Chapter 438 Time After the Game

"Who can hold the golden egg?"

The warriors who walked out of the tent had to face reality - there were four of them, but only one golden egg as a trophy.

This is obviously not the time to be humble. One of the four warriors present counts as one, and no one is willing to surrender.

Montague is the current captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. He is usually a bit domineering. It was fine when everyone was working towards the same goal, but now...

Cedric is the top student in the sixth grade. Although he is kind to his classmates, almost all the professors feel that he is too paranoid on the things he believes in. There is no conflict between the two. Even if he has different opinions, he will not force you to accept them. He tells you tactfully and in various forms that your conclusion is wrong and he is the correct one.

Harry has only been able to rely on himself since he was a child. It is difficult for outsiders to change the decisions he makes, even if the other party is a professor or principal, unless the facts prove that he is wrong.

As for Nancy, the first in seventh grade and a proud Ravenclaw, a large number of Ravenclaw students, after years of confrontation with door knockers, will only admire people who are wiser than themselves, instead of blindly following authority—— Although she was usually easy to get along with, it was about the honor of the college and she couldn't give up at this time.

Besides, Jin Dan was a decryption challenge, so she wouldn't feel at ease if it was left to the students of the other three colleges.

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Nancy picked up the golden egg and said, "Keep it with me first. I will apply for an empty classroom from the dean to study the golden egg. I’ll take it with me during a class and we’ll take turns keeping it until after dark.”

"Take turns keeping it?"

Montague was a little unconvinced.

"I'm first, Cedric is second, Montague you are third, and Harry is fourth - I'm in seventh grade in terms of grade, and Cedric is better than you in terms of grades, so what's the objection?"

It was an unspoken rule in each college that the lower grades should not provoke the upper grades, and Cedric's grades were indeed ahead of Montague's.

He curled his lips, but ultimately made no comment - as long as he was ahead of Gryffindor, it made sense.

"I don't--"

Just as Harry was about to raise objections, he was stopped by Nancy's light words, "It is tradition for the lower grades to give way to the upper grades, Potter, unless you don't plan to wait for anyone at the door of the Ravenclaw lounge in the future..."

Under the threatening eyes of the seventh-year Ravenclaw prefects, Harry finally chose to give in.

——

"Congratulations, man!"

When Harry left the venue, he was hugged by the enthusiastic Ron. He glanced at Ron guiltily, but his eyes couldn't help but wander around.

To be honest, after being threatened by the Ravenclaw prefect, he desperately wanted to find someone to talk to about the coercion he had suffered, but he did not want that person to talk to Ron.

But Ron did not cooperate at all to feel his mood. Instead, he happily told him about the horror of the fire dragon and the Gryffindors' speculation that the fire dragon would suddenly lose control and take a bite of it towards the audience.

"By the way, Harry, here's the golden egg! Take it out quickly, we want to see it too!"

Fred and George came closer, with a hint of adventure in their eyes.

"The golden eggs take turns to be guarded. Today they are on the Ravenclaw side."

Harry rarely panicked, but everyone had no objections - Ravenclaw was really good at deciphering puzzles, and many children who were keen on exploring every corner of the castle had been beaten with puzzles at the door knocker.

Fortunately, they can sneak back to their common room if they can't answer, but Ravenclaw's own students...

Only Hermione's eyes looked a little regretful, but she quickly came up with an idea and disappeared after congratulating Harry.

Although Harry was a little curious about where she went, he couldn't get rid of his enthusiastic classmates. Everyone was very curious about Harry's mood when facing the giant hornet, and they were also very interested in how the warriors made decisions. , which made it impossible for him to get away.

Fred and George got some hard-drawn fireworks from nowhere and made the Gryffindor team lively.

Even Filch, the administrator who usually likes to come out to cause trouble, did not come out to arrest these students who seriously violated the rules tonight, which made everyone have more fun, and they had a rare good word for Filch.

Just when Harry was worried, he suddenly felt the people around him disperse and wink at him.

"Harry, can you come out for a moment?"

When Qiu's voice sounded, Harry's originally worried heart finally relaxed, but then began to beat rapidly again.

However, George and Fred already showed their tacit understanding of playing Quidditch together and helped him start to drive away the crowd.

Harry glanced at them gratefully, and then quickly left with Qiu amidst good-natured laughter.

——

"I just saw Granger."

To Harry's expectation, Qiu actually took the initiative to mention Hermione.

"She went to our college. Judging from the direction she walked, it seemed that she was going to our lounge. Strange, what was she doing in our lounge?"

Qiu's words puzzled Harry. What was Hermione doing in Ravenclaw?

Could it be - yes, the golden egg, the golden egg is with Ravenclaw today.

Just when he was about to share this conclusion with Qiu, he remembered Hermione's advice to him - 'If she mentions me again, you can complain about how strange, annoying and eccentric I am. You can even say Tell me how ugly you think I am. ’

Although Harry was very reluctant to speak ill of his friends in front of others, not even Qiu, he still decided to take a step back.

"I don't care about Hermione at all right now, I just want to be with you, all day long."

The smile on Qiu's face softened a bit. She took the initiative to hold Harry's hand, and the two of them wandered on the path outside the castle.

——

‘This is the Ravenclaw common room? ’

Hermione walked through the small circles one after another, and she felt a little incredible about her behavior.

Just because I wanted to take a look at the golden egg, I tried to visit the Ravenclaw common room.

'I must be crazy. ’

She thought that she had heard a few Ravenclaw girls with whom she had a relatively good relationship talking about their lounge - she was quite popular with some Ravenclaw students because of her grades.

"Hermione? What are you doing here with us?"

Several students who were stuck in front of the door were worrying about the door knocker when they suddenly saw her spiraling up the stairs.

"Never mind that, come and help!"

She was pulled to the door, and the beak of the knocker immediately opened, but instead of making a bird call, she said in a gentle, musical voice:

"After making a promise, I apologized for breaking the promise, only to find out that the thing was done unintentionally. Is it a breach of promise?"

ps: That's it for today...it's a little lame...
