Dynavale and Hogwarts

Dana supported Ernie in his own way, staying with him until the end of training, and even rarely attended the post-training summary.

After everyone finished speaking, Dana also raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.

"Sorry, what I say next may offend some players, but please believe that my intention is for the good of the Quidditch team. If we want to win against Ravenclaw, the team must make some changes."

Dana's words caused a lot of discussion among the other team members. Some said that he was overestimating his own abilities; some said that he did not understand the team and was not qualified to say these things.

Dana turned a deaf ear and muttered in her mind: "All for Hufflepuff"

Captains Gary and Cedric stepped in to calm everyone down.

Gary warned Dana: "You'd better mean what you say, not just talk."

Dana continued his speech: "The team's chasers are very good, which will be the guarantee of our victory; we also have a great seeker, which will be the key to winning the game."

Dana observed that the expressions of the team members were slightly smiling.

"But our defense is a bit weak. The disadvantage cannot be made up for in a short time. We might as well adopt a better strategy."

At this point, Dana stopped deliberately to attract everyone's attention. Sure enough, most of the team members were listening carefully; the batsman Diego was a little angry, but still listening; Zacharis wanted to say something, but Gary stopped him with his eyes.

"Using the counter tactic, let our batsmen watch the opponent's batsmen and watch them tightly. In this way, the batsmen on both sides cannot play their role, and the advantages of our chasers can be brought into full play, which is more beneficial to us. favorable.

"The above are my thoughts. If I offend anyone, please forgive me. Everything is for Hufflepuff."

After a brief moment of silence and thought, Cedric was the first to express his support: "We can give it a try."

Captain Gary was even more straightforward. Maybe he had also thought about this aspect and made arrangements directly: "The opponent's batsman's flying ability is not bad, but we may not be able to catch it. We need a player with better flying ability and poor physical confrontation. bad person

"Burris, are you willing to take on this important task?"

Burris knocked twice on his left chest with his fist and said solemnly: "I am willing to do anything for Hufflepuff."

"Well, you lead Diego to watch the Ravenclaw batters." A smile appeared on Gary's face.

"Zacharais and I have changed our positions to chasers. Zacharias, please get familiar with cooperating with David and Charles as soon as possible. You two old players should guide him more." Gary faced the two old players and said solemnly Please.

The two old team members stood up and covered their chests with their palms: "It is our duty to do everything for Hufflepuff."

The new playing style and composition of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team were quietly taking shape.

New week begins.

Among the students, rumors spread that Harry was the heir of Slytherin. I think Harry's life was not easy.

It's just that Dana can't do anything about it. People only believe the facts they want to believe.

The students ignored the fact that Harry was still lying on the hospital bed waiting for his bones to grow during the second attack, and believed more in the fact that they saw Harry appear at the scene of Mrs. Norris's murder.

Besides, Dana has been busier recently.

He only participated in Quidditch training once a week before, but now he does it almost every time in order to support Ernie.

What’s even more frightening is that because the team needs to adjust, there will be training almost every day from this week to before the game.

The whole team was holding back their energy and vowed to wash away the shame on their bodies. What everyone is thinking is the same sentence: Everything is for Hufflepuff

This sentence made everyone unite closer, and like magic, it made everyone forget about fatigue and complain.

In this atmosphere, no one would be embarrassed to hold back.

So did Ernie. Daily training took up so much of his energy that even Ernie's press conference at dinner was suspended. In this way, Ernie felt that it was not enough and often asked Dana to help him practice more.

After hard training, Dana's strategies tailored for him also achieved good results.

When he was one-on-one with the opponent's chaser in the scoring area, Ernie did not rush in front of the chaser to grab the quaffle like before, trying to keep the "8" figure flying in a circle to block the chaser's attack. The line forced him to take action early.

This horizontal flight strategy makes up for Ernie's inflexible turning defect, and the blocking success rate increases significantly. Even Gary's smiling face, which he had not seen for many days, was filled with approval.

Dana also took Ernie to secretly watch a Ravenclaw Quidditch team training, mainly wanting to see the three Chasers.

They originally thought they would be expelled from Ravenclaw, but maybe they were too confident, maybe they looked down on these two newbies, but in short, no one came to chase Dana and the others away.

Dana and Ernie were able to watch a training session in full view.

"This opponent is left-handed, so you need to pay attention to it, unlike those who usually use their right hands."

"Did you see that this opponent always has a very short pause when flying to the left? When facing him, try to force him to fly to the left."

"This player's offensive intention is very obvious. Pay attention to the direction where his eyes are staring. He will definitely break through in this direction after a while."

Ernie jotted down these key points so that he could take targeted precautions during the match.

When Dana and Ernie returned to the lounge, they discovered that Ravenclaw's provocative words had spread throughout Hufflepuff.

New grudges coupled with old grudges completely angered the little badgers. Everyone shared the same hatred and tried their best to serve the Quidditch players.

"All for Hufflepuff" became the words on everyone's lips.

When the team members come back from training, there are always hot meals waiting for them; the warmest corner of the lounge is always reserved for the team members; even the team members have people who enthusiastically help with their homework and help them find information.

Even Dana, the alternate member, enjoyed the same treatment, and he was a little flattered for a moment.

But the little badgers didn't pay attention. Their high expectations also became a kind of pressure invisibly, which fell heavily on the team members.

The old team members were better off, as they had similar experiences before; but the new team members were not so relaxed.

Finally one day, after training, Ernie, who had performed poorly today, couldn't hold on any longer and cried bitterly while holding Dana in his arms in the locker room.

Dana remained silent, trying his best to comfort Ernie, and finally waited until he calmed down from the collapse.

"Dana, you don't know. I don't dare to look at their smiling faces now. I feel so guilty every time. They left the best to us, but if we lose the game, how will we explain to them?

"Every time I dream about this place, I wake up with a fright and find that my body is covered in cold sweat."

Dana wanted to enlighten and said slowly: "What kind of person does Hufflepuff House admire the most?"

Ernie said: "Of course he is a down-to-earth and hard-working person."

"That's right, have you asked yourself recently: Have you been down-to-earth and diligent? Have you worked hard? Have you tried your best?"

"Of course," Ernie replied loudly without hesitation: "I tried my best without any slack."

"Then what are you worried about? There are many factors that affect a game, but as long as you try your best, you will be honored even if you lose. Just learn a lesson and start over.

"As for the students, they may be a little disappointed at first, but as long as you give your best, they won't say much and will support you in the end."

Ernie's face had his usual smile again.

"Besides, who says we will definitely lose? God will reward those who work hard. Our hard work will not be in vain. You must believe in your teammates, believe in yourself, and believe in me and the hard practice during this period.

"None of this will be in vain. No matter what, we will support you. Remember, you are not fighting alone."

Dana breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ernie return to his usual energetic self.

I'm not very good at giving chicken soup, but I can make sarcastic remarks easily. I had to do it today, but fortunately the result was good.

"Who is outside?" Dana suddenly heard the noise coming from outside. Someone must be outside. He didn't know how long he had been here, so he asked.

A man walked in outside, his steps were a little hesitant, it was Zacharis.

"You said, the students will still support us in the end, even if we lose the game," Zacharis asked with red eyes.

Dana understood that this was another person who was about to be crushed, and he was here to seek psychological comfort.

All for the sake of Hufflepuff, Dana is willing to reconcile with him temporarily.

"Yes, I firmly believe they will, because I am one of them, so I know." Dana did not hesitate.

Dana heard some clues from what Zacharias just said and asked curiously: "Gary won't be playing in the next game? Are you officially going to replace him?"

Zacharias nodded: "He's injured, in his waist. He's just holding on for training, but it's too much for the official game. He told me secretly, and in order not to affect everyone's training, he hoped that I would keep it a secret."

"so"

"We didn't hear anything," Dana and Ernie replied in unison.

After thinking about it, Dana said to Zacharias: "I have watched Ravenclaw's training. One of the two batters likes to aim at the head, and the other likes to aim at the broom. You should pay more attention. In fact, your The level is already very good.”

Zacharias said nothing, nodded, and left silently.

Dana shouted loudly behind him: "Come on", and saw him raise his hand and shake it.
