Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 24 Quidditch Match

The weather was sunny and cold. The restaurant was filled with the enticing smell of grilled sausages, and everyone was chatting happily because an exciting Quidditch match was about to begin, between Gryffindor House and Slytherin House.

Harry is the focus of this competition. Everyone is paying attention to what kind of wonderful performance this unusually selected Seeker can bring to everyone. This makes Harry very nervous and barely eats a few bites of breakfast. Although Nydia and Hermione tried various methods to persuade him, but he refused on the grounds that he was not hungry. Nydia just hoped that he wouldn't be so hungry that he couldn't hold on to the broomstick after playing. After all, the length of a Quidditch match was uncontrollable.

The game time is eleven o'clock, and basically all the teachers and students of the school have come to the Quidditch pitch. Although the stands are raised into the sky, it is still difficult to see the full picture of the field. Fortunately, Michelle reminded Nettie in advance. Ya brought binoculars, otherwise Nidia might have been able to distinguish the two teams only by the color of the players' clothes during the whole game, and would not be able to tell who was who.

The game started, and bursts of cheers erupted from the scene. Nydia was also very excited. This was her first time watching a Quidditch match live. The competition was fierce. Nydia found that there were several Gryffindor players. The players are all girls, and Nidia is envious of their outstanding performance on the field, but her broomstick skills are so poor that so far she has only been able to maintain a smooth lift into the air.

Hagrid joined their camp shortly after the game started because he thought it would be more exciting to watch it live. The Seeker was on standby until the Snitch showed up, so Harry was always idle.

"I don't know what Harry wants to do," Hagrid muttered. "If I didn't know him so well, I'd think he couldn't control his broom, but there's no way he..."

Everyone in the stands pointed upward at Harry. His broomstick began to roll and roll, and Harry could barely hold on without falling. After a wild twist of the broom, Harry was thrown off. He grabbed the broomstick with only one hand and hung on the broomstick. in the air.

Harry's strange situation aroused everyone's discussion. Seamus speculated that the broom was malfunctioning, but this possibility was denied by Hagrid.

"It's Snape, look." Hermione pointed to the stands opposite. "He's causing trouble, hexing the broomstick."

Nydia also pointed the telescope in the direction pointed by Hermione. Snape was staring at Harry closely, muttering silently. Nydia then turned her telescope to the crowd around Snape, and sure enough, she found it. It was Quirrell. Like Snape, he was staring at Harry closely and mumbling something.

Nydia wanted to remind Hermione to pay attention to Quirrell, but it was too late. At this time, Hermione had already started running in the direction of Snape. Fortunately, Hermione knocked Quirrell unknowingly because she was walking in a hurry, forcing him to stop the spell. Nydia immediately moved the camera to Harry and noticed the shaking of the broom. has stopped.

Snape stopped reciting the curse because Hermione was causing trouble, but this was no longer important, because Nydia had confirmed that the shaking of Harry's broom had stopped when Quirrell stopped reciting the curse.

Nydia wanted to tell Ron next to her about this situation, but before she could say anything, Harry had caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game. The crowd at the scene started cheering, except for Slytherin House.

"Let's go find Harry and tell him what happened just now." Ron said to Nydia.

"No, I have other things to do." Nidia noticed that Quirrell was about to leave in the stands opposite, and she wanted to catch up to see what was going on. "I'll see you back in the common room. I have something to tell you."

After speaking, Nidia hurriedly chased in the direction Quirrell left. She didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of being discovered by Quirrell.

Quirrell walked very hurriedly, looking a little flustered, as if he was worried about being scolded by someone, and kept mumbling words. He trotted towards the Forbidden Forest, and finally entered the Forbidden Forest. Nidia didn't dare to follow him anymore. The danger in the forbidden forest was not something she could fight against now. She had to stop here.

"I think it was because Harry accidentally discovered his wound, so he wanted to kill Harry to silence him," Ron said.

Nydia returned to the common room and waited for a while before the three Harrys came back. They first told Nydia the information they learned from Hagrid.

"I think I have to tell you something." Nydia thought for a long time and decided that it was necessary to let Harry know, because Quirrell's target now turned to Harry, although she didn't understand the reason. She told them everything she found in the stands from Halloween night to today.

"Quirrell? This is impossible, he looks so submissive, how dare he!" Ron couldn't believe that Quirrell did all this, he preferred to believe that it was the vicious Snape.

"I can't connect all this with Quirrell, although I can't believe that Snape would do such a thing." Hermione said, "Are you sure you saw him reciting a spell in the stands today?"

"I'm sure, and I'm sure Harry's broom stopped shaking when he stopped chanting the spell." Nydia said with certainty. "After the game, he went to the Forbidden Forest alone. I couldn't follow him, but from the look on his face, he seemed to be punished for his failure in action."

"Could it be that Snape forced him to do this, and they also conspired on Halloween." It seemed that this thought was more acceptable to Ron.

"I'm not sure about this. I have doubts. I have tested Snape's attitude. I don't think they are accomplices," Nidia said.

"If it's just Quirrell, what reason does he have to harm Harry?" Hermione asked her own question, which is what Nydia is wondering now.

"I just remembered something." Harry thought for a long time and finally spoke. "On the day Gringotts was robbed, I met Quirrell in Diagon Alley."

"I don't believe that Quirrell could sneak into Gringotts with his ability. He must be working with Snape," Ron said.

"Now we at least know that the thing they want to steal is related to a person named Nicoléme. Finding out who he is may help us understand the truth." Harry said.

"No matter what, Harry, I think you need to be careful with Quirrell and Snape during this period." Hermione said, although she still didn't want to believe that teachers in the school would harm their students.

Nydia felt that the name Nicoléme was familiar, but she couldn't remember it. She must have read it in some book when she was at Field Manor. She thought maybe she could go back during the Christmas vacation and check it out.
