Chapter 847 Make a Friend...

"Wait a minute, Elena..."

Hermione looked away from Charlie Weasley at the Gryffindor table and said slowly.

"If the freshmen team is going to face the senior students, then they must also have a captain, similar to Elena's position on the team last year. Then, it looks like... Luna is the captain of the new team. Captain?"

The other little witches at the table raised their heads and looked at Elena.

"Obviously, Luna's personality is not suitable for being a team leader, is it? This is different from learning in the classroom. She can't forcefully ask everyone to train, or cheer everyone up when their morale is low, right? ?”

"But who else could it be but Luna?" Hannah said.

"Other freshmen," Elena replied calmly, "No—look over there!"

Glancing at the indignant Hannah, she tilted her head towards the table on the other side of the auditorium and continued.

"For example, Slytherin or Ravenclaw. In my opinion, there are no fewer outstanding freshmen this year than ours. It's just that maybe it's a coincidence - it should be - most of these children are in the other two. Academy. Moreover, according to tradition, when there are no competitors, the initiator of the freshman team is the captain by default—that is, Irina of Slytherin."

"According to tradition?" Hermione raised her eyebrows and glanced at Elena.

If she remembered correctly, the Hogwarts freshman team seemed to have only been in existence for one year.

"Well, the rules I made after winning the championship last semester-"

Elena nodded calmly, spread her hands, and explained extremely seriously.

"No matter how capable she is, until there is no second person to challenge her, she is the undisputed captain. If Luna and Danilova want to join the team, in addition to Hermione, they also need to get It takes her approval.”

"To be more precise..."

Elena turned her head and glanced at the thoughtful "know-it-all" lady beside her, and added.

"Even if you are Hermione's head coach, how effective you can be in the team and the game depends to a large extent on your cooperation with the child - of course, if you have reasonable reasons, you can directly Replace her."

The three little witches at the table were silent for a moment, thinking about Elena's words.

Luna and Danilova were obviously starting to get a little nervous, but Hermione's expression suddenly became playful.

"You know, I would be very surprised if she would have a conflict with me."

She looked thoughtfully at the foreign student at the Slytherin table.

She didn't know much about this new student from Russia. Apart from the sorting ceremony at the opening banquet, the only thing that left an impression on Hermione was the small conflict that happened in the auditorium after they finished class last week.

In that conflict, the little witch named Irina didn't seem to have any outstanding performance.

Compared to Hanna, the disciplinary committee member who uses "Heavenly Fall" to divide the battlefield, and Danilova, the "little key to violence" who is like the second Elena, Irina who uses the wand to fight back is too ordinary.

Ordinary...just like any senior student...

Hermione's eyes lingered on Elena for a few seconds. Well, she had a similar body shape to Elena.

Although he is so outstanding, there is not much talk about him in school, which is a bit strange.

Superb magical attainments, mysterious and complex family background, ordinary appearance, tough and strong character...so many similarities are stacked together, but Elena and Irina have no apparent intersection. .

Thinking back carefully, it seems that Elena has not been to the Slytherin common room since the beginning of this semester.

As a "special student" with qualifications for four colleges, in Hermione's impression, Elena should be very concerned about her potential influence in each college, unless she suddenly changes her personality or has achieved her goal.

Then, when many reasons come together, the answer is naturally self-evident.

“I see, another little sister ‘to be joined’?”

Hermione put down the knife in her hand and glanced meaningfully at the white-haired dumpling next to her who was still pretending.

"Ah, by the way, I think we haven't spoken much to Miss Elena yet. Elena, why don't we go over together and get to know each other first? After all, you are also very concerned about the Quidditch freshman team. selection?"

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that Danilova can help introduce us. I'm really not familiar with the new students..."

Elena nodded calmly. Hermione was a logical player anyway, so as long as she couldn't find evidence, it didn't matter.

Moreover, even if these wings can see something after knowing it, at most it can only mean that she has a lot of friends. Anyway, everyone is a girl. Even if they are a little unhappy, they will not be able to rise to the hatchet ending - in Japanese comics. There is no such example.

"I mean, you can communicate more and make friends in the future..." Elena said.

At this time, she and her good friends walked down the grassy slope towards the Quidditch pitch outside the castle.

Hermione and Luna were walking in the front, talking about something in a low voice, while Hannah was carrying her beloved broomstick and proudly told Danilova and Irina about the top of her broom. The origin of that silver star.

However, as Hannah told the story, Danilova and Irina became obviously distracted.

Not far away from them, Elena was sitting sideways on an old-looking broom. Countless silver nebulae were dotted on the handle of the broom, which looked quite cute and cute in the bright sunshine - if not Hannah's stories serve as foreshadowing.

"Don't pay attention to the witch Elena, she is too cruel, she is not a normal case..."

Hannah followed the eyes of the two freshmen and looked forward. After a pause, she complained helplessly, "Elena, you make it difficult for me to explain. You have stolen all the limelight. Don’t you think it’s a bit excessive!”

"Sorry, I didn't mean it," Elena said, "but this is also an incentive. If you want to surpass me, this year is a good opportunity. You should be able to be on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Get unlimited fire rights..."

"Yeah, that's right," Hannah said, her voice suddenly becoming excited, "I can add a few more stars in the new season..."

In this semester's Hogwarts House Cup, Elena, who joined the Gryffindor team, could only participate in one game, and the rest of the time she could only serve as a special coach - this was the cost of Ravenclaw's retirement. After paying the price of humiliation, this is the only gain.

And this also means that the competition for the Hogwarts Quidditch Academy Cup begins to have meaning again.

When they walked into the Quidditch field, Hannah looked to the left and right sides of the field. Except for the wizards from Ravenclaw House who were nowhere to be found, students from the other three houses had already arrived at the field and were waiting for the selection with great interest. The arrival of the sun - the sky at Hogwarts has never been so clear and blue, making people feel refreshed and filled with the urge to fly into the sky.

In the new season without Elena, anyone can win the trophy again.
