Alvin, Hermione, and Ginny sat opposite them, wearing gold and red scarves and gloves.
There are rosettes on Hermione and Ginny's clothes.
Chapter 996 Slytherin's Batter
"How are you feeling, Ron?" Ginny asked Ron, "Are you all right?"
He was staring at the remnants of the milk cereal in the bowl, as if seriously considering whether to drown himself in it.
"He's just a little nervous," said Harry. "It's been a long time."
"That's actually a good sign, I found that you don't do well in the exam when you're not nervous at all." Hermione said enthusiastically.
"Honey, I'll look forward to your performance later." Lavender walked over with the same enthusiasm and sat beside Ron.
She didn't go to Ron's previous training sessions, so she didn't know the real situation of Ron.
Anyway, the few times she went, Ron was doing pretty well, like a good goalkeeper, and he had a great broom.
Ron smiled with a stiff expression, but still didn't speak. Lavender didn't seem to care, but spoke with great interest.
"Well, you see that everyone supports you so much, and all the students in the school will be there. When it comes to the competition, you only need to..."
Aiwen felt that it was best for Lavender not to continue talking. These words of encouragement did not have a good effect at all.
Ron became even more nervous, as if he had just realized that there would be nearly a thousand pairs of eyes on him today.
Just then, he saw Luna strolling over from the Ravenclaw table.
"Hello!" he said in a sleepy voice.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and many people in the auditorium were also looking at Luna, some openly smiling and pointing.
Like the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin the previous year, she wore a hat in the shape of a lion's head, but this time, the hat was more colorful and as big as a real lion's head. worn on the head.
It seems that her Transfiguration has improved a lot since she was in the second grade.
"I support Gryffindor," said Luna, pointing unnecessarily at her hat, "and see what it does."
She tapped the hat with her wand, and it opened its mouth wide and let out a lifelike roar that startled everyone around.
The voice is exactly the same as that of a real lion, so realistic to the extreme.
"Not bad?" said Luna cheerfully. "I wanted him to eat a Slytherin snake, but it was too late."
"It's actually not too difficult!" Ivan said, and he also took out his wand and tapped the sausage in front of him.
The sausage changed rapidly, becoming longer and bigger, and the color turned dark green, and finally turned into a Slytherin snake.
It flew towards Luna's hat, and landed between the lion's mouth, its tail wrapped around its paws to hold it in place.
"That's exactly what I want!" Luna nodded, shaking the top of her hat.
"It's actually sausage. If you're hungry during the game, you can take it off and eat it," Ai Wen said.
"I see, anyway, good luck, Ron!" She floated away happily.
Before everyone replied, Angelina hurried over with Katie and Alia.
"When everyone is ready!" Angelina said, "we will go directly to the stadium, check the situation, and change clothes. Ginny, you go too, and change into the team uniforms. I just asked Mrs. Hooch, and she said that you can have Substitute, but you can only play when the other person is really unable to play, if there is any accident, you can always make up, Gut and Demirza are too young."
"I know!" said Ginny, looking a little more excited than Ron was.
To be honest, how did the Weasley family grow up? Ron and Ginny are only one year apart, and they grew up in similar environments, but their personalities are completely opposite. Ginny is much more optimistic than Ron. Could it be that the little sister Is he loved more than his little brother? !
That's why Ginny is so confident.
Her only weakness was Harry, and after deciding to give up Harry, this one was gone!
"You guys go first, we'll be there in a minute!" Harry assured her, "Ron needs some breakfast."
"Ivan and I will go to the stage to find a seat." Hermione said, pulled Ivan to stand up, and followed Angelina to the outside.
Harry and Lavender stayed with Ron, hoping to cheer him up for the last time.
"We don't need to find a place today."
"Lavender wanted to kiss Ron, he would be embarrassed to have so many of us there," Hermione whispered.
"How do you know?" Ivan asked.
"Because she told her plan in the dormitory last night, I haven't slept yet." Hermione replied.
"I'm suddenly curious, what do you usually talk about in the bedroom at night?"
"It's definitely more open than you think, we..." Hermione stopped suddenly, they just came to the Slytherin long table, and she clearly saw the words on the crown badges on their chests this time : Weasley is our king.
"How could they do this, Ron will collapse when he sees this!" Hermione said angrily, looking at the shiny silver badges in disbelief, "No, we have to go back and remind Harry, Don't let Ron see these badges."
Sure enough, when they turned back, they happened to witness the scene of Lavender kissing Ron openly in front of many people.
Then, she laughed and left, and Ron seemed to wake up a bit, and touched the place where he had been kissed.
Looking at Ron, and then at the particularly heroic Lavender, Ivan thinks it's better to be more reserved.
If Hermione was so enthusiastic, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
After more than ten minutes, they left the castle, descended the stone steps, and walked into the cold air.
The frosty grass creaked underfoot, and Irwin and Hermione hurried down the slope with the crowd to the stadium.
There was no wind and the sky was a uniform pearly white, which meant good visibility but no glare from the sun.
These are relatively favorable conditions for the goalkeeper, and of course the same is true for the audience below.
Just like the Gryffindor team needed a new keeper, the Slytherin team also recruited new players this year. Their batsmen Derek and Ball left, but it was not until the last day that everyone knew that they had found a new player. Who will be the new hitter.
I don't know if it was because of Malfoy, but Montague finally decided on Crabbe and Goyle.
In Angelina's words, they are two ordinary gorillas, and they are not the ones that are particularly good at flying.
Don't worry at all, they may not be able to tell the end of the broom from the end.
However, Crabbe and Goyle continued the style of the Slytherin team as always, that is, they were strong, far beyond what a Quidditch player should be. They seemed to have given up their skills and completely planned to rely on their bodies to win.
What batters, go to hell with the clubs they hold for hitting.
Chapter 997 Weasley Is Our King
A few minutes later, the stands were all full, and Hagrid also came to the stands to cheer for Gryffindor.
His examination results have not yet come down. Although he has prepared for the worst, he still has no courage to change his teaching plan. In the eyes of others, Umbridge is too much of a bully, but Hagrid don't care.
He also persuaded Hermione to calm down in turn. What Umbridge did that day was the common understanding of half-giants.
They are still at Hogwarts, and they don't know the atmosphere of the whole wizarding society.
For vampires, werewolves, half-blood giants, etc., wizards have a natural distrust, and persecution of them happens from time to time. It seems that there are many more excessive things. If it weren't for Dumbledore's efforts over the years, the current situation would be much worse .
Umbridge's performance is not an isolated phenomenon, but represents the concept of a large group of people.
These wizards may not be as absolute as the pure-blood wizards, they are usually kind and friendly, and their natures are not bad, but they still firmly believe that vampires, werewolves, and half-blood giants should all be locked up in Azkaban. This is the mainstream of the magic world.
Just as they are used to enslaving house elves, they don't think there is anything wrong with it, but they are used to it.
Wanting to change this does not happen overnight, and it is very difficult. It can only be appealed by the Minister of Magic or someone like Dumbledore, and the changes can be made subtly, and these groups themselves must also work hard.
It's not okay to come out to carry out an attack now, kill some people as sacrifices or bite children, and always want to make some big news.
But to be honest, it's hard to ask them not to do that.
It can only be said that there are good people and bad people in every class and group, and they should be treated differently, and they cannot be shot to death with a single stick.
For example, Elaine, Lupine, and Hagrid are good people, and they will not do things that endanger others casually.
Although Elaine always said that she wanted to drink Aiwen's blood, she never really drank it from the beginning to the end.
Poor kid, he can't even bite...
Ivan and Hermione did not sit with Hagrid, Colin, and Neville, but found them next to the narrator.
Because of the asterisk, Lee Jordan was going to interview him during the game.
Many people are full of curiosity about this broom, and want to know how Aiwen and the others made it.
Although everyone is involved, the main production staff are Alvin, Hermione, Ginny and Dobby the house-elf.
Ginny was preparing to participate in the competition, and Dobby could not show up. Therefore, only Alvin and Hermione were interviewed.
Lee Jordan first introduced the players from both sides, then changed the subject and started talking about the new broom of the Gryffindor team. He was not in a hurry to interview Ivan and Hermione, but read the name of the broom according to the list Excellent performance, very appetizing.
Some people believe it, and those who think think he is talking nonsense, but more people are dubious.
In any case, everyone is full of anticipation for this upcoming game.
It was the same when Harry’s Firebolt first appeared. As long as he saw the Firebolt, there was a burst of cheers, but the significance of the Star Reaching was extraordinary. Jordan even said that it was an epoch-making product that could replace the Firebolt.
And more importantly, the asterisk was made by Hogwarts students, which is the biggest gimmick.
Five minutes later, amidst cheers, whistles and singing, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams came on stage!
"The captains of both sides shook hands." The referee Mrs. Hooch shouted, and Angelina and Montague came together.
It was obvious that Montague wanted to pinch Angelina's fingers off, but she didn't flinch.
"Now, get on the broomstick!" Mrs. Hooch put the whistle in her mouth and blew hard.
Kick-off, fourteen players soared into the air, and Ron rode the Asterisk straight to the goal ring.
The performance of the broom was really good. He rose rapidly, leaving a phantom in the sky, and stood firmly in front of the goal.
"It's not too bad, is it?" Hermione looked at Ron worriedly. "Hope he does better."
"Okay, everyone, the game has begun!" Jordan began to explain, "Let's wait and see how the Gryffindor and Asterisks perform. First of all, it was Johnson who grabbed the Quaffle, what a girl, it's the same as Feitian The broom has nothing to do with it, it's all about her personal strength, I've said it for several years, but she still refuses to date me..."
"Jordan!" cried Professor McGonagall.
"Just kidding, professor, spice it up. Well, she dodged Warrington, she dodged Montague, and she, whoops, got hit by a Bludger coming from behind, Crabbe Yeah, he doesn't look that stupid, does he?" Jordan yelled, "Now it's Montague who catches the Quaffle, Monty drives back, George hits a nice Bludger, runs Monty's head flew off, he lost the Quaffle, Katie picked it up, Warrington tried to stop him, this time it was Fred, he got the Bludger again, he stopped Warrington, Katie of Gryffindor back to Alicia Spinnet..."
Lee Jordan's commentary echoed in the field, and the superior performance of the Asterisk was quickly demonstrated by Fred and George.
There is nothing going on with Ron yet, but Fred and George have already started to control the field with the star-strike. Gore and Crabbe are not their opponents at all, no matter in terms of flying skills, batting skills or despicableness .
Because of the impact design of the Asteriskers, even the advantage of their physical strength has completely disappeared.
Fred and George could become the best batsmen at Hogwarts by sweeping the seven stars. Now they are replaced by the asterisks, and the two are even more comfortable. The entire Quidditch field has become a stage for the two of them to perform .
Below, the audience cheered wave after wave, and Jordan has been explaining the wonderful performance of the two of them.
However, the Slytherins quickly started to fight back. Montague simply asked Goyle and Crabbe to give up the Bludger. They couldn't grab the Bludger anyway, so they might as well go all out to grab the Quaffle. It didn't matter how many hits, they were going to attack, attack, and force the Gryffindors back.
In the auditorium, the Slytherins also began to sing, drowning out the noise on the field.
"Listen to this voice, what are they singing?" Jordan said in surprise.
As he stopped to listen, the singing rose loudly from the silver and green sea of Slytherins in the stands.
That little Weasley, he can't block a ball, the Slytherins sing, Weasley is our king.
Weasley was born in the dustbin, he always put the ball in the goal, Weasley let me win this, Weasley is our king.
Chapter 998 Win The Game
The Slytherin keeper, Bledge, caught the ball and threw the Quaffle to Warrington, who galloped past Arya and Katie, getting closer and closer to Ron , the singing below is getting louder and louder, Weasley is our king.
There were bursts of loud screams, and the louder and louder singing, and the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak.
"Weasley is our king, he puts the ball in the goal, Weasley is our king."
At this moment, everyone stopped, even Harry and Malfoy.
They didn't care about looking for the Snitch, they turned to look at Ron, and everyone was looking there.
On the other side of the field, the lone figure stood guard in front of the three goal rings, and the burly Warrington was speeding towards him.
"Warrington got the Quaffle, and Warrington rushed towards the goal, the Bludger couldn't catch him, and there was only the goalkeeper in front of him." Jordan shouted, speaking very fast, "Without cooperation, it will not succeed Yes, but he seems desperate, this is their only chance, and Slytherin can't even grab the Bludger now!"
The singing in the Slytherin stands was getting louder and louder: Weasley is a fool, he can't block a ball.
"Now is the first test for Gryffindor's new keeper, Weasley, brother of legendary Gryffindor captain Charlie Weasley and batsman Fred and George Weasley. , the rising star of the team, he has a fine Quidditch tradition. Come on, Ron, stop him!"
But seconds later, there was cheering from the Slytherin side.
