Chapter 744: Firebolt
Chapter 744: Firebolt
As long as Professor McGonagall writes a letter to the Quidditch boutique and clearly explains the reason, I think the Quidditch boutique will not deliberately conceal it.
If the Firebolt is really a Christmas gift from Sirius Black to Potter, the other party will definitely not be able to walk into the Quidditch boutique and can only order it by mail.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Firebolt is sent directly to Porter from the Quidditch boutique without the hands of other people, there will be basically no other problems with the Firebolt.
Hermione remembered Albert's advice and couldn't help speeding up and walked towards Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor of the castle.
"What's the matter, Miss Granger?"
Professor McGonagall opened the door and looked at Hermione who was standing outside the door somewhat unexpectedly.
"Is such that…"
Hermione quickly spoke to Professor McGonagall of Albert's advice.
"What you said makes sense. I will take the time to go to a Quidditch boutique next day. If it is exactly what you said, it will save a lot of trouble." Professor McGonagall agreed with Hermione's proposal, like buying fire. For such valuables as crossbow arrows, Quidditch boutiques must have relevant records.
Not long ago, Wood also came here.
Professor McGonagall can actually understand everyone's desire for the Firebolt and hope that it can bring victory to the Gryffindor team, but she can't risk Potter's life.
After her opinion was acknowledged by Professor McGonagall, Hermione felt that her heartbeat couldn't help speeding up a bit, and her mood became more cheerful.
After bidding farewell to Professor McGonagall, Hermione turned and left.
The corridors of the castle are long and cold.
Hermione wandered down the corridor, remembering Albert's comfort to herself just now, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
She knew the characters of Harry and Ron very well, and never expected them to become as gentle and reliable as Albert, but sometimes Hermione still wanted them to be mature and stable, even though it was almost a delusion.
To be honest, Albert made her feel more like a close friend than Harry and Ron.
Hermione suddenly understood why Ginny was confused by Tom Riddle's diary. It felt so good to have a close friend who was gentle, reliable, and caring.
She also understood a little bit why there were so many girls in the school that admired and fell in love with him.
I am luckier than Ginny in some ways.
Professor McGonagall didn't take too long to verify Hermione's guess.
A few days later, Professor McGonagall appeared in the Gryffindor common room. As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted everyone's attention, or it was the thing that Professor McGonagall was holding to attract everyone's attention.
The people gathered around almost immediately and asked about the firebolt in Professor McGonagall's hand.
"Where's Potter? Did any of you see him?" Professor McGonagall asked, pushing away the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other, trying to find Harry Potter's whereabouts in the common room.
"Harry is not here. Professor Lupin seems to be teaching him how to resist dementors." Ron stood up, staring straight at the Firebolt, and couldn't help asking, "Professor, Firebolt. Is it okay?"
"Yes, there is no evil curse attached to the Firebolt." Professor McGonagall nodded. He just wanted Ron to transfer the Firebolt to Harry, but he felt unreliable. He looked at Ai who was sitting there. Bert, beckoned, "Mr. Anderson, please give Potter the Firebolt, and don't let them break the broomstick."
Albert was a little dazed and didn't understand what Professor McGonagall did to him. After all, Harry Potter's good friends Ron and Hermione were here, and it was obviously more appropriate to give them to them than to himself.
After Professor McGonagall left, all the students gathered around, obviously eager to see Harry Potter's Firebolt.
"Albert, can you show us the Firebolt, you know, everyone is very curious about Firebolt." Wood reached out and stopped Albert's shoulder. "Before you give it to Harry, you You can put it on the table for everyone to watch.
"Oh, of course, you guys get away!"
Albert drew his wand out of his pocket, swiped it lightly, and turned into two support frames. Then he placed the Firebolt on an empty table and deliberately placed the sign facing out.
Next, Albert waved his wand again, re-supported a glass-like enchantment, and wrapped the firebolt inside.
"You can watch it slowly here. If you want to touch the Firebolt, or try what it feels like to ride Firebolt, I suggest that you can wait for Potter's return and ask for his opinion. I think Potter should I won't refuse." With that, Albert pushed aside the crowd and returned to the chair by the fireplace to continue playing the cat.
There was a wailing in the common room, and many students complained that Albert was nosy.
"Thank you. If it weren't for your suggestion, Professor McGonagall would certainly not return the Firebolt to Harry so soon." Hermione hugged Crookshank and sat next to Albert, looking at the crowd. .
"I think Professor McGonagall will definitely return the Firebolt to Harry before the Gryffindor game. She also played Quidditch before, and hopes that the Gryffindor team will win more than anyone else." He said that he took out a packet of dried fish from his pocket, and after tearing open the wrapping paper, he handed one of them to Tom, and the other stretched out in front of Crookshanks and shook it gently, trying to attract it with food. Attention.
Tom actually dropped the dried fish and stared at the cat in front of him with a warning sound.
"Well, don't be so stingy, it will be annoying." Albert scratched Tom's head to calm it down.
Crookshanks stared at Tom, then looked at the dried fish, and finally opened his mouth to pick up the dried fish and ran to Hermione's feet to eat.
"Crookshanks seems to like eating this thing very much, maybe I should buy it for him so that he won't stare at Ron's mouse all day." Hermione picked up Crookshanks and helped her smooth her hair.
Crookshanks likes to be troublesome, which annoys Hermione very much. Because of this incident, her relationship with Ron became very bad.
"No, I don’t think it’s a food issue. Your pig cat is just staring at Zebra." Ron said angrily. "It has opinions on Zebra. If you want to kill Zebra, you should follow Albert to treat the cat. Put it in a cage instead of letting it wander around the castle."
"Also, there is no problem with that Firebolt at all." Ron left in a huff.
"Isn't that great? At least Harry can use it safely."
Hermione looked a little depressed.
"This is how young people are, no one is willing to give up." Albert began to break the depressed atmosphere around him.
"Speaking as if you were very old."
Hermione was amused by Albert's words, and couldn't help asking, "Have you quarreled with your girlfriend?"
"No. UU reading www.uuk?nshu.com" Albert put Tom on the table, watching the interaction of the two cats, and said calmly, "Actually, I don't think that occasional quarrels are a big deal, but we all know that I know exactly what I need, so I can't make any noise."
Hermione was a little embarrassed. Knowing that she shouldn't ask such a question, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "What if Harry can't master the Patronus Charm in a short time?"
"You should have confidence in Potter. He is the savior. I don't think this can help him." Albert smiled and comforted.
"I don't think Harry likes being said that." Hermione muttered, "I have been practicing the patron saint spell, but this spell is more difficult to master than expected. I really can't imagine how Harry could do it. Master it in a short time."
"Actually, you don't need to worry at all. Dumbledore will not let the last thing happen again, so even if you can't master the Patronus Charm for the time being, you don't have to worry about having problems during the Quidditch game." Albert bent over and hugged Tom. , Continued, "For Potter, the significance of learning the patron saint spell is more to resist the dementors' influence on him, rather than to prevent the appearance of dementors during the game."
