Chapter 23)Forest and opportunities
[You probably won't believe it, but I thought I wouldn't be able to release a chapter today. There were several reasons, but the most important one was that I didn't know how to get several people to accompany the mc into the forest. But after rereading my chapters, I found a great opportunity and therefore Harry and Ron will be in this chapter. Well, let's move on to the chapter without spoilers]
Morning at Hogwarts. As always, I finished my workouts and went to the shower. After the shower, all the Slytherin students met me in the common room.
"Good morning Greengrass, I hope you have prepared a couple of chests of gold to pay off the debt." I was greeted by Malfoy with his smug grin and his nose turned up, as if the sky itself owed him
"I don't remember borrowing from anyone, and especially from all the people gathered here." I say to the audience
To be honest, I really don't remember what I could have done to all these lovers of superiority, so they turned on me.
"Well , well , my friend Manuel , you've already forgotten how we all argued that Harry Potter could become a seeker," Vaizey tells me with greed in his eyes
God, if my life was a novel, then Vaizey should be a character for one chapter and the author would forget about him. But no, this is life and here I have to deal with him again.
"If that's what you're talking about, firstly you haven't won the bet yet and secondly I said that he could become a seeker before the end of the year, and not after the first lesson." I said , trying to hide my annoyance at these idiots who are called pure - blooded wizards , even if they are children
"Oh Greengrass, don't be so boring, let's raise the stakes. Potter will be able to become a seeker after the first lesson. What do you think? " said Malfoy with undisguised excitement in his voice
Wow, maybe my memory is wrong, but in original Malfoy was not a gambling maniac. Is this what is called the difference of this world from the original? No matter how risky it is, it will also give me the opportunity to use debtors for my plan.
"Great , how much are we raising the stakes ? "I say with an expression as if I was forced .
Already thinking in my head who from this gathering will be useful and who is not sorry in case of failure of the plan. Again, it should be a small family that costs nothing and in case of disappearance, no one will stand up for it. Of course, this is only in the worst case, I hope it won't come to that.
"Well , how about raising the stakes say 5 times ?" said Malfoy in turned to the others for support
"Hmm 5 times is a bit"
"Yes 5 times is the most"
"Maybe more than 5 times?"
"No, 5 times is the most"
Everyone started discussing and making decisions.
"Excellent 5 times, so 5 times. Be ready to sell yourself to pay my gold," I tell them with confidence
"Sure , don 't worry Greengrass ," said Malfoy with a grin .
"Can we go to the dining room already? Other houses can do something if our whole house is not in the dining room ," Daphne came out and reminded everyone about our breakfast
While everyone was leaving, Daphne came up to me with some concern.
"Are you sure it was right to accept the new bid ?"Daphne says with concern
"It 's okay , I 'm confident that I 'll win this bet . Plus it will help with our plan. " I say with confidence.
"Great, I don't want Mom to complain that I let you do something stupid." said Daphne
With these conversations, we got to the dining room and sat down at the table.While we ate slowly, I used a little Legilimency to feel the surface emotions of first-year and second-year students. For the third year, they have a little natural defense and I'm not that good at Legilimency.
"Harry, you know that today we have the first lesson on Flying on broomsticks. I'm excited to beat Malfoy in flight," shouts Ron at the opposite table, while not forgetting to stuff as much food into his mouth as possible
To be honest, I do not know how you can eat like this, while still managing to scream. It's definitely some kind of magic.
I'm also a little curious about what Harry will say about this, so I strengthened my hearing with the help of magical energy. Quite an easy trick if you can subtly channel magical energy.
"Ron , keep it down , I 'm excited about it too ." Harry says, trying to calm this animal in human form.
"Come on, Harry , have fun, we can fly in the sky, in the SKY Harry," Ron began excitedly again
Great, I stopped the supply of magical energy, otherwise I'm afraid of going deaf from this.
After breakfast, we went to the Quidditch practice field. And to be honest, I'm not interested in it as much as possible. A couple of years ago, I was also excited about the possibility of flying on a broom, but I'll tell you honestly, it gets boring pretty quickly, especially when you know that you can fly without the help of objects. Of course it will only be in the future. The lesson was held as in the canon.
Will to call a broom, make it fly up in a certain position, sit on it. Here the plot began. Malfoy is bothering Harry and Ron . Neville lost control of the broom flew high into the sky and fell. The teacher took him to the infirmary. Harry takes off on a broom and catches Neville's thing. McGonagall arrives and scolds Ron, Harry and Malfoy.
The next day, the news comes that Harry becomes the youngest seeker in the Gryffindor team and everyone says that Harry has his father's talent and that winning the Quidditch Cup will be for Gryffindor.
To be honest, I do not know if he really has a talent in flight or if this is an old man's conspiracy. In addition to the dining room, I have not met him in the dining room, he really looks like a good-natured grandfather and even his magical energy is quite soft and light, but knowing that Voldi can completely hide his magical energy. I can't believe Dumbledore won't be able to do it either. Well , enough of these thoughts .
Now I'm sitting in the common room with a devilish smile and looking at all the people who participated in the dispute and who owe me a lot of money. Hahahaha here's gold for expenses, for my experiments for this year. It remains only to choose a couple of strong lambs . Ahem ahem, that is, my noble escorts and I will go with Daphne to get unicorn blood.
