Chapter 464 Quidditch Selection

"Harry! Mike! What are you two doing? Let me go! I have to go back to write my paper!"

Hermione screamed and struggled.

However, it was all in vain. After a long period of training and the nutritional supplements given by Sirius, Harry's height had gradually surpassed Hermione, and Mike was even taller. With the support of these two big men, Hermione's feet were off the ground in an instant, and the so-called struggle was just a meaningless kick.

"Come on Hermione, forget about those damn papers. What you need now is to relax. Besides, today is the day when Ron will be participating in the Quidditch selection. You really should go and take a good look."

"Don't talk nonsense, Harry! I really have things to do!" Hermione kept begging, but Harry was unmoved. In desperation, Hermione turned her target to Mike and said, "Mike! Don't do such childish things like Harry, put me down!"

"I'm sorry," Mike raised his eyebrows at Hermione, "I stand on Harry's side this time, you really need to relax."

After that, Mike and Harry smiled at each other, and then continued to carry Hermione out of the castle.

Hermione, a girl, naturally couldn't be more stubborn than Harry and Mike, two boys, so after struggling for a while, she finally gave in and asked Harry and Mike to put her down and let her walk by herself.

There was no other way. The three of them were about to leave the castle. If those girls saw her being carried by two boys, rumors would definitely fly all over the place when she returned.

Mike and Harry naturally agreed to this request. They put Hermione down neatly and took the heavy pile of books from Hermione's hands with good intentions.

In this way, as long as the textbooks were still in their hands, even if Hermione ran away in the middle of the class, she would not be able to go back to do her homework!

Hermione was naturally aware of their little thoughts. She rolled her eyes but said nothing and continued to follow the two people towards the Quidditch field.

She was indeed too busy during this period. Even because of too little sleep, the acne on her face began to break out.

At this moment, she really missed the time twister!

When the three came to the Quidditch training ground, it was already crowded. Although this was only the selection of Gryffindor Quidditch players, except for those who were purely watching the excitement, almost all the school team members of the colleges came here.

They came to investigate the enemy situation, and Harry knew this very well.

He placed Mike and Hermione in the stands, and then changed into a set of Quidditch protective gear and went on the field.

On the field, dozens of players of different ages have been waiting for him.

Among them, there are only about five or six official Gryffindor players, which is easy to distinguish, because only their protective gear is well-fitting, and the Quidditch protective gear of other students is mostly tattered and crooked.

Although Mike himself is not interested in Quidditch, it can be seen from the number of candidates that Quidditch is really popular in Hogwarts.

Of course, Mike believes that many of them don’t like Quidditch that much. They just want to join the Gryffindor school team.

This is easy to understand.

You must know that in the United States and the United States, which have a relaxed education school with a club culture, members of sports clubs are always superior and the most popular. For

example, the school football and basketball players in the United States, the school football players in the United States, and the kendo club and baseball team members in Japan.

These people are always at the top of the class within the students. Maybe you can’t understand this.

Let me give you an example.

As long as you are a regular member of these sports clubs and you are not ugly, then congratulations, as long as you want, you will never lack a girlfriend.

This is the same in Hogwarts.

The regular members of the Quidditch school team are also the most popular people in their respective colleges.

Just like Qiu Zhang from Ravenclaw.

Do you think she is called the pearl of Ravenclaw purely because of her beautiful face full of exotic charm?

No, this is only part of the reason.

The most important thing is that she became the seeker of the Ravenclaw school team.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled and shook his head, and turned his attention back to Hermione beside him.

Their task today is to let Hermione relax, and he has not forgotten this.

But Hermione's condition does not look very good. She closes her legs tightly together, clasps her hands, and her body involuntarily moves away from Mike.

This is typical nervousness.

Mike decided not to remain silent any longer, he spoke:

"This is the first new player selection after Harry became the Quidditch captain, do you think he can recruit players that satisfy him?"

"Ah? Ah! Of course, Harry's standards are very low, he even wants to recruit Ron directly."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mike was talking to her, and spoke very quickly.

"Oh? Then Ron should be very happy, I remember he always wanted to join the school team, this time he finally got his wish."

"No, Ron rejected Harry's kindness, he decided to rely on himself."

"Huh?"

Mike raised his eyebrows in surprise. To be honest, Ron's move did surprise him a little, because Ron didn't seem like the kind of guy who was unwilling to take the back door.

Hermione was obviously also very interested in this topic. She talked to Mike about how Harry helped Ron train, and Mike listened quietly, smiling and agreeing from time to time.

He was not interested in these things, he was just chatting with Hermione.

But thanks to Ron, the atmosphere between Mike and Hermione gradually became heated, and Hermione began to smile.

At this time, the selection of new members for the Gryffindor school team began.

Harry divided all the test subjects into several groups and asked them to fly around the field on broomsticks in groups.

Mike had to admit that this was a brilliant idea, because not long after taking off, several students who looked very young fell off their brooms. Thanks to Harry and his friends who were watching below, they did not get seriously injured.

Mike couldn't help shaking his head. These people were obviously just there to join in the fun. Mike bet that they hadn't even taken a few flying lessons from Mrs. Hooch.

The situation of the groups behind was also very bad. In addition to those who came to join in the fun, there were even those who came to make trouble.

For example, the yellow bow ties on the necks of those who were leaving the field now had exposed their Hufflepuff identities.

There were many people who pretended to be Gryffindor students like them. Mike even saw Ravenclaw students among them.

He almost instinctively looked in the direction of the Ravenclaw stands, where a group of Ravenclaw players led by Franklin were looking at the audience with a smirk on their faces. It was self-evident who was the culprit of all this.

At the beginning of the selection, Harry remained restrained. He politely asked those who were not qualified to stand, but after encountering various weird things one after another, even a good-tempered person like Harry was completely enraged.

He yelled and cursed at the non-Gryffindor newcomers, so loud that even Mike could hear it.

But it was obvious that those people didn't take Harry seriously, and they left the court laughing.

"It's not easy to be a good Quidditch captain, isn't it?"

Hermione sighed.

"It's not easy, but it seems that Harry has done a pretty good job so far." Mike nodded and said, "At least his selection method is very correct. If he chooses a non-Gryffindor player to become a member of the school team in the end, it would be really embarrassing."

"Do you really think so? I mean Harry's selection method is good!"

Hermione's eyes lit up, and Mike nodded in confusion.

"That's my idea!"

Looking at Hermione's head tilted up as if she was going to praise me, Mike also smiled slightly and offered his praise without hesitation.

This made Hermione even happier. The two of them talked happily, watching Harry and others busy in the audience while laughing and cursing, without any embarrassment before.

At this moment, a scene on the field attracted the attention of the two.

A complaining boy with thick blond hair rode a flying broom and soared up from the ground, hovering over the stands, constantly greeting the audience.

When Mike got closer, he found that this was a very handsome boy with a fairly handsome face. At this moment, his face was filled with a bright smile, giving people a very sunny feeling.

This was the type that girls in school liked very much.

Mike made a judgment without hesitation.

The boy obviously knew this, so he was a little inflated.

He flew around the field and kept blowing kisses to the girls in the stands.

"Ladies! You will be the new goalkeeper of Gryffindor today. Can you give me your contact information after the game?"

This boy was really popular with the girls. His behavior and words won cheers from the girls in the stands. Some girls in the lower grades were so excited that they almost fainted.

Later, he even flew in front of Hermione to show off, but when he saw Mike sitting next to Hermione, his expression suddenly changed, and then he left the stands at a faster speed than when he came.

Mike snorted coldly at this, this boy is quite sensible.

"Heh! Cormac McLaggen, he is a seventh-year Gryffindor and a member of Professor Slughorn's Slug Club."

Hermione sneered and introduced Mike.

"Why?" Mike asked, "You don't like him?"

"Everyone who knows his true face doesn't like him!" Hermione pouted in disgust, "He relies on his handsomeness and money to deceive many girls. He is a famous playboy and scumbag in Hogwarts!"

Mike raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about this.

Hermione said with some concern:

"But he plays Quidditch very well, and this time he is also participating in the goalkeeper selection. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ron with him."

As she was talking, the selection of the Quidditch goalkeeper of the Gryffindor school team finally began.

Harry frowned and loudly ordered Cormac to return to his position. It can be seen that he did not have a good impression of this Cormac.

However, the other party obviously did not care. He stopped in front of the three circular door frames in a very chic manner, which caused a cheer from the girls in the stands.

Cormac shook his bangs proudly and hooked his finger at Harry and others below.

The regular players could not bear it anymore. They all flew into the air and came to the opposite side of Cormac. The Quaffle was constantly tossed up and down in their hands.

Suddenly, the regular players moved.

They quickly interspersed in the air, performing complex tactical movements, and the Quaffle was also quickly passed between them. The speed of passing was so fast that the Quaffle almost turned into a group of afterimages.

These regular players obviously showed their real skills, but this did not bother Cormac. His eyes were fixed on the Quaffle, and his hands wearing heavy gloves were raised, always alert.

Finally, with a loud shout, the Quaffle was hit hard by a boy.

But then Cormac in front of the goal frame moved and accurately held the Quaffle in his arms.

Unexpectedly, the stands cheered again.

And Mike nodded slightly, this Cormac still has some strength.

After some fan interaction, the Quaffle returned to the hands of the beaters again. The test of the goalkeeper is very simple. These beaters will shoot ten balls. The one who rejects the most shots will be the new official goalkeeper of Gryffindor.

And Cormac has already blocked a ball!

Hermione frowned tightly. If Cormac is allowed to continue, then Ron will basically not be able to enter the Gryffindor school team, because Ron's best result in training is only to reject five shots.

Thinking of this, Hermione quietly took out her wand.

The test on the field is still in full swing. In a short period of time, Cormac has blocked three Quaffles, but only one shot into the goal.

The other goalkeepers waiting off the field were all in despair, especially Ron. He lowered his head, with tears faintly flowing in his red eyes.

But the next moment, boos broke out from the stands.

Ron looked up suddenly and saw Cormier floating in the air with his mouth wide open and a dull look on his face, while the batsmen opposite him cheered.

For a moment, Ron was a little confused about what happened, but soon he understood why.

Because the next Quaffle came again.

Cormier seemed to be drunk, and he rushed in the opposite direction of the ball in a daze!

"Poof!"

The ball went in again!

Ron's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and at this moment, he felt that he was okay again!
