Chapter 353: Quidditch Selection (Part II) (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of "Fish Fish Stupid Cat Fat")
"Mrs. Hodge, maybe we should start training soon. β
Elena continued, gesturing to the increasingly hot and dreary sky.
"After all, it seems that there will be a heavy rainstorm soon, and if we don't complete the team position determination today, the training progress will inevitably be affected, which is not good news......
"Indeed, we have to hurry. β
Madame Hooch furrowed her brows, and looked up at the thick clouds that were gradually gathering in the sky, after so many years at Hogwarts, she naturally knew what it meant, and the witch stopped explaining the new broom, and quickly regained her previous decisiveness.
"As for the two thousand light wheels, if you are interested, you can take the time to visit my office, and if the weather and time permit, with Professor Dumbledore's permission, I may be able to lend you a flight, but not now. β
Ignoring the excited whispering seniors around her, Madame Hooch turned her gaze back to the young first-year wizards standing in the middle of the Quidditch pitch.
"Now, you all know the rules and you know where the seven guys in the team are. So tell me, what is the position where each of you wants to play, and then Miss Kaslana and I will adjust and determine the ...... according to the actual situation."
"Wait, Mrs. Hooch! Why is Elena the captain?"
Just then, an untimely voice popped up.
Everyone turned their heads, only to see Zacharis Smith, who had been silently huddled at the end of the line by himself, suddenly stood up at some point, holding his broomstick in one hand, and questioned in an aggressive tone.
"You're you again?"
Draco Malfoy furrowed his brow quickly, and glanced at Zachares with an unkind expression.
"If it weren't for Elena's eldest sister, would it be possible that you still want to be the captain?!"
At the same time, Goyle and Crabbe, who were in their own senses, also leaned over, and the two of them walked towards Zacharith Smith left and right, as if they would dare to raise their fists and teach the first-year Hufflepuff thorn in front of them three times and twice provocative as soon as they gave the order.
"Of course, why not. β
Facing the gaze of a group of people, Zachares Smith, who was difficult to ride a tiger, turned red with nervousness and excitement, and waved his arms and said loudly.
"What if she's a little better flyer, have you ever seen her play Quidditch? I know, what kind of Moonlight Seven are you guys, of course you're standing with her, and you're going to talk to herβ"
Zachares Smith wasn't stupid, and he knew very well that by doing so, most of the team would start to hate him.
But what does it matter? He had already thought it through before he spoke.
Anyway, it's just a temporary team that will be disbanded next year, as long as he can stand up to the truth and stand up to Elena and the others, he will have a chance to continue to stay in this team with a dead face, and he can also have his own broom in advance - as for the next semester, the leader of the Quidditch team in Hufflepuff House is not Elena.
"Forget it, I'll tell you why......"
At this moment, Elena's calm voice suddenly came from ahead.
While everyone's attention was temporarily attracted to Zacharith Smith, before she knew it, Elena had arrived in front of the crate containing the four Quidditch balls.
"Because in a way, in Quidditch, I can defeat half a team by myself. β
Elena bent down as she spoke, and gently patted the struggling Bludger, as if she was patting a large watermelon rolling in a round tube in a large melon field, wanting to find out if the watermelon was ripe.
Hearing Elena's voice, Mrs. Hodge turned her head and her pupils shrank sharply.
"Wait, danger! don't open that ......"
Syllable.
Before Mrs. Hodge could say the first half of her sentence, Elena picked her fingers nimbly and let go of one of the struggling Bludgers.
Suddenly, the black Bludger swooped up from the box and smashed straight into the face of the "benefactor" who had just released it, with the momentum of wanting to smash Elena's nose directly.
"Be careful!"
Hannah let out a rapid scream and subconsciously closed her eyes.
It was too close, and with Elena not having a bat, (still in the hands of the Weasley brothers), it looked like there was no chance to counter and intercept at all.
Bang!
A loud bang suddenly came from the middle of the field.
"This, how is this possible?!"
Immediately, Hannah heard Ron's voice beside him, as if he had seen a miracle.
Did something happen?
Hannah cautiously opened her eyes and looked in Elena's direction.
I saw Elena half-sitting on the edge of the crate, crossing Erlang's legs without a ladylike image, and throwing a black leather ball up and down with one hand, although it seemed that there was no problem, but it always gave people a particularly awkward and strange feeling.
Wrong!
Hannah shook her head vigorously and rubbed her eyes vigorously, the black ball that was "thrown" back and forth by Elena was the terrible Bludger that forced Derek and Bol to dodge in embarrassment!
And Elena doesn't actually "catch" the Bludger up and down, but keeps letting go of the Bludger in her hand, and then waiting until the Bludger is about to fly out, and then grabs it back, or easily blocks the Bludger that wants to hit it down......
It's like playing, wait, she's playing!
Hannah glanced at the dull hair on Elena's head that swayed from side to side in the wind, which only showed such a carefree and relaxed appearance when Elena was in a good mood.
"Got it? So, the gap between us ......."
Elena casually glanced at the Quidditch pitch, which had fallen silent for a moment, and she knew very well that once she actually started playing, it was absolutely impossible for her strength to be hidden for long - in that case, it was better to flex her muscles while everyone was around.
After all, Zacharith Smith's doubts are definitely not accidental, this unlucky child just happened to take the initiative to bump into her gun hole because of personal interests.
Zacharith Smith is definitely not the only one in Hogwarts who has doubts about her abilities and the reputation she enjoys today, whether it is the assistant teacher of Potions class, the captain of the first new Quidditch, or the yet-to-be-revealed Hogwarts chef...... It's all too easy to arouse jealousy.
Therefore, she just took this opportunity to warn those little wizards who wanted to stumble or make trouble for her in a more "peaceful and friendly" way - she was not interested in playing any intrigue with a group of little guys, and the so-called royal way was to run over it in a dignified manner.
Of course......
The current situation is only shocking, and there is still a lack of a little sublimation process.
After all, she only showed a little bit of quality about a seeker, a goalkeeper and a half hitter, and the last and a half active attack links were missing.
Elena Lake's blue gaze slowly slid over the faces of the quiet students, and finally fell to the white-bearded old wizard who had stood up involuntarily in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, the strongest wizard in the world, since he could even block the magic of light, a small wrecking ball should be fine, right?
The corners of the girl's mouth were raised, and a dangerous arc was bent, and her white fingers were slightly buckled inward, and the struggling Bludger was firmly grasped in her hand again.
Distance, approx. 500 feet, right crosswind, 0.3 m/s, target position locked, angle corrected.
"Go! Bludger!"
"Soar into the sky!
Rumble!
