A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 472 The Little Lion Caught in the Foot Massage Parlor

The Easter holiday is finally over.

But this holiday was not easy; all the students' homework piled up like a small mountain.

The professors seemed to have conspired to use a "sea of questions" approach to keep everyone confined to the library, preventing them from taking time off to do other bad things.

Even Li's Reference Answer Studio was working overtime, making him so anxious that his face turned dark.

It used to be dark... but it was shiny black. Now it's as black as charcoal and doesn't shine.

These are the two models: glossy and matte.

As you can imagine, the workload was terrifying.

This is like having a long holiday, but the boss forces you to work overtime without paying overtime.

The students are weighed down by three mountains: Snape, McGonagall, and Flitwick!

Faced with these three people, everyone could only mutter under their breath: Damn magicism!

Despite the scolding, William certainly wouldn't retaliate; he might even enjoy it. After all, all the teachers had exempted him from homework, including Snape, with whom he had a business partnership.

He is a typical beneficiary of vested interests.

However, William couldn't let his stance be biased, so he secretly wrote down some reference answers and sent them to Li's studio.

Making money or not doesn't matter; the key is interest.

With the end of Easter, the dull atmosphere at school finally came alive.

Hogwarts is about to hold the Quidditch final of this school year.

It's this weekend, Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor!

Last year, the Quidditch match was cancelled for a whole year due to the locked-room attack.

This year's final has become the most anticipated focus for everyone.

Gryffindor was the most nervous; if they didn't win this time, they would go eight years without a title.

Eight consecutive years... How many eight-year periods does a student have?

The previous Gryffindor students never saw what the Quidditch Cup looked like, from enrollment to graduation!

Could it get any worse?

In the words of Nick, who was almost headless: "This is an unimaginable disgrace!"

In his time, the team members would have been hanged!

Professor McGonagall also repeatedly pressured Wood, reminding him from various angles:

If she hadn't won the championship, she would never have been able to hold her head high in front of Professor Flitwick for the rest of her life.

McGonagall's pressure and everyone's expectations made the Gryffindor Quidditch team feel extremely nervous.

They are family members and they know their own affairs.

Wood is about to graduate, and without this captain and goalkeeper, this pillar of strength, the team's strength will decline significantly.

And then they'll get another unreliable goalkeeper...

This may be their last chance, and their best chance to win the championship in recent years!

Of course, they are also full of confidence.

Because they narrowly defeated Hufflepuff in the last match.

Although Ravenclaw is very strong, and William is an even more formidable opponent, they haven't played a match in a long time and are a bit rusty.

And Gryffindor is on fire!

Slaying gods and destroying the Dao, defying the heavens... Now is the time!

We, the players, have nothing to fear in this battle!

The slogans were shouted loudly, and both sides remained relatively restrained, preventing a large-scale conflict, but relations reached an all-time low.

Ravenclaw temporarily replaced Slytherin as their most hated house.

Every time William appeared in the Gryffindor common room, the lion cubs would swarm around him and Hermione, deliberately disturbing him and trying to affect his state of mind.

In this atmosphere, an unexpected incident finally occurred.

This is normal.

If a Quidditch match doesn't have some kind of unexpected incident, that would be considered an accident. It's just like the Halloween curse—something always seems to happen!

This unexpected incident was a bit embarrassing. Yes, very embarrassing!

The Gryffindor players went to a goblin foot massage parlor to relax on the eve of the match, and were then captured by the Aurors.

The arrested team members:

It was none other than the famous Potter and Wood, the Gryffindor Quidditch captain.

It is said that when the Aurors stormed in, they were selecting goblins.

Ron was also arrested at the same time.

Compared to the previous two, almost no one paid attention to him; he was just a nobody, the kind that could be ignored.

The one who made the arrest was Tonks, who was known as the Auror "Proud Flower".

She'd been eyeing the foot massage parlor for days.

Originally intending to arrest William, she even went so far as to invite him on a date as part of a sting operation.

Unfortunately, William completely ignored Tonks.

He even wrote her an extremely tactful letter, telling her to give up on the idea and stop pestering him!

Tonks wanted nothing more than to rush into Hogwarts and stab him to death with her wand. But that was just a thought; after all, William's "salary" guaranteed her quality of life.

You can't afford to mess with Galon.

So Harry and his friends were in trouble.

Harry's arrest had an extremely negative impact.

Whether a foot massage parlor is legitimate or not isn't the key point... well, that's also important.

But what's even more serious is that he went to Hogsmeade secretly.

In Professor Snape's words:

"From the Minister of Magic down, everyone has been working hard to protect the famous Harry Potter from Sirius Black."

But the famous Harry Potter himself is the law!

Let ordinary people worry about his safety. The famous Harry Potter goes wherever he wants without considering the consequences.

These words were said in front of Professor McGonagall. She was so angry that she was trembling all over, and despite the hot weather, she was covered in cold sweat and her hands and feet were ice-cold.

Even worse is:

Harry not only sneaked into Hogsmeade, but also attacked Malfoy with mud while wearing the Invisibility Cloak. Malfoy reported him.

Professor McGonagall immediately deducted 200 points from Harry, and 50 points each from Wood and Ron.

According to the current college points rankings:

Gryffindor has already scored -700 points.

This is more than the combined House points of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff!

This may be a new record that can never be surpassed.

If it weren't for the competition the next day, the lion cubs would probably have devoured the three of them alive!

The Gryffindor Quidditch tournament must be won, otherwise this semester will become a complete joke.

Harry and Wood still have a chance to reverse public opinion. Ron, however, won't be so lucky.

Professor McGonagall was furious with him and forbade him from ever going to Hogsmeade again, and even put him in solitary confinement.

Mrs. Weasley also sent Ron several angry letters, saying that he had disgraced the Weasley family.

They even dared to take Harry to Hogsmeade, putting him in mortal danger. When they got home, they broke both of Ron's legs!

That's true; he was indeed the one who encouraged Harry to go.

Hermione had warned the two of them not to go to Hogsmeade through the secret passage again.

But Ron gave her the power to report it, and if Harry got expelled, it would be her responsibility!

Hermione ignored Ron completely. Sirius was safe, but Ron didn't know that!

From his perspective, Black was hunting Harry down and had even infiltrated the school.

In such a dangerous situation, he actually encouraged Harry to go to Hogsmeade. What if they ran into Peter?

Even if you get caught, it's not a loss!

And so... they were indeed arrested.

On the eve of the match, all daily activities in the Ravenclaw common room were suspended.

Marcos and Bradley spoke much louder than usual to relieve stress.

In a corner, Cho was discussing with Cedric how to deal with Harry's Firebolt.

After all, she was only riding a Nimbus 2000, which was several levels below!

William was checking his fire bolts to prevent any problems.

At this moment, Penelope, the senior student, came over. She admired the fire bolt for a while without saying a word.

William, unable to bear her stare any longer, was about to give a professional explanation of the fire crossbow bolts when she suddenly leaned closer and whispered:

"William, I have a question for you... Tell me the truth, do you think you can win?!"

William raised an eyebrow; he sensed a gambling addict.

"I made a bet with Percy," Penelope whispered.

"William, you absolutely have to win! I don't have thirty Galleons."

"..."

So you're trying to get something for nothing.

Wait a minute... it's like Percy has thirty Galleons.

You two are trying to trick each other out of our freedom!

Tsk tsk, these days, there are gamblers everywhere.

It's gotten to the point where he's even considering... throwing the game!
