Chapter 153: Good Hogwarts Roommates
Kyle stayed with Hagrid until noon before returning to the castle.
It's almost lunch time, so I can't go back if I don't go back.
Originally, Hagrid wanted to keep him here for dinner, but Kyle only hesitated for a second before decisively refusing.
For he saw with his own eyes Hagrid take two long strips of unidentified creatures from the outer shelf, and simply cut them a few times and threw them into the basin next to them, and then smeared a layer of yellow and green slimy things on them.
If he hadn't left, he would probably have spent the first weekend of the new school year in the school hospital.
Kyle walked decisively, deaf to Hagrid's retention, and walked briskly across the field back to the safety of the castle.
At this time, the auditorium on the first floor was already crowded, and the atmosphere was noticeably more lively than usual due to the Quidditch selection.
"If only I had flown low."
At the door, a Gryffindor student said in annoyance, "You don't know, the Golden Snitch flew a few feet below me, and I didn't even see it!" ”
"It's a pity...... his companion asked regretfully, "and can you still make it to the team?" ”
"It should be fine." "The people who competed with the Seekers didn't do very well, and many of them even fell off their broomsticks, and compared to them, I was already doing well," the man said. ”
"That's great!"
……
Kyle walks all the way and hears similar conversations everywhere.
And interestingly, at the Gryffindor table, everyone who participated in the selection was very confident, even those who fell off the broom and made themselves blue and purple still thought they would make it to the team.
By the time Kyle walked over to the Hufflepuff table, Cedric happened to come over.
"How's the tryout?" Kyle asked.
Cedric shook his head, he picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and poured two sips before saying, "There are a lot of people who have signed up, but most of them have failed, and some have not even passed the air steering test."
Oh yes, I also saw two of your roommates. ”
"Mikel and Ryan?"
"Yes."
Kyle wondered, "How are they doing?" ”
"Forehead ......"
Cedric's expression suddenly became a little strange, as if he was considering the language, and he was silent for a while before continuing: "I think ...... They may not be very well suited to Quidditch. ”
"Not really......" Kyle was surprised.
With the character of Cedric, a good old man, he would actually say things like "not suitable for Quidditch", which can only show that Mikel and Ryan are really bad.
But Kyle remembers that they did well in flying lessons, and although they weren't too impressive, at least they flew steadily.
"It's not that they were too nervous to fly well."
"It has nothing to do with this."
Cedric sighed and said, "The main thing is that they don't know the rules of Quidditch at all, the guy named Ryan went on a rampage as soon as he came on the field, and he didn't care about other people's positions at all, and he didn't look at people, and passed the ball to the opponent both times."
The other is even more outrageous!
…… Do you know? He actually took the Bludger as a Quaffle, and rushed towards the goal with it. ”
"Uh......" Kyle was a little speechless.
But in the end, it was his roommate, he smacked his lips and said, "At least he's quite energetic, which is also a plus." ”
"If only that were the case." Cedric sighed again,
"In fact, he didn't fly far before he could control the Bludger, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of the others, he would have been sent to the school hospital by now."
This time, Kyle really couldn't find any reason, and he didn't know if it was a delusion, but he noticed that Cedric's eyes suddenly became a little strange when he looked at him, and seemed to be a little sympathetic.
"It was just an accident." Kyle explained dryly, "Aside from Quidditch, they're pretty normal. ”
"If I'm not mistaken." Cedric said thoughtfully, "I guess one of them blew up the Charms classroom with a lighting charm last year. ”
"That's Mikel's constitution." Kyle said seriously, "He can't control the mana output, it's force majeure!" ”
"Okay." Cedric thought for a moment and continued, "Then what if they copy your homework and copy your name as well......"
"Forehead ......"
Before Kyle could speak, Cedric continued:
"Potions exam, ask Professor Snape to add water to the cauldron......"
“……”
"Dye yourself blue ......"
“……”
"Wait......" Kyle asked, stunned, "How do you know this?" ”
He remembered that it was class time when he brought Mikel back, so no one should have seen it.
"Outside the History of Magic classroom is the Pendulum Courtyard." Cedric said quietly, "I can see through the window just in time to see the entrance of the school hospital. ”
“……”
Kyle was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Cedric, you're going too far, it's not our Hufflepuff style to talk about people behind your backs." ”
Cedric looked at Kyle with a strange expression and didn't speak.
"Okay, forget it this time, don't take it as an example."
Kyle calmly picked up a piece of toast and said, "Let's talk about the situation of the other teams, have they changed this year?" ”
Cedric thought that Kyle's topic was a bit blunt, but he still followed his words: "Slytherin was cleared when they drafted their players, and all I know is that their new captain is Marcus Flint.
Gryffindor's side was still last year's team, and there were no bright newcomers, and Oliver Wood pulled his hair on the pitch all morning.
But Ravenclaw has produced a good Seeker, guess who......"
"It's autumn." Kyle said, "She said she wanted to be a Seeker last year. ”
"That's right, it's autumn." Cedric laughed, "Of all the people who participated in the Chaser selection, she was the fastest to catch the Golden Snitch.
The captain of Ravenclaw was overjoyed, and if it weren't for the fact that it was too early, he would probably have just agreed to make Cho the new Seeker. ”
"You don't know, Wood's eyes were red with envy at that time."
Cedric picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and said with a smile, "He went straight to ask Professor McGonagall if he could let the first year participate in the audition, and he was given a hard lesson." ”
"Hey, I think I heard someone mention our beloved captain."
"Is Wood so popular now?"
At this moment, Fred and George walked up from not far away, and they sat down next to Kyle on the left and right, and asked, "What were you talking about?" ”
"Quidditch player selection." Cedric didn't hide it, and asked with a smile, "Why, Professor McGonagall agreed to let you choose from the first year?" ”
