Chapter 946 Digory and Weasley
Madam Pomfrey's expertise in the field of healing was unquestionable, but Draco's sickly state was not illness.
After careful inspection for more than half an hour, the medical director of Hogwarts could only guess that Draco Malfoy's recent poor state may be due to factors such as too much pressure and poor rest. —This is common at Hogwarts, but usually happens in fifth year.
Although Draco had always insisted that he would recover after a short sleep, Harry and Ron forced him to drink some powerful stimulants.
As a result, during the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff over the weekend, Draco seemed to be driving a jet broomstick, leaving a trail of white steam in the sky, but his condition was not that The breakthrough of losing a game - After experiencing an unexpected defeat against the freshman team last week, the Hufflepuff team began to get serious, and the tactical focus shifted from Cedric to Hannah.
As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Hannah also had four extra stars on the top of her broom.
Except for Goyle, Crabbe, and Draco, she ruthlessly defeated all the remaining senior players on the Slytherin team.
And in Gryffindor's game against the freshman team that afternoon, Luna relied on amazing luck to catch the snitch next to her own goal ring before Harry had time to activate the broom to fly high into the sky. The minimum game length for a Hogwarts Quidditch match.
However, those off-campus spectators who bought Hogwarts tickets at high prices did not show much protest.
Except for a small number of serious Quidditch enthusiasts, the vast majority of the audience actually came for the three meals provided with the ticket and the additional benefits of a one-day trip to Hogwarts, such as Amos Diggle Here is such a loyal consumer - since the last time Arthur Weasley showed off his excellent "daughter-in-law-to-be" in front of him, the extremely competitive Mr. Diggory has also started to improve in this regard. Get up.
Of course, just like most parents of students, after witnessing how Hannah smashed the Slytherin players into the dirt.
Amos Diggory immediately crossed out the Abbot family from the list of "alternative in-laws", even though the "Leaky Cauldron Tavern" is about to become a "Leaky Cauldron Hotel Chain Group", similar to A serious and gentle girl like Miss Hannah is still too dangerous.
In comparison, the ladies of Ravenclaw are obviously more suitable for their excellent Cedric.
"Hey, Syd, maybe you think I'm a bit verbose—"
Amos Diggory patted his son on the back and spoke with a sincere tone in a man's voice.
"You will be sixteen next year, and you have to start thinking about dating some beautiful girls in school. Only after you graduate will you realize how useless it is to focus all your energy on studying at Hogwarts. Waste - oh - of course I'm not envious of the Weasley boys who fall in love early, but you have to start taking the initiative, otherwise all the good girls will be asked out in advance by the gangsters around you."
"I will be in fifth grade next year, Dad," Cedric muttered quietly, looking slightly embarrassed. "I have to prepare for the O.W.L.s exam, and as far as I know, George and Fred are not the ones who take the initiative. I gave them to You said that they failed to grab potatoes..."
"Then try to organize one next time. Don't be careless. Gryffindor House has the most bad boys - especially when it comes to pursuing girls. Your honest and upright character is really easy to suffer. Well, it’s just like me back then...forget it..."
Amos Diggory shook his head indifferently, sighed with some regret, and then winked at his son.
"Speaking of which, I have been keeping an eye out for you over the past two weekends. There are several girls in Ravenclaw that you can consider making a date with. For example, the one who is likely to become the new female student president next semester. Girl prefect, you have to hurry up."
"Uh, Dad, are you talking about Penelo?"
Cedric sighed helplessly, looked at his father with a headache, and sighed even more heavily in his heart.
Of course he knew why Mr. Diggory was so anxious. After all, the Weasley family and the Diggory family were neighbors.
With the relationship between Arthur Weasley and Amos Diggory as colleagues, neighbors and parents of students, you can imagine the topics that two bored middle-aged men talk about every time they meet - in the last round During the confrontation, due to George Weasley's successful engagement to Miss Streep, Old Diggory suffered a very brutal "face-riding output", so much so that he couldn't wait to hope that Cedric could help him in Weasley's marriage. Get a win in front of you.
only……
"She's Percy's girlfriend, she just came out this semester. Well, Percy Weasley - they were said to have been together last year."
As soon as Seglic finished speaking the second half of his words, he immediately stopped alertly, wishing he could give himself a big mouthful.
"Another one?! Look at what I just said. The Weasley family does this all day long!"
After hearing this "bad news", Mr. Diggory's eyes suddenly widened.
Obviously, this also means that even after Meryl Streep graduates this semester, Mr. Diggory will have to be ridiculed for a second round the next time he meets Mr. Weasley, and this time it will be the same. Years of time, which is equivalent to him having to walk around Arthur later.
And the most important thing is that since the gangsters in his family got rid of being single one after another, Arthur also likes to care about the situation of other people's families.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... Anyway, Miss Crevat is one grade older than you. Well, why don't you try to get to know Miss Marietta Acmore later - oh, you must know her, she is also a good child. , she is also a member of the Ravenclaw team, you must have a lot in common. By the way, her mother, Mrs. Acmore, is the director of the Floo Network Administration, Department of Transportation, Ministry of Magic, and her office happens to be downstairs from me—— "
"The Ravenclaw team has been disbanded, and now the only thing left in the sky is..."
Cedric spread his hands with a headache. Of course he knew that Miss Marietta Acmore. She had invited him to the last party.
However, at that time, Hufflepuff House had just lost the game. He was not in much mood to play that night other than asking his old rivals from Gryffindor House to review the game unconvinced. Besides, those The girl's perfume that night was also a bit pungent.
Of course, he didn't dare to tell old Diggory this. It would be really embarrassing if he was tied up and sent to the door by his parents like George.
You know, George Weasley is almost a public joke among the boys now.
After all, it is rare for people to find such a Gryffindor who is inferior in all aspects of study, fighting, reputation, and even emotional status. He was even tied to his parents' door to apologize for secretly dating during the holidays, and was eventually tied to death. The unlucky guy who has half a lifetime of choices.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, you have to find a girlfriend this semester no matter what - this is the request of your mother and I."
Amos Diggory's short brown beard trembled, interrupting Cedric's voice, and spoke in a tone that could not be criticized.
"Unless you can find a girlfriend, you'll have to stay at Hogwarts this Christmas. It just so happens that your mother and I haven't been together for a long time. You reminded me that you won't have time next year. Now that you're in love, I don't want you to become like the eldest and second eldest son of the Weasley family. What's the use of just having grades? Then like them, one person will marry a fire dragon and another person will marry a goblin - hey - that would be terrible. !”
"This is really not something to worry about, Dad, I haven't yet..."
"Hey, Cedric, look out!"
Before the young Hufflepuff Quidditch captain could finish speaking, an odd shout came from behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a bright red Quaffle flew directly towards him.
However, as Hogwarts' leading seeker, Cedric's reaction speed is naturally top-notch. He quickly turned around and stopped the ball in mid-air with his palm, easily blocking the Quaffle that suddenly attacked. Some looked helplessly towards the location where the attack was sent.
"Miss Weasley, can't you change the way you call people? This is really dangerous..."
"If you can't even catch such a slow ball, then you can just admit defeat next time -"
Ginny Weasley said nonchalantly as she rode her broom and floated in the air four or five feet high from the stands of Hufflepuff House.
If it weren't for creating opportunities for Qiu Zhang's shy senior sister, she wouldn't bother to talk to this dull, sullen Hufflepuff Quidditch captain. She had often heard her father talk about him and Diego next door when she was at home. Mr. Lee's silly "better son" game.
In Ginny's opinion, none of her brothers are much better than Cedric...well, except Ron.
"The youngest daughter of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley, Chaser of the freshman team."
Cedric sighed helplessly, shrugged towards his father, and explained in a low voice.
He was now beginning to somewhat agree with Mr. Diggory's view that the Weasleys were indeed troublesome. Especially this first-year student who has just entered Hogwarts is a huge trouble - with six brothers at school, Ginny is like a little witch.
And the worst thing is that under the instigation of the Weasley twins who are afraid of chaos in the world, this witch especially likes to target him.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since the last time he rejected Qiu Zhang's invitation to form a team, Ginny has tormented him more frequently. From time to time, she will use various reasons to drag him to the freshman team as a sparring partner, and she has always deliberately Unintentionally brought him and Qiu Zhang together.
In terms of motivation alone, this noisy and quirky Miss Weasley has an amazing tacit understanding with her father.
However, from Cedric's point of view, Qiu Zhang, who has an oriental appearance, is very good in appearance and personality, and he is somewhat moved by it.
Therefore, during this period of time, he half-heartedly agreed to Ginny's invitation to lead the Hufflepuff team to play training games with the freshmen representative team - another reason is because, in addition to the freshmen, None of the three teams were willing to train with Hannah.
"I'm a Seeker, not a Beater - it's Miss Abbott's job to deal with the Quaffle. Well, what are you doing today?"
Cedric Diggory casually threw the Quaffle back into the sky, raised his head helplessly and asked.
"We won the game this weekend against Hufflepuff, so Granger asked me to ask, do you Hufflepuffs plan to host a social party? Aren't you a prefect of Hufflepuff House? If there’s no problem, go ahead and arrange the program for tonight—”
Ginny said in a brisk tone as she swayed in the sky.
"Due to the professors' request, the heads of the colleges must apply to host such small-scale cross-college activities, and provide corresponding plans and actors. Sister Elena has passed it now, and it's up to you. Oh - by the way, this time everyone from our freshmen team, um, Qiu will also come to organize and referee the banquet. You should understand what I mean, don’t be so stupid this time..."
Ginny paused for a few seconds, glared menacingly at Cedric Diggory, and pulled up her broom.
"Okay, the message has been conveyed. If you don't refuse, then it is assumed that you agree? Remember to divide into groups."
