Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the first Quidditch match of this year kicked off.

At nine o’clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the Quidditch stadium was already bustling with people.

It seemed that all the teachers and students of the whole school had gathered here, eagerly looking forward to this wonderful match.

Many students even bought telescopes from the Wanyou Shop, ready to capture every wonderful moment.

Even Professor Trelawney, who had lived on the top floor of the Hogwarts tower for a long time and rarely went out, suddenly showed up to watch the game today.

The old housewife sat in the back row of the side stands, occupying two seats by herself, sitting cross-legged on the chair, staring at the prophecy ball in her hand, and muttered mysteriously:

“Ah, I sensed it… The darkness is approaching, and the terrible feeling is getting stronger… The future is in chaos, and it seems that someone is about to fall.……”

In short, this is a grand event for the whole school.

Hermione was the exception. She grumbled in dissatisfaction:”How can Quidditch scores be counted into the House Cup? So many points are awarded for one game, then wouldn’t our hard work in daily life become worthless?”

Ye Ting was unmoved. He calmly pointed out:”If Quidditch scores are not counted into the House Cup, I’m afraid no one will care about the so-called house points.”

“Besides,” he continued,”won’t the House Cup become a niche competition by then, held only for you and us Ravenclaw? The influence may not even be as good as the Gobstone competition.”

These words left Hermione speechless for a moment, and she reluctantly gave up the idea of writing a letter of advice to Dumbledore about this matter.

Ye Ting and Zhang Qiu sat in the last row of Ravenclaw, watching the game from a high vantage point.

Where Ye Ting was, Susan was naturally indispensable.

Hermione also sat here on purpose.

During this period of time, they often worked together, doing some work such as cutting fabrics, making parts, and painting, and their relationship became closer and closer.

Ron also followed.

It was not because his relationship with Hermione had eased, but because he was commissioned by his twin brother to work in Ravenclaw. A banner in support of Gryffindor was hung on the stand of Ravenclaw.

As a member of the Everything Shop, business is business, but one still has to have a stance. 02 Ron fumbled for a long time, but still failed to hang the banner on the top of the Ravenclaw stand.

His spells were really clumsy, and people were worried about him.

Finally, Hermione couldn’t help it. She waved her wand and used the [Levitation Spell] to make the huge Gryffindor banner float in the sky.

The banner unfolded with the wind under the effect of the [Levitation Spell]. The majestic lion painted on it was stepping on a green snake and roaring, as if… It seemed as if they were cheering for the game.

However, there were more than just one banner on the scene.

Perhaps it was the advertising line that Ye Ting referenced from the arms dealer that worked.

There were no less than ten banners of all sizes floating on the stands of the four colleges, not counting those whose magic was too poor to float.

It must be said that Ye Ting’s estimate of the sales situation was quite accurate.

The distribution of the banners was generally that Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw all hung Gryffindor banners, and only Slytherin insisted on hanging its own banner.

Judging from the number, Gryffindor’s banners It was almost twice as many as Slytherin’s, and this gap was also reflected in other items such as the school hats and cheering sticks.

However, in terms of quality, Slytherin’s banner was undoubtedly better.

Especially the one in the center of the Slytherin stand.

The banner was not only made of satin fabric, but also inlaid with gold lace. What’s more amazing is that there were animated patterns of each player on the banner.

The effect was immediate, and the morale of the Slytherin players soared after seeing this surprise.

It can be said that in terms of support for the team, the little lions were completely defeated.

Ron looked at the exquisite banner and couldn’t help complaining

“Why don’t we have such cool banners?”

Hearing this, Hermione rolled her eyes and said unhappily,”That’s simple, because Gryffindor doesn’t have that much money!”

Ron was confused,”Hermione, what does this have to do with money?”

Hermione looked at Ye Ting, who thought for a moment and told the truth,”We sold these cool banners to Slytherin.”

“What?!” Ron’s voice suddenly rose, his face full of astonishment:”Why? Why do you want to help Slytherin?”

His tone was a little excited, as if he had been betrayed:”If it was sold to Ravenclaw, I could understand, but that’s Slytherin! Our enemy!”

“In fact, the”we” that Ye Ting mentioned is not just him, but also includes me, George and Fred.”Hermione pointed out coldly when she heard Ron’s questioning tone.

Ron was completely confused:”George and Fred are also included… How could they help their enemies… Aren’t they also beaters in the team?”

Ye Ting patiently explained:”This is what Malfoy ordered from me. It cost fifty Galleons. It’s not free. If you have money, you can also come to the Wanyou Shop to order it.”

“”By the way,” he added at last,”George and Fred can also get a share of the money, so they don’t care.”

Hearing this, Ron shut up immediately.

Sometimes, gold galleons are more persuasive than any eloquence.

Before the game started, Susan took out a bunch of tempting delicacies from her pocket like a magic trick and distributed them to everyone – butter cookies, popcorn, chocolate, caramel pudding, croissants… These were all prepared by the elves in the kitchen.

This is the privilege of being a Hufflepuff student – being able to enter and exit the cafeteria at will and receive preferential treatment from the house elves.

Seeing this scene, Ron immediately put away his last bit of resentment, licked his face and stayed, and ate happily.

With his mouth full of snacks, he asked vaguely:”Uh, who do you think, uh, can win this game?”

Ye Ting gave a panacea answer:”Ron, the Quaffle is round, the field changes rapidly, and anything can happen. But of course we will support Harry.”

Susan and Zhang Qiu also nodded. After all, the Weasley twins were on the Gryffindor team, so it was natural for them to support Gryffindor.

Hermione looked around cautiously, then leaned next to Ye Ting and said seriously:”Ye Ting, I heard a piece of news before that Professor Snape tried to pass by Fluffy on Halloween Eve!”

Ron also echoed seriously:”Yes, this is what Harry and I saw with our own eyes. We saw him going in that direction.”

Ye Ting glanced at the two of them, with a puzzled look on his face:”Professor Snape went in… Is there anything strange?” Does he enter that place less frequently?

At least more than Ye Ting.

“Isn’t this strange?”

Ron seemed to have heard something incredible:”That’s the restricted area set by Professor Dumbledore! It’s guarded by a ferocious three-headed dog. There may be something important hidden in it… such as Dumbledore’s treasure or something!”

“Unfortunately, there are no mysterious treasures in there that you imagined, Ron.”

Susan smiled and revealed the answer,”The end of that passage is actually Professor Dumbledore’s office.”

“”Huh?” Ron was confused.

He remembered that Harry had told him that Professor Snape tried to pass by Fluffy, the three-headed dog, and he was looking for the mysterious object guarded by the big dog! Harry even suspected that the troll that day was deliberately let in by Snape.

After the two discussed, they felt that they could ask Ye Ting for help.

After all, it was he who successfully killed the troll, and he also had a bad relationship with Professor Snape.

However, now that he heard that the end of the passage was the principal’s office, Ron began to waver.

This meant that Harry’s previous speculation might be wrong.

“But!”Hermione suddenly interrupted. Although she knew that the end of the passage was the headmaster’s office, she still insisted on her point of view.

“I thought about it carefully after I went back. Ye Ting, you once said that the level has not been fully designed. You also told me that everything the principal does has its deep meaning. So, why did he go to so much trouble to design such a level? It can’t be to catch those little wizards who wander around at night, right?”

She took a sip of pumpkin juice and continued,”I went back to inquire, and found that many Gryffindor wizards have tried that level, but they all stopped at Fluffy. That level may be simple for you, but for others, it is an insurmountable obstacle!”

Zhang Qiu and Susan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Ye Ting looked at Hermione with admiration. The girl was really the smartest witch he had ever seen.

And Ye Ting looked at Hermione with admiration.

She was worthy of being Miss Know-It-All. She was indeed the smartest witch Ye Ting had ever seen.

��Every word of her analysis makes sense. Even if you haven’t read the original novel, you can get closer to the truth step by step with subtle clues.

In this case, it’s okay to reveal some information to her, which can also remind them to stay vigilant.

“The most suspicious person should be Qi Luo!”

“Professor Quirrell?” Hermione frowned.”How could he be related to this?””

“On the night of the Halloween dinner, Professor Snape was not the only one who went to the restricted area on the fourth floor.”Ye Ting said casually,”I also discovered the whereabouts of Professor Quirrell.”

Of course, he didn’t see it with his own eyes, but didn’t he know who Quirrell was? (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Susan also looked serious:”Indeed, he suddenly fainted at the dinner, and then mysteriously appeared on the fourth floor. There must be something fishy about this.”

“But……”

Ron said hesitantly,”Maybe Professor Quirrell is going to stop Snape from going in. We shouldn’t doubt him casually.”

“Why do you always keep an eye on Professor Snape?”

Zhang Qiu looked at Ron dissatisfiedly,”Why can’t you doubt Quirrell?”

Ron was asked with a red face and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Ting knew where Ron’s prejudice came from:

Snape’s difficulties with Gryffindor, his targeting of Harry, and his sarcastic words made it difficult for people to have a good impression of him.

Although Quirrell was equally unpleasant, his cowardly appearance made it difficult for people to associate him with bad things.

These are all prejudices brought about by personality, and the truth is often hidden beneath the appearance.

“”There are some things I can’t tell you right now,”

Ye Ting said slowly,”but one thing I can be sure of is that Professor Snape has been teaching at Hogwarts for ten years. If he really had a problem, Professor Dumbledore would have discovered it long ago. And Professor Quirrell, this is his first year at our school.”

Ye Ting didn’t want to go to great lengths to convince them, so he directly attributed the reason to Dumbledore’s wisdom.

This trick really worked.

As soon as Dumbledore was mentioned, Hermione was convinced, and Ron also felt that what Ye Ting said made sense.

While they were chatting, the game began.

“Gryffindor is here!”Commentator Lee Jordan suddenly shouted, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.

He has been serving as the commentator of the game.

“Harry Potter, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, the Weasley brothers, and finally the captain Oliver Wood.”

Lee Jordan excitedly introduced the list of players,[]

“That’s right, Potter became a first-year seeker after Charlie left. He is also one of the youngest players in the past century!”

Charlie is Ron and the twins’ older brother, and the previous seeker of Gryffindor, but unfortunately he graduated last year.

Lee Jordan paused and continued:

“According to the inside information I got from Wood… Harry is definitely qualified for this position. Therefore, even though the game has not yet started, I dare to assert that this Gryffindor Quidditch team is definitely the golden generation of Hogwarts in recent years!”

However, Lee Jordan’s comments were drowned in the boos of the audience.

I have seen people who can blow, but I have never seen such a good blow – you said so last semester.

Madam Hooch served as the referee of this game. She stood in the center of the court, holding a flying broom, waiting for the players on both sides to be ready.

“”Listen, I hope everyone can participate in the game with a fair and honest attitude.” She solemnly warned the players as they gathered around her. As she spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at the captain of the Slytherin team, Marcus Flint.

Then, Madam Hooch blew the silver whistle in her hand, and the game officially began.

Fifteen flying brooms rose from the ground at the same time and soared into the sky.

At this time, commentator Li also began his passionate commentary:

“Look! The Quaffle was snatched by Angelina Johnson from Gryffindor right after the game started. She is not only an excellent chaser, but also has a fascinating face.”

Lee’s words were full of admiration for Angelina.”Oh, I’m not confessing my feelings, I just said what was in my heart accidentally. Of course, if she is willing to date me……”

“Jordan!” A stern shout interrupted his daydreaming.

“Sorry, Professor.”

Li immediately stopped joking and continued his explanation seriously.

However, after a few words, he couldn’t help talking nonsense again.
