Chapter 49: The Quidditch Season Begins

As we enter November, the weather becomes very cold, the mountains around the school are gray, covered with snow and ice, and the lake is cold and hard like hardened steel, except that at this time, the Hogwarts Black Lagoon will be presented with a special winter acrobatic show.

When the sun rises to its highest point, there is a loud noise on the surface of the lake, and the tentacles thicker than a man's waist will break a piece of ice in the southwest, and the oversized squid that lives in the black lake will break the thick ice that freezes at night.

When Hagrid used fishing nets to deliver goods, this big squid would also use its tentacles to throw ice cubes to play acrobatics, hundreds of kilograms of ice cubes were thrown around in the sky by it, sometimes accidentally missed, Hagrid's head would wear a big hat made of ice, most of the time Hagrid didn't care much about this kind of trivial matter, except for a certain time when the squid brother missed, accidentally smashed Hagrid into the lake, so he saw that the black lake exploded a fountain wave dozens of meters high, after Hagrid crawled out of the lake with a scolding, that afternoon, The little wizards ate the charcoal-grilled squid whiskers made by the elves, which had a strong taste and were quite delicious.

During the winter months, the food at Hogwarts was a notch better than before, and the students who ate big fish and meat every day gained weight before they knew it, but soon, it was time to deplete the calorie reserves that had been accumulated at the moment, because the Quidditch season began.

After more than two months of training, Harry was about to make his Quidditch debut at Hogwarts, and captain Chris Sousa was particularly excited this year and more concerned about this year's Quidditch than he had ever been.

Slytherin aside, they have won the Quidditch Cup for seven consecutive years, although a large part of the credit comes from their unscrupulous and shameless behavior, it is a trivial matter to deliberately hit people with their physique on the court, and it is also their 'fine tradition' to play under the field, and this group of gorillas is also called special operations.

It's hard not to suspect that Gryffindor's former captain Charlie Weasley was able to achieve impressive results in the individual competition of the Triwizard Tournament, and some of this may really come from Slytherin's 'credit', after all, before the game, you have to start to be careful about whether a bunch of ill-intentioned strong men will suddenly pop up around the corner and chant evil spells at you, Charlie can calmly dodge the sneak attack of the Black Spine Dragon, and it is estimated that he has been hacked a lot, and his body has already had a conditioned reflex.

Gryffindor is the biggest opponent of Hufflepuff if you can't use the black tricks on the off game, as the hardest trained team of the four house teams, Gryffindor's players can be said to be completely impeccable in terms of technology, although the Gryffindor house named after the champion warriors is rich in thorns, but also rich in fearless spike soldiers, sharp offense is the sharp knife in their hands, except for the black hand of Slytherin, other teams are difficult to deal with their sharp offensive.

But don't be underestimated Ravenclaw, although they rank last of the four houses in terms of force, but don't forget that Ravenclaw is the house that brings together the most intelligent people in Hogwarts, in order to do well in Quidditch matches, in order to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, they have also set up a special think tank to serve the game, specializing in the weaknesses of each house to design tactics.

If it was Slytherin with the blackest hands, then it was definitely Ravenclaw with the dirtiest heart.

In previous years, the only house that had a chance to take out Slytherin and win the championship was them, if it weren't for the Slytherin gorilla who decided to kill the captain of the then Ravenclaw Quidditch team and the main scorer in the septic tank for the whole night, that game would have been won or lost.

As a house that has no presence in Hogwarts all year round, the Quidditch team of Hufflepuff has always been under a lot of pressure, although they usually act low-key and kind, but what teenager does not want to be cheered and followed by countless people on the Quidditch pitch?

The young man's heart should not be suppressed, and after so many years of silence, it is time for Hufflepuff to start the most majestic and shining era.

On the first Saturday after Halloween, at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the stands at the Quidditch pitch were already full, and the students were wearing Hogwarts winter uniforms and scarves in the colors of their houses.

In the preparation room below, the players in the yellow and black striped Quidditch uniforms were ready to go, and Cris, as the captain, looked at everyone seriously before entering the arena through the door of the lounge.

"I don't want to repeat what the past is, because it's sad history, and it's a shame that Hufflepuff hasn't touched a Quidditch trophy for eleven years."

"I don't want to fool myself with things like 'they've done their best,' it's a fact that we're not as good as others, and we were really weak before."

"Where are we weak? We are weak in the mediocrity of habits, and we are weak in the habit of not competing with others. ”

"It's supposed to be a virtue of humility, but it's on a Quidditch field! There is no virtue! There are only winners and losers! ”

Chris's yelling echoed in the players' preparation room, his expression tinged with a hint of hideousness, and he looked like an enmitated flat-headed guy who was already halfway to the battle.

"This year! This year is my first year as Captain Quidditch! It's also the first year that Hufflepuff has left the past behind to make new history! ”

"We have added new blood! Our team has been energized and swept away from the previous slump! ”

"Cedric Diggory! Our New Seeker! I can guarantee that he will be one of the best Seekers Hogwarts has ever seen! ”

The handsome boy who was pointed at by Chris scratched his head a little shyly, "Chris, you're too...."

"Now is not the time to be humble, Seid." With a wave of his hand, Chris interrupted Cedric's words, "You have this talent, and you have the hard work of others, you will definitely be able to shine in the arena, I believe in you, and I want you to believe in yourself!" ”

After meeting Chris's gaze, Seid nodded silently, "I'll do my best." ”

"Good."

Chris reached out to smooth out the folds on Seid's neckline, then looked to the side, a big smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"And the other surprise is that we have Harry!"

"Just like you told me last night, Harry."

Chris knew very well that Harry didn't need any encouragement from him, and he turned around handsomely, reaching out and pushing open the door that blocked the wind and snow.

"Kill them! It doesn't matter who the opponent is! ”
