Chapter 154: Good roommates at Hogwarts
Chapter 154 Good Roommates at Hogwarts
Kyle stayed with Hagrid until noon before returning to the castle.
It’s almost lunch time, so I can’t go back.
Originally, Hagrid wanted to keep him here for dinner, but Kyle just hesitated for a second and decisively refused.
Because he saw with his own eyes that Hagrid took two long unknown creatures from the shelf outside, simply cut them a few times and threw them into the basin next to him, and then smeared a layer of yellow and green on them, Gooey stuff.
If he doesn't leave now, he will probably spend the first weekend of the new school year in the school hospital.
Kyle walked decisively, turning a deaf ear to Hagrid's attempts to stay, and quickly walked across the field and returned to the safety of the castle.
At this time, there are already many people in the auditorium on the first floor, and due to the influence of the Quidditch selection, the atmosphere here is obviously more lively than usual.
“I wish I could fly lower.”
At the door, a Gryffindor student said angrily: "You don't know, the Golden Snitch flew past a few feet below me, and I didn't even see it!"
"What a pity..." His companion asked regretfully: "Then can you still make the team?"
"It should be no problem." The man said: "The performance of those who competed for the Seeker position was not very good. Many of them even fell off their brooms. Compared with them, my performance is already very good."
"That's great!"
…
As Kyle walked along, he could hear similar conversations everywhere.
And what's interesting is that at the Gryffindor table, everyone who participated in the selection was very confident. Even those who fell off the broom and made themselves black and blue still thought that they could enter smoothly. team.
When Kyle walked to the Hufflepuff table, Cedric happened to come over.
“How was the tryout?” Kyle asked.
Cedric shook his head, he picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and took two gulps, and then said: "There are many people who signed up, but most of them are not qualified, and some people even failed the aerial steering test.
Oh, by the way, I also saw your two roommates. "
“Mikel and Ryan?”
"Yes."
Kyle asked curiously: "How are they doing?"
"Forehead…"
Cedric's expression suddenly became a little strange. He seemed to be considering his words. He was silent for a while before continuing: "I think... they may not be very suitable for playing Quidditch."
“That’s not the case...” Kyle was a little surprised.
With the character of a good old guy like Cedric, he would actually say something like "not suitable for playing Quidditch". This can only show that Mikel and Ryan's performance was really bad.
Kekel remembered that their performance in the flying lesson was pretty good. Although it was not amazing, at least they flew very steadily.
“Are they too nervous and didn’t fly well?”
“It has nothing to do with this.”
Cedric sighed and said: "The main reason is that they don't know the rules of Quidditch at all. The guy named Ryan ran rampant as soon as he came on the field, without caring about the position of others. Moreover, he didn't look at people. Twice All passed the ball to their opponents.
The other one is even more outrageous!
…Do you know? He actually mistook the Bludger for the Quaffle and rushed toward the goal with it in his arms. "
“Uh…” Kyle was speechless.
But after all, he was his roommate. He smacked his lips and said: "At least he is quite energetic, which can be considered an advantage." "It would be great if that were the case." Cedric sighed again,
“Actually, he couldn’t control the Bludger just after he flew very far. If the others hadn’t reacted quickly, 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 an illusion. He found that Cedric's eyes suddenly looked at him strangely, and he seemed to have a little sympathy.
"It was just an accident." Kyle explained dryly: "Apart from Quidditch, they are pretty normal."
“If I remember correctly,” Cedric said thoughtfully, “It must have been one of them who blew up the Charms classroom with a lighting spell last year.”
"That's a problem with Mikel's physical condition." Kyle said seriously: "He can't control the magic output. This is a force majeure!"
“Okay.” Cedric thought for a while and continued: “Then they copy the homework and include your name...”
"Forehead…"
Before Kyle could speak, Cedric continued:
"In the Potions exam, I asked Professor Snape to add water to the cauldron..."
…”
“Dye yourself blue…”
…”
"Wait a minute..." Kyle looked stunned and asked, "How do you know this?"
He remembered that it was during class time when he brought Mikel back, so no one should have seen him.
“Outside the History of Magic classroom is the Pendulum Courtyard.” Cedric said quietly, “You can just see the entrance to the campus hospital through the window.”
…”
After a moment of silence, Kyle said seriously: "Cedric, you've gone too far. It's not our Hufflepuff style to talk about others behind their backs."
Cedric looked at Kyle with a strange expression and said nothing.
“Okay, let’s forget it this time, it won’t happen next time.”
Kyle calmly picked up a piece of toast and said: "Tell me about the situation of other teams. Have they changed anything this year?"
Although Cedric felt that Kyle's topic was a bit abrupt, he still followed his words: "Slytherin cleared the field when they were selecting their players. I only know that their new captain is Marcus Flint.
The Gryffindor side is still the same team as last year, with no bright new players. Oliver Wood has been pulling his hair on the court all morning.
But Ravenclaw has an excellent Seeker, guess who it is..."
"It's Autumn," Kyle said. "She said she wanted to become a Seeker last year."
“That’s right, it’s Qiu.” Cedric smiled: “Of all the people who participated in the Chaser selection, she was the fastest to catch the Golden Snitch.
The captain of Ravenclaw was extremely happy. If it wasn't too early, he would probably directly agree to let Qiu become the new Seeker. "
“You don’t know that Wood’s eyes were red with envy at that time.”
Cedric picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and said with a smile: "He ran directly to ask Professor McGonagall if he could let the first years also participate in the selection, but he was severely punished."
“Hey, I thought I heard someone mention our beloved captain.”
“Is Wood so popular now?”
At this time, Fred and George came over from a short distance away. They sat next to Kyle on the left and right and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
“It’s about Quidditch player selection.” Cedric didn’t hide it, and asked with a smile: “Why, Professor McGonagall agreed to let you select players from the first grade?”
