Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 745 Firebolt

  As long as Professor McGonagall writes a letter to the Quidditch boutique and explains why, I don’t think the Quidditch boutique will deliberately hide it.

  If the Firebolt was really a Christmas gift from Sirius Black to Potter, the other party would definitely not be able to walk into the Quidditch boutique store in a big way, and could only order it from the store by mail.

  Under normal circumstances, as long as the Firebolt was sent directly to Potter by the Quidditch boutique without being in the hands of others, there would basically be no other problems with the Firebolt.

  Recalling Albert's suggestion, Hermione couldn't help but quicken her pace and walked towards Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor of the castle.

   "Is there something wrong, Miss Granger?"

  Professor McGonagall opened the door, looking at Hermione standing outside the door with some surprise.

"Is such that…"

  Hermione quickly told Professor McGonagall the advice given by Albert.

"What you said is very reasonable. I will find time to go to the Quidditch boutique some other day. If it is true as you said, it will save a lot of trouble." Professor McGonagall agrees with Hermione's proposal, like buying fire For such valuables as crossbow bolts, Quidditch boutique stores will definitely have relevant records.

  Not long ago, Wood also came here.

  Professor McGonagall can actually understand everyone's desire for the Firebolt, hoping that it can bring victory to the Gryffindor team, but she can't risk Potter's life.

  After her opinion was acknowledged by Professor McGonagall, Hermione felt her heart beat a little faster, and her mood became happier.

   After saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, Hermione turned and left.

  The corridors of the castle are long and cold.

  Hermione strolled in the corridor, remembering Albert's comfort to her just now, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

  She knew the characters of Harry and Ron very well, and never expected them to become gentle and reliable people like Albert, but sometimes Hermione still hoped that the two could be more mature and stable, even though this was almost delusional.

  To be honest, compared to Harry and Ron, Albert felt more like a bosom friend to her.

  Hermione suddenly understood why Ginny was confused by Tom Riddle's diary. It feels so good to have a gentle, reliable and understanding friend.

  She also kind of understood why so many girls in the school admired and fell in love with him so much.

   I am in some ways luckier than Ginny.

  Professor McGonagall didn't take too long to verify Hermione's guess.

  A few days later, Professor McGonagall appeared in the Gryffindor common room. She immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared, or what Professor McGonagall was holding in her hand attracted everyone's attention.

  People gathered around almost immediately, asking about the Firebolt in Professor McGonagall's hand.

   "Where's Potter? Did any of you see him?" Professor McGonagall asked, pushing aside the crowd.

   Everyone looked at each other, trying to find Harry Potter in the common room.

"Harry's not here. Professor Lupine seems to be teaching him how to defend against dementors." Ron stood up, staring at the Firebolt, and couldn't help asking, "Professor, Firebolt?" Is it all right?"

"Yes, there is no jinx attached to the Firebolt." Professor McGonagall nodded. He just wanted Ron to hand over the Firebolt to Harry, but felt that it was unreliable. He looked at Ai who was sitting over there. Burt waved his hand and said, "Mr. Anderson, please hand over the Firebolt to Potter, and don't let them destroy the broom."

  Albert was a little dazed, not understanding why Professor McGonagall gave him the Firebolt. After all, Harry Potter's good friends Ron and Hermione are here, and it is obviously more appropriate to give it to them than to himself.

  After Professor McGonagall left, all the students gathered around, obviously eager to see Harry Potter's Firebolt.

"Albert, can you show us the Firebolt? You know, everyone is very curious about the Firebolt." Wood put his hand on Albert's shoulder and said, "Before you give it to Harry, you It can be put on the table for everyone to watch.

   "Oh, of course you can, step aside!"

  Albert took out his wand from his pocket, waved it lightly, and created two support frames. Then he placed the Firebolt on an empty table, and deliberately placed the sign facing outward.

  Next, Albert swung his wand again, propped up a glass-like barrier again, and wrapped the Firebolt in it.

"You can take a look here. If you want to touch the Firebolt or try to ride a Firebolt, I suggest you wait for Potter to come back and ask for his opinion. I think Potter should I won't refuse." With that said, Albert pushed aside the crowd and returned to the chair by the fireplace to continue petting the cat.

   There was a burst of wailing in the common room, and many students were complaining that Albert was meddling.

"Thank you. If it wasn't for your suggestion, Professor McGonagall would not have returned the Firebolt to Harry so soon." Hermione sat next to Albert with Crookshanks in her arms, and said, looking at the crowd .

"I think Professor McGonagall will definitely return the Firebolt to Harry before the Gryffindor game. She also played Quidditch before, and she is more eager than anyone else for the Gryffindor team to win." Albert As he spoke, Te took out a pack of dried fish from his pocket, tore off the wrapping paper, and handed one of them to Tom, while the other stretched out in front of Crookshanks, shaking it slightly, trying to attract it with food. attention.

  Tom actually dropped the dried fish and stared at the cat in front of him, making a sound of vigilance.

   "Okay, don't be so stingy, you will be annoying." Albert scratched Tom's head to silence him.

  Crookshanks stared at Tom, then at the dried fish, finally opened his mouth to pick up the dried fish, and ran to Hermione's feet to eat.

   "Crookshanks seems to like eating this thing, maybe I should buy it some, so it won't stare at Ron's mouse all day." Hermione picked up Crookshanks and smoothed its hair.

  Crookshanks likes to make trouble for Scabbers, which makes Hermione very distressed. Because of this incident, her relationship with Ron turned sour.

"No, I don't think it's about the food. Your pig cat is after Banban." Ron said angrily, "It has problems with Banban and wants to kill Banban. You should follow Albert's example and kill Banban." Put it in a cage instead of letting it roam around the castle."

   "Besides, that Firebolt is not a problem at all." Ron left angrily.

   "Wouldn't that be nice? At least Harry can use it safely."

  Hermione looked a little depressed.

   "Young people are like this, no one is willing to admit defeat." Albert opened his mouth to break the depressive atmosphere around him.

   "Speaks as if you are very old."

  Hermione was amused by Albert's words, and couldn't help asking: "Have you ever quarreled with your girlfriend?"

"No." Albert put Tom on the table, watched the interaction between the two cats, and said calmly, "Actually, I don't think it's a big deal to quarrel occasionally, but we all know what we need, so Not arguing at all."

  Hermione was a little embarrassed. She knew she shouldn't ask such a question, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "What if Harry can't master the Patronus Charm in a short time?"

   "You should have confidence in Potter. He is the savior. I don't think this can be difficult for him." Albert comforted with a smile.

"I don't think Harry likes being said that," murmured Hermione. "I've been practicing the Patronus Charm too, but it's been harder to master than I thought it would be. Master it in a short time."

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all. Dumbledore will not let what happened last time repeat itself, so even if you can't master the Patronus Charm temporarily, you don't have to worry about encountering problems during the Quidditch match." Albert bent down and picked Tom up , continued, "For Potter, the significance of learning the Patronus Charm is more to resist the influence of dementors on him than to prevent the appearance of dementors in the game."
