Admiral of Hogwarts

049 Meet Hagrid

Hugo and the others finally placed their bet on the fact that Gryffindor would win the first game and Harry would catch the Golden Snitch, and this choice made the Weasley twins very excited.

After all, although it was said that Gryffindor and Slytherin had a real quarrel over this matter, when it came time to place a bet, most people just took out a few Silver Sickles or even Copper Nuts to make a point. Just showing support. It can be said that it is rare for Hugo and the others to take out so many gold galleons. In their memory, Firefly, who is also a freshman, made the same choice as Hugo and the others and bet 10 galleons.

It seemed to the twins that the reason why Hugo and Veneto spent so much money was probably because they and Harry were in such a mess last time because of Malfoy. So this time I wanted to win the bet and get angry. In addition, because they and Harry had faced death at close range last time together, they are likely to have a special kind of trust and recognition for Harry.

"I think we should try our best to ensure that Harry wins the game this time." After finishing today's work and saying goodbye to the Weasley twins, Veneto said to Hugo through the Admiral Network while walking in the corridor. "I didn't expect that there would be times when we needed to maintain the plot and prevent it from changing."

"That's normal." Hugo shrugged and replied, "After all, specific problems need to be analyzed in detail. We can't just be so stupid and not know how to adapt."

For the next while everything was pretty normal. Except for the Quidditch players from various colleges who were stepping up their training, no unexpected incidents occurred. In this way, time quietly came to November.

The Scottish Highlands where Hogwarts is located are in the north of England, so the weather gets very cold very quickly. The mountains around the school are gray and covered with ice and snow, and the lake is as cold and hard as tempered steel. Every morning, there is frost on the ground. Hagrid could be seen from an upstairs window, swaddled in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, defrosting a broomstick on the Quidditch pitch.

During this time, Hugo and the others also visited Hagrid at Harry's invitation. Unlike most wizards, Hagrid was very enthusiastic about Muggle-born wizards like Hugo, and even invited them to taste his craftsmanship. Veneto unexpectedly made friends with the half-giant because he sincerely liked the various hard snacks made by Hagrid.

It must be said that although Hagrid has various problems, his nature is not bad. He is very forthright about his recognition, especially in the communication, it can be felt that he regards Hugo and other students as equal communication objects, and does not look down on them because of their young age.

In the next few weeks, Hugo and the others visited Hagrid's hut many times. This was mainly because they were very interested in the stories Hagrid told about magical animals and the Forbidden Forest, and wanted to hear more. And Hagrid was also very happy that people like them who sincerely liked the knowledge he told came to visit.

After all, as Hogwarts' keykeeper, Hagrid is actually as much a school janitor as Filch. So usually not many students are willing to talk to him.

So after figuring out why Hugo and the others wanted to visit him, Hagrid was happy that he had been recognized by others on the one hand, and on the other hand he started to make some preparations in his free time to ensure that he It will be smoother when explaining that knowledge to Hugo and the others.

In such a regular life, the Quidditch season began. The first game on Saturday is Gryffindor versus Slytherin. Although the two colleges had previously decided to make a bet to resolve this trouble, the smell of gunpowder in the school was getting stronger.

Harry was obviously a little uneasy, because as the youngest Seeker in Hogwarts for a century, many people focused on him. Some people told him that he would play well, and some people said that he would be a great player. Said they would be holding the mattress when the time came. Run after him below to prevent him from falling.

This made him feel so stressed that he had to run to the library to escape the gossip. After entering the library, Harry started studying with everyone under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere. However, after accompanying him a few times, Ron felt that the library was too quiet and refused to come with him again.

In order to avoid the noisy crowd, Harry tried to hide in the library whenever he had time during this period, and refused to go out even after finishing his homework. Seeing that Harry was a little too nervous, Hermione, who had met him before at Hagrid's place, simply recommended a book on Quidditch to him. According to Hermione, sometimes reading more books can relax you.

Hugo didn't think Hermione's decompression method was useful to Harry, but the strange thing was that Harry did become quiet after getting the book, and then sat quietly next to Hugo's table. Looked up.

"Actually, Harry's academic level is pretty good." Looking at Harry who was reading quietly next to him, Veneto said to Hugo through the Admiral Network, "Think about Harry's score in the O.W.LS exam, although it is not He's extremely good but definitely not bad. So he's not the kind of person you might imagine who doesn't like reading."

"You are right, I was negligent." At this moment, Hugo suddenly realized that there was not much description of Harry's study content in the original text, so he subconsciously applied the general academic level of students on the football team in American high schools. On to Harry.

But thinking about it carefully, except for Harry's score in Snape's Potions class, which was always lower due to the professor's bias, his performance in other classes didn't look very bad. For example, it can be seen from some of the descriptions of exams in the original text that his academic level is pretty good.

No matter how everyone discussed it, Harry, who was at the center of the discussion, was nervous. The Quidditch match started as scheduled. It's a Saturday morning. The weather was sunny and cold. The restaurant was filled with the enticing smell of grilled sausages, and everyone was looking forward to a wonderful Quidditch game and chatting happily.

For example, Zhang Qiu began to analyze the level of the players on both sides of the game and the possible final results to every Ravenclaw student sitting at the table who was willing to listen to him. According to Marietta, she also placed a bet on the Weasley twins.

"Sister Zhang." Hugo asked when Zhang Qiu's analysis came to an end, "Can you tell us who you bet on this time?"

"Slytherin." Zhang Qiu said. "Although I hate Slytherin and support Gryffindor from the bottom of my heart, based on the results of previous years, they have always been stronger than the Gryffindor team. So for pocket money, I still bet on Slytherin. Letling.”

"But I will cheer for Gryffindor on the field." After saying that, Zhang Qiu took out a gold and red banner from his pocket with words to cheer for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. .

"Okay, this is also a choice." Hugo felt speechless about her choice, but he still hoped that his senior sister would not bet too much money.
