00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:18making clips. Let's go listen. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 296, The Lost Diary
00:27the next day, Filch still hadn't been seen around the castle. During dinner, Kyle deliberately sought
00:33out Harry to find out what had happened in Lockhart's office the day before. You mustn't
00:38tell anyone else, Harry said, glancing around and lowering his voice. Professor Dumbledore doesn't
00:45want too many people to know about this. Filch was turned to stone because of some kind of advanced
00:51dark magic. So even Madame Pomfrey couldn't cure him? Kyle asked, frowning. No. Harry shook his head.
01:01Madame Pomfrey poured several bottles of potion over him and even dunked him in a barrel full
01:05of magical potions, but nothing worked. Harry hesitated before continuing. But Lockhart said
01:13he had an idea. He claimed he encountered something similar in a place called Vega, something. No,
01:20I can't remember the name. Anyway, he said he used various amulets to help people solve the problem
01:26there. But I think he was bragging, Ron said with conviction from next to him. Remember? He said the
01:34same thing when we were on the third floor, but the place names were completely different. That doesn't
01:40mean anything, Hermione retorted. What if he encountered it twice? Hermione, do you actually
01:46believe all that stuff he says? Ron frowned in disapproval. He can't even handle house elves.
01:54Ron. Kyle quickly jumped in, noticing the two of them on the verge of arguing. He changed the subject.
02:03Did you find your pet? Oh, you mean Scabbers? Yeah, I found him. Ron pulled the plump rat out of his
02:11pocket. Guess what? He never ran outside at all. Turns out he was under the cabinet in the common
02:18room the whole time. He probably hadn't eaten in ages, though, he looked a bit out of it. It's okay,
02:26I have some rat tonic here. Kyle took out a small bottle filled with red liquid and handed it to Ron.
02:32Thanks, Kyle. Ron accepted it eagerly. Kyle had given him a bottle of the same rat tonic last year,
02:41and it had worked wonders. Every time Scabbers drank it, he seemed to perk right up, though the
02:47bottle was small, and Ron had run out long ago, too embarrassed to ask for more. You're welcome.
02:54I should be thanking you for satisfying my curiosity. Kyle waved a hand dismissively.
03:00It's just a bottle of rat tonic, no big deal. Just come find me when you need more.
03:07Then he turned to Harry again. Potter. Just call me Harry. All right, Harry.
03:15Kyle lowered his voice. Have you heard any strange noises lately? Strange noises? What do you mean?
03:24Kyle clarified, I mean whispers that only you can hear, but no one else does.
03:28Harry scratched his head, thinking hard. No. I only heard letters talking when I was helping
03:36Lockhart answer his fan mail. But Lockhart heard it too, he said it was a special way of replying
03:42that saves reading time, and apparently, loads of his admirers use it. So it wasn't any kind of
03:49strange whispering, was it? Kyle nodded, understanding. From this, he gathered that Harry probably hadn't
03:57heard the basilisk's voice. However, the issue of petrification, which even Dumbledore couldn't
04:03solve, was probably related to the basilisk. And then there was the unexplained disappearance
04:09of the diary. As these problems mounted, Kyle felt increasingly overwhelmed. He still hadn't figured
04:16out how the diary could have gone missing. Kyle had briefly considered Ron's rat, Scabbers,
04:22who was really Peter Pettigrew in disguise. But that seemed unlikely. Peter was hiding as a pet rat,
04:30and even Ron had no idea he held a horcrux in his possession, so it was improbable Peter would know
04:35either. Even if Peter did somehow know about it, Kyle was always careful. The mokeskin pouch that held
04:42the suitcase never left his side, and even at night, Ratton stayed by his pillow. How could a rat sneak
04:49in, steal something so significant, and leave no trace? It wasn't that Kyle underestimated Peter's
04:56abilities, but if Pettigrew really had that level of skill, he wouldn't have stayed hidden as a pet rat
05:01with the Weasleys for over a decade. Kyle also considered the possibility of a time-turner, but his
05:07applications had been rejected by the Department of Mysteries twice already. Even Dumbledore hadn't
05:13been able to borrow one, let alone him. Besides, why would he, or anyone else, go back in time just
05:20to steal his own belongings? And who had released the basilisk that petrified Filch, was it him,
05:26or was it Riddle? Kyle's head was spinning with questions. Meanwhile, Harry and the others noticed
05:33Kyle had grown uncharacteristically quiet, sitting still and lost in thought. If not for the occasional
05:40change in his expression and the way his hand absently cut his steak, they might have thought
05:44he'd been petrified, too. Ron reached out to nudge Kyle's arm, but Hermione stopped him.
05:51Ron, Kyle's thinking about something. Don't interrupt him, she whispered.
05:56All right, Ron muttered, unbothered. Instead, he stretched across the table to grab two more
06:03drumsticks. About ten minutes later, Kyle finally seemed to snap out of it, sighing deeply as he
06:10rubbed his forehead, deciding to let it go for now. What were you thinking about? Harry asked
06:16curiously. What kind of dark magic could have done that to Filch, Kyle replied casually. Harry's
06:23curiosity was piqued. Did you think of anything? Not really, Kyle shrugged. The petrification charm
06:31came to mind, but Dumbledore would have easily been able to counter that. Oh. I see. Harry looked
06:39a little disappointed. So, why were you on the third floor? Kyle asked suddenly, just as he took
06:46another bite of steak. Were you heading straight back to Gryffindor Tower? I thought you'd have gone to
06:52the great hall to grab something to eat first. We only ended up there after chasing moaning Myrtle,
06:59Harry explained with a sigh. We accidentally said something in the dungeon that upset her,
07:04and she started following us, so we tried to catch up and explain. And that's when we ran into
07:10petrified Filch and that bloody cat, Ron added, gingerly touching a small cut on his face.
07:15That cat's been tailing us ever since we left the dungeon. When we got to the third floor,
07:22she must have thought we were responsible for Filch's petrification and scratched me good.
07:26If you ask me, I should have just used my wand right then. Ron, we can't do that, Harry said
07:33seriously. Running into a petrified Filch was bad enough, if we'd hurt Mrs. Norris, we'd never be able
07:40to explain it. I know. Ron muttered under his breath. But why do we have to put up with all this?
07:48That cat really hurt when it scratched me. You're right, Harry agreed, glancing at his own arm,
07:55where there were faint, light scratches. He and Hermione had been a bit luckier,
08:00managing to escape with only minor scrapes. Madam Pomfrey had applied a healing ointment on them in
08:06Lockhart's office, which stopped the bleeding immediately. By the time they'd woken up that
08:11morning, the scratches were almost healed, and by tomorrow, they would probably be completely gone.
08:17Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 297, The Legend of the Chamber
08:22For several days in a row, the topic of conversation around the castle was surprisingly consistent.
08:28The students couldn't seem to talk about anything else and spent the entire day discussing the attack
08:33on Filch. Filch had been taken to the hospital wing, with Mrs. Norris by his side, keeping a vigilant
08:40watch over him. Some students had hoped that life might be easier without this annoying duo around.
08:47For instance, they imagined being able to talk loudly in the corridors and pull pranks without
08:52fearing someone would pop out of nowhere, yelling for them to be sent to the dungeons. However,
08:57they soon realized they'd been too optimistic. The professors took over Filch's duties, patrolling
09:04the castle and catching rulebreakers at every turn, handing out detentions and deducting points.
09:10They were even tougher to deal with than Filch had been, the little tricks that worked against him
09:14were completely useless on the professors. Within days, the point totals for all four houses had
09:20dropped significantly. Even worse, the cleaning of the castle now fell to those who broke the rules,
09:26and they weren't allowed to use magic. Just the other day, Kyle had spotted Fred and George lugging
09:33around a large pile of cleaning supplies, scrubbing the words off the walls on the third floor.
09:39From the way they were muttering, it sounded like they actually missed Filch.
09:43The Chamber of Secrets had also become a hot topic. Every copy of Hogwarts, a history had been
09:49checked out of the library. They're just wasting their time, said Cedric, glancing around the great hall
09:56at the younger students flipping through pages. I remember clearly that the Chamber of Secrets
10:01isn't mentioned in that book at all. Did you memorize the whole thing? Mikel asked in disbelief.
10:08Of course not, that would be impossible, Cedric replied, shaking his head. But I've read enough to
10:15know. There's nothing about the Chamber of Secrets, not a single mention. Oh, I was hoping to borrow it
10:22from Millicent after she finished reading it, Mikel sighed, looking disappointed. It seemed he
10:27was also quite intrigued by the Chamber of Secrets. After breakfast, they left the castle and headed to
10:34Greenhouse 3. Professor Sprout was a kind witch, always smiling, and her herbology class was one of
10:41the most popular at Hogwarts. Today, they were learning how to extract beans from the puffer
10:46pot. It was trickier than it looked, if they didn't apply the right amount of pressure, the beans would
10:52burst instantly. Controlling the force required careful precision. Don't rush it, you have to apply
10:59pressure gradually, Professor Sprout instructed. It's a process. And don't touch the leaves or the
11:06young shoots, or they'll get angry. Just as she was explaining, a Hufflepuff girl raised her hand.
11:13Do you have a question, Miss Bode? Professor Sprout asked kindly. Professor, could you tell us about
11:20the Chamber of Secrets? And who this heir is? Everyone looked up with interest. Mikel was so eager
11:28that he nearly pulled his puffer pot out of its pot, causing it to spray a cloud of pink beans right
11:33into his face. He yelped in surprise. Professor Sprout blinked. Miss Bode, you're not the first
11:41to ask me that, she said with a soft smile. Every student has asked me the same question in every
11:47class recently. After a moment's thought, she said, if you finish early, I'll tell you what I know,
11:54just some rumors. At this, the students lowered their heads, quickly refocusing on their work.
12:00The chatter died down, and even the student handling the dragon dung fertilizer set it
12:06aside to carefully work on the puffer pot. Ten minutes before the end of class,
12:11the last student finally finished. Well then, Professor Sprout said, her mouth curling into
12:17a small smile as she surveyed the greenhouse, now filled with puffer pot flowers. Although the
12:23student success rate was a bit low, each of them had managed to complete the task at least once,
12:28and there were no instances of intentional failure. So, she decided to keep her promise.
12:34Of course, it's just a legend, a bit ridiculous, even, she began. Let me see, the Chamber of Secrets.
12:43It all began a thousand years ago, with the founding of Hogwarts. For the next ten minutes,
12:49Professor Sprout recounted how Hogwarts was founded and the growing conflicts among the four founders,
12:54particularly their differing views on which students should be admitted. After a heated argument,
13:00Salazar Slytherin left the school. She paused at this point. That's all that's recorded.
13:08Hogwarts, a history mentions it as well, if you're interested. As for the Chamber of Secrets,
13:14she went on, it belongs to the realm of peculiar legends. It said that Slytherin built a hidden chamber
13:20in the castle, one unknown to the other founders. Supposedly, if his true heir were to open it,
13:26a monster inside would be unleashed to purify the school by eliminating those deemed unworthy of
13:32learning magic. The bell rang to signal the end of class, but the greenhouse remained completely silent.
13:39No one moved, they all stared at Professor Sprout, clearly hoping she would continue.
13:44Well, back to the castle with you, that's all I know, said Professor Sprout, holding the greenhouse
13:51door open. In my opinion, though, it's all nonsense. Salazar Slytherin may have been able to hide the
13:58chamber from the other two founders, but he could never have fooled Rowena Ravenclaw. And most importantly,
14:05even in his angriest moments, Slytherin only wanted to expel certain students, not harm them.
14:10At her urging, the students slowly filed out of the greenhouse.
14:16I knew it. Slytherin has to be connected to the Chamber of Secrets, Ryan said to Kyle and Kanda.
14:23That second year Malfoy was strutting around like he knew something, and Flint too. I bet they're both
14:29aware of the Chamber of Secrets. Unfortunately, they weren't willing to tell us anything, Mikkel added
14:35with a sigh. If only we could sneak into the Slytherin common room, maybe we'd overhear
14:40something useful. If you're serious about it. Kyle said with a sly grin, I actually have some Slytherin
14:48scarves and decorations. If you disguise yourselves a bit, you might just blend in. We could try.
14:56Mikkel considered the idea, then frowned. But I don't know their password.
15:01That's easy, Kyle replied casually. It's usually something like, pure blood, glory, eternity,
15:09or power. You just have to try a few combinations. Or, you could slip in with a group. Go after
15:17breakfast on the weekend, when there are the most people around. No one will notice. That's
15:23brilliant. I wouldn't even need the password. Mikkel's face lit up with excitement. He touched
15:31his red and swollen cheek, still sore from where the puffapod had burst on him. He'd originally
15:36thought about getting some ointment for it, but now it seemed unnecessary. With the way he looked
15:42now, even a few Hufflepuffs might not recognize him, let alone the Slytherins. This was a rare
15:48opportunity. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 298, the sneaky trio back at the castle,
15:56Kyle and his friends navigated the crowded corridors, heading to their next Transfiguration
16:01class. Over the past two days, students have been constantly asking about the Chamber of Secrets
16:07in nearly every class. But unlike Professor Sprout, the other professors weren't as tolerant.
16:13In Transfiguration, a Gryffindor girl raised her hand during Professor McGonagall's lecture,
16:19only to be cut off before she could even utter the words, Chamber of Secrets.
16:24Ten points will be deducted from Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall said, lips pursed tightly.
16:30Miss Bell, I would suggest you focus more on your studies and less on such idle legends.
16:35If I recall correctly, you still haven't managed to turn a button into a beetle.
16:39That was the assignment from our first lesson, and now Halloween has already passed.
16:45At this rate, you might not even earn an acceptable on your exam.
16:50Katie Bell flushed deeply and slouched back in her seat, her head bowed.
16:55With her as an example, no one else dared to broach the subject.
16:58But while the Gryffindors bit their tongues, Hufflepuff students felt no need to ask,
17:04they'd already heard the whole story from Professor Sprout.
17:08Watching their Gryffindor classmates remain clueless, the Hufflepuffs couldn't help but feel a small,
17:14smug sense of superiority.
17:16So much for being a Gryffindor.
17:19When class ended, Kyle intended to head straight to the Great Hall for lunch.
17:23But as he reached the first floor, he was startled by a rapid series of, crackling, sounds from above.
17:30He recognized those sounds all too well, the signature blasts of props being triggered in moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
17:37Without hesitation, Kyle turned and sprinted up the stairs, drawing his wand and readying his suitcase as he went.
17:44Could it be the diary's owner?
17:46Or, the basilisk?
17:48His heart pounded as he ran.
17:51If it was a person, fine, but if it was the basilisk, he wasn't sure if it would still obey him.
17:58And if it didn't, could Norbert, the Norwegian Ridgeback, handle it?
18:02With these thoughts racing through his mind, Kyle hurried down the corridor leading to Myrtle's bathroom.
18:08But as he arrived, he froze, surprised to see three familiar faces standing at the bathroom door.
18:15Harry, Hermione, Ron.
18:18Kyle asked, blinking in confusion.
18:21What are you doing here?
18:23The trio looked startled, clearly spooked by the string of explosions, and only fully registered Kyle's presence when he spoke.
18:31Harry turned around, flustered.
18:34We, we were just passing by, yeah, just passing by.
18:38As he spoke, Kyle noticed Hermione holding a large, ancient-looking book, which she quickly hid behind her back when she caught Kyle's gaze.
18:47Despite her attempt to conceal it, he caught a glimpse of the word, potions, on the cover.
18:53Judging by the look of it, he guessed it was most potenti potions, a rare, advanced potions book.
19:00Kyle happened to own a handwritten copy of it himself, tucked away in his suitcase.
19:04He didn't press her on it, though.
19:08Instead, seeing their soot-streaked faces, he felt a wave of relief.
19:13Thank goodness it's not the basilisk.
19:15Whether you were, just passing by, or not, I think you should run, Kyle said, glancing over his shoulder.
19:22We just finished transfiguration, and Professor McGonagall hasn't gone far yet.
19:28Professor McGonagall.
19:30The trio's eyes went wide, looking as if they'd been caught red-handed.
19:35If she finds out we blew up the bathroom.
19:38Ron muttered, trailing off.
19:41Ron, we didn't blow up the bathroom.
19:44Hermione corrected him.
19:46We just opened the door, we didn't even go inside.
19:50I know, but Professor McGonagall doesn't know that.
19:53Shut up and run.
19:55Apparently, they'd learn from their Halloween experience.
19:59Without a moment's hesitation, the three of them bolted.
20:03As they dashed past Kyle, Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't forget to thank him.
20:09Thanks for the tip, Kyle.
20:11We're off.
20:12The three reached the stairs in record time and hurried towards Gryffindor Tower.
20:18Just as they rounded a corner, a tabby cat leapt lightly onto the nearby handrail.
20:24Its amber eyes scanned the hallway before spotting Kyle and the smoky mess around the bathroom.
20:29The tabby cat then jumped off the rail, transforming midair into Professor McGonagall.
20:35So this is where the noise came from.
20:38She muttered.
20:39She stepped into the bathroom and gasped.
20:42My goodness, what on earth happened here?
20:46Was someone practicing the exploding charm?
20:49Kyle leaned forward to take a look.
20:51In truth, Professor McGonagall was exaggerating a bit.
20:55Other than the walls, ceiling, and the corridor outside the bathroom door being blackened by smoke, there wasn't any real damage.
21:03Zonko's exploding textbooks might have caused a loud ruckus, but they were practically harmless, otherwise, Kyle would never have risked setting them up in the school.
21:13Professor McGonagall seemed to realize this too, though her irritation didn't fade.
21:18Professor McGonagall, I came because I heard a noise, Kyle quickly said.
21:24She nodded, giving him an assessing look.
21:26Was anyone else here when you arrived?
21:30There were three of them, Kyle said, gesturing toward the stairs.
21:34They ran down the stairs as I was arriving.
21:37Who were they?
21:39Professor McGonagall asked, her lips tight.
21:43Kyle pointed to the darkened wall and replied,
21:45Their faces were as black as this wall, so I couldn't see them clearly.
21:50Professor McGonagall glanced from the bathroom wall to the corridor outside, where three distinct human silhouettes had been outlined in the smoke.
21:58She seemed to piece something together, and a faint smile softened her usually stern expression.
22:04One of Zonko's items, no doubt.
22:07She decided not to pursue the culprits further.
22:09With a quick flick of her wand, she restored the bathroom to its pristine state, then dispersed the growing crowd of students drawn by the noise, many of whom feared another attack like the one on Filch.
22:22Myrtle remained silent and inconspicuous throughout the process, and it wasn't until Professor McGonagall left that she cautiously poked her head out from her stall.
22:31So, three annoying people driven off.
22:34I didn't think those things you put in here would actually work, she said to Kyle with a hint of admiration.
22:41What did you think they were for?
22:43Kyle whispered as he walked back toward the great hall, glancing at Myrtle.
22:48Just old books you didn't want.
22:50Myrtle replied.
22:52Will you put more in?
22:54Of course, he assured her.
22:57Kyle had picked up quite a haul of Zonko's tricks on his last Hogsmeade trip, including the exploding textbooks.
23:03There had only been two copies, but judging by the earlier commotion, they were more than enough.
23:10By the time Kyle returned to the great hall, lunch was already underway.
23:15Professor McGonagall was at the head table, speaking with Professor Flittick.
23:20Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived even later, slipping in with their heads down midway through lunch.
23:25They'd clearly changed clothes, and as they walked, they tried to smooth out their still-rumpled hair.
23:33Professor McGonagall glanced at them from the head table, a faintly knowing look in her eye.
23:38The Quidditch match is tomorrow, Harris was saying to Cedric nearby.
23:43Gryffindor vs. Slytherin
23:44We'll finally get to see how those new broomsticks perform, and that new seeker.
23:50He was referring, of course, to Draco Malfoy, the only recent addition to the Slytherin team.
23:56Cedric nodded.
23:58I'll keep an eye on it.
24:00I just hope he's on the team because of those brooms, and not because he's some kind of seeker prodigy like Potter, Harris said, a note of unease in his voice.
24:09Seven brand new Nimbus 2001s were one thing, but if they were combined with a skilled seeker, the other three teams would be in serious trouble.
24:19Channel Dream Novel
24:20Chapter 299, Magic defeats Magic Kyle got up early on Saturday morning, eager to watch the upcoming Quidditch match.
24:29This season's schedule wasn't favorable to Gryffindor, they had to face the fully equipped Slytherin team right from the start.
24:35A lineup with all Nimbus 2001s, they might as well be up against a professional team.
24:42Given this, it was no wonder the Gryffindors were feeling low, even Fred and George didn't seem in the mood for jokes.
24:49When Kyle arrived in the Great Hall, he found the Gryffindor players clustered together around their long, empty table, looking tense and unusually quiet.
24:57Unsure what to say, he simply hurried over and gave both Fred and George a supportive pat on the shoulder as they were getting ready to head to the Quidditch pitch.
25:07Come on, if you win, you won't have to do that tap-dancing flight around the castle again, he said.
25:13Fred and George had been looking for an excuse to get out of that bed all year, especially with that shiny order of Merlin medallions to his name, yet they still hadn't followed through.
25:22The main issue was the absurdity of the moves they had planned, balancing three trophies on their heads while tap-dancing on a broomstick wasn't just tricky, it bordered on impossible.
25:33Even managing one of those feats would have been a stretch, let alone both.
25:38Fred's eyes brightened.
25:40Really?
25:41Of course, it's a deal, Kyle laughed.
25:45Honestly, your pep talks work way better than Woods, George said, leaning over.
25:50All he ever does is repeat the same stuff.
25:54George cleared his throat and mimicked Oliver Woods' voice with a grand gesture.
25:59Slytherin's broomsticks may be better than ours, but the players on our broomsticks are better than theirs.
26:05As if that isn't the most obvious thing, and he's our captain.
26:08But he is the captain, Fred shrugged.
26:12We've got to go along with it.
26:14With that, they began joking about Oliver from both sides, and their earlier dejected expressions disappeared entirely.
26:22Kyle even suspected they might have put on that sad act just to set him up for his comment.
26:27Hey, Kyle, your face says exactly what you're thinking, George said, raising an eyebrow.
26:33But we weren't faking.
26:36We really were nervous.
26:38Worried about losing the match.
26:41Until we put these on.
26:43Fred padded the scarlet and gold of his team jersey.
26:46And then we decided that if we win this time, we'll celebrate the same way.
26:51Not because of a bet, just to celebrate.
26:53With that, Fred and George laughed as they headed toward the changing rooms, and Kyle made his way to the stands.
27:01Cedric had already saved him a seat.
27:04What's the verdict?
27:06Cedric asked.
27:08They seem pretty confident, Kyle replied with a grin.
27:12Good.
27:13Cedric nodded.
27:15Down by the players' tunnel, Oliver Wood was leading out the rest of the team.
27:20Actually, I spoke with Hannah and Susan from the second year yesterday.
27:24Cedric said, glancing toward the Slytherin lineup across the field,
27:28and they both told me Draco Malfoy did poorly in flying lessons compared to Potter.
27:33Not surprising, Kyle said.
27:36If he could actually fly, there'd be no need to buy brooms for the whole team.
27:41Nimbus 2001s are outrageously expensive,
27:44and buying seven at once isn't exactly within reach for most people, even the Malfoys.
27:49Exactly, Mikel chimed in, pushing his way into the conversation.
27:54Apparently, Malfoy's allowance was cut in half because of those broomsticks.
27:59If that's the case, then Malfoy definitely bought his way onto the team, Cedric said, giving Mikel a skeptical look.
28:07But how do you even know that?
28:09Oh, I overheard him say it himself.
28:12Mikel patted his pocket absentmindedly, which was bulging with something.
28:17As the boys chatted, the match was about to begin.
28:21On my whistle, called Madame Hooch.
28:24Three, two, one.
28:27The crowd erupted in cheers as the 14 players soared into the gray sky.
28:32Harry quickly rose to the highest point, his gaze scanning for the golden snitch.
28:36But Malfoy was behaving differently.
28:40Instead of searching for the snitch, he seemed focused solely on Harry, flying beside him as if he were showing off.
28:47His behavior was oddly reminiscent of a foolper in a courtship display.
28:51And this continued for the first five minutes.
28:55What on earth is Malfoy doing?
28:57Cedric muttered, frowning.
29:00He's a seeker.
29:02Does he think Potter's hiding the golden snitch in his top pocket?
29:06Cedric grimaced, unable to keep watching as the bludgers whizzed dangerously close to both players.
29:12Harry quickly swerved to avoid them, but as the bludgers missed him, they zoomed directly toward Malfoy.
29:18As the bludger barreled closer, Malfoy seemed rooted to the spot, his face pale with disbelief.
29:25Seekers were supposed to watch out for bludgers only when they were trying to catch the snitch, weren't they?
29:31But the match had barely started, and there wasn't a snitch in sight.
29:35The bludger loomed larger and larger until it was nearly upon him, and Malfoy instinctively squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for impact.
29:43Yet, just as it was an inch from his face, the bludger veered off course and hurtled straight back toward Harry.
29:51Harry dodged again, but the bludger honed in on him once more, as though it had a mind of its own, refusing to pursue anyone else.
29:59Fred and George, noticing this, quickly flew to Harry's side, doing their best to shield him from the rogue bludger.
30:05Then, the rain started to fall.
30:09Someone's tampered with the bludger.
30:12Fred shouted as he knocked it away again.
30:15The spectators in the stands began to realize something was amiss.
30:19Marcus Flint scores.
30:22Slytherin leads, 50-0, announced Lee Jordan from the commentary stand.
30:27But what's going on with that bludger?
30:30How many galleons does Harry Potter owe it?
30:33Wood signaled to Madam Hooch.
30:36Finally, Oliver Wood has called a timeout.
30:39Lee announced.
30:41Frankly, he should have done that ages ago.
30:44Ideally before Harry Potter's skull became the bludger's personal target.
30:48The Gryffindor team huddled together to discuss a solution, while in the stands, Kyle, donning his waterproof and moisture-proof badge, searched the rain-swept field intently for something.
31:00Eventually, he spotted a faint, short figure lurking in the Slytherin player's tunnel.
31:05Excuse me, Kyle muttered as he pushed through the crowd.
31:09But instead of heading toward the Slytherin tunnel, he sprinted in the direction of the castle.
31:14A few minutes later, Kyle returned, accompanied by a house elf from the kitchen.
31:20The game had resumed, with the bludger still relentlessly chasing Harry around the pitch.
31:25Kaka, do you recognize that house elf?
31:29Kyle pointed to the tunnel.
31:31It looks like it's controlling the bludger somehow.
31:34Kaka doesn't know it, sir, the house elf shrieked.
31:38It's not from the kitchen staff.
31:40Bad elf, a very bad elf.
31:43Kaka will handle it.
31:45As Kaka glanced up at the crazed bludger still streaking across the sky, its large ears turned red, whether from fury or something else, Kyle couldn't tell.
31:54With a sharp pop, Kaka vanished from sight.
31:59A moment later, a small stool came tumbling out of the tunnel.
32:03Simultaneously, the bludger that had been trailing Harry abruptly changed course, hurtling straight toward Marcus Flint instead.
32:11Having watched the bludger doggedly pursue Harry up until now, the Slytherin captain assumed it would continue to do so and didn't even attempt to dodge.
32:20Bang!
32:21The bludger smashed into Flint's face with a sickening thud.
32:25His eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness, slipping from his broom.
32:30In the stands, Professor McGonagall reacted swiftly, raising her wand to keep Flint from hitting the ground directly.

32:40Harry's narrow escape since he couldn't be sure if the bludger's odd behavior would start up again, and with Slytherin's lead growing larger, Harry knew he needed to catch the golden snitch as soon as possible to end the game.
32:52Practicing ballet, Potter
32:54Malfoy jeered, flying right beside him.
32:58I didn't know you had that in you.
33:01Maybe you should join the skeletons.
33:03Harry was momentarily distracted by Malfoy's taunting and glanced back.
33:09But at that exact moment, he saw it, the golden snitch darted right between them.
33:14Without missing a beat, Harry took off in pursuit.
33:18Malfoy, a bit slower to react, scrambled to catch up.
33:22Thanks to his superior broom, the distance between them started to shrink.
33:27It's the snitch.
33:28Both Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy have seen it, they're speeding up.
33:34Lee Jordan's voice boomed from the commentary booth.
33:37The snitch just changed direction.
33:40Harry's closing in, less than two feet away, and Malfoy's dropping behind.
33:45Seems a fancy broom doesn't always cut it.
33:49Harry was inching closer to the snitch, his fingertips nearly brushing its wings, but then a bludger abruptly changed direction and hurtled toward him.
33:56This time, Harry didn't dodge.
34:00He let go of his broom and lunged forward, catching the snitch firmly in his hand.
34:06But at that same instant, the bludger smashed into his arm, breaking it.
34:10With a loud splash, Harry tumbled off his broom and landed in the muddy ground, his arm twisted at an unnatural angle.
34:17Cheers erupted from the stands, and Kyle grinned, it was the first time in three years he'd seen a whole season opener, and it had been worth it.
34:27As the crowd chanted Harry's name, Kyle spotted Dobby the house elf dashing away from the pitch, with caca in hot pursuit, wielding a cleaning broom and whacking Dobby repeatedly on the head.
34:37Apparently, this was the house elves' way of handling conflicts, straightforward and, well, brutish.
34:45Kyle raised an eyebrow, wondering if that final bludger's strange targeting had been Dobby's doing.
34:51If so, it was relentless.
34:54Poor Harry, though, Kyle had hoped he might escape without a broken arm.
34:58After the match, Madame Hooch moved Harry and Marcus Flint, who was also injured, to the edge of the pitch to be taken to the hospital wing.
35:07A crowd quickly gathered.
35:10Groggy, Harry blinked and saw a blurry row of what looked like gleaming teeth.
35:15Oh no, not you, he muttered under his breath.
35:18What do you say?
35:20Shall I fix that arm for you, announced Lockhart loudly to the crowd.
35:25Not to worry, I'm on it.
35:26He pulled out his wand.
35:30So, who shall we treat first?
35:32Harry, still half-dazed, managed to lift his uninjured hand and point shakily at Marcus Flint.
35:39H him, he's hurt worse.
35:42What a thoughtful lad, Lockhart said, dabbing at his eyes as though moved.
35:46Don't fret, I can heal you both in no time at all.
35:50Let's start with the closest one.
35:53He eyed Harry's injured arm.
35:55No.
35:56Harry exclaimed hastily.
35:59Really, just, leave it, it doesn't hurt at all, honestly.
36:04He struggled to sit up.
36:06Nonsense, you're talking gibberish from the pain.
36:10Lockhart replied with a grin, raising his wand.
36:13Just lie down.
36:14It's a simple spell, I've done it countless times.
36:19Professor Lockhart.
36:21Kyle pushed through the crowd and leaned in close to Lockhart.
36:25We all know you could handle it, he whispered, but let's leave this to Madame Pomfrey.
36:30Otherwise, she might run out of patience.
36:33Plus, everyone would love to hear your thoughts on the match.
36:37Oh, you're right.
36:39I wouldn't want to steal Poppy's thunder, Lockhart said, patting his head sheepishly.
36:45Apologies, I've tended to the injured so often on my travels, it's become second nature.
36:50I hope Poppy forgives me.
36:53But when it comes to Quidditch, you've come to the right expert, Lockhart added with a chuckle.
36:59The Appleby arrows asked me twice to join them, but I had to turn them down.
37:03I was saving villagers from Wagga Wagga werewolves at the time.
37:08Actually, they invited me again just this July, the day after Dumbledore visited me.
37:14If that letter had arrived two days sooner, I'd be on the Quidditch pitch right now.
37:19Lockhart's story drew murmurs and admiring glances from his fans, who still seemed plentiful
37:24despite everything.
37:26Lying on the ground, Harry felt immense relief.
37:30Thanks.
37:30He whispered gratefully to Kyle.
37:34Fred and George pushed through the crowd as well, and as Lockhart recounted his impressive,
37:39Quidditch credentials, they swiftly lifted Harry and hurried him off toward the hospital wing.
37:44Everything went smoothly, and it took Madame Pomfrey only a moment to reattach Harry's arm.
37:50She seemed a bit disgruntled, though.
37:53Every year someone gets hurt.
37:56This sport is too dangerous, I can't understand why Dumbledore hasn't banned it yet,
38:00she muttered, thrusting a potion bottle into Harry's hands.
38:05Drink this, it'll help with your recovery.
38:08Harry accepted the potion without a word and took a cautious sip.
38:12Although he'd braced himself, the taste nearly overwhelmed him, it was like the Desley's pot
38:17scrubbing liquid.
38:19He choked slightly but managed to keep it down.
38:21I thought they said there were two injured, Madame Pomfrey remarked, looking around.
38:27Why is it only you?
38:29No sooner had she spoken than a group of Slytherins arrived, carrying Marcus Flint into the hospital
38:35wing.
38:36The animosity between the teams was clear, the Slytherins glared daggers at the Gryffindor
38:41players.
38:41However, with Madame Pomfrey present, they kept silent, settling Marcus on the hospital
38:47bed farthest from Harry.
38:49A broken nose, and several teeth missing.
38:53Madame Pomfrey examined Marcus with a frown.
38:56Dumbledore really should ban this reckless sport.
38:59Madame Pomfrey, Quidditch isn't actually that dangerous, Malfoy started to protest, but
39:05one look from Madame Pomfrey shut him up.
39:07After his recent stay in the hospital wing, Malfoy had developed a bit of a phobia of
39:12Madame Pomfrey.
39:14Her potions were worse than slug juice, and just the thought made him feel queasy.
39:19He glanced at the door, his pale face turning even paler.
39:23Any urge to mock Harry quickly vanished, he wanted nothing more than to leave before Madame
39:28Pomfrey noticed him.
