Admiral of Hogwarts

October ended in a violent storm, and November came. It was as cold as frozen iron, with a layer of hard frost every morning, and the icy wind cut hands and cheeks.

The sky and the ceiling of the auditorium turned a light blue-grey, the mountains around Hogwarts put on snow caps, the temperature in the castle dropped so much, and many students wore thick hats when taking a break in the corridor between classes. Thick dragonhide gloves.

"Why do wizards like to hold Quidditch matches at this time? It's already freezing cold on the ground, and it will be even worse when flying in the air." Hermione rubbed her hands and complained as she walked towards the Quidditch pitch.

Although she is now a ship girl, the ordinary climate does not affect her feelings, but some of her previous habits as a human still subconsciously made her complain about today's weather.

"No way, for Hogwarts students, there are only a few activities that the whole school can participate in, and compared to exams, Quidditch is obviously the only one that can make everyone excited." Hugo smiled. Speaking of which.

"Especially after this old woman came this year, everyone is very depressed. So the students even hope that this competition can come earlier so that everyone can relax a little."

In fact, Hermione is not the only one complaining now. For example, Gryffindor is also complaining because the first game is going to be played today, because Ron's performance at the dinner table this morning can be said to be miserable.

Except for Slytherin, who habitually sits together, students from other houses often sit together, so when Hugo sat down, he was next to him except Luna, who was familiar with Hermione and Veneto. , and Ginny from Gryffindor.

"What's wrong, Ginny? You don't look in a good mood." Hermione asked enthusiastically, because Ginny almost seemed to have the word "unhappiness" written on her face now, and her face was extremely ugly.

"Don't mention it, my brother is really embarrassing." Seeing that her friend was willing to listen, Ginny immediately poured out her inner dissatisfaction to Hermione.

"You also know that today is the first time my brother Ron has participated in the competition. As a result, he was shaking all over and his hands and feet were cold just now. To be honest, Harry participated in the Triwizard Tournament last year and was not so scared before the first game."

"Maybe I was just a little too nervous for the first competition." Hugo consoled him. "Maybe you can adapt to that environment after you play. After all, I think your brothers who are on the Quidditch team are pretty good."

"Actually, my parents were also members of the Quidditch team back then, so I hope my brother will never be embarrassed." Ginny shrugged. "After all, so far, our family's level of playing Quidditch is pretty good."

The game started soon. After a series of dodges and passes, the Gryffindor players launched the attack first. Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by Slytherin goalkeeper Blake.

Next, Slytherin launched an attack, and at this moment, the singing from the stand where the Slytherin students were sitting from the beginning of the game became increasingly clear.

"——Weasley is that little fool, he won't block a ball, the Slytherins sing loudly, Weasley is our king. Weasley was born in a dustbin, he always puts the ball into the goal , Weasley ensures that I win this game, Weasley is our king."

Quidditch is somewhat similar to rugby and basketball, so using all kinds of trash talk to interfere with the opponent's players is also part of the game. Naturally, the team members are well aware of this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, Ron didn't seem to be used to this kind of situation. Hugo could see that the two balls that could theoretically be saved were missed by him.

And as the singing from the Slytherin side got louder and louder, Ron's actions seemed to get worse and worse. Fortunately, at this time, Harry seemed to have discovered something and dived towards the Slytherin half.

As a seeker, Malfoy was also good, but he was inferior to Harry in terms of skills and broom skills, so in the end, Harry succeeded in catching the Golden Snitch.

It was at this time that Crabbe perfectly embodied the character and quality of a pureblood: just as the final whistle had blown, he hit Harry in the lower back with a Bludger.

The next scene even more reflects the so-called superior pure-blood qualities: Malfoy directly insulted Ron's mother and Harry's mother in front of their faces, which directly resulted in a group fight. Fortunately, Mrs. Hooch succeeded. separated them.

"It seems that Harry and the others are going to be in confinement today." Looking at the few people heading to Professor McGonagall's office with their heads hanging down, Hermione shook her head and said, "Impulse is the devil!"

"Confinement? I think you have thought of various situations too well. Don't forget that the old woman has been looking for opportunities, and this group fight is just an excuse." Hugo raised his eyebrows and said.

"Lifetime ban, this is simply——" By the time they had lunch, everyone knew the final result of this group fight. To be honest, it was obviously a bit too heavy-handed.

"The core is not this, the core is that the old woman now has "Education Order No. 25." Hugo said, tapping the table with his finger.

"According to this order, the Senior Inquisitor will henceforth have the ultimate authority over all punishments, sanctions, and deprivations involving Hogwarts students, and will have the power to modify such punishments, sanctions, and deprivations imposed by other faculty members. .”

"That is to say, school professors will lose the right to reward and punish students in the future, and this power is concentrated in the hands of Umbridge." Veneto touched his chin and said, "It shows that the Ministry of Magic has obtained the right to reward and punish students from Hogg." Watts has taken away another right.”

"With this move, the other party has seized the initiative." Hugo added from the side. "Don't forget, now that Umbridge has eliminated Gryffindor's Seeker and Beater, it gives Dumbledore an extra boost."

The reason why I say this is because Umbridge had been forming the Quidditch team in Gryffindor until Dumbledore finally gave the order and was reluctantly released.

Therefore, in Umbridge's view, the Gryffindor team is the duel between herself and Dumbledore, so defeating the Gryffindor team is where she shows her power to the principal.

"By the way, after the game. What about Crabbe hitting the Bludger after the whistle? Did she ban him?" At this point, Hermione asked as if she remembered something.

"No," Hugo shook his head. "He was only punished to write sentences, I heard Montague said with a smile while eating. Obviously Umbridge has made her hostility obvious and is not even willing to hide it."

"This is normal. Those purebloods who have occupied a good position have never concealed their hostility towards us." Veneto interrupted at this time. “And that’s what everything we do is about.”

"You're right, this is indeed as simple as I thought before." Hermione sighed. "And I don't think these purebloods are willing to share the profits, so we will face a bloody future."

After hearing this, several people fell silent for a while, but soon, Hugo, who was looking out the window, noticed a faint smoke rising from Hagrid's hut, which had been empty before.
