Although the Gryffindor team members were very angry, it was obvious that Slytherin's Dean Snape also supported their team. The weather these days was too bad, which was not conducive to the performance of the Slytherin team, which relied on "tactics" to win. .
However, although Lupine was still in the hospital bed, the substitute teacher was not replaced by Snape, but by Bai Lin. He did not really catch a dark creature for everyone to practice like Lupine did, but used funny language Teach children tactical thinking and coordination. If this kind of theoretical course is taught by Professor Flitwick, the children will definitely be scared to listen. But everyone likes Bai Lin. In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class Very successful.
"I think you are very suitable to be a teacher!" Catherine said to Bai Lin as she stood outside the door to welcome the end of get out of class.
The two gave a big hug. After putting Catherine down, Bai Lin said hello to Harry and motioned for him to come to the staff lounge.
Although the Gryffindor students were the enemies of the Hufflepuff team the next day, Bai Lin still asked Harry to come to the lounge of Hufflepuff House to avoid a confrontation with Snape, who was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. Although Bai Lin was not afraid of him at all, his main energy was still on the next day's actions.
In the staff lounge, Harry met Black, who had been reclusive for the past few days, and Lupine, who had just come down from the hospital bed. The only surprise was that the onion-nosed Auror Lauter Archer was also in the lounge, drinking black tea. , chatting happily with Blake, as if he had forgotten that they were life-or-death enemies just a few days ago.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Bai Lin closed the door and nodded to Lauter: "Gentlemen, today we are mainly discussing some unexpected defense and disposal work tomorrow. We are honored to invite Lord Lauter to participate in this operation."
"Well, I'm sorry, Professor, but I have a Quidditch match tomorrow?" Harry said weakly.
Bai Lin smiled and nodded at him: "You can just participate in the competition normally, but I need to remind you to pay attention to a few points, which I will talk about later."
Bai Lin took out a blackboard, and Catherine quickly drew a map of the Quidditch field. Bai Lin said, "As we all know, I have gained some talents through years of research." Black rolled his eyes.
"For example, divination, maybe I opened my eyes like Professor Trelawney. In short, I predict that there will be some accidents tomorrow, so I need the help of all gentlemen and ladies. We can appear in time and avoid the impact of accidents on the children. The damage, oh, I mean the impact on the game."
Bai Lin took chalk and drew a few circles on several key points on the Quidditch pitch, and marked the initials of several people's names and said: "Tomorrow, everyone will follow these positions and happily watch Harry's game together. By the way, I shouldn’t cheer for you, I’m a Hufflepuff haha,”
Bai Lin smiled easily and said: "If anything unusual happens during the game, I mean if the Dementors who have not evacuated Hogwarts show up, everyone will disperse them as soon as possible. Okay, as for the direction, just drive them towards the Forbidden Forest!"
Harry said with a nervous look on his face: "Will Dementors really appear? For what reason?"
Bai Lin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Remember our special training, be fully prepared to face uncertain challenges. If they don't come, it will be over. If they come, I will definitely make them look good!"
When Harry woke up the next morning, he almost thought it was still night. There was a violent wind and heavy rain outside. He met his teammates in the ballroom.
Wood's face was solemn, but he was still very confident in the game. Of course, his confidence mainly came from Harry's new broom "Firebolt". And it was learned that Bai Lin did not lend his Firebolt to the Hufflepuff team members.
Quidditch is the number one sport at Hogwarts. All the teachers and students in the school came out to watch the game as usual. They all held big umbrellas, but they often had to prevent their umbrellas from being blown over by strong winds.
Harry and his teammates put on bright red jerseys, and Wood gave everyone an impassioned pre-game mobilization as usual. Everyone held hands together, shouted slogans, and walked onto the field in the heavy rain.
The rain hit Harry's glasses, and he was a little troubled. How could he see the Golden Snitch clearly? Fortunately, when passing by the stands, Hermione came out from the side and applied a "waterproof and moisture-proof" to his eyes. Harry thanked Hermione gratefully, but there was a thunder and Hermione didn't hear anything.
The Hufflepuff players, wearing light yellow uniforms, walked from across the field. Hufflepuff had the largest number of students, and the cheers once exceeded those of Gryffindor. After the captains on both sides shook hands, Ms. Hoch motioned for everyone to mount their brooms, and Harry skillfully turned over and mounted the Firebolt.
Ms. Hodge blew her whistle and the game began.
Harry was quickly soaked through and felt the coldness of the winter rain all over his body. However, he was full of fighting spirit and full of strength. He quickly shuttled back and forth over the court, passing red or light yellow figures from time to time, but he Time still hasn’t found the snitch. The rain is so heavy that many players may not be able to tell the difference between teammates and opponents.
Despite this, the Gryffindor players showed their fighting spirit and took the lead. Hufflepuff also showed their loyalty and kindness. Although they were at a disadvantage, they did not commit any flagrant fouls.
Ms. Hodge blew a whistle as Wood called a timeout, and Harry and the players descended from the sky.
During the descent, he happened to see Bai Lin give him an encouraging gesture, but Bai Lin was still wearing the Hufflepuff team robe, and even had a huge hat with an exaggerated image of a badger on his head. He looked playful and funny, which was just right. Opposite Hagrid, wearing a lion hat, sitting in the Gryffindor stand.
The team members crowded under a certain big umbrella, and Harry asked: "How's the score?"
"Fifty points ahead of them," Wood said: "But the vision is too poor, maybe it's a bit difficult, but if Harry doesn't catch the snitch, we may have to compete into the night, and our physical strength will be exhausted a bit fast."
Fred pursed his lips and said, "Hufflepuff is too disciplined, and we can't even make free throws." He and George often used each other's fouls to make free throws.
Wood said: "Don't think about free throws. We will play openly. Everyone must be prepared for a long game. I will guard the goal."
Harry nodded and said: "I just mastered the trick, don't worry, I will find the snitch!"
Wood nodded, adjusted his formation slightly, and then signaled to Ms. Hodge that the game could continue. Harry rode the Firebolt and rushed into the air at a rapid speed, once again causing cheers from the Gryffindor stands. Black, who was standing in the corner of the back row, also waved his hands desperately, wanting to tell others, "That's my godson, that's my godson." My godson!” The parent’s sense of déjà vu.
