Chapter 387 Backflip
As the only casualty in the dementor attack, Harry had to stay in the school hospital throughout the weekend.
There was an endless stream of people coming to see him, all intent on making him happy, but it was hard for Harry to laugh.
His broom broke and was broken in two.
Yes, if you fall from a height of fifty feet, it will definitely break.
Harry had already thought of this when he woke up, but after seeing the fragments of the broom, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Although Wood told him that it could be repaired, he could just go to Diagon Alley and spend some gold to make it like new.
But now he couldn't go to Diagon Alley at all...he couldn't even go to Hogsmeade.
In addition, there was another thing that concerned Harry.
In the first divination class, Professor Trelawney saw something ominous in the results of his divination, which was the shape of a black dog.
And during the game, there happened to be such a black dog in the stands... and then he fell fifty feet.
It's just that Harry didn't mention it to anyone, not to Ron or Hermione, because he knew Ron would panic and Hermione would sneer. He knew these two friends too well.
He wanted to get real, pertinent advice, because the black dog had appeared twice, and every time it appeared, it was accompanied by fatal danger.
The last time he appeared was before school started, when he was almost hit by the Knight Bus, and this time he fell off his broomstick again.
Shouldn't he be wary of this beast in the future?
And the dementors...
Harry sat silently on the hospital bed, listening absentmindedly to Hermione telling him interesting things that happened at school.
Kyle's Dragonscale Badge is in high demand again.
"I don't think it works, but most people say it works."
Hermione fiddled with the badge on her chest, "Dean Thomas said he didn't feel the Dementors at all, but in fact, he almost cried before those Patronuses appeared.
I was right next to it and saw it clearly. "
"But how do you explain Neville's situation."
Ron was dissatisfied: "He wore two, and his condition was countless times better than when he was on the train. He even came to visit Harry."
"It may be that he is already familiar with the influence of dementors." Hermione said, "It has nothing to do with whether he wears a badge or not."
Ron obviously didn't think so, and said seriously: "Everyone knows that there is no familiar way of saying this kind of thing, and it will only become more and more scary."
Listening to their conversation, Harry suddenly thought whether Kyle could give him some advice about the elusive black dog.
By the way, he also wanted to ask about the way to deal with Dementors...that is, the Patronus Charm. He remembered what Professor McGonagall said before.
…
The opportunity came quickly.
When he returned to school on Monday, Harry happened to see Kyle and Cedric walking towards the Great Hall.
He quickly stepped forward and took this opportunity to ask his doubts.
"Black dog?"
"Yes," Harry said, "I saw it in the stands before and then fell fifty feet, and I was wondering if there was any solution.
You may not know that I also saw it when I was on Magnolia Crescent... If it were an ordinary dog, there would be no way it could be chased from Privet Drive to Hogwarts, right? "
"Well..."
Cedric thought for a moment, "Is it possible that you made a mistake? After all, as long as the breed, size and coat color are similar, it is difficult for us to tell whether they are the same dog."
"this……"
Harry hesitated for a moment. It was very dark at the time. He only took a quick glance and was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Knight Bus. There was indeed a possibility of admitting his mistake.
But isn't this a bit too coincidental.
"I don't know the situation at Privet Drive,"
At this time, Kyle suddenly said: "But the one you found in the stands should be a good dog... Isn't it very big, and the hair is all tangled, as if it has never been bathed."
"Have you seen it before?" Harry asked in surprise.
"It was the last time I went to Hogsmeade."
Kyle laughed and said: "It was lying in front of a store. I played with it for a while. I think it probably wandered over from there."
"What?" Harry still didn't understand. "You mean it was raised in Hogsmeade, and it's not unknown?"
"If a black dog represents something ominous, what about Hagrid?" Kyle said, "Don't forget that Fang is also black."
After being reminded like this, Harry realized that this seemed to be the case.
Fang is a black hound owned by Hagrid. You can see it every time you go to Care of Magical Creatures class...
"And..." Kyle continued: "That dog is very humane and very smart. He is good at rolling, shaking hands, and walking through fire rings.
You can try it next time you see it, it's really interesting.
"I highly recommend the backflip," Cedric said. "I'd say even some trained swallow-tailed dogs don't have the standard for it."
"I think it would be nice to get into a fire ring," Kyle said. "Make three circles of different sizes. It feels like playing a different kind of Quidditch."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Harry's disgust and fear of black dogs gradually disappeared.
If many people saw it, maybe it was just an ordinary dog like Fang.
And it went through the fire ring and did a backflip... Harry suddenly felt a little curious. Is the dog really as smart as Kyle said?
Unfortunately, he couldn't go to Hogsmeade Village, but he could tell Ron and Hermione to look for it.
"Oh, by the way." Kyle reminded: "If you want to see it perform, remember to bring some food, otherwise the lazy dog won't move."
Harry nodded to show that he remembered.
"One more thing." He said, "Can you teach me how to use the Patronus Charm... I don't want to faint again when I see the Dementor next time."
"Well..." Kyle hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Although I really want to teach you, I may not have so much time recently.
Three trainings a week, plus some other activities, my spare time is almost full."
Harry was a little disappointed.
But soon, Kyle continued: "But you can go to Professor Lupin, he also knows this spell."
"Yes, Professor Lupin!" Harry said in surprise, "Hermione told me that he made the Dementor on the train retreat."
"Thank you, Kyle."
Harry didn't even eat his meal and hurried to Professor Lupin's office.
