Chapter 424: I’m training
After everyone finished writing their homework, which was several feet thick, the Easter vacation ended quietly.
This also means that the last Quidditch match of the year is about to begin, Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin. The winner of this match will also determine the championship.
In everyone’s memory, no game has ever come in such a gunpowder-filled atmosphere.
Everyone can feel that the relationship between the two colleges has become tense to the point of breaking out, but fortunately both sides are still restrained, and there have been no conflicts or fights yet.
Mainly, Hufflepuff is famous for its unity. Wherever they go, they are in a large group and they are never alone.
Especially Cedric, who is almost regarded as a protected animal. Whether he goes to class or goes to the auditorium to eat, he is always accompanied by at least five students in sixth grade or above.
Flint led people to ambush several times, but in the end they all returned without success.
The treatment of the rest of the team is similar. Although it is not as luxurious as Cedric, the advantage is that there are more people. A dozen or so people gathered together, even if they are not very senior, are still very intimidating.
The only exception is Kyle, who has only one person by his side...Connor.
However, no one from Slytherin dared to come up to cause trouble for Kyle. Sometimes they met in the corridor, and they had no intention of sneaking up and stumbling.
Those who come from pure-blood families basically know the relationship between Dean Snape and the surname Prince from their families, so naturally they will not find it unpleasant.
In addition, Kyle is not as easy to deal with as others.
Three special contribution awards to the school and a second-level Medal of the Order of Merlin are clearly displayed in the prize display room. If you really do it, you can't tell who will hit whom.
Hence, in this tense atmosphere, Kyle's life was particularly peaceful, no different from usual.
The day before the game.
Kyle and Connor went to herbal medicine class together.
As soon as they walked out of the castle gate, they saw Malfoy jumping out from behind the door holding a big stick.
Two legs were stretched out in front of him, as if trying to trip him up... They were Crabbe and Goyle, two of Malfoy's lackeys.
"Malfoy, what do you want to do!" Connor said angrily.
After seeing the person clearly, Malfoy's hand holding the stick stopped in mid-air, with a confused look on his face.
Why is it Kyle and Connor...Didn’t Montague say that the person who came was the batsman?
“Damn it, that **** lied to me!” Malfoy also understood that he had been tricked, and felt anxious.
Even now, Malfoy still remembers his experience on the Hogwarts Express three years ago. He didn't want to cause trouble to Kyle.
And that Prince... If she went to complain to Dean Snape, no matter what the reason, no matter who was right or wrong, he would be dead.
"I, I... am training..." Malfoy's mind turned around and he swung the stick twice out of thin air. "In addition to being a seeker, I found that I can also play the position of a batter. You see..."
As he spoke, he waved the stick twice more...don't tell me, it looked like that.
At this time, Crabbe and Goyle also silently retracted their outstretched legs, then turned their faces to the side, pretending to know nothing.
"Then you practice hard..." Kyle didn't say anything. When the road ahead was clear, he and Kangna left the castle and walked towards the greenhouse.
The three Malfoys also ran out of the hall... ready to settle the score with Montaigne.
But Kyle did not see this scene. He and Kangna arrived near the third greenhouse. Classes have not started yet, and everyone is waiting at the door.
About five minutes later, Professor Sprout finally came. She opened the door to the greenhouse and let all the students in.
But she stopped Kyle.
"How about it? Are you confident about tomorrow's game?" Professor Sprout asked nervously.
"Of course, Professor." Kyle said with a smile: "This year's Quidditch Cup must belong to Hufflepuff."
"I believe in you." Professor Sprout said, "We must win, okay?"
Kyle was a little surprised. If these words were said by Professor McGonagall, he would not be surprised at all. As a senior fan, the Quidditch Cup is even more important in her heart than the Academy Cup.
This is what Fred and George said. They said that Professor McGonagall would only show disappointment when she lost a game. Besides, even if Gryffindor was deducted a hundred points, her There won't be any change in expression.
But Professor Sprout... To be honest, Kyle always thought she only cared about her greenhouse.
But he was right.
Professor Sprout really had no interest in Quidditch before. It was not until Hufflepuff won two consecutive championships that she gradually started to go to the games.
Last year, after Hufflepuff won three consecutive championships from two consecutive championships, she watched more games.
The main reason is that the feeling is different.
She has been at Hogwarts for more than ten years. In the previous years, the two major events at Hogwarts, the Quidditch Cup and the Academy Cup, basically had no chance of being won by Hufflepuff, and they could only win occasionally. once.
But it’s different now. After Hufflepuff won three consecutive championships, Professor McGonagall had unconcealable envy in her eyes when talking to her.
This feeling is so new. I didn’t think it was anything before, but after experiencing it, I realized that it is indeed different. It seems that I feel more confident when I speak.
And the most important thing, she always felt that there were too few plant species in the greenhouse and more should be added, but she just had this idea before and was never embarrassed to mention it.
After all, the more rare and rare the plant, the more expensive it is. Some seeds can even be sold for hundreds of Galleons each. And the school greenhouse is used for teaching, so it is naturally impossible to buy just one.
The cost was too high, and she felt a little guilty every time she wanted to tell Professor McGonagall about it.
But now, she decided to go to Professor McGonagall to talk about the matter after Hufflepuff won four consecutive Quidditch championships.
Just like Snape... When Slytherin won the Academy Cup five times before, he applied for a large number of precious potion materials, and Dumbledore even agreed.
Since Snape can do it, there is no reason why she can't do it...not to mention that Hufflepuff also won three consecutive Academy Cups.
Today we are going to learn about fanged geranium, a dangerous plant with fangs. Although it is not as deadly as poisonous tentacles, its bite is not pleasant.
The wound will remain red, swollen and numb and will not heal until a week later.
“Everyone wear gloves.”
Professor Sprout reminded: "And you must pay attention to your surroundings later. These little things are in the teeth changing period and always want to bite something. Be careful not to be caught behind by their branches."
As she spoke, she reached out and patted off a twig near her shoulder.
