One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 237 Black Lightning

The cabin at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest is the residence of Rubeus Hagrid, the Hogwarts gamekeeper.

At this moment, the mixed-race titan, who is more than 3.5 meters tall, is making tea clumsily with the three little ones who are suddenly visiting, and also took out his only special snack "rock cake".

However, considering how hard this thing is, it is even scarier than the legendary "hardware mooncake", so Hermione, who has parents who are dentists, just squeezed it lightly and immediately put it back on the plate calmly.

It might be because the Quidditch match had just ended, so both Harry and Ron were in a very excited state of mind.

Especially the latter, who is talking about what he saw.

"Snape did it! Hermione and I saw it! He was staring at the broom, muttering, he must be casting a spell."

"Nonsense! Why would Snape do that?" Hagrid retorted immediately.

As Dumbledore's confidant, he knew very well how much the headmaster trusted and valued Snape, and he knew a little bit about the grievances between Snape and Harry's parents.

So if there was anyone at this school who wanted nothing to happen to Harry last, Snape was definitely one of them.

But unfortunately, children always only believe what they see.

And coupled with Snape's bad attitude towards Gryffindor students on weekdays, as well as his gloomy personality, he didn't look like a "good guy" no matter what.

So after exchanging glances with Hermione and Ron, Harry finally couldn't help explaining, "Because I found out some of his secrets. On Halloween, Snape wanted to pass the big three-headed dog, but But he was bitten hard. We think he was trying to steal something under the trapdoor."

"Damn! How do you know Lu Wei with three heads?"

Hagrid was so visibly taken aback that he spilled some of the tea he was holding, and quickly picked up a rag to wipe it up.

"Lu Wei with three heads? That dog has a name!"

Ron was dumbfounded, and at the same time began to realize that something seemed wrong.

Hagrid stammered back, "Uh... yes. I bought it from a Greek guy I met in a bar last year, and lent it to Dumbledore to keep watch..."

"Watching what?" Harry asked impatiently.

"Okay, don't ask any more, it's a secret, understand?"

Hagrid interrupted the buoyant curiosity of the little ones in a very rude way.

Although he wasn't very smart, he knew something like the Philosopher's Stone, which was definitely not something a first-year student should know.

But Harry obviously didn't have any intention of giving up, and immediately argued: "But Snape wants to steal that thing!"

Hagrid shook his head vigorously: "Impossible. Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, he would never do such a thing."

"Then why did Snape cast a spell on Harry? I saw it with my own eyes. When I set fire to his robes with the Fire Curse, the uncontrollable broom went away immediately. I read that, If a wizard wants to cast a jinx on someone or something, he has to stare at it. Snape was staring at Harry, and he didn't even bat an eye."

Hermione frowned and gave the evidence she had observed.

From the girl's point of view, this can almost be regarded as "getting stolen from others".

According to the laws of the Muggle world, they can be directly arrested and sentenced for attempted murder.

It's a pity that Hagrid didn't believe the words of a child, especially a child born in a Muggle family, and interrupted impatiently: "I repeat, you are all wrong.

There must be some misunderstanding.

Although I don't know exactly why Harry's broom behaved abnormally, there is absolutely no way Snape would have wanted to kill a student.

Now, all three of you immediately forget about the big dog, and everything connected with this matter.

Because it is very dangerous, concerning Professor Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel..."

"Nicole Flamel?" Hermione froze for a moment, but then her eyes shone slightly. "I seem to have heard Sous mention this name not long ago!"

"Who is he?" Harry asked hastily.

"I don't remember exactly. But we can ask him."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go now."

In the blink of an eye, the three little guys dropped the teacups in their hands, and ran out of the hunting lodge towards the direction of the castle.

And Hagrid sat there sulking at himself for accidentally spilling the secret.

But he obviously didn't know that all of this was in Dumbledore's expectation, and it was even the most important part of the plan.

About half an hour or so, Hermione finally rushed into the room on the third floor with Harry and Ron.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, she immediately asked in a very fast voice: "Sous, did you mention a person named Nicole Flamel before?"

"Um, yes. Any questions?"

Zuo turned his head to stop the ongoing experiment, and looked up at the three silly children who were easily induced by Dumbledore like marionettes.

"Who is he? What does it have to do with our Headmaster, Dumbledore?" Harry couldn't help but interjected.

Because he was so curious about what the big three-headed dog, Lu Wei, was guarding, that even professors like Snape wanted to get it.

"Nicole Flamel, one of the most famous alchemists born in the fourteenth century, is also the longest-lived wizard known so far.

This year, he is about 600 years old. He graduated from Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic, which also has a long history. He is a good friend of our principal.

One of the most famous achievements is the creation of the only Philosopher's Stone.

This top-notch alchemical creation can not only turn other metals into gold, but also refine the elixir of life.

His deeds are generally recorded in various historical books.

Even the chocolate frog wizard cards that you often eat as a snack have many records of this.

If I remember correctly, one of the chocolate frogs you ate on the train was Dumbledore, and it contained some achievements about him and Nicole Flamel. "

Zuo Si gave all the information about this alchemist straight to the point.

In other words, this was originally the clue that Dumbledore deliberately left for "Savior" Harry to pursue.

But he didn't quite understand why the old man was so obsessed with letting a child take on the task of destroying Voldemort, even at the cost of his own death.

Isn't it a Horcrux?

Wouldn't it be good to resurrect and kill once, find one and destroy the other?

Why bother.

Anyway, with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore can live for hundreds or even thousands of years like Nicole Flamel, slowly consuming with Voldemort, to see who will eventually consume energy to kill whom.

You must know that the more you do such things as tearing the soul, the more serious the consequences and costs will be.

No living soul can be divided indefinitely.

So when Voldemort tears his soul to an unsustainable level by making Horcruxes, his own soul will collapse instantly and disappear from this world forever.

In the end, Zuo Si could only classify Dumbledore's behavior as that his vision was not high enough, and he didn't have a good understanding of the essence of life and soul.

After all, the wizards in this world haven't even figured out what death is, let alone come back to life in the true sense.

So it is understandable to have an instinctive awe and fear for things like Horcruxes.

But in Zuo Si's view, the so-called horcrux is just a low-quality version of the Lich's phylactery, perhaps far inferior to the Lich's phylactery.

Because the phylactery at least preserved the soul of the lich intact, and the Horcrux only retained a small fragment of the soul.

Perhaps the Grand Arcanist who became the Lich of the Fat Mansion—the Fragmentation of Phalaenopsis invented by Owo, may have adopted a similar idea.

However, being so proficient in necromancer magic, he should not make such an extremely stupid move as tearing his own soul, but instead make every phylactery a container that can preserve the soul.

When one of them is destroyed, the soul will be transferred to another phylactery immediately, so that even if only one phylactery is not destroyed, you will never die.

"Alchemist? Philosopher's Stone? Can transform metal into gold and concoct elixir?" Harry had an enlightened expression on his face. "Damn it! I think I see why Snape wanted it."

Ron, who always looked silly, also hurriedly nodded and agreed: "That's right! Who wouldn't want to have such a powerful treasure."

"Sorry to excuse me, do you really doubt that Professor Snape would steal the Philosopher's Stone for money and the elixir of life? Or, do you really know about Severus Snape's reputation in the wizarding world?"

Zuo Si was instantly amused by the stupidity and self-righteousness of the two.

"What's the meaning?"

Ron suddenly felt Zuo Si's eyes looking at him, as if looking at an idiot and fool, and immediately felt offended by his pride.

But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently and explained: "Our Professor Snape is a famous master of potions even in the world.

Every day, wizards from all over the world are willing to spend a lot of money to invite him to help refine some special potions.

If he needs money, he doesn't need things like the Sorcerer's Stone at all. He just needs to take a few more orders and he can earn a lot of Galleons like me.

As for life extension, do you think it is really necessary at Professor Snape's age?

What's more, there are several potions in the potion that can prolong life.

As a potion master, he can concoct it whenever he wants.

So your assumptions about motivation are wrong from the start. "

"But I saw him jinxing Harry's broom on the Quidditch field today." Hermione questioned very puzzled.

"Many things, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth, and it may also be a misunderstanding. How do you know that Professor Snape is casting a curse, not helping to break it?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.

Hearing this sentence, Hermione's eyes flashed a flash of understanding, and she asked impatiently: "You mean...Professor Snape was protecting Harry at that time? And there was someone else who wanted to hurt him ?”

"Instead of being so suspicious, why don't you go directly to Professor Snape himself, or headmaster Dumbledore? Do you need me to take you there?"

Zuo Si was obviously not interested in playing this ridiculous game with the other party, and directly threw out a solution.

After all, this matter was not too complicated from the beginning. On the one hand, it was Dumbledore's deliberate induction, and on the other hand, it was the misunderstanding caused by Snape's gloomy personality and behavior.

As long as we get together and explain things clearly, naturally there won't be so much trouble.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si obviously overestimated the proportion of rationality in the way of thinking of children.

Both Ron and Harry had a considerable degree of prejudice against Snape, so they rejected the proposal without hesitation, and returned to the Gryffindor common room.

In contrast, Hermione became smarter and smarter under the tutelage of Zuo Si. She seemed to have noticed something. After the two of them walked away completely, she lowered her voice and cautiously asked, "Did you already know the truth?" ?”

"Oh? How did you find out?" Zuo Si had a playful smile on his face.

"Because you ruled out Professor Snape's suspicion too quickly, which is illogical. And when it came to confronting Snape and Professor Dumbledore, you didn't worry at all. Except that you already knew the truth , I really can't think of any other reason." Hermione analyzed seriously.

Seeing that the girl still maintained her sanity, instead of being manipulated like a pawn like the other two foolish boys, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Good judgment. You guessed it, I do know some truths, But I can't tell you. Because all these things are the principal's training and testing of our great savior Harry Potter."

"Training and testing?"

Hermione grasped two key words in an instant.

Since she was born in a Muggle family, her attitude towards Harry Potter was not like that of other students who were born in a wizarding family, which was more or less adoring.

It is very clear that the famous "savior" in the magic world is actually a person of the same age as himself, and there is nothing unusual about it.

"Yes. Guess why Harry Potter is called the Savior? Is it just because he was the first man to survive the Killing Curse? Or do you really believe that as a baby he defeated the The Dark Lord that even Dumbledore fears?" Zuo Si asked several key questions in one breath.

Hermione lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head blankly: "I... I don't know."

"So did you notice that lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead?" Zuo Si gave a small hint.

"I noticed. Is there something wrong with that scar?" Hermione asked back, frowning.

"All I can tell you is that it's not an ordinary scar.

It is precisely because of this that Harry is so special and qualified to be called the savior of the wizarding world, at least the British wizarding world.

This word refers not to the past and present, but to the future in the near future.

And it has something to do with a prophecy.

Including Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape, are all insiders of this matter.

So you were worried that Professor Snape would steal the Philosopher's Stone, and you were wrong from the beginning, and you were wrong very much. "

Zuo Si quickly revealed part of the mystery.

He didn't want the smart girl in front of him to follow the original life trajectory and become a babysitter for two silly boys, Harry and Ron. That would be a waste of talent.

Instead, he intends to train him to be his good helper in this world.

Undoubtedly, no matter which one of these heavy news, Hermione's young heart was greatly shocked, and the whole person fell into silence.

After several minutes, she slowly came back to her senses, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "You... how do you know this?"

"It's very simple. When you have enough knowledge and power, you will naturally know secrets that many people have never even heard of.

So promise me, don't follow this matter anymore.

If Harry is really in danger, no matter if it's Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, or Snape, who always seems to be targeting you, they will immediately choose to take action.

Hogwarts is safe, much safer than you think. "

After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the girl's expression of shock beyond measure, and took the swelling potion and poured it down on an experimental mouse.

next second...

The size of the mouse began to expand rapidly, from the size of a palm to the size of a cat in the blink of an eye.

It's just that because the muscles, blood vessels and skin are stretched to the extreme, the appearance looks extremely hideous and terrifying.

The inside of the body looks round as if it is filled with air.

What's even more incredible is that in this state, the strength actually increased several times, and there was a harsh creaking sound.

But after a while, the rat's inflated body exceeded the limit it could bear, and then exploded with a bang.

Blood, minced meat, bones, and offal splattered in all directions.

Fortunately, Zuo Si was prepared and threw it into a sealed transparent container in advance, so it did not cause too much pollution to the room.

With a wave of the wand, the cleaning spell instantly cleaned up the bloody container.

Through this experiment, he can basically confirm that the swelling potion is the same as the swelling spell, it can increase the target's size by almost six times, and its strength will increase by about three times.

If it is subdued by the summoned creature in battle, it will greatly improve its close-to-body combat ability.

The only thing that is uncertain now is what is the upper limit of the dosage, and whether it will be weakened or enhanced by the consumption of the creature's own magic resistance.

The more in-depth understanding of those interesting spells and potions, the more Zuo Si felt that there are many things with great potential in this world.

It's just that due to the long-term peaceful environment, the wizards did not put their main energy on developing killing, destroying and destructive spells.

Many of these spells and potions can kill people instantly and easily with a little modification.

"what are you doing?"

The sudden exploding mouse obviously aroused Hermione's curiosity, making her temporarily forget the subversive information just now.

Zuo responded without looking up: "It's nothing, just to test the effect of the swelling potion. Oh, by the way, considering that the Christmas holiday will not be long, so starting tomorrow, all work will stop. No more orders will be taken. You can relax and get ready to go home with your parents."

"What about you? Will you stay at school or go home during Christmas break?" Hermione tentatively asked.

"Of course it's going home. I have a lot of ideas and plans, and I plan to get them all done during this holiday. Besides, there are still some things that need to be purchased." Zuo Si casually stated his arrangements.

To be honest, the Christmas holiday given by Hogwarts is not too long, only about two weeks.

Considering that I have to return to Faerun to deal with some things, in fact, it is estimated that the real available time is about five or six days.

"Well, it looks like you're going to have a busy holiday. Send me an owl if there's anything you need. Or call, of course."

Hearing that Zuo Si had an arrangement, Hermione swallowed back the words that she wanted to invite Zuo Si to her home for Christmas, and then ran back to the Gryffindor common room as if she had done something wrong .

However, Zuo Si, who was in a state of concentration, didn't notice this, and in the next few days began to make the flying broom promised to the twin brothers of the Weasley family.

As an expert in the manufacture of magic items, the knowledge, technology, and convenience brought by his career as a creator are simply beyond the reach of wizards from flying broom manufacturing companies.

After purchasing suitable wood through special channels, it took less than half an hour to mold it into the desired shape.

Different from the shape of the traditional broom, the design of Zuo Si adopts a streamlined frame full of technology, and the ends that look like a bunch of dead branches are directly sprayed with a huge metal four-hole Accelerator replaced.

This thing uses the principle of the wind-making technique, through the four injection holes, it can accelerate in four gears, and at the fastest time, it can even exceed the speed of sound in a short time, and by adjusting the position of the injection holes, it can achieve a 90-degree sharp turn.

In order to offset the damage that may be caused by super high speed, he also added a series of constant absorption and protection magic to ensure that the person riding on it will not be injured or even die when the sound barrier is broken.

Finally, near completion, a shield spell that automatically triggers when in danger is added to ensure a small measure of protection should it be necessary to collide with an opponent.

In short, the two black brooms designed and produced by Zuo Si are completely crushing the existing flying brooms in this world, even the "Firebolt", which will be hailed as the highest craft of flying brooms in the future.

Moreover, when the four jet accelerators at the rear are functioning, visual flames ranging from red, orange, to blue and white will be generated according to different speeds, so as to satisfy the psychology of the twin brothers who like to be eye-catching at any time.

According to the original plan, Zuo Si wanted to give away two brooms as gifts on Christmas Eve.

But who knows that plans never change fast.

On the eve of the second Gryffindor Quidditch match, when George and Fred passed by by chance again, they found the black broom on the shelf and immediately exclaimed with excitement.

"Merlin's beard! Is this the broomstick you made? Unbelievable! It's absolutely beautiful!"

"Yeah! This thing is like a work of art!"

"Sous, how fast is it flying?"

Seeing that their saliva was about to flow down, Zuo Si smiled and replied, "It is more than four times that of the Nimbus 2000, the best flying broom currently on the market."

"What? Are you sure this is not a joke!" George opened his mouth in shock.

The speed of the Nimbus 2000 is 300 kilometers per hour, quadrupling that is 1,200 kilometers per hour.

He can guarantee that there is no aircraft in the entire magic world that can reach such an appalling speed.

"Of course not. You will be able to experience it for yourself when you ride on it at Christmas. Remember not to activate all four accelerators at low altitudes, otherwise you may directly hit the ground around the stadium due to the high speed." Stand." Zuo Si kindly reminded.

"Why wait for Christmas? We want to race it for a while now."

Fred immediately threw away the five-sweeping broom in his hand, hugged the black broom in his arms and stroked it affectionately, as if it was the love of his life.

Of course, George was not much better, and made the same choice after only a second or two.

The nature of men who like the new and dislike the old is vividly expressed in them.

Zuo Si rolled her eyes angrily and said, "If you take away the broom now, there will be no presents for Christmas. I won't bother to prepare a second Christmas surprise for you two."

"No problem! Because these two brooms are enough surprises!"

Fred immediately agreed without hesitation.

In his opinion, this was a matter of course.

George also hurriedly nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, brother. This is the best Christmas present I have ever received in my life. By the way, South, do these two brooms have names?"

Zuo Si shook her head lightly: "No, I'm not very interested in naming things. As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter what you name the broom."

"Hahahaha! You are so considerate!" Fred danced excitedly, then turned around and asked his twin brother. "What do you think of calling them black lightning? After all, this is a super broom four times faster than Nimbus 2000."

"Black Lightning is a good name, I totally agree. Come on, let's show it to Harry and Wood now."

"I can't wait to see their stunned faces."

Accompanied by the excited discussion, the twin brothers quickly put their shoulders together and walked towards the court.

Since the game is about to start in half an hour, players from both teams have come to their lounges to make final preparations.

When the two walked in with their uniquely shaped brooms, captain Oliver Wood immediately stood up and asked in a very puzzled tone, "What are you holding? A broom?"

"Of course! This is the new broom we told you about that South promised to make us a while ago. How about it, isn't it cool?" George showed off with a grin.

"According to South, the maximum flying speed of this broom is four times that of Harry's Nimbus 2000." Fred immediately added.

"What? How is this possible!" Angelina Johnson was obviously shocked by this statistic.

Not to mention her, the rest of the team reacted similarly, that is, they couldn't believe it.

In contrast, Wood was more worried about the safety of this kind of privately made broom, and continued to ask with a frown: "Are you sure you won't fall off this broom that hasn't been tested?"

"We believe in South!"

"Yes! He is a genius who knows everything."

When the twin brothers said this, they didn't hesitate or hesitate at all.

"Well, I hope your brooms will be all right in the race."

Regarding the choice of George and Fred, Wood didn't say much.

As a senior student, it is naturally impossible for him not to know Zuo Si's current reputation in Hogwarts and the entire wizarding world, as well as the spell storage technology he invented.

So my heart is full of expectations for these two unique black brooms.

After a short break, Gryffindor and Raven Crow's players soon appeared on the field.

As expected, the black lightning instantly attracted the attention of countless audiences.

Seeing this scene, Lee Jordan, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, immediately stood up and shouted excitedly: "Look! Gryffindor's batsmen George and Fred replaced the sweeping five-stars they used in the previous game! Unbelievable! Because I have never seen a flying broom like this on the market."

If it was normal, when the commentator had such a serious deviation from the game, Professor McGonagall, who was sitting by the side, would definitely remind him immediately.

But this time, she was also attracted by the broom the twins were holding.

After all, back then, this transfiguration professor who always looked serious was also an avid Quidditch fan and player.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have recommended Harry to Captain Wood immediately after seeing Harry's flying talent.

Since Gryffindor and Raven Craw House are not as full of gunpowder as they are with Slytherin House, the relationship between the players on both sides is still harmonious.

During the handshake, one of the Chasers couldn't help asking: "Hey! George, Fred, what's the matter with your broom?"

"Hey! You'll know in a while."

The twin brothers responded with a smile in unison.

A few minutes later, with the whistle of the referee Mrs. Hooch, the game finally officially started.

Just as Harry climbed up to find the Snitch as soon as possible, he suddenly saw George's unique flying broom, emitting a dazzling red flame from the hole in one of the accelerators at the back.

Before he could react to what had happened, the other party passed by him at lightning speed, creating a burst of strong airflow.

It took less than three to five seconds to catch up with the Bludger in front of him, and then he swung the stick hard.

boom!

The Bludger changed direction in response, turning from the player chasing Gryffindor to the player Raven Crow.

The latter was frightened and hurriedly adjusted his direction to dodge, thus missing the best time to attack.

Just as he was about to pass the Quaffle to a teammate, Fred caught up to another Bludger in the same way and swung his stick again to force it to change direction.

In a panic, Rawen Crow's Chaser accidentally dropped the Quaffle, which was picked up by the Gryffindor players and quickly counterattacked, successfully scoring a goal.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

The narrator Lee Jordan stood up excitedly and said three unbelievable words in one breath.

"What did I see?

Those two black brooms caught up to the Bludger without any effort!

This is simply amazing!

You must know that even the Nimbus 2000 cannot do this in such a short period of time.

And when accelerating, dazzling flames will be ejected from the back of the broom.

Merlin! I would trade the rest of my life for a broom like this without any Christmas presents. "

There is no doubt that Lee Jordan expressed his inner wishes for many young wizards present.

Ron, who was sitting in the stands, dropped his jaw in shock, and muttered in a voice only he could hear: "This is the new broom that George and Fred mentioned? Damn it! Why is South treating them so well?" ..."

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.

Because Hermione didn't come at all today.

In this way, under the powerful suppression of the new broomsticks of the Weasley twins, the Quidditch game has completely turned into a dodgeball competition. The players of La Wen Keluo may die on the spot if they are not careful. The Quaffle and the Snitch.

As for the result of the game, it was one of the few zero points in the history of Hogwarts.

yes!

The frenzied George and Fred directly blocked the Raven Crow Academy team.

Gryffindor's goalkeeper and captain Wood was so bored that he was about to catch a cold. He didn't have anything to do during the whole process, watching them put on a wonderful performance like a bystander.

Especially the last few times when the four accelerators were activated at the same time, the terrifying speed that swept across the stadium in an instant and the sonic boom and shock wave caused by the supersonic speed drove this group of wizards who had never seen the world into madness.

The cruel reality once again proved that the sport of Quidditch has no fairness at all.

Among other things, the fact that even the flying brooms are not unified means that a big fuss can be made in this area. In essence, it is not much different from the high-tech swimsuits, running shoes and undetectable doping in the Olympics.

This is also one of the important reasons why Zuo Si has never been interested in sports competitions.

In his view, cheating is the instinct of all intelligent creatures. As long as there are enough interests in it, the contestants will do everything possible to use various means to increase their chances of winning.

After the game was over, the player La Wen Keluo, who had been abused for a whole game, approached the principal Dumbledore and Mrs. Hooch immediately, and asked to ban this kind of cheating broom.

Because if it is not banned, there will be no suspense in all Quidditch matches before the two graduate.

And this kind of behavior of constantly hitting the Bludger at the player is too dangerous, and a little carelessness may cause death.

In the end, under the joint protest of the other three colleges, Dumbledore finally made a compromise, saying that the school would pay for the twin brothers to buy two light wheels 2000 in exchange for them giving up using black lightning in the game.

It has to be said that although this result seems to be a big loss for Gryffindor College, it is definitely a big profit for George and Fred who have bought two broomsticks for nothing.

So instead of frowning, they laughed happily.

Of course, in order to share the happiness with their teammates and friends, the two generously gave up the black lightning, so that everyone could ride to the sky and feel the speed of lightning.

"Harry, how are you feeling?" Ron asked, fighting back the sour water that kept bubbling from the bottom of his heart.

"Great! If you compare an ordinary broom to a car, then the Nimbus 2000 is like a propeller plane, and the Black Lightning is a supersonic jet plane. Especially when the four accelerators are activated, it seems that the world around them has become blurred I do. I like the feeling."

Harry was an honest boy, he didn't hide his thoughts at all, and he was full of praise for Black Lightning.

Likewise, he also understood Dumbledore's final decision to ban it from intramural competitions.

Otherwise, the future games will lose their suspense and become completely reduced to a show for twin brothers.

Although Harry hoped that his Gryffindor house could always win, he didn't want to win in this way.

"Do you think...if we go to South and ask for it, will he make one for us?" Ron asked weakly.

Harry smiled wryly and shook his head: "Don't dream. I heard that the reason why Zuo Si was willing to make brooms for George and Fred was to reward them for taking the captain of Slytherin house - Ma Cus Flin Te hit from the broom.

I believe you also saw how bloody and brutal the scene was.

So unless we can do the same, it's impossible for Ethos' character to say yes.

And according to Wood's speculation, if a broom like this is put on the market, it can sell for at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of Galleons.

Countless professional Quidditch players and teams would smash their heads over it. "

"Thousands? So George and Fred made a lot of money this time!"

Ron subconsciously turned his gaze to Marcus Flin Te, who had just recovered and was discharged from the hospital not far away, with a malicious gleam in his eyes.

But after comparing the size gap between the other party and himself, he sighed helplessly: "Oh—if only we could make our own flying brooms."

"That would be as easy as beating Marcus Flint into the school hospital. After all, to make a flying broom, even if at least thirty advanced spells are used, the wood must be special wood that can be used to make wands. With the level of Hogwarts students, not many people can do it even after graduating from the seventh grade. If you don't believe it, you can ask Percy."

Harry interrupted his friend's unrealistic delusions.

Compared with Ron, who was born in a wizarding family, he who grew up in a Muggle family is obviously more likely to accept a peer who is better than himself.

As for envy and jealousy, although it can't be said that there is no such thing as complete absence, considering that Zuo Si can live alone in the Slytherin house where all the surroundings are hostile, and can make the other party fear this, Harry feels very admirable.

Because he was bullied and isolated by his classmates more than once when he was in elementary school, and he understands how difficult it is to reverse this situation.

"Well, you're right. Maybe I can borrow it from George or Fred when it's Christmas break."

After all, Ron reluctantly averted his eyes from the black broom held by his twin big brother, and returned to the castle with Harry shoulder to shoulder.

But the rest of the Gryffindors stayed on the pitch, lining up to experience the incredible speed of the black lightning.

The carnival finally came to an end when the sky darkened and the professors started chasing people away.

Even back in the castle, they still talked about the two flying brooms made by Zuo Si with undiminished interest.

Moreover, as the description became more and more exaggerated and outrageous, it even vaguely had the meaning of becoming a campus legend.

The frenzy of horror continued until the Christmas holidays, before waning slightly.

The students, including Hermione, who were going back home for Christmas, had already packed their suitcases and boarded the Hogwarts Express again, heading for platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station.

However, compared with the grand occasion at the beginning of the school year, the number of people on the bus was significantly smaller this time.

Because many students don't want the hassle, they simply choose to stay on campus and spend time with their friends.

While Zuo Si and Hermione were sitting in the same carriage reading quietly, Malfoy and his two followers suddenly appeared at the door of the carriage.
