Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Sacrifice is the origin of etiquette and civilization, and it is also the most primitive belief of mankind.

From a long time ago, both the East and the West have invariably made sacrifices to those incomprehensible natural phenomena or natural objects in order to obtain blessings, shelter and peace of mind.

Although it is no longer the chaotic ancient times, there is still a certain logic behind it. For example, after successfully "sacrifice" all the Gryffindor Quidditch players, Hogwarts Castle and the rest of the divisions student, finally spent the second weekend after the start of school safely.

No matter what happened next, at least these days, except for the brief fright on the field, Dumbledore still felt a rare sense of tranquility every time he saw the white-haired ball on the Quidditch field. Finally, he found someone who could watch this little boy. The devil's method.

One thing that must be admitted is that as a sport flying in the sky, Quidditch is indeed a fascinating and magical thing.

You must know that any team competitive sport that can last for hundreds of years has its own unique charm and wisdom.

After the first day of training, Oliver Wood, known as the "Quidditch Madman", immediately created a "ultimate four-guarantee-one" system tailored for Elena.

The Weasley twins were like two pieces of candy, following Elena closely. No matter how much Elena ran around, they ensured that no bludger could get close to Elena and get within one meter of her body. scope.

Coupled with Goyle and Crabbe who fly in the outer circle from time to time to protect the freshmen, it is as difficult for Elena to catch the Bludger as it is to catch the Golden Snitch.

In fact, the Golden Snitch was not released during the training match. As long as Elena breaks through the defense, grabs the Bludger and smashes it to the ground, she will win.

However, even so, the new Quidditch team, which has Elena who can be called the aerial predator, still cannot achieve a winning rate of more than [-]% when facing the Gryffindor team where everyone is serious. .

After Elena was restricted, the physical and experience disadvantages of the first-year students were still too obvious, whether it was Ron, Crabbe, and Goyle on the defensive end, or Harry and Della on the offensive end. Coe and Hannah, after all, it is still a difficult task to keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of the official players.

It is not uncommon for the score difference between the two teams to exceed 150 points to end the game. It is not uncommon for offensive mistakes, lost passes, defensive failures, and stiff flight trajectories to occur.

After actually arriving on the court, Elena finally felt clearly that ball games in flight were much more difficult than ball games on the ground, and it was easy to overwhelm her strength.

Therefore, after a weekend of devil training and gradually understanding some of the rules and gameplay of Quidditch, Elena finally put away some of her previous pride and arrogance and seriously worked with other first-year students. , like a sponge, absorbing experience and knowledge from the regular Gryffindor players.

Of course, the result of this is

"This is really difficult."

On Monday morning, George Weasley complained to Wood opposite with a piece of bread in his mouth and a bitter look on his face.

"Even in a professional Quidditch match, no batter needs to face Bludgers all the time. If this continues, we may not be able to guard against Elena in less than a week."

"It's not just Elena, the talents of those little guys are really terrifying."

Fred Weasley sighed, moved his arms, and began to spread potato jam on his slice of bread.

"Did you see the alley-oop between Harry and Draco yesterday? The flight path was like a death-defying one, and it just missed hitting the goal post."

He finally realized the slogan that Wood had been emphasizing, fight with your life, and play every game well with a mortal consciousness. He witnessed Elena grabbing the Bludger with her bare hands several times at close range, and the ball on the ground. Climbing into the small craters that looked like they had been bombarded by a meteor shower, both the Weasley brothers began to doubt whether they knew how to play Quidditch.

"If you think about it from another perspective, this is actually good news."

Oliver Wood shrugged, peeled a potato casually, dipped it in the coarse salt dish on the table, and said calmly. Compared to the exaggerated expressions of the Weasley brothers, as a captain, he was much calmer.

"At least when we face the freshmen Quidditch team, we still have certain tactical preparations for confrontation, and the winning rate can be at least [-]-[-]. If we switch to other three colleges, we will be lucky if we don't reduce the number of players after a game. .As long as we can beat the freshman team in the round robin, this may be our best chance of winning the championship in recent years.”

Hogwarts' Quidditch College Cup adopts a round-robin points system. Starting from the second month of the new school year, each team will play against other teams twice, and then the top two teams with total points will compete for the final round. finals.

"Come on, you've been saying this for three years, and every year is the most promising year."

Angelina Johnson rolled her eyes and said feebly, "And compared to the competition, I think everyone is more concerned about what to do with three meals a day in the next few months."

“What’s wrong with having three meals a day?”

Wood frowned and pointed to the golden plate still full of food on the table, "Lettuce, bread, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and eggs are all the food components our bodies need."

"Of course breakfast is fine, but didn't you look at the lunch and dinner menus in the kitchen in the middle of the dining table?"

Angelina Johnson raised her spoon and pointed to a piece of parchment lying not far in front of Wood's seat.

"Baked potatoes, potato lettuce soup, potato goulash, bacon mashed potatoes, toast, boiled lettuce. This is lunch. And dinner is just an extra potato pie and fried potato chips, and Li Jordan almost lost his head just now Nick asked and this will be the regular menu for the rest of the week.”

As time goes by, with the magical help of professors and senior students, the first batch of plants planted in the vegetable gardens of the four colleges have matured and been harvested. Naturally, the school's three meals a day supply has also entered the stage of personalized serving. time period.

Since entering the school auditorium this morning, Gryffindor House, which had planted potatoes all at once in order to save trouble, first felt the fear of being dominated by potatoes. If the imagination is not intuitive enough, then the menu is neatly arranged in rows. The shock brought by the name of Potato XX's dish is enough to make students anticipate despair in advance.

"Ahem, Hufflepuff House is originally a gourmet school. It can't be compared to normal."

Hearing everyone's discussions and complaints, Percy Weasley, as the prefect, looked a little embarrassed. Although the decision to plant all potatoes was not his alone, everyone still unconsciously pointed the finger when they complained. Point to him.

Percy coughed slightly, took the initiative to join the conversation, and said seriously.

"But compared to those Slytherins, our situation is much better, isn't it?"

"Slytherin"

Hearing Percy's voice, a strange look appeared on the faces of everyone at the table. They subconsciously turned their heads and looked towards the other end of the auditorium.

For the first time in history, the students of Gryffindor House, their old enemy, felt such a trace of pity for their old rival and a strong curiosity that almost overflowed from their hearts.

"Speaking of which, what they planted wasn't shit, right?"

Gu~There is only one chapter today.
