Chapter 21: Saved

All the young wizards cheered loudly when they saw Hermione fly up into the sky, thinking she was going up there to stop the fight between the two.

But they slowly realized that something was wrong.

'Why was Hermione screaming?'

Even Arthur was dumbfounded. The group of wizards actually thought Hermione was going to do some amazing trick on her broomstick and were cheering loudly on the ground.

But Arthur didn't have the time to scold them now. As he squeezed his legs together, bent his knees, and threw himself into the sky, flying rapidly towards Hermione.

"Hermione! Don't move, keep your balance!" Arthur shouted loudly towards her in the sky.

But Hermione couldn't stay calm at the moment, holding onto her broomstick for precious life and afraid she would fall down if she let go.

Suddenly, something happened, Hermione's broomstick violently bounced a few times. Then, her speed suddenly increased, and she shot towards to forest.

Arthur became anxious. He leaned forward and almost stuck his entire upper body onto his broomstick. The comet broomstick, which was already at its limit, accelerated again and made creaking sounds as if it could break apart at any moment.

But Arthur couldn't worry about that now. He could clearly see that Hermione's hands were about to lose grip on the broomstick.

Sure enough, after only a few seconds, Hermione couldn't hold on any longer. Her hands let go of the flying broomstick, and she fell straight down.

But Arthur gave it his all and made a final sprint. Just as Hermione was about two meters above the ground, Arthur successfully came below her, let go of his own broomstick, reached out, and caught Hermione perfectly before she hit the ground.

His arms were heavy, and the broomstick also pressed down quite a bit. It was almost touching the ground, and he was afraid it would break apart.

Arthur squeezed his legs together, leaned back, and slowed down the speed.

The moment he landed with Hermione in his arms, The broomstick fell apart into several pieces and was completely destroyed.

Hermione looked up at Arthur in shock and surprise, her mouth hanging open.

Finally, the little girl burst into tears, making everyone who heard it feel heartbroken.

"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall's voice, filled with disbelief, came from far away. Arthur turned around and saw Professor McGonagall running towards them hurriedly, with Harry following behind her.

In the distance, Professor Flitwick was also running towards them, but his short legs made the distance seem so far.

"Mr. Gaunt and Miss Granger. How could you!" Professor McGonagall's yelled when she saw Hermione crying in Arthur's arms. She was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Sorry, Professor, Hermione didn't mean to do it. She just wanted to help," Arthur apologized and then explained what had happened earlier, expressing that Hermione's action was a mistake rather than intentional.

After hearing Arthur's explanation, Professor McGonagall was at a loss for words.

She understood that Arthur was speaking up for Hermione, and she had also saved a student from her own house. She couldn't help but feel grateful towards Arthur.

"Mr. Gaunt, are you okay?"

At that moment, Professor Flitwick arrived, panting heavily. He was at a loss when he saw what was happening in front of him.

He had only heard the noise and noticed that the young wizards in the flying class below were not paying attention. He had come down to see what was going on.

He never expected to see Arthur catching Hermione on his broomstick. The scene startled him to the heart.

"I'm fine, Professor. It's just that Hermione needs some rest," Arthur replied, still holding the little girl in his arms, looking very handsome.

"Mr. Gaunt, could you please take Miss Granger to the hospital wing? Also, thank you for your help today. Ravenclaw will receive 20 points. Potter, come with me to my office."

Looking at Hermione, who was no longer crying but sometimes sneeze, Professor McGonagall knew that the young girl was sensitive and decided to let Arthur take her to the hospital wing.

Arthur didn't refuse and didn't ask for Hermione's opinion. He simply lifted her up princess-style and headed to the hospital wing.

In the school's hospital, looking at Hermione, who was still burying her head tightly in his arms, Arthur said helplessly, "Alright, Hermione, it's just you and me here. You can let go of me now."

Hermione didn't react at all.

"If you don't let go soon, my clothes will be all wet."

Finally, the young witch showed some reaction and lifted her head.

There were two blushes on her face and somewhat wet, which could be from crying just now or being suffocated in Arthur's arms. She looked very pitiful.

Seeing the young witch lift her head but remain silent, Arthur could only continue to calm her.

"Well, today was just an accident, everything's over now. Practice more in the future..."

"I never want to ride a broomstick again!" Hermione's response was intense, interrupting Arthur's next words.

Arthur was at a loss, knowing that he couldn't go against her at this time, so he comforted her with some of his words.

Finally, with Arthur's efforts, the young witch fell into a deep sleep.

Today's incident was too much for Hermione, so a good sleep would help her recover.
