After a while, Sirius also came to cheer Harry up.
After knowing that the Firebolt was a Christmas present from Sirius to Harry, the atmosphere at the Gryffindor table reached its climax.
The little wizards discussed excitedly, envious of Harry.
When everyone surrounded Harry and the Firebolt and happily left the auditorium, Malfoy was standing in front of the gate with a gloomy face, as if he was waiting there on purpose.
"You're sure you can handle this broom, Potter?" said Malfoy in a cold, drawn-out voice, squinting carefully at the broom in Harry's hand.
"Yeah, probably!" Harry replied casually.
"There are many features, this broom." Malfoy's eyes flashed maliciously. "It's a pity that it doesn't have a parachute to prevent you from falling from it."
Behind him, Crabbe and Goyle snickered loudly.
Everyone remembered that in the last Quidditch match against Hufflepuff in Gryffindor, Harry fell off the broomstick because of the dementor.
"It's a pity you can't have another arm, Malfoy!" Harry replied bluntly, "otherwise it could have caught the Snitch for you."
The Gryffindor team laughed loudly, Malfoy's pale eyes narrowed even more, and he took a step forward, clenching his fists to do something to Harry.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Ivan who had just walked up behind Harry.
Malfoy stopped abruptly, a trace of uncontrollable fear flashed across his face, and he remembered the terrible magic that Ivan used on him that night.
He took a step back, unable to explain why, he felt instinctively afraid that this Gryffindor second-year mudblood in front of him was too evil.
He didn't want to provoke Aiwen until everything was investigated.
"Hold on to your broomstick, Potter, today may be the last flight of your life." Malfoy threatened viciously, turning around and walking away slowly.
"What the hell does he mean?" Hermione looked at Ivan and said with some insight, "I thought he wouldn't dare to approach us after that incident!"
"It's just a boring provocation!" said Ron nonchalantly. "After Hagrid and Buckbeak were acquitted and he knew that Harry had a Firebolt, he must be very angry. Look at the shocked expression on his face." .”
"Malfoy can't believe I got a Firebolt, it was the happiest day of my term." Harry nodded approvingly, and said happily, "Don't worry, Hermione, he's bluffing, he's bluffing." Won't"
"It's best to be careful, what kind of conspiracy Malfoy is planning." Ivan reminded, "Just in case, you should wear your wand during the game."
Ivan remembered the last time he was in Hogsmeade, and heard Malfoy talking to Goyle and Crabbe in the Honeydukes Candy Store. Just before he used Harry's invisibility cloak to kick Malfoy into a barrel full of jelly slugs, he heard the other party discussing how to scare Harry by dressing up as a dementor in this competition.
Although this has no effect on Harry, the necessary protection is indeed necessary.
After a few minutes, everyone parted outside the castle gate.
Ivan, Ron, Colin, Hermione, and Ginny went to the stage to find a place, while Harry followed the Gryffindor team to the locker room.
Quite a departure from the last Hufflepuff game, today was a particularly cool and sunny day with very little wind and no visibility issues.
Ai Wen sat in the noisy stands, and other people in the school came to sit down one after another, and came to say hello with people he knew well. Among them, Luna is the most peculiarly dressed. She wears a big blue crystal necklace around her neck, which is particularly conspicuous outside the black school uniform robe. Matching her silver-gray eyes, she looks very ethereal.
"This is a blue crystal, which can bring good luck and help Ravenclaw win the game." Sitting next to Ivan, Luna said in a trance, "But I don't think it's very useful. After the Firebolt, the Ravenclaw team has actually given up. Everyone discussed for a long time last night, studying strategies and tactics, but in the end they didn't have any good ideas, and they all returned to the bedroom dejected."
Aiwen mourned for the Ravenclaw team, and the speed of the Firebolt absolutely swept the other broomsticks.
Not to mention, of the four houses, Harry was already the best Seeker.
In today's game, the confrontation between the two academies is no longer important. Everyone's focus has been shifted to the performance of Firebolt and Harry.
In the venue, topics and discussions related to Firebolt could be heard everywhere. The excited discussions and cheers of the little wizards were endless. Affected by the surrounding emotions, Ivan also became excited. This is the unique excitement of the Quidditch competition.
To his left, Luna did not return to the Ravenclaw stands.
She is not very interested in the competition, but shared with Aiwen the latest research results related to the horned snoring beast.
After the newspaper made a profit, Ivan also funded Luna with a large sum of Galleons to support her research on the Bubble Snot Monster and the Curved Horned Snork.
After that, she regularly reported her research progress and latest discoveries to Aiwen.
Although Ivan is not interested in these things at all, Luna doesn't seem to care. Looking at her, it seemed that she just wanted to tell Ivan.
In the seat on Aiwen's right, Hermione was holding a thick magic book related to centaur stargazing, and took the time to read the contents.
Unlike the expectations of Ivan, Harry, and Ron, she was very worried about her adventure to the centaur tribe tonight, for fear of any accidents.
She advised Aiwen to be prepared. From last night to now, she read a lot of materials related to horse people as quickly as possible.
Of the young Hogwarts wizards, she definitely knows the centaurs the best right now.
More than ten minutes later, the Quidditch teams of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw officially debuted. Amidst deafening cheers and thunderous applause, the Ravenclaw team in blue jerseys flew out first.
The broomsticks they rode were all old-fashioned Sweeping Seven Stars, but they were very skilled and skilled. They flew at low altitude around the stands full of spectators.
A few seconds later, Ivan felt someone stop above him. He raised his head in surprise, and saw Qiu Zhang was smiling and waving to him, looking extremely cute.
After Ivan said hello, she quickly flew to the center of the field.
"Qiu asked me about you!" Luna said suddenly, and she looked at Aiwen with a smile.
Ivan didn't smile. He felt that Hermione, who had been reading next to him, raised her head after hearing this topic, as if she was very interested.
"What is she asking about Ivan?!" Hermione said casually, squinting her eyes, looking at Qiu who had fallen to the center of the field.
Cho was shaking hands with Harry, who seemed very excited and looked a little clumsy.
"Probably because I admire Aiwen, and want to date him or something!" Luna said in her own trance voice, "Not only Qiu, many girls are asking about Aiwen, he is the most popular in the school now. welcome people."
Hearing Luna's praise, Ai Wen blushed slightly.
He didn't know that he was so popular, but if Qiu wanted to date him, as Luna said, would he agree? !
Seeing the beautiful girl in the center of the venue, Ai Wen's thoughts gradually became confused. (.)
