With a "whoosh," Harry dashed out, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
At the same time, Chu Yang also rushed out!
Follow closely behind Harry and chase the Golden Snitch!
Chu Yang wasn't too concerned about whether he could catch the little gadget; he just wanted to test how fast it could fly.
While the other students were still struggling to stay afloat, the two had already begun a fierce chase after the golden snitch.
Both Harry and Chu Yang flew skillfully over Hogwarts, showing no signs of being novices trying to fly for the first time.
Professor McGonagall, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly brightened up and looked somewhat excited. As the Head of Gryffindor, she spent most of her time looking at Harry.
Gryffindor is in dire need of a qualified Seeker, and Harry's performance shows great potential.
Chapter 42 The Gift
42.
Both of them flew at great speeds while chasing the Golden Snitch, but in Madam Hooch's eyes, Chu Yang, who was a step behind Harry, flew with much more ease.
Her eyes were filled with amazement.
For a novice to reach Harry's level on their first flight is already considered genius-level, but Chu Yang's talent is even more exaggerated.
Because he flew standing up...
Flying brooms require delicate control; at high speeds, every movement you make on the broom can cause a significant deviation in direction.
Secondly, observation skills are crucial. The faster you go, the blurrier the surrounding scenery becomes, requiring excellent dynamic vision to observe the positions of teammates and opponents.
The most important thing is mindset!
Only by remaining calm and composed can one make the right choices in a highly competitive match.
In these three aspects, Chu Yang is far superior to Harry.
“If Harry Potter represented Gryffindor in the Quidditch tournament, he would definitely bring the trophy back to the school,” Professor McGonagall, who had been watching Harry intently, couldn’t help but say.
“Professor McGonagall, I mean no offense, but if Chu Yang were to participate in Quidditch, he would certainly be better than Mr. Potter.” Mrs. Hodge proudly raised her head and said, “In this respect, I am a professional.”
Professor McGonagall was speechless.
Mrs. Hogwarts not only officiates Quidditch matches at Hogwarts, but also occasionally officiates official Quidditch matches.
So when she says she's a professional, she's not exaggerating.
Professor McGonagall muttered under her breath, "Headmaster Dumbledore shouldn't have sent Chu Yang to Slytherin. If he could come to Gryffindor, he and Harry Potter would definitely have helped us win the Quidditch championship for many years in a row."
While Mrs. Hooch and Professor McGonagall were arguing, Harry, so engrossed in chasing the Golden Snitch, flew off the playground and sped toward the Whomping Willow.
"Hey! Harry, you can't go that way, it's too dangerous!"
Chu Yang realized something was wrong and quickly stopped Harry from continuing forward.
With his eyes completely focused on the Golden Snitch, Harry couldn't hear Chu Yang's voice at all!
Having received no response, Chu Yang had no choice but to follow Harry out of the playground.
Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hodge were still arguing about whether Chu Yang or Harry would perform better in the Quidditch match.
Finally, Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Chu Yang and Harry are gone! Professors! They flew towards the Whomping Willow!"
Professor McGonagall looked up in surprise. After confirming that she could not see the two students in the sky above the playground, her expression changed, and she grabbed her dark green robe and ran outside.
Mrs. Hodge was just as alarmed, even more so than Professor McGonagall. If something happened to these two, it would happen in her class, and she wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
The Whomping Willow is not a gentle magical plant. Many Hogwarts students have been injured by it over the years, so the school strictly forbids students from approaching it.
No one expected that Harry would actually come this way in pursuit of the Golden Snitch.
Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hooch led the way, running as fast as they could, followed by a large group of students. The scene was spectacular; anyone who didn't know better would have thought Hogwarts was holding some kind of sports competition!
When Professor McGonagall arrived, Harry, Chu Yang, and the Golden Snitch were buzzing around the Whomping Willow like flies. The Whomping Willow, like the tireless Monkey King in A Chinese Odyssey, frantically waved its branches, trying to swat these annoying "flies" to death!
The willow tree, as tall as a three-story building, has branches that are thicker than an adult man's thigh if you pull them out at random.
As it swung wildly, the whistling sound of its branches cutting through the air was enough to make anyone's head spin.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Chu Yang, come down immediately! Stop chasing the Golden Snitch, it's too dangerous!" Professor McGonagall shouted, her expression extremely tense. Harry was the Seeker she had just chosen.
"This is too dangerous for you, come down immediately!" Madam Huoqi was pale and tried to fly up with a broom, but the willow tree was so densely packed with branches that she couldn't get close.
“This is not something I can decide, Mrs. Hooch!” Harry replied anxiously, dodging the branches that came flying from all directions.
Where is there any trace of the Golden Thief right now?
It was most likely smashed by the willow tree that was used to beat people!
The more Harry thought about it, the more upset he became. This was not the outcome he wanted. All he had ever wanted was to catch that flying golden ball.
Professor McGonagall seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Scars!! Just touch the scars on the Whomping Willow and it will immediately calm down!"
Hermione was so anxious she was almost crying. "Professor, we can't even get close to that willow tree, let alone touch its knots."
Professor McGonagall looked at the twenty-year-old Whomping Willow and sighed. If things continued like this, she would have to use magic to burn the tree down. She had to prioritize the safety of her students.
Just as Professor McGonagall hesitated, Harry, whose magic and stamina were running low, gradually slowed down, and finally his flying broom was struck hard by the Willow.
Harry screamed and was sent flying!
Hermione, who witnessed this, covered her eyes and screamed, while Ron anxiously called out Harry's name.
The other students also instinctively covered their eyes amidst the gasps of surprise!
Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hodge's hearts leaped into their throats!
Another figure in mid-air circled around from the opposite direction and narrowly grabbed Harry's clothes, saving him from drowning.
"Sit tight!"
Harry looked up and saw Chu Yang, who was holding him, smiling at him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw that Chu Yang was holding a small golden ball in his hand.
"You caught him?!" Harry was initially surprised, but then somewhat disappointed. He was surprised because Chu Yang was his friend and he was happy for him, but disappointed because it wasn't him who had caught him after all.
"Here you go! Consider it a belated birthday present for you." Chu Yang tossed the Golden Snitch to Harry and encouraged him, "You'll definitely become an excellent Seeker. When you win the championship, you can give me an exact replica."
Harry held the Golden Snitch, a glint seemingly flashing in his eyes.
The flying broom slowly landed on the grass, and Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hodge led the students to gather around.
"This is incredibly reckless! Mr. Chu Yang, Mr. Potter, you have absolutely no idea how serious this is!" Professor McGonagall reprimanded the two men with a stern face, but her eyes were unusually gentle.
Mrs. Hodge, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked intently at Chu Yang. She was certain that based on the level Chu Yang had just demonstrated, he was fully capable of participating in a formal competition!
Harry Potter also possesses extraordinary potential.
Whoever it is, they will become a new star player at Hogwarts in the future!
Chapter 43 Am I a Druid?
"Professor! The 'Hitting Willow' hasn't calmed down yet; in fact, it's getting more and more agitated! It looks like it's about to burst out of the ground!"
Following the sound, everyone looked toward the location of the willow tree that had been hitting people, only to find that the tree was indeed twisting its body wildly, trying to break through the soil!
"What's going on?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened. Although the Whomping Willow is a magical plant, it doesn't mean it can move like a real creature. For the past 20 years, it has been rooted in the soil.
The roots of the willow tree are deep underground; if completely pulled out, they can grow to two-thirds the length of the tree itself.
"Goodness, he's got that Tree Spirit vibe!" Chu Yang exclaimed in admiration. He was about to linger a little longer to admire Liu Weiwu's fighting prowess when Hermione and Harry grabbed him from either side and started running away.
Ron and Neville led the way.
The two were like two fierce generals, screaming as they carved a path through the air.
Everyone was fleeing in panic. Professor McGonagall and Madam Hooch took out their wands and stood guard between the students and the Whomping Willow, preparing to burn down the tree that had been with Hogwarts for many years.
The roots of the willow tree kept breaking through the soil, tearing apart the lush green grass and revealing spiderweb-like cracks on the smooth ground.
The next second, Darenliu fell straight to the ground like a patient with lower body muscle weakness, with a loud bang and dust flying everywhere!
Upon seeing this, the students all stopped and turned to look.
Professor McGonagall let out a long sigh, her body still trembling slightly, but she pretended to be calm and joked, "See? This is the result of trying to run before you can walk. It won't do any good except make people fall down!"
No wonder he's the vice principal; even at this critical juncture, he's thinking about educating the students!
"Ahhhh!"
The students screamed again!
Professor McGonagall turned around and found that the Whomping Willow lying on the ground had not completely lost its life, but was crawling like an animal!
Its thick root branches, like the eight legs of a spider, support its massive body and allow it to crawl at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, Willow bypassed Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hodge, charging straight at the students like a raging bull.
Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and waved it, casting a fire spell in an attempt to burn the Whomping Willow. However, the Whomping Willow crawled much faster than she expected, and the flames only burned off some of its branches.
"Wait a minute." Chu Yang broke free from Harry and Hermione's arms, noticing that the Whomping Willow was acting strangely.
