The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 79: substitute

"Headmaster, the fat lady has been found. On the map of Argyll County on the third floor, she is in a bad mood..." Snape walked into the auditorium, quickly locked onto Dumbledore's figure, and walked quickly to his side said softly.

Coincidentally, the two of them were so close to Tom that Tom could hear their conversation.

As the two of them approached, Tom woke up. But he still pretended to be asleep.

"Okay, I just found a temporary guard for the Gryffindor portrait hole, and the students can withdraw tomorrow morning."

"Oh, there are still portraits willing to work as janitors?" Snape sneered, he knew very well the attitude of those portraits after learning what happened to the Fat Lady. It is not easy to find someone who is willing to take the blame from this group of daring portraits.

"It was Ser Cadogan, who volunteered for the job."

"Oh—" Snape raised his eyebrows.

The two walked towards the other side, and their voices gradually became inaudible.

It turns out that if you're going to talk about something private, it's best to talk about it in a quiet place—you never know if the person in front of you is pretending to be asleep.

Harry had sensed Dumbledore's arrival the moment the Great Hall door opened. Looking at the two professors muttering in the corner from the corner of the eye, Harry was so anxious that he could not wait to run over to listen to the content of their chat. Harry turned his head and found that his good friend Ron also had a pair of big eyes open, and it seemed that Ron was still awake.

At this time, Dumbledore and Snape moved, and the sound of their footsteps gradually approached. Harry and Ron immediately closed their eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"...The underground classroom, the astronomy tower, and the owl shack have all been searched, but there is no trace of him."

"Very well, Severus, I also expected he would not linger here."

The ensuing conversation was explosive, and Harry listened with such relish that he almost forgot to hide that he was fast asleep.

"Blake, a great wizard, escaped from Azkaban, and then broke into Hogwarts single-handedly..." Snape's tone was full of sarcasm, and he especially emphasized the word single-handedly.

Sirius Black. Just mentioning the name, an indescribable hatred would ignite in Snape's heart: it was this man, and James Potter, who caused him to lose Lily...if it wasn't them, if it wasn't them, at least Lily Not going to die, is it!

Dumbledores are so old and sophisticated, how could they fail to understand what Snape meant. He glanced at Snape, "I trust every Hogwarts teacher."

Snape closed his mouth and said no more.

Dumbledore cast his eyes on Harry who was a few steps away, and said softly: "I believe that Hogwarts Castle is safe, there is no need to tell Potter about it for the time being, let him have a good rest. By the way, you heard that today in Georgia Did something happen at the gate of Lanffindor College? What a pair of excellent little wizards..."

Dumbledore whispered to Snape as they walked away.

The voices of the two were already inaudible, but Harry's mind seemed to be stuffed with paste. He had the same question as Snape in his mind, that is how did Sirius get in?

If he had been asked to answer this question a few minutes ago, he would have said without hesitation that Snape had brought Sirius in as the insider, and wanted to use Sirius' hand to get rid of himself and help the Dark Lord avenge him.

But after hearing that, he hesitated—if he really brought Sirius into the castle, why did Snape ask such a redundant question? How could Sirius act so hastily?

Harry fell into deep thought and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The impact of the Sirius invasion was far-reaching. Filch took down the torn portrait of the Fat Lady and replaced it with a portrait of Sir Cadogan.

This active, violent and aggressive Sir spends half of his day luring others into duels with him, and the other half is used to make up new passwords-passwords are changed at least twice a day, Gryffindor's little wizard Miserable. A little wizard with a bad memory like Neville was locked out of the door every day, and could only wait for others to take him in. It made him think of doing some crooked ways.

But the fate of this kind of hot news is to be overshadowed by another hot news. When the Quidditch match was about to come, the discussion about Black was finally over.

But the day of the first Quidditch match came with increasingly inclement weather - and that didn't stop Gryffindor's Captain Wood from ramping up his training. The whole team has to train extremely hard every day under the supervision of Mrs. Hooch.

As a result, just after the last training session before the game day, Wood brought a message.

"We don't have to play Slytherin!" Wood's face was full of anger, "Flint just came to me and told me we were going to play Ravenclaw - he said their Seeker's arm is not healed .”

"Nonsense!" Harry yelled angrily, "Malfoy's arm has healed a long time ago, he's faking it! We only trained tactics against Slytherin before, but we're going to fight Ravenclaw?"

"Can't the Ravenclaw team resist? Protest against this unreasonable arrangement?" Fred also complained dissatisfied.

Angelina thought for a moment, "Perhaps the Ravenclaw team thinks that they have a better chance of winning in this bad weather-the storm will obscure the Seeker's vision, and our advantage will be weakened, and Ravenclaw Venclaw's rapid advance will not be affected much."

Angelina's analysis is still very reasonable, at least most of the players believe it.

"Then let's let Ravenclaws see what it means to be brave and good at fighting. Our batter combination is the strongest combination in Hogwarts, and it will definitely make this group of Ravenclaws suffer." Wood told everyone. Cheer up.

Harry also swears to himself that he must perform well and capture the Golden Snitch as quickly as possible, so as to save his teammates from being drenched in the rain for too long.

In this competition, the core issue is the weather. In fact, what Marcus said was all nonsense. The fundamental reason for him avoiding the battle was that he didn't want to come out to ride a broom in this kind of weather-this would have to brave the storm, lightning, thunder and rain at high altitude! Think about it, there is no cover around the broom, and it is in mid-air, how windy is that? What's more, no one knows when the game will end - the only time a Quidditch match ends is when the Snitch is caught. Marcus felt that it was too unrealistic to catch the Snitch in the rainstorm, and the game was likely to last for several hours or even until the weather cleared.

After figuring this out, Marcus's brain is broken before he goes to play against Gryffindor.

As for Ravenclaw, there is another story. The reason why Alessandro Rich, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, chose to compete with the Gryffindor team in the rain cannot be the reason why Angelina said that "the advantages are enlarged and the disadvantages are reduced." ’, instead he got a new batch of cloaks, perfect for rainstorms.

"Waterproof cloak!" On the Quidditch pitch, he handed a few brand new cloaks to his team members, "Didn't the spell class teach us to avoid water spells before, so I tried to put it on the cloak , it really worked out!"

As he spoke, he put a cloak on himself. Sure enough, the rain that fell from the sky fell on the cloak, and it just rolled and fell to the ground.

But just a "raincoat" is not enough, the rain will still flow down the hem of the cloak into the trousers, so Rich also attached a water-proof spell to some trousers. Coupled with the mask on the cloak, it can be said to be all-round protection, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in rainy days.

After the team members put on the waterproof cloak, their perception immediately changed. The previously annoying rain had disappeared without a trace, and they seemed to be in a warm and dry room instead of a Quidditch pitch with a lot of wind and rain.

"Mask, put a water-repelling spell on the mask too!" After flying a few laps in the sky, Chaser Roger Davis made a suggestion to Captain Rich.

He had just discovered that although the mask blocked the oncoming rain, the rain also stayed on the mask, seriously hindering his vision.

"No problem, waterproof and moisture-proof!" Under the watchful eyes of his teammates, Captain Rich took out his wand and tapped Roger's mask lightly.

The next moment, there was no drop of water left on the mask, and the rainwater could not stay on it at all.

"It's wonderful!" Roger praised, stepped on the broom and flew into the sky. This time, there was no trace of rain on his body, and his vision was many times wider and clearer than before.

He happily soared through the air on his broom and circled the Quidditch pitch.

Finally, he flew to the super tall pole on both sides of the Quidditch field, waved to Rich excitedly, and gave a thumbs up.

Rich felt a little uneasy instinctively, but he didn't know why.

At this time, a white light flashed across the sky, Rich realized instantly, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful!"

But it was too late, and a bolt of lightning struck the club on the field. Roger was startled, and flicked the broom, but was accidentally thrown off by the broom.

Fortunately, he was not struck by lightning, unfortunately, he was a good thirty feet above the ground.

The students of the Ravenclaw team only heard a "bang" and watched Roger fall into the mud, splashing a large amount of muddy water.

"Merlin!" Richie exclaimed. This was a fall from a height of nine meters above the ground. If there wasn't a large puddle of mud and water on the ground, Roger would have gone to see Merlin by now.

But even with the buffer, Roger himself was seriously injured, and he passed out without a sound. Some teammates wanted to help him up, but they heard Rich yell: "Don't touch him!"

Rich knew that if he fell from that height, his bones and internal organs might be severely damaged. Picking up Roger rashly at this time may cause the broken bones to pierce the internal organs, causing massive bleeding or even more serious dislocation of internal organs that are ruptured or displaced.

In short, the wounded who fell on the ground should not touch him lightly.

"Don't mess with him!"

Rich stepped on his broom, and flew towards the castle quickly after saying a word. He was going to find Madam Pomfrey.

He flew extremely fast, broke through the window of the school hospital in less than a minute, and yelled at the bewildered Madam Pomfrey: "My teammate fell from mid-air!"

Madam Pomfrey was indeed the famous doctor Dumbledore had found. Even though Rich's appearance caught her by surprise, she still reacted immediately, took out her first aid kit in less than ten seconds, and straddled his broom. The two then flew out of the shattered window.

When Madam Pomfrey rushed to Roger's side, it was less than two minutes before Roger fell.

In just two minutes, blood overflowed from the corner of Roger's mouth.

"It's very troublesome," Madam Pomfrey said with an extremely serious expression, but her seriousness never stopped, she quickly took out all kinds of bottles and jars, and poured the liquid inside into Roger's In his mouth or on his body, "The internal organs are broken and the bones are broken. Fortunately, every few years there is always a fall from a high altitude. I have always had sufficient preparations and arrangements."

After taking the medicine, Madam Pomfrey took out her wand and pointed at Roger, and the bleeding from the corner of his mouth stopped immediately, but his face was still as pale as white paper.

"Life saved," Madam Pomfrey frowned, "but he must stay in the infirmary tonight, and I will observe his recovery."

"Okay," Rich agreed, "just..."

Madam Pomfrey immediately interrupted his follow-up speech, "No, but he will definitely not be able to participate in tomorrow's Quidditch match. His bones need some time to recuperate."

For Ricky, it was a bolt from the blue: Tomorrow's game, but their team's Chaser was seriously injured!

It is impossible to change the opponent now-the time to change the opponent has passed, unless the Ravenclaw team surrenders directly, otherwise they will have to play against Gryffindor tomorrow.

In this year's situation, abstaining from a game is the same as directly announcing that he will stop competing for the Academy Cup.

"It's over..." Rich's face was white and his eyes were dull, "This is good—"

He stopped suddenly ~lightnovelpub.net~ because he thought of a path that seemed feasible: Tom Yodel.

This freshman's performance as a Chaser in the first year was absolutely amazing, but it was a pity that he stopped playing Quidditch after he was promoted to the second year.

Now that the Chaser Roger is seriously injured, Rich immediately thought of this junior.

So he let Madam Pomfrey take Roger, who was seriously injured, back to the castle, and he hurried back to the Ravenclaw tower with his broom after disbanding the team—he didn't even have time to change his clothes, shoes and the mud on the broom Water drops are all over the ground.

He found Tom in the common room, and asked him with a shocked expression, "Yordle, can you play Quidditch tomorrow?"
