Chapter 136 Hi, Dahei!

To be honest, Sherlock is not very interested in Quidditch.

Because he spent a lot of time in the library, in addition to some books to enhance his magical knowledge, Sherlock also read many other miscellaneous books when he was relaxing.

Among them is the origin of Quidditch.

To be honest, there is nothing much to say about this ball game, but in the beginning, there was actually no golden snitch, and there was no seeker in the Quidditch team.

Until a game in 1269, Barberu Bragg, then president of the Wizard Council, came to watch the game.

He brought a bird-like magical animal named Golden Snitch and announced that anyone who caught the Golden Snitch in the game would win a grand prize of 150 Galleons.

In the subsequent game, the players naturally forgot about the game completely and only wanted to catch the poor bird and get the grand prize of 150 Galleons.

The wizards in the audience used repellent spells to drive the bird that wanted to escape back to the stadium so that they could watch this special game.

Until a witch named Modesty Rabnott felt pity for the poor Golden Snidget, secretly used the summoning spell to hide it in her robe and then let it go.

But the incident was eventually discovered, and the angry Bragg fined her ten Galleons for disrupting the game.

Although the Golden Snidget was not caught in this game, Quidditch has been associated with the Golden Snidget since then.

In every game, a Golden Snidget is released, and each team has a player - originally called a "Hunter" and later a Seeker - who is responsible for catching it.

If a Hunter can catch and kill a Golden Snidget, his team will win 150 points to symbolize the 150 Galleons promised by Bragg.

The popularity of Quidditch games has rapidly reduced the number of Golden Snidgets. In the 14th century, the Golden Snidget was almost extinct, and a Golden Snidget that could be used in the game was even auctioned at a sky-high price.

Finally, a metalworker named Bowman Wright from Godric's Hollow had a different idea: he invented a fake Golden Snitch, which he called the Golden Snitch.

This is the origin of the Golden Snitch and the Seeker position in a Quidditch game.

It was very disgraceful, and almost led to the extinction of a race. Now there is a Modesty Rabnot Snitch Sanctuary in Somerset to protect the Golden Snitch, a bird-like magical animal.

So from the beginning, Sherlock was not interested in this sport.

But he had nothing to do in his office, and his mood was much better than before. He was idle anyway, so he just went to join in the fun.

The teachers and students of Hogwarts were obviously more enthusiastic about Quidditch than him. Almost all the teachers and students in the castle came to the Quidditch field in the wind and rain.

The wind was so strong that normal umbrellas could not be held up at all and would be blown away.

On the way to the stadium, Sherlock saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and others, as well as students such as Hermione and Ron.

But he did not go over, but walked to the highest point of the audience alone and sat there with his chin propped up.

Such a heavy rain had no effect on the Quidditch game. Sherlock even saw Dumbledore in the front row, and even he did not miss this game.

The players of both sides began to take off on their flying brooms. The referee of this game was Mrs. Hooch, the flying class teacher.

Sherlock looked familiar with the players on both sides of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

Harry, Wood, Cedric, the Weasley twins, the latter ones are all students he is currently teaching.

The game seemed to be very lively. Although Sherlock was not interested, he knew a little about the rules of Quidditch.

It can be seen from the scene that the Gryffindor team is temporarily leading, but Harry is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of seekers.

Because he needed to wear glasses, but Cedric didn't, the rain seriously blocked his vision.

In the middle of the game, the Gryffindor team called a timeout. Hermione seemed to run to Harry's side and cast some magic on his glasses, so that it would no longer be disturbed by the rain and become clear.

Sherlock guessed that it should be a waterproof spell, a small spell that was not difficult but a little off-the-beaten-path. It would not be difficult for a student like Hermione, whose biggest hobby was reading, to learn.

Just when the timeout ended and the game continued, Sherlock glanced around casually out of boredom.

Then he met a big black dog that was sneaking over from the side of the stands.

Sherlock looked at the black dog and was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted. This dog was the black dog that led them to find clues when he and Silk first went to Hogsmeade to investigate!

After that, he didn't meet it again when he went to Hogsmeade. Sherlock thought it had wandered to other places, but he didn't expect to meet it again in Hogwarts.

"Come, come over here, Big Black."

Sherlock called out to the black dog.

Sirius, who sneaked into Hogwarts to watch Harry play, was in a dilemma.

According to his previous experience, the highest position in the audience is the worst viewing point in Quidditch games. Normally, no one in Hogwarts should sit here to watch the game.

As a result, he met this young professor as soon as he came here today.

And what the hell is Big Black!

After hesitating for a long time, Sirius felt that turning around and running now would only arouse Sherlock's desire to catch him back. If he was caught back by magic, it would be a problem whether he would resist or not.

He simply took the initiative and walked to Sherlock's side as if he were a real dog on four legs.

Sherlock naturally felt very close to the dog. If it weren't for it, he and Silk probably wouldn't have been able to catch the straw man so smoothly.

He touched Sirius's wet hair and could clearly feel that the dog was very strong and had strong muscles under the skin.

Sirius felt numb all over and had to stick out his tongue to pretend to be friendly.

"You are quite amazing. You can run into Hogwarts with so many Dementors guarding you." Sherlock said puzzledly, "Could it be that Dementors have no interest in dogs?"

Dementors certainly have no interest in dogs.

Sirius silently complained in his heart. It was because of this that he had not gone crazy after staying in Azkaban for so long.

Ignoring Sherlock's hands on him, Sirius was staring at Harry's performance on the court. Watching him flying in the air on a broomstick reminded him of James.

At this time, Harry, who was looking for the figure of the Golden Snitch in the rain, inadvertently turned his eyes to the highest point of the stands.

He saw Sherlock and the big black dog next to Sherlock!

Harry was not calm at all.

He still remembered the prophecy that Professor Trelawney had made to him in the Divination class at the beginning of this semester, saying that he would encounter an ominous sign.

The so-called ominous sign was a big black dog!

Harry had seen this black dog in many places, but he didn't expect that when he saw it again this time, it was actually with Sherlock!

Just when Harry was stunned, Wood, the goalkeeper, found that the golden snitch was behind Harry.

He shouted loudly to remind Harry, and Harry also noticed the golden ball flapping its wings quickly.

But just as he was about to lower his broom and dive towards the position of the golden snitch, his ears suddenly became quiet.

It was as if someone turned off the sound switch in his ears, making him deaf, and then he felt the coldness as if he fell into an ice cave.

There were at least more than a hundred dementors under him, looking at him with their faces hidden under the turban!

Sherlock found the problem as soon as the Dementors entered the Quidditch field.

He frowned, looking at the Dementors floating from the distant horizon with the strong wind, and clenched his wand in his right hand.

Sirius escaped from the stands as soon as the Dementors appeared. He thought that the Dementors had discovered his traces and were coming to catch him.

Sherlock didn't care about the black dog that ran away with its tail between its legs. He was watching the Dementors falling from the sky and pulled out his wand.

Dumbledore, who was sitting in the first row of the stands, also found the Dementors. His expression was ugly, or extremely ugly.

Sherlock had never seen Dumbledore show such an ugly expression, but he didn't deal with the Dementors immediately, because Harry seemed to be stimulated by something and fell from the flying broom in the sky!

If no one cared about Harry, this height would be enough to smash him into a pulp, so Dumbledore made a decision in a short time and used a spell to stabilize the falling Harry first.

Those uncontrolled Dementors quickly flew to the stands, and almost all the students felt the biting cold.

There were also two Dementors in front of Sherlock. He held his wand in the rain, brewing the emotions before casting the spell.

Fortunately, three days had passed since he drank the sadness potion. Now he was in a much better mood than at the beginning. He waved his magic and chanted the spell.

"Expecto Patronus."

The silver light flickered at the tip of his wand. Although the process was a bit slow, a crow composed of pure silver light appeared in the air!

It flapped its wings, dragging long silver light fragments behind it, and flew around the entire Quidditch field.

After the hungry Dementors came into contact with this silver bird, they were like butter heated at high temperature in a pan. Gray gas kept rising from their bodies, and their bodies were rapidly melting!

Sherlock's Patronus quickly flew around the entire stadium, and the Dementors were driven to the center of the stadium like a flock of sheep surrounded by wolves.

Any one who wanted to escape would be mercilessly driven back by the crows.

At this time, Dumbledore finally put Harry, who had fallen from the sky, slowly on the ground.

He looked at the Dementors that were driven together and the silver crows that were surrounding them, and turned his head to look at the high point of the stands.

Sherlock also saw Dumbledore looking at him, so he stretched out a hand and waved at him, indicating that he didn't need to thank him too much.

After seeing that Dumbledore was in control of the situation, Sherlock took back his Patronus and walked towards the bottom of the stands.

At this time, the entire stadium was in chaos. At the moment when Harry fell from the sky, Cedric, the captain and seeker of the Hufflepuff team who had greeted Sherlock in the castle before, caught the Golden Snitch and won the game.

But he obviously had a very upright character. He thought the game was unfair and asked to wait until Harry woke up before replaying.

Dumbledore conjured a stretcher and let Harry lie on it and float, and asked someone to take him to the school hospital.

The other students in the audience naturally left the stadium at this time. The chilling atmosphere produced by the gathering of Dementors was simply unbearable for normal people.

Sherlock also walked out of the stadium with the crowd. His casting action just now was very concealed. Except for Dumbledore, no one saw that he summoned the Raven Patronus.

Before leaving the stadium, Sherlock saw that Dumbledore's negotiation with the Dementors was not very smooth. He even drew out his wand, and there was a bright silver light flashing from it.

How to deal with the Dementors in the future is not Sherlock's business.

He felt that these Dementors were unruly and would definitely cause trouble when school started. Now they rushed into Hogwarts without permission.

After using the Patronus Charm once, Sherlock felt much better.

After releasing 201 Patronus Charms and causing emotional feedback, he never released this spell again.

The effect of the Sadness Potion on him is slowly disappearing. This potion, which has the opposite effect of the Joy Potion, is very wonderful.

Sherlock plans to ask Madam Pomfrey for the formula later, and mix a few bottles of it himself for future use.

He will definitely not give up the Patronus Charm "Storm of Crows". Many dark creatures in the magic world are very afraid of this spell. This is equivalent to his biggest killer against evil creatures such as Dementors.

Therefore, Sherlock must always have some sadness potion on hand. As long as he is careful not to take too much like the big bottle that Madam Pomfrey gave him before, it can completely offset the excitement of the emotions after the crows are cancelled.

Make this method of casting perfect.
