Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

The sixth player was Cormac McLaggen. Unexpectedly, he successfully saved the first three balls. Alicia, Richie and Demirza, the three chasers of the Gryffindor team were attacked by him. It was easily stopped, and Ginny and Elaine were left without attacking.

Although McLaggen is annoying, he has to admit that he is still very capable.

Regardless of those methods, his own strength is comparable to Ron's.

Judging by Ivan's unprofessional Quidditch level, McLaggen's skills may not be as good as Ron's when he was in his best state, but he is worse than Ron's performance most of the time, enough to be a goalkeeper. Strong opponent.

Ginny starts serving, and if he saves all the balls, the chances of Ron wanting to be goalie become slim.

"We should help Ron..." said Hermione, but then she shook her head. "No, we can't do that!"

"what are you planning to do?"

"I was suddenly thinking about whether to use the Confusion Charm on him, so that he can't tell the direction, so that he can't stop the ball." Hermione said, her face turned red, "But we can't do this, this method is very wrong. The brilliance will affect the fairness of the selection..."

At this time, Hermione actually thought of fairness first.

This is where decent wizards are weak. They pay too much attention to principles and rules, and always worry about whether their methods are upright.

However, based on Ivan's understanding of Hermione, if the situation is really critical, she is the one who can make the most determination.

In other words, if Ivan was replaced by Ron, Hermione might have used the confusion spell long ago.

"Don't worry, you don't need to directly interfere with the trials. I don't think he can pass Ginny and Elaine."

Sure enough, as Ai Wen said, the angle of the ball sent by Ginny is very tricky.

She tricked McLaggen into flying towards the left goal, tricking him into thinking she was going to shoot.But Ginny made a nice turn in the air, flew right as fast as he could, and threw the ball in, and the Quaffle flew in just past McLaggen's fingertips, and he gave Ginny a nasty look.

When it came to Elaine, McLaggen obviously became more cautious, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the Firebolt.

After a few circles, there was a gap in his defense, and Elaine easily threw the ball in.

"I protest!" said McLaggen viciously, flying straight towards Harry. "They both have great brooms."

"Being a good broom is part of Quidditch strength, and it's the same for everyone involved in the trials," said Harry, ignoring McLaggen's protests. "Okay, next!"

McLaggen gritted his teeth and stepped aside. Harry had a point, and it was fair to everyone.

If Ginny and Elaine maintain the difficulty just now, no one will stop their two balls.

Unless, that person's broom is as good and as fast as a Firebolt or an Asterisk...

And this person is Ron, and the broomstick in his hand is the Asterisker, the only one other than Ginny.

From this point of view, the situation is very favorable for him, and Ron is the No. 13 player.

The performances of those after McLaggen were extraordinary, and no one could stop three balls.

When Ron came on stage, Lavender was the one who yelled loudest in the stands.

The small area where Slytherins came to watch the trials spontaneously sang the song "Weasley is our king".

Because the rhythm was very good, soon, many students from other colleges sang along.

Singing and loud laughter drowned out the sound of cheering.

In the center of the arena, Harry wanted to silence the Slytherins, or throw them out, but he couldn't.

He was a little afraid to watch Ron's performance, afraid of seeing him miss all the balls.

But he felt that as the captain, he should show more courage, so he turned to look at Ron's candidacy.

In fact, there is no need to worry at all. Although Ron looked nervous, he played very well.

Amid the cheers, he saved one, two, three, four free throws in a row...

Now, only Elaine remained unserved, but Ron had already won the tryout over McLaggen!

Chapter 1310 Visiting Hagrid

Seeing that Ron had successfully blocked Ginny's ball, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so nervous just now, she kept holding Ivan's hand tightly.

Now, she wanted to take her hand out, but Ai Wen couldn't let it go.

Originally, watching the game should hold hands.

Otherwise, what does it look like sitting there with a book in hand?

Like Hermione, Harry was delighted to see Ron block the fourth ball.

He desperately restrained himself from cheering and cheering with the audience.

Although Elaine hadn't pitched yet, Harry turned to McLaggen, ready to tell him that it was unfortunate that Ron beat him.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, McLaggen's flushed face was right in front of him, so close at hand, Harry quickly stepped back a few steps.

"His sister isn't really serving the ball at all," said McLaggen viciously, a vein in his temple throbbing, a sight Harry had often seen and secretly marveled at in Uncle Vernon, "she gave him The ball is easy to save."

"Nonsense!" said Harry coldly. "That's the ball. He almost missed it."

As soon as his words fell, Elaine threw the ball into the goal. This guy didn't release water at all...

"Look, he didn't stop Elaine's serve, this trial is fair." Harry said immediately.

McLaggen took a step closer to Harry, who didn't flinch this time.

"In that case, let me try again, with his broom!"

"No!" said Harry. "I told you just now that a broom is good or bad is part of Quidditch's strength, and I can't ask Ron to give you his broom, and besides, you've tried it, and the broom is as good as it gets." It doesn't matter, you saved three, Ron saved four. Ron is the goalkeeper, he wins fair and square, you get the hell out of here now."

For a moment he thought McLaggen was going to punch him, but McLaggen just made an ugly face and thumped away, yelling something threatening into the air.

Harry was relieved; he could have invited McLaggen to be a substitute, as the others had done.

But because this guy was so annoying, he didn't say anything about the invitation in the end.

As Ivan said just now, Harry doesn't want such a guy in the team.

Because of the close distance, Ivan also witnessed this scene.

If he had to say, he would not sympathize with McLaggen, but he has always felt that Quidditch matches, especially Hogwarts Quidditch matches, are not important and unfair, because a top The broomstick provides much more help than the ordinary broom in the hands of the students.

This greatly disrupted the balance of the game, but it was within the scope allowed by the rules.

Unless the player is really talented, the quality of the broom does not determine the outcome of the game to a large extent.

Why Harry can always catch the Golden Snitch and never miss it? In addition to his really good skills, the world-class flying broom and Firebolt also played a vital role. When he used the Nimbus 2000 before There are always problems.

Therefore, Ivan has always said that Quidditch is regarded as a leisure sport.

It’s okay to play occasionally, join a team or something, let him go if he is not selected, and Ivan will not go...

Ron was very satisfied with the results of this selection, because Ginny insisted that she didn't let go.

Not to mention Elaine, this guy never thought of releasing water from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, Ron thought that he defeated McLaggen by virtue of his strength, and he was very proud. Considering that McLaggen was so annoying and what he said before the selection, this victory made Ron feel very special. It's more exhilarating than beating each other hard.

He looked at Harry and the Gryffindor team, giggled silly, and looked taller than usual!

By the time Ivan and Hermione came over from the stands to meet, Ron and Lavender were already getting tired of each other.

For Ron to be selected again, Lavender was also very happy, and directly rushed to hug Ron and kissed him...

These two guys are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and they can do embarrassing behaviors no matter what the occasion.

Just as everyone else looked away, Elaine was still staring curiously.

Ai Wen hurriedly covered her eyes, this kind of thing is nothing to look at...

Because Lavender said he wanted to celebrate Ron, so after Harry set the first team training time for the next Tuesday and announced the disbandment, he told them that he couldn't go to see Hagrid with them, and Lavender return to the castle.

Ron seemed a little helpless. He originally wanted to invite Lavender to go to Hagrid with them, but Lavender refused!

She didn't have much friendship with Hagrid, and she disliked him and his Care of Magical Creatures class.

It's really difficult to make appointments with everyone on the one hand, and to go back to have sex with my girlfriend on the other.

Ron hesitated for a while, and after others persuaded him and Lavender to go back, he struggled to choose the latter.

Ron asked Harry to say hello to Hagrid for him and explain the matter.

"We have one more thing to explain. I really don't know how to tell Hagrid." Hermione said dissatisfiedly, looking at Ron's back.

"Lavender doesn't want to go, and he can't help it." Harry could understand Ron's difficulties.

"Come on, he didn't want to go in the first place, and he kept urging us to give up the idea during the morning discussion..."

"Okay, we can talk about these words while walking, it's already past noon, aren't you hungry?" Ivan said directly.

Elaine asked him for food, and he was starving himself.

If you're going to Hagrid's place, hurry up and find something to eat at Hagrid's.

Hearing Ivan's reminder, Harry also felt very hungry.

He has been flying in the morning, and shouting to organize the selection, maintain order and so on, exhausting a lot of energy.

Alvin, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine walked towards Hagrid's cabin. At this time, a watery sun was desperately poking its head out of the clouds, and the drizzle that lasted for the whole morning finally stopped , the breeze is very comfortable on the body.

Because the trials have just ended, the topic is still on this.

They discussed McLaggen for a while, and Hermione simply repeated what she and Ivan had heard McLaggen say just now. Everyone thought he was annoying, and then the topic turned to Ginny and her last On the serve, everyone felt that Ginny might have let the water go!

But because none of the parties involved was here, the topic didn't last long.

Outside Hagrid's cabin, Buckbeak, the huge, gray hippogriff, was chained to the door.

As soon as it saw a few of them, it took the initiative to come over.

In the verdict that year, although this guy was declared innocent, the official from the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures asked Hagrid to strengthen the management of this Hippogriff and prevent it from doing any dangerous behavior. Buckbeak has been raised by Hagrid ever since.

Hagrid is also very happy to do this. It is usually placed in a small wood not far away, and occasionally it is brought to the cabin...

Chapter 1311 Depressed Hagrid

Aiwen and Buckbeak are very familiar, and he used to ride it to raid the acromant spider's lair.

Seeing Aiwen and the others, Buckbeak stretched out his big head and clicked his blade-like sharp mouth.

"Oh my God!" said Hermione nervously, "it's still kind of scary, isn't it?"

"It's a little bit, but don't be fooled by its appearance, it's actually very friendly." Ivan said, looking into the eyes of the hippogriff.

He bowed low to it without blinking, and in a few seconds Buckbeak stooped too.

Behind him, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine bowed to it.

This is a way to express friendship and say hello to the Hippogriff, even if the two parties are friends.

After bowing, Buckbeak seemed docile as they allowed his feathered head to be stroked gently.

"We just learned about hippogriffs a few days ago, and Buckbeak is the most popular among them, there are..." Elaine said.

"Hello!" A loud voice interrupted her.

Hagrid turned from the back of the hut, wearing a large printed apron and carrying a sack of potatoes.

His big hound Yaya followed at his feet, and with a low growl, Yaya rushed towards Ivan and the others.

"Don't mess with it! It'll bite off your fingers!" said Hagrid. "Oh, it's you guys!"

Fang jumped up and down at Hermione and Elaine, trying to lick their ears, tail wagging behind him.

Hagrid stopped, glanced at the four of them, then turned and strode into the cabin, closing the door heavily.

"Oh, my God!" said Hermione, looking terribly upset.

"It seems that he is still angry." Ivan said.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," said Harry grimly, walking to the cabin door and knocking hard.

"Hagrid! Open the door, we want to talk to you!"

There was no sound from inside, only Harry's knock on the door.

"If you don't open the door, we'll blow it open!" said Harry, drawing his wand.

"No, Harry, you can't..." Hermione wanted to stop him, but Yaya kept throwing herself on her, "Don't!"

I don't know if she is telling Harry not to blow the door, or telling Yaya not to lick her.
