Lida soon forgot about all these things, because she had more important things to deal with first—height!Yes, she was too short now, a problem she had paid special attention to since the last time she was carried to the auditorium by the twins.

Then she realized that she was even wearing her old second-year robe now because she didn't need to change it for her size.Her height is only 4.8 feet, and her roommate Angelina is already 5.5 feet. Katie is slightly shorter than Angelina, but also 5.2 feet. 4.8 feet is too short for Lida.

Angelina comforted her: "Don't worry, Lida, you can go to the Quidditch Seeker selection, and Seekers just need a small man."

Lida sighed, not feeling comforted, she said, "But I want to be a Chaser!"

Angelina: "..." She expressed powerlessness.

They didn't have much time to worry, because they were about to be late for Potions class. Angelina took her and ran quickly with the captain in the corridor. The time to wake up is getting later and later.

Under the cover of the twins, Lida and Angelina sneaked into the Potions classroom through the back door. As soon as they sat down on their front feet, Snape quickly stepped into the teacher on their back feet.

He glared at Lida and Angelina, but didn't speak.This glance happened to be seen by Angelina, who sat stiffly on her seat.But Snape ignored them and went straight to class.Angelina was shocked that the old bat didn't deduct Gryffindor points for this!

Lida didn't feel much, the advantage of Snape's coming to be her stepfather was that he would never make excuses to deduct her points for no reason.But she wasn't happy either, because the way she and Snape got along had always been ignoring each other.She had forgotten why she didn't want Beverly and Snape to marry, but she still didn't like him, as if they had a natural dislike for each other.

After class, Angelina took Lida to catch up with the twins.Fred looked at Lida, who was slightly out of breath, and subconsciously slowed down. He smiled and said, "Have you decided to participate in the Quidditch trials? Seeker?"

Lida quickly followed them: "No, I want to be a Chaser!"

George said, "Then you may not be big enough."

Lida snorted arrogantly, "Just wait and see, I will be elected as the Chaser!"

Fred and George looked at each other and shrugged.

Oliver Wood had been waiting for a while when they got to the pitch, and today a Chaser was to be selected, which was not an easy task and depended on luck.But Wood has decided that to build the best Gryffindor Quidditch team, he must win the Quidditch Cup this year.

Lida held her own broom and stood on the court with the children participating in the Quidditch selection. She saw Wood's eyes look at them one by one, and when she passed her, she shook her head slightly and did not pay her too much attention.She was a little unconvinced, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to prove herself with her strength.

Wood divided them into two groups and played.Lida was lucky enough to be paired with Angelina, who is an excellent Chaser.

Lida took to the air on her own broomstick, following Wood's starting whistle.Lida rushed over to snatch the Quaffle swiftly and nimbly, and turned around with a beautiful tail flick, throwing off another group of Chasers following her.Before they could react, they passed the ball to Angelina.

Angelina took the ball from her and didn't rush to the goal post. Wood told her that the rookies must show their strength.Lida looked at her, and almost immediately understood what she meant, and she flew nimbly past Angelina to catch the ball she threw.Katie—who had been assigned to another group—was flanked by another unknown boy, squeezing Lida between them.

Lida had a headache. This seemed to be a common trick of Slytherin, but it was used by Wood to select a new Chaser.Lida lay down on her stomach, and the broom dropped rapidly, almost touching the ground. Before Katie and the boy could react, she reversed abruptly, flew in the opposite direction, and threw the ball accurately. goal post.

Now that Wood wanted her to show, she stopped trying to pass the Quaffle and instead deftly circled player after player and lobbed the ball into the goalposts.Her flying angle is tricky and her skills are flexible. She often scores goals before the backup goalkeeper has reacted.

When surrounded by opposing Chasers, Lida will choose to fly around the trail of the Bludger, so that the Bludger and the hitter can help her break a clear path, and then throw the ball into the goal.Her skills are indeed very good, and few newcomers to the election can catch up with her.It only took a while for Lida to use a beautiful sweep to end the selection with a score of 100 to 30.

Lida hugged the Quaffle, and she glanced proudly in Wood's direction.Fred and George cheered happily, calling Lida's name.Wood, too, was delighted to have found another good Chaser.

Lida successfully joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and she happily wrote to Beverly.Beverly was happy for her, and gave her a Comet 290, and told her a little secret.

Lida looked at Beverly's own letter in shock, so surprised that she didn't have time to open the broom.She turned to look at Harry Potter who was eating and chatting with Ron, and screamed in her heart: Merlin!I am the sister of the savior!

She hesitated for a while, then walked towards Harry. "Hello, Harry Potter." Lida gave a friendly smile.But Harry looked a little nervous, "You... hello..." He still remembered what the twins said to scare Ron in the car, and he was a little scared of this powerful and beautiful witch.

Lida doesn't know so, does she look scary?She held out her hand: "emmmmm...my name is Lida Goldstein." Harry stood up in a panic and shook hands with her: "What can you do?"

Lida handed Harry the photo that came with the letter and said, "I seem to be your sister."

Harry: "!!!"

Fred asked Lida what it was like to be the savior's sister, and Lida looked at him blankly, feeling nothing.George patted her on the shoulder sympathetically, and told her that it was because she became the savior's sister not long ago, and the trouble hadn't come to her.Then they told her one by one what happened to Harry these days.

Including Snape making things difficult for Harry in Potions class, Harry became Wood's secret weapon.

Lida's eyes widened and she yelled, "What?"

Fred quickly covered her mouth, the warm touch made Lida's heart beat a few beats faster.George said, "Keep your voice down! People don't know yet!"

Seeing her calm down, Fred put his hand down and said, "Wood is going to make Slytherin suffer a lot. You can see Harry when we go to training later!"

"He had his first group practice today," George said.

Fred said: "Wood taught him privately before." His expression was a little excited, and he said with certainty: "I feel that we will definitely win the Quidditch Cup this year!"

George's expression was exactly the same as his: "Our team will definitely shine!"

Lida couldn't tell what she was feeling, she was a little jealous, but also a little proud.Harry was the first yearly Seeker in a century, and her brother at that.

In the afternoon, Gryffindor Quidditch gathered at the stadium for secret training.Harry was visibly startled to see Lida standing between the twins in her team uniform.Lida smiled at him as a greeting.

Wood stood in front of everyone and began to lecture: "Our team has added two new members, Harry Potter and Lida Goldstein. I think you have heard of it!" Lida, the twins slapped the loudest, accompanied by a few strange screams.

Wood raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and he said: "Goldstein, you have very good skills, and you can directly participate in tactical drills. I want you to strengthen the tacit understanding between Johnson and Bell. I noticed that you let The batter opens the way for you, that's a good tactic, maybe you need to strengthen your rapport with Fred and George." Lida nodded and gave the twins a high-five.

Wood said to Harry again: "You are a genius, Harry. What you lack is only experience. Strengthening training and participating in more competitions can make up for your shortcomings." Harry seemed a little embarrassed by his high evaluation. , he nodded shyly.

"Okay, everyone, let's start training! We must win the Quidditch Cup this year!"

Since joining the Quidditch team, Lida felt that she was eating more and more, but instead of gaining weight, she became stronger and stronger.Every day before going to bed, Lida takes the trouble to measure her height in front of the mirror.

And she is really up to the mark, and by the time of Halloween, she had grown to 5 feet.Therefore, during the Halloween dinner, Lida let go of her belly and ate.

Just as she and Fred were grabbing a piece of lamb chops, Professor Quirrell suddenly rushed in, and he told Dumbledore with a look of horror that there was a troll in the underground classroom.

The crowd was in a panic, but Lida clearly saw the twins' eyes light up.She quickly pulled Fred's robe and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do? Take me!"

Fred lowered his head slightly, and said, "We're going to see the troll!" Lida looked at Fred, then at George, who also looked eager to try.She was a little excited and a little nervous, and said, "Let's go together!"

When the three of them were about to leave the team quietly, the sharp-eyed Percy called out to them: "Fred, George, Lida! What do you want to do? Stand beside me!"

The three of them had no choice but walked towards Percy dejectedly.Lida felt a little bored, she squeezed Fred lightly, and whispered: "Why is your brother so annoying?"

Fred yelled: "Oh! Why are you pinching me! Go pinch Percy!" George said: "We only have one older brother who is so annoying, maybe he is a picked child!"

"Ha!" Lida gave a strange laugh. She avoided Percy's sight, put one arm around Fred and the other on George, and asked pettishly, "Do you want to go out to bask in the moonlight tonight?"

Fred tilted his head and looked at her: "Wow! The good student Lida is inviting us to go on a night tour?" His face was very close to Lida's, and his breath hit Lida's face, that kind of The feeling of a few beats of heartbeat reappeared.She gave Fred and George a troubled smile, and said, "Yes, are you going?"

Fred and George said together: "Go!".
