Perhaps for most young wizards, the meaning of Hogwarts is very clear - school, another home.

They learn magic here, spend the most important period of their lives, make friends here, and even find a path to love and the future of life here, and of course, maybe some of the bitterness and regrets of youth.

At the same time, just like Severus Snape, Tom Riddle, Newt Scamander, Harry Potter......

Almost all the children who walk out of this castle can't help but think of it as their home – even the most vicious and bad guys, and they will be more than happy to return here if they have the chance.

However, in Elena's eyes, Hogwarts has more meaning.

It was a responsibility she was destined to carry, an area that overlapped between the unreal and the real, and......

In a sense, this is a special kind of "prison".

Elena was not an ignorant child, and she could clearly feel that Dumbledore's attitude towards her had changed after two major events, and some of the measures had changed.

Whether it's acquiescing to her appointment as a Potions Teaching Assistant, or taking the initiative to create a first-year Quidditch team, whether it's agreeing to her multi-house status, or acknowledging her status as a Hogwarts Head Chef.

There is no doubt that Albus Dumbledore, having learned the lessons of the previous lessons, is carefully confined her energy to this castle.

But this does not mean that Elena has completely compromised, she is not an innocent and harmless savior like Harry, as the third generation of the Dark Lord, she knew very well from the beginning what Dumbledore had in mind.

In fact, to be precise, the forced abduction of Elena from Loch Lomond to Hogwarts is not a complete thing to do now.

What's more, no matter how you look at it, the three unbreakable oaths imprinted on the back of her hands are essentially the three shackles used to bind her.

Unlike Grindelwald, who eats and waits for death, Elena will not obediently obey Dumbledore's arrangement, and the first thing she wants to resist is naturally to have the ability to escape Dumbledore's control for a short time.

The sky is undoubtedly a weak link for Dumbledore, flying magic is not very useful in this world, and according to Elena's knowledge of the wizarding world these days, there are not too many ways to counter wizards in the sky at present.

In addition to the common broomsticks versus broomsticks, it is either a magical creature that can fly such as a Thestrals, a fire dragon, or a thunderbird, similar to the Aerial Dance or the Douqi Wing, which has not yet appeared.

On the other hand, the physical fitness of a centenarian also severely limits his possibilities to complete certain extreme pursuits in the sky.

Therefore, Elena was at least ninety percent sure that as long as she got a broomstick that was the best in today's magic industry, she would be able to effortlessly minimize Dumbledore's threat temporarily.

At that time, Dumbledore could only let go of his cruel words to deter him, except for blowing his beard and glaring angrily on the ground.

So, even if there was no shortage of "plastic wrap", Elena would have found a way to sneak out of Hogwarts, and if it was really just a simple need, she could have written to Father Priest to help with the purchase.

The Hogwarts chef's procurement needs were just a good excuse for Elena.

And in this way, Dumbledore has a step to go down, at most, the heart load is slightly larger, which will neither damage the majesty of the headmaster, nor will it have any greater negative effects...... Right?

Elena thought as she cast her gaze on the Quidditch field in front of her.

The afternoon flight lesson was over, and under the leadership of Lady Hodge, all the Year 1 wizards were on the Quidditch pitch to participate in or watch the next "big reality talent show".

Arriving a little earlier than them were the captains of the Quidditch teams from each house.

The directors of the four houses all tacitly agreed to their request to leave classes early, allowing them to come to Hogwarts Stadium to watch and study the selection process of this group of new students - whether it is to find out the "enemy situation" in advance, or to discover new blood that can be added to the team in the future, it is quite a meaningful thing.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in class, perhaps the four deans would have come to the Quidditch pitch to watch.

The Quidditch pitch in the afternoon sun is a sight to behold, with hundreds of chairs perched high in the surrounding huge ring of stands, ensuring that every spectator can see what's going on on the pitch.

At each end of the pitch were three golden pillars, each fifty feet tall and topped with a ring.

This is the main battle between the two sides of Quidditch today, and although the victory or defeat is not entirely determined by the goal difference, the excitement of the game is mainly due to the offensive and defensive games between the two sides.

At the bottom of the post, the little wizards who wanted to sign up for the "Hogwarts 1st Year Quidditch Team" were manipulating their broomsticks in turn to make a series of prescribed moves according to Madame Hodge's request.

The reason why Hogwarts does not allow first-year students to have broomsticks is not unreasonable, even at a time when Quidditch is extremely popular, there are still a few wizarding families that can actually give their children flying experience before entering school.

And among these few people, at least half of the little wizards who are not so good at flying will have to be removed.

Madame Hodge didn't have any intention of letting go of the water, and even if it was just a freshman Quidditch team that tried more meaning, she still maintained a very strict standard.

For those first-year freshmen who had just learned how not to let themselves fall off the broomstick, they were all directly removed from the selection list by Mrs. Hodge.

In fact, in the wizarding world, flying is a recognized ability that is only slightly friendlier than divination.

Perhaps after a year of flying lessons, most young wizards can successfully control broomsticks, but those who are truly talented, without exception, have already shown a unique flight affinity when they first come into contact with broomsticks.

According to official Quidditch research, there is no such thing as a late-blooming hard-working player.

Even Fitz, the Tornado chaser who was recognized this year as a result of his hard work, is nothing more than a Quidditch version of the story of the ugly duckling turned swan - he just tapped into his talent, and many people seem to forget that he was a professional player from the beginning.

"It's boring...... It would have been nice to have known that the selection of people would have been named directly, and there was no point in such a tryout. ”

Elena sat on top of a broken broom, floating in mid-air like a swing.

Ignoring the envious and marvelous glances cast from all corners of the Quidditch pitch from time to time, Elena looked at the immature and clumsy performances of the little wizards in front of her with disgust, and sighed helplessly, her eyes gradually began to empty.

It's not that she's distracted, it's mainly that the Quidditch audition for first-year freshmen in front of her is really a little less suspenseful, especially after knowing the ending in advance, and even the last bit of fun is not much.

If it weren't for the fact that as the captain of the freshman team, she would have wanted to leave early.

After all, the flight test of a group of little guys really doesn't have much to watch, it's much worse than any air show in the previous life, and I don't know where the captains of the Quidditch team around the stands are interested in watching it all the time.

After being screened by Madame Hooch, a total of seven young wizards passed the first round of the test, waiting for the arrival of the broomsticks from the professional team promised by Dumbledore on Saturday, and then the allocation of places in the team.

As it turned out, there were no surprises in the final selection – Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Zachares Smith, and......

"Hannah, I didn't expect her to fly...... Didn't she say she didn't want to be on Quidditch before?"

Hermione looked at Hannah Abbott soaring in the sky in amazement, and Elena floating in mid-air like a feather, with extremely mixed feelings.

Although Hannah's performance was not too good, she still stumbled through the primaries by virtue of growing up in a wizarding family—as for Miss Hermione Chocobo Granger, she is still stuck in the stage of how to get the broom to obediently not throw her off.
