The next night, to celebrate Cedric's discharge from hospital, the Hufflepuff players threw him a small party in the common room after training.

Cedric was fine, which was undoubtedly good news for the team. Captain Harris even got some butterbeer from Hogsmeade village and drank it with everyone else.

Mainly because he wanted to drink.

As the captain of the team, Harris was under a lot of pressure. Especially after the first round of games, he was so worried that his hair was falling out.

The opponent is too strong.

Gryffindor's players are of the highest quality, with almost no shortcomings.

Slytherins are well-equipped, but lack martial ethics.

There are seven Ravenclaws...

For Hufflepuff, Cedric, the talented Seeker, is almost their only hope of winning the championship.

Harris picked up his butterbeer, clinked his glass with Cedric and said, “Don’t worry, this will never happen again.

I plan to assign a batsman to protect your safety. The next time the Slytherins dare to attack you, the thick bat will hit them in the face first. "

Cedric frowned, not quite agreeing with his approach.

There are only two Beaters, and if one of them protects him, then the Chaser's offensive advantage will be gone. If the opponent is ahead by a large margin at that time, it will be useless even if he catches the Golden Snitch.

No matter how you think about it, it's not worth it.

Cedric told Harris his idea.

"Don't worry about that." Harris thought for a moment and said, "This is just a preliminary plan. We can gradually improve it during the training matches."

Cedric tried to persuade Harris to give up the idea several times, but to little avail.

No matter how convincing his reasons were, they would be blocked by Harris with a sentence, "Let's talk about it after the training game is over."

After realizing that he couldn't change his mind, Cedric stopped talking.

Let’s talk about it after the training match is over.

Kyle also participated in the banquet, but since he was not a member of the team, there was no need for him to think too much and he could just concentrate on eating.

He wanted to taste the butterbeer, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by a senior student.

The reason is that wizards under the fifth grade are not allowed to drink alcohol.

This made Kyle feel a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do, because not only him, but even the protagonist of the party, Cedric, drank pumpkin juice.

After the party, everyone went back to their dormitories.

The next few days were normal.

Kyle, like other little wizards, attended classes, ate, and went to the library to do homework, as if nothing had happened.

Even Fred and George from Gryffindor behaved a lot more normally, with only ten points deducted after a few days.

This made Professor McGonagall very happy, and her attitude towards them was no longer as harsh as before.

This continued until mid-November, when the second Quidditch match began.

It was a weekend, and in the morning, a piece of gossip suddenly spread throughout Hogwarts.

"Did you hear? The Gryffindor team has a new broom."

In the hall, a Slytherin freshman was telling others the news he had just heard.

"New broom?" Slytherin team captain, seventh-year student Severn Rosier's face turned gloomy when he heard the news.

However, this was not the end. The man continued, "I also heard that it was not an ordinary broom, but the Nimbus 2000 that has not yet been released."

"Nimbus 2000?!"

Someone was surprised and said, "That's impossible. My uncle is in the Department of Sports and Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic. Even he can't get a Nimbus 2000. How can those Gryffindors get one?"

At this time, someone else joined in and said, "I heard that Bill Weasley got it from Egypt. It seems that he helped the Nimbus Company a lot."

"Damn you Weasley."

Someone pounded the table angrily. "What about the afternoon game? The performance of the Nimbus 2000 must be much better than the Nimbus 1700 we are using."

The Slytherin student who had spoken before stood up and said, "I'm going to write to my uncle and see if he can get me a Nimbus 2000."

"Is it too late?"

"It should be possible."

Next to them, after hearing these words, the members of the Slytherin team all had gloomy faces and couldn't eat their meals.

Rozier overturned the plate in front of him and said angrily, "Damn it, why did it have to be at this time?"

Slytherin and Gryffindor are old rivals, and he could not accept losing to that group of guys in the competition.

"Don't panic. The truth of the news is still uncertain." Someone calmly analyzed: "The Nimbus 2000 is not a toy. How can it be given away just like that? And this news came too suddenly. It is very likely that it was deliberately fabricated to confuse us..."

“Oh~~~~”

At this moment, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the auditorium.

"Look! What is that?"

As if deliberately going against him, he had just finished speaking when six long-eared owls flew in with a long and thin package and landed on the Gryffindor dining table.

Judging from its appearance, it can be basically confirmed that it is a flying broom.

Because it was wrapped tightly, they could clearly see that the tail of the broom was longer than that of the Nimbus 1700, and its shape was different from those models on the market.

The two Weasley twins were holding packages and talking excitedly to others.

Although I couldn't hear what they said due to the distance, I could be sure that the group of people seemed very excited.

Especially the Quidditch players, they would look over here from time to time, and their eyes were very strange.

Rozier felt like they were mocking him, which made him a little unbearable. Just when he was about to overturn the plate to vent his anger, he found that there was nothing on the table in front of him.

So he overturned a new plate next to him.

"Everyone go get the information," Rozier said through gritted teeth, "No matter what method we use, we must find out whether that thing is the Nimbus 2000."

"What if that's the case?" someone asked.

"Then write a letter home and try to get some!" Rozier roared, "What are you still standing there for? Go!"

The Slytherin players dispersed, and when the other little snakes saw this, they also left the hall.

Rozier was very angry at the time, and they didn't want to stay and offend him.
