Chapter 50: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw
"Why do you say that?" Daphine was visibly stunned for a moment, but that was it. Then he asked with a smile pretending to be nothing.
However, her performance was still noticed by the perceptive Hermione.
"You've already found out, haven't you?" Hermione whispered, "I just feel like you have some special private conversation with Professor Lupin. β
"Little girl, why are you so smart?" Daphany pouted, now that Hermione had found out. Daphne simply didn't want to hide it anymore. He took Hermione's small hand and said, "You come with me." β
Daphany took Hermione to the Room of Requirement, this time in a quiet little cafΓ©.
Hermione was visiting the Room for the first time and looked surprised, "How can there be such a room here?" I don't even know! β
"It's a responsive house. One of the most special rooms in the castle is only found under certain circumstances. Daphany briefly introduced the situation and how it appeared, and then asked Hermione with a straight face: "How did you know about Professor Lupin?" β
"Hmm," Hermione whispered, reining in her curiosity about the Room of Requirement, "I'm not alone, there are actually two older students in Ravenclaw who have this suspicion as well." When Professor Lupin told them about two nocturnal creatures, he briefly displayed the form of the creature in the dark of the night. It was noticed at the time that in the darkness, Professor Lupin's eyes glowed, and it was a green light. But at that time, for a moment, no one else noticed. So they suspect that they may have seen it wrong, and I also heard it by chance. On one occasion, though, I went to deliver homework to Professor Lupin in his office. I noticed that his suitcase was not closed, and there were a lot of potions in it. The color of those potions is very special, I went to check it later, and it is very likely that it is a wolf poison potion! β
Little girl, you're too smart. Daphany smacked her mouth. After thinking about it, he replied sideways: "Hermione, let me ask you, what would you do if Professor Lupin was really a werewolf?" β
"This ......" Hermione hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "I don't know, although the books say that werewolves are cruel and tyrannical, but the few American werewolves we met in Hogsmeade before are still very polite, aren't they." And helped us subdue that bad werewolf. And Professor Lupin's lecture was very good and attentive. All the students loved him......"
"So what?" Daphine smiled softly.
"So......" Hermione was slightly confused. She realized that she had already had the answer: "Professor Lupin is actually a good professor and a good person...... Even if he's really a werewolf...... I, I'll hide it for him. β
"What a kind child." Dafanie scratched Hermione's smiling face and said with a smile, "In that case, I might as well tell you that your guess is correct, Professor Lupin is indeed a werewolf, but he is also a poor man. Do you remember the last werewolf we caught? β
"The one who attacked us, of course I remember." Hermione said she had a very good memory.
"That guy's name is Fenrir Greyback, and werewolves are good and bad, and that guy is the worst of them. He always deliberately infects ordinary people and wizards, turning them into wolf slaves. The most hateful thing is that his skills are average, and he may not be able to beat adult wizards, so he often infects children! When Daphany said this, her tone was full of disgust and disdain.
Actually, Daphany really said it wrong. Fenrir Greyback is of average strength, and that is in the eyes of her, who has surpassed the average wizard. In fact, Greyback's strength is above average even among the Death Eaters. Coupled with the strength after transforming into a werewolf, there are only a few Death Eaters who can beat him. However, due to his werewolf status, most of the Death Eaters looked down on him, so he had no status among the Death Eaters.
"Deliberately biting a child?" When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but show a strong sense of disgust.
"Yes," Daphine nodded, "Professor Lupin was bitten by him when he was a child!" Because of his status as a werewolf, Professor Lupin had few friends when he was a child, and he couldn't find a job when he grew up...... At least before coming to our academy, it was a miserable mess......"
"Professor Lupin is so pathetic." Daphne briefly talked about Lupin's previous situation, and immediately said that Hermione, who was full of sympathy, was in tears. In fact, where did Daphany know about Lupin, most of it was her nonsense. Casually put something she knew about a down-and-out werewolf on Lupin. It's pretty much the same anyway.
"yes, it's pathetic." Daphany nodded.
"So, can we help him?" Hermione asked again, and Daphne froze. Yunnan

After the new semester dinner, the new semester began.
Everything is going well at the start of the new semester. This is especially true of the first Fantastic Beasts class of the new year. Despite the cold weather, Hagrid lit a campfire on the hunting ground and demonstrated salamanders and fire snakes to the trainees. The students were all interested, and although some of the students had small holes in their robes burned by the fire snake, all the students were very happy.
Hagrid's attitude towards Daphany in class bordered on flattery. This made all the students feel very confused, although the relationship between Daphany and Hagrid was okay before, but it was much more than that. In fact, Hagrid had a better opinion of Draco than Daphany. After all, Draco really liked dragons, and Hagrid loved dragons.
Few students know how Daphany took Hagrid into custody. Few students also know that there is an extra griffon in the Black Forest! Although the griffon's magical abilities were mediocre, they were fierce and aggressive, and soon gained a foothold in the Forbidden Forest.
Yes, the griffon that Daphany captured in the United States was given to Hagrid as a Christmas present. Although the griffin was tied up at the time, it was also very badly injured. This made Hagrid a little uncomfortable, but it also made it easier for Hagrid and the griffin to make initial contact. Hagrid formed a friendship with the griffon while helping him heal his injuries. Otherwise, even if Hagrid could beat the griffin, he would not be able to catch the griffin if it flew away. The griffon's ability to fly is not comparable to that of a Hippogriff.
Daphany was initially uncomfortable with Hagrid's flattery, but gradually got used to it. The other students were curious about Hagrid's attitude, but after a long time, they got used to it. And, there is more to care about than these little things.
Daphany cares about Sirius Black. It had been a while since she returned to the castle, but Daphne had never seen the unfamiliar black dog.
Daphne is the only one who cares about Blake, and everyone else cares about the other thing - Quidditch matches!
One of the happy things that happened during the Christmas break was that Oliver Wood was invited to try out for Pudmere United's academy team. This is the second time after Marcus that a student has been invited to try out at a professional club. Although the invitation to the youth team was a little worse than the tryout invitation of Marcus's crossbow team, it still aroused the excitement of all the students.
The frenzied training of the entire Gryffindor team during the Christmas season was watched by all the students who stayed at the school. Angelina, who has already confirmed her succession as captain of Quidditch, has called out the slogan to use this year's Quidditch Cup as a graduation gift for Wood. However, Gryffindor wants the Quidditch Cup, and so do the other houses. Both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have threatened that while they are happy that Wood is in the pro team, the Quidditch Cup must be them. Slytherin didn't say anything, but that was because Daphany wasn't at the house at the time. Everyone knows that when it comes to ruthless words, the other teams are younger brothers.
Sure enough, the first thing Daphine did when she came back was to threaten: You guys are defeated, and you still want to turn it over after losing for two years? Dream on. We're going to win back-to-back titles this year. If you want to get a Quidditch cup, wait for the old lady to graduate.
Because of Daphine's influence, although the competition between the various house teams is fierce, the personal relationship is very good. Therefore, the mouth flew, but the bottom group of team members and friends also gathered together to celebrate with Wood. Afterwards, the Weasley twins said that the party was paid for by Daphany, and that the butterbeer alone cost no less than a hundred gold Galleons that night.
In the anticipation of everyone, the first game of the new school year began.
The game is very unspectatory. That's how Daphany sees it.
The game is gorgeous and exciting, which is the opinion of many other Quidditch lovers.
Why is there such a difference? The reason is simple, the chaser did not perform.
Less than five minutes into the game, the game was over. The chasers on both sides are actually very good, especially the Ravenclaw team. But no matter how good a Seeker is, five minutes won't be too good to perform. So when the Golden Snitch was caught, the score was just 40:50, with Ravenclaw taking the lead. However, Harry caught the Golden Snitch and surpassed him by 140 points in one fell swoop.
Harry, who had obtained the Firebolt, was so efficient at catching the Snitch that he was. Even Tiffany was very optimistic and thought that Cho Zhang, who was very good at his skills, seemed to have no sense of existence in front of him. Moreover, Harry's speed is a little too fast!
Hurry, really fast! Harry used a vacation time to familiarize himself with the firebolts, and the strength he displayed made Daphany and the other Quidditch players who were watching secretly frightened.
With just two alternating high-speed changes of direction, Harry was able to completely shake off Coqiu Zhang. Then he quickly caught the Golden Snitch in the midst of everyone's amazed gaze. There was no suspense in the whole process, and from this moment on, Harry Hogwarts's identity as the chief Seeker was unquestionable, with unparalleled dominance in the Golden Snitch competition!
