Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 436

The Hufflepuff team has recruited new Seekers and Chasers this year, respectively, fourth-year Arnot Rosek and first-year Alesia Esther, who is also the first after Harry. A student who officially joined the Quidditch team in first year.

Alicia is a girl with long blond hair. Her parents are both Muggles. Before coming to Hogwarts, she had never been exposed to broomsticks and Quidditch. However, Ivan remembered that when she took a test flight on the Star Reacher in the morning , fly very well.

She is very talented in this, just like Harry back then, her performance was amazing, and Professor Sprout specially approved her to join the team.

Of course, she was almost as shy as other first-year students, and she didn't dare to talk to Ivan.

The Hufflepuff team found her a sweeping 10. This old-fashioned broom was a model from three years ago, and the speed was very slow, but it was also the average level of the Hufflepuff team. For an ordinary student, it was almost It's the limit!

After about 5 minutes, the Gryffindor team members changed their clothes and came out.

It was the first time for Ron to put on his own team robe, and the robe fit him quite well. You know it was Oliver before?Wood's robes, Wood's shoulders were much wider than his, and he seemed a bit taken aback to see the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs at the edge of the field.

There was a burst of screaming and jeering from the Slytherin crowd. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to carry out their own training. It echoed loudly around the stadium.

Their purpose is obvious, they want to see the performance of picking stars.

The reputation of this new broom made by Aiwen has spread almost throughout Hogwarts. People in other colleges are very worried. One Firebolt is deadly enough, and now there is another one that is not weaker than the Firebolt. Asterisked...

Don't talk about technology, the Gryffindor team can crush the broomstick itself.

"These guys are so annoying!" Ginny said, after Ron used the asterisk, she used Ivan's light wheel today.

"Leave them alone!" said Harry, "we'll see who's laughing when we're done with them!"

"That's the attitude I want, Harry, we're aiming for championships this year!" Angelina said approvingly, flying around them with a Quaffle under her arm, before slowing to a stop at her In front of the players in mid-air, "Everyone, let's pass a few balls to warm up first, all players pay attention, spread out now, let the guys below see how we are doing!"

The practice started, and Angelina raised the Quaffle with one hand and threw it hard at Fred, who passed it to George, who passed it to Ginny, who threw it to Harry, who passed it to Ro Well, but Ron didn't catch it...

There was another burst of laughter from the Slytherin crowd. Ron controlled the Asterisker and rushed to the ground to catch the Quaffle before it hit the ground, but the speed of the broom was so fast that he didn't seem to expect it. , Excessive force, with a bang, he slammed into the ground hard...

The Gryffindor team froze, the Slytherins nearly fainted with laughter, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson laughed rough and screamed, The Hufflepuffs also stopped their training and turned to look at Ron.

Ivan clutched his forehead weakly, he never thought that such a thing would happen.Ron hadn't gotten used to the Star Reacher yet, and starting the second acceleration in such a short distance caused the speed of the broom to become too fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to react before he hit the ground.

Fortunately, the thick and big asterisk, unlike other brooms, had built-in protection magic, so Ron was not injured.

Even so, his face was already red enough to bleed, and his ears were also red.

He didn't speak, and rose back to the pass height with an embarrassed look on his face.

Harry wanted to comfort Ron, but didn't know what to say, hitting the ground was not a common mistake.

He saw Fred and George exchange glances, but for the first time neither of them said anything, and Harry was slightly relieved.

"Go ahead, Ron," Angelina said, as if nothing had happened.

Ron throws the Quaffle to Aaliyah, Arya to Ritchie, Ricky to Harry, Harry to George, George to Angelina, Angelina to backhand Harry didn't expect to pass it to him again, but he caught the ball with his fingertips and passed it quickly to Ron. Ron rushed to catch the ball, and the ball slipped out of his hands when it reached him. ...

Chapter 958 The end of training

Ron swooped down to the ground again to chase the Quaffle. It could be seen that he deliberately controlled the speed of the broom this time, so that he didn't hit the ground, but when he stopped the dive, he was sloppy and almost slipped off the broom.

"Can't you control that broom, Weasley?" The Slytherins burst into laughter.

"A goalkeeper who can't even catch the ball!"

"Look at how stupid he is. It's better than him to find an orangutan to ride that broom."

"Come on, Ron!" Angelina said angrily, as if surprised by Ron's behavior, "Be careful, you are riding the best broom, as long as you react quickly, there is no reason why you can't catch it ball."

Ron was already nervous enough, and picking an asterisk did not help him improve, but added too much pressure to him, which no one thought of.

It was hard to tell whether it was his face or the Quaffle that was more red as he rose to pass height again.

Practice continued, and for the third time, Ron finally caught the Quaffle, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself seemed to think the same way, and he was very glad that he caught the ball this time, maybe because he was relieved, he was too excited when he passed the ball, and with too much force, the ball flew directly past Katie's open hands , hitting her face hard.

boom!Even though it was so far away, Ivan could still hear the impact, and he sighed softly.

"Sorry!" Ron moaned, swishing over to see if Katie was seriously hurt.

"Get back to her place, she's fine!" Angelina yelled, pissed off, "but you're passing the ball to a teammate, don't try to knock her off the broom, okay? Do it with a ball, you need to use less force. Also, don’t aim at other people’s faces in the future.”

Katie's nose was bleeding, and the Slytherins below were stomping and laughing, all of them were dying, completely forgetting about their experiment, and even the Hufflepuff players looked at Ron jokingly, Frey De and George moved closer to Katie.

"Here, eat this!" Fred took out a small purple object from his pocket and handed it to her, "We have special medicine, the blood will stop soon."

"Okay, let's practice something else." Angelina yelled loudly and said helplessly, "Fred, George, get your bat and a Bludger. Ron, come soon Go to the goalposts. Harry, Ginny, Richie, Demirza, you four play the ball with us, we are going to attack Ron's goal. Yes, let's not practice anything else, the main task today is Help Ron get used to..."

Ron staggered to the goal, and Harry and the twins flew down to get the Bludger, and they landed beside Alvin.

"Ron made a mess of things, didn't he?" whispered George. "It's pretty bad!"

"He's just nervous," said Harry. "He was fine when I practiced with him this morning."

"He may not be used to picking stars." Ivan said, only a few records were recorded on the clipboard in his hand. He was originally going to record the performance and various reaction data of picking stars, but according to Ron's It shows that he thinks that more safety protection should be added to the broom, flying and Quidditch are really dangerous enough...

"Well, I hope he doesn't pass his peak so soon," Fred said worriedly, "and adapts as soon as possible."

They were back in the air with the ball, and when Angelina blew the whistle, Fred and George let go and let the Bludger fly.

Everyone moved, they passed the ball to each other and flew towards the goal.

The three newcomers Ginny, Richie, and Demirza performed very well, giving full play to their own sensitive advantages.

But immediately, Angelina blew the whistle, and everyone stopped.

"Stop, stop, stop!" she screamed, "Ron, you didn't hold the center!"

Ivan could see clearly that since the whistle sounded, Ron had been hovering in front of the circle on the left, staring at the few people flying over. The other two circles were completely unguarded, as if they did not exist, and were easily Tossed several balls in.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot..."

"Forget?! You have to keep moving around while watching the Chaser!" Angelina said. The three rings are circling, and must not be moved aside inexplicably, that is how the four balls leaked in just now!"

"Sorry!" repeated Ron, his face glowing like a beacon against the blue sky.

"And Katie, can't you do something to stop the nosebleed?"

"It's getting stronger and stronger!" Katie said in a muffled voice, blocking the continuous flow of blood with her sleeve.

Hearing her words, Fred looked nervous and was checking his pockets.

"Go back to your respective positions, let's try again." Angelina said weakly.

In the stands, the Slytherins were so happy that they sang "Gryffindor loses, Gryffindor loses" in unison. Angelina took a deep breath and pretended not to hear, but she The posture on the broom is obviously a little stiff.

Ron returned to the ring in the middle, but couldn't do it at all, and was easily thrown into it several times.

Just 2 minutes into the practice, Angelina had to blow the whistle and stop before he could block a ball.

Everyone flew over like Katie, and Ivan also flew up. Her face was as proud as a piece of paper, her body was stained with blood, and she was teetering on the broomstick, and she might fall due to excessive blood loss at any time.

Poor girl, she should have known earlier, don't try what the twins give you lightly...

"I have hemostatic medicine here!" Ivan said, took out a small bottle of potion and poured it down for Katie, and the nosebleeds became less.

"She needs to go to the hospital." Angelina said decisively, "She has left too much blood, it is impossible to continue training."

"Let's take her there." Fred said, "She, um, how should I put it, probably ate a blood collapse bean by mistake. Madam Pomfrey may need to know the ingredients of this thing in order to prescribe the right medicine..."

"Hey, without batters and chasers, it's meaningless to continue training." Angelina said with a straight face, watching Fred and George supporting Katie from left to right and flying towards the castle. , and didn't have the mood to continue practicing, she waved her hand dejectedly, "Let's stop here today, let's go, let's change clothes."

The Gryffindors slumped back into the dressing room, the Slytherins singing loudly.

At this time, the Ravenclaw team had just arrived at the edge of the field...

They wanted to watch and observe the performance of the asterisk, but they were surprised to find that the Gryffindor team's training ended early.

Chapter 959 Sirius in the Fireplace

"Oh, the three of you are back, how is the training going?" Half an hour later, Ivan, Harry, and Ron entered the Gryffindor common room through the portrait hole. Hermione asked coldly. Stacks of thick books.

"Totally screwed up," Ron said hollowly, plopping down on the sofa, his eyes glazed over.

Aiwen gave Hermione a look, she seemed to understand something, and her cold attitude eased slightly.

"It's okay, this is your first time participating in training." She comforted, "It will definitely take time..."

"Who said I messed up training?" Ron asked grimly.

"No one!" said Hermione, looking taken aback. "I thought..."

"Do you think I'm doomed to be trash?"

"No, of course I don't think so! Look, you said the practice was screwed up, so I'll just..."

"For some reason, I'm going to do my homework." Ron said angrily.

He walked heavily towards the stairs leading to the boys' dormitory, and disappeared in a flash.

"What's going on?" Hermione turned to Ivan and Harry, "Did he screw it up?"

"No." Harry replied immediately, loyal to his friend.

Hermione raised her eyebrows, obviously not convinced, and turned to Ivan.

"He's just too nervous and needs to get used to it," Ivan said.

"Yes, I think he can perform better." Harry murmured, "This is just the first training..."

Ron didn't show up for dinner either.

Although Ron was away, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were not bringing up this topic.We all know that his head is full of thoughts about his poor performance in Quidditch practice, and he himself has a hard time getting the "Gryffindor lost" song out of his head.

On Sunday, Ivan taught Harry, Hermione, and Ginny their first magic study since the beginning of the new semester. The number of people increased appropriately. Colin, Neville, and Kate from the first grade also joined in. This time the main study Or basic spells.

Fred and George didn't come, and neither did Ron.

The spell practice only lasted about two hours, and after a simple practice of the stun spell and the obstacle spell, it was over.

Everyone's minds seemed to be off the top, Harry and the others were still thinking about their homework, and except for Hermione, no one else seemed to have finished it, and the others thought about going out on the grounds, enjoying what might be the last bit of sunshine this year.

During lunch, Ron finally walked out of his bedroom. The incident seemed to be over, and his performance returned to normal.

Perhaps, he might be hungry, and there was no need to starve himself to death because of poor Quidditch practice.

After lunch, Ivan and Hermione went for a walk, while Harry and Ron stayed in the common room, buried in their books.

The Quidditch teams of the other three colleges were still training on the field. Ivan and Hermione stood and watched for a while, then walked to Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know where he is now.

Even now, Hermione thought Hagrid was impulsively bringing back a giant, and that he might run into any danger along the way.

Also, they saw the Bowtruckle that Professor Graplan had brought.

They gather on a well-prepared tree and stay inseparable. These magical creatures are the patron saints of the trees and live only on the wand tree.

They looked like little elves made of wood, each with brown, knobby legs and arms, two twig-like fingers on each hand, each flat, bark-like There are two small round brown eyes shining on the funny faces.

The two of them played with the Bowtruckle for a while, and Hermione decided to go back and revise her sketches. She didn't draw well in a few places.

In the common room, Harry and Ron curled up by the fireplace, looking extremely hard and haggard.

"How is it outside?" Harry said to Ivan, but his eyes were looking at the blue sky outside the window.

"The weather is fine, everyone is playing outside, what about your homework?"

"Well, not much progress, we really should try to get as much homework out of the way as possible." sighed Harry, who was wretchedly working on Professor Sinistra's paper on Jupiter's many moons.

Ron was writing a long paper on non-animal summoning spells assigned by Professor McGonagall, and he tried to use the one Harry had already completed as a reference.

But to be honest, there is no reference value, it is better to look through the textbook.

"Yeah!" Ron said, rubbing his slightly bloodshot eyes, and threw the fifth scrapped parchment into the fire next to him, "Ivan, tell me, can I ask Hermione, Shall we see the paper she wrote?"

"I don't think she would agree!" Ivan said, taking out a magic book.

Crookshanks curled up in her lap as Hermione tinkered with her Bowtruckle sketches while chatting happily with Ginny.

The three of them quieted down again, and Aiwen was immersed in the magic treatise in his hand about the accumulation of magic power and the release of energy.

Different from cumbersome magic spells and usage techniques, this spell discards other effects and directly converts magic power into energy, causing damage to the hit target. It is a very interesting research direction, and it is more suitable for Aiwen's current situation.

When fighting, you don't need to think about using any spells, but directly use magic power to cause damage to the enemy, which can greatly shorten the casting time.

Moreover, Ivan's magic power is very strong, and the energy he can gather far exceeds that of others.

Next to Ivan, Harry and Ron continued to rack their brains to think and write, doing their best to complete their homework.

The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and gradually, the people in the common room became rare again.
