harry potter book of crimes

After the short period of alone time just now, has the relationship between Harry and Ginny taken a step forward? Anyway, Maka didn't see any concrete signs.

He only knew that something must have happened during that time.

Maybe they are confiding their feelings to each other, or maybe they are looking forward to the future together... Who knows? All in all, Ginny's mental state seems to have recovered a lot, but there is no doubt about this.

"Ginny, did Harry tell you? We are planning to have a small three-on-three Quidditch match!" Seeing her and Harry coming out of the back door, Maka immediately shouted, "I just went into your bedroom.

Glancing at it... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that... I just wanted to say, you also like Quidditch, right? I saw a poster of the Harpies on the wall in your room - "

"Ah... yes." Ginny was obviously fine. She smiled cheerfully and said, "I am a fan of the Holyhead Harpies, and my favorite player is Gwenog Jones! Her hitting

The ball is so touching!”

"Really?" Maka nodded, but felt that the name was a bit familiar, "Oh... hmm? Let me think about it... Ha, by the way! I think you will be looking forward to next school year!"

"What?" Ginny asked curiously, "Next school year? Why?"

"Someone will definitely be able to get you an autographed photo of Gwenog Jones. You will meet him then." Maka deliberately left her in suspense, "Look forward to it!"

"Who?" Ginny asked quickly, "Can you get Gwenog's autographed photo? That's really cool - you know, Gwenog rarely signs autographs for fans..."

"This is a secret." Maka shrugged and said, "For this good news, can I ask you and Harry to go to the front and call Fred and George over? We will-"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a low cry coming from the broom shed behind him.

"Oh -" Ron groaned in a disappointed tone, "Maka, I have bad news here, there may be a shortage of brooms..."

"Aren't there enough brooms?" Harry quickly ran in.

"It's not enough." As Ron spoke, there was another pinging sound in the broom shed, "Look! It doesn't seem to be very obedient?"

In fact, when they heard that the broom might not be able to keep up with the number of people, the most disappointed person was not Ron or Harry, but Ginny who was standing outside.

"...Oh, I don't have a broom." She sighed, frustrated.

The price of broomsticks is indeed not cheap. For the Weasley family, whose family is also not wealthy, it is obviously another expense. And if you buy a second-hand one, you will inevitably encounter various problems.

Minor ailments.

When Maka saw it, she waved her hand indifferently.

"Ginny, it's okay -" he said, turning back to the broom shed and shouting, "Ron, don't mess with Charlie's old broom, I have extra brooms here."

Yes, in order to prepare for the Azkaban jailbreak plan, he once ordered a batch of flying broomsticks. Of course, because the quantity purchased was not small, he chose the relatively cheap Comet series.

However, when everyone heard Maka's words, Ron and Harry immediately ran out, and Ginny immediately looked at him expectantly.

For Maka, who always hovers on the edge of surprise and shock, everyone around him has become completely accustomed to it. It seems that the three of them are probably waiting for some non-existent "miracle moment" to appear again.

"Don't look at me like that," Maka shook her head in amusement, and pulled out two brooms of different models from her waist. "As you know, I don't fly with brooms very much - only the ones I have used before.

Nimbus 2000, and the mass version of Comet 260.”

"Oh——" Ron suddenly felt a little uninterested.

No wonder, after seeing the Firebolt given to Harry by Sirius, who would care about the slightly outdated Nimbus 2000? Not to mention the more "old-fashioned" Comet 260.

"This is already good!"

Ginny looked very satisfied. In her opinion, any broom - even if she could only own it for one morning, it would be enough to make her excited.

Besides, that's the Nimbus 2000! Although it's a little lacking compared to the Firebolt, it's also one of the current professional league-level broom models!

However, Maka has two broomsticks, Nimbus and Comet, which one should she choose?

In terms of inner desire, Ginny is undoubtedly leaning towards Nimbus 2000. The performance of these two brooms is not at the same level at all, so it stands to reason that the choice can be made without thinking.

But after she chose one, Maka naturally had to ride the other one. She was kind enough to lend her one, so how could she choose the right one?

"...Maka," Ginny gritted her teeth secretly and said softly, "I will ride on Hui——"

"Don't rush to choose," Maka suddenly stopped, "Before you choose one from here, I want to ask you a little question first!"

Seeing him asking questions even when lending a broom, everyone's curiosity was aroused again.

"What question?" Ginny asked, "Are you going to test my knowledge of Quidditch? Just ask! I'm confident."

"No, for Quidditch, studying written knowledge is far less effective than actual practice." Maka smiled, "Actually, I just want to ask you, do you really want to be a Quidditch player in the future?

"

"Huh?" Ginny was surprised when she heard this, and then looked at Luna with a slightly complaining look, "Why do you tell others everything?"

"I only told Maka," Luna said seriously, "Maka is not 'someone else'."

Ron and Harry on the side both put on surprised expressions. It was obvious that this was also a secret in Ginny's heart and could not be told to others - at least not for the time being.

"Don't worry," Maka seemed to find it very interesting. He laughed a few more times before comforting him, "Just be careful and don't let Fred and George know. If they don't know, they won't

I will come and tease you in different ways."

"...So, do you really want to consider Quidditch as your future career?"

After making a little joke, he changed the topic and returned to the previous question.

Ginny was a little shy at first, but it was obvious that Maka didn't mean to laugh at her, but was asking her seriously. She hesitated for a while, but finally gathered her strength and nodded.

"Although I have only mentioned it to Luna once, but..." she said firmly, "I will work hard in this direction. I know it must be difficult, but I will not give up."

Maka nodded along with her clearly, and then raised the two brooms in her hands.

"In the next game, you can ride on Nimbus 2000 - don't refuse it yet, I have conditions." He smiled and said, "Tell me! What position do you want to play?"

"Chaser!" Ginny didn't even think about it, the answer in her mind almost came out of her mouth.

"Oh? Why?" Maka felt a little strange this time.

Harry she likes is an excellent seeker, and Gwenog Jones, the star she is chasing, is an excellent beater on the women's Quidditch professional team, but she herself chose

Chaser?

"Although I really want to be a batsman - just like Gwenog! But I don't have as strong a physique as her..." Ginny was a little annoyed at first, but in the blink of an eye she cheered up and said,

"As for the seeker... I actually enjoy scoring goals more than looking for them!"

"Okay! It sounds good, it's a good idea." Maka was the chaser in the Hufflepuff team, and he quite liked this position. "That'll be easy - later

If you behave well enough, my Nimbus 2000 will be yours! By the way, I can also recommend you to the Gryffindor team, how about it?"

"Oh! This, this is great!" Ginny immediately cheered.

Maka glanced in Harry's direction, thinking that her assist was powerful enough.

He didn't mind trying to bring Harry and Ginny together, because he knew that the distance between them was not as big as he thought. If Harry really had no feelings for Ginny at all, he would probably have been there just now when Ginny came down.

It won't be that suddenly enlightened look.

"Come on!" Maka encouraged her, "This Nimbus 2000 was given to me by Professor Dumbledore. It's just a pity that it spent most of its time in my hand gathering dust.

"

"Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny, who was about to extend her hand, immediately stopped when she heard it, "No, no, I can't accept this...it has a more important meaning to you!"

"Its meaning is to fly, especially to gallop on the field." Maka said calmly, "Professor Dumbledore wants me to use it well, but I'm afraid I can't do it - if I transfer it to you,

I believe Professor Dumbledore will be even happier!"

He said, paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Besides, it doesn't belong to you yet! Until your performance satisfies me, I will just lend it to you, that's all.

"

After saying that, Maka thrust the Nimbus 2000 in her hand into Ginny's arms, then stepped onto his Comet 260 and suddenly rose into the air, drawing a smooth arc in the air and flying towards the front yard of the Burrow.

.

"Fred--George--" he shouted as he passed briskly ahead, "come over to the broom shed, we're going to have a little Quidditch!"

The speed of the Comet 260 is indeed not very good. Whether it is the ten-second acceleration or the top speed, it is far behind the popular high-end brooms. But it also has advantages, that is, flexibility in a small range.

Under Maka's precise control, it instantly made a 180° turn at low altitude. The extremely small turning arc made it seem to have no inertia, and then it spun and flew back to the backyard.
