Harry never thought things would get this bad.
Last Saturday, Sirius had just told him in the Three Broomsticks pub that he would be taken away from the Dursleys during the summer vacation. This news made Harry very excited. For many years, Harry had been eager to leave the Dursleys. The Sili family, and now, this dream was finally coming true, but unexpectedly, just a few days later, Sirius changed his attention again.
Ever since Sirius came out of Professor Blaine's office that day, he had told Harry of his new decision.
He thought it would be better for Harry to stay at a Muggle home. After all, that was the only relative in the world who had blood ties with him. Of course, in order to make Harry's situation better, he could go and talk to Dursley. Let’s talk as a family.
Harry couldn't help but relate Sirius's change of mind to Professor Blaine and Professor Dumbledore.
After all, when Sirius mentioned this matter at the Three Broomsticks last week, Professor Braine had implicitly expressed his disapproval.
But this is simply ridiculous. Why should they make decisions on their behalf?
For several days in a row, Harry felt unhappy in Professor Blaine's physical education class, and he even seriously considered skipping class altogether.
"I advise you to calm down, Harry -"
After Hermione stopped using the Time Turner, her class schedule became much more normal. However, she still had to take several more classes than others. In order to save time, she now learned to read and complete some comparisons while walking. Simple homework.
On a night when physical education classes were required, several people from Gryffindor went together to the classroom filled with armor. When Harry expressed his thoughts angrily, Hermione's eyes briefly left "A Thousand Kinds of Wonders" Herbs and herbs", he said rationally,
"Think of Pansy Parkinson in Slytherin."
Pansy Parkinson is a very annoying girl in Slytherin. Of course, there are not many people who can play with Malfoy who are not annoying.
Generally speaking, the little wizards of Slytherin are more supportive of Professor Brain, because they regard him as one of their own, and Professor Brain, who has become famous in the past two years, undoubtedly makes the little wizards of Slytherin feel proud. Abnormally, Harry heard from Hufflepuff's Justin Finch-Fletchley that people in Slytherin House were eagerly looking forward to Dumbledore's resignation because they thought he would be the headmaster of Hogwarts next. The person must be Professor Brain.
Professor Braine's personality often makes people forget that he was born in Slytherin, and Harry himself does not reject it - if in the future, Dumbledore really loses his energy, Professor Braine will take up the post of principal, but , it was undoubtedly disgusting for him that Slytherin, a group of annoying snakes, had this kind of plan now.
Perhaps because he couldn't stand the torture of the big dung egg anymore, Pansy Parkinson actually dared to skip class when Professor Brain made it clear that the time to give up the class had passed.
Professor Brain was obviously a person who couldn't keep a grain of salt in his eyes. After their training ended, he rushed directly into the Slytherin common room and ordered the Slytherin female prefects to remove Pansy Parkinson from the dormitory. Riti slipped out and trained her alone for two hours.
It is said that Pansy Pankinson spent that night in the school hospital.
Thinking about her fate, Harry shivered a few times and gave up his rebellious thoughts.
Now, Professor Blaine has put new demands on his physical education class.
He keeps a record of how far everyone can move under the attack of the big shit egg, and requires that every class should be improved compared to the last time, even if it is an improvement of one foot, otherwise, he will let you Keep practicing and won't let you go back to the dormitory to sleep.
Harry's encounter in Potions class was another important reason for his bad mood.
Harry didn't know what exactly happened in Professor Blaine's office that day, but Snape was obviously seeking revenge. He intensified his efforts to make fun of Harry in Potions class, because all his class assignments were zero points. Because of this, the length of his after-school essay for Potions class is at least one-third longer than that of other little wizards!
This time, it was not Sirius who helped Harry out of trouble, but Professor McGonagall, because she really couldn't stand the abnormal falling speed of the gems representing scores in Gryffindor's hourglass.
The first heavy rain with thunderstorms this year fell over the weekend, and this heavy rain also heralded the approach of summer.
Ron and Seamus played Gobstone in the common room for half the afternoon, but Harry had been watching the game and did not participate, because the failure penalty of Gobstone always reminded Harry of the smell of turd egg juice, until he played twice After getting tired of Gobstone and switching to Wizard Chess, Harry became a little more interested.
Of course, in terms of the level of wizard chess, Harry and Seamus together could not match Ron. Under the rules of whoever loses, Ron has been sitting firmly, while Harry and Seamus alternately played.
After being beaten by Ron's 'Knight' general again, Harry slapped his mouth with unsatisfied intentions. He looked out the window and realized that the sky, which had been dark all day, was beginning to look a little darker.
"Oh, running--"
The watch he was still wearing told Harry that it was almost dinner time, and he stood up in panic.
A considerable number of young wizards who participate in physical education classes will arrange the half-hour running time required by Professor Brain at the end of the day's class and before dinner. This is the most suitable time and will not affect the arrangement of other times of the day. Too much impact.
"Good luck, Harry—"
Seamus looked up at the world where the rain was pouring, his eyes focused on the chessboard, and he shrugged and said sympathetically.
Professor Brain didn't say you don't have to run when it rains or snows.
Harry looked around and saw that Neville was not in the lounge, Fred and George were nowhere to be found, and Ginny and Hermione were sitting in a remote corner of the lounge chewing their ears.
"What are you talking about?" Harry walked over and asked.
"Penelo Crevat—"
Hermione looked at Harry with a little dissatisfaction, "Luna told me that she often saw Penelope alone in the common room during this period."
"so what?"
Boys are always dull in this regard, and Harry didn't quite understand what Hermione wanted to express.
"So?" Hermione looked even more dissatisfied, "I told Ginny about this, hoping she could persuade Percy. Although I don't know if there is any irreconcilable conflict between them, but-- They’ve always had a good relationship, haven’t they?”
Although he felt that Hermione was a bit nosy, his reason told Harry that it was better not to say what he was thinking, because he felt that Hermione seemed to think that all boys were as heartless as Percy.
They walked out of the lounge together and prepared to run on the Quidditch field. With Hermione, Harry didn't worry much about being drowned in the heavy rain. He knew that she knew many practical little magic spells that could help them get out of some embarrassing predicaments.
The heavy rain that lasted all day made the marble-covered entrance hall slippery like an ice rink. Many young wizards who passed by fell on their backs. Harry and the others could hear screams of pain one after another when they were on the second floor.
"It's really bad. Is there no one here to maintain order?"
Hermione muttered softly, and then, from a high position on the second floor platform, she saw Neville standing at the door of the castle, facing the rain-filled world. From Neville's slumped shoulders, Hermione guessed that Neville was there. Feeling melancholy, she pursed her lips and prepared to ask Neville to join her, but just before Hermione could speak, a sharp smirk suddenly interrupted Hermione's greeting.
It's Peeves!
It suddenly appeared through the ceiling above the foyer, floating at the same level as Harry and the others.
Harry, Hermione and Ginny all noticed that Peeves was holding a bunch of fist-sized water balloons in his arms, and they immediately realized what the prankster was planning to do.
Peeves immediately stared at Neville who was closest to the door. The muscles on his broad and mischievous face were tense. Before Harry and the others could warn him loudly, Peeves grabbed a water balloon and hit it hard. The ground hit Neville on the back of the head.
really weird!
Looking at the trajectory of the water ball sliding in mid-air, Harry and the others had strange thoughts in their minds - why did the water ball thrown by Peeves with all his strength seem to be so slow?
Harry moved his lips, and then he immediately discovered that the speed of the water ball was not slow, because before he spit out the first syllable, Peeves' water ball was only two feet away from the back of Neville's head!
Under the sympathetic gaze of those who saw this scene, Neville suddenly moved. Harry found that Neville, who turned around, still had a familiar look of confusion on his face, but his hand had already been lifted from his side, and, At the critical moment, he accurately caught Peeves' water ball.
boom!
The next second, the water ball thrown by Neville grazed Peeves' stiff cheek, hit the ceiling of the foyer hard, and exploded!
