Chapter 261 Rumors of Black Magic
? Malfoy was really frightened that night. ?<?<(
After Irving left, he was eventually escorted back to the Slytherin common room.
He kept repeating to others what he saw at the time, seeing the skeleton-shaped death god in Ivan casting the green spell, and feeling the breath of death.
The Slytherin students listened to Malfoy's description, but no one knew exactly what the magic Ivan used was.
After discussion, they generally agreed that what Malfoy saw was just a fantasy. It's not that no one thinks of black magic, but the spells used by Ivan are too rare. Except for him, no one at Hogwarts has read the book "The Secret of Cutting-edge Black Magic".
No matter in terms of difficulty or degree of evil, this spell is beyond the scope of the little wizard's knowledge, and they can't imagine it at all.
They can only give the most probable conclusions within the scope of their own cognition.
That death was just an illusion, and that conclusion reassured Malfoy a lot.
But every time he recalled the scene at that time, the suffocation of death that went straight to the depths of his soul, he still had lingering fears. Aiwen's spell directly attacked the soul. Although it did not hit Malfoy in the end, it had already affected him.
Now, as long as Aiwen is encountered in the castle, Malfoy all walks around. He has become a lot more honest recently, and he no longer comes to provoke or make trouble like he did before.
Although he didn't say it clearly, his expression was clearly filled with fear.
Neither Malfoy nor the other Slytherin students made further moves after the failed ambush of Avon.
Hogwarts did not calm down because of this. I don't know when it started, rumors that Ivan was studying black magic gradually spread in the castle.
The specific source of the rumors has not been explored, but the content is very true. Witnesses seem to have seen Ai Wen researching black magic with their own eyes.
This rumor is like throwing a pebble on the calm lake, causing ripples.
The little wizards talked furtively for a while, and then quickly lost interest. In everyone's opinion, Ai Wen is studying black magic, this statement is too absurd!
They would rather believe that Harry is a descendant of Slytherin and will replace Voldemort as the third-generation Dark Lord, rather than believe that Ivan will become a dark wizard.
After all, what Ai Wen has done in the past two years makes people irresistible.
What's more, as the time for the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw draws near, the little wizards' energies are all turned to the Quidditch match.
There's no doubt that Ravenclaw's Quidditch teams are great, but they're all 7-star sweeps, and they're simply underwhelming compared to Harry's Firebolts.
All Gryffindor students were waiting for this game with high confidence.
Although there are Firebolts, the Gryffindor team did not let up in the slightest, and they trained harder than before. Harry, Ron and Hermione had their usual breakfast in the auditorium during their last training session before Saturday's game.
Wood suddenly came over, and he brought Harry the last intelligence instructions before the game.
"Harry, I just found out who the Ravenclaw Seeker is. It's Qiu Zhang, a girl, she's pretty good!"
"Qiu Zhang?!" Harry was stunned for a moment, his heart beating fast, and a picture of a black girl smiling at him appeared uncontrollably in his mind.
"Ravenclaw fourth grader, Irving seems to like her very much." Hermione said with understanding, "On the last day before the Christmas holiday, they even wanted to..."
Hermione couldn't speak anymore, her face turned red, thinking of what she and Ivan did in Madam Paddyff's teahouse that day.
Strictly speaking, that was the first date Ivan and Hermione had. In that small teahouse with a sweet smell in the air, Hermione felt that his head had stopped working, and he couldn't help but hope that Aiwen would kiss like the other couples around...
"Where did they go?" Harry asked curiously.
"No, nothing!" Hermione blushed fiercely, she returned to reality from her memory and hurriedly covered it up.
Just at this moment, an owl flew towards her, and she hurriedly took the letter from the owl's legs.
Hermione's concentration on reading the letter kept her from looking so embarrassed.
"I know that Qiu Zhang, she's very beautiful." Ron gave Hermione a suspicious look and continued, "She's prettier than all the girls I know."
"That's not the point, the point is her Quidditch skills. Harry, you can't be fooled by the opposing Seeker like Angelina and Arya are watching Diggory, we have to win the game, this is our last There is a chance." Wood waved his hand indifferently, "I had hoped that she was not in a good state, and there were some problems with her injuries, but I just got the news that she has fully recovered."
Harry didn't know how to answer, and in Wood's opinion, this might be bad news, but he was inexplicably relieved.
"But don't worry too much!" Wood continued, frowning, "She is riding a Comet 26o, which is a joke compared to Firebolt."
He said, casting a warm admiring glance at the broom beside Harry.
"This broom is our hope, and you and him are the best combination." Wood concluded, "Okay, I'll go to the venue to warm up first, you better hurry up."
"Oliver is driving us crazy, this year is his last chance to win the Quidditch Cup, and to win the game, he wants everyone to hang on the broom all the time."
"I heard from Fred and George that Wood plans to join the club as a professional Quidditch player after graduation, and this Quidditch Cup is very important to him."
"Yeah, that's why everyone worked so hard and didn't want him to have any regrets. We are obviously the strongest team, but we always lose games due to various accidents." Harry sighed and turned his head to see Hermione Looking at the letter he just received, he seemed a little excited, and he couldn't help asking, "Hermione, what happened?"
"It's Hagrid, he won the case." Hermione waved the note in her hand, raised her head and replied with a smile, "The verdict has just come out, the Committee for Disposing of Dangerous Creatures believes that Buckbeak is not in danger, and Malfoy's injury was just an accident. "
"I knew it would be like this, Hagrid and Buckbeak were wronged," Harry said happily, sincerely happy for Hagrid's arrival.
"This matter has been able to go so smoothly, mainly with the help of Mr. Newt Scamander. I have written so many reports in the newspaper before with no effect. Mr. Scamander agreed. …”
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry just thought that he and Ron did not help much in this matter, and almost all the work was done by Ivan and Hermione.
Thinking of this, he was slightly embarrassed.
"Well, it's Malfoy's reaction that makes me weird, Hagrid won, he must be furious." Harry changed the subject hastily, "but he didn't respond, it's so weird, we'd better Be careful, he must be plotting something again. You know, he was very abnormal after the duel club. With the help of Sirius, I obviously defeated him at that time, but he did not come to trouble, which is so strange! "(To be continued.) 8
