Bab 62: Chapter 62: With the big sister protecting me, I don't panic at all!
The Christmas holiday always went by quickly, and on the day before school started, Hermione returned to Hogwarts Castle.
Not long after the holiday, the Hogwarts Quidditch event was coming again. This time, Gryffindor was playing against Hufflepuff. Since the Gryffindor Quidditch team had beaten Slytherin, as long as they could beat Hufflepuff, they could beat Slytherin in the House Cup Championship and win the championship.
Irina, Hermione, and Ron were all cheering for Harry's training.
However, after learning that the referee of this game was Professor Snape, Hermione and Ron's attitudes immediately changed.
In the eyes of Hermione and Ron, it was Professor Snape who had cast a spell on Harry in the last game, and this time Professor Snape was the referee and was probably going to attack Harry.
Hermione said to Harry: "Don't participate in the game!"
Ron replied: "Just say you are sick!"
Hermione suggested: "Pretend to break your leg!"
Ron suggested: "Really break your leg!"
The other three immediately looked at Ron. You want Harry to really break his leg. Are you a traitor?!
"I can't do this," Harry said helplessly. "Our Gryffindor Quidditch team has never had a substitute Seeker. If I quit, the Gryffindor Quidditch team may not even be able to participate in the game!"
Just as Hermione and Ron were worried about Harry and Irina was slacking off, Neville ran into the Gryffindor common room.
At this time, Neville's legs were tightly pressed together. It was obvious that he had been cast under a Leg-Locker Curse. If no one helped, he might have jumped up like a rabbit.
"Who did it?!"
Irina stood up, her face cold.
Half a school year had passed, Neville had already become her friend, and she naturally could not ignore the attack on her friend.
"What's going on?" Hermione quickly cast the counter-curse to break the Leg-Locker Curse on Neville, then led Neville over and asked him to sit down.
Neville said in a trembling voice: "Malfoy did it, I met him outside the library, he said he had been looking for someone to practice that spell on..."
Irina did not speak, she pulled Neville and walked out of the common room.
"Hey, hey, hey, Irina, what are you doing?" Neville was confused.
Irina said angrily: "Remember, Neville, I never allow others to bully my friends! Of course, you should never tolerate anyone bullying you, you have to be brave! Come on, I'll take you to confront Malfoy!"
Hearing this, Harry and Ron, who were not far away, immediately followed excitedly.
Without waiting for Neville to say anything, Harry and Ron each carried Neville on one side and followed Irina's steps.
Under Neville's guidance, Irina found Malfoy, who looked very proud, not far from the library. He seemed to be very proud of having successfully teased Neville.
"Stand still!"
Irina raised her wand without hesitation and cast a spell.
Malfoy's legs immediately stuck together, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Lowell, you are looking for a beating!"
Malfoy, who was cursed, was so angry that he raised his wand and wanted to attack Irina.
"Expelliarmus!"
Irina swung her wand and cast the Disarming Charm without giving Malfoy a chance to react.
The red light bombarded Malfoy, knocking him back, and the wand in Malfoy's hand flew out and landed in Irina's hand.
"Hit him, Neville!"
Irina looked at Neville, pointed at Malfoy who was lying on the ground, and said.
Neville was a little timid: "I dare not..."
Irina patted Neville's shoulder hard: "What's so scary, isn't it Malfoy?! Remember, if you keep giving in, Malfoy will only get worse. Only when he understands what pain is and stays away from you, you will not be bullied!"
As she said, Irina pushed Neville forward and in front of Malfoy.
Neville raised his huge fist, but he was still a little at a loss and didn't dare to really do it.
"Longbottom...you...how dare you do it to me?!" Looking at the dark fists above his head, Malfoy was a little panicked.
Hearing this, Neville immediately shrank his neck and dared not to do anything again.
"Hit him, Neville!"
"That's right, hit him!"
But at this moment, Harry and Ron cheered on the side, encouraging Neville.
Hearing the encouragement from his good friends, Neville finally made up his mind. He closed his eyes and punched Malfoy again and again.
"Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~"
Malfoy's shrill screams came out immediately, as if he was dubbed by a Tom Cat.
After an unknown amount of time, Neville carefully retreated to his original position, leaving only Malfoy lying on the ground with a bruised face.
"Malfoy, stay away from Neville in the future, otherwise we will beat you every time we see you!"
Relying on Irina's presence, Ron said with a false sense of bravado.
After that, everyone took Neville back to the Gryffindor common room.
Goyle and Crabbe, who were hiding far away, saw everyone go away, and then they stepped forward carefully to help Malfoy up.
"Boss!"
"Boss, are you okay?!"
Goyle and Crabbe shook Malfoy.
"Stop!" Malfoy stopped the two and said harshly, "Don't shake me, I'm going to vomit if you shake me again! Damn it, damn Lowell, damn Longbottom, I must tell my father!"
...
At the same time, in the Gryffindor common room.
"Irina, you seem to have become much stronger! I remember that you only used the Freezing Charm to subdue people before!"
Hermione, who had been silent before, said to Irina.
Although beating Malfoy violently was to avenge Neville, it was ultimately fighting violence with violence, and Hermione neither supported nor opposed it.
After all, this was all for her good friend Neville.
Irina smiled and hugged Hermione: "All spells are universal. I can cast the Freezing Charm without a wand. It is naturally not difficult to cast other spells!"
In fact, Irina still concealed some things. After she learned to cast the Freezing Charm without a wand, her Disarming Charm and other offensive spells were able to be cast silently.
Like Lynn, although she had revealed her trump card of casting the Freezing Charm without a wand, she still intended to keep the ability to cast other spells silently as her trump card.
Irina looked at Harry and said, "Harry, you can go to your Quidditch game without worry. If Professor Snape wants to hurt you, I will cast a Disarming Charm!"
Harry nodded vigorously, his eyes full of admiration.
In the eyes of Harry and others, Irina had long been their big sister!
With the big sister covering you, you don't have to panic when encountering things!
