Chapter 69 Game
Chapter 69 Game
Annie's speech in the Slytherin common room last year aroused the enthusiasm of the students, and now even Crabbe and Goyle actively raised their hands to speak in class. For Slytherin, [-] points is simply better than It was much easier to brew the potion that Snape had taught them.
So with the active cooperation of the whole school and Snape's double standards, Slytherin only took two and a half days to complete the goal, which made the students of Gryffindor College very annoyed.
Annie's arm had been unbandaged, and the wound was almost healed, but she couldn't swing her wand vigorously, nor could she hold heavy objects.
It is worth mentioning that she injured her right arm.
Heard that in Potions class on Thursday morning, Snape frightened him with Neville's toad, and Hermione got five points deducted from Gryffindor for helping him in private.
On the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Annie ran into Hermione who was in a hurry. She was carrying a large schoolbag, which even had a crack. "It's back to normal." Annie pointed at Hermione's schoolbag with her wand and read. , Hermione looked at her in surprise, "Thanks...but your arm...are you using your left hand?"
Annie nodded, her eyes shifted to Hermione's schoolbag, "There are so many books, aren't they heavy?"
"I've chosen too many classes, so there's nothing I can do." Hermione walked into the classroom as she spoke. After everyone arrived in the classroom, Lupine walked in with a tattered suitcase, looking much better.
"Good afternoon, please put your textbooks in your schoolbag. Today we have a practical class. You just need to take out your wand." Lupine smiled. The students looked at each other curiously and whispered among themselves, except for Loha The special pixie accident, they haven't had a serious practical lesson in Defense Against the Dark Arts yet.
Lupine led them to the faculty lounge, and met Peeves on the way. Lupine used a small spell to drive Peeves away-this made the students pay tribute to the ragged Luping .
Snape sat on a chair in the staff lounge, and he sneered, "If I were you, Lupine, I wouldn't leave complicated things to Mr Longbottom unless Miss Granger Whisper his ear and tell him what to do."
"I originally hoped that Neville could help me complete the first teaching task. I believe he will be very good." Lupine said gently, and Neville's face turned red.
The corners of Snape's mouth seemed to twitch, and he cast his sharp eyes on Anne, "Of course, there is also Miss Anne Potter, if you are considerate enough, you should know that she is still a weak patient, and her body can withstand Don't worry, Lupine."
He slammed the door shut and left the staff room.
There was a broken closet in the room, and something was hitting the wall with a "thump", and the students were scared back a few steps, "It's just a Boggart, who likes dark and confined spaces, closets, under the bed, and sinks The cupboard under it—I've come across one in a grandfather clock once before, can anyone tell me what a Boggart is?" Lupine asked.
The Gryffindors and Slytherins raised their hands subconsciously, a hangover from the previous two days of competition.
Hermione didn't raise her hand, which shocked everyone. Ron opened his mouth and looked at Hermione, "There are things in this world that you don't know?"
"Don't be stupid, Ron, of course I know." Hermione said sternly, "What does it matter if I have one more or one less?" She looked up at Annie hurriedly, and Lupine said, "Then Hermione, Tell me what you know."
Hermione looked at the rickety wardrobe and said softly, "It's a shape-shifting thing, it will become what you fear the most in your heart, Boggarts don't have a fixed form, when you meet it when you're alone, you have to Watch out."
"Very well, I couldn't have said it better myself," said Lupine. "That means we have a huge advantage over Boggarts, Harry, you know?"
Harry noticed that Hermione was in a trance, and he hesitated, "Maybe... there are too many of us, and it doesn't know what to look like?"
"Correct answer, Harry," Lupine laughed. "The only thing that can beat a Boggart is laughter. I need you to think about it and force it into what you think is funny. Here's the spell - no wand , read to me first: funny funny!"
"Funny funny!" the students shouted.
The practice began, with Neville taking the brunt of the brunt, and the one he was afraid of was Snape, and Lupine guided him to think of old Lady Longbottom's attire, making Neville change the Boggart into a green dress with a red Handbag, Snape with vulture peaked hat.Except for the Slytherin students, the rest of the students were laughing.
"He did it on purpose! He knows that Professor Snape hates him!" Draco gritted his teeth, "And that Longbottom, he deserved to be scolded for his poor Potions class?"
Annie's expression remained unchanged. She calmly watched Neville walk back from the front row. His smile froze when he saw Slytherin, "Ann...Anne."
"Overcoming fear is a good thing, but I don't want to see it again—Head Slytherin appears in your grandma's clothes." Anne said calmly, "Professor Snape doesn't like any student, so you don't have to be so frightened, whoever made a mistake He will scold you, you should improve your Potions grades, instead of falling into the fear that the Potions professor brought you."
"Why are you talking so much to him?" Draco sneered, "I think he has long wanted to take revenge on Professor Snape like this."
There was a fight with the Boggart at the front of the line, and there was a scream, then an explosion, and they laughed.
Neville lowered his head, blushing a little, Annie said, "Hermione will deduct points for helping you, so why are you afraid?"
"For you, he is an existence that scares you, but for me, he is my dean, a respectable and admirable Professor Snape." Anne's voice came to Neville who had just arrived. , In the ears of several Gryffindor students who completed the Boggart task.
"Neville, don't listen to her, you're doing great." Seamus said, and Neville looked up, "I see, thank you, Anne." There was a firm light in his eyes, "I'll work hard to change."
He walked to the students in his class, and Annie saw Hermione sitting on a chair on the other side of the room with her schoolbag, crossed her arms and watched the Boggart in front of Ron turn into a big spider, "funny Funny!" The big spider seemed to have wheels on its feet, slipping and falling, and it was Harry's turn——
Lupine blocked him, and the Boggart turned into a silvery white sphere, "Funny funny!" he said lazily, and the Boggart turned into a deflated balloon, boggling up and down the ceiling of the room, " Now, come Slytherin—"
The Slytherins didn't seem to want the Gryffindors to see what they were afraid of, Draco was pushed reluctantly to the front, the Boggart found his target, and then quickly changed—
Lucius Malfoy was holding a cane, with cold gray eyes and a cruel smile on his lips, he walked slowly towards Draco.
Draco's face paled, his hand holding the wand trembled, and Lucius raised the cane in his hand-"Funny funny!" Draco yelled, and Lucius put down the cane and became a A benevolent look.
"Look here!" Lupine yelled, and the Boggart turned into a silvery-white sphere again. "Funny!" The sphere was shoved back into the closet and locked away.
"Excellent! Well done! Let me see, five points to Gryffindor for everyone overpowering the Boggart - five points to Neville, five points to Draco - huh Five points for Min and Harry."
"But Hermione and I didn't do it." Harry said, "You and Hermione both answered my questions correctly at the beginning of the class." Lupine said relaxedly, "It's a pity that there is not enough time, but this class Great success, homework, reading the chapter on Boggarts, summing it up in simple terms—that's all."
Draco followed Anne out of the lounge with a gloomy expression, "I'm finished, this is really finished, everyone knows that the person I fear most is my father."
"Don't think about Draco, it's just a Boggart." Annie comforted him, "This also shows that when you encounter disagreements with your father in the future, you can resist him."
"Yeah, I've resisted..." Draco muttered, but Annie couldn't catch him because the eager Gryffindor discussions drowned out Draco's voice.
"Did you see me take down that female ghost?"
"And my hand!"
"I can't believe that what Malfoy is most afraid of is his father hahahaha!"
"Hush! There they are!"
They walked over laughing and laughing, Harry looked back at Anne, they still had a herbal medicine class, so they didn't have time to talk to Annie.
"Tch, anyway, I overcame the fear in my heart, and I won." Draco said arrogantly, and Annie nodded, "That's right, play a game with yourself, and then defeat yourself."
------------
"Your arm... Can you still participate in the chief challenge tonight?" Pansy was writing homework for the past two days. She remembered that it was the chief challenge tonight, and looked at Annie's right arm worriedly.
"It's okay, I can do it." Annie said lightly, because her arm was injured, she didn't have to do homework this week - of course, she still had to make up.
Snape has been in a bad temper for the past two days, and the whole school knows that Neville fought the Boggart and turned it into Snape in his grandma's clothes, and as soon as Lupine was mentioned and heard by him, he would Staring hard at it, Neville seemed very disturbed by this.
Draco has already let go of the fact that Boggart is his father, and he doesn't care what people outside discuss. He looks like a rebellious teenager, but Annie knows that he adores his father in his heart.
Maybe something happened during the summer vacation that made Draco feel rebellious.
"Annie, can I talk to you?" Sean walked towards their table and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, Sean." Annie stood up, and Sean nodded to her. "We can find a place where no one is around to talk."
Anne looked back at her friends. She and Sean left the Slytherin common room. "This year's head of the academy should be chosen from Sean and Natasha." Pansy said, "Della Ke, do you still want to challenge Anne this year?"
"That's a dilemma. If Draco wins, he won't win by force. Annie's arm is still injured." Nott said suddenly, "If Draco didn't hit Annie, he would be laughed at and even a patient I can't beat them all." After the brawl, he now occasionally joins the conversations of Anne's small group.
In fact, he was already acquainted with Dracopansi and others, but like Blaise, he seldom put anyone in his eyes, and was considered an out-of-group existence.
Draco stared at the astronomy homework in front of him, silent.
At last the night came, and the Slytherins were eagerly discussing the upcoming Chief Challenge.After Sean and Natasha came to the center of the venue, they slowly quieted down, waiting for the chief candidate of the academy to speak.
"Tonight, it's the grade chief challenge for grades [-]-[-] and grade [-], and the house chief challenge for all ages." Sean said, "You have also discovered that this year's male student union president is from Gryffindor College... ...Percy Weasley."
There was a few laughs from the crowd, and Sean continued, "And this does not mean that there are no elites in Slytherin. The chairman of the student council can only be selected in the seventh grade, and the head of the Slytherin house welcomes all powerful Slytherin students." Take the challenge."
"Slytherin has won the House Cup for nine consecutive years, and at the end of last year, as you all know, there will always be some unexpected rewards. We should be thankful that the Slytherin students participated in the Chamber of Secrets incident last time. The college added [-] points." Draco and Pansy held their heads high, Blaise looked very calm with his arms folded, cheers and whistles came from the crowd.
"Now, the Chief Challenge will start in the second grade."
Five minutes later, Cullen Bailey successfully defended his position as the head of the grade and received applause from everyone.
"Third grade, Anne Potter, anyone challenge?"
Someone in the crowd muttered, "Will she still participate if she is injured?" "Malfoy must challenge, what a chance to pull her down." Come on you, if you have a chance, you are more excited than him."
Annie looked at Draco gently, encouragingly.
Draco's face seemed a little strange, he looked at Annie quietly, struggle flashed in his gray eyes, and he was a little moved, and finally he was relieved.
He opened his mouth, and Annie suddenly realized what he was going to say.
"Anne Potter's head is strong and has good character. I think she is the only one who can take on this role." Draco said quietly, "As long as she is the head of the year in Slytherin, I, Draco Malfoy, will be the head of the year in Slytherin." Will not participate in the Grade Chief Challenge for the next few years."
This passage seemed to drop a big rock in everyone's heart, and Annie, the person involved, was even more shocked.
It is absolutely impossible for Draco not to know the weight and significance of this passage. He is expressing his attitude and position.
She clearly saw a flash of appreciation in Sean's eyes, and he said, "The chief of the third grade, it's still Anne Potter, let's continue to the next game..."
Annie retreated into the line, and she whispered to Draco, "You are crazy, and rebellion shouldn't be at this time."
Draco said without changing his face, "I'm calm, Anne, you will have a better future in the future, I'm just doing you a little favor."
Nott clicked his tongue, "It seems that you have made up your mind, haven't you?"
Annie fixedly looked at Draco, and suddenly showed a bright smile, "Thank you, Draco, you have helped me a lot, and I will not disappoint your expectations."
Draco froze for a moment, he looked at Annie puzzled, Annie was already concentrating on watching the duel on the field, her left wrist was constantly twisting.Pansy, Blaise and the others observed Annie's expression, while Nott squinted and looked at her left wrist.
It wasn't until the end of the first round of the academy chief's challenge that they realized what Annie's smile meant.
"I, Anne Porter, submit a request to Sean Kirk for the Academy's chief challenge."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Emotional drama, very slow
To write a lot of details, psychological aspects
Hermione’s first problem is her studies. She’s really under a lot of pressure this year, and she needs to read a lot of books hhh
Coupled with dreams and the future, she will subconsciously avoid too much intimate contact with Annie (of course, if she likes it, she likes it, even if she tries to avoid it, she will still be jealous if she should.)
Coupled with worries about Harry, the conflict between Crookshanks and Scabbers balabala
In contrast, it seems that Anne's side has less pressure to deal with the Slytherin students (nonsense)
