Hogwarts: The Founder Reborn

Chapter 89 Sirius' Wallet Crisis



Gryffindor teams don’t recruit new players very often, but this year is very different, mainly because Oliver Wood decided to try Rowena’s level. After all, the twins-George and Fred, they often play in Wood He talked about his sister in his ear.

"She's good at Quidditch! When George and I played with her, we couldn't stop her from hitting the ball. You'll like her!"

Oliver thinks that if this is the case, it is not impossible to give it a try.

But if you recruit one person alone, it doesn't sound good, and it will make others question that you are just too close to the Weasley twins, which is unfair, so Oliver decided to recruit all the staff. , Even the reserve players are also very good.

"As you all know, I'm graduating this year. This is my last Quidditch match. I want to win the championship, very much." Oliver looked at everyone. "So, this recruitment is very important, so that I can add some players after my graduation, and I can also face people from other colleges with new faces."

"Fred's words touched me. Those people are already very familiar with our existing players. Maybe a new face can catch us by surprise!"

Everyone nodded, thinking that it was not impossible.

"Especially, I think we can find another goalkeeper, and I can teach him or her my experience before I leave, but this year I want to get the Quidditch trophy!"

Oliver said very sincerely: "We have the best team!"

Harry was said to be very nervous. He had seen Oliver's training plan. He had to say that it was a bit harsh, but considering Oliver's mood, it seemed not unacceptable.

The recruiting competition is scheduled for this weekend. Although it has taken up everyone's weekend time, for the Quidditch team that can participate in Gryffindor College, Gryffindor students are still very happy to put a little more thought into it.

Even if they are not those who signed up for the selection, there are still many friends who are willing to come and cheer for their friends.

Ginny also wanted to sign up, but seeing Rowena's excitement, she felt that it might be difficult for her to get in. After all, in her own opinion, Rowena's flying was much better than her own, and she didn't have one of her own. Own a pretty good broom.

"What about you, Ron? Don't you want to try?" Harry looked at Ron, surprised that he didn't sign up either.

"Me? You think I can do it too?" Ron was surprised by Harry's recognition of himself, and he said with some uncertainty. "Do you really think I can do it? I think maybe you've got something wrong. I'm not as good as Vanessa, I'm not as good as the twins, and even Ginny looks much better than me."

Harry tried to remember, and then tentatively said: "Maybe, you can try the goalkeeper. I remember that during the summer vacation, you kept the goal well. At least you caught two goals from Vanessa."

"It's just two balls." Ron bowed his head in frustration.

"However, George Fred and I didn't catch any of them! We were even hit by Vanessa's ball!" Harry wrinkled his face, thinking of his own experience of being hit by Rowena's ball, Can't help but touch his nose.

Ron hesitated, "May I try? But I don't have a proper broom, I mean..."

"I can lend you my broom!"

Harry patted Ron on the back and pushed him over.

Oliver took note of all those who signed up, notified them of the date of the new competition, and left.

Ginny looked at Oliver who had left, with some regret in her eyes.

"So, why don't you try it?" Rowena asked beside her.

"If I want to go too, if Ron and I are selected together, the family will be under a lot of pressure. We can't afford two brooms."

Rowena frowned, knowing that this was indeed a question.

But soon, things took a turn for the better.

At noon that day, Harry received a gift full of surprises—a Firebolt!

"Merlin! What is this?" Everyone gathered around Harry, exclaiming, this is a Firebolt!In the whole of Hogwarts, no one owns a Firebolt yet!

"Harry, can I try? Let me fly!"

Ron squeezed to Harry's side, begging too: "Oh, Harry, I must try, I want to fly this too, this is a Firebolt!"

Harry was also very excited when he saw this broom, it was given to him by Sirius. In fact, the price of the Firebolt was so expensive that even if Harry was tempted, he would not dare to use the assets left by his parents to buy one. So he was very surprised to receive this gift.

"It's too expensive!" Harry hugged the broom and struggled to get out of the crowd. "Let me go, I can't accept this gift, I have to return it."

"What? Harry, it's a Firebolt!"

Harry's eyes were full of reluctance, but he still looked away firmly. He walked towards the Hufflepuff dining table, causing the students of Hufflepuff House to exclaim.

"Hey, does any of you know where Phineas is?"

"What's wrong?" Cedric looked at Harry, staring at the Firebolt, unable to move away.

"I wonder where he is now." Harry asked, holding the broom.

"Maybe you can go to Professor Snape, it seems that he has some potions and wants to discuss with Professor Snape."

Harry's face turned green, he didn't want to meet Snape!

"Harry, are you sure? It's a Firebolt! The best broom!"

Ron and Hermione accompanied Harry to wait for Godric at the corner next to Snape's office.

"I can't take it! Sirius bought it! But he still has Finny, I can't accept such an expensive gift, it's not fair to Phineas!"

"Perhaps Phineas himself doesn't care about your worries." Ron looked at the broom reluctantly.

Harry shook his head: "Of course he doesn't care, I know, but, Ron, Sirius is so guilty because of my parents' death, and then entered Azkaban."

Harry said in a low tone: "He didn't have to go, he was not wrong, but he went, it was because of my parents that Phineas lost Sirius, otherwise, he could have grown up with Sirius .”

"Harry!" Hermione frowned slightly. "You can't think like that, it can't be your fault."

Harry looked down, looking distressed.

"Even Phineas didn't blame you."

"But, he could have been accompanied by his father! Besides, Sirius gave me a gift, so what about Phineas? Will he be angry with Sirius when he sees Sirius give me a Firebolt?"

Harry Jade's eyes were full of worry: "I don't want them to have conflicts with each other."

"Contradiction? What contradiction?"

Godric was almost startled when he saw the three people around the corner, and then looked at the Firebolt in Harry's arms, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Huh? He gave you one too?"

Godric shook the Firebolt he was carrying, full of helplessness.

"He gave you one too?" Harry found out now that Sirius bought two!

Hermione looked at Harry, looked at Godric, and said, "I think you should pay attention to your father's consumption level, Finny, I don't know what's going on in your family, but at the rate Sirius spends money , I think it might be a little bad."

Godric shrugged and said, "It's nothing. Most of Sirius' pocket money was advanced or borrowed from me. I thought he was going to buy something. It turned out that he wanted to give me and Harry two brooms."

Godric shook the Firebolt in his hand, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Do you care about your family's money?" Hermione understood, and then her eyes widened uncontrollably.

"Yes." Godric said. "Since Sirius was cleared of charges, I arranged for him to take back the assets and shops that originally belonged to the Black family. Most of the fines will be returned. What's more, I think he can be imprisoned unjustly. And the Ministry of Magic disturbed my grandmother, and applied for compensation from the Ministry of Magic. Although there are still some procedures that have not been completed, there is no doubt that it is a lot of money."

"So Sirius asked me to borrow money or advance some pocket money to buy things. I didn't object. After all, most of the compensation should belong to Sirius himself. He will still be very rich in the future."

Godric waved, motioning for the three of them to follow him out of Snape's office.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"You came to see me? What's the matter?"

Ron whispered, "Harry feels very embarrassed to accept this gift and should return it to you."

Godric frowned, held up the Firebolt in his hand and said, "But I'm only one person, so I can't fly two broomsticks."

Harry asked sheepishly, "Perhaps you can push back."

"But, as far as I know, Harry, Firebolts are made to order and cannot be easily returned."

Harry looked down at the Firebolt with a troubled expression on his face.

"Accept it. You can accept it with peace of mind. Sirius has always been guilty of us. If you happily accept this gift, he will feel much better."

Hearing Godric's comfort, Harry was still a little uneasy: "But, he should treat you better, I just don't think I'm qualified to accept him...I'm sorry, Finny, about Sirius' imprisonment, I think it's because of the situation in my family that I've hurt you."

"That's Sirius' own immature choice, it's his own fault, it has nothing to do with you, it can even be said that he is the legal guardian of the first order other than your parents, but he has not fulfilled the responsibility of this guardian , you can complain loudly about his dereliction of duty."

Godric pointed to himself again: "As for me, I have already complained, so he felt very guilty and thought of buying us gifts as compensation."

Then he patted Harry's head: "When he feels the most guilty, ask for more things."

"Huh?" Harry looked at Godric in bewilderment. "Why?"

"I don't want him to have a lot of money in the future. According to Remus, Sirius spent money like water when he was young and was very messy, so he advised me not to give Sirius a lot of pocket money, you won't Wonder what he could have spent his money on!"

Godric said: "I think my godfather is one of my father's closest brothers after all, and what he said is still very correct. Therefore, let's try to help Sirius spend the compensation from the Ministry of Magic."

Then he and Harry looked at each other: "Is there anything else you want?"

Harry looked down at the Firebolt in his hand and shook his head vigorously.

"I hope to have the best set of crucibles! If possible, I also want a set of chemical equipment from the Muggle world, those bottles and jars, and a microscope is also very good..."

Godric turned to look at Harry: "Are you sure you don't need something?"

Harry shook his head firmly, thinking of Sirius' warmth and kindness towards him.

"Maybe he should give each of us a set of the most powerful firebolt care tools! What do you think?"

Harry replied: "But you gave me a set back then, and asked me to take care of two thousand halos..."

"Your set is old!" Godric said decisively.

"It's not that old..." Harry tried to save his wallet for his poor godfather.

Godric pointed to Ron: "Hey, Ron, I heard you're going to try for Gryffindor's Quidditch team too?"

Ron didn't expect to have his own business, pointed to himself and said, "That's right."

"You can ask Harry to give you his halo."

Ron quickly waved his hands and refused: "No, that's too expensive!"

Harry's eyes lit up: "But I'm only one person, and I can't fly two broomsticks. Besides, that can be regarded as your three-year Christmas gift in advance, how about it?"

Ron was still hesitant. He still shook his head and refused the gift, but the movement of shaking his head was a little hesitant.

Harry knew that Ron was very moved, so he continued: "Add three years of birthday presents, and you will only receive my birthday card in the future, how about it, brother?"

Hermione reminded her very understandingly on the side: "You should accept it, so that Mrs. Weasley only needs to buy another broom, and Ginny can also try on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. , you know, she always wanted to join the Gryffindor team, but because Mrs Weasley only agreed to buy a broom, she reluctantly gave it to you."

Harry nodded and encouraged Ron: "Accept it! This way Ginny can fly too, she will be very happy."

Thinking of Ginny's eager eyes, Ron still nodded slowly, accepting Harry's heart.

"Very well, then your set of maintenance tools for broomsticks will be gone. Now, you need a complete set of maintenance tools, right?"

Watching Godric wink at himself, Harry couldn't help sighing, and said, "You're right, Finny, I thought Sirius would mail me the best set of broomstick care kits. "

Hermione pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm beginning to sympathize with Mr. Black."

Godric didn't care, he shrugged: "He will be very happy, as long as we accept the gift and feel happy, he will feel much more comfortable."
