Chapter 0062 A Quick Victory and Penelope's Goodwill

_____________________________________________________________

The discussion about Nicolas Flamel ended in a disagreement among the four, however, soon Ron and Harry approached Ye Ting again, hoping that he would be there to watch the game on the day of the match.

"Help," Ron pleaded with a red face, "Harry is about to play in a Quidditch match, and this time Snape has applied to be the referee, which he did on purpose, just to get Harry killed. Only you can deal with him. You did it last time."

"How many times have I said that Snape can't hurt Harry." Ye Ting waved his hand somewhat impatiently: "Snape has been a professor at Hogwarts for many years, and Dumbledore would not let a dangerous man stay at Hogwarts for so long."

He left with quick steps, leaving behind a disappointed Ron and Harry.

"He did it on purpose."

Suddenly, Ron said pointedly, "He's jealous of you, Harry."

"He's... jealous of me."

Harry looked at Ron blankly.

"He's jealous of me for what?"

"He's jealous of your Quidditch skills." Ron was getting more and more excited as he spoke.

"He's led Ravenclaw to two straight wins, and all that's left in their way is Gryffindor. You and he are both geniuses who joined the team in the first year. Your Quidditch skills are the key to Gryffindor's victory. He's afraid of you."

"He... wouldn't think so."

Harry looked at Ron skeptically, but he vaguely agreed, because if this statement came true, it would prove that he was a very important opponent for Ravenclaw's "Quidditch Rising Star", Ye Ting.

"He wants Snape to get you killed in Quidditch, or at least break your leg."

Ron yelled, "That way you won't be a threat to him."

"No, I don't believe he would do that, he's a good man."

Harry shook his head and finally suppressed the tempting thought.

In the first week of March, Gryffindor's math against Hufflepuff began.

Ye Ting didn't go to the game. His new flying broom that he bought had arrived, and he was now dismantling it with Penelope at the Room of Requirement for research. Although Penelope was not as good as he was, she was happy to be involved as his assistant and hoped to learn something from it.

As the team's chaser, Cho Chang watched the game along with the rest of the team, hoping to find Gryffindor's weaknesses from it.

Dumbledore was also there to watch the game, seemingly to prevent Harry from having another accident, which was an instant relief to Harry.

Snape was extremely malicious towards Gryffindor and favored Hufflepuff as referee.

An angry George Weasley hit a stray ball at Snape, and he seized the opportunity and awarded Hufflepuff a penalty shot.

However, despite Snape's best efforts, he could not stop Gryffindor from winning.

Because the game ended in only five minutes, and before both teams could get into shape, Harry Potter had already caught the golden snitch.

The stands were abuzz: this was a new record. No one remembered when the Golden Snitch was caught.

As the Gryffindors crowded into the field, Harry saw Snape right next to him, his face white and his lips pursed tight.

An hour later, Harry left the locker room alone to return his Nimbus 2000 to the broom shed he suddenly found that Snape was sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest while the others were eating dinner.

Curiously, Harry jumped back on his broom and followed him.

In the Forbidden Forest he found Snape threatening Professor Quirrell and mentioning the Philosopher's Stone, and Hagrid's three-headed dog.

Now, his suspicion of Snape grew deeper.

...

Just when Harry was worryingly exploring Snape's plot, Ye Tinge was still conducting his research on the flying broom.

In the past few days, he and Penelope had skipped all their classes together and stayed in the Room of Requirement - both of them were the best students, and the professors always turned a blind eye to this as long as they could guarantee a good final grade.

At this moment, the Room of Requirement has been transformed into a carpenter's workshop, full of broom handles, broken branches, stands, and various parts of flying brooms.

In order to better understand the operation mechanism and actual effect of the various magic spells in the flying brooms, Ye Ting bought all the models of flying brooms available in the market - including all kinds of old brooms that had become obsolete.

Now he was sitting on a chair, holding a Comet 260 in his hand, skillfully disassembling it with his wand, while next to him, Penelope was labeling all the disassembled parts and arranging them together in different categories.

. . .

Not far from the wall, the broom handles of various flying brooms were neatly arranged, and elsewhere there were various thin branches, various footrests, various broom tails, etc. Penelope carefully put them in order.

"How long is this job going to take."

Finally, a slightly impatient Penelope broke the silence by retying her headscarf - to keep the wood chips out of her hair - and continued, "I feel like we've been doing this all day. "

"It's a necessary preparation before research."

Ye Ting handed over yet another bare broom handle and replied blandly, "I need a large enough database to serve as a control group so that I could accurately determine the effects of the magic spell on every aspect of the broom, and the disadvantage of an inadequate control group is..."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Penelope looked helplessly at Ye Ting who was giving a serious explanation and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What a serious guy, don't you know? When girls complain, we don't want you to explain, but to seek comfort from you. At this time, you just need to say something nice and coaxing."

"Is that so?"

Ye Ting looked at Penelope with some bewilderment.

"Then in that case, why do you need to ask questions? Why don't you just say it?"

Seeing Ye Ting like this, Penelopefelt angry and funny. Usually, Ye Ting looked very mature in dealing with others, even though she herself would appear childish in front of him, but when it comes to emotions he is completely inadequate.

"Girls are like this. You have to express a sentence around the corner. In fact, you have to think that the other person can understand. This kind of tacit understanding is the romance that girls pursue."

"Is that so?"

Ye Ting nodded in understanding.

"But senior sister is so generous and understanding, she's not such a superficial person, right?"

It was just said that he was not good at emotions.

This is a good understanding.

Penelope glanced at the busy Ye Ting, with an appreciative smile at the corners of her mouth.

Yes, for her, ordinary sweet words are not very attractive. What fascinates her most is the wisdom shown by Ye Ting showed wisdom and the sense of responsibility that he seems to have.
