Chapter 044: Seeker

Catherine ran away without hesitation, but when she arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, she found that the other first years had arrived, and the only vacant seat was surrounded by Slytherin students, and before Catherine could sit down, they began to "besiege", and when they found out that she was a Seeker, they collectively exclaimed.

Thanks to Professor Quirrell, who was in attendance, he shrunk his neck and continued to lecture when he saw that it was all Slytherins who were exclaiming. If it were any other professor, Slytherin would have been given 10 points, and if it was Snape, it would have become a mass confinement, which would have been much worse.

Not knowing how much exercise she had to do for her first training, Catherine went to the kitchen after class to get a lot of refreshments and took the Light Wheel 2000 to the Quidditch pitch.

It is a broom with beautiful lines and shiny mahogany, with a long tail tied with neat, straight branches, and the words "Halo 2000" are printed on the top of the broomstick.

"It's beautiful!" Catherine praised it, sat down, kicked her feet, and the light wheel 2000 flew into the sky with her.

"Good response!" Catherine tested the performance of the broom a little, and although she didn't remember much of the first flying lesson, the sensations of her body made her understand that the Light Wheel 2000 was really not comparable to those old brooms.

After figuring out the general situation of Halo 2000, Catherine let the broom levitate in mid-air, took out a snack, and enjoyed the beauty of Hogwarts at dusk from the air while eating.

The setting sun was like a ball of fire, igniting the whole of Hogwarts, the huge lake was burned into a sea of fire, and every leaf in the forest was like a small fire, fluttering around in the wind, falling to the grass, turning into a little spark, and the Quidditch stadium shrouded in shadows seemed to be the only safe place in this "fire", but there seemed to be some monster hidden in the darkness.

"Catherine!" A voice came from the ground, interrupting the girl's thoughts.

"Harry," Catherine said in surprise as she pressed her low broom and headed for the dark-haired boy on the ground, "you shouldn't be training at seven o'clock tonight?" ”

"Hmm!" Harry nodded, looking at Catherine floating in front of him, "How come you also have a light wheel 2000?" ”

"Didn't anyone talk about it at dinner?" Slytherin 1st year, who knew why, had been in an atmosphere of excitement almost all day, and Catherine didn't believe they wouldn't show off at dinner.

"I didn't pay attention!" Harry shook his head as he thought about his new broom as he ate dinner.

"Now I'm afraid you're the only one in the whole school who doesn't know," Catherine said with a smile on her broomstick, "I'm the new Slytherin Seeker." ”

"Then we will not become enemies!" Harry exclaimed.

"What, you're scared?" Catherine deliberately looked down at Harry with her head held high.

"I'm not afraid of you!" Harry immediately puffed up his chest in a huff.

"By the way, what's wrong with Ron?" Catherine asked suddenly, after all, the blow to him in that wizard chess duel was a bit more than the girl expected, and it is said that he has been in a trance since last Friday.

"He's finally starting to get better today," Harry said, with a relaxed look, "he's a big fan of Quidditch, Halo 2000 distracts him, and he's finally cheered up after I told him he could lend him a game when he didn't have training tasks." ”

"That's it!" Catherine frowned slightly, but Harry didn't notice that he couldn't wait to get on his Light Wheel 2000 and start the test flight.

Harry quickly adapted to the performance of the Halo 2000, and then, without knowing who would take the lead first, the two men suddenly chased each other. It's just that the two people seem to be connected by a rope, no matter how one flies, the other can stick to each other's side tightly, and they can't get rid of it.

It wasn't until someone on the ground called their names that Catherine and Harry stopped the chase and looked to the ground, where the two House Quidditch captains were standing on either side of a large wooden crate, glaring at each other, and the two hurriedly landed in front of their respective captains.

"I'll give you the rules first." The two captains spoke at the same time, glared at each other as they spoke, and kicked at the wooden crate at the same time, which was opened, and Catherine and Harry saw four balls in it.

Flint made the first move and grabbed the bright red ball in the middle: "It's a ghost flyer, it's the main scorer, and every goal scored is worth 10 points." There were three chasers on each team, and I was one of them. ”

"Each team has a goalkeeper guarding those three rounds, and I'm the Gryffindor goalkeeper to stop them chasers." Wood alluded to Flint, and the two began glaring at each other again.

"What are those two?" Catherine and Harry asked at the same time, pointing to two black balls that were slightly smaller than the Quaffle.

"Bludger!" The two captains replied at the same time, which made them glare at each other at the same time, and then the two explained at the same time again.

"You don't have to worry about them, the Weasley twins will chase them away - they're batsmen."

"The two batsmen on each team are responsible for hitting them on opposing players – to stop their movements."

This tacit understanding obviously made them very angry, so as soon as the two of them finished speaking, they began to glare at each other angrily.

Worried that the two of them would really quarrel, Catherine and Harry hurriedly asked at the same time, "What about my mission?" ”

Both captains went for the last ball at the same time, and this time Wood took the lead. He held it to Harry, and Catherine saw a small ball of golden walnut with a pair of small flapping silver wings.

"This is the Golden Snitch, and your mission is to catch it."

"As soon as it was caught, the game was over. Remember, it's worth 150 points. ”

Catherine and Harry immediately stared at it, and the little thing actually had 150 points.

Suddenly, Wood's hand loosened, and the Golden Snitch flew away from his hand, and in a flash it seemed to disappear. Catherine and Harry immediately reached out, but the girl caught it first, as she was faster.

After that, the two captains each took out a bag of golf balls, and they each took half of the course and began to practice. Wood and Flint threw the golf balls in all directions, while Harry and Catherine had to catch them before they hit the ground. As a result of the training, both caught the thrown ball.

However, Flint was happier than Wood, as Catherine had caught the Golden Snitch once before.

When Ron learns that Catherine is the new Slytherin Seeker, he advises Harry not to be with Catherine anymore, lest she find out the secrets of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Hermione had a big fight with him over this, and she decided not to talk to the two of them anymore.

"I'm! This stupid, unreasonable Ron Weasley! After the second flight lesson, Hermione angrily complained to Catherine about Ron's behavior, "I now understand that you did it so right last Friday, this guy really needs to be a slap in the face!" ”

"Don't be angry, I don't feel the need to be angry, so why should you be angry!" Catherine smiled comfortingly as she carefully placed a box on the table.

"But......" Hermione had just said a word when Catherine interrupted her.

"Don't mention him again, after all—" Catherine opened the box, revealing a cake, "it's your birthday!" ”

"Oh my God!" Hermione looked at the cake in surprise, "I didn't think I would see it for my birthday this year." ”

"I made it with my own hands! I don't know if it's to your taste! Catherine said as she put the candle in it.

"Wait a minute, Catherine, this is the library!" Hermione held her hand and looked nervously out the door.

"Don't worry, I've already told Mrs. Irma Pins, otherwise how do you think I got the key to this little room?" Catherine said, pointing to the closed door.

"Thank you so much, Catherine!" Hermione blushed and said, "How did you know about my birthday today?" ”

"I did the investigation."

"Are you kidding?"

"Of course not."

The melody of the birthday song resounded in this small single room, and the friendship between the two girls quickly warmed up.

After Hermione's birthday, Catherine's day began to become regular, every day after class, she and Hermione went to the library to read her writing homework, and then went to Snape's office to work on potions materials, except for three times a week Quidditch training, her life basically changed, but Hogwarts always brought people a lot of surprises.

Hogwarts is a fascinating castle, and every staircase, door, and room in the castle has its own characteristics, and nothing is the same, let alone the secret passages and secret rooms hidden in every corner.

And since she bumped into three of Hogwarts' toughest creatures one after another on that night of the night tour, Catherine couldn't help but pay special attention to them, and in this way, she found that they didn't seem to match the rumors.

Rumor has it that Peeves will cause you trouble when they see you, make you angry, and take pleasure in playing tricks on you, forcing you to flee immediately. But as soon as Catherine met him now, it was Peeves who was the first to flee, of course, before he left, he would indeed embarrass Catherine, but as long as he saw that he was falling, he would leave immediately, and never stay.

Rumor has it that as soon as Lady Loris sees you foul, she will quickly run to report it to its owner. But when Catherine met it now, she would often approach her, and when she tried to feed it some food, she found that the cat was just as fond of sweets as the Headmaster, especially the candy made by Draco's mother, so Catherine did not refuse what Master Malfoy had "offered".

Rumor has it that Filch, the administrator, doesn't have a good face for any of the students, always thinks they're fouling, and wants to punish each one severely. However, as soon as Catherine met him, she found that she was not being harassed like the other students, and even when there was no one else, Filch would rarely show a good face. At first, Catherine thinks he just thinks she is "in the same boat" as him, but after she helps Filch clean up the stagnant water in the third-floor hallway from the myrtle, he still doesn't change his attitude, which makes Catherine even more strange and helps him more often.
