Chapter 889 Misunderstanding
Harry was very disappointed. First, his broom was broken. The lightning not only burned the tail of the broom, but also affected the core of the broom, causing irreparable damage. Second, he lost.
After three years of being a big shot on the court, Harry suffered his first defeat. There was no excuse, which made him very unhappy.
Fortunately, everyone knew that Harry had tried his best. They all saw that Harry chased the Golden Snitch and did not give up even after the broom lost control.
But losing is losing. Harry lost his only chance to win honors and prove himself. Fortunately, Professor Lupin used training to divert his attention, and the training of the Patronus of Expecto began officially.
"Was the spell used by the headmaster that day the Patronus of Expecto?" Harry yearned for it infinitely, because the headmaster who hit the projection of the Grim Reaper was so handsome, and he was exactly the model of the perfect wizard in Harry's mind.
"Yes, but no one can use spells as perfectly as the headmaster, and neither can I, so don't set your goals too high." Lupin has seen that Harry is eager to gain recognition from others and strive to get praise from others, so Harry will never be lazy in things that can be used, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that Harry works hard, and the bad thing is that Harry doesn't know that he may waste time because of blind efforts. Now Harry regards Quidditch as more important than homework, so that the grades of each subject are unsatisfactory, and the history of magic is a mess.
Without parental education and reminders, such problems are inevitable.
"Now let's start with dealing with Boggarts. Remember what you want to be happy and happy." Lupin said, "Are you ready?"
Harry took a deep breath and nodded.
Opening the wooden box, a puff of black smoke appeared in front of Harry and quickly turned into a Dementor and pounced on Harry.
"Huh..." There was no more, Harry had fainted.
The poor child really didn't have many happy things.
Lupin was not in a hurry, because Expecto Patronus was an advanced spell and could not be mastered all at once. He prepared enough chocolate.
"Recently, in addition to rats, a dog has appeared in the school. I will keep an eye on them at all times." Crookshanks came to Duran to report on his work. Since the last time, he has also restrained his temper, stopped being lazy, and performed his protection work diligently.
"Tomorrow is the second Hogsmeade Village Day. Do your job well."
Although terrible things happened before, the principal believed that we should not give up because of choking, so all activities were carried out as usual.
Not only were the students not afraid, but a large number of students who did not experience the scene last time came to the village with great interest to track the enemy's traces.
Harry Potter also wanted to use the invisibility cloak to go to school immediately, but was discovered by the Weasley brothers. They helped their brother's good friend and gave him the Marauder's Map to indicate six unknown secret passages, allowing Harry to violate the rules safely.
In the village, Harry followed the professor and learned the truth. The Black who escaped from prison turned out to be his father's friend. The professor said that Black betrayed his father, which hurt Harry tons. For the first time, he understood how vicious the word betrayal was, which made him lose his parents and become an orphan.
At this moment, Harry was filled with murderous intent. Even his aunt and uncle who had always abused him did not make Harry hate him so much. But this Black really made Harry want to strangle him to death.
Harry cried, he didn't know, he was very angry but cried. Maybe he felt that his parents died unjustly, or maybe he felt pitiful. If there was no Black, then his family would be happy.
Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help crying.
However, Harry didn't expect to see one of the protagonists in the professor's story so soon. Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to have been killed by Black, actually appeared on the Marauder's Map.
The Marauder's Map can show the location of all the people in the school. Harry was also surprised to see the dead. He ignored the curfew and put on the invisibility cloak and left the dormitory. He wanted to see how the dead appeared.
However, the corridor was empty. Harry didn't see or hear any figure at all. He was getting closer and closer to the position of Pettigrew shown on the map. Harry held his breath and prepared for the worst. Maybe he would see a ghost.
But even though Pettigrew passed by him on the map, he didn't find any shadow, not even a ghost. It seems that the map is out of order, Harry thought disappointedly. But just when he was about to go back, he heard a hoarse and low voice that seemed to be begging.
"Forgive me, I won't do it again, please let me go." With a crying tone, it seemed very scared.
Although it was a conversational tone, there was only one voice. Harry felt strange because the voice seemed to come from the direction marked by Peter on the Marauder's Map.
At this time, Peter had stopped. Harry took the courage to walk forward for a while, and the voice became clearer.
"Spare me, don't bite my neck, I promise I won't appear in front of you again..." The rustling sounded like trembling.
It was just at the corner in front, but Harry found that the sound was interrupted when he approached. Carefully, Harry thought that the other party didn't find him. He had an invisibility cloak and his footsteps were very light.
Sticking his head out, looking at the other side of the bend, no one?
It was a cat pressing a mouse. Harry knew Hermione's cat and Ron's mouse.
But there was indeed a sound just now, but there were indeed only the cat and the mouse in this corridor, no one else.
Weird, is it an animal talking? Harry didn't notice that the mouse was almost scared to death, and his eyes were full of pleading. Peter was unlucky to come out and meet Crookshanks who was relaxing at night. It was useless to beg for mercy after returning to human form. When Harry came, he immediately turned into a mouse and was pressed down by the cat.
"Bad cat, this is Ron's pet, not food." Harry denied the unrealistic idea that the animal spoke, but he couldn't watch his friend's pet being eaten, so he tried to save the mouse.
"Boy, you'd better be respectful. Who do you say is a bad cat?" Crookshanks was unhappy.
Ah! Harry stepped back in fear and stepped on a corner of his cloak and fell backwards, revealing his true face, with a look of horror on his face. The cat actually spoke human language? !
"You, you can speak?" Harry said in shock.
"You are surprised. Leave here and don't disturb me when I'm doing things." Crookshanks looked at the mouse unkindly.
"You, you let go of Scabbers, he is a good mouse, don't eat him." Harry has not given up yet.
"I'm not going to eat him, I'm just warning him not to hide around in school all the time. This isn't the place for him to play hide-and-seek." Crookshanks found that the mouse kept changing its position to avoid him, which made him very upset. Today, he met him and gave him a lesson.
"He's just a mouse. He can't understand." Harry calmed down when he thought that this was a magic school and he was a wizard. It was just a cat speaking. He had seen horses and people before. It wasn't strange. "Are you a wizard too? Otherwise, why would you speak? Does Hermione know that you can speak?"
Harry asked curiously. The wizarding world is indeed full of surprises.
