Chapter 156: Hufflepuff
However, after the final training session near the game, Darren, who was reciting Serbian dictionaries in the Gryffindor common room, saw the Gryffindor players crawling in through the hole, but not as exhausted as usual, and their expressions were different. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's that tall, good-looking boy, right?" Angelina, the chaser, said.
"The one who is strong and doesn't talk much. Katie, another chaser, said as she and Angelina started giggling.
"Don't worry, Oliver, the Hufflepuffs are easy opponents to beat, the last time we played them, Harry caught the Golden Snitch in five minutes, remember?" Fred said to Wood, who had a solemn face.
"Diggory has a strong team!He's a great Seeker!I'm worried you're going to think that!We must not underestimate the enemy!We must take the main problem! Slytherin wants to see us make a mistake! We must win!"
"What's going on?" asked Harry, who was slumped into the couch next to him, looking up from the dictionary.
"Our opponents have changed, not Slytherin, it's Hufflepuffs. ”
"Why?"
Slytherin captain Flint told Oliver that their players were not feeling well and would not be able to play anytime soon, and Snape signed them. ”
"Oh. Darren bowed his head again and continued the battle with the Serbian dictionary.
"Oh, that's what you say?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it just a change of object, anyway, you have to compete sooner or later, what does it matter. ”
"They did it for the obvious reason that they didn't want to play in this kind of weather and think it would destroy their advantage. ”
Indeed, bad weather can greatly limit the performance of the broomstick, and even if it flies fast, it is useless for the person sitting on it to see clearly and sit still, especially for Seekers.
"We've been working with Slytherin, now with Hufflepuff, they have a completely different style, and Oliver says that Hufflepuff has a new captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory, who is the one they're talking about. Harry tilted his head at Angelina and Katie.
Hearing the name "Cedric Diggory", Darren diverted his attention a little, after all, this guy is also quite famous and unlucky, he dares to steal the limelight with the protagonist Harry Potter, I don't know how high the mortality rate is for doing this! And he has a girlfriend who is beautiful enough to make Harry's heart flutter......
"On the bright side, though, at least their broomsticks aren't Halo 2001," Darren said to Harry, "and you'll have a lot easier than you can do with Slytherin." ”
"Okay, but it seems like Oliver doesn't think so. ”
Wood didn't think so, and the day before the game, Darren saw him coming to Harry at recess to give him some tips on how to deal with Hufflepuff Seeker Cedric.
After reminding Harry not to be late, Darren walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and found that it wasn't Lupin, but Snape standing on the podium! But that's not the worst, because by the time Darren saw Harry again, Snape had been in class for ten minutes......
After being deducted fifteen points by Snape for Gryffindor, Harry finally sat down, the first ten points for being late, the last five for not listening to Snape, and Hermione also deducted five points for Gryffindor because she couldn't control her desire to speak, although Snape was indeed a bit excessive, but when will these bear children understand what the word rules mean?
Not surprisingly, Snape explained in detail what the textbook was about werewolves, especially how to identify and kill them.
After class, Snape left two pieces of parchment homework on "How to identify and kill werewolves", this guy had more than a dozen people in the class, two for each person, fortunately Darren's parchment for homework was provided by the school, otherwise this paper alone would cost a lot of money, and there were not many parts of a sheep that could be used to make parchment, and it was very troublesome to make.
First of all, the sheepskin is treated like ordinary leather, the hair is removed and the fat is removed, and then the sheepskin is stretched vigorously with a special wooden frame, which is dried and fixed by physical stretching, and the thin skin on the surface of the skin and the lower skin connected to the meat are also peeled off as necessary, which is quite laborious.
Of course, there is also parchment made by modern means, known as "industrial parchment", but it is not known if Hogwarts will use Muggle technology......
However, no one cared about the parchment at the moment, and everyone was focused on the upcoming Quidditch match, even though the castle was full of raging storms.
Inside the dormitory, Darren could still hear the sound of thunder, wind, and trees breaking in the Forbidden Forest in the distance, and he knew how to play a Quidditch match in such weather, as long as the player's broomstick was at the slightest angle to the wind, it would be swept away by the wind.
It now seems that Slytherin shouldn't have changed the schedule, their Halo 2001 was better suited to this kind of extreme weather, and in this kind of weather, the tactics that Gryffindor had used against Slytherin were completely unplayable, and in this kind of weather, maintaining a dense formation was almost an impossible task.
Not to mention, the winds can tear their formations apart if a Bludger shifts their direction in the slightest bit......
Darren was woken up, he heard Harry talking, his voice was full of irritation, he opened his eyes, "What's wrong?" and saw Peeves floating around Harry, blowing hard into his ears.
If it had been a month earlier, I'm afraid Darren really couldn't do anything about Peeves, but now, he raised his wand, "Vadi Vasi!"
Peeves spun out of the room like a deflated balloon, making an "ahhhh
"Thank you," Harry said in the dark.
"It's nothing, you should rest a little longer, I'm afraid the weather won't be too easy, why don't they change the date of the game?"
"I can't sleep," Harry shook his head, "Quidditch matches don't cancel for something as trivial as a thunderstorm. ”
"I think you have to be careful, because all the umbrellas in the audience are going to be blown away and fly into the arena, and you don't get hit by them. ”
Harry laughed, "I'll take notice." ”
They all got out of bed, got dressed, and went to the Gryffindor common room, where Harry was holding his light wheel 2000, and Darren lit a lamp and continued to fight with his Serbian dictionary, which I might not have had time to read during the day today, and the dictionary would be wet with the rain.
