A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 314 Cat and Mouse, Ravenclaw's Seeker

After the Chinese New Year, the new semester begins, and students return to Hogwarts.

The news that Harry received the Firebolt spread quickly, and Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, danced with excitement, and the other team members were also given a shot of adrenaline.

The Firebolt is a world-class standard flying broom, even all the Nimbus 2001s of the Slytherin team combined are not as good as this one.

Harry is already an excellent seeker, and if he loses with this kind of flying broom, it would be unjust.

Professor Lupin will also teach Harry the Patronus Charm to resist Dementors, which makes them completely relieved. Wood strikes while the iron is hot and increases the number of training to five times a week.

This training intensity is not too strong, but they did not complain, but cooperated quite well.

Gryffindor has not won the Quidditch Cup for seven consecutive years, and Wood is also graduating this year. His only hope may be to lead the Gryffindor team to win the Quidditch Cup before leaving.

Library

Aaron was thinking about the design drawings of the secret base, and Hermione put a pile of books on the desk in the library, looking much more anxious than usual.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Aaron slightly widened his eyes, "Arithmancy charts, runic dictionaries, Muggle heavy object diagrams...

Your will really shocked me, it's been a semester and you haven't given up."

"Don't say it, I feel under a lot of pressure now.

But I really can't bear to give up these classes, why aren't you tired?"

"Maybe I gave up Arithmancy!"

"Lie, I mean you are also taking several classes at the same time, but you are not as...hectic as me." Hermione asked puzzledly.

In the elective course, she was racing against time, dragging her tired body to listen to the class, taking notes, and then facing the homework that could be piled several feet high, but Aaron seemed particularly relaxed. Not only did he not show any signs of fatigue, he could also take a walk in his free time.

"This is the difference between a top student and a top student." Aaron pointed to his head seriously, "I can remember much more than you think."

"What about the homework? How did you write so many homeworks?"

Of course I gave it to the thought body. Isn't that what the clone does?

"Of course I wrote it by hand.

In fact, I also thought about writing with my feet, but it's a little more difficult."

Hermione rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You are so humorous."

"Uh... I'll just think you are praising me."

"Yes, I am praising you." Hermione pushed a pile of notes in front of him impatiently, "Help me check and see if there is anything that needs to be supplemented."

Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Do you feel embarrassed to let me do this?"

"As a friend, do you feel embarrassed not to help me?" Hermione asked back, "If you don't help me, no one can help me."

Aaron was choked and felt a little depressed for some reason.

"Okay! But you can't just let me do it alone!

What about Harry and Ron? Shouldn't you ask them to share the burden first?"

"Harry is busy practicing the Patronus Charm."

"How is he doing?" Aaron asked curiously.

"Just barely." Hermione shook her head slightly, "The Patronus Charm is a very advanced magic, and ordinary magicians may never learn it.

Harry spent a month and could only summon a vague Patronus, so he would not be easily dizzy when facing Dementors."

"That's not enough!" Aaron frowned, "There are at least hundreds of Dementors outside Hogwarts."

"Yeah!" Hermione sighed, "But it's already amazing for a third-year wizard to be able to do this, at least there won't be any accidents in the Quidditch arena."

"Forget Harry, what about Ron?

It's a bit difficult to ask him to help you with your homework, but he can still check your homework, right?"

"Don't mention him to me." Hermione said indignantly, "His mouse Scabbers is missing."

"It's a relief." Aaron said without thinking, but noticing Hermione's red eyes, he decisively put Abe on the desk, "Uh... Abe wanted to kill Scabbers the first time he saw it."

Abe nodded affirmatively, he really didn't like the mouse.

Seeing this, Hermione felt a little better and continued, "He suspected that Crookshanks ate his mouse. It's unreasonable."

"After all, Crookshanks is a cat." Aaron said with a smile, "It's normal for a cat to catch a mouse."

"You think it was Crookshanks?" Hermione's eyes were filled with a hint of unkindness and the pain of being distrusted.

Gulp!

Aaron swallowed his saliva and immediately changed his words: "I have always hated this kind of random guessing of suspects without evidence.

Although Crookshanks has considerable hostility towards Scabbers, no one has seen it with their own eyes, so it may not be it."

"In fact, a few orange cat hairs were found on the floor of Ron's dormitory." Hermione said weakly.

Aaron:......

What's the difference between you and telling lies with open eyes?

"That... maybe you don't want to listen, but if you have time, you should prepare a new ration for Crookshanks, no, buy a new mouse for Ron."

Hermione pursed her lips forcibly and lowered her head to sort out her homework.

"Well, it's my bad luck." Aaron patted his forehead and took out Captain Jack's compass.

"What is this?"

"A magical compass that can point to what you want in your heart." Aaron said seriously, and then stared at the compass needle. The originally motionless needle began to slowly turn, and there was no intention of stopping.

"What is this?"

"This is good news." Aaron smiled, "Scabbers is still alive, and the compass points to its location. Do you want to go find it?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment and shook her head coldly, "No, if nothing unexpected happens, Scabbers will run back. I'm waiting for Ron to apologize to me and Crookshanks."

Aaron blinked, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

"Wait." Hermione suddenly thought of something, "This compass should also be able to find the location of Sirius Black. If we can catch him..."

Pah!

Aaron closed the lid of the compass without saying a word and stuffed it into Abe's pocket.

"Aaron, am I wrong?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"That's right, but I don't want to cause trouble."

"Trouble? How can this be trouble?"

"Of course it is trouble." Aaron sighed deeply, "Sirius is not important, but the person behind him is Voldemort. Although he has not been fully resurrected now, it cannot be denied that he has a large number of loyal followers.

I have offended Voldemort to death, but he is not a threat to me now, but his followers may not be."

"What do you mean?"

"If they knew that I sent Voldemort's loyal servants to Azkaban, they might seek revenge on me. There is no shortage of desperate people in that group."

"Then if the compass is handed over to Dumbledore..."

"Impossible, there is no such possibility." Aaron refused without thinking.

It would be a little risk for him to capture Sirius Black, but with his current strength, this risk can be ignored.

But if the compass is handed over to Dumbledore, the risk is not ordinary. He has never really believed in the character of this wizard who has been sitting on the throne of the White Devil for decades.

"I hope the Dementors can be more powerful, otherwise Harry might have to stay in the castle for a long time."

"But at least it's safe."

......

Saturday, 11 o'clock.

Quidditch field, Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw.

Harry Potter rode the Firebolt and made a high-profile appearance. In order to prevent the Dementors, he hid his wand in his sleeve so that he could use the Patronus Charm at any time.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, the Dementors left him with too much of a shadow. Even if Dumbledore was there, he felt a little timid.

The Firebolt was very fast and had an absolute speed advantage in the game.

Commentator Jordan occasionally inserted a few words about the background of the Firebolt. The speed, performance, and balance were not bad. If they didn't know the character well, they would really suspect that Jordan was paid to advertise the Firebolt.

"Did Ravenclaw change the Seeker?" Aaron looked at the only girl in the Ravenclaw team with some curiosity.

"Her name is Qiu Zhang. Wood said she is a very good seeker." Ron said, "But her broom is too bad. It's just that the Comet series can't compare with the Firebolt."

"Indeed, the Firebolt is much faster than my magic carpet." Aaron said lightly, "But that's not what I want to say. Don't you think Qiu Zhang is beautiful?"

"Well... maybe!" Hermione said with a blush, with a tremor in her voice.

"Humph!" Ron snorted coldly, "At least she is much prettier than someone."

"Ron, stop being sarcastic."

"Did I say anything wrong?"

"You two." Aaron interrupted, "Don't get me wrong, I said Harry Potter thinks she is beautiful.

Didn't you notice? Harry was surpassed by Qiu Zhang several times in a row. His Firebolt is much faster than the Comet. He was stopped again and again when chasing the Golden Snitch."

Hearing this, the two hurriedly turned their eyes to the Quidditch field and found that it was indeed the case.

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw fought back and forth, and they had a certain advantage, but the Firebolt, which they regarded as their trump card, was overtaken by the Comet Broom again and again, and was even forced to change direction.

"Was the Firebolt really cursed?" Hermione said a little uneasily.

"Harry has tried to fly it many times, and there is no problem at all." Ron said, but his face became a little unnatural, "Too despicable, Ravenclaw knew that they could not match the speed of the Firebolt, so he sent a beautiful seeker.

We have to remind him that there is Wood, otherwise Gryffindor may lose."

"Idiot." Aaron rolled his eyes. He just wanted to express that Harry might be interested in that girl, but how did Ron turn it into a honey trap?

"How self-righteous." Hermione also looked at him with some disgust, "Harry would not be so ignorant of the importance!"

Ron was about to say something when he heard the sound of Madam Hooch whistling, followed by Jordan's commentary: Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch, and Gryffindor won.
