Chapter 325: Elena's team
"A little...... Tiny ...... Suggestion?!"
Dumbledore subconsciously frowned and repeated, he felt as if his head was starting to hurt again.
If memory serves, he'd probably heard several similar "Elena's little advice", and in Dumbledore's impression, none of them turned out to be worry-free.
"That's right, it's just a small addition to the gaps in the current situation. β
The corners of Elena's mouth turned up, and she nodded to the professors, and said in a brisk tone.
Professor Sprout glanced at Elena, then at Dumbledore, who was about to speak, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Well, what a suggestion, let's hear it. β
"Starting this year, a Year 1 Quidditch team will be formed. Regardless of the college, regardless of seniority, the selection is carried out purely by love and ability, and a future talent selection reserve of each college is constructed. β
Elena cleared her throat and counted the advantages of this suggestion with a serious finger.
"First of all, it would not break the rule that Year 1 could not participate in the House Quidditch team, but it would allow talented and energetic students to get more involved in the game of Quidditch and not leave Year 1 students outside of the Quidditch field. β
"Secondly, the Quidditch team, which has plenty of time for first-year students, can be used as training matches for each house, and on the other hand, it can better learn knowledge and experience from the senior seniors. When you move on to the second year, the selection will be easier and more accurate. β
"As for the last point......
Elena glanced at the professors who were lost in thought, especially Dumbledore, who was still a little resistant, and pursed her lips:
"It is true that there is a rival competition between the four colleges, and it is indeed a beneficial competition. But I hope that if we could, there would be a chance that we would be able to break down the house divide and let everyone play Quidditch together purely for fun, whether it was Slytherin or Gryffindor - it would be quite a fond memory when we graduated. β
"Breaking down the ...... of college barriers"
Dumbledore repeated in a low voice, his gaze moving to the backs of the group, and the little wizards huddled together and trying to look over their shoulders nodded slightly, "Well, there is some truth to what you say. β
The biggest difference between this year's freshmen and previous ones is that there is almost no obvious college gap between them.
And the most intuitive difference is that, compared to the distinct color plates in the classes of the rest of the grades, the classroom of this year's first-year wizards is like a big dye vat, mixed together in a disorderly manner.
"But...... Assembling a Quidditch team can be quite a time-consuming and laborious task. β
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and glanced at Elena with a smirk, "A Quidditch team needs at least seven people, one Seeker, one Goalkeeper, two batsmen, and three Chasers - it's a team sport, and you can't rely on the individual talent of any one person to win. Of course, I think you might need a coach?"
"I can help with that. To me, this sounds like a pretty interesting attempt. β
Mrs. Hodge crossed her arms and joined in the conversation with great interest, spreading her hands slightly self-deprecatingly.
"If Miss Kaslana can really get the team together, I'd be happy to give you some basic training and guidance - to be honest, I feel like I'm too idle. β
'In terms of the players, I don't think there should be any problems. β
Elena looked back at the first-year wizards behind her, thought for a moment, and said.
"As far as I know, there are not many of us in our first year who are good at flying, and if we go through a period of training, we might be able to compete with the official house team. β
"It's good to have faith, but it's a bit arrogant to beat the senior Quidditch team. β
Professor McGonagall shook her head amusedly, "But it sounds like it's a good way to do it, at least I don't have to deal with all the complaints about why first-year students can't play Quidditch." β
"Year 1 Quidditch team, so can we watch a few more games this year?" β
Seeing that Professor McGonagall took the initiative to back down, Professor Sprout, who had once again successfully defended his cabbage, also breathed a sigh of relief, chuckled, and joined the discussion.
"The only thing that worries me a little bit is whether it will take a toll on the confidence of these kids if it's too far from the official house team β maybe we'll need to give a little more advice during our regular training matches. β
"Huh, can we also play in the official House Cup?!"
Elena blinked, nimbly grasping the message from Professor Sprout's words, and added, somewhat uncertainly, "I mean, wouldn't it be embarrassing if we got first." β
A team of first-year freshmen won the Quidditch House Cup?!
Hearing Elena's question, the professors looked at each other, raised their eyebrows in unison, and a funny look appeared on their facesβI didn't see that this Elena Kaslana had a really big heart.
"If you can find all seven members by the end of the week, and get Mrs. Hodge certified that you can actually ride a broomstick to compete, it wouldn't be impossible. β
Dumbledore glanced at Lady Hooch and then at Elena, who was eager to try, and shook his head in disbelief.
"Of course, if you can beat the senior Quidditch teams of the other four houses and win the school year. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving you the trophy. I can even write to the British Quidditch national team and ask you to go to a tryout during the holidays. β
It was rare to find a safe thing that could attract Elena's attention, and in order to live a healthy life until retirement, Dumbledore naturally tried to guide her in this direction by all means.
After all, it's better to let Elena fly in the sky more than to let Elena wander around in Hogwarts Castle with nothing to do.
Could it be that she can blow up the Quidditch pitch?
"That's what you said. β
Elena's eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt up proudly, and she turned to look at the little wizards behind her.
Dumbledore still had no idea how strong the first-year cast of the main characters of the original book was this year.
Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Gower......
With the addition of her, there are already six candidates.
As for the last team member......
If she remembered correctly, the young wizard who took over as captain of Hufflepuff after Cedric's death was probably a child in the same grade as her.
