Chapter 327: The First Dish Before Dinner

Competing for the House Quidditch Cup?"

Hermione Granger furrowed her eyebrows, looked around at her classmates, and whispered a little nervously, "Doesn't that mean that some of us are going to go to our own house?"

Aside from her, however, most of the young first-year wizards on the field were not as anxious as she was, and many looked excitedly at Elena and Madame Hooch expectantly, waiting for them to reveal more details about the new Quidditch team.

"As you all know, for safety reasons, first-year Hogwarts students are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks. ”

Madame Hodge looked around at the young wizards, then continued with Elena's words.

However, as the sport of Quidditch has spread and spread over the years, the school's professors agree that the traditional teaching of the basics from scratch may not be entirely appropriate. Therefore, this semester Professor Dumbledore will be bringing in a batch of broomsticks from the professional Quidditch team for the first year Quidditch team to use in training and matches. ”

"As for Miss Caslana's participation in the House Quidditch Cup, it's not something you need to worry about right now. Again, I have to reiterate, it only takes you to be able to beat any of the Academy's official teams in a practice match - and to be honest, the odds of that happening are even slimmer than breaking the record for the fastest capture of the Golden Snitch by the Tathill Tornadoes. (They only took three and a half seconds!)"

As she said this, Mrs. Hodge turned her head to look at Hermione, smiled and nodded.

Clearly, she had just happened to hear the whisper of concern coming from the mouth of the little Gryffindor witch.

In fact, in the eyes of Mrs. Hodge and most of the professors, this rule is just to give the young wizards a motivation to work hard - after all, compared to the senior students, the physical disadvantage of the first year young wizards who have just begun to develop is still too obvious, and if it were not for the uncertainty of the Golden Snitch, their hope of winning could even be directly described as zero.

"Of course, not to mention the House Cup, even if it's Quidditch, it's still a long way from you. ”

Mrs. Hooch crossed her arms, her falcon-like yellow eyes swept sharply over the excited faces of the students, and her tone gradually began to become stern.

"Before you do that, the first thing you need to think about is how to make it to the Quidditch team in the selection on Friday. After all the new students have finished flying, I will follow Miss Caslana's advice and first select seven young wizards to join the initial Quidditch team - if there are students who do well in the next few weeks of class, I will also consider having them join the Quidditch team. ”

"I'm going to make the cut! and I'm sure I'm going to be the first batch!"

Draco Malfoy puffed out his chest proudly, turned his head to look at Goyle and Crabbe beside him, and said in a low voice.

After his first test flight in flight lesson, Draco thought he was the best performer in the entire Gryffindor and Slytherin first year, with the exception of Elena's eldest sister.

But it seems that he is not the only one who thinks the same way as him.

At least not far away, Ron Weasley had the same pride on his face, and he had been following Quidditch for many years, and he was able to say at least twenty or more flying techniques in ten seconds without thinking - in his opinion, playing with a brain is obviously more important in a game of Quidditch than simply flying well.

Even Harry Potter, who came into contact with the broomstick for the first time, had a look of eagerness written in his eyes.

For some reason, since he first heard about broomsticks and Quidditch, Harry had always had a desire to fly, as if it were a desire buried deep in his blood, and the recent test flight had filled Harry with confidence.

For the first time in his life, Harry found a skill he could teach without a teacher, flying. It was as if he had been born with a skill, and within two minutes of flying, he was able to begin to mimic the likes of Ron and Draco, smoothly making some fancy broomstick trajectories in the air.

"Well, all in all, that's exactly what happened. ”

Madame Hodge clapped her hands lightly and looked at the little wizards who were still talking and refused to disperse, "It's not early now, and dinner will start in a while." I suggest you head back to your common room to take a shower and change into dry clothes – the senior year is almost over. ”

As Mrs. Hodge's voice and the excitement of the students had begun to dissipate, the young wizards began to feel the slimy and hot flashes coming from their sweat-soaked clothes after an afternoon of exercise, and a desire to take a shower instantly took over their minds.

Hermione, who was already not interested in Quidditch, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to pull Elena in the direction of the castle - according to her and Hannah's agreement, every Friday, Elena, who needed two extra Potions classes, belonged to Gryffindor House temporarily.

In other words, from this flight lesson until the end of the flight lesson on Friday afternoon, Hermione Granger was in charge of Elena's navigation in the castle.

"Let's go, let's go...... I could even smell the sour smell on my body, it was so uncomfortable. I don't want to wear this slimy dress to the library to read. ”(>﹏<)

"Okay, yes, yes!, when it's time to take a shower, can you help me wipe the shower gel on my back again? I can't reach ...... myself"~(oγ€Žo?) ~

"Don't even think about it, you lied to me like this last time, and it ended up sticking to the bubbles in my chest. And ......"(# Μ„~ Μ„#)

"I promise not this time, I swear! Absolutely safe, you can help me again, I was injured today, although I look almost fine, but there has been some faint pain. ”(*οΈΎβ–½οΈΎ)

"Trust you one last time, and besides, after taking a shower, don't show up in front of me while I'm blowing my hair!

"Got it, got it...... "o(〃'β–½'〃)o."

Elena blinked her eyes in a daze, and the little hair on top of her head dangled happily, and she was clearly in a pretty good mood.

"But my hair is natural, and you'll have to accept that sooner or laterβ€”ouch......"

Before Elena could finish speaking, her foot sank into one of the steps in the middle of the staircase again.

Hogwarts has many staircases that play tricks like this.

For most old students, jumping over this special step has become an instinct, but for Elena, who has already penetrated into her soul, all the stairs in the castle do not seem to make much difference, after all, they all move!

"Hermione, help me ......"

"Didn't I say you, can't you remember a little longer? ”

Looking at Elena's little hair that instantly became dejected and swaying helplessly in the pit, Hermione shook her head helplessly, forced a smile, grabbed Elena's arm and pulled her out.

At this moment, a suit of armor at the top of the staircase made a creaking and clattering sound, and he couldn't breathe with laughter.

"Shut up, you. ”

Elena raised an eyebrow and said in exasperation that she had punched the guy as they passed by the armor - no enhancement charms attached, of course, otherwise the armor might not have fallen to the ground but embedded directly into the wall.

After today's flying lesson, Elena had already figured out that when she had her own broomstick, she would no longer have to walk to school.

She only had to remember which floor each classroom was on, and she could ignore the complicated staircase distractions, walk through the hollow area in the middle of the castle, and fly straight to that floor - Hogwarts only ruled that broomsticks were not allowed in the hallways, and did not say that broomsticks could not be used up and down the stairs.

Of course, there is no need to think about these issues for the time being......

Elena followed Hermione through the portrait of the fat lady and into the warm and cozy Gryffindor House common room.

The circular common room was filled with tables and soft armchairs, and the fire was crackling and burning as usual, but strangely enough, perhaps by some kind of magic, it didn't feel particularly hot.

As Mrs. Hodge said, the seniors had not yet finished school, and only a small number of second-graders were playing chess or reading books in the lounge.

"Thankfully, I was able to take a shower this time. ”

The two made their way up the spiral staircase back to their dorm room at the top of the tower, and Hermione glanced at the empty common room, a happy look on her face, and muttered something quietly.

"Yes, yes...... We can wash for a long time without being disturbed. ”

Elena nodded, equally excited.

He eagerly took off his slimy robe, crumpled it with his dark gray pleated skirt and gray stockings, and threw it into the laundry basket next to the bed, where the castle's house-elves would take it away and wash it at night.

Now, after an afternoon of exercising, she just wants to enjoy herself......
