Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

? Climb, climb, climb again!

Hermione and Luna were shoulder to shoulder, the two were almost next to each other, both sprinting straight up at a rapid speed.Their hands leaned forward at almost the same time, and the fingertips of their middle fingers were only a few inches away from the golden snitch.

There is no doubt that this is a close matchup between Seekers and the most thrilling scene of the season.

Unfortunately, both of them rushed too high with the Snitch.Under the bright sunshine, the teachers and students in the stands below couldn't even see their shrinking backs, let alone the situation of the snitches who were being blocked by them at the moment.

However, at the moment when both of them were likely to catch the Golden Snitch and become the finisher of this game, an accident happened!

Just under the eyes of everyone, one of the two figures that climbed almost perpendicular to the ground suddenly fell behind.

Do not!That seems to be more than just being behind, she seems to be...

"It's stalled! She's stalled!"

The narrator exclaimed loudly.

Yes, the stall situation of the broomstick is actually rarely encountered in normal flight, but the possibility has not completely disappeared with repeated improvements.

If a broom flies at the highest speed it can reach for too long, it will over-run some of the spells fixed in it, and there is a certain chance that the magic structure inside the broom will change.

Of course, with generations of flying broom craftsmen perfecting the design of the broom, the probability of this happening has dropped to a fairly low level.

At least in the Quidditch field for more than ten years, everyone has hardly seen such a stall accident.

"That's... Luna?"

Maca looked up at the blue sky. He could see that the figure that was falling down was obviously Luna with long pale blonde hair.

Even for this game, she hastily tied her hair up, but still floating around her under the strong wind blowing high in the sky.

In the moment she fell down holding the broom, the dazzling sunlight illuminated her scattered blonde hair.

Although Maca was a little surprised at the beginning of Luna's stalling and falling, she was not too anxious.After all, even if someone falls from a higher place, he can guarantee to catch the other person safe and sound.

You know, soon, Maca may become the first man in the world to hard-wire a meteorite!

However, just when he quickly took out the staff, ready to cast a floating spell on Luna.He suddenly put down the staff he had just raised, and gently squeezed it on the floor of the stand.

Then he raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile:

"Oh! She doesn't seem to need my help anymore."

...

"Luna!"

In fact, just a few seconds after Luna's broomstick stalled, Hermione, who was sprinting side by side with her, already found that there was no one around her.

It's just that the speed of the two was too fast!

Even if Hermione found out it was not too late, when she looked back subconsciously, she saw that there was already a long distance between herself and Luna.

Suddenly, Hermione just habitually glanced at the golden thief above, then resolutely turned the broomstick and dived away.

She read about the stall problem of the broomstick in the book "Quidditch Traceability". This situation was not uncommon in the game more than a decade ago, so there were always a few safety guards on the sidelines at the time. .

And once the stall failure of the flying broom occurs, it will definitely be impossible to recover in a short time.If she doesn't save Luna, she can only wait for the professor in the stands or Maca to rescue her.

To be honest, just because Maca was watching the game in the stands today, Hermione was actually quite relieved.

After she discovered that Luna was in a stall, she thought of Maca for an instant, and... she believed that Maca would be safer to save Luna than she would go back and save.

However, even if this is the case, can she not help Luna?

The answer is obviously no.

As this lightning-like thought suddenly flowed through Hermione's mind, her body moved faster than her mind.In a blink of an eye, she had already turned back and dived to Luna's side.

"Wow—hahahahahaha—"

Hermione didn't understand why Luna was laughing, and she even laughed so magically.Seeing her holding the broom in one hand, stretching her limbs, she laughed and fell down.

From the looks of it, she still seems to think that free fall from high altitude is a very happy thing!

"Luna! Don't laugh!"

Hearing the inexplicable happy laughter, Hermione couldn't help feeling a little helpless on her face—she suddenly felt that she didn't want to save her again.

Oh, OK!She just thought about that.

"Grab my hand—sit behind me—"

Hermione yelled loudly in the drooping wind, and reached for Luna's arm.After seeing her come down to pick herself up, Luna didn't continue to laugh anymore, and she honestly stretched out her hand.

After several waves of empty hands, the two hands were finally held together tightly.

"Come on!"

When Hermione was dragging hard, she controlled the broomstick under her body to spin abruptly, allowing Luna to sit firmly on the broomstick behind her.

Immediately, the flying broomstick, which turned horizontally in order to pick up Luna, suddenly sank because it suddenly carried two people, and then it stabilized again.

"Pause-the game is suspended!"

In the arena below, Mrs. Hooch yelled to interrupt the game with a sound reinforcement spell, which could still be faintly heard even at such a high place.

So, Hermione carried Luna, hovering slightly in mid-air and calmed down.Then, she pressed down the broomstick again and gradually descended to the field.

During this landing, Luna held Hermione's waist with an excited smile and said loudly:

"Hermione! The wind was so big when I fell just now! It was like holding me flying-that feels great! I think you should try it too!"

"I don't want to fall into meatloaf!" Hermione Dangyi replied loudly.

But Luna didn't seem to get out of the pleasure of falling, and immediately said again:

"It's okay! I will follow you then! You can try it in a while!"

After the two of them rode a broom and landed on the ground, the members of the two teams who had already returned to the ground hurriedly surrounded them.

At this time, many people, including Professor Maca and McGonagall, gathered around the court.

"Are you not hurt? Is there any pain?"

Ginny and Qiu respectively stepped forward to support Hermione and Luna, and checked them up and down. Even though they said nothing, they still insisted on letting them go after the inspection.

"I'm really fine! I think Luna should be fine too-when I caught her, neither of us bumped into any place." Hermione waved her hands again and again, "Well... So, Mrs. Hooch Did you interrupt the game? Luna, go and change the broom, let's continue!"

But soon, Luna, who was receiving Qiu’s care, stretched out her hand and said with extra seriousness:

"If you didn't choose to come down to save me, you must have caught the snitch now! I don't think it's necessary to compare, I lost—"

Regarding Luna's two sentences, no one in the room said a word.Including the captain of the Ravenclaw team, Qiu Zhang, and all the players behind her, did not say anything.

On the Gryffindor team, Ginny and others did not open their mouths, but it seemed that they were not suitable for expressing their opinions from their standpoint.

But at this moment, Hermione also said solemnly:

"No! You can't say that-you lost your ability to compete because the broom stalled. If there hadn't been this accident, who could catch the Snitch first?"

Having said that, she paused for a while, but then turned to:

"What's more, if you follow the rules of Quidditch competitions, the broom stall is a malfunction of the competition equipment. According to Article 52, Section 3 of the Quidditch Competition Regulations, the scores after equipment failure are all cleared. Even if the game is over, we still have to arrange overtime!"

"Oh, is that right?"

Luna was stunned by Hermione's words. After listening, she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Hooch not far away in doubt.

"Well, Miss Granger is right." Madam Hooch nodded, but then said again, "However, this is only a rule of the Quidditch World Cup. Many regional matches are also unclear. Directly Continue to change the rules of the schedule."

Although Hermione was familiar with a lot of books, she basically hadn't paid special attention to Quidditch events before this year, let alone the rules of small regional competitions.

After hearing Madam Hooch's words, she couldn't help but nodded clearly.

"At least, there must be no way to directly send points!" Hermione deliberately reiterated to Luna.

Luna heard the words, tilted her head and groaned awkwardly for a moment, then turned her head and said:

"I just can't compare anyway!"

Having said that, she gently pulled Laqiu's hand, then turned around and dived into the crowd.After everyone was stunned, she dashed around the crowd like a small fish, and finally hid behind Maca.

"Hey! Even if you are thanking Hermione, she definitely won't agree?" Maca looked back at her, laughing and crying, "Don't hide, she is already next to you!"

"what?"

Luna turned her head suddenly and looked at Hermione who appeared next to her in surprise and said:

"When I was young, my mother always said that I was good at hide-and-seek. Why did you find me so quickly?"

She said that, before she waited for Hermione to reply, she pulled Maca by the arm again and shoved him to Hermione's front.

"He is yours tonight!"

"what?"

Maca was dumbfounded.
