Hogwarts becomes host

Lockhart's first lesson can be said to be a huge failure.

In Ron's words, Lockhart only taught him two things: don't release elves carelessly, and don't talk about mandrake in front of Elaine.

Fortunately, Lockhart himself learned from his failures and improved upon them. After the second class, he no longer brought any creatures to class. Instead, he read excerpts from his novels over and over again and asked the students to The most exciting part of performing on stage.

Harry was lucky enough to get the right to star every time, even though no one competed with him.

He didn't want to steal it himself. No student wanted to play villains like werewolves, vampires, and snowmen.

At this point, the Defense Against the Dark Arts course has successfully become a joke.

In contrast, Elaine relied on her record of instantly suppressing a large group of Cornwall elves, and Adair's recent success in forcing the pure-blood family and the Ministry of Magic to bow their heads, and successfully climbed into the ranks of people who cannot be messed with at Hogwarts. First, no one dares to twist his beard nowadays. Malfoy's attitude is the best weather gauge.

Instead, the Slytherin people seemed to want to take out all the sullenness suppressed by the Shafik family on Harry. Now it was not just Malfoy, but some Slytherin students would also verbally damage Harry when they met him. A few words, not to mention Malfoy, who provoked Harry every day and continued to dance even if Professor McGonagall caught him and deducted points.

This made Ron and Harry so angry that they wanted to rush up and beat him at all costs several times.

Elaine also wanted to hit someone, but the problem was that she couldn't take action. Malfoy deliberately didn't involve her, so there was no good excuse. The pride of Harry and Ron didn't want to hide behind her, so she could only watch. Leigh and Malfoy's tit-for-tat confrontation.

Time passed quickly, and the first weekend after school was finally here. Harry, Ron and Hermione planned to go play with Hagrid in the morning, while Elaine was pestered by Daphne in every possible way and had to agree to spend the Saturday with her. She had planned to spend the morning walking and chatting by the lake to deal with Tom Riddle in the Room of Requirement.

However, when Hermione mentioned to Elaine, who had just woken up and was yawning, that Harry had been taken to the Quidditch pitch for training, she immediately cheered up.

If nothing unexpected happened, Malfoy would give her a big excuse today, and she would finally be able to beat Malfoy away hard.

Elaine quickly asked Nott to inform Daphne that she would be arriving late, and then secretly followed Hermione and Ron to the Quidditch pitch. However, when the three walked onto the stands, they found that the pitch was empty.

"You didn't mean Harry was here" Hermione looked at Ron accusingly.

"I don't know either." Ron muttered uncertainly, "But Harry's broom and uniform are gone. He also left me a note, which also said he went to training."

"Don't worry," Elaine said. "They were probably discussing tactics in the locker room."

So the three of them sat down on the stand. Hermione went in to get some bread and jam when passing by the restaurant. They were eating breakfast and waiting. Just as Elaine took the jam from Hermione's hand, Daphne appeared with a smile on her face. Elaine almost spilled the jam.

As soon as Daphne approached, she stepped on Elaine's foot first, and stepped on it vigorously, turning it around for about ten seconds.

Elaine felt extremely aggrieved by this, but she didn't say no, she just came with Hermione first to find an excuse to beat Malfoy.

Just when Elaine was being complained about by Daphne, the Gryffindor team finally came out of the locker room.

But Harry just rode the Nimbus Two Thousand around the stadium, and the Slytherin team also came to the stadium with brooms.

The show was about to begin, and Elaine and the other four walked down from the stands to the lawn, and happened to hear the angry roar of Gryffindor's Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood.

"But I've reserved the stadium," Wood said sharply, "I've reserved it."

"Oh," said Flint, the captain of the Slytherin team, "I just have a note specially signed by Professor Snape - I, Severus Snape, give permission for the Slytherin team to come to Quebec today. Training at Diqi Stadium to train their new seekers.”

"You have a new seeker." Wood's attention was diverted, "Who?"

A thin boy appeared from behind the six tall players, with a proud smile on his pale pointed face. It was Draco Malfoy.

He was holding a brand new broomstick with the beautiful gold letters "Nimbus 2001" printed on it, which looked quite dazzling in the morning sun.

Noticing that everyone was looking at the broom, Flint snorted and signaled to the other players, so the seven members of the Slytherin team raised their brooms forward together. Their brooms were as new and shiny as Malfoy's.

"This is a gift from the generous Mr. Malfoy to the Slytherin team. The latest model, just came out last month," Flint said nonchalantly, lightly dusting off a bit of dust from the top of his broom. " I believe it is much faster than the original Nimbus 2000 series."

"As for the old Sweeps," he smiled maliciously at Fred and George, who each held a handful of Sweeps, "use them to sweep the floor."

Malfoy smiled so happily that his cold eyes turned into slits.

The Gryffindor team members couldn't say even a single word. Maybe they were angry, maybe they were too lazy to speak.

Ron stared dumbfounded at the seven advanced brooms in front of him.

"Nice, isn't it?" Malfoy said pleasantly after noticing his gaze, "but maybe the Gryffindor team can also get some gold to buy some new brooms. You can sell those Sweeping Five Stars, I think. Museums will bid for them.”

Elaine rolled her eyes. She really didn't know where Malfoy got the confidence to say this. He thought that all the rich people in the wizarding world were in Slytherin.

Just kidding, I wonder if Sirius Black was released from prison last week. As long as Harry writes a letter, the Gryffindor team will also have seven Nimbus 2001.

The problem is it's not worth it, the Fire Dome is coming out next year.

"At least no member of the Gryffindor team needs to pay to join the team," while Elaine was lost in thought, Hermione had already hit back at Malfoy sharply. "They come in purely on merit."

"No one here asks for your opinion." This sentence was quite heartbreaking. Malfoy's proud expression immediately disappeared and he said angrily. "You dirty little─eh─cough cough cough"

Elaine was about to take action, but Malfoy did not call Hermione Mudblood. He seemed to be choked with excitement, and he coughed a few times before finishing his words.

"You are not a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team," Malfoy took a few breaths and said again. "A person who can't even ride a broom has no right to speak. You don't like Quidditch."

Elaine unclenched her clenched fists and looked at Malfoy doubtfully. She was very sure that Malfoy didn't mean to say this, and he seemed to have looked at her cautiously just now.

Even so, Elaine didn't think Malfoy changed his words temporarily because he saw her. He had already shouted the first half of "you filthy little dblood." and also pronounced the beginning of the mudblood word, but was interrupted by an external force.

"As long as you stand behind Hermione for a day, no one will dare to call her that word." Daphne knew what Elaine was wondering about, and she said softly, "They don't want to give the Shafiq family any excuse to continue to attack."

"But habits are hard to change." Elaine said gloomily. She had no reason to take action now. She really wanted to beat Malfoy as hard as she wanted, but the other party seemed to know her thoughts and was very guarded. "He almost said it."

But to beat people up without any reason and just because of preference would be difficult for her in terms of her own mentality and moral values.

Besides, the current situation cannot allow her to be too reckless.

The Shafik family has put enough pressure on the Malfoy family. If the pressure continues, it will become unreasonable or a family war. Everything must have a mode. Adair has not done things forcefully, right? He has given the pure-blood family The choice was to lose everything or swear not to surrender to the Dark Lord. It was precisely because of this choice that the pure-blood family did not launch a riot regardless of the cost.

Elaine doesn't want to cause misunderstandings and conflicts because of her willfulness.

"That's true, but there is a spell that can forcibly block the slip of the tongue." Daphne looked at Elaine in surprise. "Just play tricks on the fixed words. It's very easy to block such combinations of words that you wouldn't normally use. They will never give you an excuse."

Daphne refers to some special sealing curses. As long as the word is set, when the curser speaks that word, a penalty will appear and he will be unable to speak.

This is also one of the effective ways to deal with truth serum.

"Okay." She sighed deeply. After knowing that she couldn't beat anyone, Elaine turned around without interest and was too lazy to care about the dispute between the two teams. "Let's go for a walk."
