Dementors and Firebolt!

At Hogsmeade Station, the returning students got on a carriage and drove to Hogwarts Castle. Because the return dates of students at the end of Christmas are not the same, there are not many people who were in the carriage. Ryan and Hermione easily found an empty carriage and rode in.

"Ryan, what the hell is pulling this and why haven't I seen it before." After getting in the car, Hermione asked in surprise after taking a look in front of the carriage.

"Thestral." Ryan replied concisely, believing that Hermione must have previewed the entire book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" long ago, and just a little reminder is enough at this time.

"Because we saw someone dying in the Temple?" Hermione suddenly realized after listening to Ryan's answer.

The carriage fell into a somewhat awkward silence, and the carriage rolled forward in the silence. After bypassing the black lake of the school, there was a pair of magnificent cast-iron gates in front of them. On both sides were many stone pillars with winged wild boars on the front. They saw two tall dementors standing at the gate. Guarding it on both sides. At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

"Take this." Seeing that Hermione, who was sitting opposite, looked a little uncomfortable, Ryan took out a runestone and handed it over.

After receiving the runestones, Hermione felt a warm current flowing from the stone in her hand, flowing down her arms all over her body. The pressure and cold from the dementors disappeared.

"I really don't understand why these things were sent to the school?" Ryan grumbled while looking at the slowly moving door, shaking his head.

When they came back to school, they just caught up with the meal. Many classmates looked towards Ryan during the meal.

It seems that the news of his Merlin Medal has spread.

While he was eating a piece of grilled chicken breast, someone next to him came and patted him on the shoulder. Ryan looked up and saw the dazzling red hair. "Ron, long time no see."

"Ah, I didn't expect you to go out so thrilling this time. It's not like we are stuck in school and have to endure dementors flying around the school." Ron said with some envy.

"Thrilling? I'd rather stay in school with the dementors. This time we went out and almost got killed. If it weren't for Ryan's help, I probably wouldn't be able to come back." After hearing Ron's words, Hermione said uncomfortably.

"Well, let's not discuss this." Ron turned his head and said to Ryan: "You know, Harry received a Firebolt this Christmas. We'll win the Quidditch House Cup this time. This is a big deal."

"Firebolt? I saw it during the summer vacation, it's not cheap." Ryan said with some envy, Harry's black dog godfather is really rich. Firebolt is the same as the top sports car in the Muggle world, although the real top treasures of wizards cannot be bought by money though, such as Harry's invisibility cloak.

"By the way, who gave Harry such an expensive broom, it's worth so much?" Hermione asked suddenly as if thinking of something.

It's normal for her to ask this kind of question, just like an acquaintance around us, if someone gave him a top sports car one day, he would definitely ask who it was.

"I don't know either." Harry also walked over from the front at this time. "No card, no sender. It's an anonymous package."

"Well... who would give Harry such a valuable item without telling him who it is from?" Hermione asked.

Before Harry could say anything, Professor McGonagall walked over and said , "I heard someone gave you a flying broomstick, Potter." After asking clearly about it, Professor McGonagall went upstairs with Harry.

After finishing the meal, Ryan and Hermione got the timetable from Professor Sprout and returned to the common room. As soon as they entered the door, they saw people circling around. In the middle was Harry sitting behind the table holding his head in frustration. Ron was comforting him.

"What happened?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Harry's firebolt was confiscated by Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall is worried that the firebolt was a trap from Sirius." Percy emerged from the crowd and said to Ryan. "But to be honest, I think Professor McGonagall did the right thing. Harry always has trouble on the Quidditch court every year. What if something happens again because of this broom?"

"Who the hell told Professor McGonagall?" Ron stood up on Harry's shoulder and looked at the people around him.

When Ryan saw that the situation was not good, he squeezed to the front and said to Ron: "Don't doubt your classmates, this broomstick has been handed over for a Christmas holiday. During this period of time, have you been hiding this broomstick not letting the other houses know about it? Right?"

Harry took Ron by the corner of his clothes and asked him to sit down, and then said to the students around him: "Sorry, Ron was just too anxious to see the Firebolt being taken away. I think it has nothing to do with everyone, after all, during the holidays, I took the Firebolt to the common room to wipe it every day, and fly twice on the playground outside. In this case, Professor McGonagall must know that I have a Firebolt."

"Yes." Percy also stood up. "When Harry received such a valuable gift, Professor McGonagall must've asked to confirm who gave it to him. If he honestly said it was an anonymous gift, it would be inevitable that the broomstick would be brought back for inspection. After all, Professor McGonagall has always been a very serious person here. There will be no ambiguity about the things that might hurt Harry's life."

Now that the matter has been clarified, everyone soon dispersed. Only Quidditch Captain Wood and a few team members rushed around Harry to try to discuss a solution.

After all, during the last game, Harry fell from the sky under the influence of the Dementors and lost the game, so the next game is very important. Firebolt was the most important hope of comeback, so all the members of the Quidditch team gathered around Harry to discuss, trying to find a way to get Professor McGonagall to return the broom earlier.

"I really don't understand why Ron is so emotional. Didn't he know that he almost made a lot of hatred for Harry just now, but fortunately Harry reacted in time." Hermione said to Ryan after they sat down on the sofa by the fireplace.

It seems that after being influenced by Ryan for a few years, Hermione's EQ grew faster than when she was with Harry and Ron in the original book.

Ryan thought of this and with an old man type smile, he said: "But at least these kind of people are simple, making friends with them, you don't need to bother to guess what they are thinking. After all, there is no perfect person in the world. We must learn to tolerate the defects of others as long as they don't cause direct or indirect harm."

"Indeed." Hermione stared at Ryan after she said it. "I think I was too proud in the past and it should have caused you a lot of trouble. Now when I think of it, you also helped me a lot when I communicated with others when I had problems when everyone was doing homework together. So - thank you."

"It's okay." Ryan smiled and began to look at the notes Percy had just lent him, while Hermione was also writing.
