Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 10 The Quidditch Team

The Hogwarts express train was speeding through a thick fog and across a vast plain.The three of Maureen and Hugo Lily were biting chocolate frogs in the carriage while talking about their favorite Quidditch teams.

"Dad likes the Chudley Cannons, but it's a pity they didn't make it to the final this year, and they were beaten by the Wimbourne Hornets, 290 to 50, especially the Wimbourne Hornets' Seeker Senior, who was looking for the Chudley Cannons. Baller Croft grabs the Snitch by the back of the neck, and Dad is pissed."

Hugo pulled out the Chudley Cannons badge from his pocket, a bright orange badge with an imposing cannonball and two Cs.

"So you support the Chudley Cannons, too?" Morin asked.

"How is that possible! I like the Wimbourne Hornets, their attack is impeccable! The last time I went to see these two teams with my dad, you can imagine the Wimbourne Hornets won in the group stage What about the Chudley Cannons? Every time the Hornets score, my dad threatens to ground me if I dare to cheer.” Hugo looked helpless, and his dad and son supported different teams and went to watch the game together. disaster.

Molin spread out a chocolate frog magic card, which was a Harry Potter magic card. The characters who could be printed on the chocolate frog card were quite famous in the wizarding world.He broke open the chocolate frog and said: "I thought you would like the same team as your dad, after all, what you have heard and seen. Like my grandpa likes the Atal Hurricanes, I listen to him talk about the "Hurricanes" of the Atal Hurricanes every day. The cross-sweep' tactic, you know, where the Chaser flies in a quick circle in the air and the batsmen escort the formation, it's hard not to be an Atal Hurricanes supporter."

Lily interjected, "Unless there are many people in your family, Uncle Bill and Uncle Charlie support the Wimbourne Hornets. Basically, Uncle Ron is the only one in the family who likes the Chudley Cannons."

"But to be honest, the Atal Hurricane team is indeed very strong. This year's Quidditch League champion is very likely to be the Atal Hurricane team. They currently rank first in points." Lily added.

Morin and the three of them discussed the Seekers and Chasers of each team. They agreed that the Atal Hurricanes' Seeker Luca was the strongest, but the Wimbourne Hornets' offense was the strongest. Difficult to defend, and the Chudley Cannons would have lost even worse without the famous hitter star Stanzi.

As the sky gradually darkened, Maureen and the others changed into Hogwarts school uniforms, and the Hogwarts train stopped slowly amidst the whistling sound.The voice of the train conductor sounded in every car, reminding everyone to leave their luggage on the train, and someone will take their luggage to the dormitory for them.

"How do you think they know which piece of luggage is ours? There are so many teachers and students' luggage in the whole school, and different colleges, so they won't be confused?" Hugo was caught by a white pet cat when he got out of the carriage. tripped.

"The name on the luggage." Lily tied up her somewhat messy hair.

"Really? Last time James said that he deliberately took off the tag with his name on the luggage, but the luggage was still sent to his dormitory. If there is anything different, it is that he has an extra suitcase." It smells like jasmine, and he said that the person who gave him the box might be a female conductor who likes jasmine perfume, whoops!"

Hugo stumbled and tripped again, this time Maureen accidentally stepped on his heel.

"Sorry, there are too many people." Mo Lin pulled Hugo up on the platform and said, "You should have heard the Returning Curse, right? It's the opposite of the Flying Curse. I think the conductor will cast the Returning Curse on luggage Yes, luggage knows the way like an owl."

"Oh, don't tell me you're a jack-of-all-trades, my God! Have I met another bully?"

Hugo rolled his eyes, he didn't look very surprised, because he already has a sister who is a school bully, and Rose is long and Rose is short every day at home.

Maureen shrugged his shoulders: "My grandfather is an expert in breaking spells. I often watch him cast spells. Anyway, I know a little about spells."

"Then at least you don't have to hurt yourself in Charms class. James said that Professor Flitwick's class was a disaster. He often blew up the desk. Mom used to send him howling letters." Lily said .

"James' spells are a mess. He's good at offensive spells, but he's terrible at technical spells. He's good at Defense Against the Dark Arts, unlike our Rose, who knows everything." Hugo muttered.

"I heard you talking bad about me again." A tall girl who looked three-thirds like Hugo came over and looked at Hugo seriously.

"Hi, Rose." Maureen also knew Rose, and he had met many members of the Weasley family before.

"Nice to see you, Maureen." Rose was holding a book in her hand, and Maureen noticed that the book was "OWLs Handbook". Sorting for freshmen. Mom asked me to watch you, don’t make trouble at school, you’d better be safe.”

After Rose finished speaking, she raised her head and disappeared into the crowd.

Maureen was surprised: "Rose is only in the third grade, right? OWLs should not start until the fifth grade. Why is she reading OWLs books?"

Hugo snorted: "Don't be stupid, it's too late for her! She thinks she should start preparing for the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination in the second semester of her second year, ghosts know that geniuses have some stuff in their heads What! This summer vacation, she is sitting at home reading books all day, and discussing the twelve basic rules of the transfiguration spell with her mother after eating. It is enough! The ordinary wizarding level exam is still a century away from us! Great time! Shouldn't it be used for playing?"

Mo Lin agreed with Hugo very much. It was indeed too early to start preparing for the fifth grade exam in the third grade. After all, there was still a lot of magic knowledge that had not been mastered.They walked along with the crowd, and soon saw an old man more than three meters tall shouting loudly: "First-year freshmen, first-year freshmen, please gather here."

"That's Hagrid, Hogwarts key keeper and teacher of magical animals." Lily raised her voice, because the crowd around was very noisy, "Dad often invites him to our house during the holidays, he is a very interesting person .”

Hagrid had thick hair and a gray beard, and a pair of big boots looked like two little dolphins. Maureen and the others were simply tiny in front of Hagrid.

Both Lily and Hugo said hello to Hagrid, and Hagrid invited everyone to get on the boat, four to a boat.Maureen, the three of them were on a boat, and a pale little boy named Toby.The lake water was rippling, and the ripples were drawn, and they didn't need to row the boat, the boat drove forward by itself.

Mo Lin raised his head and looked at the huge castle above his head, which was filled with a strange atmosphere. The lights flickered dimly, and the moonlight swayed peacefully, making the castle even more mysterious.It was the first time for Maureen to come to Hogwarts. Although he had seen the magical appearance of Hogwarts in books and even on his bookmarks before, seeing the castle with his own eyes still made him feel excited surging.

"Look down," Hagrid yelled, and their boat approached the cliff, passing through the curtain of ivy that covered the face of the cliff, and saw a huge waterfall cascading down from the top of the cliff.

What surprised everyone the most was that the boat they took started to swim upstream along the waterfall!
