"... That sword! I can feel that most of that person's power comes from that sword! It is a terrible power! My child, I never thought about asking you to avenge us. What a harm to you and me. It doesn't make any sense... I just hope that, if possible, I remember to find a way to find that sword and... destroy it! That kind of power should never exist in this world... "
After saying these words, the other party quickly disappeared. But until Xiao Ens left the palace and walked back, his mind was still thinking about the story he just heard. And the figure he saw when he mustered up the courage at the last moment to go around the stone seat.
To be honest, he never expected that a strong man who had such a legendary and bloody battle experience would actually be an old woman who seemed to be kind-hearted!
"Is that... my mother's ancestor?"
Xiao Ens suddenly stopped in the darkness, fumbled and pulled out a string from his collar, and there was a small silver ring on the string. He looked at it carefully in the light of the torch and pursed his lips. The lines on the ring were still clearly distinguishable in the dim light.
On the surface of the ring, there are two birds staring sideways, with an eye-shaped pattern in the middle. This was exactly the same as the carvings he had seen on the back of the stone seat before, and according to his father, Old Taon, the two little birds seemed to be called "ravens."
…
No matter what he discovers every day, life at Hogwarts has never changed much. Until mid-to-late May, the little wizards' daily routine was still studying, eating, and sleeping. Occasionally there will be some entertainment activities interspersed, but most of these have nothing to do with the fifth- and seventh-grade candidates.
Of course, in this short period of time, a Quidditch match in which Hufflepuff was defeated by Slytherin put a lot of pressure on the hearts of the Gryffindor little lions. You know, the game between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw will be held on the last weekend of this month. This is the last game of the season.
Judging from the current overall accumulated points, in this game, Gryffindor just winning may not be effective. They must score enough points to win the final crown with a total advantage.
The stalemate in the total score made Angelina, the captain of the Gryffindor team, always very irritable recently, and her state did not change much until the morning of the game.
"Harry, relax, don't think about that dream anymore!" Across the dining table, Hermione comforted in a low voice, "Isn't your Occlumency very effective these days? Maka also said, it's no big deal... After all, Voldemort is still alive, this is a fact, haven’t we already known it?”
On the other side, Harry poked the food on the plate with his fork, looking not in good spirits.
"Yeah, I know that..." He nodded, "It's okay, I just... well, I just overrevised and was a little exhausted..."
"You have to pay attention to rest! If you collapse before the OWLs arrive, wouldn't it be pointless to review for such a long time?"
It was Ginny who spoke. She looked in good condition, not at all like a Quidditch player who was about to make his debut in the finals of this season.
"You're right, Ginny." Harry smiled at her when he heard this, "You too, I heard that these days you often practice alone after training, be careful not to get injured. "
"Hey, it's okay!" Ginny winked cutely and said mysteriously, "I spent a lot of time preparing for today's game. Look at me later!"
After a while, when Harry and Ginny separated from their friends and walked to the player preparation room of the Quidditch pitch first, Maka also happened to take the Hohenheim brothers and sisters to the pitch.
Quidditch is currently the most popular sport in the wizarding world, and there are quite a few wizards who like it. For example, this fat young man from the Hohenheim family is also a medium-sized fan. Even though he lived to be so old, he really didn't have many opportunities to watch the game live.
Going to the stadium with the three of them was Slughorn, a fat old man with a bald head. These days, he has become quite familiar with Fatty, and he would often warmly invite the brother and sister to sit at his place for a while.
Of course, in Maka's opinion, the old man was probably eyeing the talented little Sarah. This old man, aside from other things, has a very sophisticated eye for discovering talents.
The seats of these four people are naturally at the staff bench. Compared with the positions of the little wizards who have their own destiny, the viewing effect of the staff bench can be said to be quite good.
As the game drew closer to its start, the Quidditch field quickly became lively. This is the last Quidditch match of the school year. It not only determines the Quidditch Silver Cup, but also affects the level of house points. Everyone is very concerned about it.
Not long after, when Luna also took a seat in the Ravenclaw stands opposite, Maka spotted her at a glance. There was no other way, this little girl turned into a living eagle on her head, flapping her wings desperately wherever she went, causing the classmates around her to turn sideways to avoid it, which made people wonder. It's hard to even notice her.
The eagle is the symbol of Ravenclaw, and the reason why she did this strange behavior was actually to support her house in her own way. Although everyone felt her enthusiasm, her eccentric reputation was probably burned into everyone's hearts again.
Seeing the commotion on the Ravenclaw platform, Maka, who was chatting casually with Slughorn and the others, couldn't help but smile secretly and shook her head gently.
Today is a good day...or, I will probably never find better weather than today. The sunshine in May is not very strong, so even if it is a cloudless sunny day, the players do not have to worry about whether they will be too hot to breathe when the game is intense.
The commentator is still Lee Jordan. As a good friend of Fred and George, his mood seems particularly high today. Because as a commentator who got the list of appearances first, he had already discovered Ginny Weasley who suddenly appeared on the list!
To be honest, Angelina, the captain of the Gryffindor team, is more or less a good-looking beauty, but she can't compare to Ravenclaw's Seeker Autumn Zhang. The most important thing in a game is of course the outcome, but apart from that, the appearance of the players will become the primary condition that dominates the intensity of the game.
An eye-catching player is active on the field riding a broomstick. Who doesn't like to see this scene? Therefore, the Ravenclaw team with Qiu Zhang has always had a high support rate among students, tied with the Hufflepuff team with the handsome Cedric.
In comparison, the two teams Gryffindor and Slytherin, which have a high winning rate in the Quidditch Cup, have much fewer supporters.
"...The Ravenclaw team was the first to enter! It can be seen that even in the finals, their expressions are still calm and leisurely..." Lee Jordan loudly said the introduction of the team's entrance routine, and then started again The names of each player were announced, "... Chambers, Bradley Davis... yes, that's right, and the Ravenclaw Seeker Autumn Chang - the girl everyone loves. Son!"
As a qualified commentator, of course, he must treat both teams equally on the field, not to mention that the oriental girl with a gentle personality is really very popular.
"Then! Don't be too busy screaming - yes, then!" Jordan immediately continued to yell, "The Gryffindor team has also entered the field! Look, let's see - the one who came out first is still the red-haired one. The Weasley brothers, they still love to show off! Followed closely by Captain Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell and Alia Spinnet... Oh! Our ace Seeker Harry Potter Ted came out too, and look! He's waving to me! I... Oh! Merlin's beard - who's behind Potter? Who do I see-"
Screaming is always the best way to attract everyone's attention. Even though Jordan had read the list beforehand, he still screamed exaggeratedly.
As he stood up and shouted, a pair of eyes on the high platform also moved to the exit channel, and then a flaming red flashed across everyone's sights at the same time.
"I'm not mistaken! That's Ginny Weasley! The Gryffindor substitute -" Jordan pretended to yell, dancing around, and he was all over the place, "Wait, let me see Look at the list... Oh! She is actually the goalkeeper of the Gryffindor team! Everyone cheers! There is another little beauty on the field today - "
At the staff table, Maka couldn't help but look at the midair a few more times in surprise. To be honest, Ginny's shiny red hair really matched Gryffindor's gold and red uniforms. If the goalkeeper hadn't had to wear protective gear, this little girl would have looked even more dazzling when flying.
Over the field, Harry, who was flying in front of Ginny, slowed down his speed around the field and gave her a gentle high-five, as if to congratulate Ginny on her debut.
On Maka's side, looking at Ginny and Cho, both girls were somewhat involved with Harry. Harry was first attracted by Qiu, and now he and Ginny are finally flying together... Reminiscent of some memories from the past, the fate really made Maka a little emotional.
Not long after, when the players were in position, with a clear whistle, Mrs. Hooch, with short silver hair, unfolded the picture of this year's Quidditch Cup final.
