Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 374 The New Team
In early October, the Quidditch season drew near.

Cedric has been getting more and more nervous recently. No matter where he goes now, he always holds a notebook and writes and draws on it.

Moreover, the book he usually reads has also changed from "The Development and Change of Medieval Spells"...to "Detailed Explanation of One Hundred Quidditch Tactics".

According to Cedric's words, "When Harris was the captain, the team never lost. I have to keep the Quidditch Cup in Hufflepuff."

Second weekend of October.

Kyle wanted to sleep in, but Cedric ran over early in the morning and dragged him to the auditorium without any explanation.

"Training, Kyle, you've been absent three times!"

When the two were eating beef sandwiches, Cedric said seriously, "You will be fine this time..."

"Uh... probably not." Looking at Cedric's unfriendly eyes, Kyle said with a guilty conscience.

The main reason is that some time ago, the mandrakes he planted in the Room of Requirement began to become active, which is also a sign that they are about to mature.

A few months later than expected, but finally coming of age.

In order to ensure that there will be no problems in the end, Kyle will run to the Room of Requirement whenever he has time.

Not to mention the training, he didn't even miss the recess, he was very busy.

The good news is that his efforts were not in vain... the mandrakes are all mature and healthy, and their calls can be said to be full of energy.

Although Kyle was wearing earmuffs the whole time, judging from their performance and demeanor, it should be true.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Cedric gave him a suspicious look.

"Sure!" Kyle nodded.

The poisonous tentacles should still take some time, and it is estimated that by the end of this year, it should be almost the same.

But it was still early.

And after Cedric became the captain, it is really unreasonable for him to miss so many training sessions directly.

Those who don't know think that he is dissatisfied with Cedric, the captain.

Kyle didn't want to leave this illusion to others.

After becoming the captain, he has to be responsible for recruiting new players, and also responsible for formulating training plans and game tactics. He is so busy that he should leave it to Cedric.

"So much the better."

Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice, "The game is about to start, no matter how busy you are, you still have to participate in training as much as possible, and at least cooperate with the new players... We have too many players this time." Four new players."

There are seven people in a team, four of them are new players, and more than half of them have been replaced directly. It is no wonder that Cedric is really nervous.

"Wait..." Kyle suddenly realized something, raised his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Four!"

"Aren't there three?" Kyle looked at him suspiciously, "Two Chasers, one goalkeeper... I remember that they were the only three in one class."

"So, you don't care about the team at all..." Cedric's eyes became unkind again.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still explained: "The seventh-grade batsman Wright wants to join the Aurors after graduation, but his grades are not outstanding, and he just meets the minimum requirements.

And Quidditch training takes up too much time, in order to get a few more certificates after graduation... Just yesterday, he just submitted an application for quitting the team to me. "

"Yesterday?" Kyle frowned, "It's been so long, can Ms. Hooch agree to our replacement?"

"She agreed."

Cedric said, "It's not uncommon for many people to hesitate between Quidditch and their certificates because they are approaching graduation, like Wright.

Probably because they don't want to delay their graduation, as long as they are seventh graders, they can quit anytime they want...even before the last competition. "

Kyle nodded, he really didn't know this before.

"Have you found someone to replace him?" Kyle asked.

"There are a few candidates." Cedric said in a low voice, "I think your roommate is good, the one named Mikel."

"Mikel?" Kyle was a little surprised.

"Yes." Cedric said, "Do you still remember when he was in the second grade, he insisted on holding a Bludger across half of the court? This is not something that ordinary people can do. It requires enough strength in the arm just work.

Now that I think about it, he seems to have a lot of talent as a hitter...with a little work, of course. "

After that, the two called Mikel, who had just finished breakfast, and two other students, and went to the Quidditch pitch together.

But they had just arrived when another team of men in red robes entered the field, all with broomsticks in hand.

"Cedric?" Oliver Wood strode over, "Shouldn't your training time be in the afternoon?"

"That's right." Cedric explained: "But something happened. Ms. Hooch allowed us to book today's stadium to select new players."

"New players? But now... oh..." Wood suddenly realized halfway through the sentence, and asked tentatively, "Your seventh-grade batter?"

"Ah, yes." Cedric didn't hide, "He quit, in order to have more time to study... so we must hurry up and choose a new batsman.

Sorry, I may have to make you a waste of time. "

Oliver Wood smiled subconsciously on his face, but quickly held back.

"It's okay, your business is obviously more important." He said briskly, as if he didn't care that training time was taken up.

"I reckon Oliver's heart is full of joy."

On the way back, Fred whispered to Harry, "He always thought Hufflepuff was our biggest rival."

"But they've had some trouble this year," George said. "Three of their old players have graduated, plus Wright has quit."

"That means..." Harry thought for a while and said, "Most of the Hufflepuff teams we will face this year are new players with no experience in the game?"

"exactly!"

At this time, Oliver Wood turned his head and said: "For us, this is a great opportunity... Hufflepuff's glorious era has passed, and we will definitely be able to take the Quidditch Cup from them this time. return!"

He clenched his fists, "Since Harry joined the team, I have always thought that winning the Quidditch Cup is a sure thing, but I haven't been able to do so. This is the last chance..."

Wood is in the seventh grade this year, and he will also graduate next year. After that, all the results of the team will have nothing to do with him... He is eager to win a victory.

……

"I guess Gryffindor must be snickering now." On the field, Kyle looked at their backs when they left, and whispered: "But it's okay to replace so many experienced old players at once." There is a way."

"But they got it wrong a little bit."

Cedric smiled and said: "New players don't mean they are weak, and experience on the field can be accumulated slowly in the game."

"And..." He glanced at Kyle, "We also have the best Chaser in Hogwarts."

"Well, you're right to say that." Kyle admitted without feeling embarrassed at all.

Cedric is indeed fit to be the captain...at least he has a good eye.
