Chapter 52: The Living Point Map

The second half of the semester seems to be the most uneventful of Daphany's three academic years. The blandness even made Daphany feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not that nothing happened during the end of the semester, but that nothing could be considered dangerous. The only thing worth mentioning is that the academy has come up with new suggestions for the format of the competition. The points system has been revised to change from the current accumulation of points to the accumulation of winning points, so as to deal with the average number of points that may occur. However, although this plan has been unanimously approved by the school and the participating teams, it is still planned to be implemented until the next season. This makes the final victory of this year's Quidditch Cup full of suspense.

As of Easter, eleven of the twelve games of the season have been played. Once again, the final suspense of the Quidditch Cup remains, with Gryffindor taking on Slytherin.

In the first round, Ravenclaw and Slytherin both won two and lost one, temporarily leading the rankings. And in the second half of the season, they still performed remarkably. Although he lost the first game to Gryffindor, he won the next two games, Slytherin and Hufflepuff, and currently leads the standings with 4 wins and 2 losses, and has a whopping 1,740 points.

Slytherin was in good shape, losing to Ravenclaw but beating Hufflepuff in the following game. Ended a losing streak against Hufflepuff. After training hard, Draco finally finished his first snatch of the Golden Snitch in Cedric's presence. This excites him for a long time.

Slytherin have now played five of their six games, with three wins and two losses and 1,400 points. There is still a good chance of a final victory.

Hufflepuff has had a bad year by comparison. After Cedric became the captain, he built a strong team. This team might have easily won the Quidditch House Cup in previous years. However, this year was one of the hellish difficulties that came to be made by later Quidditch players! All four teams are unprecedentedly strong.

Although the Hufflepuff chaser team is strong enough to suppress Gryffindor, who is known as Angelina, the house's chief chaser, but Gryffindor and Harry on a firebow arrow. Even though he won the Quaffle score, he finally lost the game because of the Golden Snitch's defeat! And the same situation, the second half of the season happened three times in a row! In the end, Hufflepuff ended the season with 1 win and 5 losses. The bottom of the season is irretrievable.

Gryffindor, on the other hand, went 1-2 in the first half of the season and beat Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw in the second half of the season due to Harry's super activity. Also currently 3-2. The win was the same as that of Slytherin. But they have a terrible problem. It was because the second half of their season was all because Harry won the game by grabbing the Golden Snitch quickly. So the game is very short. And the short duration means that the chaser has less time to score. In fact, Gryffindor has won three games so far, but only 1170 points. Compared to Slytherin, who also won three games, it is a whopping 230 points. It is even worse than the current leader Ravenclaw by as much as 570 points!

This means that if Gryffindor wants to win the Quidditch Cup, they must not only win the last game against Slytherin, but also have to score more than 570 points in total.

Slytherin, on the other hand, if they want to win the Quidditch Cup. On the premise of getting the last game, you only need to get a total score of more than 340 points. In terms of difficulty, the two sides are not the same. Although 340 points is also a high score, it is still a normal score for a game. And 570 points is a super high score that has never been seen in the past three years.

In this way, the direction of the game is very unpredictable. Judging by Harry's performance in the second half of the season, he has been more than one step ahead of Draco. If it was just for one game, he would most likely be able to get the Golden Snitch first and win a single match. However, it is difficult for Gryffindor to get a high score of 570. And without such points, even if they win the game, they will lose to Ravenclaw because of the total points deficit.

And if you stretch the game, there will be too many changes. Not to mention that due to the increase in the length of the game, Draco may get the Golden Snitch first because of the dribble. In terms of chaser strength alone, Gryffindor is no match for Slytherin in terms of the current situation.

In the second half of the season, both games against Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Gryffindor's chasers were down. Slytherin, on the other hand, was at least a draw, and even gradually showed their advantage as the length of the match increased. Therefore, it is definitely not a good idea to want to fight Slytherin for a long time.

As a result, all three teams are nervous. Ravenclaw was hoping for Gryffindor to win, because if they wanted to win, they would most likely rely on Harry to quickly grab the Golden Snitch and end the game. However, in this way, their points are likely to be low or even low. Then Ravenclaw will win this year's Quidditch Cup because of the points. Slytherin, on the other hand, was eyeing a three-hundred-and-forty victory, a goal that would not be difficult to accomplish as long as Draco gave him his strength. Finally, there are Gryffindors, although they still maintain the theoretical possibility of winning the eventual victory, but everyone knows how difficult it is.

So throughout the Easter holidays, both the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams were training like crazy. However, Slytherin was a crazy drill for Draco, while Gryffindor wanted to strengthen their team of chasers.

"Cousin, have you noticed anything?" At the end of the day's training, Draco suddenly ran up to Daphany and whispered.

"What's the matter?" Although the main goal of training is Draco, Daphany trains a lot of work. At this time, I was very tired, and I didn't have much to say.

Draco was used to it, and said directly, "Professor Lupin seems to have gained a lot of weight." No, it's not that I'm fat, I should say I'm a lot stronger! Looks like the food at Hogwarts is really good. At that, Draco smirked. One is to mock Lupin's downfall before, and he can't even eat a good meal. The second is self-satisfaction, and Hogwarts' food improvement has a lot to do with him. 85

Daphine was stunned when she heard this, and looked at the edge of the training ground.

Lupin was standing at the top of the audience, looking around. I don't know what I'm looking at. Under his still old robes, it can indeed be clearly seen that his originally thin body has obviously strengthened a lot.

It's kind of interesting!

Daphany chuckled. Lupin's change may not be due to Hogwarts food! When it comes to food, there are more people eating Hogwarts food, and there are really a lot of fat gains. The girls in each branch have often focused on dieting, weight loss and weight loss recently, and it has to be said that the improvement of food is indeed obvious. But if you want to be as strong as Lupin, normally speaking, you need not only to eat well and keep up with nutrition, but also to exercise enough.

For example, there are four Quidditch teams at Hogwarts today. Influenced by Daphany, in addition to flying skills training, she also focused on strengthening physical training. A lot of the boys got stronger. But even for well-trained Quidditch players, the change was far less pronounced than Lupin's.

So, Lupin's change is not because of food, but because of the wolf elixir!

It's the end of May, and it's been nine months since Lupin took a wolf elixir to deal with the transformation. According to the previous three American werewolves, werewolves that have been consumed for one year will be purified. But what exactly the time was, there was no clear wanted at that time. At this time, it seems that nine to ten months will already have obvious results.

If this is what Daphne thinks, Lupin is no longer a wolf slave but a low-level pure-blood werewolf. If you have a chance, you should observe his transformation. It is said that there are still some differences between werewolf transformation and wolf slave transformation. However, Daphany has only seen a transformation of Fenrir Greyback, and there is a bit of a lack of comparative data.

After the Easter holidays, there will be final revision and final exams, and the semester will be almost over. But until now, this year's big plot has not been carried out. Daphany was a little flustered. As a result, I often sneak out at night during this time to talk to Blake. But this dog can't be cautious, and Dafanie never finds a chance. Occasionally, it runs fast.

Daphany is in a hurry, so she has been sneaking out of the castle every other night. She is very confident in her strength at this time, confident that in the face of any situation, if she just wants to get out of the situation, it will be no problem.

Seeing that time is getting tighter, Daphany goes out more and more often.

One night in the final days of the Easter holidays, Daphany left the dormitory again incognito, preparing to leave the castle to find Blake. However, as soon as she reached the hallway on the first floor, she noticed that someone seemed to be leaning towards her.

It seemed to be an acquaintance, but there were some unfamiliar magic fluctuations, and Daphany couldn't react to who it was for a while.

However, Daphany didn't care, she added a stunner and a confusion charm to herself, not worrying that anyone would find her.

But Daphne walked a little further and realized that something was wrong, and the man had been following her all the time. This is strange, how did the other party find out? Although he only used a phantom spell, not a high-level invisibility spell. If I have to say, there are some signs, but they definitely have to be in good light. The dark corridors of the castle definitely do not meet this condition.

After deliberately detouring two corridors, Daphany realized that the man could still keep up with her.

Problematic! Daphne's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stopped a short distance around the corner of a hallway. The wand is in the hand. She's doing things she doesn't want anyone to find out.

Gentle footsteps were heard, and a tall figure approached from around the corner. Daphne cast the Petrification Charm almost immediately, and it was a silent spell. Her petrification spell is basically what her mind knows, and she can release it at will. However, the man still had a magic shield in front of him, resisting the petrification, and reacted much faster than Daphine had expected.

"Miss Lestranzie, don't be nervous. I'm not here to deduct points for you. Lupin's gentle voice came, followed by a faint fluorescence that illuminated the figure, which was naturally Lupin. He held a wand in one hand and a large but folded piece of brown paper in the other. Dafanie looked at the thing, her brow furrowed slightly, and she knew why Lupin was able to keep up with her. That's a live map!
