160. The lion king scorns
Three minutes passed quickly, and Ravenclaw was no longer a threat to Gryffindor who had regained his confidence. Although Bradley used a timeout to change his strategy, he was unable to catch up with Gryffindor as before, and finally lost the second game by 50 points. Contrary to this, the Gryffindor crowd cheered, and Ravenclaw became dejected.
"Yours is yours." The excited Wood did not forget the hero this time and patted McGoth on the shoulder. The twins smirked and ran behind him, and the two of them lifted him up.
"Hey, what are you doing?" McGoss, who was unprepared, was startled, but it was obviously impossible for them to let him down, and the other team members, including Lee Jordan and others, also ran over when they saw the twins' actions.
Hermione looked at McGoth up and down in the air, and was very glad that she was a girl, otherwise she might not have been able to run away from this treatment. When they put McGoth down, he visibly felt a little soft on his feet.
Before they could digest their joy, the captain of the Ravenclaw team walked in. Wood greeted him.
"Do you want another one?" They wouldn't have won the game if he hadn't agreed to it, so Wood had a good attitude.
Bradley shook his head with a wry smile, "This idea of a pause is so useful to you, I'm not sure I'll win if I compare it, can you tell me who came up with this idea?" ”
In response to his inquiry, Wood still subconsciously wanted to hide McGoss, but he just won the game and it was too petty, "It's a sophomore in our academy, McGoss. Will. ”
"McGoss. Will? Isn't it the little wizard who talked to the Sorting Hat for a long time at the sorting ceremony last year? Bradley asked subconsciously. Wood smiled proudly and nodded.
"Can I say a word to him?"
"Of course." As he spoke, he called out to the surrounding McGoss.
After listening to Wood's introduction, he politely greeted Bradley, "Hello, Senior Bradley." ”
"Hello, Magos." The senior's gaze at him was a little complicated, and it was not so easy for anyone to let go of this kind of thing, you must know that if he didn't intervene, they would have been able to win the double kill, not the embarrassing situation now.
"May you ask how you came up with the idea of pausing attention?"
"Because I grew up in a world of ordinary people." McGoth rightfully returned.
"Muggle families?" Bradley didn't understand what this had to do with Muggles.
McGoth smiled, "Senior, in fact, the rules of this tournament, including the timeout, are all Muggle ball games that I borrowed from. ”
Bradley suddenly realized, no wonder, he was born into a pure-blood family for the first time curious about the Muggle world. Do Muggles also have games like Quidditch? After getting the answer, he left satisfied.
"Wood, will there be any friendlies next?" Watching Bradley leave McGoss, he turned to Wood and asked.
"Of course. Didn't Hufflepuff say that we were going to win against each other, and now we and Ravenclaw have won, and it looks like they're going to play against us and Ravenclaw respectively. Wood sneered, apparently unhappy with Hufflepuff's hubris.
"I just had a new idea, do you want to listen to it?"
"Yes, of course." Wood didn't dare to doubt him as much as he had before, he didn't think McGoth was a Gryffindor at all, but a combination of Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but since he was sorted into Gryffindor, he didn't care what he looked like.
"That's what I think, you see a lot of famous Quidditch teams have their own names, such as Ethiopia's Kimby Giant Slayers, Japan's Toyohashi Tengu, Australia's Sandra Thunder God, Germany's Heidelberg Hounds, France's Quiberon Wrangler Flyers, and now the most popular Bulgarian Vratsa Eagles and Ireland's Kenmare Kestrels, etc. Can we also change the name of the team like them? ”
Wood looked at him for a moment before saying, "Do you know how many years the name Gryffindor has been used, Professor McGonagall will not agree?" ”
"You misunderstood me, I said that the name change does not mean to cancel the Gryffindor team, but like those teams, it is equivalent to a nickname."
Wood got it, but it wasn't really up to him, even if it was a nickname for the team.
"I'll need to talk to Professor McGonagall, but you'd better not get your hopes up." If someone else had suggested this, he would have told him to get out, but this was McGoss, who had just helped them win the game, and even if he didn't like it anymore, he still had to try.
"I know, I'll start by talking about the benefits of having a team name, and you can tell Professor McGonagall about it then."
Wood nodded and called his teammates over. "McGoth wants us to add a nickname to Gryffindor, and I think Professor McGonagall agrees with it or not, and everybody listens to him."
The noise that was still some noisy disappeared all of a sudden, and they looked at McGoth with some puzzlement, nicknamed the team name? What's the use of that, isn't the Gryffindor team very good.
McGoth didn't care about other people's opinions, and he took it upon himself to talk about the benefits of having a prestige team, which can be a huge plus to morale and passion. Everyone was intrigued by him.
"Tell me what name you have in mind, it's really as useful as you say?" Surprisingly, the first thing to interest was not the Quidditch guys, but Lee Jordan, who had served as a referee.
McGoth had prepared for the name and spoke confidently. "The symbol and spirit of Gryffindor is the lion, and other houses and ourselves often call ourselves teachers' colleges, in that case, we should take the lion as our name, how about the pride of the lion."
Wood wasn't in the mood, but he thought the name was good, but before he could speak, the girls in the group and Hermione were dissatisfied.
"Why should you call a male lion and not a female lion? Are you looking down on us? Gryffindor's female chaser, Alia Spinnett, looked at Magos unconvinced.
McGoth was stunned, how could this also pull out the meaning of discrimination against women. Originally, the twins and others were still very satisfied with the name, but seeing the unconvinced look of the female teammates in the team, they swallowed the praise they were about to say.
"This, I'm just a suggestion and a name. If you are not satisfied, you can change it. "McGoth is very quick to instigate, anyway, I don't know if Professor McGonagall will agree to change the name, you can call it whatever you like, even if it's the roar of the Hedong lion.
The girls were satisfied, but they chatted and discussed for a long time, but there was no result, and barely a few were not as good as his.
"Okay, this is just a proposal now, if it's not something that everyone is satisfied with, forget it." Wood spoke, and the girls didn't discuss it, but they didn't think about it before, but now after McGoth said this, they really wanted to think of a majestic name, and Professor McGonagall didn't agree, they just called it in private.
George and Fred were particularly intrigued now, and George watched the girls stop before speaking. "Since it can't be called a lion, how about being called a lion king, the pride of the lion king."
The girls originally wanted to refute that the lion king is not a lion, but after thinking about it again, this doesn't admit that it is inferior to men, who said that the lioness can't become the lion king, so they are very satisfied with the title of lion king.
"Since McGoth said that the name should be imposing, can we change it from pride to contempt." Ron also popped up to make a suggestion.
"The Lion King despises!" Wood had a smile on his face, it was a good name, and it reflected the strength of their Gryffindor.
"Wouldn't it be too arrogant?" Harry whispered in the middle of the crowd.
"What I want is arrogance." Wood laughed, thinking he should get Professor McGonagall's permission.
"If you can use contempt, why not contempt, isn't it even more crazy." Hermione said simply, blinking wide-eyed.
Wood's laughter was stuck, and he coughed violently, not only him, but all Gryffindors, including Magos, were stunned, and involuntarily said the four words of the lion king's contempt.
The name was settled without a hint of hesitation, and Wood walked into Professor McGonagall's office almost red-eyed, threatening to die if you didn't agree.
Professor McGonagall didn't give an answer, though, meaning that the professor had reprimanded him at the time, but didn't tell him if he could or couldn't use it. Wood tacitly acquiesced to Professor McGonagall's consent, and after the name was decided, he gave a gag order not to say it before the game, in case other schools also learned from them and changed their imposing names, everyone thought so, and praised Wood's sanity.
