After entering November, the weather becomes very cold. The mountains around the school are gray and covered with ice and snow. The lake surface is as cold and hard as quenched steel. However, at this time, the Hogwarts Black Lake will appear. Special acrobatics show in winter.
Whenever the sun rises to its highest point, there will be a loud noise from the lake. Tentacles thicker than a human waist will break a piece of ice in the southwest. The super-large squid living in the black lake will break the ice frozen at night. It was thick and solid ice, and soon Hagrid would pull the sleigh there, and then drag back a load of black lake herring that tasted great.
When Hagrid was using the fishing net to carry goods, the giant squid would also do acrobatics by throwing ice cubes with its tentacles. Ice cubes weighing hundreds of kilograms would be thrown around in the sky. Sometimes it would accidentally miss Hagrid's A big hat made of solid ice would be put on his forehead. Most of the time, Hagrid didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, except for one time when Squidward made a mistake and accidentally threw Hagrid into the lake. , then they saw a fountain wave tens of meters high suddenly exploded in the black lake. After Hagrid crawled out of the lake cursing, that afternoon, the little wizards ate the charcoal grill made by the elves. The big squid has a chewy texture and is quite delicious.
In the winter, the food at Hogwarts is a notch better than before. The students who eat and drink every day have gained weight without knowing it, but soon, the calorie reserves accumulated at this moment are about to be used up, because Kui Ditch season has begun.
After more than two months of training, Harry is about to make his Quidditch debut at Hogwarts. As the captain, Chris Sousa is particularly excited this year and cares more about this year than ever before. In the previous Quidditch match, Hufflepuff had always been a runner.
Not to mention Slytherin. They have won the Quidditch Cup for seven consecutive years. They are quite strong. Although a large part of the credit comes from their unscrupulous and shameless behavior, such as deliberately bumping into people on the court due to their physical strength. It's all trivial. They have always maintained a "good tradition" of playing dirty tricks off the field, and this group of gorillas also euphemistically call it special operations.
It is hard not to doubt that the former captain of Gryffindor, Charlie Weasley, was able to achieve impressive results in the individual competition of the Triwizard Tournament. Perhaps part of this actually came from Slytherin's contribution. ', after all, before the game, you have to be careful to see if a bunch of ill-intentioned strong men will suddenly pop up at any corner and chant curses on you. Charlie can easily avoid the sneak attack of the Melanosaurus, and he is probably the one who was attacked. There are too many evil men, and the body has already developed conditioned reflexes.
If you can't use black methods in and out of the game, then Gryffindor will definitely be Hufflepuff's biggest opponent. As the hardest-trained team among the four academy teams, Gryffindor's players are very skilled in technology. It can be said that it is impeccable. Although Gryffindor House, known as the champion warrior, is rich in thorns, it is also rich in fearless top soldiers. Sharp attacks are the sharp knives in their hands. In addition to the constant black hands Except for Slytherin, it was difficult for other teams to cope with their sharp offensive.
But you can’t underestimate Ravenclaw. Although they rank last among the four colleges in terms of military force, don’t forget that Ravenclaw is the college that brings together the most intelligent people in Hogwarts. In order to compete in Quidditch, In order to achieve good results in the competition, in order to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, they also formed a think tank specifically to serve the competition, specializing in studying the weaknesses of each college and designing tactics.
If the person with the blackest hands is Slytherin, then the person with the cruelest heart must be Ravenclaw.
In previous years' competitions, the only house that had a chance to defeat Slytherin and win the championship was them. If it weren't for Slytherin's gorilla who decided to kill the then captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team after realizing that something was wrong. He was knocked unconscious by the main goal scorer and locked up in a septic tank for a whole night. The outcome of that game was still a matter of debate.
As a house that has no presence in Hogwarts all year round, Hufflepuff's Quidditch team has always been under heavy pressure. Although they usually act low-key and be kind to others, what teenager doesn't want to gain something on the Quidditch field? The cheers and admiration of countless people?
The young mind should not be suppressed. After so many years of silence, it is time for Hufflepuff to usher in the most majestic and shining era.
It was the first Saturday after Halloween. At 11 noon, the stands of the Quidditch stadium were already full of people. The students were wearing Hogwarts winter uniforms and scarves in the colors of their respective houses. , even if the cold wind in winter makes people shiver, it still cannot dissipate the warm atmosphere lingering on the court.
In the preparation room below, the players wearing yellow and black striped Quidditch uniforms were ready to go. Before passing through the lounge door and officially entering the field, Chris, the captain, looked at everyone seriously.
"I don't want to repeat the past, because that is all sad history. Hufflepuff has not touched the Quidditch Championship Trophy for eleven years. This is a shameful thing."
"I don't want to use words like 'They have tried their best' to deceive themselves. It is a fact that our skills are inferior to others. We were indeed weak before."
"Where are we weak? We are weak because we are used to being mediocre, and we are weak because we are used to not competing with others."
"This is supposed to be the virtue of humility, but on the Quidditch field! There is no virtue! There is only victory and defeat!"
Chris's yelling echoed in the player preparation room, and his expression had a hint of ferocity. He looked like an angry guy with a flat head who was already on his way to fight.
"This year! This is the first year that I become the Quidditch captain! It is also the first year that Hufflepuff leaves the past behind and creates new history!"
"We have added new blood! Our team has been injected with vitality, sweeping away the previous decadence!"
"Cedric Diggory! Our new Seeker! I guarantee he will be one of the best Seekers Hogwarts has ever produced!"
The handsome boy pointed at by Chris scratched his head shyly, "Chris, you are too..."
"This is not the time to be humble, Ced." Chris interrupted Cedric with a wave of his hand, "You have the talent and the hard work to match others. You will definitely shine on the field. Yes, I believe in you, and I also hope you believe in yourself!"
After meeting Chris's gaze, Seid nodded silently, "I will try my best."
"very good."
Chris stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on Ced's collar, then turned his gaze to one side, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"And another surprise is that we have Harry!"
"Just like you told me last night, Harry."
Chris knew very well that Harry didn't need any words of encouragement from him. He turned around handsomely and reached out to push open the door that blocked the wind and snow.
"Kill them! No matter who the opponent is!"
