Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh true honor
The next morning, the weather was sunny and slightly cool.
The auditorium was filled with the enticing aroma of grilled sausages. All the teachers and students in the school were discussing in low voices the upcoming Quidditch Cup final today. Everyone was looking forward to a wonderful Quidditch match and chatted happily non-stop.
.
The members of the freshman team were not separated at the dining tables of each house as usual. Instead, they were all crowded at the end of the long Hufflepuff dining table with Elena as the center. They all looked nervous and taciturn.
The notice about the position adjustment of Elena Kaslana has been announced. In the eyes of most students, the finals, which had a huge disparity in winning and losing ratios, have once again returned to an evenly matched situation - when the first-year freshman representative team finally
When the sharp offensive spearhead turns into a shield, all the results become exciting again.
As the young wizards of the freshmen team walked into the auditorium, in addition to Slytherin House, students from the other three houses were applauding and cheering them as if they were the Quidditch teams of their respective houses.
However, the Slytherin house was full of cynicism.
"Traitor! Get out!"
"If I were you, I should have applied to withdraw from the competition yesterday!"
"Bah! Shame on Slytherin."
Perhaps because of the shadow left by the three-headed dog blocking the door not long ago, most of the attacks fell on Draco, Goyle and Crabbe. Elena noticed that Malfoy's face was
Usually paler.
Goyle and Crabbe had been immersed in breakfast and did not dare to turn their heads to look at the Slytherin table next door.
It seems that after the game, I need to live in Slytherin House for a while...
Elena glanced at the faces of Draco Malfoy and the long tables in Slytherin House. She did not choose to respond at this time, but just remembered it silently in her heart.
Several faces.
Just like Hufflepuff did not fully understand the meaning of "friendliness", Slytherin Academy, which experienced the Voldemort period, has long forgotten what true "honor" and "ambition" are.
Blindly using violence and power to control Slytherin will only make the wrong ideas and influence that Voldemort left in this academy more and more profound. Compared with Hufflepuff, who is full of resilience but lacks sharpness, today
Slytherin House has more problems - they are too easy to compromise and too easily seduced by some superficial interests.
Salazar Slytherin was the most stubborn among the four founders, the one who valued honor the most, and was also the one with the purest pursuit of magic and power. If he knew that Slytherin had become such a pretentious person, he would be angry.
With such a look, he might be so angry that he would directly raise his coffin and personally clean up these students who insulted his school emblem.
However, it is too difficult and long for Elena to change the philosophy of an academy on her own. Moreover, she does not intend to become the next Voldemort. Therefore, she needs to guide and cultivate a true
Slytherin awakens from the inside out the noble, smart, and honorable academy it once was.
And Draco Malfoy is obviously the most suitable candidate.
After getting along with him for such a long time, some of Draco Malfoy's qualities have gradually begun to emerge.
For example, his strong desire for victory, his well-hidden ambition, his emphasis on honor and small group membership, his increasingly proficient ability to observe words and emotions... The Sorting Hat, which embodies the wisdom of the four founders, is almost unmistakable, but it
It can only be divided into different houses, and cannot accompany the growth of every little wizard.
What kind of people a person encounters on the road of growth, what kind of social circle he enters, and what kind of growth atmosphere he faces are important factors that determine a person's future personality and outlook.
From the moment Draco, Goyle and Crabbe took Neville's toad into Elena's box on the Hogwarts Express, their life trajectories completely followed the same path as the original novel.
completely different paths...
As if feeling Elena's gaze, Draco Malfoy raised his head, looked at Elena and said with determination.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, we will definitely win this game!"
"Of course, I never worried about that."
Elena smiled slightly, cut half of the deliciously fragrant Telleson sausage and placed it on Draco Malfoy's dinner plate. This slightly spicy and smoky Spanish sausage was very suitable.
Slytherin's taste.
"Today may be a protracted battle, and as a chaser you need to maintain strong physical strength. The pressure of being behind on the total score will force the Slytherin team to adopt a full attack lineup before taking a small lead, so I hope you can
In this game, I showed the effect of my previous training and shot through the Slytherin team's goal first. If you feel worried..."
"Don't worry about me, eldest sister."
Draco Malfoy shook his head and watched Elena put a few more sliced fried eggs on his plate, as well as a few sprinkled with black pepper, which had a faint dry aroma from the roasting.
Beef cubes, replied firmly.
"Feel free to leave the Quaffle to me, I will let them know what a wrong tactic it is to give up defense completely - just because I am the Slytherin team, I can work harder and without worries.
Pursue victory.”
"But, but...if I fail to catch the Golden Snitch in time..."
Unlike Draco Malfoy's relaxed mentality, Harry Potter, who served as a Seeker for the first time, was obviously much more nervous. Even though he went to the trophy room last night to see his father's Quidditch trophy, he was still not that nervous.
confidence.
Among all the freshmen varsity members around the field, he was the only one who had hardly eaten anything.
"Don't be nervous, Harry, you have excellent Quidditch bloodline inherited from your family."
Elena patted Harry's shoulder and forced a piece of toast smeared with strawberry jam into his hand.
"Just like your talent in Potions class came from your mother, you obviously inherited your father's talent in Quidditch. Flying requires talent. If you are not confident yet, you can think of Hermione
——”
"Elena!"
"Sorry, I just wanted to make Harry feel a little better."
"Humph, let's not argue with you today..."
Hermione made a noncommittal snort and rolled her eyes at Elena. She seemed to have considered that the game was about to begin, so she did not immediately fight back as usual, but followed her to coax Harry.
"Harry, you must eat a few bites of breakfast, otherwise even if you see the Golden Snitch, you won't have the energy to catch it - you must be able to, think about your father, he started the Gryffindor Quidditch team
The first four-consecutive dynasty in history.”
"But my dad is a chaser..." Harry pinched the pieces of bread in his hand worriedly.
"Hey, don't forget, man. In the 1973 Quidditch Cup records at Hogwarts, the position written under James Potter is Seeker. The position your dad played when he won the championship in his first year was Seeker.
Golfer."
Ron Weasley came over, bumped Harry with his shoulder, and said excitedly.
"Do you know what Percy said about our team last night? We are not a college representative team, we are a Hogwarts representative team. We are the Moonlight Seven of Hogwarts. With only one Slytherin house
It is absolutely impossible to defeat the united Hogwarts freshmen team, let alone defeat the moonlight that originally belongs to the sky..."
"Yeah, that's right."
Harry looked around at the friends he had met at Hogwarts over the past year. He felt power gradually pouring out of his heart, his body seemed to become lighter, and he couldn't wait to fly into the sky. This experience had been unprecedented in the previous ten years.
never had.
After a slight pause for a few seconds, Harry turned his head to look at Elena and nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, I already understand! There is nothing to be afraid of! Because, I am no longer a... uh uh uh..."
"Now that you understand, just shut up and have breakfast, and don't say such unlucky words!"
Before Harry could finish speaking, Elena grabbed the bread in Harry's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking the words behind "Savior Star". You must know that according to the order of appearance, she will take the lead in the charge later.
It's her who is the captain.
…………
At about eleven o'clock, all the teachers and students of the school came to the stands around the Quidditch pitch.
Thanks to the magic left over from the previous public trials, the auditorium has been widened a lot. The stands raised into the air make it easier for teachers and students to watch the upcoming Quidditch match. Many students even specially asked their families to send them

In addition, Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic, reporters from sports newspapers, and scouts from many professional Quidditch League Cup teams came to the scene, waiting for the upcoming game.
