Admiral of Hogwarts

The most direct result of the conversation between the company and Lupine was that Lupine held a small Defense Against the Dark Arts extracurricular class, but except for a few Gryffindors, no one signed up for this interest class.

At the end of November, the Ravenclaw team and the Slytherin team started their first game. Because of the presence of Veneto, the members of the Slytherin team had to put away those dirty tricks in advance to avoid inducing... Ravenclaw's counterattack.

In the second grade, some unbelieving Slytherin students tried to ambush Veneto in the corridor. As a result, Veneto knocked them all down, and then threw all the boys into a pile in the corridor. Let that group of people be laughed at for a long time.

In fact, if we compare purely technically, the Slytherin Quidditch team is actually slightly better than the Ravenclaw team.

Especially this year after Ravenclaw's old captain and several main players quit the team due to graduation or exams, excluding Veneto's ability to knock down opponents on the court, Ravenclaw's disadvantages are more obvious than in previous years. Much.

But in the end, the Ravenclaw team still won the game at the end of November. This was mainly because Quidditch did not limit their respective game equipment, and the points obtained by catching the Golden Snitch could give that team an absolute advantage. .

Therefore, in the entire game, Zhang Qiu's level as a seeker was even slightly worse than Malfoy's, but Fantasy 3 could clearly overpower Nimbus 2001 in terms of performance.

As a result, even though it was Malfoy who discovered the Snitch first in the game, Zhang Qiu came later and caught the Snitch in the end.

One of the biggest direct consequences of this game was that after the game, Massachusetts received a large number of letters of inquiry from the United Kingdom, including several Quidditch clubs.

After all, the Hogwarts Quidditch game is not completely closed. Sometimes people from outside the school are allowed to watch the game in the stands, so naturally some people realize that the fantasy 3 broomstick Zhang Qiu rides has Advantage.

"There's good news, we may be able to release our new brooms a week early." The day after the competition, Hugo received a message from Massachusetts via the Admiral Network.

"Because a karst-style underground cave was discovered where the geocentric furnace was originally planned to be built, a lot of time was saved in site construction, and the furnace construction process was also much earlier than planned."

"This is a good thing, it means we can add our goods to the Christmas shopping season." Hugo replied, "By the way, how much stock do you have? I remember that there were several competition brooms that were eliminated due to insufficient production. .”

"Don't worry, we are in industrial production." Massachusetts said confidently, "Especially after the production of Fairy Silver is no longer restricted, our current production efficiency is even faster than the Nimbus series. As for the Firebolt's distribution speed, They are far from our opponents.”

"That would be good." After receiving a positive answer from Massachusetts, Hugo showed a smile on his face. "Although the shipment volume of this top-notch product is not large, the profit is very considerable, and it can drive a large industrial chain."

"More importantly, the definition of top-level products makes the market capacity of this thing limited. So only if we produce fast enough can we occupy this market."

"This is not a big problem, because apart from the private customization made by a few traditional handicraft workshops, the only thing that can compete with us is the Firebolt." Massachusetts explained.

"But because the Firebolt uses a lot of elf silverware as its core structure, the delivery of silverware is very problematic due to the low price and craftsmanship that the elves are good at. The output is very unstable."

After learning that everything was ready for the release of Fantasy 3, Hugo seemed very excited, because these industries are very important to him. In addition to bringing him a lot of wealth, the main benefit is that he can gather more people.

With the expansion of Hood's industry in recent years, they now provide enough jobs for at least half of the unemployed hemp or mixed-race wizards in the UK, and then organize these people.

Although these people have not been organized for a long time, the ship girls are confident enough to come up with an organization that is internally united and has a certain degree of combat effectiveness in a year or two.

After receiving these good news, Hugo felt a lot happier inside, which also offset a lot of the depression caused by the recent bad weather.

After all, the storm here at Hogwarts has not stopped much since October, and it lasted until December before there were some signs of gradually stopping.

However, compared to before, there is good news during this period, that is, dementors no longer dare to approach the school campus.

On the one hand, this is because Principal Dumbledore's anger really scared them, and on the other hand, the students' parents rained down owls with howling letters sent to Fudge, forcing the Ministry of Magic to take more measures to restrict these abominable monsters. .

Two weeks before the end of term, the sky suddenly cleared to a blinding opalescent color and the muddy fields were covered with a shiny layer of frost one morning.

Inside the castle, there is a Christmas atmosphere everywhere.

Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, has decorated his classroom with shimmering light sources that are actually real fairies flapping their wings. The students were happily discussing their vacation plans.

"This Christmas, my father said he would take the whole family to France for skiing." After receiving the letter from home, Hermione happily waved the letter in her hand and said to Hugo.

"If it's correct, we are going to a famous ski resort in the Alps. I have seen TV about that place before and I heard it is a very beautiful place."

"Vacation in France, that's really good news." Hugo said after reading the letter. After all, the Alps are one of the most famous ski resorts in all of Europe. And it just so happens that we can go over there and summon some French ship girls.

In the last week before the holidays, everyone can go to Hogsmeade again. For most of the third-year students except Harry, this was something that made everyone happy.

"Remember, we should buy some more Fluffy Tooth mints when we go to Hogsmeade tomorrow. Mom and Dad like this snack very much." Hermione whispered to Hugo while reading in the library the night before. .

"Don't worry, I will remember it." Hugo said, putting down a book about alchemy in his hand. Since participating in the alchemy competition last time, he now has the right to borrow alchemy books from the restricted book area at any time, but Can't be taken out of here.

So now whenever he has free time, Hugo will come to the library to borrow these precious books that are regarded as treasures at the bottom of the box by some families outside.

On Saturday morning, there was something to do in the hotel where Veneto and Firefly had to go to Counterattack. So Hugo and Hermione left Hogwarts early in the morning despite the snow.

When they passed the entrance hall, they saw Harry standing pitifully on the steps watching his classmates leaving the castle for Hogsmeade one after another.
