You just focus on the match—we'll figure out the solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once things escalate a bit more, the heads of houses will step in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, Sherlock?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione, you're only half right, because ultimately it won't be up to the heads of houses to intervene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? Isn't that your goal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've gotten one thing wrong—this actually shouldn't require teachers to intervene at all.

That's when it becomes the Head Boy's responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must mean Gemma. Percy wouldn't think of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously, my friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder. I thought you wouldn't encourage Ron to do such a thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, Harry won't be exhausted from dealing with everything, and we can also turn from passive to active.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Sherlock and Hermione discuss back and forth, arranging everything for him so neatly, Harry couldn't help but have a strange feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he always feel like he was these two's son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's one more thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Harry was lost in wild thoughts, Sherlock suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry immediately perked up. \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Firebolt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean Slytherin might tamper with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once both sides escalate things, targeting broomsticks becomes more effective than targeting players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always keep it locked in my trunk.
