Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 197 The Gryffindor Quidditch Team's Darkest Day

"I have an idea!"

After a DA meeting, Hermione grabbed Harry and Ron who were about to sneak back to the dormitory, and took a gold coin from her pocket and handed it over.

"Oh my God! Hermione, is this really for me?" Ron grabbed the gold coin and played with it in his hand, his face full of excitement.

"It's not a real gold coin, Ron," said Hermione, taking out another one and handing it to Harry, saying, "Look at the number on the edge of the coin..."

"The real Gold Gallon here is just a number, but I used the changing spell on it, it can be changed. As long as you confirm the time of the assembly, you can change the number."

"When the number changes, the gold coin will heat up, and you can definitely feel it when you put it in your pocket."

"It's great!" Harry couldn't put it down, "I always feel that it's too troublesome and not safe enough to rely on the three of us to notify every meeting. You have helped me a lot!"

"It's not over yet, Harry." Hermione showed a rare smile, took out another stack of parchment and said, "I think everyone who participates in DA needs to sign this contract, and I put a curse on it , if you tell the secret of DA, you will have pimples all over your body..."

"On the face too?" Ron asked.

"It's on my face too!" Hermione nodded, seeing Harry's distressed face, she explained again, "Harry, I'm the same as you, we both believe that no one will be exposed, and being a traitor is just an insurance policy..."

"Okay..." Harry thought for a moment, and finally agreed, "Then we'll send these to everyone at the next assembly."

At the rally a few days later, when Hermione handed out the parchment and gold coins to everyone, they immediately received unanimous praise, and no one questioned the signing of the contract. Everyone was very open.

I'm really surprised at Hermione's level of magic. The changing spell on the coin is at the level of NEWTs. It's really amazing that she can do this in fifth grade.

However, these surprised people did not include Stuart and others. They had seen better ones. For that person, these were only at the level of the second grade.

After collecting their respective coins, the training started this time.All conscious people found their positions one after another and released magic at the target.

Even Hermione is the same, meticulous.Although she is the best practiced of all, the gap with the second is not that big.

After the assembly was over, Harry organized another timeout, and he needed to focus on his match against Slytherin.The new captain, Angelina, is very responsible. She has to arrange training almost every day. The schedule is slow, and Harry has no spare time at all.

There was no Quidditch match for the whole year last year, and everyone was suffocated, not to mention the classic lion-snake fight, which no one wanted to miss.This undoubtedly put more pressure on Gryffindor, which has undergone a lot of personnel changes.

Especially Harry, because the newly promoted goalkeeper is Ron, seeing Ron's performance every time in training will make him a little more nervous, and the process of the game also proved this point.

After the opening, Ron was visibly nervous, his limbs were stiff, and his reactions were always slow.Soon, Gryffindor was 30 points behind.

Harry was very anxious, he knew very well that he had to catch the Snitch as soon as possible, otherwise he might repeat the scene of the Quidditch World Cup final - the team that caught the Snitch would lose the game.

Fortunately, Harry did it, he caught the Snitch before Malfoy, and Gryffindor won.

However, this victory did not make Harry very happy. The last Quaffle hit by Crabbe hit him hard, causing him to fall directly to the ground.Afterwards, Malfoy even made a vicious mockery of the two of them, which made Harry furious, and he waved his fist without thinking, and the twins beside him also rushed forward.

Although it was quickly stopped, they paid a terrible price for it - they were banned again, this time for life.

Clearly, this was Umbridge's work, as she barged in when Professor McGonagall was giving Harry and the twins a lesson.Because of the "No. 20 No. [-] Education Order", even if Professor McGonagall is unwilling, there is no way to change the fate of the three suspensions.

Because of this incident, Harry's dislike for Umbridge increased a bit.

After coming out of Professor McGonagall's office, they returned to the common room. The news made the cheering crowd instantly quiet. Everyone looked like the sky had fallen, especially Angelina.

"This is a dream, this must be a dream..." Angelina stood up from the sofa in a daze, and was supported by her roommate back to the dormitory.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and finally only Hermione was left with Harry.The two sat by the fireplace and warmed the fire, but they didn't say a word.

There was a knock on the door, and Ron came back listlessly.After the game, he quietly left alone, and didn't come back until then, still wearing the team uniform.

"Where have you been?" Harry asked.

"Going for a walk." Ron muttered, lowered his head, and sat down on the chair farthest from Harry.After a while, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Harry, I'll go to Angelina early tomorrow morning and ask to leave the team, I'm really too..."

"If you leave the team, there will only be three people left in the team!" Harry said angrily, "Fred, George and I will be suspended!"

Harry told what had happened, but Ron was even more painful when he heard it, and kept apologizing.Seeing this, Harry was a little annoyed, and began to refute Ron non-stop.As the two talked, they had an argument.

"Okay, that's enough! Don't do this, okay?" Harry burst out suddenly, "It's bad enough, you're not going to make it better by just blaming yourself here!"

Ron still lowered his head, staring blankly at his toes in a daze, not knowing what to say, Harry hugged his head in pain, and collapsed on the sofa.

The lounge was quiet for a while, and no one made a sound.Seeing this, Hermione who quietly hid by the window coughed lightly, and after attracting the attention of the two of them, said calmly: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, we can have a happy chat." Things. I have a piece of news that I think will cheer you up."

"I don't think there is any news that can make me happy..." Ron looked up, still looking lonely.

Hearing this, Harry gave Ron a sideways glance, then looked at Hermione by the window, and said, "Well, I think I really need some good news now. What is it, Hermione?"

Hermione pointed out the window with a smile, and said, "Hagrid is back, and the lights are on in his cabin."

Suddenly, Harry and Ron rushed to the window, looking at the hut in the distance that was lit up at some time, smiles appeared on their faces again.

"Let's go find him!" Harry said excitedly, "5 minutes! See you here in 5 minutes!"

"Okay, five minutes." Hermione nodded and smiled.

very nice.
