I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

John didn't go to watch, he was in the principal's office.

He put a teaspoon of dried blackroot powder into the cauldron and stirred, and the stench filled the room.

"Black root grass has the effect of resisting black magic when eaten."

Slughorn put his hands on either side of the potbellied waist, and the buttons on the waistcoat were about to fly out from the belly.

He praised: "It is a wise choice, but we have no way of knowing whether the blood curse can also be resisted."

"This is not a potion for the blood curse," John said shaking his head, "it is to prevent other magical effects from being removed from the blood curse."

"Your vigilance is admirable," said Slughorn.

"Perhaps we could add rose thorns."

Slughorn, master of potions, offered his opinion.

That's why John sought out Slughorn for his research.

On the one hand, he can establish a friendship with Slughorn, and on the other hand, he can use the clever brain that has been teaching at Hogwarts for decades to complete the research.

Slughorn, as headmaster, had no complaints about being invited to experiment on Saturday.

Because John sent him a new luxury ice cream set, the pineapple ice cream inside is very popular with him.

Slughorn has a good relationship with the portrait of the former headmaster Black, and the two Slytherin headmasters can often be seen talking and laughing happily. Often at this time, other headmasters will snort from their noses.

On Slughorn's bookshelf, John sees a whole Lockhart series.

"The Ravenclaw kid was always having some out-of-the-ordinary thoughts at school to get people's attention," Slughorn said, "but after he got out, he seemed to be a brave wizard."

Slughorn said with some regret, "I didn't realize his potential ability at the time."

Well, because he is incapable.

John's face was expressionless, and Lockhart was so good at it that Slughorn once felt that his vision of seeing people was wrong.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the Lockhart he knew.

After all, even John couldn't figure out how on earth Lockhart had graduated from Hogwarts.

In addition to the Oblivion Charm, Lockhart's two simple lockpicking spells could be problematic.

Slughorn's vicious eyes were as precise as a scanner.

Today's experiment is over, and John is about to leave.

Slughorn wanted to invite John to a dinner at the Slug Club, but John declined because he had to screen the rest of the material.

He left the principal's office.

Instead of going to the Star Club, John went to the Quidditch pitch.

Before entering the arena, John heard the commotion from inside.

Ten broomsticks fly around the field, and the fastest one will advance to the next round.

Among the ten people, one with golden hair stood out.

Wearing windproof glasses on her face, the girl controls the Uni-Nimbus 1000 broomstick used for Slytherin testing.

When turning ahead, the girl will lower her body and lower her center of gravity, smooth as if it were an arc drawn by a compass.

Some candidates in the rear couldn't control their speed and hit the auditorium, and some slammed into the rear people with too much force.

Girl wins.

John couldn't help applauding, and there was thunderous applause on the field.

The girl took off her windproof glasses, sat on Nimbus 1000 and raised her right hand high.

He was so heroic that a boy in Slytherin shouted: "It's so cool!"

The golden hair is tied up in a ponytail, and the beautiful face that is gradually growing is fascinating.

Daphne waved excitedly, "Astoria!"

Astoria entered the final selection, and Malfoy over there was occupied by Goyle and Clara.

"Draco, don't be impulsive."

"What did that kid say so cool? How dare he say that to A Tuo?"

The two big men barely held Malfoy, avoiding the occurrence of the prefect beating the younger grades violently.

Continue to choose.

Astoria's performance is amazing.

Her appearance is not as aggressive as her sister's, but a soft and cute face.

But this kind of girl flies faster than everyone else, and throws eighteen balls into it while moving at high speed.

John sat next to Daphne, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't know that Astoria had such good flying skills."

"She's very talented in this area, and she's the fastest skier in Finland."

The older sister Daphne was so proud that she even subconsciously ignored why Astoria came to select players.

Her smile continued until Astoria succeeded in becoming a Slytherin Chaser.

"That's great, Atto!"

Malfoy didn't hold back, seeing Astoria become a team member, he encouraged him loudly.

Seeing this, Astoria ran over and hugged Malfoy.

At that moment, John stretched out his left hand almost subconsciously.

"Calm down, calm down."

John pressed Daphne's hand that pulled out her wand, sweating and said, "Even if he is Draco, he can't bear the curse."

"That damned skunk boy!" Daphne struggled, "I want to hang him in the Astronomy Tower..."

After struggling for a few seconds, Daphne realized something was wrong.

She seemed to be dead, her head slowly lowered.

Seeing the hand tightly holding her, Daphne's anger disappeared quickly like cotton candy soaked in water.

Instead, it was a different kind of love.

John noticed that Daphne's mood gradually stabilized and began to relax.

To prevent Daphne from being impulsive again, John grabbed her hand together with the wand.

There was no objection from Daphne, and Daphne didn't even pay attention to what her sister was doing.

Slytherin trials lasted two hours.

Astoria became the Chaser, and that was something to celebrate.

There is no shortage of hitters, and Gore and Crabbe performed well last year, successfully defending their official player positions.

The Chasers have undergone a big change, and several substitutes have been recruited at the same time.

After the selection process, Malfoy announced his disbandment.

Slytherins are better than other houses, they are much more disciplined than messy.

Queue out of the Quidditch pitch.

John looked at the new team members who didn't know much about the world. They didn't know what they were about to experience.

Today was the selection, and Malfoy didn't start training.

By next week, this group of people will face the merciless torture from Malfoy.

Compared with other houses, Slytherin has always had an unpretentious advantage.

That is they have money.

This rich not only refers to the background of the students, but also the sponsorship of the team.

When students in other colleges still brought their own broomsticks, Malfoy took the team to the lounge first.

There are six Nimbus 2001 neatly placed inside.

Even though it has been a few years since the first batch of Nimbus leaves the factory in 2001, there is still no other broom to replace the broomstick left behind by the predecessor.

Unless other colleges buy Firebolts in bulk, Slytherin's equipment is definitely the best.

After leading the team to familiarize themselves with the team, Malfoy officially dismissed the team.

Like the calm before the storm, Malfoy let these team members enjoy the last relaxing vacation of this semester.

...

Gryffindor common room.

Because of Ron's affairs, Harry kept comforting him.

Later, even Hermione joined the consolation team.

In fact, Ron's skills are not bad, but that lack of self-confidence.

It was this that led to Ron's stage fright being defeated by McLaggen in the second game.

Although Ron pretended not to care, he still couldn't pass the test in his heart.

Harry even wanted to restart the game for him, to comfort this good brother.

But after all, you can't do this, it will be unfair to other players.

"It's McLaggen." Ron was annoyed.

He didn't have such annoyance when he lost to others, but that McLaggen was really annoying.

Ron felt that McLaggen should go to Slytherin, which would be the best match.

Harry didn't like that man either, because he acted more like a Captain than he did.

Hermione had no choice but to propose to look for Hagrid.

Ron said a little annoyed: "Come on, Hagrid probably doesn't want to see us at all."

"Let's go, Hagrid must miss us very much." Harry also felt that he would take this opportunity to relax Ron.

Both agreed, and Ron was forced to agree.

They headed for Hagrid's cabin.

Outside the hut, they saw Buckbeak, the hippogriff who was supposed to be executed.

As Sirius went to Hogwarts, Buckbeak also returned to Hagrid to raise him.

Harry knew how to deal with it, and leaned forward to meet Buckbeak in the eyes, bowing deeply.

Buckbeak met his eyes for a moment, then bowed to let Harry come closer.

Just as Harry stepped forward to stroke Buckbeak's hair, they saw Hagrid coming from behind the hut.

It's just that Hagrid, who was quite happy at first, suddenly collapsed.
