"Hey!"

Roger said angrily, "Are you also fascinated by Lockhart's sparkling smirk?" ”

"Although the photo on the cover is silly, there is some knowledge in the book that is worth seeing." Scott gives an objective assessment.

Roger began to complain, "You know, I have a hunch that Lockhart's teaching skills may even be worse than Quirrell's, more of a star than a professor. Seriously, I really don't understand why Dumbledore always finds some weird guy to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts class. As a result, we almost had to study on our own to prepare for the exam. ”

He had apparently lost faith in Defence Against the Dark Arts class for the new school year.

Scott thought for a moment and guessed, "There should be almost no wizards who take the initiative to apply for this position, after all...... Historically, the curse on this course is supposed to be real, which has led many witches and wizards to avoid it. Oh, except for Snape. ”

After all, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts has changed professors every year for decades, and many professors who have served in this class have not ended well.

This fact is well-known in the British wizarding world.

"That's the only reason Lockhart became a professor."

Roger reluctantly accepted the answer.

"If it's Snape......"

He followed Scott's words and began to imagine again......

"If Snape succeeds in applying for the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professorship...... So the biggest possibility is that he will leave Hogwarts completely in a year? If you want me to say, why didn't Dumbledore simply agree to his request? ”

Roger had been sprayed with Snape's venom in his previous Potions classes, and now he was so excited just thinking about Snape leaving Hogwarts.

"That's obviously impossible."

Scott ruthlessly shattered his delusions.

"Dumbledore wouldn't make Snape a consumable for that position. Although Snape's teaching in Potions class was difficult to adapt to, he was a precious Potions Master. ”

"I know." Roger hung his head and said, "So I can only think about it." ”

The two of them chatted and ate all the food Scott had brought.

"So you're just here to help me consume food, Roger?"

Scott packed the garbage in a bag.

"Nope." Roger said, "I wanted to ask if you wanted to play for the Quidditch house team?" After all, you know, we've got another player graduating. ”

"No need. I hope you remember, I participated with you when I was in the second grade, and unfortunately I was not selected. ”

Scott casually set the garbage aside and rejected Roger's offer.

"But you're still interested in Quidditch, aren't you? And you're talented, remember, Scott, you pitched well in your sophomore year...... "He whispered, "but he didn't make the cut because he was a little bit worse at flying." ”

When it comes to Quidditch, Roger is as excited as most young wizards. He's really looking forward to playing with his friends.

"Listen, we're missing a chaser right now, I think you can try, and I think you'll succeed this time!"

Scott still shook his head, "I'm sorry, Roger, you know, I didn't have a chance to improve my ability to fly a broomstick after my first year of flying lessons. ”

He was well aware of his ability to fly, and that wasn't enough for him to compete in an exciting Quidditch match.

It is not surprising that Muggle-born wizards are indeed inferior to those who come from wizarding families in the art of flying.

Unless you have the ultimate flying talent of Harry Potter.

Young wizards from wizarding families began riding toy broomsticks from the time they could walk, and Muggle-born young wizards did not come into contact with them until they entered school at the age of 11, and had little opportunity to practice other than flying lessons in their first year.

As for Scott's talent for flying - it can only be said to be mediocre.

Although he was able to improve his skills with practice, he was not as interested in Quidditch as he was...... It's huge.

However, Roger did not seem to listen to him, and he still persuaded: "Are you going to devote all your time to studying as you did last school year?" Oh! That's too bad! You should realize that even if we are Ravenclaw, it doesn't mean that we don't need to have fun outside of studying......"

"Stop."

Scott held up his hand and asked Roger to stop his chatter.

"I know you want me to play with you, Roger." "But you're obviously blindly optimistic about your roommate's level." ”

Roger insisted, "I think you can do it, you're always so smart, Scott, and I didn't try to persuade Milton to Quidditch." ”

Milton Graves, their other roommate, is a sentimental literary boy whose greatest hobby is playing the cello.

"It's an honour to compare to Milton, I'm really good."

Scott smirked again.

You know, Milton got a D in his first-year flying lessons.

Scott received an A (Acceptable) rating.

Seeing Scott's resolute attitude, Roger could only say with some reluctance: "Okay, your own will is the most important." ”

After all...... If Scott's flight had not progressed as he himself had said, it was true that he would not have passed the selection.

Roger's intention in encouraging Scott to participate in the selection was to get Scott to join him as the team's chaser. Because he felt that Scott, as his best friend, would show him a tacit understanding with him in the game that he didn't have with others.

But his hopes seem to have been dashed.

"But I have to say, you're the most obsessed with learning, even in Ravenclaw, Scott." Roger let go of the topic of Quidditch and said with an exaggerated expression, "Especially in the last school year, you were so immersed in your wooden stones that you didn't even sit in the audience for a Quidditch match!" ”

Although Scott had a mediocre flying talent and was not selected for the Quidditch team in his second year, he also had his strengths.

Since entering the first grade, although his performance in most of the classes set by the school has not been top-notch, but only to the extent that he is neither outstanding nor bad, he has performed very well in the transformation class.

The course was taught by Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Head of Gryffindor House, a very strict professor for his students. But even she couldn't help but smile and praise Scott, praising him for his "superhuman talent" in the subject of Transfiguration.

And Scott felt that since he had this talent, he had to work hard to play to his strengths. Therefore, Scott has been studying and experimenting with Transfiguration related topics in his spare time.

The last academic year was a critical period for his research, and he was always racing against time to get good results, so he missed a lot of activities.

Roger's expression was as if Scott had done something unforgivable for not going to Quidditch.

"Oh, thanks for the reminder." Scott could only smile and say, "I think I'll have a lighter year in the new school year, at least I'll have time to watch your Quidditch matches." ”
