Chapter 39: Joining the Team
But what is the saying? After joy comes sorrow!
Just as the Gryffindor crowd cheered, a terrifying voice came!
"Harry Potter, Bruce Sterling!"
The crowd turned to look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sure enough, Professor McGonagall appeared on the edge of the meadow! They couldn't be happier!
"You two come with me!" Professor McGonagall said with a blank face.
The two of them had to leave after Professor McGonagall! And the Slytherin people at this time can be described in another word, no pole!
Everyone laughed at the sight of Professor McGonagall, and now Gryffindor had stolen the show with Bruce and Harry, and now it was just what everyone in Slytherin wanted to see.
Malfoy looked at Bruce's figure with some complexity, he should be happy to see Bruce Harry's two rivals arrested, but if it wasn't for Bruce just now, he would probably have to see Merlin!
Bruce and Harry followed Professor McGonagall, Harry was apprehensive, but Bruce was confused. He knew that Professor McGonagall was not punishing them, but recommending them to Gryffindor's Quidditch team.
It makes sense to recommend Harry, after all, his flying skills are very good, but why call him!
The school rules at Hogwarts are very strict, don't look at Dumbledore's kind eyes, but once someone really breaks the school rules, Bruce believes that he will definitely follow the rules!
At first, Harry thought Professor McGonagall was telling him and Bruce to go to the office, and then criticized him harshly, but after a while he realized that Professor McGonagall was not going to the office at all!
"Bruce!" Harry stared at Professor McGonagall and asked softly, "Where is Professor McGonagall taking us?" ”
Bruce said, "Looks like it's going to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom!" ”
"Ahh Harry said in surprise; "What are you doing there?"
Bruce said helplessly; "Hell knows!"
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall came to a halt outside the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and said to the two, "You guys are waiting here!" ”
Then he pushed the door open, and Professor Quirrell was lecturing in a staccato and cowardly voice, stopping when he saw Professor McGonagall!
"Professor Quirrell! I'm sorry! Can you get Wood out for a while! Professor McGonagall asked.
Professor Quirrell nodded with a trembling smile and said, "When...... Of course! ”
Then I saw a brown-haired boy walk out!
"Hello! Professor McGonagall! What's the matter? Wood asked curiously.
Professor McGonagall said, "I'll introduce you first! Wood, here's Harry, here's Bruce! This is the captain of the Gryffindor team, Wood! ”
"Hello!" Bruce said hello to Harry.
Professor McGonagall then smiled and asked Wood, "Wood!" I think I found the Seeker for you! ”
"Ahh Harry and Wood were stunned, Bruce knew this and it was normal for him to monetize, and he wanted to know what Professor McGonagall was doing with him!
Wood smiled in surprise and said, "Professor McGonagall...... You...... Is this a joke? Sterling and Potter are first-year! And we only need one Seeker."
"I know!" Professor McGonagall said, "But Potter is a great flyer!" And Bruce, I think he should be a good chaser! ”
"Ahh Wood was even more surprised, just introduce a first-year student to become a Quidditch player, and there was one more.
Wood looked embarrassed and said, "Professor! I trust your vision! But I don't think the two first-year students will be able to join the Quidditch team, and they probably haven't touched a broomstick before. Professor, you know this is my last appearance as a Gryffindor, and I'd love to win this year's championship for the Academy! ”
(ps: There is no statement in the original book that he left the team at the age of 6, this is in the next setting, please rest assured that it will not affect the plot of the later sequence!) )
Professor McGonagall laughed, "Of course! I'd also like to see today's winner belong to Gryffindor! That's why I recommend them both to you! Did you know......"
Professor McGonagall wanted Wood to introduce the scene from the flying lesson, and Wood was completely confused. These two little guys should not be so fierce, two students who grew up in the Muggle world actually made such a move in their first flying lesson.
One swooped fifty feet and reached out to grab a rapidly flying memory orb, and the other grabbed a man flying at a low altitude at a rapid altitude unscathed, something that even Charlie Weasley, who had once the best flying skills in Gryffindor, could not. Wood was puzzled, why were there so many new students in this class?
Wood would not believe it if it was said from someone else's mouth, but it was a different matter for Professor McGonagall to say it, because the whole school knew that Professor McGonagall never spoke empty words or exaggerated words.
"Okay!" After listening to Professor McGonagall, Wood said, "Professor McGonagall, I accept your suggestion that I can let them train with the team before the official game, but if they don't meet my goal, I'm sorry!" I still won't admit them! ”
Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Of course! I'm glad and relieved that you've done that! I'm sure you'll get the championship trophy to Gryffindor this year! ”
Wood smiled, "Thank you for your blessings, Professor McGonagall!" ”
"You go back to class!" Professor McGonagall said.
Wood returned to the classroom, and Professor McGonagall turned to look at the two of them, and said solemnly, "I should have criticized you harshly and deducted your credits today. But for the sake of helping your classmates, you don't blame the past! I hope you two will train hard, or I'll change my mind and punish you!" ”
"Thank you, Professor McGonagall! We won't let you down! The two hurriedly assured.
Professor McGonagall's face softened a little and said, "Yes! Let's go back to class! ”
When the two returned to the "open-air classroom", Hermione Ron naturally asked the two for details! And then...... The Gryffindor people are going crazy!
Originally, they all thought that Bruce Harry was called dead by Professor McGonagall to be punished, but they didn't expect that the punishment was not the Quidditch team that allowed them to join it. Keep in mind that the 11-year-old House players in Hogwarts history date back 100 years. But now, they heard about the "exception" 100 years later, and it was two people at a time, although one of them was only a reserve player, but it was enough for the Gryffindor students to be excited enough.
If they weren't still in class at this time, I guess they would have cheered excitedly.
Just as the flight lesson was in progress, Hermione suddenly came to Bruce's side and looked at him sternly, even circling around him as if the police were interrogating a prisoner.
"Huh! Hermione, don't you look at me like that? Bruce said a little unaccustomedly: "Although I know I'm handsome, but ......"
"Shut up!" Hermione said with a look of disgust, "You're narcissistic, Mr. Sterling! I'm wondering what it's going to get Professor McGonagall to agree to your Quidditch team! ”
"Hey!" Bruce shook his hair and said smugly: "No way, I'm too good!" ”
"Cut!" Hermione said disdainfully, "What's the big deal?" Tomorrow...... No, I'm going to Professor McGonagall today! ”
Bruce asked curiously, "What are you looking for her?" ”
"Apply to join the Quidditch team!" Hermione replied.
"Ahh Wait, wait! Bruce hurriedly said, "I said Hermione, not really!" Quidditch is dangerous, you think I do! It was Professor McGonagall threatening me that if I didn't join her, I would lose my credits! ”
Hermione looked incredulous and said, "It's ridiculous that Professor McGonagall threatens you!" ”
Bruce said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask!" I'm telling you, sometimes what is written in books isn't always completely reliable! You know? I've heard George and Fred say that they were once hit straight to the ground by a Quaffle on the pitch, and even had a female player disfigured by it, oops! That scene...... Tsk, I can't imagine it! ”
"Disfigured!" Hermione hurriedly covered her smooth face and said in shock, "This ...... Is this true? ”
"Really?" Bruce looked around, pointed to the pitch in the distance and said, "Look, look at how high the goal is, if you fall from it, it's disfigured!" Do you still want to join? ”
Under Bruce's threatening and scaring language, Hermione immediately gave up on this "stupid" idea.
"In that case, wouldn't you and Harry be dangerous!" Hermione asked.
Sensing Hermione's concern (possibly concern), Bruce consciously ignored "Harry" and said, "It's okay! I can only be considered a quasi-player, Professor McGonagall wants me to be a chaser, but now Angelina and Arya are playing very consistently, but they are already in the fifth grade and will be quitting the team next year, I think I will not play until next school year! ”
"What about Harry?" Hermione asked.
Bruce waved his hand and said, "Ah! You've seen Harry's technique, this guy is a monster! No problem! ”
"No way!" Hermione said with some trepidation, "I should read some books about Quidditch so that I can help you!" ”
As he spoke, he ignored Bruce and began to think that he should read the books.
Looking at Hermione's appearance, Bruce smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect Hermione's desire to win to be so strong!" ”
The next time Bruce naturally enjoyed the fun of flying, although he also flew just now, but he spent it completely in fright, and there was no sense of enjoyment. So this time he flew smoothly in the air for a while under the guidance of Mrs. Hodge.
The feeling of flying is beautiful, but what is more important for Bruce is that he must now master the method of controlling the broomstick as soon as possible, and it is a good thing to be able to join the Quidditch team, but Bruce understands that the technique just now is completely "crazy", and his own skill is still very bad, so even if he can't join the team until next year, Bruce has to start preparing now.
It's just Harry, and Bruce has completely ignored this guy. I have to admit that genes are really against the sky sometimes, Harry doesn't look like a new hand at all now, and he can even make all kinds of movements in the air, which is completely self-taught, and Madame Hodge also praised him a lot.
