Chapter 755 New Lineup

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

Allen's Ancient Magic class will teach students the correct use of dark magic, while Professor Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class almost talks about black magic with love and admiration. Like Allen, he also chose to practice it. To let sixth grade students begin to learn silent spell skills, he asked the wizards to divide into groups of two. One of the groups tried to cast a curse on the other, but was not allowed to recite it aloud; the other tried to cast a curse. To get rid of the evil curse, you are also not allowed to say anything.

The wizard apprentices at Hogwarts suppressed their faces red and closed their mouths tightly, for fear that they would not be able to resist the temptation, so they whispered the spell. Those who tried to repel the evil curse held up their wands and kept reciting the Iron Armor Curse silently, waiting in fear to repel a spell that seemed to never come. Only in the classroom, except for the intensive training class and a few talented people. The geniuses have practiced and mastered this technique for a long time in advance. Most of the young wizards, including the members of d.a, tried this advanced technique of casting spells for the first time. They were not able to successfully cast the silent spell. It is too difficult for them to successfully cast a spell 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 the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but also the Charms and Transfiguration classes began to make such requirements in a coordinated manner. .

Therefore, in Hogwarts Castle, whether it is the college common room or the auditorium, junior wizards can often see these senior wizards with their faces flushed and secretly arguing with themselves, as if If Cedric Diggory was still at Hogwarts after taking an overdose of constipation kernels, he would surely find that in one day, the expressions on the faces of his fellow students in the House would look very similar to His father, Amos Diggory of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures...

What liberated these wizards from practicing silent spells day and night was the Quidditch tryouts.

Emily has reached the age standard for being selected as a Quidditch player. The Slytherin wizards are not surprised that the sister of the best seeker in the world will also appear on the Quidditch field, but Pansy follows Emily It was very strange for everyone to appear on the Quidditch field preparing to participate in the selection.

"Pansy, why are you here to participate in the selection?" Draco turned the broom in his hand. He used to ask Pansy to join the Quidditch team. She said that she just wanted to sit in the audience and cheer for her. Why did you take the initiative to participate in the selection today?

"Draco, Emily thinks that my after-school life should be richer, so she asked me to come with you." Since the incident in the Room of Requirement, the relationship between the two witches has become more than the previous friendship due to status differences. A little more sincere.

By virtue of his position in Slytherin, Draco defeated Urquhart, another popular candidate, to become the Quidditch captain. He softened his voice to the little princess of the Harris family: "Emily, what do you want? Which position to play?”

"I want the same position as Alan, Seeker." Emily smiled sweetly, as if she hadn't considered that the Slytherin Quidditch captain in front of her was the Seeker.

"Uh...Emily can try it later." Draco's voice seemed to be strangled by someone's throat. He coughed dryly and felt that his tone was a little dry, so he added, "You are Allen's sister. , must be flying well..."

Pansy's performance in the Slytherin team selection was surprising, and she chose to run for the Beater.

Every Quidditch team has two batters, who are the only players on the field with bats. Their job is to keep the Bludger away from players on their own team and at the same time try to hit it toward the opposing team. Batters need to be physically strong and have a lot of strength in their arms, because only in this way can they carry the Bludgers on their shoulders throughout the game. The task of walking the ball. Therefore, this position is more likely to be filled by wizards than witches.

However, the exception is Gwenog Jones, the famous captain of the Holyhead Harpies. She was born in 1968 and was one of Horace Slughorn's favorite students during her studies at Hogwarts. Entering his Slugs club, and after graduating in June 1986, Gwenog became a batsman for the all-female team Holyhead Harpies and eventually became team captain. She is still in close contact with her Potions teacher, Horace Slughorn, and Gwenog will help Slughorn get free tickets for him if he is willing.

Pansy currently has a tough style on the field. Although she is not as powerful as her powerful female predecessor, she is merciless when she swings her stick to hit the Bludger at the wizard. The ball hit all opponents who dared to challenge her one by one.

Batters also need good balance, because they often need to let go of the broom with both hands at the same time to hit the Bludger. Pansy does a good job at this point, and Clara, who was previously pulled into the team by Draco, Although Boo has amazing arm strength, he is much inferior in this aspect and flying skills. Therefore, regardless of selfishness or consideration for the team, Pansy was finally selected as one of the main hitters this year, and Crabbe became She and Gall, another hitter with decent arm strength and flight, were the backup.

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

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

Emily performed very well on the court. With her petite body, she was very flexible in flying up and down to avoid the Bludgers. Moreover, the golden snitch released this time was just like the game between Draco and Harry in the second grade. Arriving between the buildings in the stands, Draco, who had grown up a lot, obviously had an advantage in this situation compared to Emily, who had just arrived in second grade.

This is both unexpected and reasonable. Although Draco has a lot of experience in the game, the player who is a seeker is usually some of the lightest and fastest flying broomstick pilots. He must have keen eyesight. , you must also have the ability to grasp a broomstick with one or no hands. And Emily has taken attribute potions far more than Draco. Without considering strength, the advantages and disadvantages brought by age are insignificant. Seeker After all, it is the position that relies most on flying talent to make a living.

And Emily's flying talent shown today is obviously more outstanding than Draco's. Thinking of Emily's brother Alan, who is the best seeker in the world, the other Slytherin players were a little surprised and thought that this didn't seem to be that important. Something surprising.

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

"Perhaps there will be some hope of defeating Ravenclaw this year... Let the Quidditch Cup be engraved with our name again." After reorganizing the team and returning to the academy, Draco was very satisfied with the lineup he selected this year. The golfers include myself, Urquhart and Vasai, who were also expected to be elected captain, forming a good offensive line. The batsmen include Pansy, who performed well today, and Gall, who is not bad. Beanie has joined the team and has good substitutes, so the depth of the bench is quite good. Most importantly, half of the main Quidditch players are now Draco's followers, which makes him very handy in managing team affairs.

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

After the entire Ravenclaw selection, there were not many changes in the main team. After Qiu Zhang graduated, she wanted to join a professional club like her boyfriend Cedric, so even when she needed to prepare for the n.e.w.t exam in seventh grade, she did not choose to quit.

After more than a year of professional club-style training, the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, which lacked star players after losing Allen, looked more like the unique professional team created by Larry Brown. Team.

This Ravenclaw does not have star players and no longer relies on it. After training, every position, whether the main player or the substitute, is a high-quality player. Even if these players think that their talents can be better utilized, everyone They have stayed in the position that suits them best and exerted the abilities that the team needs from them, 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 teams at Hogwarts, became a team with no obvious advantages or obvious disadvantages in player positions. The minds of Vinclaw's Eagles, their understanding of tactics and their ability to execute allow them to skillfully use a variety of professional tactics when facing different opponents. This is a team that plays the game in the right way.

The construction of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team makes the captain of this team very worried. Compared with several other colleges, Hufflepuff, which has the largest number of people, has not found enough talented wizards to join to complete the reconstruction. After Derek left, competing for the Quidditch Cup was more like a dream. Except for the two Chasers Zachary Smith and Cadwallader and himself, who were barely qualified, there were three other houses missing in other positions. Their goal is to keep themselves out of the bottom of the overall standings this year.

The final team at Hogwarts, the Gryffindor selectors are Harry's first challenge after becoming Quidditch captain. Except for Ron, everyone else was joking and laughing while turning a blind eye to the new captain, Harry.

Last year, after Harry half-forced his former captain Angelina Johnson to add Ron to the team, the red-haired goalkeeper deliberately put pressure on him because he couldn't stand Slytherin, causing Gryffindor to lose a lot of points. The new captain of Llanffindor is not as good as his predecessors in leading the team, even if his ability in the seeker position is beyond comparison with other young lions.

"Shut up!" Just when Harry was embarrassed, Ginny, who had put on her Quidditch uniform, roared and silenced the scene. Her long red hair was blown up by the breeze, making her look like Quite heroic.

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

Last year, Ron's performance as a keeper was very poor in the game. Under the leadership of Slytherin, other houses began to call him "King Weasley".

Therefore, there are many people running for the goalkeeper this year. Among them, Cormac McLaggen deliberately bumped Ron's shoulder from behind, and said jokingly with a confident expression: "Weasley, don't mind... I want to play too." The position of fielder is really not meant for you.”

Because of the failed creation of the water of life and death due to the notes of the pure-blood princess, the potion that was supposed to be a powerful sleeping agent had the opposite effect. Ron, who was always in high spirits and unable to sleep, looked even taller than his tall self. Many wizards looked even paler. He waved his hands in annoyance to try to drive away the flies surrounding him and said: "With your big body, don't you think you are more suitable to be a batsman? Keep the ball." You have to have a sharp eye and a sharp hand..."

Cormac suddenly waved his strong arm, and dexterously caught the fly with his bare hands with protective gloves, and Ron stopped talking and was stunned: "Let's see which side Lady Luck is on. "

Cormac McLaggen was tall and tall, and his handsome appearance, one of the best in Gryffindor House, and his hairstyle that deliberately imitated Allen's slicked back made him very popular among the girls in the Lion House. In his sixth grade, last year, he ate poisonous vixen eggs in order to make a bet and was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital. As a result, he lost the opportunity to compete for the Quidditch keeper in the hospital and was also admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital. He was forced to repeat a grade for one academic year, so he thought that this year would be a great opportunity to perform, so he participated in the selection again.

In addition, because of McLaggen's overly strong Gryffindor style and poor grades on the verge of repeating a grade, the little witches in other houses thought that he was just a self-righteous Gryffindor who couldn't do things with his brains. Fendo is an idiot, with nothing to save his appearance.

Professor Horace Slughorn, on the other hand, was quite interested in McLaggen, who had an uncle of high social status.

Although Ron worked hard in this selection, and no one around him sang "King Weasley's Song" to him, his performance was much better than in the official game, but his age, motor skills and skills were obviously inferior. The superior Cormac ultimately emerged victorious.

Hermione Granger, who was watching the battle in the audience, would not pretend to cough but actually cast a Confusion Charm on McLaggen's broom without a wand to help Ron cheat, as was the original development. During the train incident during the holidays last semester, after hearing that Ron was not really gay, Lavender Brown, who began to have some affection for the red-haired wizard due to superstitious divination results, did not yet have the ability to cast such a spell. , just sitting on the sidelines and shouting a few cheers.

Ron was pushed out of the position of goalkeeper. Seeing his close friend's depressed look, Harry had to take advantage of Ron's tall stature and the reputation left by his two twin brothers in Quidditch. Ron was forcibly placed in the batter's position again.

But the result of this election made Ron, who had accompanied Harry and Ginny to clean up the venue after the selection, remained silent, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net looking very shocked.

"Ron, if you had spent all your free time practicing Quidditch like you planned before school started, the ending would have been different. You were only two balls short of him." Ginny threw a Bludger. Pressing back into the box, he glanced at Ron sarcastically, "Cheer up, Katie, Demelza, and I, the three female chasers, have to rely on you and Jimmy Perks to protect me 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 lesson, and Ginny, ancient magic The class time is coming again, and I wonder what kind of gift Alan has prepared for us this time." Seeing his girlfriend's sarcasm towards her brother, the atmosphere became stagnant again. Harry changed the topic but then yawned again. "Ron, it seems that the effect of my medicine has passed. I have to go to sleep for a while..."

"What? In addition to that valuable book, you got more gifts for class?!" Ron finally came to his senses after hearing this, and then he muttered with annoyance and jealousy on his face, "... Rich people are really Well...if I had known there were so many things to take, I should have gone with you in the first place...Your book looks like it is probably worth more than the total value of the textbooks we will use in our seven years at Hogwarts..."
