The selection of the Gryffindor goalkeeper is on Friday night, while Ravenclaw is on Saturday morning. If Luna thinks that Ron is selected first, then the pressure on herself will be great, especially Fred has been saying If she wasn't as good as Ron then there was no need to insist on Quidditch.

"Don't care about what he said, he doesn't want you to be bullied by Ravenclaw players again." George told Luna secretly.

But Luna didn't really care about Fred's blow, she knew how much Fred believed in herself, but she was still a little nervous about this Quidditch selection.

Now Luna Lovegood is not as rejected by Ravenclaw as before. She is very smart and has good grades. The 14-year-old Luna already has some color, and boys often come to say hello.Although Luna still can't get along well with those roommates, she won't stay in the dormitory except for sleeping time. She goes back to the room at the latest and leaves at the earliest every day. She almost forgets about Lara Alko Turner looked contemptuously.

"Good morning." Qiu Zhang said to Luna with a smile.

As soon as Luna got down to the lounge, she saw Qiu Zhang was also here.

"Hello." Luna quickly returned a smile.

"Hehe, are you going to participate in the selection today?"

"Well, yes, I'd like to take Chaser."

"Then you have to work hard. I heard from the captain that there are so many applicants for the selection this time, of course because we have vacated three positions! I hope you can be selected." Qiu Zhang said very sincerely.

Luna was flattered, "Thank you, I will work hard."

"Shall we go to breakfast together?"

Luna couldn't believe that Cho Chang was being so polite to her all of a sudden, but she had a vague suspicion that maybe Harry was in luck.

Sure enough, when he was walking towards the auditorium, Qiu asked, "How is Harry? The Daily Prophet always speaks ill of him, which makes the students somewhat reject him. How is he?"

"Oh, he doesn't care much about it," Luna said, but she quickly realized that she shouldn't show that she knew Harry very well in front of Cho, and quickly continued, "I heard from Ron, Ron Way Sly, actually, I don’t know Harry very well, but my house is very close to the Weasley’s house, and Harry often goes to Ron’s house to play during holidays, so I often hear Ron talk about Harry.”

Luna didn't know if she explained too badly, but Qiu didn't say anything.

Luna has always felt that Cho is almost one of the most beautiful girls in Ravenclaw, and Harry likes her so much, so if possible, she would like to help match the two, but right now there are still too many. Think about the selection for a while, and think about the rest after you are selected.

Ravenclaw's selection this year is much more formal than when Luna came to the election in her second year, at least for Luna, because no one will be bored to cast any messy spells on her anymore.

The selection starts with the goalkeeper, then the batsman, and finally the chaser.

There are as many as ten candidates for the Chaser, and it is not easy for Luna to stand out from the crowd.

But Luna is really good at flying, she is sensitive in movement, and she is quite accurate in throwing the ball. (This may be because the goalkeeper is newly selected and has not been trained much.)

Luna didn't know if the twins in this selection were hiding in the distant sky and watching secretly like the year before, so after the selection was over, she turned down the invitation for the Ravenclaw players to go to the lounge to celebrate, Flying alone to the tower of astronomy, she did not wait a few seconds before seeing two figures descending.

"Sure enough, you peeked again," Luna pretended to be dissatisfied, "Aren't you afraid that I will sue?"

"Peeking is a must," Fred said, taking it for granted, "You are about to become our team's opponent, what can you do if you don't see clearly?"

George laughed, "You won't complain, but we all saw that you flew very well today. I'm surprised that the Ravenclaws didn't make it difficult for you."

Luna also smiled, "However, if you think about it carefully, I will compete with you sooner or later, and I will surprise you even more. Isn't Gryffindor always winning? Maybe they lost to Ravenclaw this year." !"

Fred raised his eyebrows, "Really? How about we compare now?"

On Saturday morning, Luna and the twins stayed in the astronomy tower. The twins brought a lot of snacks from the kitchen, but Luna almost threw up while eating, because she saw Fred demonstrate their truancy candy vomit candy .

"I don't think I can help you promote these things in Ravenclaw." Luna looked at Fred's vomit after eating the vomit sugar just now, and suppressed the nausea and used the removal spell to get them out Gone.

"Why not?" Fred said, "Luna, look at your current image, you are so beautiful, you have good grades, and you are a member of the Quidditch team. Those lower grades must admire you to death, you If you sell them something, they'll be crazy for it."

Luna shook her head helplessly, "Even if you compliment me, it's useless. If other things are fine, you should know that no Ravenclaw would want to skip class, even Professor Binns' History of Magic, Everyone will listen carefully as if they were reviewing their homework."

For the sake of Weasley's Whiz Workshop, the twins are also thinking of various ideas. In fact, they often discussed a problem during the summer, that is, whether they will go back to school this year, because they already have funds (one thousand Galleons given by Harry) , so they are fully capable of opening a store in Diagon Alley, but later the twins decided to go back to school. They wanted to do a good market research in the last year to see what kind of things would be popular, and they The most things I made in a summer are all kinds of class skipping candies.

"By the way, have you read the latest issue of the Daily Prophet?" George took a newspaper from under his robe.

"Obviously I didn't." Luna shrugged, she never took the initiative to read the "Daily Prophet"

"We published our products on it." Fred said, "Through newspaper publicity, it may have a good effect. Today, an acquaintance of ours was published in the newspaper."

Luna saw the oversized photo on the first page of the newspaper at a glance, "Sturgis Podmore?"

This was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, whom Luna had seen a few times during the holidays, a wizard with hair like a pile of straw.On the first day of school, he was supposed to be in the team escorting Harry, but they didn't see him until they were almost too late to catch the train. After that, Luna and others didn't hear about him at school.It's just that the newspapers now say that he illegally broke into the Ministry of Magic and attempted to steal on August 8st (the day everyone arrived at the school by train), and he had been caught and sentenced to six months of rape in Azkaban.

"Prison him, but he belongs to the Order of the Phoenix," Luna whispered. "Could the Ministry of Magic know that he is working for Dumbledore?"

"We also made a rough guess," Fred said. "We think he might have been captured for invading the Ministry of Magic. After all, if he was working for the Order of the Phoenix that day, then those adults should know about it, and they wouldn't." I'm waiting for him there."

"Did the mysterious man do it?" Luna felt a little hairy in her heart. If Sturgis was really captured by the mysterious man, then what he knew...

I don't know how the Order of the Phoenix will deal with this matter, but it is definitely not silent, which can be seen from Sirius' swift action.

In front of the auditorium, a large notice was pasted next to the scoring hourglass of each courtyard.

"Fighting Club! Start tonight? It's so handsome!" Luna heard excited discussions everywhere.

To be honest, Luna was very excited when she saw the notice saying that the fighting club was going to start. They really need more skills to prepare for the future.

"Is this reliable?" It was Ron's voice, and he, Hermione, and Harry also came here.

"Hello."

"Hi, Luna," Hermione hugged her excitedly, "I haven't congratulated you yet on being selected into the team! You're amazing!"

Luna grinned, "Hey, thank you."

They began to talk about this fighting club. In fact, when Luna was in the first grade, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart held a fighting club, which was only for the second grade and above. Naturally, Luna did not participate, but I heard that It was a scene that seemed like a prank, and it exposed Harry's Parseltongue.

"But it was that Lockhart," Harry said. "Everyone knows how unreliable he is. Maybe this year is different. Maybe it's Sirius!"

In the evening, this was indeed confirmed.

The location of the Fighting Club was in a very large basement, not much smaller than the auditorium. Standing on the center stage were Sirius and Professor Flitwick.

"Everyone knows that we are facing some dangers." Sirius said seriously, "so some fighting skills are absolutely necessary at this time, each of you needs to do your best to knock down the opponent in front of you tonight. "

Luna was a little scared. She didn't know how that toad Umbridge would react when she heard such words. She had been targeting Sirius, which might cause him trouble, but it was strange that Umbridge Richie hadn't been around since dinnertime, wondering if she'd left Hogwarts or was messing with someone else.

Sirius and Professor Flitwick demonstrated it to everyone first. Flitwick won the fighting championship when he was young, and Sirius was good enough even without any trophy or other things to prove that he was good enough. Although they only used it repeatedly A few spells, but already made the fight look exciting.

A few minutes later, both of them stopped, and there was no winner. Maybe they were both teachers, so they just clicked.

"Now divide into groups of two, and you should pay attention. The only attack spells that can be used tonight are disarming spells, stun spells, and impeding spells. If anyone dares to do any evil spells, I will hang him upside down outside the castle all night." Sirius glanced at the students below with sharp eyes, "If anyone is unfortunately injured, please come to me immediately."

When Sirius was serious, he would have a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, so he didn't dare to talk about the Slytherins even if he didn't complain to Professor Snape.

"I'm afraid of bullying you." Fred pretended to be contemptuous.

Luna raised her head, "It's best if you underestimate the enemy, it will be easier for me to win."

Because it is a free group, Luna and Fred are in a group, George is in a group with Lee Jordan, Harry is in a group with Ron, and Hermione is in a group with Neville.

"Luna, why aren't you with Ginny?" Ron asked. At this time, Ginny was standing some distance away from them, and a boy was opposite her.

Luna glanced at Ginny and her opponent, "He belongs to Ravenclaw, he seems to be called Mike."

"Michael Conner, Ravenclaw's sixth year," Hermione continued, "he's Ginny's boyfriend."

"What?!" Ron yelled directly, causing Sirius to look over.

"Okay, Ron, let's talk when we get back," Harry said hastily. "I don't want Sirius to see that we haven't had a good fight."

In fact, Luna was also quite surprised. She didn't know that Ginny had already found a boyfriend. She always thought that Ginny still liked Harry.

"If you don't concentrate..." Fred said slowly, "Disarm you."

"Layers of protection!" Luna shouted quickly, because Fred cast the disarming spell very slowly, so Luna's protective spell blocked Fred's attack very well.

"not bad."

Luna curled her lips, just now Fred clearly recited the spell slowly on purpose, "Stop looking down on me, since it's a fight, you have to be serious and disarm you!"

Luna yelled, but before she finished chanting the spell, a person next to her bumped into her!

I saw Fred dodge lightly, and waved his wand at Luna again, "Layers of protection."

Neville, who was knocked down by Hermione's stunning spell, fell to the other side when he was about to hit Luna.

Fred was even more proud, "How is it?"

Luna felt that her face was going to turn red, obviously she was going to attack Fred, but he not only easily dodged, but also saved herself easily, Luna didn't look at the proud Fred, turned around Shouted to Neville who fell on the ground, "Resuscitate quickly."

Soon, wands began to fly all over the basement, and from time to time, some people fell under the stun spell. Luna finally succeeded in disarming Fred's wand after half an hour, but only that time.

Sirius and Professor Flitwick looked back and forth among the students, giving pointers from time to time. At around nine o'clock, an unexpected thing happened.

"Bang—" There was a loud noise, and the door of the dungeon was blasted open. Everyone was shocked, and there was the pink Umbridge standing outside the door.

Sirius was going to lose his temper, at least until Umbridge pulled out that letter of inauguration.

"I have been notified that the Ministry of Magic has appointed me, Dolores Jane Umbridge, as the Supreme Commander of Hogwarts." Umbridge raised her head high, even though it did not appear that she was How much higher than usual, "I have to regret to tell you that illegal operations are coming to an end, all organizations and teams in Hogwarts must be completely stopped, the person who planned tonight's activities, Sirius Black, you need to accept suspension Watch, other participants, I will give corresponding punishment as soon as possible."

Luna felt like her brain was about to explode. She really didn't want to believe that this woman from the Ministry of Magic could get such great power.

Sirius looked at Umbridge as if he was admiring a toad. After listening to Umbridge patiently, he was no longer angry. Maybe he didn't want to cause any trouble for Hogwarts.

But Umbridge's presence is already the biggest problem at Hogwarts.
