Chapter 140: Corporeal Patronus

Chapter 140: Corporeal Patronus

Feeling the gaze of Cho Chang, Lin Yue, who was feeding the owl, turned to look at her.

Meeting Lin Yue's calm and indifferent eyes, Cho Chang was so excited that her voice trembled slightly.

"Lin Yue, did you buy this?"

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded calmly, and the other members of the Ravenclaw team also turned to look at her, "It's a sponsorship gift for everyone."

The members of Ravenclaw had always treated her well, so she felt she should give something back.

Lin Yue had this idea for a long time, especially after Harry took out the Firebolt and Cho Chang showed an envious expression.

She directly placed an order with the manufacturing factory for a sufficient quantity of Firebolts, ensuring that every member of the Ravenclaw team could have one.

In theory, the manufacturing factory didn't have such strong production capacity at the moment; in other words, they couldn't produce enough and could only sell them one by one.

Even the teams wanting Firebolts for the Quidditch World Cup had to wait until the summer vacation to receive them.

But who made Lin Yue their boss? Who made her salary so high that they couldn't refuse?

Given these two points, insufficient production capacity? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

They had to work through the night to produce enough Firebolts and deliver them to Lin Yue as quickly as possible.

As a result, the wizards in the British magical community, who usually didn't work overtime, rarely used energy supplements to stay up for three consecutive nights, producing enough Firebolts and delivering them before this Quidditch match at Hogwarts began.

The members of the Ravenclaw team were overjoyed to hear Lin Yue's words. They were all passionate about Quidditch; who wouldn't be excited about such an excellent broomstick?

Not to mention that with such a great broomstick, they might win this match!

If it weren't for Hermione being nearby and them being sensible, they would have really wanted to run over and hug Lin Yue, giving her a few hearty kisses.

She was truly their treasure in Ravenclaw!

Of course, she was also their leader. Who wouldn't love such a leader who cared for her team?

"Thank you, Lin Yue! We will definitely work hard in the match!"

"That's right! We will strive for victory!"

The members of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team took turns assuring Lin Yue. There was no need for polite remarks about whether she was spending too much; saying such things would only ruin the atmosphere. Lin Yue shook her head with a calm expression, her voice unchanged. "Don't feel pressured, just do your best. Safety first, and try to enjoy the competition as much as possible. I sponsor the Firebolt arrows not to make you feel like you have to win, but to help you enjoy the game better. "I wish you a safe and happy competition."

"We definitely will."

Cho Chang nodded vigorously, trying to calm herself down. After picking up the Firebolt, she stood up and, along with the rest of the team, turned to leave the great hall. They needed to head to the Quidditch pitch's changing room to change into their uniforms.

The commotion at the Ravenclaw long table certainly did not escape the notice of the other three houses. Eight flying broomsticks descended from the sky, and the noise was impossible to ignore; it was simply too conspicuous.

The Hufflepuffs accepted the situation well. Lin Yue could spend her money however she wanted, but... The gossip-loving Hufflepuffs turned their attention to their own Quidditch team members, wondering if they were feeling a lot of pressure.

Then the laid-back Hufflepuffs noticed that their players were clearly very competent Hufflepuffs, showing no signs of stress at all, and were happily chatting with their friends nearby.

As for the match, they just needed to do their best; the outcome wasn't that important.

The Slytherins, on the other hand, collectively fell into deep thought, contemplating the possibility of getting their parents to sponsor some Firebolt. Although their families weren't making money right now, they still had some resources, right?

The only ones showing a bit of emotional fluctuation were the Gryffindors, who were about to compete against Ravenclaw. Wood helplessly patted Fred and George on the shoulders and sighed at his team.

"Everyone, don't be nervous or afraid; just do your best."

Fred, who was patted on the shoulder, cheerfully nudged him back, saying, "We're not nervous at all, and we're definitely not afraid; it's you who seems worried."

"More like conflicted," George chimed in, picking up on his brother's words.

"Lighten up, Wood, and trust in our skills," Angelina added as she walked over and nodded at him.

Harry, who was a bit sly, added from the side, "Also, don't take the results too seriously; we will do our best." Wood couldn't help but roll his eyes at his words. The seven of them teased each other and laughed as they walked out of the hall.

On the teacher's bench, Professor McGonagall looked at the joyful crowd in the hall and revealed a genuine smile. "The happiness of the children." "It always makes one feel younger, doesn't it, Minerva?" Professor Flitwick, sitting next to her, chimed in cheerfully, and McGonagall nodded in agreement.

Once they found a good spot in the stands, Lin Yue's eyes were fixed on the Quidditch pitch. Hermione, sitting next to her, slowly inched closer until she finally leaned against Lin Yue, comfortably squinting her eyes as she watched the Quidditch field below.

Lin Yue withdrew her gaze and slightly turned her head to glance at Hermione. Her brain quickly analyzed Hermione's height, spine shape, and posture, and then with a barely noticeable movement, she adjusted her shoulder height and sitting position, trying to make Hermione more comfortable.

Although it was a match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, no one objected to Hermione sitting in the Ravenclaw stands. In fact, with her leading the way, many couples from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor sat together, mixing the two houses' stands.

As the commentary began, both teams entered the pitch. After a brief introduction and handshake between the captains, the two teams soared into the sky at Madam Hooch's whistle. The entire Ravenclaw team, equipped with Firebolt brooms, flew ahead, but Harry, also riding a Firebolt, was able to slightly keep pace with them.

Watching the two groups ascend simultaneously, various data and analyses flashed through Lin Yue's mind. The data was even fluctuating in real-time, requiring no deliberate calculations. The analysis and calculations were as natural as breathing for Lin Yue, something she could accomplish unconsciously.

According to her analysis, the skill levels of the Ravenclaw team members were comparable to those of the Gryffindor team. The only one who could clearly stand out was Harry; it was as if he was born to play Quidditch, his skill level surpassing the others by a margin.

In the current situation, based on Lin Yue's analysis, if the Ravenclaw team could score enough points before Harry caught the Golden Snitch, they would win. Conversely, if they couldn't score enough points before Harry caught the Snitch, they would definitely lose. After all, even with all players on equal Firebolt brooms, the Quidditch skills of senior Cho Chang were indeed a bit inferior to Harry's.

The Golden Snitch was likely to be caught by Harry. The course of the match unfolded just as Lin Yue had anticipated; on the other side, Gryffindor was being "overpowered" by Ravenclaw.

The Ravenclaw Quidditch team scored one goal after another, racking up points time and time again. The score was closing in at the fastest pace possible, enough to help them secure victory.

In the tussle between Cho Chang and Harry, both were going back and forth in their competition. At one moment, Cho Chang successfully distracted Harry, and at another, Harry tricked Cho Chang with his feint.

In Lin Yue's eyes, all of Cho Chang's physical stats had reached their peak at that moment—reaction speed, body control, strength, and so on were all in the best state her body could achieve. Cho Chang, along with everyone else, had done what they said they would do: give it their all.

Lin Yue also noticed the smiles spreading across the faces of everyone on both sides. Clearly, in this match, whether it was the Gryffindor players or the Ravenclaw players, everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves.

This atmosphere also infected the audience; no matter which side scored or successfully defended, everyone generously offered them enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Feeling the surrounding atmosphere, Lin Yue's lips slowly curled up, warmth and happiness flooding her mind. It was a sense of comfort, an unprecedented comfort that made her feel as if her whole body had become "lazy."

A louder cheer erupted, and many people in the stands were shouting, pointing at Cho Chang and Harry, who were eagerly chasing the golden snitch.

There, two tall figures in black robes and hoods, resembling "Dementors," were rapidly approaching Cho Chang and Harry.

Attracted by the shouts, the two turned their heads, their pupils contracting sharply, and they instinctively drew their wands.

"Expecto Patronum!" ×2

After the two shouted, they no longer cared about what was happening behind them and turned back to chase the golden snitch.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue, who was in the stands, was suddenly pulled into Hermione's embrace.

"Don't look up!"

Like many other Ravenclaws in the stands, she quickly drew her wand, while the professors on the other side also looked serious, their faces tinged with anger as they drew their wands.

There was no need to be so tense; those weren't Dementors.

When the two "Dementors" first appeared, she noticed that the surrounding temperature hadn't dropped, and the hands of the "Dementors" were not decayed.

Combining various details, in just a few seconds, Lin Yue concluded that the two "Dementors" were not real Dementors.

However, before she could say anything, she was pulled into Hermione's embrace, and she heard Hermione's resolute voice.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Holding Lin Yue, Hermione's gaze and tone were more determined than ever; she had never understood the meaning of protection more than she did at that moment.

She wanted to protect the person in her arms, the one with whom she had shared countless joyful memories, and she wanted to walk towards a brighter and happier future together!

"Roar!"

A loud, resonant sound erupted as a silver-white Velociraptor shot out from the tip of Hermione's wand.

No other Patronus, not even those of the professors, was as fast; they didn't even have a chance to react. The silver-white, pure Velociraptor charged right in front of the two "Dementors," leaping high and fiercely clawing at them with its two front legs.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

A few muffled cries came out, and the "Dementors" instantly disintegrated, causing Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, and Marcus to fall to the ground.

"Fake, fake?"

Hermione stared in shock at the scene before her, somewhat dazed as she lowered her wand. She truly hadn't expected that, in front of so many people at the Quidditch match, someone would dare to impersonate a Dementor. Not to mention, all the professors were present!

Lin Yue quietly lifted her head from Hermione's embrace. "I was just about to say that, but I didn't have the chance."

"Also," she turned her head in Hermione's arms, looking past her arm at the silver-white Thestral that was running and jumping in the sky not far away, "congratulations, Hermione, for successfully learning the Patronus Charm. That's amazing."

"Not really," Hermione said with a shy smile, "this isn't a real Dementor, so I can't say I've completely mastered it."

However, others clearly did not share that opinion, as they began to recover from their astonishment at someone daring to impersonate a Dementor. The Ravenclaws around them and the professors on the opposite stands couldn't help but direct their gazes toward Hermione, who was holding Lin Yue.

They had just heard a voice, right? There was no mistake, was there? A Patronus that could make sounds?!

The Ravenclaws found this hard to believe, so they thought Hermione was impressive, with a talent that was frighteningly high. The professors, who were aware of the specifics, felt even more that Hermione's magical talent was astonishing.

For a Patronus to make a sound was a small modification that Professor Dumbledore had come up with during the time the Order of the Phoenix was fighting against the Death Eaters, to convey information when it was inconvenient to use other means.

However, making a Patronus produce sound was quite difficult. Even many members of the Order had to practice for a long time before they could succeed.

Yet now, Hermione had conjured a corporeal Patronus for the first time and it could actually make sounds. Such talent... was just too terrifying.

"Fortunately, they are all good kids."

Professor McGonagall looked at Lin Yue and Hermione, who were hugging each other on the opposite stand, and whispered softly. The surrounding professors nodded in agreement; after all, these two were good kids, otherwise... Just thinking about that impossible situation made the professors collectively shiver.

However, in the next moment, Professor McGonagall quickly regained her composure, her face showing an expression of anger as she stood up and walked towards the stands below.

"Pretending that a Dementor is causing trouble for the Quidditch players in the match, this matter must be taken seriously!"
