received such an expensive gift, Professor McGonagall must have asked who gave it to him. If he told the truth, it was inevitable that the broom would be taken back for inspection. After all, Professor McGonagall has always been a very serious person. There is absolutely no ambiguity about something that could have hurt Harry's life."

Now that the matter has been clarified, everyone quickly dispersed.Only the Quidditch captain, Wood, and a few other players surrounded Harry, trying to discuss a solution.

After all, in the last game, Harry fell from the sky under the influence of a dementor and lost the game, so the next game is very important.The Firebolt is the most important hope for a comeback, so all members of the Quidditch team gathered around Harry to discuss, trying to find a way for Professor McGonagall to return the broom earlier.

"I really don't understand why Ron is so emotional. Doesn't he know that he almost got a lot of revenge against Harry just now, but fortunately Harry responded in time." Hermione and Ryan said after sitting down on the sofa by the fireplace.

It seems that after Hermione participated in the after-school homework group for a few years, her emotional intelligence really increased much faster than when she was with Harry Ron in the original book.Ryan thought of this with an old father-like smile and said: "But at least this kind of people are straightforward, and you don't need to bother to guess what they are thinking when you make friends with them. After all, there is no perfect person in the world, as long as it is not principled. problem, we have to learn to tolerate the flaws in others.”

"That's what you said." After finishing speaking, Hermione stared at Ryan and said. "I think my being too proud in the past should have caused you a lot of trouble. Now that I think about it, you helped me a lot when I had problems communicating with others when I was doing my homework together. So—thank you."

"It's nothing." Ryan smiled and began to read the notes that Percy had just lent him, while Hermione was also writing.The last night of the holiday was spent in this quiet and cozy atmosphere.
