The Quidditch season is approaching, and unfortunately, the team is not evenly staffed. Draco was going to feign illness, his father was filing a lawsuit, it was unlikely that Dumbledore was firing Hagrid, and it would be easy to execute a Hippogriff. Such litigants are easy to succeed.

"Flint wants you to think about it, there's a chaser vacancy right now, and if you want to be a seeker, Draco is willing to be a chaser. Melinda had been babbling in his ear since the afternoon.

"Why- they have the best broomsticks, and they don't have the confidence to win. Phoenix pinched the bridge of his nose and continued to hide his head behind the giant book.

"It's okay to follow, Draco wants to be fired from Hagrid due to a serious injury, which could last until next year. But Quidditch doesn't wait for anyone, and Professor Snape has postponed the game for us, replacing the first one with Hufflepuff. Melinda didn't appreciate it at all, snatched the book and closed it vigorously, and then sat on his lap as if she couldn't tell if she couldn't read it.

"You all think so? I don't think you've ever seen me ride a broomstick except in my first year, so you have so much confidence in me?" Phoenix walked over Melinda's shoulder and looked at Nott and Brace behind him.

"Definitely, no problem. Draco has focused on Potter every time he has played, and we've lost back-to-back to Gryffindor. It's a Slytherin honor. Noether said in the affirmative.

"In your first year, you were one of the few people who could get a broomstick jump in your hand at once, and you must have been a good talent - at least Draco was very good against other teams. "Brace's words are well founded.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to shut down my gambling completely. After a few hours of hard soaking, Phoenix reluctantly agreed.

A Quidditch team has seven players: three chasers, who are tasked with scoring by throwing the Quaffle (a red ball the size of a football) into a fifty-foot-high ring at each end of the field, two batsmen, who are equipped with heavy rackets to fend off Bludgers (two heavy black balls that buzz around and wait to attack players), a goalkeeper who guards the goal, and a Seeker, whose mission is the most difficult, is to find and catch the Golden Snitch, a winged, A ball the size of a walnut, catch it and the game is over, and the team that gets this ball can add an extra 150 points.

At first they trained twice a week, but then the weather got colder, more humid and the nights got darker, so they changed to once a week. Gryffindor takes this cup very seriously, rain or shine, training three times a week no matter what the weather.

Finally, until Halloween, they can go to Hogsmeade and have some fun.

Keeper Filch stood inside the door, holding a long list and checking one individual at a time, looking suspiciously at everyone's face, beware of anyone who shouldn't have slipped out.

"Stay, Potter?" shouted Malfoy, who stood in the line with Crabbe and Goyle. "Afraid of running into Dementors?"

Phoenix traveled to Hogsmeade with a large group of men.

Legend has it that Hogsmeade was built around the same time as Hogwarts, and the man who built it was called Hangis. He was a wizard who had settled here to escape Muggle persecution. Hogsmeade is the only village in England where all wizards are and there are no Muggles. It is a very unique and beautiful little village full of cottages and shops with roofs specifically covered with thatch.

Phoenix and Melinda went to the Wizard Costume Store of the Fengya brand, a large chain of wizard clothing stores with branches in London, Paris, Berlin, and Moscow. The sign at the door said 'Temporarily closed', and they didn't stop, pushing the door in.

"Welcome, young master. A middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time, put his pocket watch in his pocket, and saluted. There was no one else in the store, and it seemed empty. All around, there are a variety of robes, from fine dresses to greenhouse overalls.

"Didn't you just make this set?" Melinda looked him up and down.

"Obviously, I want the gown to be no longer Polisca-esque. It's the first time I've won an honorary title, so I should have some autonomy, right?"

"I'm sorry, but Madame has already chosen a few styles for you—well, it's better to obey her, don't you think?" said the middle-aged man, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"They're going to give you the Order of Merlin of the First Degree?" you keep it from me?" Melinda sat down and snapped up.

"It's still being discussed—but it's just a matter of formality. Don't say it, you know, it's going to make it impossible for people to get off the stage. ”

There are many types of dresses, such as wedding banquets, funerals, awards, banquets and other different occasions, and the family has made different ones for him. It's also a boring process, and Phoenix is Melinda with a match, but she's in high spirits and takes the trouble to evaluate each dress.

After finally getting out, they went to the Duke Bee candy store. Draco and they made a beeline for here, one until now.

It was packed with Hogwarts students, and the store had a shelf fork and a shelf, filled with some of the most intriguing sweets imaginable. Chunks of creamy peanut candy, shimmering pieces of pink coconut sorbet, hundreds of chocolates of all kinds, a large bucket of flavored beans, a bucket of butter bee candy, sherbet drinks floating in the air, and along another wall are a variety of candies with "special effects": Blowing Treasure Super Bubble Gum (which fills the room with blue bellflower-colored bubbles that won't burst for days), bizarre fragmented hairy mints, and tiny little black pepper urchins (" Spit fire out of your nose for your friend!") , Ice Mouse ("Hear your teeth chattering and creaking!") , creamy mints shaped like toads ("It's really going to beat in the stomach!") , crunchy sugar quill and exploding sandwich candy.

Phoenix bought a bag of chocolates of all kinds, Melinda bought almost all the candy she found interesting, and Goyle and Crabbe bought almost everything they could put in their mouths.

"Let's go, let's go to the Three Broomsticks Bar for a drink. "They went to the little inn just a moment after Hogsmeade. A Ministry of Magic employee was posting a notice at the door.

By order of the Ministry of Magic

Attention customers: Until further notice, Dementors will be patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade every day after sunset. This was purely for the safety of the residents of Hogsmeade, and was canceled when Sirius Black was recaptured. We hope that customers will be able to purchase before the evening.

Happy Halloween!

It was crowded, noisy, warm and smoky, and a woman with a graceful figure and a pleasing face tended to a gang of noisy wizards at the bar.

"Go and order a few butterbeers. Draco said to Crabbe and Goyle.

They walked to the back of the room, where there was a small table empty between the window and the beautiful Christmas tree, also near the fireplace. Drinking butterbeer and talking about the warmth of the fireplace is really pleasant, and it would be nice if it snowed a little.

Back at school, Phoenix changed his clothes and went to dinner. The auditorium was hung with hundreds of jack-o-lanterns, a swarm of winged bats, and many flaming orange streamers that floated lazily beneath the ceiling like brilliant water snakes.

The food was exquisite, and those of them who ate a lot of sweets and drank a lot of butterbeer were very happy. The dinner ended with a cultural program provided by the ghosts of Hogwarts. Ghosts emerge from walls and tables in a kind of procession, and Nick, who is almost headless in Gryffindor, succeeds in recreating his headhead.

Everyone returned to the common room with a good smile, intending to get a good night's sleep. Snape suddenly came and summoned everyone to the Great Hall, not knowing what had happened.
