Chapter 850 The Queen’s Lessons

A moment later, the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.

For some strange reasons, the news that the freshman team and the "All-Star Team" were going to have a private coaching match spread like wildfire among the students. Before the Hufflepuff House tryouts were over, the stands were packed with people. It was full of little wizards watching the fun.

Except that there were no cheering items from each house, it felt like fast forwarding to the school's Quidditch final day.

By the time Mrs. Hooch blew the game whistle and fifteen broomsticks were lifted into the air, almost half of the students had arrived. Except for the empty staff stands, the atmosphere on the entire Quidditch pitch was as high as a festival.

"The...opening game before the new Hogwarts Quidditch season?"

Dumbledore looked around at the stands and whispered helplessly.

"Miss Kaslana, if you plan to let everyone come and watch, you can directly apply for the bulletin board next time."

If he remembered correctly, the official competition should not officially start until next month. Today is just the routine selection time for each college. At most, it only adds an additional step to test whether the freshmen team and the returning graduate team are qualified—— But judging from the lively and exciting situation in front of him, which was like a match day, it was obvious that something happened that he didn't know about.

"Opening match? How come I didn't know about this -"

Elena spread her hands innocently, looked away from the crowd in the distance, and explained seriously.

"Mr. Principal, please don't speculate on your lovely students from the perspective of conspiracy theories. After all, whether the two teams can be successfully shortlisted still depends on you and Mrs. Huo Qi's conclusion. I swear that this game will be completed from the planning to the implementation." It was done in secret.”

The girl winked slyly and said softly, imitating Dumbledore's most common tone of voice.

"But, you know, secrets get out like wildfire—"

…………

Obviously, in Hogwarts, the easiest way to attract students is definitely not the bulletin board.

During the entire two-day weekend, a certain "unspeakable secret" quickly spread in the castle.

Compared to the Academy Trials, which had little sense of participation or viewing value, the stunt of the "All-Star Team" massacring the "Freshman Team" was obviously much more interesting. The Weasley twins even secretly opened a small handicap, guessing that it was pitiful How long can the "freshman team" last in the hands of the "all-star team", and whether it can reach the minimum qualification line in the minds of the professors.

Of course, out of fairness and justice, they also set up a handicap for the freshman team to win.

Regrettably, except for the naive Neville who defeated a few Galleons on the freshman team, most of the remaining students unanimously sided with the "All-Star Team". The only suspense was , it just depends on how big the gap is.

"That's Charlie, do you understand? Gryffindor's most recent founder of the Quidditch dynasty—"

Facing the Ravenclaw female prefects and the newly promoted Hogwarts Student Union President, George Weasley said seriously, "Don't overpower the freshman team. In Quidditch, you guys You have to trust my judgment——"

"Weasley, what do you think? If you plan to make a little pocket money, how should you combine it?"

The beautiful Ravenclaw female prefect with long curly hair raised her eyebrows and asked softly thoughtfully.

However, she didn't look at George who was talking, but turned to look at Percy, who was sitting not far from the Weasley twins' seats and was frowning, as if he was planning to reprimand his two younger brothers. Weasley.

"Well--"

Percy opened his mouth and quickly swallowed back the scolding words that were about to reach his lips.

In his original thought, he thought that the two girls who were not easy to mess with were here to maintain school discipline.

As the relationship between Ravenclaw House and Gryffindor House becomes increasingly close, in addition to Gryffindor students, many Ravenclaw students and even Hufflepuff students are also twins. There was some betting there.

As Gryffindor's male prefect, Percy Weasley almost planned to kill off his family first.

"Well, although the two of them are naughty and mischievous in many places, they are really good at playing broomsticks..."

Percy Weasley coughed slightly, glared at George calmly, and continued.

"As far as I know, Charlie has been engaged in the protection and research of black dragons since he graduated. Maybe other wizards may have become less familiar with flying because they left school, but Charlie is definitely not among them - George, Please help Penelo quickly figure out how to allocate the amount to ensure maximum returns and minimum risks."

"But, gentlemen...the other team is not all freshmen."

Meryl Streep hugged her hands in front of the peach, looked at George with a smile as she helped Penello register her bets, and said softly

"I think I need to remind you that their head coach and seeker are not simple. One is your extremely famous genius little witch from Gryffindor, and the other is the star player of our academy last year. I still think …”

“Don’t worry, you’re right to listen to me—”

George Weasley answered with great confidence without raising his head.

"Qiu Zhang? Oh, she does fly quite well. If she is a seeker, she might be able to try her luck - but if she is a chaser, her opponents are three of the best in this school. Among the top players, one of them is that nasty guy from Slytherin who almost won three consecutive championships. She can't beat anyone on both offense and defense."

"As for Granger, Quidditch is not a test question on paper. Smart minds do not have an advantage in it. Otherwise Ravenclaw wouldn't have failed to get it for so many years - ah, I mean , Uh-huh, it’s useless.”

George Weasley was halfway through his words when he seemed to notice that the temperature suddenly turned colder and made a somewhat abrupt turn.

"Don't worry, I won't be angry. After all, what you said is the truth."

Meryl Streep narrowed her eyes slightly with a half-smile and whispered softly.

"From the time I entered the school until now, seeing that I am about to graduate, our Ravenclaw team has not only failed to improve at all, but was even defeated by the first-year students last year. It is really frustrating... …”

"Aba Aba——"

Cold sweat broke out from George Weasley's back instantly, and he glanced at the brothers beside him helplessly.

Relying on the excellent talents in his family's blood, George realized the crisis almost immediately. Unfortunately, Fred and Percy obviously had no intention of saving him, and they invariably folded their arms and stood happily beside him. Go to the theater.

"I'm just kidding you, idiot, I'm not a childish little girl who needs to be coaxed..."

Then, before George could open his mouth to make amends, 'Miss Peach' couldn't help laughing.

"Well, of course I trust our Quidditch expert. Although I may feel sorry for that little guy Qiu Zhang, after all, I am still quite short of pocket money - all my savings, 67 gold Galleons, are all I leave it to you. Speaking of which, if those students who lost their bets here start a riot, have you thought about what you are going to do?"

"Don't worry, we have thought about this a long time ago. Our Weasley family is quite powerful."

George Weasley patted his chest with great pride and pointed to the corner of the stand mysteriously.

"That's my eldest brother, Bill. He works at Gringotts now. We specially used our connections to buy a bunch of contract documents from Gringotts at a low price. The kind of contract that has magical effects. Unless you don't plan to use gold and gold." It’s successful, otherwise it would be impossible to default on the debt.”

"Bill Weasley? There are so many brothers in your family."

Meryl Streep glanced thoughtfully at the former Head Boy.

Since Gringotts is the supervisor, she is not so worried. After all, Bill Weasley is also the brother of her reckless and restless little boyfriend. If something goes wrong, he will probably not stand by. Are you just sitting back and watching?

At the same time, similar conversations also occurred in the corners of Slytherin and Hufflepuff houses.

…………

"Professor Dumbledore, don't worry, this is just a small lesson..."

Elena glanced at the old man nervously, and after making sure that the greatest white wizard in the magic world had no tendency to hurt others for the time being, she carefully explained the next arrangements, and explained the " The reason for "a happy little gamble".

"I am the Fairy Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. How can the richest woman in the world covet the little pocket money in the hands of students. I intend to use cruel reality to make them understand that it is really good to stay away from gambling. What’s the matter——”

"Okay, I admit that there is a bit of an element of killing first and playing later. But listen to my explanation, it is absolutely impossible to lose control..."

"Manipulating the results of the game? No, no, no, how is that possible? I mean, even if it gets out of hand in the end, as the principal of Hogwarts, you can also declare a ban on illegal activities, confiscate all gambling funds, and return them to the parents of each student ...This is also in line with your upright character... Hey, professor, were you swearing just now? Hey, eh..."
