Chapter 755: New Lineup

This year, Severus Snape finally became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Allen's ancient magic class will teach students to use black magic correctly, and Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is almost talking about black magic with a tone of love and admiration-like Allen, he also chose In order to let the sixth grade students start to learn the silent spell technique in a hands-on way, he divided the wizards into two groups, one of which tried to cast a jinx on the other, but was not allowed to say it aloud; In order to repel the evil curse, he was also not allowed to make a sound.

The wizard apprentices at Hogwarts blushed and closed their mouths tightly, fearing that they would not be able to resist the temptation, and whispered the spell. And those who try to repel the curse are holding up their wands, constantly chanting the Iron Armor Curse silently, waiting in fear to repel a spell that seems never to be cast-only in the classroom except for intensive training classes and a few talents. Extraordinary geniuses have practiced and mastered this technique for a long time in advance. Most of the young wizards, including D.A members, are trying this advanced technique of casting spells for the first time. It is too difficult for them to cast a spell successfully in the first practice.

Due to such pressure, the sixth grade wizards seized the time after class and practiced silent spells day and night, because not only Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but Charms class and Transfiguration class also began to make such a request in conjunction. .

So in the Hogwarts castle, whether it is the common room of the college or the auditorium, the junior wizards can often see these senior wizards with flushed faces and secretly competing with themselves, as if Overdose of Constipation Kernel - if Cedric Diggory had remained at Hogwarts, he would have found the faces of his fellows in the house all changed in a day Very much like his dad, Amos Diggory of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Fantastic Beasts...

What liberates these wizards from the day and night of silent spell practice is the Quidditch trials.

Emily has reached the age standard for being selected as a Quidditch team. Slytherin wizards are not surprised that the sister of the world's best Seeker will also appear on the Quidditch field, but Pansy followed Emily. It was very strange for everyone to appear behind him on the Quidditch field and prepare to participate in the selection.

"Pansy, why did you come to participate in the selection?" Draco turned the broom in his hand. He used to call Pansy to come to the Quidditch team. She said that she just wanted to sit on the court and cheer for herself. Why did she take the initiative to participate in the selection today.

"Draco, Emily thinks my extra-curricular life should be richer, so I want to come with you." Since the incident in the Room of Requirement, the relationship between the two witches has become more than the friendship between the two witches due to status differences. A little more sincere.

With his status in Slytherin, Draco, who defeated another popular candidate, Urquhart, to become the captain of Quidditch, turned his voice softly to the little princess of the Harris family: "Emily, do you want Which position to play?"

"I want to be in the same position as Allen, Seeker." Emily smiled sweetly, as if she didn't consider that the Slytherin Quidditch captain in front of her was the Seeker.

"Uh...Emily can try it later." Draco's voice seemed to be choked by someone, he coughed dryly and felt that his tone was a bit dry, so he added, "You are Ellen's sister , must have flown very well..."

Pansy did a surprising job at the Slytherin team selection, choosing her campaign batsman.

Every Quidditch team has two batsmen, and they are the only players on the pitch with bats. Their job is to keep the Bludger away from their own team's players while trying to hit it as close as possible to the opposing player - a batsman needs to be physically strong and have a lot of strength in his arms because only then can he shoulder the batting throughout the game. The task of playing Bludgers. Therefore, this position is more likely to be filled by wizards than witches.

One exception, however, was Gwenog Jones, the famous Holyhead Harpies captain,

Born in 1968, she was one of Horace Slughorn's favorite students while studying at Hogwarts, and thus entered his slug club. After graduating in June 1986, Gwenog She became a batsman for the all-female Holyhead Harpies and eventually captained the team. She is still in close contact with her Potions teacher, Horace Slughorn. As long as Slughorn is willing, Gwenog will help him get free tickets.

At present, Panxi is tough on the field. Although she is not as powerful as her powerful female senior, she is merciless when she swings the club and hits the Bludger at the wizard. The ball hit hard one by one all the opponents who dared to challenge her.

The hitter also needs good balance, because it is often necessary to let go of the broom with both hands at the same time to hit the bludger-the lack of strength Pansy does a good job at this point, and was previously drawn into the team by Draco Although Crabbe's arm strength is amazing, it is much worse than flying skills in this respect. Therefore, regardless of selfishness or consideration for the team, Pencey was finally selected as one of the main hitters this year, and Crabbe Became a backup for her and another hitter, Gore, who has decent arm strength and flight.

Pansy, who landed on the lawn to wipe her sweat, felt good. In this kind of battle, she seemed to have vented a little bit of the pressure from the summer vacation through this method. Although her body was a little tired, her mind relaxed a lot.

There were only two candidates for the Seeker position, Emily Harris and Draco Malfoy.

Emily performed very well on the field. She is petite and has a very flexible posture in avoiding Bludgers. Moreover, the Golden Snitch released this time is like the game between Draco and Harry in the second grade. Between the buildings in the stands, Draco, who has grown up a lot, obviously has an advantage over Emily, who has just reached the second grade.

This is both unexpected and reasonable. Although Draco has a lot of experience in the game, the athletes who are the Seeker are usually some of the lightest and fastest flying broomstick pilots. He must have keen eyesight , you must also have the ability to grab a broomstick with one hand or without hands—and Emily has taken attribute potions far more than Draco. Without considering strength, the advantages and disadvantages brought by age are negligible. After all, golfers are the position that relies most on flying talent.

And Emily's flying talent shown today is obviously better than Draco's. Thinking of Emily's brother Alan, who is the best Seeker in the world, the other Slytherin players who were a little surprised thought that this didn't seem to be so. Surprising thing.

In the end, Emily won the main position of Slytherin's seeker this year. Although Draco was a little unwilling to do so, after he transferred himself to the position of seeker that Allen played at the beginning, Draco was okay. Convince yourself to accept such an arrangement.

"Maybe this year there will be some hope that we can beat Ravenclaw... Let the Quidditch Cup re-engrave our name." When he reorganized the team and returned to the academy, Draco was very satisfied with the lineup he selected this year, and he followed The players have themselves and Urquhart, who is also expected to be the captain, and Vasai formed a good offensive line. The batters include Pencey, who performed well today, and Gore, who is not bad. Benny joined the team as a team, and with good substitutes, the depth of the bench is quite good-the most important thing is that half of the main Quidditch players are now Draco's followers, which makes him very good at managing team affairs. Handy.

After that, Allen sent his clone to preside over the selection of Ravenclaw.

After the entire selection of Ravenclaw, the main team has not changed much. After graduation, Qiu Zhang wants to join the professional club like her boyfriend Cedric, so even if she needs to prepare for the N.E.W.T exam in the seventh grade, she does not seem to choose to quit.

After more than a year of professional club-style professional training, this Ravenclaw Quidditch team, which lacks star players without Allen, looks more like the unique career created by Larry Brown. team up.

This Ravenclaw has no star players and no longer relies on it. After training, every position, whether it is the main force or the substitute, is a high-quality player. Even if these players think their talents can be better utilized, but everyone They all stayed in the most suitable position to play the ability that the team needs them to play, and the new blood who joined this year will continue this tradition.

After a whole semester of brutal training, Ravenclaw, who was originally the least physically gifted among the four Hogwarts teams, became a team with no obvious advantages and disadvantages in terms of player positions. The minds of the Winclaw Hawks, their own understanding and execution of tactics allow them to skillfully use various professional tactics when facing different opponents-this is a team that plays in the right way.

The construction of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team made the captain of the team worried. Compared with the other colleges, Hufflepuff, which has the largest number of people, has not found enough talented wizards to complete the reconstruction. Competing for the Quidditch Cup after Derek left is more like a dream, except for the two Chasers Zacharias Smith and Cadwalade and himself who are barely enough, and in other positions, the other three A large part of the academy-it is their goal to keep themselves from bottom of the overall standings this year.

Hogwarts' last team, Gryffindor selection was Harry's first challenge as Quidditch captain. It's just that except for Ron, everyone else played and laughed and turned a blind eye to the new captain Harry.

Last year, after Harry semi-forced former captain Angelina Johnson to add Ron to the team, the red-haired keeper deliberately put pressure on him because he couldn't stand Slytherin, causing Gryffindor to lose a lot of points. The new captain of Gryffindor is not as good as his predecessors in terms of leading the team-even if his ability in the Seeker position makes the other cubs have nothing to say.

"Shut up!" Just when Harry was in a state of embarrassment, Ginny, who had put on a Quidditch uniform, yelled to silence the scene, and with the breeze blowing her long red hair, she looked Quite heroic.

"Even if you were regular players last year, I don't guarantee that you will be this year... Is that clear?" Seeing that the scene became quiet, Harry followed suit.

Last year, Ron performed very badly as a defender in the game. Driven by Slytherin, other colleges began to call him "King Weasley".

Therefore, there are a lot of people running for the keeper this year. Among them, Cormac McLaggen deliberately bumped Ron's shoulder from behind, jokingly said with a confident expression: "Weasley, don't mind...I want to Playing the position of keeper is really not for you."

Because of the pure blood princess's previous notes, the production of the water of life and death failed, which caused the potion that was supposed to be a powerful sleeping potion to have the opposite effect. Ron, who had been hyperactive and unable to sleep, looked taller than his tall self. Quite a few wizards turned even paler. He waved his hands angrily, trying to drive away the flies surrounding him and said, "With your big size, don't you think you are more suitable as a batter? Hands need eyesight..."

Cormac swung his strong arm violently, dexterously caught the fly with his bare hands with his gloved fingers and made Ron stop talking and stunned: "Let's see which side Lady Luck is on. "

Cormac McLaggen is tall and burly, with his handsome appearance among the best in Gryffindor College and his hairstyle deliberately imitating Allen's back, he is very popular among the girls in the Lion House. In his sixth grade, that is, last year, he was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital after eating the eggs of poisonous foxes for a bet, so he lost the chance to compete for the Quidditch keeper in the hospital and was He was forced to stay in the grade for a year, so he thought that this year was an excellent opportunity to perform, so he participated in the selection again.

In addition, because of McLaggen's too strong Gryffindor-style style and bad grades on the verge of repeating grades, in the eyes of the little witches in other colleges, he thinks that he is just a self-righteous Gryffindor who can't do things well. Fendo is an idiot, he has nothing to redeem except for his good looks.

It was Professor Horace Slughorn who was interested in McLaggen, who had an uncle of high social status.

Although Ron tried his best in this selection, and no one around him sang "King Weasley's song" to him, his performance was much better than that of him in the official arena, but regardless of his age, motor nerves and skills were obviously not enough. The superior Cormac eventually emerged victorious.

Hermione Granger, who was watching the battle from the audience, would not be like the original development, pretending to cough but actually casting spells without a wand, and using the confusion spell on McLaggen's broom to help Ron cheat. And during the train incident during the last semester vacation, after hearing that Ron was not really gay, Lavender Brown, who started to have a good impression of the red-haired wizard because of superstitious divination results, did not have the ability to cast such a spell. ability, I just sat on the sidelines and yelled a few words of encouragement.

Ron was squeezed out of the position of the keeper, seeing his best friend's frustrated look, Harry had to borrow Ron's tall stature and the reputation left by his two twin brothers in Quidditch, Forcibly placed Ron in the batter's position again.

However, the results of this election made Ron, who had finished the selection and accompanied Harry and Ginny to clean up the venue, remain silent, looking devastated.

"Ron, if you really spend all your free time practicing Quidditch as you planned before school started, the ending will be different. You are only two balls behind him." Ginny threw a Bludger Pressing it back into the box, he glanced at Ron sarcastically, "Cheer up, Katie and Demirza, the three female Chasers, I have to rely on you and Jimmy Perks to protect us when we score."

"Didn't I tell you last time that Dumbledore arranged for Sirius to teach us how to transform into Animagus near the Whomping Willow? Sirius will come over this weekend for the first lecture, and Ginny, ancient magic It's time for class again, I don't know what kind of gift Ellen prepared for us this time." Seeing his girlfriend's sarcasm towards her brother made the atmosphere stagnate again, Harry changed the subject but then yawned again, "Ron, my medicine seems to be over, I have to go to sleep for a while..."

"What? In addition to that valuable book, do you have more gifts for class?!" Ron finally came to his senses after hearing this, and then he muttered with annoyance and jealousy, "... rich Well... If I knew there were so many things to get, I should have gone with you in the first place... Your book seems to be worth more than the sum of the teaching materials we will use in Hogwarts for seven years..."
