Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 378: Quidditch match in the new semester

Louis did not tell Harry and the others what he heard.

The stakes were high, and who knew whether Harry and the others would be so hot-headed as to find Hagrid on their own. First of all, not to mention that they didn't know where Hagrid was. Once he left Hogwarts, it would be very dangerous for Harry.

He did not believe that Dumbledore did not discover him under the Disillusionment Curse that night. On the contrary, it was precisely because Dumbledore discovered Louis and not Harry or anyone else that he could let Snape continue. Go down.

As for Hagrid, the people of the Order of the Phoenix would never leave him alone, but rushing forward without any information was no different from going to die.

Moreover, Voldemort's forces were secretly controlling the situation, and the people in the Order of the Phoenix simply didn't have the time or energy to deal with this matter.

But fortunately, Hagrid is protected by world-class wizards. Regarding his safety, if Madame Maxime cannot protect even one person, she will really be unworthy of her title of Principal of Beauxbatons.

Now, what is more critical for the Gryffindors is their weekend game against Slytherin.

This was also Ron Weasley's first game as Gryffindor Keeper, which made the guy nervous.

Especially during the D.A. activities on that Wednesday, Ron was absent-minded throughout and was hit by Neville's stun spell several times.

The stun spell was also the second spell Louis taught them. It is the most commonly used spell in battles between wizards today.

"sorry Sorry.."

This was also what he heard most often at that time. Because he couldn't concentrate, he couldn't control the output of magic power.

Either the force was too strong, or the force was not strong enough, which made Ron feel completely upset.

In fact, not only Ron, but most people in Hogwarts have great expectations for this, because there has been no Quidditch match for a whole semester, and the students are all excited about the first Quidditch game. Have great enthusiasm.

Gryffindor and Slytherin have a feud, and there is constant friction between them. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are also more concerned about the result of the game, because it is related to their future ranking.

The deans of the two colleges did not stop the students' behavior in name, but kept saying that they must follow the spirit of sportsmanship and be fair and just.

However, they were all doing some "little tricks" secretly. Professor McGonagall canceled all Transfiguration homework two days before the game. Snape went even further. He kept renting the Quidditch field as a professor, almost all the time. Leave Gryffindor without a ball to practice with.

This certainly sparked deeper antagonism between Slytherins and Gryffindors, such as sneaking around in the corridors and using magic, something Slytherins often did.

Therefore, Gryffindors from Dumbledore's Army often follow Quidditch players to protect their safety. At least before the game starts, those players are in excellent condition.

The only thing to worry about now is Ron's condition. Because after all, this is the first game without Wood's participation, and it is also the first game with huge personnel changes.

The weather in the morning was not pleasant. It was getting colder and colder, and the grass around the castle was covered with ice.

Ron's mood became more and more nervous as the weather changed. His face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his hands kept shaking.

Even though Harry and the others kept comforting him, he couldn't take a bite of food. He was even more nervous than Harry's first time on the court.

"Ron, you have to eat something." Harry advised, "Don't be nervous, just like during training."

Ron nodded dully, and even his twin brother, who usually insulted him, praised him, which was an extremely rare thing.

He really cares too much about what people around him think of him, including during training, when Angelina yells at him whenever he makes a mistake, he becomes extremely nervous and makes more mistakes.

The Slytherins quickly realized this, and they specifically found Quidditch players to use verbal attacks instead of curses. Of course, this was completely ineffective for Harry, who endured four years of cynicism, such as some People would laugh at Harry and say that Warrington (Slytherin's current Quidditch captain) swore he would knock him off his broom, but Harry would respond that Warrington's aim was terrible, and if he aimed The person next to him, he might be a little worried about.

But Ron was different, especially when meeting someone like Malfoy, his entire ears would turn red and he would become extremely nervous.

An hour before the start of the game, Ron's condition still hadn't recovered, but it was already better than before. As they passed the Slytherin table, those people wore a badge on their chest and pointed at Ron and Harry.

"What's written on those badges?" Harry asked confused.

"I don't know, let's go quickly, it's probably not a good thing." Hermione urged.

Louis did not see Astoria. It seemed that the girl was unwilling to join this group of people.

When they arrived at the Gryffindor table, they received a warm welcome. Angelina whistled to encourage them. Each of them ran to Ron to cheer them on, but the situation did not get much better.

He slumped on the bench and complained in distress.

"I must be crazy to do this."

"Don't be stupid." Harry said with a serious expression, "You will be nervous for the first time. It's okay. There is nothing wrong with you."

"No, I'm useless." Ron said decadently.

"Control your emotions, Ron." Louis also encouraged him, "Think about the goal you saved before. Believe me, no one can do it to your level."

"It was just an accident, Louis," said Ron. "What if I had missed?"

Now Ron really needs encouragement, but if he can really get him back to normal, he has to rely on himself.

Ginny appeared before them wearing a red and yellow dress and gloves.

"Is Ron feeling okay?" she asked worriedly, "Is everything okay?"

"He's just a little nervous." Harry explained, "Well, he's been nervous for a long time."

"This is actually a good sign." Ginny breathed a sigh of relief, "Because you know, you may perform better if you add a little more tension to each exam."

This is a correct statement. Louis wanted to say something more, but was pulled over by Angelina behind him.

"What's wrong?" He looked at the Quidditch captain in front of him in confusion.

"You may need to play today." Angelina said seriously, "I'm worried that the Slytherin people will cause some obstacles."

"I?"

"Yes, as a substitute player. Professor McGonagall just told me that this year's competition system allows substitutions midway through the game, so to be on the safe side, you have to prepare, Wiggins."

"But I don't have a broom yet..."

Louis said distressedly, it is impossible to borrow Astoria's Firebolt during the game with Slytherin.

"Don't worry about the broom, Professor McGonagall has already taken care of it." Angelina said carelessly, "I have reported your name to Mrs. Hooch, don't worry it will be fine."
