Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

"It's time for team training now. I ask you to leave."

Wood was breathing heavily and looked like an enraged bull.

"So what's the reason? What reason do you use to ask me to leave?"

Qiu Zhang looked at Wood riding on the broom leisurely, looking like an experienced bullfighter.

"As Captain of Gryffindor Quidditch, I demand that you leave."

"Then as Harry's girlfriend, I reject your request."

Looking at Qiu Zhang with a smile on his face, Wood's face turned red as if he had passed out in the bar and woke up from the toilet the next day.

"Hurry up and train. We have other things to do after you finish training."

Hearing Qiu Zhang's words, Wood took a deep breath, then turned his head and shouted loudly, "Harry! Harry! Come here now!"

When Wood flew over to find Qiu Zhang, Harry's heart was in his throat.

Hearing Wood calling him, Harry flew over quickly.

Before flying to the stands, Harry had already thought about how he should persuade Wood not to continue arguing with Qiu Zhang.

But Harry, who had flown to the stands, didn't have time to speak.

Wood glared at Harry and told him to get off the broom.

"Are you going to kick me off the team?"

After Harry jumped off his broom, he looked at Wood in surprise.

"What were you thinking?! You'll always be on the team!"

Wood glared at Harry hatefully, reached out and snatched the broom from Harry's hand, and then handed the broom to Qiu Zhang.

"You and me! One on one! If you win I will end today's training, and if you lose you will not be here when we train."

Looking at the angry Wood, Qiu Zhang showed a bright smile on his face.

"Okay."

Five minutes later, Harry and the other players looked at Wood with concern as they left the Quidditch pitch.

Although Wood repeatedly stated that he was fine, Wood, who lost the match against Qiu Zhang 3:0, stood in front of the goal with a broom after landing, looking like he was thinking about how to hang himself on the goal.

But Harry soon stopped worrying about Wood hanging himself in the goal.

Because the Weasley twins, who had the same concerns as Harry, cast a Joyous Charm on Wood.

The spell was effective.

Wood was no longer standing in front of the goal, looking like an emo who wanted to hang himself, but was chasing the Weasley twins around the field with a broom.

Judging from the way Wood holds the broom, even if Wood doesn't play Quidditch in the future, he will still be a good mercenary with a greatsword.

"I thought you were going to ride on your broom like you did before, on your sword."

After leaving the court, Harry said to Qiu Zhang, who was smiling and it was obvious that she was very happy.

"Idiot~ Why do you think so?"

"Because last time..."

Cho Chang tapped Harry on the head.

"That's a sword. If I don't step on it, what position do you want me to use?"

Hearing Qiu Zhang say this, Harry felt that it seemed to make some sense.

So on the way back to the castle, Harry and Qiu Zhang began to discuss what kind of transportation they should use to fly in the sky.

Then the two of them turned around in front of the castle gate and walked towards the forbidden forest.

During the discussion, Harry discovered that Qiu Zhang, like himself, did not like means of transportation such as flying brooms or flying swords.

However, his prejudice against flying broomsticks is different from that of Harry because the first broom he touched was an old broom in the school that had been in disrepair for so long that even the buffering charm was ineffective.

Qiu Zhang simply didn't like flying swords because it required standing for long periods of time, which was very tiring.

In the past, Qiu Zhang would enlarge his gourd filled with wine and fly on it.

However, due to some reasons, Qiu Zhang failed to make the gourd that could grow or shrink at will, so he had to hold his nose and make do with a broom.

At this point, the two naturally began to talk about what other creatures could be used as mounts besides props.

Like Draco, Qiu Zhang could also see the skinny black horses with wings.

However, unlike Draco, Qiu Zhang didn't like this creature that was tainted with the aura of death.

So when Harry mentioned that there were actually some hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest, Qiu Zhang immediately became interested in seeing these magical creatures.

Of course Harry, who had become familiar with the Hippogriffs last year, would not refuse.

After all, Draco has been reminding Harry since last week that Valentine's Day is next week. If you don't want any accidents to happen, it's best to arrange the Valentine's Day gifts and itinerary in advance.

After Draco's reminder, I was still a little hesitant.

But Harry still prepared a Valentine's Day gift, and at the suggestion of the Weasley twins, he planned to go through the secret passage in the evening to have dinner with Qiu Zhang in Madam Puddifoot's Tea House in Hogsmeade, "the best place for happy couples".

However, this week, Wood suddenly announced, "There is no Valentine's Day for Quidditch players. Quidditch players only have victory day and defeat day!" and asked the team to train as usual.

Harry had already expected that Wood would go crazy.

It was Wood, after all.

So Harry made a plan in advance. Since Quidditch training delayed his trip to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, he would wait until dark and go to the Astronomy Tower with Qiu Zhang.

Although he was short of money, Harry still managed to get a batch of magical fireworks with some special skills.

And last night, the fireworks were hidden on the top of the astronomical tower.

As a result, Wood did call the team together for training, but halfway through the training, Wood broke down and let the players go celebrate Valentine's Day.

This was caught perfectly between Harry's two plans.

At 6pm, there was no room for Mrs Puddifoot's Tea Shop.

But it’s a little too early to set off fireworks at this time, as it’s not even completely dark yet.

So when Qiu Zhang said that he wanted to go and see those hippogriffs, Harry felt a little bit saved.

However, it seemed that Harry got up in the wrong posture today, and everything was out of Harry's control.

Just as Harry approached the Forbidden Forest and was about to whistle to call out the Hippogriff.

Hagrid's voice suddenly rang out in the Forbidden Forest.

"Harry! Is that you?!"

Then Hagrid appeared in front of Harry with the big hammer on his shoulder that Harry never wanted to see again in his life.

"Harry! It's great that you're here now!"

It seemed that it was at this time that Hagrid realized that the person standing next to Harry was not Draco, but a girl he had never seen before.

"Harry, what is this?"

"This is Qiu Zhang..."

Before Harry could finish, Hagrid patted Harry on the shoulder and said to Qiu Zhang.

"Hello Qiu Zhang, nice to meet you, but I have something urgent to do right now, so I'll borrow Harry first."

As he said this, he was about to drag Harry into the Forbidden Forest.

"What's wrong, Hagrid? No matter what happened, let me go first!"

Although he was completely unable to resist Hagrid's brute strength, Harry still struggled and protested to Hagrid.

At the same time, Qiu Zhang also came up and stopped Hagrid.

"Whatever you have, free Harry first, and then tell us what happened."

Looking at Qiu Zhang who was standing in front of him and Harry who was struggling as he was dragging him, Hagrid let go of his hand.

"Sorry, I was too impatient."

Although there was a hint of embarrassment on Hagrid's face, his expression was still serious.

"But there is a unicorn that has been attacked in the Forbidden Forest. It is in a very bad condition. We must find it as soon as possible."

Having said this, Hagrid squeezed the hammer in his hand.

"Normally, no creatures in the Forbidden Forest would attack unicorns. Even the giant eight-eyed spiders would not attack them. Only the darkest creatures would attack these unicorns. I'm afraid something extraordinary has come to the Forbidden Forest. We must find them as soon as possible, no matter whether it is the attacker or the unicorn."

Harry frowned at what Hagrid said.

"You mean, only those dark creatures will attack unicorns?"

"Yes, the fur, horn and blood of a unicorn all have strong magical effects. Even the blood of a unicorn can prolong your life, even if you are dying. But you must pay a heavy price for it. In order to save your own life, you slaughtered a pure, weak and helpless life. So from the moment its blood touches your lips, you will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."

Hagrid looked at the Forbidden Forest behind him with a serious expression.

"Something's coming."

Looking at Hagrid's serious expression, Harry raised his wand.

"Hagrid, wait a moment."

Then Harry waved his wand and said, "Here comes the armed box!"

Soon a brown box flew in front of Harry from the Gryffindor Tower.

When the brown box landed in front of Harry, Harry looked at Qiu Zhang with some apology.

"Qiu Zhang, I'm sorry, but you may have to go back to the castle first..."

As soon as Harry opened his mouth, Qiu Zhang stretched out his index finger and pressed it on Harry's lips.

"No need to say more, I understand, and I've told you that you must ask me to join you in this kind of thing in the future."

After saying that, Qiu Zhang waved his hand, and soon a black and white sword flew from the Hogwarts Castle to Qiu Zhang's side.

Like an obedient pet, it floated beside Qiu Zhang.

Looking at Qiu Zhang, who had a smile on his face but his eyes were full of determination.

Harry sighed and opened his weapons box.
