Chapter 822: I Kind of Know Why There Are So Few Wizards? (800 commuter pass plus change)
Snape's tragedy can be summed up in a simple sentence: the poor nerd who only knows how to read has been robbed of his girlfriend by the noble and golden football quarterback, so it is better to beat him in what the opponent does best, so as to crush James's pride.
"Maybe I can try!" Shen Long leaned back in his chair and replied lazily, even though he had never played a game of Quidditch, he felt that it would be a joke if he could not play a few children with his ability.
In terms of flight, what speed did he fly on a somersault cloud? And what speed are those kids riding on broomsticks? As for the ability to find the Golden Snitch, those children can only see with their eyes, and he can also capture with his own sense of qi, as long as he is on the field, how can other children play?
"You've practiced Quidditch before?" Lucius asked, "We Slytherins haven't won a Quidditch title in years, and if you can get us the trophy back, you'll be the hero of the entire house!" However, first-year freshmen are not eligible to join the team. ”
"No, but when it comes to flying, I'm sure I won't lose to anyone in this world." Shen Long replied confidently, "And this regulation is because I am worried that first-year freshmen are not skilled enough in flying skills and are prone to injury, right?" As long as my flying skills are good, it's definitely fine. ”
Since Harry Potter can join the team in the first year, why can't I, is it because he is the main character?
"When you're done with your flying lessons, I'll take you to the team to try it out, by the way, what kind of broom do you use?" Lucius Malfoy continued.
"A thousand light wheels." The Optical Wheel Broomstick Company was founded in 1967 and launched the Optical Wheel 100 in the same year, thinking about the fact that it was not until 1991, when Harry Potter was enrolled, that they launched the Optical Wheel 2000, did it take so long for them to complete the product upgrade? If that's the case, it's a miracle that the wizarding world hasn't died!
However, from an economic point of view, this is not an impossible thing, the wizarding world has such a small population, and even fewer people can use competition brooms, and it will take a long time for any new product to recover its R&D costs, and it is no wonder that they are so slow, after all, the economic foundation is here.
"Wow, can you show us? I've always wanted it, but my family is reluctant to buy it for me! "This is a new product that has only been launched for more than three years...... Well, let's not complain about this..... in the wizarding world, this is indeed a new product, and at the beginning of the Harry Potter plot, it is almost the same level as the fire crossbow arrow, but not every child has the money to buy it.
"Very good broom, now I have more confidence in your strength!" Lucius Malfoy was once again amazed by Shen Long's strong economic strength.
After chatting for a while, when it was almost time to go to bed, Shen Long took Avery and Muri Saibo back to the bedroom, and they were still thinking about the light wheel thousand, "Severus, can I borrow your broom and try to fly for a while?" ”
"No problem, as long as you do well in flying lessons and make sure that you don't have an accident on the barewheela thousand, I'll play for you." Shen Long said generously that he was already planning to accept these two children as his junior brother, and he would naturally be a little better to the younger brother, of course, he would have to be disciplined by himself when he became his own junior brother.
In the original book, the two of them seem to have done something to anger Lily, things like this are absolutely not allowed to happen, and Shen Long is not just going to send things.
At the beginning of the next day, Shen Long met many familiar teachers, such as Professor McGonagall, who taught Transfiguration, such as Horace-Slughorn, the current head of the Slytherin House and Potions teacher, and Shen Long paid special attention to the latter because of his deep attainment in magic.
It was he who taught Tom Riddle how to make Horcruxes and his deep knowledge, and if it weren't for Slughorn, maybe there would be no Voldemort in the future.
It's not hard to get on good terms with him, Slughorn is a bit like a certain type of teacher that Shen Long hated when he was a student, as a teacher, he turned a blind eye to mediocre students and couldn't even remember names (such as Ron Weasley); But on the other hand, he always noticed and found students with outstanding talents to join his circle and gave them special treatment.
Shen Long will undoubtedly be the best student in this class, and he is a descendant of Slytherin House, and it is not easy for Slughorn not to notice him.
This guy is hedonistic and vain, he likes to associate with celebrities, successful people, important people, and he enjoys the feeling of influencing these people, he especially likes material comforts, and he likes oak-aged mead, pineapple compote and velvet smoking shirts, as long as he masters these, coupled with Shen Long's experience, he believes that he will soon become his favorite student.
In the first Potions class, Shen Long won the praise of Slughorn, Shen Long had already studied in advance, he now mastered more magic than most senior students, he has a good talent in potions, coupled with the teaching of Erin Prince, who was born in a Potions family, Shen Long's performance is perfect.
Shen Long's performance won extra points for Slytherin, and the first class brought benefits to the house, and the children who were in Slytherin with him applauded one after another, and Avery and Murray Cyber were the most excited, and kept blowing Shen Long to the classmates around them, and they were now more and more like little brothers.
Not only Shen Long, but even Lily has shown some talent in this area, and has also won Slughorn's praise and extra points for Gryffindor, which makes Lily very happy, and regards these as Shen Long's credits, because Shen Long has been helping her with her homework before entering the school.
On the other hand, James, Sirius and the others don't know if they really don't have this talent, or because Slughorn is the head of Slytherin House, and they don't like to listen to his classes very much, so they make a mess of their crucibles, and they are scolded by Slughorn several times, and Gryffindor is also deducted a few points.
Seeing this scene, Lily was a little unhappy, because the extra points she had just earned for Gryffindor were buried by Jaime and Sirius and others, and no matter who it was, they would not be happy to see their efforts turned useless by others.
At the end of class, Shen Long comforted Lily, which made her mood better, Lily felt that compared to the mature and steady Shen Long, Jaime and them were too boring.
In the afternoon, the flying lesson began, Shen Long glanced at the broom on the ground, and muttered secretly in his heart, I now know why there are so few wizards.
