Chapter 183 Directional Spell Tracker
"... We had to make a decision and that was the only way we were going to win without John."
"I know that this will give us more time to prepare for the game and the opportunity to observe Gryffindor's style of play. But I don't understand...how can we avoid the first game with Gryffindor? You know Yes, the Quidditch match is on Saturday and we don't have time."
"Draco, it's easy, just pretend you broke your leg during training."
"No, I think it would be better to just break the leg. This way it will be safer."
Listening to the discussion between the two seventh-year Slytherin prefects, Draco's expression gradually became horrified.
He really wanted to win the game, but at the same time he didn't want to break his leg.
At this moment, he saw John and Alice walking into the lounge together.
"John!"
Draco's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Only you can save my leg now!"
"What are you talking about?"
John asked confused.
And when he figured out what happened, a narrow smile broke out on his face.
"I don't think you need to do this at all."
Hearing what John said, Draco breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, John said, "Because even if your plan succeeds, you will still not be Harry's opponent."
Draco's smile froze.
The two Slytherin prefects beside him also sighed helplessly.
Their thoughts were actually similar to John's. Even with the advantages in equipment, Draco was still a little dissatisfied when facing a seeker like Harry Potter.
The reason why they still want to make small moves to avoid the war is just for the slim possibility.
Anyway, they are not the ones with broken legs.
John spoke precisely because he saw this. He didn't want to see Draco sacrifice for someone else's honor.
"So, you really want to win the Quidditch Cup this year?"
Alice, who had been silent beside her, suddenly said
Her opening instantly attracted everyone's attention.
And she continued with a slight smile:
"Maybe I can help you."
"You really can't tell," John said sarcastically, "that the noble Miss Alice Lopez is also a Quidditch expert!"
Alice glared at John and said:
"How about you come? I've heard people say that you are the most skilled Quidditch player in Hogwarts."
"Your provocation method is of no use to me," John said with a smile, "I have been Professor Snape's material assistant for more than two years, and my heart has long been as cold as my material peeling knife."
As soon as these words came out, Alice was stunned.
Draco and the prefects on the side also lowered their heads.
John said again:
"Don't throw random tricks at them. If you get caught cheating... Slytherin can't afford to lose that person!"
"You knew I would definitely teach them to cheat?"
"can not you do it?"
Alice did not retort this time, but smiled.
John smiled and looked at him.
After a while, Alice explained:
"Do you know the [Orientation Spell]? That kind of charm can be used as a compass. I can make a gadget to point it fixedly at the Golden Snitch."
Draco shook his head and said:
"This won't work. The latest version of Quidditch's rules list clearly states that it is not allowed to use it on the Golden Snitch..."
"Use the [Auto-Tracking Spell], [Marking Spell] and other spells to search and search, right?" Alice said with a smile, "I have also read that catalog, and it didn't say that you cannot use the [Direction Spell]. "
Draco's expression was slightly stunned upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something.
Alice continued:
"Quidditch is a sport that can be played without any prohibition. We can use all the techniques they haven't written into the rule book. Of course, that includes what I said, using [directional spells].
In this way, even if they are discovered, they can still rematch.
The most they can do is submit an application to the Department of Magical Sports and Sports later to list [Direction Curse] as a forbidden Quidditch curse.
But this kind of application takes time. During this time, it should be enough for you to win a few games. "
As Alice spoke, Draco and the two prefects' breathing became heavier.
Both the Quidditch Cup and the Academy Cup are important honors to them.
The latter was particularly important to the two prefects.
They also want to complete the 'College Cup Grand Slam' achievement of their seniors.
John, on the other hand, thought of other uses for this 'directional spell tracker'.
He pondered for a while, then met Alice's gaze and suddenly asked:
"This 'directional spell tracker' you mentioned, can it be used to find other things?"
"Of course, in theory, any object can be used." Alice explained, "The premise is that you can get a part of the object, whether it is debris or other things, just a little bit will be fine.
Its disadvantage is that if the item is hidden using special protective magic, such as the [Red Heart Loyalty Spell], it will cause the [Special Orientation Spell] to become ineffective.
At the same time, its search range is not large.
What, you also have needs in this area?
Well, since we are partners, I can give you a discount. "
"What?" the male prefect next to him said in shock, "You still want to charge?"
Alice glanced at him contemptuously and said:
"There is no free lunch in this world."
"Then how much do you want to charge?"
Draco asked again hurriedly, he thought he still had some money.
But Alice ignored him this time and stared at John.
It was as if she wanted to do business with John more than Draco and the prefects.
John knew exactly what she was thinking.
She just wanted to kill him severely so that she could vent her anger.
John really needs Alice's 'Direction Spell Tracker', which should give him a lot of help in the hunt for Sirius Black.
But he is not a fool, and he will not pay for it just because Alice draws a pie for him.
At least, he also wants to see the actual effectiveness of the 'directional spell tracker'.
Thinking this, John smiled and looked at Alice.
The two just stared at each other in silence.
After a long time, Alice seemed to understand what John meant.
She nodded towards John with a half-smile, then looked at Draco and said:
"Now, let's talk about the price of the 'Direction Spell Tracker'."
After saying that, Alice entered the conversation room next to the common room first, and then made an invitation gesture to Draco.
Draco subconsciously walked inside, but couldn't help but look back at John every step of the way.
Unfortunately, John had no intention of stopping him.
Instead, he went directly back to his dormitory and wrote a letter to contact Mr. Bojin to discuss the acquisition of Acromantula venom.
This gave Draco a bad feeling.
All the pocket money I had saved so hard would be wiped out this time.
But even so, as long as we can defeat Po Te in Saturday's game!
"For the glory of Slytherin! For the glory of the Malfoy family! I will definitely do it!"
Draco clenched his fists and muttered.
