Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 464 Quidditch Selection
"Harry! Mike! What are you two doing? Let me go! I'm going back to work on my thesis!"

Hermione screamed and struggled.

However, this is all useless work. After a long period of exercise and the nutritional supplements given by Sirius, Harry's height has gradually surpassed that of Hermione. Needless to say, Mike, under the support of these two big men, one left and one right Hermione's feet were off the ground in an instant, and the so-called struggle could only be meaningless kicking.

"Come on Hermione, forget about those damn papers, what you need now is to relax. Besides, today is Ron's Quidditch tryout day, you really should go and have a look."

"Don't bullshit Harry! I really have something to do!" Hermione kept begging, but Harry was unmoved. In desperation, Hermione turned her target to Mike and said, "Mike! Don't talk to me. Harry does such childish things, put me down!"

"Unfortunately," Mike raised his eyebrows at Hermione, "I'm on Harry's side this time, you really need to relax."

After saying that, Mike and Harry smiled at each other, and then continued to carry Hermione towards the outside of the castle.

Hermione, a girl, is naturally not as stubborn as two boys, Harry and Mike, so after struggling for a while, she finally gave in and asked Harry and Mike to put her down and let her go by herself.

There is no other way, the three of them will leave the castle soon, if those girls see her being carried away by two boys, rumors will definitely spread everywhere when they go back.

Mike and Harry naturally agreed to this request, they put Hermione down neatly, and pretended to take the heavy stack of books in Hermione's hand over with good intentions.

In this way, as long as the textbooks are still in their hands, even if Hermione runs away halfway, she can't go back to do her homework!

Naturally, Hermione knew their carelessness, she rolled her eyes but said nothing, and continued to follow the two towards the Quidditch pitch.

She was indeed a bit too busy during this period, and even the acne on her face began to break out due to too little sleep time.

She really misses the time twister at the moment!

When the three of them came to the Quidditch training ground, it was already overcrowded. Although this was only the selection of Gryffindor Quidditch players, almost all the school team members except those who were purely watching the excitement also came. here we go.

They came to investigate the enemy's situation, which Harry knew very well.

He placed Mike and Hermione in the stands, and then changed into a set of Quidditch protective gear and entered the field.

On the field, dozens of players of different ages were already waiting for him.

Among them, there are only about five or six official Gryffindor players, which is easy to distinguish, because only their protective gear fits well, and most of the other students' Quidditch protective gear is tattered and crooked.

Although Mike himself is not interested in Quidditch, it can be seen from the number of candidates who have done so that the sport of Quidditch is really popular at Hogwarts.

Of course, Mike believes that many of them don't really like Quidditch that much, they just want to join the Gryffindor school team.

This is easy to understand.

You must know that in the loose education schools with club culture like the United States and China, the members of the sports club are always superior and the most popular.

For example, the school rugby and basketball players in the United States, the school football players in China, the kendo club and baseball team members in Neon.

These people always belong to the top class in the internal class of students, so you may not understand it.

Let's make an analogy.

As long as you are an official member of these sports clubs and you are not ugly, then congratulations, as long as you want, you will never lack girlfriends.

This is the same for Hogwarts.

The regular players of the school Quidditch team are also the most popular in their respective houses.

Like Ravenclaw's Cho Chang.

Do you think she is called the Pearl of Ravenclaw purely because of her beautiful face full of exotic charm?

No, that's only part of the reason.

Most importantly, she became the Seeker for the Ravenclaw school team.

Thinking of this, Mike shook his head with a smile, and brought his gaze back to Hermione beside him.

Their mission today was to make Hermione relax, which he hadn't forgotten.

It's just that Hermione's condition doesn't look very good, her legs are tightly closed together, her hands are clasped together, and her body can't help but move away from Mike.

It's typically tense.

Mike decided not to be silent anymore, he spoke:
"This is Harry's first selection of rookies after he became the captain of Quidditch. Do you think he can recruit players that satisfy him?"

"Ah? Ah! Of course, Harry's standards are very low. He even wanted to admit Ron directly."

Hermione froze for a moment, and then realized that Mike was talking to her, speaking very fast.

"Oh? Then Ron should be very happy. I remember he always wanted to join the school team, and this time he finally got his wish."

"No, Ron turned down Harry's offer, and he decided to do it on his own."

"Ok?"

Mike raised his eyebrows in surprise. To be honest, Ron's operation really surprised him, because Ron didn't seem like the kind of guy who didn't want to go through the back door.

Hermione was obviously also very interested in this topic, she talked to Mike about how Harry helped Ron train, while Mike listened quietly and echoed with a smile from time to time.

He wasn't interested in these things, he was just chatting with Hermione.

But thanks to Ron, the atmosphere between Mike and Hermione gradually heated up, and a smile began to appear on Hermione's face.

And at this moment, the selection of newcomers for the Gryffindor school team also began.

Harry divided all the subjects into several groups and asked them to fly around the field on broomsticks as a group.

Mike had to admit that this was a brilliant idea, because not long after take-off, several students who seemed to be very young fell off the broom, thanks to Harry and the others who had been guarding below seriously injured.

Seeing this, Mike couldn't help shaking his head. These people were obviously joining in the fun. Mike would bet that these people didn't even take Mrs. Hodge's flying lessons well.

The situation in the latter groups was also very bad, except for those who came to join in the fun, there were even some who came to make trouble.

For example, those who are leaving now, the yellow bow ties around their necks have already revealed their Hufflepuff identities.

And there are many people who impersonate and participate in the Gryffindor rookie selection like them, and Mike even saw Ravenclaw students in it.

He almost instinctively looked in the direction of the Ravenclaw stands, where a group of Ravenclaw players headed by Franklin were looking at the audience with a smirk on their faces. Who is the culprit of all this has not been said. And metaphor.

At the beginning of the selection, Harry still maintained restraint. He politely accepted those who were not qualified, but after encountering all kinds of strange things one after another, a good-tempered person like Harry was completely irritated.

He was yelling and cursing at the non-Gryffindor rookies so loudly that even Mike could hear them.

It's just that those people didn't take Harry seriously for a while, so they left the stadium happily.

"It's not easy being a good Quidditch captain, is it?"

Hermione said with a sigh.

"It's not easy, but so far Harry is doing pretty well." Mike nodded and said, "At least his selection methods are very correct. If in the end he chooses a non-Gryffindor player as the principal Team members, it would be really embarrassing."

"You really think so? I mean Harry was chosen in a good way!"

Hermione's eyes lit up, and Mike nodded inexplicably.

"That was the idea I came up with!"

Seeing Hermione looking up and complimenting me, Mike also smiled slightly, and unceremoniously offered his words of praise.

This made Hermione even happier. The two chatted happily, laughing and cursing while watching the busy Harry and the others in the audience, without any embarrassment from before.

But at this moment, a scene on the field attracted the attention of the two of them.

I saw a complaining boy with a thick blond hair riding a broomstick, hovering over the stands, and kept saying hello to the audience.

When he got closer, Mike realized that he was a very handsome boy. He had a rather handsome face. At the moment, that face was filled with a bright smile, giving people a very sunny feeling.

This is the type that is very popular with girls in ordinary schools.

Mike made a judgment without hesitation.

The boy obviously knew this too, so he was a little swollen.

He flew around the field, blowing kisses to the girls in the stands constantly.

"Ladies! I will be Gryffindor's new goalkeeper today, can you give me your contact information after the match?"

The boy was indeed very popular with the girls. His actions and words won rounds of cheers from the girls in the stands. Several girls in the lower grades were so excited that they almost fainted.

Later, he even flew in front of Hermione to show off, but after seeing Mike sitting next to Hermione, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and then he moved away at a faster speed than when he came. The stands here.

Mike snorted coldly when he saw this, this boy is quite sensible.

"Oh! Cormac McLaggen, he's a seventh-year Gryffindor and a member of Professor Slughorn's slug club."

Hermione introduced Mike with a sneer.

"What?" Mike asked, "You don't like him?"

"Everyone who knows his true face doesn't like him!" Hermione curled her lips in disgust, "He cheated many girls' feelings by relying on his good looks and money, he is a famous flirt at Hogwarts Young master, scumbag!"

Mike raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about it.

Hermione said with some concern:

"However, he plays Quidditch very well, and this time he is the goalkeeper for the election. It will be difficult for Ron with him."

Just as we were talking, the selection of the Quidditch goalkeeper for the Gryffindor school team finally started.

Harry frowned and ordered Cormac to go back to his place loudly. It could be seen that he didn't have a good impression of this Cormac either.

It's just that the other party obviously didn't care, he made an emergency stop and floated in front of the three circular door frames in a very chic way, which aroused cheers from the girls in the stands.

Cormac shook his bangs triumphantly, and hooked his fingers towards Harry and the others below.

Now the official players couldn't bear it any longer, they flew up to the opposite of Cormac, and the Quaffle was constantly being bouncing up and down in their hands.

Suddenly, the regular team members moved.

They quickly interspersed in the air, doing complex tactical moves, and the Quaffle was also quickly passed between them. The passing speed was so fast that the Quaffle almost turned into an afterimage.

These official players obviously showed their real skills, but it didn't bother Cormac, his eyes were firmly locked on the Quaffle, and his hands wearing heavy gloves were also raised, always vigilant.

Finally, with a shout, the Quaffle was hit hard by a boy.

But then Cormac, who was in front of the door frame, moved and hugged the Quaffle precisely.

Unexpectedly, there was another burst of cheers from the stands.

And Mike nodded slightly, this Cormac is still a bit capable.

After some fan interaction the Quaffle is back in the hands of the batsmen again, the keeper's test is simple, the batsmen will take ten shots and whoever refuses the most shots will be the new Gryffindor official goalkeeper.

And Cormac has already blocked a goal!

Hermione frowned tightly. If Cormac was allowed to continue, then Ron would basically not be able to enter the Gryffindor school team, because Ron's best score in training was just rejecting five Just one shot.

Thinking of this, Hermione quietly took out her wand.

The field test is still in full swing. In a short period of time, Cormac has stopped three Quaffles, but only one shot into the goal.

The other goalkeepers waiting off the field were all desperate, especially Ron, who lowered his head, and tears were still flowing in his red eyes.

But the next moment, there were boos in the stands.

Ron looked up sharply, and saw Cormac floating in mid-air with his mouth wide open and his face dull, while the batters opposite him cheered.

For a moment Ron couldn't figure out what was going on, but soon he understood why.

Because the next Quaffle came again.

I saw Cormac as if he was drunk, and rushed towards the opposite direction of the incoming ball in a daze!

"puff!"

The ball went in again!

Ron's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and at this moment, he felt like he was doing it again!
