Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 39: Quidditch Team Arrives and Daily Life

After being ravaged by the Bludger, a large number of people chose to withdraw, leaving only seven people on the field, three girls and four boys.

They were running for the Chaser position.

The role of the Chaser in Quidditch is to score, which means he needs to hold the Quaffle to break through the opponent's defense, enter the scoring area, and throw the ball into one of the three small iron rings defended by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Each successful shot scores ten points.

The Chaser not only needs to be strong to deal with the double-teaming of the opposing players, but also needs to be agile to dodge the flying Bludgers, and also needs to have accurate throwing skills to be able to throw the ball into the goal.

It still gives everyone ten chances to catch the ball in the air, dribble forward, and shoot the ball into the goal.

Finally, Hufflepuff got two new Chasers, Tamsin Applemeet and Heidi Macavoy, also two fourth-year girls.

Well, the three players who broke through today are surprisingly all girls, and they are all in the same grade.

All the girls cheered loudly, but the boys' voices were obviously a little weak.

Regardless of whether some people are dissatisfied or unwilling, this selection was very fair and transparent. The quality of other people participating in the selection was obviously inferior to others. Even if the boys were shaved bald, there was nothing to say.

Sainz originally thought it would take a long time, but unexpectedly it was done in just one hour. B. Dunstan said to everyone, "Okay, thank you all for your attention to Quidditch. This time the team selection is over. If any students are still interested in Quidditch, please participate again next year..."

The selection was over and everyone left the venue one after another. Sainz heard many boys and girls talking about the three winners today. It was obvious that they were attracted by the three heroic figures in just one hour.

When leaving the field, he could vaguely hear the Quidditch captain talking to his teammates, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, make good use of the remaining time for training. We have to give the field to Gryffindor in the afternoon..."

Sainz went to the auditorium with his two roommates. At the door of the auditorium, he reached out and caught Speed ​​who fell from the sky.

Recently, Speed ​​has not been as clingy as he was a few days ago, and he has slowly accepted his two roommates. Ben and Adam were originally in low spirits, but they immediately recovered when they saw Speed.

Adam stroked Speed's hard and smooth feathers with excitement, "You are so handsome, you know, Speed, you are so handsome..."

Adam rummaged through his pockets with his hands and pulled out a piece of jerky he always carried with him. He handed it to Speed ​​like offering a treasure, "I carry this with me every day, try it... Hey!... He ate it. It was the first time he ate my jerky. He likes me, Sainz. I dare say he must like me! Hehe..."

"I'm not sure about the rest, but if you don't put away that silly smile on your face, I don't know if the students in the hall will like you. Maybe someone will go find Madam Pomfrey for you."

"Don't do that!" Ben yelled, trying to suppress his expression which was gradually losing control.

Madam Poppy Pomfrey is the school doctor of Hogwarts and the only doctor in Hogwarts. Her medical skills are impeccable.

She is an expert in healing arts, skilled in all kinds of healing decoctions and herbs, and is both gentle and strict with her patients.

Gentleness means that she will treat every patient patiently and wholeheartedly, and strictness means that as long as she thinks you are not cured yet, she will make you stay in the school infirmary and not allow you to leave.

She could cure all kinds of illnesses quickly, but sometimes the taste of the potions she prepared was a nightmare for many little wizards.

Ben experienced this firsthand when he accidentally turned his nose into a garlic knot while practicing a spell.

We chatted and laughed and came to the auditorium.

It was not yet eight o'clock and there were not too many people in the auditorium. While chewing whole wheat bread, Sainz missed steamed buns, pickles and spicy soup.

House-elves are very skillful, and it is not difficult to make it as long as you describe it clearly to them.

The braised pork last time is evidence of this.

However, teaching them one by one was not a good idea, so he decided to find a way to make a Chinese cookbook as a "gift" to them.

Speaking of house-elves, since having Conte's customized service, Sainz has gone to the kitchen much less often this week.

"This won't do. This is wrong. This is totally wrong." He criticized himself in his mind. "It's good to have a dedicated assistant, but I, Sai, must not make the mistake of being out of touch with the masses."

Human feelings are gained through interaction. The legend that one can remain emotionally connected even after not seeing each other for decades only exists in legends.

The reality is, even if they are biological children, if they dare to be away from home for several years in a row, a distance will arise between them and their parents.

Maintaining a relationship requires shared experiences and spending time with each other.

This may sound a bit utilitarian, but wizards don't even need to spend too much energy to maintain relationships with house-elves. They just need to let them know that they are "needed."

Conte felt extremely happy because of a "secret kept together with Mr. Wizard" and wished he could work for Sainz twenty-five hours a day.

The other house-elves will not be negative because of Sainz's extra work. Instead, they will feel satisfied because of the more specific and special labor.

It is easy to understand house-elves, just ask them directly. As long as it is not something expressly prohibited by Hogwarts, they will not hide anything as long as the wizard asks.

In terms of work intensity, the elves at Hogwarts are actually in a serious state of underemployment.

Because of magic, their total working time per day does not exceed four hours.

Including but not limited to cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the castle, purchasing supplies, transportation, etc.

The service purpose of house-elves is to allow wizards to enjoy the services of the elves, while not letting wizards feel the presence of the elves.

Compared with the house-elves in other wizarding families, Conti and his family are actually in an idle state most of the time, which makes them feel guilty and fearful all the time.

I feel guilty that I cannot contribute all my enthusiasm in such a castle, and I am afraid that I will lose this undeserved job in the next moment because of too much free time.

After breakfast, Sainz took an hour to discuss oriental cuisine with the elves, which aroused great enthusiasm for exploration among the elves.

Then, under Conte's care, he stayed in the Room of Requirement until the afternoon.

After dinner, he went to visit Hagrid.

"Hagrid, good evening!" Well, the room smells of alcohol.

"Oh, it's Sainz, how's your week going?"

"Very good. I have gradually adapted to life in Hogwarts. The classes are very interesting."

"I heard about it!" Hagrid made an expression that I understood on his ferocious face, "Who doesn't know that there's a handsome oriental guy among the freshmen this year?

You are smart, studious, humble and polite! I dare say there will be many girls who will be fascinated by you in the future..."

It got more and more outrageous. He said that there were too many drunkards in Hogwarts. He was obviously a little drunk. Aren't you afraid of being censored when you say this to a twelve-year-old child?

"Hey! Hagrid, since you're teasing me like this, it seems like you don't want your gift anymore?"

Sure enough, hearing about the gift immediately diverted his attention...
