Chapter 47: The Physical and Mental Health Problems of Young Wizards (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Defence Against the Dark Arts class was a lot of fun, but it wasn't that much interest.
The fact that a freshman accidentally injured a professor may cause quite a stir in another class.
For example, the Charms class on the first day of school is still talked about by people to this day.
But if it's Defence Against the Dark Arts...... It's almost funny.
Let's put it this way, their previous professor was a very hidden dark wizard, and then he was discovered by someone and was taken away by the Aurors while he was in class.
The former professor was a potions enthusiast who liked to study some strange potion recipes, and one day in class, he showed his latest achievement to the students, the all-knowing potion, which he said was comparable to the elixir of fortune, and a sip could solve all problems.
And then...... There is no then.
He took a sip on the spot to prove the potion work, and was still lying in St. Mungo.
By comparison, Professor Oren's little thing was not even a talking point.
And just like that, the first weekend at Hogwarts came quietly.
Kyle slept until almost nine o'clock, and finally Cedric came and knocked on the door to wake him up.
"Call me something so early."
After washing, Kyle threw himself on the couch in the common room and stretched comfortably.
"It's still early? It's almost time for lunch! Cedric gave Kyle a wordless look and handed him a pie he had just brought from the kitchen.
Potatoes and beef are filled, and onions are added, which tastes quite good.
While Kyle was eating the pie, Cedric continued, "The Quidditch auditions start today, I'm going to go over and try it out later, what about you, do you want to go together." Together, the two of us can definitely make it to this year's Quidditch Cup. ”
"I'll forget it." Kyle shook his head and said, "The little wizard in the first year is not allowed to enter the school team, that's the rule. ”
Since yesterday's flying lesson, Kyle has given up on the idea of joining the Quidditch team.
Because Diana strictly forbade him to buy a broom when he was in first grade, he would only be able to use the ...... provided by the school if he joined the team now It's an antique, which Kyle can't accept.
Those brooms are so old that they don't even have a lot of the must-have features. For example, the most important one is the lifting charm engraved on the broom handle.
This feature has been around since 1930, when the Quidditch World Cup final lasted for seven days. After that, the two teams that participated in the final combined, a total of 11 players retired for the same reason.
So since then, the lifting charm has become an essential function of the broom.
And those brooms in the school, apparently, existed before 1930.
It's okay to ride and play with that kind of old antique once in a while, but over time, it may affect the physical and mental health of young wizards.
Kyle couldn't accept it anyway, as for Cedric......
Kyle patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "If you're selected, I'd suggest you save up for a new broom." ”
Cedric nodded, "It's true that the school's broom is too slow, but if I do make it, my dad will give me a sweep of the seven stars." ”
"That's fine." Kyle nodded.
Although the Sweep Seven Stars is a model from ten years ago, there are a lot of configurations that should be there, and it is enough for the school team.
"Oh, one more thing." Cedric took out two maps and said, "I've got the maps of Gryffindor and Slytherin, what do we do next, shall we promote them ourselves?" Or continue to find someone to work with. ”
"Let's find someone to work with." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Our own propaganda is too time-consuming, and it's inefficient and inappropriate. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too." Cedric nodded and said, "Gryffindor, we can get the Weasley brothers, they should agree to help." But what about Slytherin, do you know anyone? ”
Kyle shook his head.
Coincidentally, among the four Hogwarts houses, the one he is least familiar with is Slytherin, and the main thing is that he really doesn't have much to do with each other.
"That's troublesome." Cedric sighed and said, "I don't know either. ”
After earning the first pot of gold in his life, Cedric was at his most interested, obviously not wanting to give up the largest market in Slytherin.
For this reason, he also deliberately changed the Slytherin map slightly, using the best parchment, not to mention, he also deliberately added a circle of gold edges.
The styling is completely in line with their taste.
Of course, the price will definitely be slightly raised. You get what you pay for, that's normal.
The only problem now is how to sell these maps, and if it is up to the two of them to Hufflepuff, few people on the Slytherin side will buy it.
And once this matter is known to Snape, it will also be a problem, with his character, there is a high probability that he will directly confiscate the map, and then deduct 20 Hufflepuff points.
If you think about it, you still have to find a middleman.
The two discussed it for a while, but there was still no good solution.
Cedric wanted to ask the Weasley brothers if they knew anyone in Slytherin.
Kyle doesn't think it's very likely, but there's nothing better to do now, so he'll have to try it first.
By almost ten o'clock, the two of them had left the Hufflepuff common room together.
Cedric is going to the Quidditch pitch to participate in the varsity team tryout, while Kyle is returning his books to the library.
The Thou Troubadour in the Wind had finished reading it last night, and he was going to borrow another one.
Because of the disappointment, the two separated near the auditorium.
Kyle smiled and said, "Good luck with your selection to the Quidditch varsity team." ”
"Don't worry!" Cedric confidently held out a thumbs up: "It's definitely fine." ”
After that, the two separated.
……
In the library, Mrs. Pince took the book from Kyle, checked it, and made sure it was okay before handing him another book that Kyle was borrowing:
"The old rules, you know."
"Of course, it's not allowed to destroy books." Kyle laughed, "I know. ”
"That's good."
After getting the book he wanted, Kyle didn't go straight back to his dorm room, but just found a place in the library to read it.
"Amazing Plants of Asia"
It's a book about herbs, and Kyle flips through the pages as he searches, quickly finding what he really needs.
"ZG Brussels sprouts, an extremely dangerous and aggressive plant, were first discovered in ......"
Kyle pulls out the parchment he had prepared, rubs it all out with a copy charm, and leaves the library.
However, he did not return the book directly, but planned to take it back and read it, and then he said, maybe Professor Sprout will introduce some new varieties next time.
When the time comes, I will have to borrow again, how troublesome it is.
