Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 123 Lion and Snake Join Forces: A Rescue Operation After Many Twists and Turns!

Seeing this, Madam Hooch was extremely anxious. Her gaze quickly locked onto Dudley, whose legs were already emitting a red glow. As she mounted her flying broom, she spoke rapidly:

“Dursley, Mr. Longbottom is in your care! I’m going to rescue Miss Granger!”

"it is good!"

Dudley immediately agreed, his gaze fixed on Neville, who was dancing wildly in the distance. With a sudden burst of energy, he shot off.

He had to rush to a spot not far below Neville, but fortunately, at the crucial moment, he used the 'Shock Absorption and Speed ​​Stop' spell to catch Neville safely.

But not long after he darted out, he saw two figures flashing across the sky above him.

It turned out that two young wizards had mounted flying broomsticks, soared into the sky, and headed straight for Neville in the heavens.

Dudley could see clearly that Malfoy, dressed in a green wizard's robe, was flying ahead, while Harry was chasing closely behind.

Unlike Neville and Hermione, who couldn't control their flying brooms, the two of them flew quite smoothly, one after the other, clearly possessing exceptional talent. Moreover, judging from some of the techniques Malfoy used, it seemed like he had learned them before.

"Cousin! Malfoy might be bullying Neville, let's chase after them!"

Harry Potter flew high in the air on his broomstick and shouted.

He was keeping a close eye on Malfoy and was gradually overtaking him, eventually surpassing him.

Dudley was skeptical of Harry's concerns.

During the Charms class, Malfoy didn't laugh at Seamus, who was covered in soot from the explosion, and he even interrupted Crabbe and Goyle's mockery. Dudley saw all of this.

He believed that Malfoy showed signs of reforming himself and was not the type to kick someone when they're down at a time like this.

At that moment, a cacophony of shouts erupted from behind Dali.

He glanced back and saw that the remaining Gryffindor and Slytherin freshmen were divided into two camps, arguing quite a bit.

One group was cheering for Harry, and the other was cheering for Malfoy.

"You all better behave yourselves! If anyone dares to fly up in the sky on a broomstick again, I'll hang them outside the eighth floor of the castle for three days and three nights!"

Dudley turned around and let out an extremely loud and extremely cold roar.

The freshmen from Gryphon and Slytherin were terrified. They quickly threw their flying brooms to the ground and forcibly covered their mouths, afraid of angering Dudley.

If other professors said this, they would definitely think they were joking, but when Dudley said it, they really didn't dare to gamble!

After suppressing the new students, Dali ran off again, glancing at the situation in the sky above Na'vi's territory as he ran.

Malfoy flew to Neville's side, nimbly used a dragon tail swing to hover in the air, and reached out to try to grab Neville's elbow.

As a result, Neville, who was already panicked and teetering on the edge, was even more terrified when he saw Malfoy coming to grab him. His instinctive sidestep caused Malfoy's rescue to fail.

At this moment, Harry also came over. When he saw Malfoy pulling Neville, he subconsciously thought that Malfoy was going to do something bad. So, relying on his own talent, he imitated him and did the same Dragon Tail Swing, which caught Malfoy off guard and made him eat a mouthful of broom hair.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Malfoy spat out the broom bristles from his mouth, extremely angry. "Harry Potter! Aren't you going to save your cousin's sidekick?"

"what?!"

Harry blurted out his question. Before he could react, he turned around and saw Malfoy press down on the tip of his flying broom, which swooped down at high speed to catch up with Neville, who was already falling rapidly.

Seeing this, Harry didn't dare to delay and also swooped down rapidly, rushing towards Neville at a speed even faster than Malfoy's.

"Neville, pull your broom handle up! Hold on!"

Below, on the ground, Dali was already in position. He looked up and shouted a reminder.

He had no intention of casting a calming spell on Neville. He still hoped that Neville could become strong on his own sooner and transform himself, rather than rising up only when he killed Nagini and achieving the title of Gryffindor Sword Saint so late in life.

As Neville plummeted downwards, the strong winds made it impossible for him to open his eyes. In his hazy state, he heard Dudley's voice. Without thinking, he grabbed at the broom like it was a lifeline and began to exert all his strength. His two hands, which were already gripping the broom's tip tightly, suddenly pushed upwards with all their might...

Then, as Malfoy and Harry were rapidly plunging down, they saw Neville below screaming, crying, and with his eyes closed, rushing upwards, quickly passing between them, and then crashing headlong into the outer wall of the castle's upper floors in the distance.

"not good!"

Malfoy, Harry, and Dudley shouted in unison.

Take remedial measures promptly.

Malfoy and Harry, riding their flying brooms, turned around and chased after Neville.

Meanwhile, Dali, below, forcefully threw his Smetin cane upwards.

Smetine's cane shot forward like an arrow, propelled by immense force, and upon reaching its target, it transformed into a wide, thick flying carpet, covering Neville and desperately resisting the forward momentum of Neville and his flying broomstick.

With Dudley blocking his way, Neville's flying speed decreased. Malfoy and Harry seized the opportunity, flying to Neville's side from the left and right, and grabbing the outer handle of the flying carpet that Dudley had specially conjured.

They all swung their tails in unison, exerting force in the opposite direction.

In the end, all danger was averted when the flying carpet covering Neville was only five or six meters away from the outer wall of the castle, and all its forward momentum was forcibly stopped.

Dali had already reached out, ready to turn the air in front of that section of the outer wall into a soft, cushioning air cushion, but only slowly lowered his hand when he saw that Neville had successfully stopped the car.

Watching Malfoy and Harry pull Neville, who was wrapped in a flying carpet, as they slowly descended and finally landed safely.

In her office on the second floor of the castle, Professor McGonagall, whose attention had been drawn by the shouts outside the window, witnessed the latter part of this rapid rescue.

The idea of ​​recommending Harry to the Gryffindor Quidditch team as an exception arose in his mind.

As for Malfoy, although his skills are quite good, Professor McGonagall won't say a word.

Her impartiality does not mean she would intentionally cause trouble for the Gryffindor school she leads.

With that thought in mind, Professor McGonagall immediately left her office and headed towards the playground outside the castle.

Meanwhile, outside the playground, Harry and Dudley were helping Neville, whose legs were trembling, walk toward the freshmen assembly point.

"Humph!"

Malfoy glared at Harry arrogantly, then walked a distance ahead of the three of them, his expression arrogant and cool as he held his flying broom.

“Cousin, I think I misunderstood Malfoy! You told me before that people have many facets and we can’t generalize, and now I understand that more deeply.”

Harry, supporting Neville's right hand, whispered to Dudley, reflecting on his earlier behavior.

"When people judge each other, they often make preconceived notions based on their first impression. You and I are just ordinary people. As long as we reflect on our actions before serious consequences occur, that's enough. When the opportunity arises, you can go and apologize to Malfoy."

Dudley comforted Harry, which made Harry feel much better.

After walking for a while, Dudley and the others saw Lady Hooch leading a group of new students from Gryphon and Slytherin towards them.

Hermione was among them, walking at the front of the group. Although her face showed some signs of shock, she still held her head high and stood proudly upright.
