Chapter 492: Selection (Sincere thanks to Alliance Leader Yu Ming's Feather)
Unlike Alan, who was so popular with the freshmen, and seeing the freshmen even Ron cowering behind Hermione, Harry was sure that he hadn't looked so immature when he first came here.
When Harry grinned at the freshmen, they looked stunned. A blonde-haired boy next to Ean Abercrombie poked Ean with his elbow and said something into his ear. Euann Abercrombie also looked terrified, and secretly looked at Harry with a frightened gaze, and Harry felt the smile on his face disappear like stinking juice.
Inexplicably, Harry pushed open the door to his dorm room, where Dean Thomas and Seamus Finigan had already arrived and were plastering posters and photos on the wall next to their bed. They were talking as Harry pushed the door open, but stopped when they saw him. Harry suspected first that they were talking about him, and then that he was a little suspicious.
???? It soon became clear to him that this was not his delusion, and that it had been going on for many days. Every time he was on his way to the classroom, he tried not to pay attention to the stares of the people, and their whispers and pointers. During the summer, the Daily Prophet constantly sent him and Dumbledore to the point where they were called madmen, and no one seemed willing to admit that the mysterious man had returned.
What made Harry even more sad was that even Gryffindor had a large number of people who didn't believe him, such as Seamus, who he had a good relationship with and lived in the same dormitory, and had an argument with him about the truth of the report, and he had been arguing about changing dorms since Ron stepped up to help him and the argument involved Seamus's mother. However, one thing that made Harry happy was that although Umbridge, the observer sent by the Ministry of Magic, followed him every day with a notebook and kept recording, he did not take any special action after all, and it basically did not affect the professors' normal classes.
Hermione saw all this in her eyes, and she was conflicted in her heart, she had learned the truth from Alan, and she promised Eren that she would keep it a secret or else ruin his layout. But seeing Harry and Dumbledore being misunderstood, and seeing her friends being isolated and clouded day by day, Hermione couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
It seems that all the warmth has been used up in that hot August of the summer vacation, and the weather in September is exceptionally cold, the sky is always gray and raining constantly. But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm for Quidditch, and Gryffindor's new captain, Angelina, was impatient to wait for the weather to clear up and decided to make a selection of goalkeepers on Friday.
And Ravenclaw's behavior is even more worrying, unlike other houses, they have not been to the field to train and hold selections at all, but at breakfast they found that Ravenclaw's new captain Alan seems to have a lot more letters than usual, someone secretly pretended to pass by and glanced at the envelope, and found that the name of the sender on it was Geraldine - Allen was communicating with the coach who won the Quidditch World Cup with LinkedIn Gran at last year's World Cup!
What's even more shocking is the news from Ravenclaw that Allen, as the captain, is not going to play directly in Quidditch this semester, but will help the team develop training plans and tactical arrangements as a coach!
I have to say that the Gryffindors on Friday felt lucky, they didn't have to face the best Seeker in the world this year, and the sun was shining today even though it was pouring rain the day before.
But Harry, their good mood lasted until they left the dressing room and went outside on the sunny pitch.
No sooner had they appeared than they heard a burst of screams and laughter from the anti-Harry league of members of the Slytherin Quidditch team and a few young wizards who had listened to the Daily Prophet, who had gathered in the middle of the empty stands, constantly making taunts.
This selection was a nightmare, except for those piercing ridicule, during the selection, Ron was so excited when he teleported the Quaffle, he actually hit Katie's face directly, and what was even more unfortunate was that Katie's nosebleed couldn't be stopped. This made the Slytherins on the field stomp and laugh at each other.
They even wrote a tune called "Weasley is our king" to mock Ron Weasley's ability to save the ball in the Gryffindor team's goalkeeper trials, and whenever the Slytherin students sang this song, the mentally poor Ron would be hit by the taunt and humiliation to lose confidence, lose the ball, and make the opponent score.
However, in the end, with the help of the team's Seeker Harry, Ron still got his wish to serve as the goalkeeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. As the Gryffindors were heading back to the locker room, Ravenclaw was mentioned.
"Actually, we don't have to worry about Slytherin at all, we're more worried about Ravenclaw. Although this is the first time I've heard that a Quidditch of Hogwarts level would require a coaching position...... The news came the other day that Alan had decided not to play anymore, so theoretically, they didn't have the best Seeker in the world, and with Gryffindor Harry Potter, we had a good chance of winning. However, Ravenclaw has heard that the court has been booked for next Wednesday, and it looks like the selection and training are finally going to begin, so we may be able to check the situation. I mean, it's Allen after all, wouldn't he have any other arrangements?" George watched as Fred pulled out a purple fast-acting runny blood sugar from his pocket, and then was stunned for a second, then suddenly turned back to look at Katie, who was still bleeding, obviously frightened.
George suddenly looked nervous and stopped the conversation. He remembered that yesterday he and Fred wanted to test the effect of fast-acting rhinosal blood sugar with Katie, and tricked her into taking one, but they didn't find any effect at the time, and they were still studying to improve it, but they didn't expect that the effect would be postponed until this time today.
Angelina felt that George was right, and in order to understand the situation, she asked for the selection and training of Ravenclaw next Wednesday, and the entire Gryffindor team should be present to watch.
Interestingly, after the Gryffindor tryouts, the weather was rainy again, and it wasn't until Ravenclaw auditions that it was another sunny and pleasant day.
Most of the Hogwarts students made it to the Quidditch arena to enjoy what might be the last bit of sunshine of the year.
Sure enough, as rumored, Alan Harris did not change into a jersey, but flew next to the team to arrange team training and the selection of new players.
What caught the eye of these little wizards the most was not the Ravenclaw Quidditch players flying in the sky, but the machines erected from all angles in the stands.
"The camera, this is the special camera for the wizard's TV set, and it's all about this thing that can be played on the TV, and it's my dad who made it. George excitedly watched as the camera's boom stretched out to catch the team members flying into the distance.
"Look, isn't that Colin Creevey from our academy?" George nudged Fred in confusion.
"Why is he behind the Ravenclaw camera?" Fred was also surprised.
"I heard Hermione say the other day that it seems that Alan couldn't find so many young wizards with camera talent in school, so she asked her to help invite Colin. Harry explained as he overheard George and Fred's conversation.
Hermione and Luna were also sitting on the edge of the stands at this time, watching Alan direct the team to train. In fact, Hermione, who had taken attribute potions, now has greatly improved her flying ability, but because she was in the first year, she did not excel in flying class like other subjects and developed an aversion to this class, although it cannot be said that she hates Quidditch because of this, but it is enough to make her not want to go down to the competition in person.
But something a little strange about her, she tilted her head, looked at Luna and asked, "Luna, you don't usually like to watch Quidditch, why don't you participate in the selection of Ravenclaw Quidditch players?"
"I like to watch Quidditch, but I don't like brooms. Luna's chanting voice replied.
