Chapter 464 Quidditch Selection

"Harry! Mike! What are you two doing? Let me go! I have to go back and write a paper!"

Hermione screamed and struggled.

However, this was all in vain. After a long period of exercise and the nutritional supplements given by Sirius, Harry's height had gradually surpassed Hermione's. Needless to say, Mike, with the support of these two big men, one on the left and one on the 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 the day when Ron participates in Quidditch trials. You should really go and take a good look."

"Stop talking nonsense Harry! I really still 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 him. Harry is doing such a childish thing, put me down quickly!"

"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 looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to carry Hermione towards the outside of the castle.

Naturally, Hermione, a girl, couldn't stand up to 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 was nothing we could do otherwise. The three of them were about to leave the castle. If those girls saw her being carried away by two boys, rumors would definitely fly all over the sky after they returned.

Mike and Harry naturally agreed to this request. They put Hermione down neatly, and pretended to be well-intentioned and took the heavy stack of books in Hermione's hand.

In this way, as long as the textbooks are still in their hands, even if Hermione runs away midway, they will not be able to go back to do their homework!

Hermione was naturally aware of their little intentions. She rolled her eyes but said nothing and continued to follow the two of them towards the Quidditch pitch.

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

She really missed the time turner at the moment!

When the three of them arrived at the Quidditch training ground, it was already overcrowded. Although this was only the selection of Gryffindor Quidditch players, apart from the spectators who were just watching the fun, almost all the school team members from the academy were also here. Got here.

They were here to investigate the enemy's situation, Harry knew this very well.

He placed Mike and Hermione in the stands, and then changed into a set of Quidditch protective gear and went on 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 is suitable, 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 that Quidditch is really popular at Hogwarts.

Of course, Mike believed that many of them didn't actually like Quidditch that much. They just simply wanted to join the Gryffindor school team.

This is easy to understand.

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

For example, the American school football players and basketball players, the Korean school football players, and the neon kendo club and baseball team members.

These people are always at the top of the student hierarchy, which you may not understand.

Let’s use an analogy.

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

The same thing applies to Hogwarts.

The official members of the Quidditch school team are also the most popular people in their respective houses.

Like Cho Chang from Ravenclaw.

Do you think she is called the jewel of Ravenclaw purely because of her exotic and beautiful face?

No, that's only part of the reason.

The most important thing is that she became the seeker of the Ravenclaw school team.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled and shook his head, then returned his gaze to Hermione beside him.

Their mission today was to get Hermione to relax, and he didn't forget that.

However, Hermione's condition didn't look good. Her legs were tightly closed together, her hands were clasped together, and her body was involuntarily leaning away from Mike.

This is typically tense.

Mike decided not to remain silent anymore and spoke:

"This is Harry's first selection since he became the Quidditch captain. Do you think he can recruit players that satisfy him?"

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

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

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

"No, Ron rejected Harry's offer and decided to rely on himself."

"Um?"

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 kept telling Mike how Harry helped Ron train, while Mike listened quietly, smiling and chiming in from time to time.

He had no interest in these things, he was just chatting with Hermione.

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

At this moment, the selection of new players for the Gryffindor school team also began on the field.

Harry divided all the test 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 great idea, because not long after taking off, several students who looked very young fell off the broomsticks. Thanks to Harry and the others who had been watching below, they did not fall. seriously injured.

Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but shake his head. These people were obviously just joining in the fun. Mike bet that these people had never even taken a few of Mrs. Hodge's flying lessons.

The situation of the following groups is also very bad. Except for those who come to join in the fun, there are even those who come specifically to cause trouble.

For example, those who are leaving now, the yellow ties around their necks have revealed their identities as Hufflepuffs.

There were many people who pretended to be Gryffindor newcomers like them, and Mike even saw a Ravenclaw student inside.

He almost instinctively looked in the direction of the Ravenclaw stands, where a group of Ravenclaw players headed by Franklin were looking at the field with evil smiles on their faces. It was not revealed who the culprit of all this was. And it’s a metaphor.

After the selection started, Harry still maintained restraint and politely asked those who were unqualified to stand. However, after encountering various weird things one after another, even a good-tempered person like Harry was completely angered.

He yelled and cursed at the non-Gryffindor newcomers so loudly that even Mike could hear them.

But it was obvious that those people didn't take Harry seriously, and they left the stadium laughing.

"It's hard to be a good Quidditch captain, isn't it?"

Hermione said with a sigh.

"It is indeed not easy, but so far it seems that Harry has done quite well." Mike nodded and said, "At least his selection method is very correct. If in the end he chooses a non-Gryffindor player to become the school Team members, that would be really embarrassing."

"You really think so? I mean Harry's selection method is good!"

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

"That's the idea I came up with!"

Seeing Hermione raising her head as if she was coming to praise me, Mike also smiled slightly and offered his compliments without any hesitation.

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

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

I saw a complaining boy with thick blond hair rising up from the ground on a broomstick, hovering over the stands, constantly greeting the audience.

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

This is the type that is very popular among girls in school.

Mike made his judgment without hesitation.

This boy obviously knew this, so he was a little inflated.

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

"Ladies! Today I will become the new Keeper of Gryffindor. Can you give me your contact information after the game?"

This boy was indeed very popular among the girls. His actions and words received bursts of cheers from the girls in the stands. Some girls in the lower grades were so excited that they almost fainted.

Later, he even flew to Hermione to show off, but after seeing Mike sitting next to Hermione, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and then he left faster than when he came. The stands over here.

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

"Ha! Cormac McLaggen, he is a seventh-year Gryffindor and a member of Professor Slughorn's Slug Club."

Hermione sneered as she introduced Mike.

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

"Everyone who knows his true face dislikes him!" Hermione curled her lips in disgust, "He deceived the feelings of many girls by relying on his good looks and money. He is a famous playboy at Hogwarts. Young Master, scumbag!”

Mike's eyebrows raised, he really didn't know about this.

Hermione said again worriedly:

"But he plays Quidditch very well, and he is the goalkeeper in the selection this time. It will be difficult for Ron to have him."

Just as he was talking, the selection for the Quidditch goalkeeper of the Gryffindor school team finally began.

Harry frowned and loudly ordered Cormac to return to his seat. It could be seen that he did not have a good impression of this Cormac.

But the other party obviously didn't care. He made an emergency stop and landed in front of the three circular door frames. This move caused a burst of cheers from the girls in the stands.

Cormac shook his bangs proudly and raised his fingers at Harry and the others below.

Now the official players couldn't stand it any longer. They took off one after another and came to the opposite side of Cormic. The Quaffle was being bounced up and down in their hands.

Suddenly, the official team members moved.

They were flying through the air quickly, performing complex tactical moves, and the Quaffle was also being passed quickly 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 this did not faze Cormac. His eyes were fixed on the Quaffle, and his hands wearing thick gloves were raised, always vigilant.

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

But then Cormac moved in front of the door frame and accurately held the Quaffle in his arms.

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

Mike nodded slightly, this Cormac was quite capable.

After some fan interaction, the Quaffle returned to the batters' hands again. The goalkeeper's test was simple. These batters would shoot ten balls. The one who rejected the most shots would be the new Gryffindor. official goalie.

And Cormichael has already blocked a ball!

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 result in training was only five rejections. Just one shot.

With this in mind, Hermione quietly took out her wand.

The test on the field was still in full swing. In a short period of time, Cormac had blocked three Quaffles, but only one hit the goal.

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

But the next moment, boos broke out in the stands.

Ron looked up suddenly and saw Cormac floating in the air with a big mouth and a dull look on his face, while the batsmen opposite him cheered.

Ron was confused for a moment as to what was happening, but soon he understood why.

Because the next Quaffle is coming again.

It was as if Cormac was drunk, and he threw himself in the opposite direction of the ball in a daze!

"puff!"

The ball went in again!

Ron's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, he felt like he could do it again!
