Chapter 422: The Ravenclaw Plan Fails
Until the end of class, Mikel couldn't find anyone who met the requirements, and he was always preoccupied for the next few days.
Kyle thinks that the "man with messy hair" that Professor Trelawney is talking about is most likely Harry.
She probably misremembered the order of the matches, and thought that Hufflepuff's next match would be against Gryffindor, which is why she said that.
And Harry's hair had always been messy, and he didn't bother to take the time to take care of it.
And this idea was also confirmed a few days later.
Fred tells Kyle that he was also named by Professor Trelawney.
"She called me by the wrong name and thought I was George." At the dinner table, Fred laughed breathlessly and said, "And said let me be careful of a handsome black-haired man, I dare say that person is either you or Cedric......"
"Oh, Fred." George let out an exaggerated exclamation, "I think we should stay away from Kyle, Professor Trelawney warned you." ”
"yes." Fred laughed and said, "He might turn into a fiery dragon and swallow us......"
"Or knock us off the broomsticks at the Quidditch pitch......"
"It's a pity that our game is over......"
"He wants to hit us, so we have to wait until next year......"
"Kyle, can you turn into a fire dragon?"
The two sang and talked in harmony, as if they thought it was a very funny joke.
Kyle was even more sure, and it seemed that Professor Trelawney had indeed mixed up the number of games.
It's not surprising, though, that Professor Trelawney doesn't seem to have been to a game since the Dementors appeared on the field...... At least Kyle hadn't seen her in the teacher's seat.
……
On the last weekend before Easter, the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw match began.
Ravenclaw seems to want to replicate Hufflepuff's tactics from the last game, shifting the core of the team from the seekers to the chasers, and using crazy scoring to close the gap.
But Oliver Wood also thought about this and had his players train in a targeted manner before the game.
And most importantly, Ravenclaw didn't have a good enough chaser to break through Wood's goal time and time again.
So, Ravenclaw was stunned.
As soon as the game began, their attacking rhythm was disrupted.
Angelina Johnson took the Quaffle thrown by Wood, lunged at a sharp arrow, and threw the ball into the Ravenclaw goal with a backhand.
Twenty minutes later, the score was 20:80.
There was silence in the Ravenclaw stands, and they had the illusion that they had returned to the gloomy days of two years ago.
At that time, their main focus was on participation, and there was little hope of winning.
After another twenty minutes, Gryffindor was already one hundred and fifty points ahead, and it was fair to say that unless Cho could catch the Golden Snitch immediately, Ravenclaw would have no hope of winning.
However, Harry eventually caught the Golden Snitch and won the game.
"You should be a little later, Harry, at least until we get more points......"
After the game, Wood frowned in the locker room and said: "Now we are only 200 points above Hufflepuff, which is too unsafe, they will probably overtake us in the last game." ”
"Hmm......" Harry scratched his hair, "but Cho had seen the Golden Snitch and almost caught it......"
"Then pester her, or chase the snitch away!" Wood blurted out, "It's about whether we can get the Quidditch Cup in the end, not when we're gentlemen......"
Harry didn't speak, that would make a bad impression on Cho, and he didn't want to do that...... Besides, it was too much to drag on until the end of the game until 40 minutes.
"It's okay, Oliver...... "Fred and George came over to play the round," Hufflepuff won't win that much. ”
"And the Slytherin team is ...... Well...... Not bad......" George said against his will, "maybe they can win the game." ”
"But we're only two hundred and fifty points ahead of Slytherin." Wood said.
"Then pray they'll catch the Golden Snitch in five minutes." Fred said, "The Slytherin Seeker is not very good, and when he sees the Golden Snitch, he will rush at it." ”
"That's right." George said, "When Malfoy moves, Cedric will have to follow, just like Harry just did." ”
"I hope so." Wood sighed and left the locker room with everyone.
It just so happened that the opposite Ravenclaw team also came out.
Wood tried to say hello, but the other man left the court as if he didn't see it.
Harry looked at Autumn, who didn't look back, and hesitated to find an opportunity to go up and apologize and ease the relationship.
But soon he forgot about the thought.
Because the Easter holidays are here.
Compared to the previous Christmas, the same two-week Easter holiday is not so happy.
Too much homework is frustrating.
"It's better not to take a holiday."
One afternoon, Mikel, who was doing his homework in the common room, suddenly threw away the quill in his hand and exclaimed, "Normally, when we are in class, we still have time to do what we like in the evening, but now we have to sit here every day, facing homework that can never be finished!" ”
These words instantly resonated with the people around them.
Susan Burns, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but complain: "It's still far from the exam, what are they doing!" ”
The common room soon erupted in a barrage of complaints, with everyone denouncing the professor for not giving so much homework.
"Kyle, are you done with your paper on the Conversion Charm?" Connor asked in a whisper, "How many articles does Professor McGonagall have laid out?" ”
"There are twelve Transfiguration treatises, and there seem to be three on the Transformation Charm." Kyle said.
"What is the specific topic......
"I've written a lot of homework these days, and I can't remember it clearly." Kyle pointed to the thick stack of parchment next to him, "But the first thing I wrote was the transformation homework, and I'm done, so you can find it yourself." ”
"Good ......"
Connor rummaged through a pile of parchment, and soon found the Transfiguration assignment at the bottom.
"Summarize the wrong actions that caused the conversion spell to fail?" She was surprised and said, "I always thought it was theoretical analysis." ”
Like Kyle said, they have so much homework to write that it's easy to get it wrong.
These days, you can hear someone wailing in the common room that they have made a mistake in their homework.
But then someone told them that they didn't care, they would make mistakes, and that they should match the number first, anyway, with so many assignments, the professor couldn't read them one by one.
That's what brought those who almost broke down back to normal.
