"Good, that's it... Neville, shake your hand three times quickly, don't stop..."
As the last Gryffindor Quidditch match against Ravenclaw was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, the D.A.'s event had been moved to Saturday.
Professor Flitwick normally spent half his Defense Against the Dark Arts class explaining Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guidebook, and the second half of the lesson, they were instructed to practice defensive spells. Of course, having learned the spells beforehand, the second years performed extremely well, much to his delight, and barely earned back the points he had lost in Potions.
They were practicing the spells of Stupefy and Quick Resuscitate today, and the sound of people falling to the ground was incessant in the classroom.
Ron slumped on the air cushion in a disgraceful manner, rubbing his swollen head and wailing," Colin, please spare me. With your skill, you might as well knock me out with a stick…"
Collin scratched his messy hair and chuckled. He raised his camera and took a full-body photo.
"..." Ron did not even have the strength to wail.
Harry smiled and clapped his hands.”
After waking up the unconscious person, everyone sat on the air cushion and talked about tomorrow's game.
"Harry," said Seamus, who had a sudden idea, holding up his badge in the midst of their happy conversation,"wear this at the match, and we'll help you find the Snitch and tell you, won't we?”
Harry laughed and raised an eyebrow.”
"Yeah, Harry's got to find the Snitch first.”Colin said confidently.
said Hermione sternly,"We don't need to cheat.”
Seamus stuck out his tongue."Just kidding-"
" But this badge is really useful. It would be great if I could use it during the exam-" Ron looked regretful.
"Ron? "Weasley-" called Hermione."You wouldn't need to think about it if you were too busy studying.”
Harry changed the subject before Ron could raise an eyebrow."Speaking of studying, how's your third year coming along?”
"I think all the subjects on the new list are interesting, but some of them overlap and I don't know which to give up."”
The time revolver seemed interesting, but it was not worth it to work himself to death for it. Moreover, it was so strange to meet another him. Well, I'll just borrow Hermione's research.
Looking at her encouragingly, Harry said,"You can ask Professor McGonagall if she has any ideas-they didn't limit us to a maximum of subjects, did they? There should be a way to solve it, right?"
Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
Neville said gloomily,"I'd give up Potions if I could, but Grandma says it's a compulsory O.”
Harry and Neville had been separated by Snape in Potions, and his true identity as the Cauldron Killer had finally been revealed, and Snape had been so frightened that he had never looked at him before.
"You're just nervous," Harry pointed out."Professor Snape's just strict-" Harry rubbed his nose as everyone stared at him."Well, he's a little mean and a little biased-but you don't have to be so afraid of him, don't you, when we're practicing Potion-Making outside of class, you're pretty good at it?”
Neville hung his head dejectedly." I get the creeps every time I go to the basement. If only I didn't have to learn Potions? There were so many letters from home, and they had so many suggestions that I didn't know who to listen to.”
"At least two," said Seamus."I've chosen Divination and Care of Magical Creatures-the ancient runes look so hard, they're hard to pass, and my mother advised me against them.”
"I pointed at the list with my wand and chose whichever I pointed. Like Seamus, Divination and the Protection of Magical Creatures.”said Dean, grinning. His mother and stepfather were Muggles, and no one could give him any advice.
Hermione looked at him in surprise."But... it's too rash... it'll affect our lives..."
"It's not that serious." Dean waved casually, and Hermione looked irritated.
"Harry, what do you want?" Neville looked eagerly at him.
Harry thought for a moment." Ancient Runes, I think. I've read some books on this subject. It's quite interesting. As for the remaining door, he could learn to protect mystical creatures.”
In fact, he had wanted to study Muggles. As Hermione had said, it was interesting to interpret the Muggle world from a wizard's point of view. But since it was Hagrid's class, he might as well show his support. He wondered if Malfoy would set him up again in class, the guy didn't look that vicious.
" Oh," Neville said in disappointment. Ancient Runes was the first course he crossed out. It was too difficult.
Ron said,"My dad wanted me to study Muggle Studies, but Mum was dead set against it, she said one Muggle-tinker in the house was enough. Neville, let's take Divination and Care of Magical Creatures together, at least we'll have so many people to discuss it with if it's hard.”
Lavender nodded." Yes.”
"Alright, let's continue practicing.”Harry stood up on the air cushion."I've got Quidditch practice later.”
――――――――――――――――――
The next morning, when she woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the sky was as blue as water.
"It's a good day for a competition."
Harry nodded to himself, jumped out of bed, changed into his red uniform, and went into the bathroom.
After washing up, he hung up the towel and suddenly felt the space around him fluctuate.
Damn it, why are house-elves allowed to come and go at will at Hogwarts, where Disapparation is prohibited?
"Dobby," After setting up the barrier, he shouted," Come out!"”
A house-elf in an old pillowcase appeared in the bathroom, his batlike ears twitching uneasily.
"Harry? Mr. Potter is a great wizard, he can find Dobby, but Hogwarts is too dangerous for him to stay here.”Dobby waved his bandaged hand and squeaked, his bulging green eyes fixed on Harry.”
Harry's face sank, his green eyes piercing."You're trying to Disapparate me?”
"Yes, sir, Dobby doesn't want to offend you, but we can't lose-"
Taking a deep breath, Harry interrupted."Do you know what day it is today?”Without waiting for it to answer, he gritted his teeth and said," Today is the day of our competition. It's the last competition of the year. If I disappear somehow and we miss another chance at the Quidditch Cup, I'll be the sinner of Gryffindor. You were behind the Bludger last time, weren't you? Are you trying to save me or harm me? You…"
Harry swallowed the hurtful words that were on the tip of his tongue as he looked at Dobby's frightened but determined gaze and burned ear.
"Petrify them all."
"Vanish."
"Wingardim Leviosa."
Moving the invisible Dobby to the top of the bathroom counter, Harry drew back his wand."I appreciate your kindness, Dobby, though you've caused me a lot of trouble. But I really can't leave Hogwarts. You can leave in two hours when the game is over. I don't want to see you at school again.”
He released the barrier, turned around, and slammed the door.
Fortunately, Ron and the others had gone to the dining room first. Seriously, she ruined her good mood.
Lucius? Malfoy could not have known that the diary was Voldemort's Horcrux, or else he would not have dared to throw it around. What did Dobby hear him say to make him think Hogwarts was in danger? That guy's mouth was too loose.
Although she liked Dobby when she read the original novel, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his self-righteous protectiveness until she met him in person.
Sigh, I hope it won't be too troublesome when it goes back after being missing for two hours.
