"Are you going to Hagrid's place tomorrow, Saturday?" Hermione asked Harry during breakfast on Friday morning.
"Yes, I have to see Andrew. I don't know if the child is doing well in Black Lake!" Harry nodded.
"Andrew, who is that?" Cedric heard their conversation and asked curiously.
"A white sea lion is not a magical animal. Since it is inconvenient for me to keep it, I gave it to Hagrid!" Harry explained.
"White sea lion? It sounds very rare, but unfortunately, I have to participate in Quidditch training tomorrow." Cedric said with some regret.
"Haha, there will definitely be a chance. Andrew has always been in the Black Lake, living with the mermaid." Harry said with a smile.
"Mermaid? What you said makes me more interested. Speaking of Harry, have you ever thought about joining the Quidditch team? After all, your father was the best Seeker in the school back then." Cedric asked.
Regarding James Potter, Harry knew more than before, so he had seen his father's trophy in the trophy room early. Hermione also mentioned this during the previous chat.
So Cedric naturally knew that as a player of the Hufflepuff team, it was normal for him to have the idea of recruiting Harry to the Quidditch team (he is not the captain yet).
"Sorry, Cedric, actually I haven't had much exposure to Quidditch before, and freshmen can't join the Quidditch team, right?" Harry shrugged and pointed to Slytherin House not far away. In the seating area, Malfoy was talking about flying and complaining about his first year not being eligible to join the House Quidditch team.
"In fact, the college does not have a clear rule on this... The college only clearly stipulates that first-year students cannot use broomsticks without authorization. The so-called inability to join the Quidditch team is just a tacit agreement formed under this rule. ! If you have an idea, I can apply to Professor Sprout!" Looking at Malfoy, Cedric shook his head, then lowered his head and whispered to Harry.
"...Is that so?" Harry looked at Miss Know-It-All next to him with confused eyes.
"It looks like..." Hermione, who had already memorized the school rules by heart, couldn't help but blinked when she heard this. Although everyone said that first-year students were not allowed to participate in Quidditch competitions, this rule was not clearly stated in the school rules. .
"If that's the case, then I will think about it carefully!" Although Harry in this time and space has never been exposed to Quidditch, because of John, he has already been exposed to flying early - although riding It's not a broom.
Harry was also really interested in flying.
Maybe try it.
But before that, he thought it would be better to seek John's advice.
"Of course, you can tell me anytime you think about it!" Cedric nodded.
Early on Saturday morning, Harry and Hermione took Neville to Hagrid's hut.
But when they arrived, they found that John was also here, and was still training Hagrid...
"Good morning, John, good morning, Hagrid!" the two children greeted the two of them respectively.
"Has Principal Dumbledore agreed to Hagrid's training in the Holy Light?" Hermione asked after greeting him.
"Of course, you came just in time, let me see if you guys have been slacking off this week!" John, who had long guessed that the two children would come to see Hagrid today, had a "kind" smile on his face.
For a professor, Hogwarts' teaching tasks are still very tight, so John really doesn't have time to pay attention to the "schoolwork" of several children.
But on weekends, don't blame John for being rude.
"Oh no..." After hearing John's words, Hermione and Harry were okay, but Harry and Neville couldn't help but lamented.
They are boys after all, and even though their minds have become a little more mature than those of their peers under John's guidance because of their own experiences, it is still fun.
They thought they could relax during the weekend, but they didn't expect that John would be waiting for them here.
"Don't worry, I won't be too strict with you... I just hope you won't be too slack... If you behave well, then I can take you to Hogsmeade tomorrow!" John naturally knows their psychology. , and immediately scattered the bait with a smile.
"Really?" Upon hearing John's words, the three children's eyes instantly lit up.
That was Hogsmeade, the only pure wizarding village in the UK, and they had been famous for a long time.
However, students below the third grade are not allowed to go there, and even if they are in the third grade, they must have a guardian's signature before they can go there.
But being led by John, a professor and parent, that was a different story.
"Have I lied to you?" John asked.
"Oh yeah!!!" Harry and Hermione cheered immediately, and Neville was also looking silly.
Neville felt that the days spent with these two friends were happier than he had been in the past ten years.
Then John began to examine several children.
Among them, the school examination for Neville and Hermione was relatively simple. After all, Neville had only mastered the Holy Light for a few days, and the requirement for Hermione was only a priest, so he just checked their Holy Light intensity to confirm that they were in school. In my spare time, I also meditate.
Harry took the test for a bit more. In addition to the strength of the Holy Light, there was also some basic martial arts and physical fitness - these were taught by John in the month before school started.
"Not bad. In the morning, you are allowed to go and play with Andrew. In the afternoon, you will teach Neville swordsmanship. I will also inspect it then!" After some assessment, John confirmed that none of the children had any Lazy, very satisfied, immediately handed over his conch that summoned the fishman to Harry.
Harry couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Fortunately, during this period, Hermione supervised him getting up for morning exercises every day (although girls could not enter the boys' dormitory, Hermione said she could let the owl peck at Harry's window) otherwise, he might have stretched his crotch today... For students He said that the course time is actually relatively relaxed. The morning courses do not start until nine o'clock, so they have plenty of time for morning exercises.
But if Hermione hadn't been supervising Harry all the time, he might have slept like the other students until the beginning of class.
He still complained to Hermione in his mind about this.
But now he felt nothing but gratitude for Hermione.
Otherwise, if he fails John's assessment, God knows how the other party will train him.
After the three children left, John resumed training Hagrid.
John was quite concerned about cultivating Hagrid into a paladin.
This guy's talent for Holy Light may be average, but his physique is really suitable for a melee profession. Becoming a wizard is simply a waste of talent.
Think about Hagrid putting on heavy armor, carrying a heavy shield, wielding heavy weapons, and then adding diaphragms to these equipment. It is simply more tank than a tank.
Even if he can't learn Holy Light on his own, as long as he finds a priest to bless him, he will still be a super MT.
