Chapter 423: I'm Training
After everyone had finished their homework a few feet thick, the Easter holiday was quietly over.
It also means that the final Quidditch match of the year is about to begin, and the winner of Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin will determine the winner.
In everyone's memory, there is no game that came in such an atmosphere full of gunpowder.
Everyone could feel that the relationship between the two academies had become tense to the point of breaking out, but fortunately, both sides were quite restrained, and there were no clashes and brawls for the time being.
Major Hufflepuffs are notoriously united, with a large group of people everywhere they go, never left alone.
Cedric, in particular, is almost considered a protected animal, and whether he is in class or going to the auditorium to eat, he will be accompanied by at least five students from the sixth grade and above.
Flint led several ambushes, but in the end they all came back in vain.
The treatment of the rest of the team is similar, although it is not as luxurious as Cedric, but it is better than a large number of people, more than a dozen people together, even if the grade is not large, it is still very deterrent.
The only exception is Kyle, who has only one person by his side...... Connor.
But none of the Slytherin people dared to come up to trouble Kyle, and sometimes they were occasionally encountered in the hallway, and they didn't mean to sneak up on the stumbling block.
Those who came from pure-blood families basically knew the relationship between Dean Snape and the surname Prince from their families, so naturally they would not come to find it unhappy.
Also, Kyle isn't as easy to deal with as the others.
Three special contribution awards to the school, and a second-class medal of the Merlin Sir Regiment are clearly placed in the prize showroom.
So, in this tense atmosphere, Kyle's life is very peaceful, and there is no difference between normal and usual.
The day before the game.
Kyle and Connor go to an herbal medicine class together.
As soon as they stepped out of the castle gates, Malfoy burst out from behind the gate with a large stick.
Two legs crossed in front of him, as if trying to trip him...... It was Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy's two henchmen.
"Malfoy, what do you want to do!" Connor said angrily.
After seeing the comer, Malfoy's hand holding the stick stopped in mid-air, looking confused.
How is Kyle and Connor...... Didn't Montay say that the person who came was the batsman?
"Damn, that bastard lied to me!" Malfoy also knew that he had been cheated, and his heart was angry.
Malfoy still remembers the Hogwarts Express three years ago, and he doesn't want to trouble Kyle.
And that Prince...... If she went to Dean Snape to complain, for whatever reason, no matter who was right or wrong, he would be dead.
"I, I...... What about training...... Malfoy swung his bat twice out of thin air, "In addition to being a Seeker, I found that I could also play the batsman's position, you see......"
As he spoke, he swung his stick twice...... Needless to say, it's kind of like that.
At this time, Crabbe and Goyle silently withdrew their outstretched legs, and then twisted their faces to the side, pretending not to know anything.
"Then you can practice well...... Kyle didn't say anything, and when the road ahead was clear, he and Connor left the castle and walked in the direction of the greenhouse.
The three Malfoys also galloped out of the foyer...... Prepare to settle accounts with Monty.
Kyle doesn't see this, though, and he and Connor make their way to the vicinity of Greenhouse 3.
At this time, the class had not yet started, and everyone was waiting at the door.
After about five minutes, Professor Sprout finally arrived, and she opened the door to the greenhouse and let all the students in.
However, she stops Kyle.
"How's it going, are you confident in tomorrow's game?" Professor Sprout asked, a little nervous.
"Of course, Professor." Kyle laughs and says, "This year's Quidditch Cup must belong to Hufflepuff." ”
"I believe in you." Professor Sprout said, "You have to win, okay?" ”
Kyle was a little surprised, and if Professor McGonagall had said these words, he wouldn't have been surprised at all, as a veteran fan, the Quidditch Cup was even more important to her than the House Cup.
This was what Fred and George said, and they said that Professor McGonagall would only look disappointed when she lost the game, and other than that, even if Gryffindor was deducted a hundred points, her expression would not change in any way.
But Professor Sprout ...... Seriously, Kyle always thought she only cared about her own greenhouse.
But he was right.
Professor Sprout had little interest in Quidditch until Hufflepuff won two consecutive championships and she began to watch the game.
And by last year, when Hufflepuff went from two in a row to a triple, she watched more games.
The main thing is that it feels different.
She had been at Hogwarts for more than a decade, and in the years before that, the two major Hogwarts events, the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup, had basically been nothing to do with Hufflepuff, and only won once in a while.
But now it's different, after Hufflepuff three consecutive championships, Professor McGonagall spoke to her with unconcealed envy in her eyes.
This feeling is so fresh, I didn't think there was anything before, but after experiencing it, I realized that it was really different, and it seemed that I had a lot of confidence when I spoke.
And most importantly, she has always felt that there are too few plant species in the greenhouse, and she should add more, but she just had this idea before, and she has never been embarrassed to mention it.
After all, the more precious and rare the plant, the more expensive it is, and even some seeds can be sold for hundreds of Galleons each, and the school greenhouse is used for teaching, so it is naturally impossible to buy only one.
It was too expensive, and she felt a little weak every time she tried to talk to Professor McGonagall about it.
But now, she's decided to wait for Hufflepuff to win four consecutive Quidditch titles before going to Professor McGonagall about it.
Just like Snape...... When Slytherin had won the House Cup five times before, he had requested a large number of prized potions materials, and Dumbledore had agreed.
If Snape can, it doesn't make sense she can't...... Not to mention that Hufflepuff also won three consecutive copies of the Academy Cup.
Today I will learn about the poisonous fanged geranium, a dangerous plant with fangs, although not as deadly as the poisonous tentacles, but it is not pleasant to be bitten.
The wound will continue to be red, swollen and numb until a week later.
"Everybody's wearing gloves."
Professor Sprout reminded, "And be sure to keep an eye on your surroundings later, these little things are all in the teething period, always want to bite something, be careful not to get caught up in their branches." ”
As she spoke, she reached out and patted off a thin branch near her shoulder.
