Chapter 27 True Courage
Neville's eyes widened as he watched Zhang Xiao jump off the broom and chase him. His tears were like a flood that opened, leaving a crystalline line of water in the air.
Hermione, who had been paying close attention to the two of them nervously, suddenly let out a scream. She pulled out her wand and ran in the direction of the two's whereabouts. The little wizards also stopped chatting and looked at the sky in confusion, and then they all agreed in unison. screamed.
Mrs. Huo Qi's heart seemed to be squeezed hard. She blew the silver whistle in her mouth and shouted sternly:
"Everyone, stand still and don't move! Otherwise, you will be expelled!"
With a rare tremor in her voice, she picked up the broomstick, thought for a moment but put it down. Instead, like Hermione, she chose to pull out her wand and run in the direction of the two people who were about to land.
The movement here even alarmed the dean who had just walked out of the door. Professor McGonagall swore that she had never hated Hogwarts' anti-disapparation spell as much as she did now.
She could only purse her lips and run as fast as she could in the direction of the students. Her bun fell down as she ran. The meticulous dean didn't even have the time to lift his hair. In the end, Professor McGonagall simply Jump up, turn into a cat in the air, move your limbs and run.
Snape also had a gloomy face and kept spraying venom from his mouth:
"Poor Mr. Longbottom must have forgotten to bring his brain with him today. With his empty mind, he took an excellent Slytherin as his own brain and took him flying into the sky.
Minerva, this kind of thing will never happen in my college, because on the first day of school, I persuaded Mr. Longbottom to go home! "
Although he said this, his speed was not slow at all. The huge cloak was blown up by the wind, and it looked like he was gliding, moving quickly against the ground.
Professor Flitwick knew that he could not catch up, so he took out his wand and read in a quick but clear voice:
"You are as light as a swallow!" "Run quickly."
He cast spells on the two professors, and their movements were obviously much faster.
Zhang Xiao didn't know what was happening next. His eyes were firmly fixed on Neville, and he tried to straighten his body to reduce wind resistance. Finally, he caught Neville and shouted in the ear of Neville who was crying:
"Neville, has anyone ever said that? You are a true Gryffindor, a reckless and pure lion??"
After saying that, he slapped the talisman in his hand hard on Neville's back: "You can't die! I said so!"
Neville seemed to have suddenly opened his parachute, and his falling speed suddenly slowed down to the limit. He was like a light feather, floating in the air with the wind, and falling slowly.
And he himself continued to slide towards the ground like a meteor.
Harry watched Zhang Xiao continue to fall. He picked up his broomstick and was about to ride on it. Seamus hurriedly grabbed him:
"Harry, are you crazy? Mrs. Hooch said that anyone who touches anyone will be expelled!"
Harry looked at him with green eyes and said firmly:
"I would rather choose to live with Dali than my friend's life or being expelled!"
Who is Dali? Seamus looked confused. Before he could figure it out, Harry had already stepped onto his broomstick and suddenly jumped into the sky. There was a figure flying behind him.
It's Ron!
"Harry, you are right! The lives of friends are more important than expulsion!" He shouted loudly, his face turning red: "If I shrink back, I will look down on myself! I am from the Weasley family. people!"
Several young wizards on the Slytherin side were obviously in a commotion. They hesitated for a moment, and regretfully gave up the idea considering that they had never touched a broomstick.
Malfoy in the crowd watched the two figures flying into the sky with uncertainty. He snorted and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot!"
But his hand still unconsciously touched the broom. As Pansy Parkinson and other purebloods looked on coldly, Malfoy suddenly stepped onto the broom and also rushed into the sky.
He whispered to himself:
"It doesn't matter. My father is the school director. They don't dare to fire me. I can't let this idiot Zhang die. He hasn't taught me Chinese yet, and I haven't seen the end of Dragon Ball either."
The ground was getting closer and closer, but the second floating talisman was still not found. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Xiao's forehead. In his line of sight, he could already see Hermione holding the wand and firing towards him. The spell, probably a levitating spell, was accompanied by Mrs. Hooch, who was waiting with her wand.
There are two black figures in the distance running towards this side at extremely fast speeds.
Hmm.. It seemed that he was not going to die. Zhang Xiao spread his hands, imitated Tom Cat, crossed his legs in the air, put his hands behind his head, whistled and enjoyed the moment of tranquility and beautiful scenery.
The clear sky, the howling wind, and the rapid falling feeling gave him a strange feeling of being transported.
Just out of the corner of his vision, three dark figures suddenly ran out of sight. Zhang Xiao turned around and saw Harry, Ron and Malfoy? ? ?
As he was approaching quickly on his broom, Harry was the fastest. He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Xiao.
"No! A broom can't support two people!"
Harry reacted immediately, but did not retract his hand. Instead, he grabbed Zhang Xiao's clothes and jerked upwards. He immediately let go, and Zhang Xiao's downward momentum suddenly became much lighter.
Be good! Is this talent?
Zhang Xiao watched in amazement as Harry flew up and down around him like a dexterous swift. Every time he just pulled Zhang Xiao and then immediately let go, his speed actually slowed down. .
At the same time, he did not forget to cheer himself loudly. Although Malfoy and Ron's skills were not bad, they were not as flexible as Harry. They could only circle around constantly. When they crossed each other, they still moved towards each other. The other person spits or lets out a loud "hum".
As he approached the ground, Harry's broom suddenly made a snapping sound. He immediately lost his balance and screamed as he rowed downwards. Fortunately, he was only a few meters above the ground at this time.
Ron yelled, rushed towards Zhang Xiao, hugged him with both hands, and the two of them rolled around on the ground several times. Harry limped over and waved excitedly, Malfoy He also landed next to him, but he had a cold face and didn't say a word.
The little wizards in the distance suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. They waved their hands and ran towards several people.
Zhang Xiao struggled to get up from the ground, and Ron used him as a flesh pad at the last moment. It didn't hurt much, but Ron lay on the ground grunting, as if the pain was severe.
"Ron...Harry, and you Malfoy..." Zhang Xiao was stuck for a moment. The eloquence he had honed in his previous life was so powerless in the face of such a sincere and unpretentious friendship.
He didn't even know how to express his feelings. Seeing the silly smiles on Harry and Ron's faces, and the worry that Malfoy couldn't hide despite his stinky face, Zhang Xiao suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
He stretched out his hand and hugged all three of them in one breath, and whispered in a low voice:
"Thanks."
Behind the bushes in the distance, an old man wearing crescent glasses sighed softly. He whispered to the flaming red bird standing on his shoulder:
"Ah, that's great, Fox. The innocence and courage of young people are so beautiful and such a touching friendship... I think we are not needed here."
A flash of fire flashed, and the figure disappeared, leaving only a crisp cry, which seemed to agree with the old man's words.
Commendable friendship and admirable courage.
