Chapter 38
"What magic did you just cast?"Hermione leaned over to William and asked quietly.
"The shock-absorbing spell was originally used in the production of flying brooms to ensure that the rider feels more comfortable."
William explained casually. He didn't expect that Madam Hooch didn't know this spell. She is also a professor of flying classes. She should be in contact with this kind of spell for designing flying brooms frequently.
It seems that the professors at Hogwarts are really mixed. There are big names in various fields such as the four deans, and there are also unqualified people like Quirrell and Madam Hooch.
William and Hermione had just whispered a few words when they heard Malfoy's rampant laughter not far away.
"Did you see his face, that big fool?"
The other Slytherin students echoed
""Shut up, Malfoy." Parvati Patil snapped
""Huh, protecting Longbottom?" sneered Pansy Parkinson, an ugly Slytherin girl.
"I didn't expect you to like chubby little tears, Patil"
""Look!" Malfoy said, rushing over and grabbing something on the grass,"That big fool Longbottom's grandmother gave it to him."
He held up the memory ball, and it sparkled in the sun.
Although William felt that Malfoy was too annoying, he did not try to stop him, because this was Harry's chance to become a seeker, and he didn't want to ruin it.
Sure enough, Harry couldn't help it, and whispered to Malfoy:"Give it to me, Malfoy."
Everyone stopped talking and stared at the two, waiting for their showdown.
Malfoy grinned uglyly.
"I'd like to leave it somewhere for Longbottom to pick up - in a tree - how about that?"
""Get it!" Harry shouted.
But Malfoy had already jumped on his broom and took off.
Although his previous words were bragging, he really flew well.
He was suspended at a height parallel to the top of an oak tree and shouted,"Come and get it, Potter!"
Harry grabbed his broom.
Hermione wanted to step forward to stop him, but William was quick and grabbed her.
"William, let me go. He will cause trouble for all of us if he does this." Hermione glared at William angrily.
William did not let her go, but asked her:"Hermione, do you think Harry will listen to you? Can you stop him?"
Before Hermione could answer, Harry had already got on the flying broom, pushed the ground hard, and flew up.
Seeing this, Hermione felt that it was over and Harry would definitely be expelled.
She struggled to break free from William, stared at him and said:"You are harming Harry by doing this, he will be expelled!"
"Don't worry, Harry won't be expelled." William said calmly.
Hermione was very dissatisfied with William's attitude, and asked indignantly:"Why are you so sure? Madam Hooch said that anyone who flies privately will be expelled from Hogwarts!"
William shook his head and sighed:"Hermione, you are still too naive. Madam Hooch does not have the ability to expel students from Hogwarts."
"If you don't believe it, we can make a bet. If Harry is expelled, I will let you deal with him, how about that?"
Hermione calmed down a little, but still said dissatisfiedly:"If Harry is expelled, what's the point of me dealing with you? Do you want to be expelled too?"
William shrugged:"Even if Harry is expelled, it is his own fault. Do you think you can stop him if I don't hold you back?"
While Hermione and William were arguing, Harry had already skillfully controlled the flying broom and flew towards Malfoy.
Perhaps he inherited James Potter's Quidditch talent, Harry seemed to know how to control the flying broom.
Malfoy barely dodged Harry, and Harry turned around suddenly and grabbed the broom steadily.
Several people below began to applaud
"There's no Crabbe or Goyle here to protect you, Malfoy." Harry shouted.
Malfoy seemed to have the same idea.
""Here, see if you can catch it!" he shouted, throwing the glass ball high into the air and then rapidly dropping to the ground.
Harry saw it rise to the sky as if in slow motion and then begin to fall.
He leaned forward, pointing his broom downward, and in the blink of an eye he was swooping down in pursuit of the ball. The wind whistled in his ears, mingling with the screams of the audience below, and he reached out and caught the glass ball a foot above the ground.
He straightened the broom handle in time and fell gently to the grass, the memory ball firmly grasped in his palm.
"Harry Potter!
Harry's heart suddenly sank, faster than it had just dived.
Professor McGonagall was running towards them. Harry stood up from the ground, trembling all over.
"In all my years at Hogwarts - I've never——"
Professor McGonagall was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Her eyes were shining with anger.
"——How dare you - you'll break your neck——"
"Professor, although Harry was a little reckless, it was Malfoy who started this."William explained to Professor McGonagall.
Although he knew that Harry would be fine, he still had to say what he had to say.
Professor McGonagall nodded seriously.
"I understand, Mr. Cavendish. Okay, Potter, follow me."
Seeing this, Ron also hurriedly said:"But Malfoy——"
Professor McGonagall was not so easy to talk to Ron.
"Shut up, Mr. Weasley."
"Potter, come with me."
Professor McGonagall strode towards the castle, and Harry followed mechanically.
He knew he was going to be expelled, and he wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but there seemed to be something wrong with his throat.
When Professor McGonagall and Harry walked away, Hermione immediately said angrily to William:"This is what you said you wouldn't expel! Madam Hooch doesn't have the ability to expel students, but Professor McGonagall is the vice-president, she must have the ability!"
"Are you happy now? You and Harry are still roommates. You didn't stop him when he made a mistake, and you stopped me from stopping him. You are such a bastard!"
Hermione said, and without waiting for William to explain, she turned and walked to the other side, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.
William smacked his lips, feeling a little wronged. Even if he didn't stop Hermione, Hermione couldn't stop Harry.
Forget it, Hermione didn't take the script. Unlike him, she was a time traveler and knew most things well.
But it didn't feel good to be misunderstood, and William was in a bad mood.
When he saw Malfoy and the others laughing so happily, he became even more unhappy.
William felt that if he was unhappy, then others would not be happy either.
So he took a step and walked towards Malfoy and the others.
"Malfoy, you are having fun flying, right? I will let you fly more happily, okay?"
William didn't wait for Malfoy to answer, he grabbed his collar and threw him into the sky.
Before Malfoy could react, he had already flown into the sky.
However, this time the flight was out of his control, and he quickly fell to the ground.
Malfoy was so scared that he waved his hands and feet and screamed in fear.
William reached out to catch the falling Malfoy and prevented him from falling to the ground.
It was enough to scare him, but there was no need to break his hands and feet.
Malfoy's followers Crabbe and Goyle didn't dare to step forward at this time, because William was too scary.
Just throwing people around for fun, how amazing!
Hermione, who ignored William, ran over and grabbed him.
"William, what are you doing? Do you want to be expelled from Hogwarts like Harry?"
William casually left the limp Malfoy behind, and a smile returned to his face.
"Hermione, I didn't hurt him, why would I be expelled? Besides, Harry wasn't expelled either, so you'd better stop cursing him." Hermione became even angrier when she heard that:"Yes, Harry wasn't expelled, I cursed him, and you didn't hurt Malfoy, I'm just meddling in other people's business, okay!"
William held her back and said sincerely:"No, how could that be? I know you're worried about me and care about me, so you stopped me."
Seeing William so sincere, Hermione was not so angry anymore.
But at this time, Malfoy, who had recovered, yelled at William in a cowardly manner:"Cavendish, just wait, I'm going to tell my dad that you bullied me……"
Malfoy didn't dare to say the following words, because William's cold eyes swept over him.
"Do you want to fly again?"
