The next morning, the weather was sunny and slightly cool.

The auditorium was filled with the tantalizing aroma of grilled sausages, and the whole school was whispering about today's upcoming Quidditch Cup final, with everyone looking forward to a great Quidditch match and chatting happily.

The members of the freshman team did not split up at the tables of each house as usual, but all of them, centered on Elena, were crowded at the end of the long Hufflepuff table, all of them looking nervous and silent.

The announcement of Elena Kaslana's position adjustment has been announced, and in the eyes of the vast majority of students, the final with a huge disparity in the odds of victory and defeat has once again returned to a level of parity - when the sharpest offensive spearhead of the first-year team becomes a shield, the result of everything becomes expected again.

As the young wizards of the freshman team walked into the auditorium, the students of the other three houses, in addition to Slytherin House, applauded and cheered them on, as if they were the Quidditch team of their respective houses.

However, the Slytherin House side was full of cynicism.

"Traitor!

"If I were you, I should have withdrawn from the competition yesterday!"

"Phew! Slytherin's disgrace. ”

Perhaps because of the shadow left by the recent incident with the three-headed dog blocking the door, most of the attacks fell on Draco, Goyle, and Crabbe, and Elena noticed that Malfoy's face was paler than usual.

Goyle and Crabbe were so immersed in their breakfast that they didn't dare to turn their heads to look at the Slytherin table next door.

Looks like we're going to need to stay in Slytherin House for a while after the game......

Elena glanced at Draco Malfoy's faces and wandered between the long tables in Slytherin House, and did not choose to respond at this time, but silently remembered a few faces in her mind.

Just as Hufflepuffs didn't fully understand what 'friendly' meant, Slytherin, which lived through Voldemort's time, had long forgotten what true 'honor' and 'ambition' were.

Blindly using violence and power to control Slytherin will only make Voldemort's false ideas and influence in the house more and more deep, and Slytherin House today has more problems than the resilient and unsharp Hufflepuffs - they are too easy to compromise and too easily tempted by some superficial interests.

Salazar Slytherin was the most stubborn of the four founders, the one who valued honor the most, and was also the purest in his pursuit of magic and power.

It's just that Elena's ability to change the philosophy of an academy alone is too difficult and long, and she doesn't plan to become the next Voldemort. Therefore, she needs to guide and nurture a true Slytherin, awakening the noble, shrewd, and honorable House from the inside out.

Draco Malfoy, on the other hand, is clearly the perfect fit.

With such a long time together, some qualities in Draco Malfoy have gradually begun to come to the fore.

For example, his strong desire for victory, his well-concealed ambition, his emphasis on honor and small group membership, and his growing ability to read words and colors...... The Sorting Hat, which embodies the wisdom of the four founders, can hardly go wrong, but it can only be a Sorting House, and it cannot accompany the growth of every young wizard.

What kind of people a person meets on the way of growth, what kind of social circle he enters, and what kind of growth atmosphere he faces are important factors that determine a person's future personality and the direction of the three views.

From the moment Draco, Goyle, and Crabbe stepped into Elena's box with Neville's toad on the Hogwarts Express, their lives have taken a completely different path than in the books......

As if sensing Elena's gaze, Draco Malfoy looked up and looked at Elena with a determined expression.

"Don't worry, big sister, we will definitely win this game!"

"Of course, I never worried about that. ”

Elena smiled and slice open half of the tantalizing aroma of Trisson sausage, a slightly spicy, yet smoky salami that suited Slytherin's palate.

"It's going to be a long fight today and you need to be strong as a chaser. The pressure of being down on aggregate will force Slytherin to adopt an all-attacking line-up before taking a small lead, so I hope you can play to the effect of your previous training in this game and get the first step through the Slytherin goal. If you feel worried......"

"Don't worry about me, big sister. ”

Draco Malfoy shook his head, and replied in a firm tone as he watched Elena put a few more sliced omelettes on his plate, as well as a few pieces of beef sprinkled with black pepper and a faint hint of the dried aroma of the roasted ones.

"Just feel comfortable handing me the Quaffle, I'll let them know what a mistake it is to give up defending altogether – and it's because I'm on Slytherin that I'm able to try to win with ease and without hesitation. ”

"But, but...... If I don't catch the Golden Snitch in time......"

Unlike Draco Malfoy's relaxed mindset, Harry Potter was obviously much more nervous as a first-time Seeker, and even though he had been in the prize room last night to see his father's Quidditch trophy, he was still not so confident.

Among the members of the freshman team around the field, he barely ate.

"Don't be nervous, Harry, you have a good Quidditch bloodline in your family. ”

Elena patted Harry on the shoulder and forced a slice of toast coated in strawberry jam into his hand.

"It's like you got your mother's talent in Potions class, you obviously inherited your father's talent when it comes to Quidditch, you need talent to fly, and if you're not confident, think about Hermione-"

"Elena!"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make Harry feel a little better. ”

"Hmph, I won't bother with you today......"

Hermione let out a noncommittal grunt and gave Elena a hard look, as if considering that the game was about to start, so instead of fighting back as usual, she followed her to coax Harry.

"Harry, you'll have to take a few bites of breakfast, or you won't have the strength to catch the Snitch even if you see it - you can, think of your dad, who started the first four-game winning dynasty in Gryffindor Quidditch history. ”

"But my dad is a chaser...... "Harry squeezed the slice of bread in his hand worriedly.

"Hey, don't forget, man. In the 1973 Quidditch Cup record at Hogwarts, James Potter is written below the position of Seeker, and your father won the title of Seeker in his first year. ”

Ron Weasley leaned over and bumped Harry on the shoulder, excitedly.

"Do you know what Percy said about our team last night? we are not a house team, we are the Hogwarts team, we are the Moonlight Seven of Hogwarts, it is absolutely impossible for a Slytherin house to defeat the united Hogwarts Freshman team, let alone the ...... of the moonlight that belongs to the sky."

"yes, that's right. ”

Harry looked around at the friends he had met at Hogwarts over the past year, feeling the power gradually welling up from within, and his body seemed to become lighter, and he couldn't wait to take to the skies, an experience he hadn't had in ten years before.

After a few seconds of pause, Harry turned his head to look at Elena and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, I've got it! There's nothing to be afraid of! Because I'm no longer a ...... Uh-huh-hmm......"

"Now that you understand, you can close your mouth and eat breakfast for me, don't say such bad things!"

Before Harry could finish speaking, Elena grabbed the bread from Harry's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking back the words behind the "Star of Savior".

............

By around eleven o'clock, all the teachers and students of the school were in the stands around the Quidditch pitch.

Thanks to the magic left over from the previous public trial, the spectator platform was widened considerably, and the grandstand was raised to mid-air to make it easier for teachers and students to watch the upcoming Quidditch matches, and many students even sent binoculars to their homes.

In addition, Ludo Bagman, the director of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Sports, journalists from sports newspapers, and scouts from a number of Quidditch League Cup professional teams were present to wait for the upcoming match, including players or agents from well-known teams such as Charlie Cannon (21 titles), Ballycastle Bats (27 titles), Holyhead Harbies (the only all-witch team), and Pudmere United (22 titles, Carrot favorites).

According to the information they received, Hogwarts has produced some of the best Quidditch Rising Stars this year, and a team of seven first-year students has swept the Quidditch teams of all four Hogwarts houses.

If the status of the Quidditch League Cup in the wizarding world is equivalent to that of the NBA, then the annual Quidditch House Cup at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the equivalent of a miniature NCAA, and you can imagine the excitement in everyone's hearts when these Quidditch teams know that they are about to have a draft year.
