Chapter 326: Temptation

"Big sister, are you kidding?!"

The flying lesson was over, but the young wizards gathered in front of the venue did not disperse.

Just now, Elena announced the formation of Hogwarts' first first-year Quidditch team, and Madame Hooch confirmed the reliability of this and offered to serve as a coach, supervising and mentoring them.

Ron Weasley's eyes widened and he looked at Elena in disbelief, his mouth wide open like a toad chirping in a field before a thunderstorm.

"A brand new Quidditch team?" Ron swallowed, his expression exaggerated, "and they're all made up of our first year - it's crazy, it's definitely the youngest team in the history of Hogwarts, and even in the history of Quidditch." ”

"To be precise, I remember that about a hundred years ago, there was a time when a first-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was directly selected for the house team. However, this is indeed the first time that I have tried this situation. ”

Madame Hodge nodded solemnly, looked around at the little wizards who were talking around her, and continued to add with a smile,

"Of course, you don't have to be too nervous. The main reason why the school has this idea is so that you can get a feel for the Quidditch atmosphere in advance, and at the same time, you can better appreciate the joy of flying. ”

Quidditch is to the wizarding world what football is to the non-wizarding world.

To be more precise, it can even be seen as a collection of almost all group ball games - after all, it is the first, and so far the only, broomstick sport that is loved by wizards almost all over the world.

You may not be interested in Quidditch, but you must not say you haven't heard of it, it's not just a sport, it's almost one of the easiest social conversations between wizards - as long as you don't happen to run into a wizard who supports the party on the opposite side of you, otherwise the conversation may not be so comfortable.

Ever since Filch posted the Quidditch team review time for the semester on the bulletin wall on Monday, the discussion about Quidditch has not stopped, with at least a third of the content on the dinner table every day discussing Quidditch.

In this frenetic and exciting atmosphere, even Harry Potter from the non-magical world is full of curiosity about this magical sport that flies in the sky, not to mention the first-year students who were born into wizarding families.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the fierce reaction of the little wizards when Lady Hooch and Elena announced the news.

"What, Weasley?

Draco Malfoy raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ron playfully, "If I'm not mistaken, didn't some people boast not long ago that they once dodged a Muggle glider on a broken broomstick?"

"Oh, shut up, Malfoy! Did I say the word fear?"

Ron frowned and replied with an unkind face.

"When I was playing Quidditch with my brothers in the backyard of my home, you young master was probably still crying and reciting some stinky and long family tree chart in your study, right? ”

As if they were born out of harmony, Ron and Draco were always able to get angry in a few words.

I have to say that as the two get to know each other, the collision in this life is obviously much more intense than before, and everyone can poke at each other's sore spots more accurately, and they also understand their own advantages better.

"Okay, don't make any noise. ”

Looking at the two little children who were glaring at each other like fighting cocks, Elena clapped her hands helplessly, drew the attention of the little wizards back to herself, and said unhurriedly.

"The official selection for the Hogwarts Year 1 Quidditch tryout team will begin this Friday afternoon, after the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw flight lessons. The first selection is mainly to assess the basic skills and talents in flying, and as for each person's position in the team after that, it will be arranged by Mrs. Hodge. ”

Time is limited, and Elena naturally doesn't have much time to wait for the little wizards to grow and run in slowly.

Moreover, one of the reasons why the first-year Quidditch team was formed was actually equivalent to a tiered teaching purpose - to screen out the little wizards who had already been exposed to broomsticks in advance, or who had outstanding flying talents, and trained and cultivated them individually.

In this way, on the one hand, Mrs. Hodge's workload in the course will be much lighter, and she will be able to set teaching goals more purposefully, as well as pay attention to those young wizards with a relatively weak foundation. On the other hand, the Quidditch teams of each house can also take advantage of this opportunity to better observe and develop their own newcomers.

What's more, in this way, each of their teams also has a target that they can usually practice for.

You know, before that, with the exception of the official matches of the Quidditch House Cup, the representative teams of each house could only play with imaginary enemies in the air every time they practiced their tactics.

Therefore, after Elena proposed to form a special Quidditch team composed entirely of Year 1, all the professors present agreed with each other, although they had different starting points and positions.

Albus Dumbledore even offered to help contact England's oldest Quidditch team, Pudermere United, to see if he could get a batch of training broomsticks that their reserve team had eliminated - maybe not the best broomsticks today, but in terms of stability and safety, they were definitely the best alternative to today's flying lessons.

Of course, not all discussions are smooth sailing.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout raised varying degrees of skepticism and opposition to the question of whether a Quidditch team of first-year students from four houses was eligible to compete for the Quidditch House Cup at Hogwarts, although from Dumbledore's point of view, he would have liked Elena to spend more time in Quidditch than to toss poor Hogwarts Castle and his increasingly emaciated heart.

After a period of discussion, everyone finally agreed on the result that-

Elena crossed her hands on her hips, looked around at the chattering little wizards, and whispered in a seductive tone.

"The professors promised that if our team could beat any of the House's official teams in a training match before the House Cup officially kicked off, they would qualify for the official competition for the current academic year. Think about it, in front of the whole school, your name will be sung over everyone, as if those international stars were on the stage......"

Mutter~

There is only one chapter today~ As for the reason -

Ahhh!!!h The most hateful thing is that she actually said in an interview that she deliberately wrote this "frustrating" setting because she was in a bad mood because she had a quarrel, because it would make her very comfortable?!?!?!
