Chapter 33: Quidditch Begins
Daphany didn't know, after she left the Pig's Head Bar. Brother Mu Langming, who was originally drunk and lying on the table, sat up, although his face was still dizzy with wine, his eyes were clear.
"Hey, Uncle Mu Langming, aren't you asleep?" Jacob was surprised.
"How can this little wine be put on a mature man!" Mu Langmingo smiled proudly. Then he ignored him, but turned to Lincoln, who was sitting there thoughtfully, and said, "Are you going to talk a little too much?" ”
"This little girl belongs to the Lestrants." Lincoln thought about it and said: "The Meng family's potions business has been booming recently, and many of the old potions families are about to scold their mothers. The Potions Factory behind them is rumored to have been founded by the Lestrantse family. In just two years, it has occupied nearly half of the market in Europe and the Americas in one fell swoop, which is very powerful! ”
"So, you suspect that the wolf elixir also flowed from them?" Brother Mu Langming realized.
"It can only be said that it is possible! And a teenager has such a powerful mind and brain occlusion. I don't think this family is simple. Such a genius, the little girl of the Meng family can't compare, right? Lincoln's words flickered, "We have to investigate this family before we can make a judgment." Lincoln looked at an old man sitting in a corner behind the bar and said, "Senior, I've listened to it for so long, how about giving some advice?" ”
The old man in the corner was naturally Aberforth, but he didn't pay any attention to Lincoln when he heard this. The young bartender smiled awkwardly: "We don't like to communicate with people. ”
Lincoln nodded, not insisting. The werewolf's natural perception told him that he must not provoke the old man, otherwise the consequences would be very bad. It was the same feeling that told him that befriending Daphany would be a very beneficial thing. Werewolves, especially high-level pure-blood werewolves, trust their own perceptions.
The three werewolves waited at the bar for a while, and the Ministry of Magic staff finally arrived. Greyback, who had been lying on the cold floor for a long time, was taken away. The leader of the group, the Aurors, consulted with the three werewolves about the situation, and then asked the bartender at the bar for confirmation before leaving.
Daphany didn't know what happened after the bar, so she didn't know that the information she thought she was unaware of was actually something that someone else was willing to tell her. Still smug.
The rain hadn't stopped until she and Hermione returned to school. Fortunately, when she was at the Pig's Head Bar, she used her magic to dry her and Hermione's bodies and clothes, and asked the bartender to prepare some ginger cola. This thing bar hadn't done before, but with the sound of the golden gallons, it wasn't a problem. Hermione drank deliciously, and felt that Daphany was a foodie.
The following week, the rain was dripping. The sky has not completely cleared. As a last resort, even the Magical Beasts Conservation course, which is always taken outdoors, has been changed indoors. It was a bit of a struggle for Hagrid to stand at the front of the classroom and give a serious theory. Stumbling to the lesson plan Hermione had prepared for him.
Fortunately, he is now the king of popularity, and occasionally shows a hint of embarrassment, and the students just find it interesting and not disgusted.
It's the weekend, and the first match of the first round of the Quidditch House Cup is about to begin!
The usual first battle, Slytherin vs Gryffindor!
On Saturday's race day, the rain that lasted for almost two weeks did not mean to stop, but intensified. It had turned to torrential rain on Saturday morning.
However, the Wizard's game never changes because of the weather! Unless one side concedes defeat, the game will only go on as usual. And neither Slytherin nor Gryffindor had absolutely no intention of fleeing without a fight.
"Everybody wear goggles!" In the waiting area, Daphany made her final pre-fight speech: "Heavy rain, this is our advantage. We're stronger, and we'll be able to hold out more than Gryffindor in such bad weather. And we also have goggles! Daphany tapped the goggles on her face, "I'm sure it's impossible for all Gryffindors to have this thing, after all, it's still quite expensive." ”
The team burst into laughter. The Gryffindor players are not from a slytherin background. Therefore, the cost of equipping all employees with this kind of goggles for Quidditch pros is supposedly unaffordable.
"Besides, I said before that everyone should carry a wand, do you all have to bring it?" Daphany asked.
"Bring it!" All the team members replied loudly, then drew their wands from their robes.
Although no magic is allowed to affect the match during the match, it is considered a foul. The team members don't know why Daphany told everyone to wear their wands. But with Daphany's authority, no one dared to question her.
"Good!" Daphany nodded: "On a rainy day, there may be all kinds of dangers. Whether it's our teammates or our opponents, if something happens, I hope our players can help. With that, Daphany looked at Draco, "Last year, Draco did a great job. This is the bearing of a pure-blood nobleman. I hope that in the future, when similar situations happen, everyone can still show this kind of bearing. Can you do it? ”
"Yes!" The little snakes shouted.
"Of course, scoring is also necessary, so if something happens, it's of course the least useful ...... on the team to help people," Dafanie said, and the eyes of the other team members suddenly surrendered to the two batsmen, Lucian Bol and Perikin Derrick.
"Captain, although this is true, don't say it." Perikin Derekneniu is full of faces. Everyone laughed.
"I didn't say anything." Daphany spread her hands, looking innocent. There was another burst of laughter. Lagerstroemia
"That's it!" Daphany retracted her smile and nodded in satisfaction: "Then, there is only one thing to do!" Daphany turned and headed towards the playing field, "Win this game, Slytherin!" ”
"Slytherin!" The little snakes roared together.
Daphany has been the captain for more than two years and has been a pre-game mobilizer for more than two years. The preparation time before the game was very accurate, and almost at the same time as the little snakes shouted the slogan, Mrs. Huoqi's whistle sounded, and everyone took to the air. The game is about to begin.
The little snakes, whose heads were hot, were irritated by Daphine, rushed out with a roar and formed a formation in the air.
Bludger lifts off, followed by the Golden Snitch. After that, Mrs. Hodge throws the Quaffle high, then blows the whistle and the game begins!
Terrance took the lead with a broomstick, and the moment Mrs. Hodge blew the whistle, he rushed out and went straight to the Quaffle.
However, the accident happened, he was a little slower than Angelina, and the ghost flying ball was grabbed by Angelina first!
"How is that possible!" There was an uproar in the auditorium, especially in Slytherin. Slytherin's opening tackle was a key focus in training. Since Dafanie took over as captain, she had never conceded her first goal, but at this time it was snatched away by Angelina.
"Behold, wonderful! Angelina grabs the ball. This girl is so wonderful and so beautiful! Commentator Lee Jordan will praise Angelina unabashedly whenever he has the opportunity.
Terrance was stunned for a moment when he conceded the ball, but Graham Montey, a fifth-year student representing the academy for the first time, was highly focused. Graham Montay showed great skill and dedication during the training drafts. As a result, Cassius Warrington and Pansy, who Dafanie is very optimistic about in other fifth-year colleges, became his replacements.
Riding the light wheel left by Marcus two thousand and one, Graham first turned around, and chased Angelina with Daphany, who was also turned. But the two were surprised to find out...... Can't catch up!
Sweep the Seven Stars, Number Seven!
Daphne notices the broom that Angelina is riding, it is the latest broom in the Sweep series, the Sweep Seven Star Seven! Although the speed is slightly inferior to the latest Smooth Wheel 2002 of the Light Wheel series, it is more flexible. Compared to the light wheel 2001, it is an all-round transcendence. And whether it is Graham or Daphany, at this time it is all Halo 2001!
Careless!
Daphine secretly cursed her mother, and at this time she realized that it was not just a broom. Angelina also wears the goggles worn by her team for the Quidditch Pro team. And not just her, but everyone in the entire Gryffindor team.
Daphany overlooked a few things, such as the Weasley twins being rich!
The toy factory has been in operation for more than a year and is now the second largest manufacturer and seller of magic joke products in Europe and the entire wizarding world after condiment joke shops. The income of the twins is already a very, very staggering figure. But since this number was still nowhere near Daphany's Potions Factory, Daphany didn't care much about it.
At this time, it is still a little difficult for the twin brothers to give each member of the team a new broom. But it's no problem to buy a top-of-the-line broom and a pair of goggles for each person. In fact, that's what they did.
The two of them could already cope with the game by their own sweep of the Seven Star Five, so they invested in Angelina. Of course, it's hard to say whether there are other intentions. Because the broom was given to Angelina by Fred in the name of an early birthday present. Yes, for Angelina, not the team. Fred's careful thinking is also okay~
Just like last year's training, Slytherin didn't reveal his new broomstick. Gryffindor, in order to achieve the surprise effect, did not let Angelina expose the new broom during training.
Angelina only practiced secretly by herself when she was sure that no one was looking. At times like this, Fred is usually around to help her with the wind.
Angelina's flying skills are second to none in the academy! She is confident that she doesn't need to practice too much and can easily master this new broomstick.
And she did. The Odd Soldier caught Slytherin off guard. Snatching the Quaffle with lightning speed, both Dafanie and Graham couldn't catch up with her. As for the goalkeeper, it has never been a commendable role in Quidditch.
Gryffindor leads 10-0. For the first time in nearly three years, a team has taken the first goal from Slytherin!
"Captain, what should I do?" Terrence, who got the serve, asked Dafanie.
"It's okay, it's just a broom!" Daphany smiled indifferently: "Quidditch can play lone wolf is a Seeker, not a Chaser!" ”
