Chapter 325 Temptation
"Sister, are you kidding me?!"
The flying lesson has ended, but the little wizards gathered in front of the venue have not dispersed.
Just now, Elena announced the news about the formation of Hogwarts' first first-year Quidditch team. Mrs. Hooch also confirmed the reliability of this matter and expressed her willingness to serve as coach, supervision and guidance. them.
Ron Weasley's eyes widened and he looked at Elena in disbelief, his mouth opened wide, like a toad chirping in the field before a thunderstorm.
"A brand new Quidditch team?" Ron swallowed and said with an exaggerated expression, "And it's all made up of us freshmen - this is so crazy, this is definitely Hogwarts history. Even the youngest team in the history of Quidditch."
"To be precise, I remember that about a hundred years ago, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a situation where first-year freshmen were directly selected for the school team. However, this is indeed the first time that such a situation has been attempted."
Mrs. Huo Qi nodded solemnly, looked around at the little wizards who were talking about each other, and continued to add with a smile,
"Of course, you don't need to be too nervous. The reason why the school has such an idea is mainly to allow you to experience the atmosphere of Quidditch in advance, and at the same time, you can better experience the fun of flying."
Quidditch's status in the wizarding world is what football is in the non-magic world.
To be more precise, it can even be regarded as as important as the collection of almost all group ball games - after all, it is the first, and so far the only, broom sport that is loved by wizards almost all over the world.
You don’t have to be interested in Quidditch, but you can’t say you haven’t heard of it. It’s not only a sport, it has almost become the easiest social element to open up conversations among wizards—provided, of course, that you don’t If you happen to meet a wizard who is on the opposite side of you and supports your team, otherwise the conversation that follows may not be that comfortable.
Ever since Filch posted the Quidditch team review time for this semester on the bulletin wall on Monday, the discussion about Quidditch has never stopped, and at least one-third of the people at the dinner table every day It's all about Quidditch.
In this fanatical and exciting atmosphere, even Harry Potter, who comes from the non-magical world, is full of curiosity about this magical movement of flying in the sky, and those first-year students who were born into wizarding families are Not to mention.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that when Mrs. Huo Qi and Elena announced the news, the little wizards reacted as fiercely as if a pot had exploded.
"What, Weasley? Are you scared?"
Draco Malfoy raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ron with amusement. "If I remember correctly, some people boasted not long ago that they once escaped from a Muggle airplane on a broken broomstick." A glider?"
"Oh, shut up, Malfoy! Did I say the word scared?"
Ron frowned and responded with an unkind expression.
"When I was playing Quidditch with my brothers in the backyard, you, the eldest young man, were probably still crying in your study, memorizing some stinky and long family tree? You know, being able to fly does not mean being able to play ball."
As if they were born with incompatible personalities, Ron and Draco would always get into an angry fight within a few words.
It has to be said that as the two of them get to know each other, the collision in this life is obviously much more intense than before. Each person can hit the other's pain points more accurately and understand their own advantages better.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Seeing the two little kids glaring at each other like cockfighting cocks, Elena clapped her hands helplessly, drew the little wizards' attention back to herself, and spoke unhurriedly.
"The official selection of the first-year Quidditch trial team at Hogwarts will begin this Friday afternoon, after the flying lessons of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The first selection , mainly to assess the basic skills and talents in flying. As for each person's position in the team, it will be arranged by Mrs. Huo Qi."
Time is limited, and Elena naturally does not have much time to wait for the little wizards to grow up and get used to each other.
Moreover, one of the reasons for forming a first-grade Quidditch team is actually equivalent to the purpose of tiered teaching - to screen out those young wizards who have been exposed to flying broomsticks in advance or who have outstanding flying talents. Train and develop.
In this way, on the one hand, Mrs. Huo Qi's workload in the course will be greatly reduced, and she can set teaching goals in a more targeted manner, and pay attention to those young wizards with relatively weak foundations. On the other hand, the Quidditch teams of each college can also take this opportunity to better observe and train their own newcomers.
More importantly, this way, each of their teams also has someone they can hold training matches with on a regular basis. .
You must know that before this, except for the official Quidditch College Cup competition, every time the representative teams of each college practiced tactics, they could only compete with imaginary enemies in the air.
Therefore, after Elena proposed that she want to form a special Quidditch team composed entirely of first-year students, all the professors present unanimously expressed their agreement, although their starting points and positions were different.
Albus Dumbledore even offered to help contact the oldest Quidditch team in England, Puddlemere United, to see if they could get a batch of training brooms that had been eliminated by their reserve team. ——It may not be the top broom today, but in terms of stability and safety, it is definitely the best choice to replace today’s flying lessons.
Of course, not all discussions are smooth sailing.
On the issue of whether the Quidditch team composed of first-year students from four houses is eligible to participate in the competition for the Hogwarts Quidditch House Cup, including Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout , all raised varying degrees of doubts and objections - although from Dumbledore's point of view, he really hoped that Elena could spend more time on the Quidditch field instead of tormenting poor Hogg. Watts Castle, and his increasingly haggard heart.
After a period of discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus on the result -
Elena put her hands on her hips, looked around at the little wizards who were talking about each other, and spoke softly in a seductive tone.
"The professors promised that if the team we formed can defeat any official team of the college in a training match before the official start of the College Cup, we will be qualified to participate in the official competition of this school year. Think about it, in the whole school In front of teachers and students, your names will be sung above everyone, just like those international stars coming on stage..."
