In fact, as Fanling had thought at the beginning, Harry's popularity kept the selection process going for almost the whole morning. Half of Gryffindor seemed to be on the move, from freshmen (who nervously clung to the school's ragged brooms) to the seventh graders (who were too big and looked very calm).
The latter included a large, stiff haired boy, whom Harry recognized at a glance and had met on the Hogwarts Express.
"We met on the train, in the old slug box," he said confidently, coming out of the crowd and shaking Harry's hand. "Cormac mcclargan, goalkeeper."
"You didn't audition last year, did you?" Harry asked, noting that McClaren's shoulders were wide enough to block all three goals without moving.
"I was in the hospital when they selected last year," mclargen said bluntly. "I lost the bet and ate a pound of fox eggs."
"All right," said Harry. "Well You wait over there... "
He pointed to the corner of the court, where van Lin and Hermione were sitting. He seemed to see a flash of anger on mcclargen's face, and Harry wondered if mcclargen thought they were all "old slugs" and would get some special treatment.
Harry followed van Lim's advice, starting with the most basic test, he divided all the applicants into groups of ten and asked them to fly around the court.
Obviously, it's a good idea: the first group was in grade one, and it's obvious that they've hardly ever flown before. Only one boy managed to make more stops in the air, and finally he hit the doorpost in panic.
The second group consisted of ten of the stupidest girls Harry had ever seen. After Harry whistled, they just giggled and clung to each other. The girl named Romilda vine was among them.
Harry told them to leave the court, and they did it with great pleasure. They all sat in the stands and laughed at everyone else.
The third group got into a pile when they were halfway around the court. Most of the people in the fourth group didn't bring broomsticks.
All the people in the fifth group are hutchpach's.
"If there's anyone here who's not Gryffindor," Harry yelled, and he's starting to get a little angry. "Please leave now!" After a moment of silence, a few Ravenclaw's grade students ran out of the court, wheezing and laughing.
After two hours of complaining and a few tantrums - one of which broke a comet 20 and smashed several teeth - Harry finally found three pursuers: Katie bell, who returned to the team after a fantastic test, new player demerza robins was particularly good at dodging the swim ball, and Ginny Weasley She was outstanding throughout the selection process and scored seven goals.
Although Harry was happy with his choice, he yelled hoarse at countless protestors, and now he has to have another similar fight with the eliminated batsmen.
"That's my final decision. If any of you don't make way for the selection of the goalkeeper, I'll curse him!" Harry roared. None of the hitters he picked had the talent of veteran players Fred and George, but he was quite satisfied: Jimmy Pixar, a small but broad shouldered third grader, hit Harry's Bludger fiercely in the back of his head, causing an egg sized bag to pop up on Harry's head, and Ricky coulter, skinny but good at it Aim at. They are now joining Katie, demerza and Ginny, sitting in the stands watching the selection of the team's last member.
Harry deliberately put the selection of the goalkeeper at the end of the game. He hoped that the players on the field would leave a little bit and their pressure would be reduced.
Unfortunately, all the losers and some of the people who have just finished breakfast are joining the crowd, so there are more people watching, and every goalkeeper who flies to the goal also bursts into loud laughter.
Harry glanced at Ron, who was easily nervous; Harry thought that winning the last match last semester had cured Ron's problem, but apparently not: Ron's face was green.
None of the first five players was able to save more than two balls. To Harry's great disappointment, Cormac McClaren saved four of the five free throws. But when he saved the last ball, he was completely in the wrong direction; there was a burst of laughter and boos from the crowd, and mcclargan gritted his teeth back to the ground.
Ron seemed to faint as he mounted the sweeping seven stars.
"Good luck to you!" Exclaimed a voice from the crowd in the stands. Harry looked around, hoping it was Fanlin and Hermione, but surprisingly, Harry saw Raven brown.
Is it true what Van Lin said?
Of the four of them, he will soon be the only one
Harry drives the terrible thoughts out of his head, but in fact, it's useless. Ron is nervous but exploding
Harry wanted to hide his face in his hand like ravend, but as a captain, he should be a little tough, so he turned to see Ron's experiment.But to Harry's surprise, it seemed he didn't have to worry: Ron saved a ball, two, three, four, five in a row!
Harry was happy. He struggled to keep himself out of the cheering crowd. Harry wanted to turn around and tell mcclargen that Ron had beaten him, only to find mcclargen's red face a few inches away, and Harry stepped back.
"His sister didn't hit the ball seriously at all." Mcclargen said viciously that the blood vessels in his temples had swelled, as Harry often saw in Uncle Vernon's face. "The balls she gave him were easy to save."
"Nonsense," said Harry coldly.
"He almost didn't get it." Mcclargen took another step closer, and this time Harry didn't step back. "Let me try again."
"No," said Harry. "You've tried it once. You saved four. And Ron saved five. Ron is the goalkeeper, and he won the position fairly. Get out of the way. " At one point he thought mcclargen would hit him with his fist, but he just twisted his face into an ugly look and roared away, sounding like he was angry with the air. Harry turned around and his new players were looking at him slightly.
"Well done." He said in a hoarse voice. "You're really flying well -"
"you're doing great, Ron!"
Van Lin and Hermione also came. Although van Lin's expression was a little strange, in fact, Harry was also immersed in the joy of being able to bring Ron back into the team.
Ron seemed so pleased with himself that he grinned at everyone, seemingly taller than usual. On Thursday, they agreed to leave for the first time with Harry and Van Gogh, and then went to the next good-bye session with Harry and herculen.
The light rain finally stopped, and the wet sun squeezed out from behind the clouds. Harry was hungry; he hoped Hagrid had something to eat.
"I thought I almost missed the fourth ball," Ron said happily. "Demerza's ball was very cunning. Did you see that with a little bit of spin -"
"yes, yes Well, it's Bangbang! "
" but it sounds strange... " Ron is a little confused
"Well, maybe it's my accent..."
"Well, Congratulations, Ron." Hermione said with a smile and pushed van Lin back.
"I'm better than that mcclargan anyway," Ron said with great satisfaction. "Did you see him clumsily move in the wrong direction for the fifth? It's as if you've been under the confusion curse... "
"Er Yes, yes... " Van Lin shook his head and pulled Hermione away.
……
"That boy is too arrogant!" Hermione said discontentedly.
"You don't like it? Oh, that's good... "
And then van Lin pointed
"That's all right."
……
In front of Hagrid's hut was a tall grey hippopotamus winged animal, and Buckbeak saw the four of them coming, smacked its sharp beak, and turned the huge head around.
"My God," Hermione said nervously. "It's still a little scary, isn't it?"
"Come on, you've ridden it, haven't you?" Said Ron. Harry walked forward and bowed to the hippogriff, staring at it without blinking. Seconds later, Buckbeak bowed, too.
"Are you all right?" Asked Harry in a low voice, stroking its feathered head.
"Oh Barkpeck let out a loud cry. The hippo was friendly to his human friends, and it reminded Hagrid.
Hagrid strode to the corner of the hut, wearing a huge floral apron and carrying a bag of potatoes. The teeth of his great hound followed, and with a cry they leaped forward.
"Stay away from it! It's going to bite your fingers off - oh. It's you guys. "
The tooth jumps between Hermione and van Lin, trying to lick their ears.
Hagrid glanced at them, turned and strode into the hut, slamming the door shut.
"My God!" Hermione seems to have been hit.
"Don't worry," Fanlin said helplessly. Obviously, Hagrid had a little temper. He didn't really want to see them.
Fanlin went over and knocked at the door loudly. "Hagrid! Open the door, we want to talk to you! "
There was no sound in it.
"If you don't open the door, we'll blow it up!" Vaseline drew out his wand.
"Fanlin, what are you doing?" Hermione sounds shocked. "You can't -"
"of course I can!" Said Fanlin. "It's not the first time, and if some people are going on, I don't think it's the last time. Now, stand back --"
but the front door opens again before van Lin says the spell.Hagrid stood there glaring at everyone, still looking absolutely frightening, despite her flowery apron.
"I'm a teacher!" He yelled at Harry. "A teacher, Al! How dare you threaten to blow me up... "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hagrid," said Fanling, taking his wand into his robe, deliberately stressing the last word. Hagrid looked shocked.
"When did you start calling me" Sir "
"When did you start calling me" Al "? Or do you think you can just keep hiding, Hagrid
"Oh, very clever," Hagrid murmured. "Very interesting. I was cheated by you, right? Well, come in, you ungrateful little ones... "
He murmured vaguely, retreating to let them in. Hermione walked in after van Lin, looking terrified.
"So?" Hagrid said angrily that Harry, Ron, vaseline and Hermione sat down around his huge wooden table, and their teeth immediately put their heads on Harry's knees, salivating all over his robes.
"What is this? Sorry for me? Think I'm lonely or something
"No," said Harry at once. "We want to see you."
"We miss you so much!" Said Hermione, trembling.
"Miss me, don't you?" Hagrid snorted. "Yes. All right He trudged up and down the room, making tea in his huge Brass Teapot, mumbling all the time. Finally, he threw four bucket sized cups and a plate of rock cakes in front of them. The cups were filled with brown red tea.
Harry was hungry enough to endure Hagrid's cooking, and he immediately picked up one.
"Hagrid," said Hermione timidly, as Hagrid sat down with them at the table and peeled the potatoes savagely, as if every potato had a grudge against him. "You see, we really want to continue with the protection of magical biology class."
Hagrid snorted again.
Fanlin was even more glad that it was just potatoes, and congratulated himself that they didn't stay for dinner. Hagrid's cooking You can't expect a giant's taste buds to be as moderate as normal people.
"We really want to!" Said Hermione. "But none of us can put it on our curriculum!"
"Yes. All right Hagrid said again.
Suddenly there was a strange creak, and they all looked around: Hermione screamed, Ron jumped out of his chair, and hurried around the table to avoid a large bucket in the corner, which they had just noticed.
There was a bucket full of stuff that looked like a foot long maggot; sticky, white, rolling and twisting inside.
"What are those? Hagrid Harry tried to make his questions sound more interesting than disgusting, but he left the waffle behind.
"It's giant maggots," Hagrid said.
"They will grow up..." Ron looked worried. It seemed like yesterday that the snail explosion happened
"Nothing will grow," Hagrid said. "I'm going to feed aragock with them."
Without any sign, he burst into tears. "Hagrid Exclaimed Hermione. She went around the table (to avoid the maggots) to Hagrid and patted him on the shaking shoulder.
"What's the matter?"
"Yes It... " Hagrid sobbed and wiped his face with his skirt. His eyes, as black as beetles, were full of tears. "Yes Alagok I think it's dying It's been sick all summer, and I don't think it's getting better I don't know what to do if it If it We've been together for so long... "
Hermione patted Hagrid on the shoulder and didn't seem to know what to say. Harry knows how she feels. He remembered that Hagrid had sent a teddy bear to his ferocious little dragon, had seen him take care of a group of big scorpions with suction cups and stingers, and had seen him try to communicate with the ferocious giant brother, but this was perhaps the most incomprehensible part of his habit of raising Monsters: the talking giant aragok, who lived deep in the forbidden forest, which they had experienced four years ago It's a near death escape from it.
"Have you Is there anything we can do to help Hermione asked, ignoring van Lin's crazy winking and shaking his head. The big spider, in fact, if it wasn't for Hagrid, that guy would have died
"I don't think so, Hermione," Hagrid sobbed, trying to hold back the tears. "You see, the rest of the family Alagok's family They're all a little weird after he's sick A little restless... "
"Yes, I think we see them like that," Ron whispered.
“…… I don't think it's safe for anyone to go there at this time except me. " Hagrid said, blowing his nose hard with his apron, and then raised his head. "But thank you for your concern, Hermione It's important... "
After that, the atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot. Although no one showed any interest in meeting a ferocious giant spider and feeding it a huge maggot, Hagrid took it for granted that they were willing to do it, so he recovered himself."Well, I knew for a long time that it would be hard for you to cram me into your curriculum," he said gruffly, adding tea to them. "Even if you apply for a time converter --"
"in fact, we can't use it." "In the Ministry of magic, the battle took place in the hall of time. You should know that war directly destroyed two departments..."
"Ah, well," Hagrid said. "You can't do it I'm sorry, I - you know - I'm worried about aragock And I was thinking, maybe if professor grapram had taught you -- "
the four of them, without conscience, told Hagrid that the professor who had taken his place several times was terrible, and he looked quite happy when they said goodbye to Hagrid's cabin in the evening.
