Lucius Malfoy's Gift
After entering November, the weather became very cold.
The mountains surrounding the school were shrouded in a gray haze, covered with ice and snow, and the lake surface was as cold and hard as quenched steel.
Every morning, the ground is frosty. From the upstairs window, you can see Hagrid, wrapped in a long mole fur coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, frost-removing his flying broomsticks on the Quidditch Pitch.
It seems the Quidditch Match is about to begin.
During this time, everything that happened in the Headmaster's Office was known only to the parties involved and to Ryan.
At the same time, Ryan also unexpectedly discovered that because of the decrease in the price of consumable Potions —the simple ones—after he cooperated with the wizards of Atlantis, Quirrell no longer had any plans to drink Unicorn Blood.
Good grief, so he was only sucking blood because he didn't have enough Galleons.
Ryan was somewhat helpless; this would ruin Ryan plans. He had originally intended to make a grand entrance when Quirrell prepared to attack the Unicorn, thus sending Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone sooner and causing him to be eliminated earlier.
Fortunately, I can continue to play with my childhood idol Harry Potter to pass the time in the coming school year.
But all of that was lost because of Quirrell, or Voldemort. He had to torment Harry and keep an eye on them to prevent things from going wrong, which was too much trouble.
"Alright, let's just let Harry have some peace and quiet from now on," Ryan thought kindly.
The following days were uneventful, except for one day that caused a bit of a stir: Friday.
That morning, Draco Malfoy went to Ravenclaw's table again, the only difference being what he was carrying: a long, thin object wrapped in brown paper.
"Harry, here, this is a thank-you gift from my father." Malfoy said this and left, making no intention of sitting down and eating together as usual.
"Harry, open it and take a look." Ron said impatiently. After opening it, a long, thin black leather box came into view, with a line of silver words printed on it: Flying Broomstick Repair Toolbox.
"Wow!" Harry whispered, unzipping the box to see what was inside.
Inside was a large jar of Fleetwood's Perfect Flying Broomstick Polish, a pair of Winky silver broom twig cutters, a small brass compass that could be attached to the flying broom for long trips, and a Handbook of Do-It-Yourself Broomcare.
These items weren't very expensive, not so much that Harry would refuse them, but they were comprehensive, something Harry himself hadn't expected.
The news spread quickly. Some said it was Lucius Malfoy's betrothal gift to his future daughter-in-law, while others said it was the Death Eaters trying to assassinate Harry Potter.
However, without Rita Skeeter's help and with the Quidditch season about to begin, this little buzz quickly died down.
After several weeks of training, Harry will participate in his first ever match on Saturday: Ravenclaw Team vs. Hufflepuff Team.
If Ravenclaw Team wins, they will move up to third place in the House Cup.
This made Harry Potter the center of attention again – he was the only first-year student.
As a result, some people told him he would play great, while others told him they would have to hold up a mattress and run after him.
To prevent him from falling— Harry didn't know which was worse.
Meanwhile, during the tactical discussion, Roger Davies, for the first time ever, devised a tactic for Harry. It's worth noting that Seeker Roger.
These tactics are the Sloth Hug Tree Roll and the Wulangong "" shaped flight technique.
The Sloth Hug Tree Roll refers to hanging on a broom, gripping the broom handle tightly with both hands and feet to avoid Bludger.
The "zigzag" flight technique is also a tactic used by Chaser. It is a flight method that involves moving at high speed in a zigzag pattern in order to shake off the opponent's Chaser.
Roger said that the Seeker can also do this to avoid being hit by the opponent's Bludger.
It's worth mentioning that in this tactical discussion, the goalkeeper still hasn't appeared, and Roger as if he doesn't exist.
Ron was quite angry after hearing Harry's explanation. He said that in Gryffindor, his brother didn't need any of these things at all and could just focus on the Golden Snitch.
Anthony agreed, but then suggested that this was probably to compensate for the weakness of their team's bodyguard Beater.
This almost caused Anthony and Ron to get into a fight.
However, Harry cleverly diverted their attention by asking who the goalkeeper was.
Harry Potter is about to participate in a competition, and for some reason, this suddenly connects to the time when Lucius Malfoy gave him a gift.
A new theory has emerged: Harry Potter was able to become the Seeker thanks to the efforts of Lucius Malfoy, the school's School Governor.
However, this incident did not affect Harry. In fact, Ryan also thought Harry Potter was lucky.
Since Ravenclaw Quidditch Team training is mostly indoors, and Harry doesn't usually like going out, he wasn't ever surrounded by people because of this.
Moreover, because of his excellent grades, even Quidditch training did not affect his homework.
Since the Quidditch discussion was still being held in the Ravenclaw Common Room on Saturdays, Harry wouldn't be leaving the common room to kill time.
Furthermore, since going to Atlantis, he has focused more on magic and hasn't been reading Quidditch Through the Ages much anymore, so this symposium makes up for that.
After Roger's speech, Harry learned that there are seven hundred ways to commit a foul in Quidditch Match, and that they all occurred in a Quidditch World Cup match in 1473; the Seeker is usually the smallest and fastest player, and the most serious Quidditch accidents seem to happen to them; although few people die in Quidditch Match, there have been instances where referees disappeared for months before reappearing in the Sahara Desert.
Time flies, and it was the day before Harry's first Quidditch Match.
Harry and Ron took advantage of the break between classes to go outside into the cold courtyard, while Ryan and Hermione stayed in the classroom. To be honest, Ryan didn't understand why they had to go out for some fresh air on such a cold day.
On the other hand, it must be said that Harry's magical skills are now truly outstanding. Just like Hermione in the original book, he used magic to conjure a handful of bright blue flames, like bluebells, which he carried in a jam jar.
They stood there, their backs to the fire for warmth. Just then, Snape walked through the yard.
Ryan smiled slightly, and a gust of wind suddenly blew by under his control, causing Harry to turn around and immediately notice Snape, who was walking with a limp.
At the same time, the gust of wind blew Snape's robes up to his knees, revealing a bloodied, mangled thigh. The wound inflicted by Three-Headed Dog was truly horrific; weeks had passed, and it had now reopened, leaving even Snape temporarily helpless.
In the original timeline, or rather, Ryan initially thought that the wound was not inflicted by the Three-Headed Dog on Halloween, but rather the day before the Gryffindor Quidditch Team vs. Slytherin Team.
But unexpectedly, in the real world, it was the same as in the movie. He was bitten on Halloween, but his robes had already been repaired and the wound had temporarily healed. This is why Harry didn't notice it at the time, and even during Potions Class during that period, Harry didn't notice any signs of injury on Snape.
However, during this encounter, Harry Potter noticed the mark on Snape's thigh. If Ryan guides him slightly, will he be able to divert Harry Potter's attention to the fourth floor? I really want to know.
