66. Salted fish…
The music stopped, as if someone had turned it off.
The violent explosion caused dust to cover the entire Gryffindor stand. Many students shouted anxiously, but did not dare to get close to the center of the explosion, which was not clearly visible.
Is the anchor okay? Please reply before the anchor dies.
No problem, he’s such a dick, even though the explosion was a bit unexpected, it’s definitely fine
If nothing happens, why would the music be interrupted?
"Hey Harry──Hermione──are you okay? Where are you?"
Hagrid waved his thick arms vigorously to fan away the dust. Hermione fell on her seat, Elaine stood in front of her, and Harry was struggling to get up from the stands. He had some scratches and bleeding on his head, but the three of them There doesn't seem to be any problem.
In the air in front of the three people, there was a silver round sphere floating in the air, containing broken broom fragments.
The camera in the live broadcast room turned to the teacher's chair. Snape did not know when he pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry and Elaine. After making sure that Harry was fine, he withdrew the magic and hurriedly left the stand. In the chaos, except for the audience in the live broadcast room and Elaine Besides, no one noticed that the professor had taken any action.
As soon as Snape's wand was removed, the ball disappeared immediately, and the broom fragments scattered on the ground.
And Elaine took the right opportunity to sit back, looking as if the magic she used had failed.
"Elaine"
"Hey girl, it's okay with you"
"Collect the fragments." Elaine coughed several times and whispered. "Collect the fragments and give them to the professor for inspection. No one is missing. The broom is cursed."
The explosion was so sudden that it was too late to notice. Adair used most of his magic power to protect Hermione and Harry, and the rest was used to protect several important parts of the body, such as the heart, throat and face.
She had been mentally prepared to be stabbed by the debris. Fortunately, Snape took action, but the teacher's stand was a bit far away. Elaine's body was still injured internally by the shock wave of the explosion. Now she feels pain when she speaks, and her chest is very uncomfortable. .
"Uh" Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment. He seemed to have stepped on it.
Hermione rolled her eyes at Hagrid and hurriedly asked Ron, Lavender, Neville and others to collect the fragments. At this time, Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hooch were struggling to squeeze through the crowd and ran towards them.
"Shafiq, are you okay?" Professor McGonagall squinted her eyes and looked at Elaine, as if she noticed something, but did not say anything. "You'd better go to the school hospital for a check-up, and Mr. Potter too."
"Okay, Professor."
With the support of Parvati and Hermione, Elaine and Harry were sent to the school hospital, and the Quidditch match was also suspended.
The only good news is that the two of them only had minor injuries. Harry had to wear a bandage for a few days, and Elaine, who was more serious, only had to drink potion for half a month.
Although Hagrid trampled a few pieces, Professor Flitwick still found out that the broom was cursed. The news immediately caused an uproar, with students talking about it, and various rumors and conspiracy theories flying everywhere.
Some people also questioned why a first-year freshman could block the explosive curse broom, but the newly released Daily Prophet gave them the answer. After regaining consciousness, Elaine immediately wrote two volumes of parchment letters to Rita. The reporter's It was also very efficient and made the headlines within a week.
Although it was not stated clearly from beginning to end, after reading the newspaper, most of the students believed that there were five or six remaining Death Eaters hiding in Hogwarts, ready to kill Harry and Elaine in revenge. This report The Ministry of Magic was even alerted, and Fudge sent an Auror to investigate, but naturally nothing was found.
If nothing unexpected happens, this case will remain unsolved in the end, and everyone will forget about it when the Christmas holiday starts next week.
At the same time, because the report also reiterated that Elaine used music magic to counteract the curse at the Ministry of Magic dinner three years ago, and the tit-for-tat confrontation between Elaine and Snape in her first Potions class was also reported, the students I thought that Elaine had the inheritance and protection of the Shafiq family.
Well, in a way, they were right.

"You should go find Quirrell and give him a good beating, really."
In the soul space, Du Chen said seriously.
If he was controlling the body at that time, the situation would definitely be worse, because if there is no preparation in advance, there will be a gap of several seconds when the consciousness suddenly switches, and Adair is not awake all the time. Compared with normal people, he needs more Rest time is a good time to replenish your magic power and maintain yourself.
Adair is so promiscuous now because he received a reward of 100 million before.
That's right, a reward of 100 million soft girl coins.
Although the popularity of the Fantastic Beasts series and the popularity of Harry Potter in the live broadcast room have caused Aunt Rowling's net worth to rise again, but just that, Aunt Rowling did not hesitate to throw away 1% of her wealth Giving back to Adair, this kind of magnanimity is really crazy, and makes Du Chen jealous.
But he is jealous because he is not short of magic power and money now, but what he lacks is the technology to control magic power.
"If you don't do it, you won't be beaten to death. It's a waste of magic power." Adair shrugged and said, "If you are willing to fuse with me, you can go to him to cause trouble, but now my strength is reduced by one point every time I use it. I can't fully use it." Let Ms. Rowling pay.”
"People are willing"
"I don't want to accept her even if she wants to. Living in this form makes me very uncomfortable, so can you bravely, simply, and accept your fate and devour me so that I can be freed early?"
"How can you still feel uncomfortable if you don't feel anything?" Du Chen protested dissatisfied, "And I said I won't devour you anymore, so I should practice hard─"
"I don't see what you're doing here to practice, it's a waste of time, and I don't want to live this way."
Pointing to the ground where there was no progress, Adair sighed.
"You won't understand. No normal person can understand. The memories that I once liked, hated, sad, and painful, but now I don't feel anything when I think about it. I don't care about anything. I feel, I feel."
Adair thought about the words.
"It's hard to express. I know I have to go. I remember that this is a very important thing, but I feel it doesn't matter. Everything is fine. As time goes by, my memory deteriorates. This situation becomes more and more obvious, but I can't resist── If this continues, my consciousness will slowly be wiped out, and I might not be able to get up after falling asleep one day. This is why I said that the live broadcast room has a lifespan, and the soul and consciousness are actually two sides of the same body, maybe."
It sounds like salted fish
I understand not wanting to do homework, but I have to hand in a report tomorrow.
But you said before that you like anime music.
"Oh, I want to try to lie to myself. If I tell a lie a few times, it might become true, right?"
Adair answered the barrage leisurely, because he always smiled when he spoke, and the audience thought he was joking and did not think carefully about what he said.
Even if there is, as Adair said - it is incomprehensible. After all, it is impossible for normal people to strip away their emotions, and insensitive guys will not watch this live broadcast room.
But that was the audience. Unlike Du Chen, whose soul was entangled with Adair, he seemed to be able to feel some kind of heavy and desperate feeling.
In short, Adair's words made his already depressed mood even worse.
Looking at the unchanged soul space, Du Chen sighed deeply and walked towards the piano not far away.
He didn't want to get involved in Adair's affairs, nor did he want to practice magic.
For two whole weeks, I came in every night and just stared at the floor in a daze. Even the most optimistic person would be depressed, so I just played the piano to change my mood.
Du Chen pressed the keys casually, and a familiar melody sounded, the ending theme of Spirited Away, ys ith, a meticulous work by the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki.
It is a relaxing lyrical melody that is cheerful, lively, easy to remember, and makes people feel a little emotional because of the plot. It is very suitable for relaxing and restoring the mood. Along with the light and soft sound of the piano, some viewers unconsciously hum along or match the rhythm. Tap or tap lightly, or nod slightly.
Adair didn't care what Du Chen did. He was not his father. As long as Du Chen met his requirements, he didn't bother to care about Du Chen's every behavior. He just sat in a chair in boredom, watching to see if there was any barrage. People want to chat with him.
But soon he jumped up from the chair, because at some point, water began to enter the soul space, and the water reached the soles of his feet.
In Adair's widened eyes, the entire soul space began to change, while Du Chen played the piano without realizing it.
