Chapter 424 I Am Training
After everyone finished writing several feet of homework, the Easter holiday quietly ended.
This also means that the last Quidditch game of the year is about to begin, Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin, and the outcome of this game will also determine the champion.
In everyone's memory, no game has come in such a gunpowder-filled atmosphere.
Everyone can feel that the relationship between the two colleges has become tense to the point of being on the verge of breaking out, but fortunately both sides are still restrained, and there has been no conflict or fight for the time being.
The main reason is that Hufflepuff is famous for its unity. Wherever they go, there is a large group of people, never alone.
Especially Cedric, who is almost treated as a protected animal. Whether in class or eating in the auditorium, he will be accompanied by at least five students in the sixth grade or above.
Flint led people to ambush several times, but in the end they all returned without success.
The treatment of the other members of the team is similar. Although not as luxurious as Cedric, they are better in terms of numbers. A dozen people together, even if they are not old, are still very deterrent.
The only exception was Kyle, who had only one person by his side... Connor.
But no Slytherin dared to come up and cause trouble for Kyle. Sometimes they met in the corridor, but they didn't mean to sneak attack and trip him up.
Those who came from pure-blood families basically knew the relationship between Dean Snape and the surname Prince from their families, so they naturally wouldn't come to cause trouble.
In addition, Kyle was not as easy to deal with as others.
Three special contribution awards to the school and a second-class medal of the Order of Merlin were clearly displayed in the trophy display room. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would beat whom.
So, in this tense atmosphere, Kyle's life was particularly calm, just like usual.
The day before the game.
Kyle and Connor went to the Herbology class together.
As soon as they walked out of the castle gate, they saw Malfoy jumping out from behind the door with a big stick.
Two legs were across him, as if they wanted to trip him... They were Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy's two followers.
"Malfoy, what do you want to do!" Connor said angrily.
After seeing who was coming, Malfoy stopped holding the stick in mid-air, looking confused.
Why is it Kyle and Connor... Didn't Monta say that the person coming was the batsman?
"Damn, that bastard lied to me!" Malfoy also realized that he was cheated, and he was furious.
Malfoy still remembers the experience on the Hogwarts Express three years ago, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Kyle.
And that Prince... If she goes to Dean Snape to complain, no matter what the reason is, no matter who is right or wrong, he will be dead.
"I, I... training..." Malfoy's mind turned, and he immediately swung the stick twice in the air, "In addition to the seeker, I found that I can also be a batsman, you see..."
As he said that, he swung the stick twice... Don't say it, it looks quite like that.
At this time, Crabbe and Goyle also silently retracted their outstretched legs, then turned their faces to the side, pretending to know nothing.
"Then you practice well..." Kyle didn't say anything. When the road ahead was clear, he and Connor left the castle and walked towards the greenhouse.
Malfoy and the other two also ran out of the hallway... ready to settle accounts with Monta.
However, Kyle didn't see this scene. He and Connor came all the way to the third greenhouse.
Classes hadn't started yet, and everyone was waiting at the door.
About five minutes later, Professor Sprout finally came. She opened the door of the greenhouse and let all the students in.
But she stopped Kyle.
"How is it, are you confident in tomorrow's game?" Professor Sprout asked nervously.
"Of course, Professor." Kyle said with a smile, "This year's Quidditch Cup must belong to Hufflepuff."
"I believe in you." Professor Sprout said, "You must win, okay?"
Kyle was a little surprised. If these words were said by Professor McGonagall, he would not be surprised at all. As a senior fan, the weight of the Quidditch Cup in her heart even exceeds the College Cup.
This is what Fred and George said. They said that Professor McGonagall would only show disappointment when she lost the game. Apart from that, even if Gryffindor was deducted 100 points, her expression would not change at all.
But Professor Sprout... To be honest, Kyle always thought that she only cared about her greenhouse.
But he was right.
Professor Sprout really had no interest in Quidditch before, until Hufflepuff won two consecutive championships, she gradually started to watch the game.
And when Hufflepuff went from two consecutive championships to three consecutive championships last year, she watched more games.
The main reason was that the feeling was different.
She has been in Hogwarts for more than ten years. In the past, Hufflepuff had basically no chance to win the two major events of Hogwarts, the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup, and could only win once in a while.
But it is different now. After Hufflepuff won three consecutive championships, Professor McGonagall could not hide her envy when she talked to her.
This feeling is so fresh. I didn't think it was anything before, but after experiencing it, I found that it is indeed different. It seems that I am more confident when I speak.
And the most important thing is that she always felt that there were too few species of plants in the greenhouse and that she should add more, but she just had this idea before and never had the nerve to mention it.
After all, the more precious and rare the plants are, the more expensive they are. Some seeds can even be sold for hundreds of Galleons each, and the school greenhouse is for teaching purposes, so it is naturally impossible to buy only one.
This cost is too much, and she feels a little guilty every time she wants to talk to Professor McGonagall about it.
But now, she decided to talk to Professor McGonagall about this matter after Hufflepuff won the Quidditch championship for the fourth time in a row.
Just like Snape... When Slytherin won the House Cup five times before, he applied for a large number of precious potion materials, and Dumbledore agreed.
Since Snape can do it, there is no reason why she can't... Not to mention that Hufflepuff also won the House Cup three times in a row.
Today we are going to learn about the fang geranium, a dangerous plant with fangs. Although it is not as deadly as the poisonous tentacles, it is not pleasant to be bitten.
The wound will continue to be red, swollen and numb until it heals a week later.
"Everyone wear gloves."
Professor Sprout reminded: "And you must pay attention to your surroundings later. These little things are in the teething period and always want to bite something. Be careful not to be caught behind their branches."
As she said this, she reached out and slapped away a thin branch near her shoulder.
