Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic

Hearing Sissy's words, Harry was also beating a drum in his heart. After all, yesterday was the first time he rode a broomstick. If he met Auston in the competition, he would be his opponent.

He turned to look at Qian Qian again, if I confronted her brother, who would she support? Harry thought to himself.

Sissi turned her head to look at her, her big blue eyes filled with questioning.

Harry shook his head and smiled brightly at her.

Auston started training the day after he decided to join the team.

"We are short of a goalkeeper here. You can be the goalkeeper for the time being, and we will adjust it later to see what you are good at," Cedric said.

Auston has no objection either.

"Do you know the rules of Quidditch?" asked a light-blond-haired boy who was a head taller than Auston.

Auston nodded confidently

"certainly!"

Cedric pointed to the boy who just spoke to Auston

"This is Roger Wilson, the third-year Chaser"

He pointed to the two boys who were slightly taller on the other side and introduced

"This is Cadwalader and Zachary Rice-Smith, who are also Chasers, fourth graders like me"

"And them, Jack Harper and Benjamin Ferguson, they're hitters. Fifth grade," Cedric said, looking at the two bigger boys.

Auston, who was not short before, was like a little one among them. This made him feel ashamed, and it seemed that he would eat more in the future.

They all took out their brooms, all Comet 260, old and new, especially Jack Harper, who Auston recognized was the older Comet 230 in his hand.

"This is my dad's broom, and he gave it to me when I joined the Quidditch team." Seeing that Auston had been staring at his broom, Jack explained, blushing slightly.

Only then did Auston suddenly realize that something was wrong with his actions, and he hurriedly looked away.

Now he doesn't know if he should take out his Nimbus 2000.

"Where's your broom?" asked Card of the freckled Chaser.

"You have to get a broom, at least a Comet 230. If you don't have the money, we can help you get it together. The school's brooms are old things from 40 or 50 years ago, and they can't be used for competition at all."

After hearing this, Auston now understands why Hufflepuffs always end up at the bottom of the competition. These players have very low requirements for the brooms they ride. Comet 260 was launched five years ago. The speed is a lot worse than that of the Nimbus 2000, which was just launched this year. Not to mention Comet 230, it has a history of more than 20 years, and now it is impossible to find on the market, and even if it is found, it is probably second-hand.

Not to mention the Nimbus 2000 sponsored by Professor McGonagall in Harry's hands. Especially after Malfoy rose to the second grade, his father Lucius Malfoy sponsored seven Nimbus 2001s faster than the Nimbus 2000 in order to put his son into the team, which was beyond the reach of the Hufflepuff players. .

So is it because the Hufflepuff students have no money?

of course not!

Actually, aside from Slytherin, the Hufflepuffs are the richest family. Most of Hufflepuff's students are Muggle-born, and generally their families are in the Muggle world either in business or in high positions, and of course they have enough money.

However, because their understanding of transportation only stays at the level of gas power inherent in Muggles, and they often cannot control the brooms used by wizards, most of the Hufflepuff Quidditch teams are young wizards from wizard families.

Since most of the children from families with certain influence and financial resources in the wizarding world have entered Slytherin, almost all the members of the Hufflepuff team are from poor wizarding families. One by one is also using backward brooms.

Auston twisted and pulled out his broom from his dragonskin bag, which he secretly brought from home.

The other team members were stunned! Pairs of eyes stared at Auston's broom. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch but not daring to touch it.

Auston threw the broom directly in front of them and let them enjoy it casually.

Cedric patted Auston's shoulder excitedly

"I just said I didn't pick the wrong one! Not only did I recruit a goalkeeper with good flying skills, but it also earned our team a new-style broom."

Auston had to say, yes, yes, you are the boss, you are right!

After the whole team watched Alston's broom, they came to the Quidditch pitch. Get ready to go big.

Unexpectedly, the stadium would be crowded early.

Buck-toothed Marcus, wearing a green Quidditch robe, led a group of his players to practice on the field. There were still some Slytherin students sitting in the high stands, Auston looked up, there was Malfoy on it, and there was still sitting not far from Malfoy - Delphi!

Auston never thought that Delphi would take the initiative to support the Slytherin team. Since the last unpleasant confrontation at the door of the Enchantment Classroom, Delphi has never come to Hufflepuff to find him. When I saw him again, I didn't say a word, as if I didn't know him. Auston is getting busier and busier these days, and he has no time to find her to ease the relationship. They're stuck like this all the time.

"Hey! Flint, I've made an appointment with Mrs. Hooch to use the court! Is your confinement over so soon!" Cedric walked up to Marcus and said.

"Humph!" Marcus showed his disgusting buck teeth and scorned Cedric with snake-like eyes.

"We have a note from Professor Snape. And Professor Snape has told Filch that I don't need confinement during training and games." He took half a piece of parchment from the pocket under his robe.

Cedric took the note from his hand and saw that it read

'I, Dean of Slytherin and Professor of Potions at Hogwarts, Severus Snape, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com allows the Slytherin team to use the Quidditch pitch for training on Sunday. ’

Cedric returned the note to Marcus, and returned to his brothers in dejection.

"He has a note. It looks like we will train again tomorrow." Cedric led them back to the castle in disappointment.

Auston expressed that he was very puzzled. It was obvious that Mrs. Hooch had more say than Snape in the use of the Quidditch pitch. Why are the Hufflepuffs so obedient, if Gryffindor would have fought those green snakes long ago!

Several people discussed that Professor Sprout must also write a note to them tomorrow.

"I'm not used to it. Slytherin is always like this. We have had several conflicts with them. If we fight in the future, don't be afraid." Roger Wilson said, holding Auston's shoulders.

Auston said that he could not ask for it, and he wanted to teach a lesson to those mighty Slytherins for a long time! Should have fought with them just now!

"Whoops! I didn't see that you were still a militant!" Several team members teased Auston together.

Where is the place for training? Auston has been thinking in his mind that if Slytherin can grab the first time, he will be able to grab the tenth time. Besides, the stands are open-ended. If they have any arrangements, everyone can see it clearly. Where can they find it? A place that is not disturbed by others and suitable for training.

Suddenly Auston's eyes lit up, he thought of a perfect place - the Room of Requirement!

Just do it! Auston stopped them

"I know a place that is especially suitable for training and no one interferes!"

Hear what Auston said. Several people seemed to have seen the dawn, and came up to ask where it was.

Auston beckoned

"follow me!"
