Chapter 863: Quidditch Selection

In fact, after finalizing Hogsmeade's plan, Hermione even put aside the house-elf advocacy plan for the time being. Although it has not been favored, those hats made by Hermione......

In fact, house-elves accept clothes, which is almost impossible, which means dismissal for them.

Van Lin had accompanied Hermione to the Hogwarts kitchen many times, but only Dobby happily accepted the new gift, and now Twilight completely regarded Hermione as his hostess, and when Hermione handed her the twilight hat, the elf almost collapsed.

It's hard to imagine that a house-elf can be fired twice in a row in a short period of time, which is simply a life-threatening thing for a house-elf.

"I'm going to have to change their minds. Hermione said slightly tiredly, then rested her head lightly on Van Lin's shoulder.

"Good. Van Lin said softly, putting one hand around Hermione.

For Hermione's wishes, Van Lin naturally supports, although this is almost a subversion for the current wizarding world, but this is not something that cannot be achieved.

Maybe Hermione's future work will be carried out in the Ministry of Magic, and if Hermione wants to, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to become the Minister of Magic in the future.

But for now, Van Lin still has to worry about the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the woman Umbridge.

The matter of the black quill has been resolved, but the lack of a chance to do so has disappointed Van Lin.

Since eating deflated in Professor McGonagall's class, Umbridge has also relented.

So far, Umbridge has done well enough at Hogwarts, and in less than a week, the school has been jumping.

For the Ministry of Magic, this was undoubtedly a success, but for a woman named Umbridge, it was definitely a big enough difference.

And Umbridge is now so preoccupied with evaluating the professors that he doesn't have the time to deal with Van Lin and Harry.

A week was enough time for her to get the general picture out, and to her disappointment, no professor had so far taken the initiative to turn to her or support her reforms, except for Filch, the castle keeper.

The entire Hogwarts faculty team was monolithic, all supporting Dumbledore, who seemed to be dismissive of her assessment and the majesty of the Ministry.

This led Umbridge to make up her mind to get rid of a professor as soon as possible, so that she could establish her prestige, which was not much different from what Van Lin thought, and Professor Trawney was a good candidate.

However, in Van Lin's opinion, Umbridge would prefer to get Professor McGonagall out, and so far, Umbridge's biggest obstacle should be Professor McGonagall.

And she has a new plan, Van Lin has learned from her letters, Lucius Malfoy and some pure-blood wizarding families have reached out to her earlier, they are interested in her status as a senior inquisitor, hoping that she can do something to get rid of Dumbledore as soon as possible......

At Hogwarts, there are always more people willing to believe in Dumbledore than in the wizarding world, and maybe Slytherin fits Umbridge's ideas well, but even in Slytherin, there are many people who are willing to believe Dumbledore, and more Slytherin is a play-watching attitude.

The return of the Dark Lord didn't have much of an impact on the Slytherins, or was Dumbledore lying?

It's even more indifferent to them.

Although she has no supporters in this castle, the strength behind her is not comparable to this magic school.

The pure-blood wizard family, the Ministry of Magic, these are her helps, and even the Death Eaters.

Umbridge's actions were very much in the interest of the Death Eaters, and isolating Dumbledore was something that the Death Eaters could only dream of.

The second day of the Quidditch Final Tryouts was a rare opportunity for everyone to relax.

However, the unfortunate Harry was still left in confinement, of course, this was not Umbridge's confinement, but Professor Snape's, during a Potions class, Harry was distracted and forgot to put the neutralizer, as a result, the entire cauldron exploded, and if it weren't for Van Lin being nearby, there is no doubt that everyone would have suffered.

The potion with saltpeter participation, the power of the explosion......

Harry had to buy a new cauldron, but Snape had no intention of letting him go, and on the morning of the weekend, during the tryouts, it was time for Harry to be locked up in the dungeon to process potions materials.

"Hopefully Harry is fast enough. Hermione said with a smile, her eyes narrowed into a slit and leaned against Van Lin's side.

"He's really unlucky, maybe Neville should have tied his memories to Harry's so that he can always remind Harry of what he's forgotten. ”

"Angelina seems to have given up completely, and it is impossible for her to expect Harry to make the selection, but ...... Ron," Hermione gave Ron a worried look.

Among all the people involved in the selection, the most nervous was probably Ron, his face was slightly pale, and he didn't know if it was frozen or what was going on.

The more onlookers and the louder the cheers, the more nervous he looked.

On the contrary, Ginny was not nervous at all, and her fiery red hair was gently flicked in the air, looking pleasant.

Fred and George gave Ginny enough training, and Ginny's flying skills were no worse than Harry three years ago, however, Ginny did not participate in the selection of the goalkeeper, she thought about it again, and still felt that the goalkeeper was not suitable for her at all, but Angelina adopted Van Lin's opinion and recruited Ginny as a substitute, there is no shortage of official members of the Gryffindor team, Ginny as a substitute, you can choose from several positions, for Ginny, it is not too difficult.

Speaking of which, Angelina's eagerness to select players is also for the future of the Gryffindor team, which is different from when Wood was there, and when she, Alia, Fred, and George graduate, all of a sudden, the Gryffindor team will have five main forces, which means that apart from Harry, the Gryffindor team has nothing to do, and the team will face reorganization.

Naturally, Van Lynn took over from Harry and made some suggestions for the team. The limitations of selection must be lifted, isn't Harry the first year to become a chaser?

So, this time the junior students will be the focus of the assessment, even if it doesn't matter if it's a little bit, these substitutes can usually train with the team, and if they can, they can also play games to gain experience.

At first, Angelina asked all the students who participated in the selection to fly around the field to see their basic skills.

Some people flew well, but some people obviously came to make up the numbers, and they fell into a ball halfway through the flight. Worst of all, there were quite a few Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students who were caught up by Angelina and angrily chased away.

Among them, Ron's performance was decent, at least he could sit firmly on the broomstick.

However, this does not mean anything, in fact, Van Lin flies well, and the fear of heights is overcome, but flying well does not mean that he can play Quidditch, not to mention that Ron is just decent.

The next step was the actual selection, Angelina had all the players on the pitch and gathered around the three high posts, still unhappy that Harry couldn't come to the selection, and she wanted to select a goalkeeper who would satisfy everyone. Moreover, Harry was the next captain of the Gryffindor pair, and it was almost intolerable for such an important tryout to be wasted on confinement.

Through the goalkeepers who were tested not long ago, Angelina, Alya, and Katie formed a triangle, each responsible for an area, and began to throw the ball into the goal, while Fred and George hit the Quaffle to interfere, simulating the scene of the game.

The first to take the field was a ...... It seems that he is a third- or second-year student, and his performance can be described as terrible, only one ball out of ten balls is knocked down, and he is hit by the Quaffle several times, and finally he is directly knocked off the broomstick, his nose is bleeding, if it were not for so many people around to take care of him, it is inevitable that this poor little wizard will break his leg.

This was followed by a young boy, who was the only first-year student to make it to the final selection. The boy looked weak, very thin, but he flew well, reacted quickly, and seemed to be at ease under the blows of Fred and George.

However, he doesn't seem to be a goalkeeper and is more suited to the pursuit of hands, and whenever the ball passes, his first instinct is to dodge, and the goalkeeper needs to block the ball.

Overcoming conditioning was not an easy task, and by the end of the year boys had only two balls.

That's pretty remarkable, and all but these two balls didn't make contact with his body.

There is no doubt that a qualified chaser, Angelina is happy to include him in the team.

Similar to him is a third-grade girl, Phoester Eigol, her reaction is also very fast, her movements are agile, but she always dare not use her body to pounce on the ball, Angelina also recruited her as a substitute.

There's also a sturdy guy who has a fight with the stupid big Slytherin guys.

He's knocked down nine out of ten balls, and he's hit twice by a Quaffle, and it's like nothing happened, which is a great result, if only he hadn't been complaining about the weather, the field, the broomsticks, and all the other trivial things that affected his performance. Angelina was annoyed enough by him, and finally reluctantly left him behind.

However, this guy actually said that he didn't want to be a substitute, and he didn't want to waste time.

He wanted to join the team as a full-fledged player, which undoubtedly challenged Angelina's patience too much, and he was driven away by an angry Angelina.

The next few students did not have any bright spots.

The best performance of the whole show was Vicky Frobischer, Colin's roommate, who flew just fine. The old-fashioned comet almost burst out with the speed of a light wheel under his control, and to the cheers of the crowd, he perfectly dodged all the Quaffles and blocked all ten pitches.

It's been a flawless performance, and even Wood wouldn't be any better than him here.

There's no doubt that this is Ron's biggest rival, and in fact, so is the guy from before, and if it weren't for some problems with his brain, this tryout would have ended up on the wiki.

Angelina was very happy to announce the goalkeeper, but unexpectedly, the matter was also yellow.

However, I don't know if the Gryffindor students were poisoned or what, anyway, everyone has no more and no less, and there is a little bit of death.

Through Colin's brief understanding of the wiki, he has too many social activities, he has the names of all the girls in the school, he knows almost all of them, he dates every day, he has different girls, and he has to introduce girlfriends to other people in the dormitory......

For such a loyal man to be nostalgic for flowers, if time clashed, he would certainly put Quidditch on the back burner and would not budge at all.

This is something that Angelina simply can't accept, what is the use of a player who can't participate in the team's training, no matter how good the performance is?

It's a team game, and it's hard to say, what tactics don't matter?

This is almost unacceptable.

In addition, Colin also told Van Lin that Wiki wanted to find out about Hermione through Ginny......

This is completely unacceptable. However, this is also due to the change of the girl, and the amazing last semester brought enough deep impression to everyone.

In fact, so did his sister Winnie Frobische. She is a short-haired third-year girl, very cute, and her flying skills are also very perfect, but her mind is not on Quidditch at all, but on all kinds of messy social activities.

There is no doubt that this is definitely due to her brother's words and deeds.

Hearing Colin tell that although Winnie is not looking for a boyfriend, it seems that there is not a lot of resource reserves, and many boys are very willing, but in her aspect, opening the screen and courtship are completely different concepts.

Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but there's no doubt that Winnie and her brother Vicky are in Angelina's pass.

And compared to the wiki and other candidates. Ron's performance was much worse.

He was so nervous that Van Lin felt the panic from Ron below. He only hit six out of ten balls, which was a passing grade, but Ron didn't get hit by the Quaffle, but Van Lin wasn't sure if it was because of Fred and George's mercy.

This result made Angelina hesitate for a long time before announcing that Ron would be the team's goalkeeper.

In Angelina's words, Ron's performance wasn't the best, but after some training, there should be no problem.

Especially since he is also Fred and George's younger brother and Harry's best friend, this is also something that has to be considered......

If it weren't for the first few deaths, there is no doubt that for Ron, the Gryffindor goalkeeper position would have been impossible. And for Angelina, the meaning of these words, the meaning of self-comfort, is very obvious.
