Chapter 4091 4093【Quidditch Match】
Xiang Nan was a little shocked after seeing the news.
To be honest, after entering Hogwarts for two months, although he has been studying and working hard, his mentality has to be said to be a bit relaxed.
But now that he saw this news report, the chord in his heart tightened again.
He knew that if Voldemort was not eliminated, the wizarding world would not be at peace, and he had to work harder.
The weather became very cold over the next few days. The mountains surrounding the school were gray and covered with ice and snow, and the lake surface was as cold and hard as tempered steel. Every morning there is frost on the ground.
Everyone’s mood is similar to the weather. Since the tragedy on Halloween Eve, reading the Daily Prophet every day has become a habit for the students.
??Everyone is paying close attention to the progress of the incident, but unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic only said that it was sending people to investigate, but there has been no progress.
Because the Death Eaters wore masks and cloaks on their faces when they acted, no one knew their exact identities, and naturally there was no way to hold them accountable.
??As a result, the murder case of James Woody could only be left unsolved.
Seeing such a result, many wizards from Muggle families find it incredible and cannot accept it.
After all, the environment in which they have lived since childhood has taught them that “human rights come first” and “violations of the law will be prosecuted.” Now, eleven people died tragically but no one was punished, allowing them to turn a blind eye.
“It’s terrible, how could this happen...” Lily Evans felt terrible.
It is really hard to accept that we suffered such a bad fate just because of our different origins.
"Don''t be afraid, there is Dumbledore in Hogwarts. As long as he is here, those people will not dare to come." Xiang Nan comforted her, "And besides Dumbledore, there is also me. I will also protect you." of."
"Thank you, Severus." Lily said touchedly, "It''s just that I can''t figure out why there is such a person who would kill so cruelly."
"If you can''t figure it out, don''t think about it for now." Xiang Nan advised, "They are all murderers. They regard human life as nothing. They are not normal people at all. It''s not surprising that they can''t figure it out. It''s strange if they can figure it out."
"Then will there be any danger after we leave the school?" Lily asked worriedly.
"That is indeed possible." Xiang Nan nodded, "So it is best not to disclose your home address. It is better to take precautions in advance than to remedy it afterwards."
??Voldemort is not yet going to hunt down all Muggle-born wizards, even first-year students. However, it is not wrong to be cautious in sailing the ship of ten thousand years.
Lily nodded.
…
In the next few days, with the start of the Quidditch season, the haze in everyone''s hearts gradually dissipated.
?Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world, loved by both men, women and children.
??The Quidditch game at Hogwarts is a competition between four houses. There will be a preliminary round first, with four colleges competing in pairs, and then the winner will determine the champion and runner-up, and the loser will determine the third and third place.
The winning team will win the Quidditch Cup and add 150 points to the House Cup. The House Cup is an annual award at Hogwarts. At the end of each school year, the House Cup will be awarded to the house with the highest house score.
Xiang Nan has earned a total of 140 points for Ravenclaw due to his excellent performance in the classroom, second only to a Quidditch Cup, so everyone in the Eagle Academy likes him.
The first game will be held on November 6th, between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Xiang Nan is not planning to go to the game. For him, this kind of game is not interesting. It would be better to take advantage of this little time and read more books.
?On the other hand, Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory were very excited. The three of them were even planning to make a banner to cheer for Gryffindor. However, the drawing skills of the three of them are not very good. They originally wanted to draw a Gryffindor lion, and then write "Gryffindor must win!" around the lion.
After drawing it several times, the lion looked so much like a dog that the three of them were so angry that they wanted to drop their pens.
"Don''t be angry, let me help you." Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
??Then he personally took action and helped them draw a majestic lion on an old sheet, and wrote "Gryffindor must win!" in artistic style.
?And released the speaking spell so that the lion could roar, and cast the shining spell to make the six characters "Gryffindor must win!" shine brightly. In this way, the banner looks very impressive.
“Absolutely, this banner of ours will definitely shock everyone.” Upon seeing this, Gregory said proudly.
"They will definitely make the Slytherin gang mad." Joey also echoed, "Who asked them to call me a ''Mudblood''?"
"Yes, even though we are not Gryffindors, as long as they can beat Slytherin, it will be fine." Benjamin also agreed.
Although he is a mixed-blood like Xiang Nan, he is still an "unclean person" in the eyes of the Slytherin students who pursue "pure-blood supremacy", so when Gryffindor faced off against Slytherin, he also chose to fight for it. Come on Gryffindor.
…
On the day of the competition, Xiang Nan did not go. He continued to read in the library.
The tragedy on Halloween eve set off a warning bell in his heart, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
Because he holds a wand with a phoenix core in his hand, he is destined to oppose the Dark Lord.
?Although this thing sounds very idealistic, the magical world is originally an idealistic world. The existence of magic cannot be explained by science at all.
So Xiang Nan must work hard to improve. After all, he is facing the most powerful dark wizard in a century. A little negligence may cost your life.
?Back at the Ravenclaw common room in the evening, Xiang Nan noticed that everyone was in a bad mood and the atmosphere in the common room was very depressing.
“What’s wrong?” he asked concerned.
“Gryffindor lost, eighty to two hundred and three. Slytherin’s Chaser got the Golden Snitch.” Gregory said depressedly.
Xiang Nan nodded, not too surprised by the result.
Slytherin has always been a strong team, and it is not surprising that they beat Gryffindor. In the original novel, before Harry Potter joined the Gryffindor team, they often lost.
"I hope we can beat Hufflepuff in the next game. In this case, we will be qualified to defeat Slytherin and win the Quidditch Cup." Benjamin said with great enthusiasm.
"It''s hard to say, I checked the records and our school has been in the last five years in a row." Joey waved his hand.
"Don''t be sad, there is always a chance." Xiang Nan comforted them and continued to read his book "Fighting Poison with Fire", which is a book about how to use black magic to protect against black magic.
??It is said that when you are a corrupt official, you have to be treacherous, and when you are an upright official, you have to be even more treacherous. Only in this way can corrupt officials be cured.
?Those dark wizards have no bottom line in their actions. They kill people like crazy and run rampant. They cast the Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, the Fire Curse, the Avada Kedavra Curse... without stopping their lives.
So you need to have a deeper understanding of black magic to be able to deal with them better.
?Just like Dumbledore, he is also very accomplished in the field of black magic, so when he confronts Voldemort, he can easily neutralize the opponent''s attack.
