Chapter 258 Malfoy’s plan
When Rogge returned to Slytherin, the school team selection had ended. The list of fourteen school team members was newly released, and everyone was talking about them and casting envious glances at them.
"Roger, did you know?" Malfoy rushed over and shouted: "I was selected! I became a Chaser!"
His voice was loud and could be heard by almost everyone in the auditorium. On the long Gryffindor table, Ron looked in the direction of Malfoy and said disdainfully: "What's there to show off? Harry is also a member of the school team, and he's also a Seeker."
Compared to the Seeker, who emphasizes talent and flexibility, the Chaser's job is hard and tiring, and it is not easy to be in the limelight. Malfoy was able to endure and train for this position throughout the summer, which shows his love for Quidditch.
"Congratulations, Draco!" Rogge sent his sincere congratulations, sincerely happy for Malfoy.
"How many are selected in total from our college?"
"Only four." Daphne was a little dissatisfied. She said: "Draco and Marcus were selected as chasers, and Bol and Montague were beaters. The one with the largest number of selected people was Gryffindor. There are five people.”
The newly established school team has not yet been able to make students from the four colleges let go of their differences. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are okay, but Malfoy and the others may have to start various competitions and contests with Gryffindor.
Even now, Slytherin has some complaints about the number of people selected.
"Huh, in my opinion, it's Mrs. Hooch who favors them." Malfoy snorted and complained: "She actually chose the Weasley twins even though their grades were almost the same. If the Ravenclaw batter's No matter how explosive they were, they would never be selected."
"Where are the other colleges?" Rogge could understand Mrs. Huo Qi's thoughts. As hitters, the twins had a natural sense of understanding and could take advantage of working together in the game.
"Two people were selected from Ravenclaw, Keeper Grande and Chaser Roger. Hufflepuff has three people, Seeker Cedric, and two Chasers Thomson and Smith."
"Mrs. Hooch initially wanted Gryffindor Wood to be the captain, but Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff obviously agreed more with Cedric."
"Cedric?" Rogge couldn't help but froze when he heard this familiar name. Is this Cedric the one he remembered who interrupted Harry's private meeting with Voldemort?
"That's Cedric in fifth grade, the prefect of Hufflepuff. I think he's very good, definitely better than Harry." Malfoy seemed determined to win the starting position, and said with confidence: "I don't want to Starting with that Scarhead. And Angelina from their academy, the Chaser. Working with her makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
The fourteen school team players who passed the selection are all official players of the four colleges. So they are very familiar with each other, especially as each other's opponents, they have had many confrontations.
Almost all other applicants were reduced to mere foils. As for Ron, who mustered up the courage to participate in the selection, Malfoy ridiculed him as a fool who couldn't even drill a circle.
Malfoy used the opponent's performance on the court today and sneered: "The more the brooms are the same, the more it proves everyone's strength. Some people are not even alternates and want to join the school team directly. Humph, it's a daydream."
Rogge thought of Cedric, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. If Voldemort is Harry's destiny entanglement, then Cedric is Potter's destiny substitute.
He originally thought that the competition between the two would collide in the future Goblet of Fire. What I never expected was that they were all Seekers. Regardless of whether each other wants it or not, there is only one starting position, and no one wants to be each other's substitute.
Without Voldemort's interruption this year, the two of them could have a good competition. I don’t know if Harry Potter can defeat Cedric under relatively fair conditions.
"I'll tell you a little tidbit secretly." Rogge picked up the juice, took a slow sip, and said: "The champion of this year's secondary league may be guaranteed a place in the World Cup."
"What!" Malfoy and Marcus screamed one after another, and the other Slytherin members who were not selected also regretted it.
"You mean the secondary league champion?"
"right."
"Quidditch World Cup?"
"Yes, it will be held in the UK next year."
"Championship and World Cup...walk-off..." Malfoy and the others were overwhelmed by the news and were so dizzy that they couldn't believe it.
"Don't be so excited, I told you it was just hearsay." Rogge said with a slight smile.
"I understand." Malfoy shook his hand nervously, determined to let his father find out the authenticity of the news.
If true, varsity qualifications will become even more valuable. The most important thing is that they cannot give up the opportunity to start. Because that means that they will have the opportunity to start in the World Cup in the future, instead of sitting on the bench and watching others perform.
Draco Malfoy must not give up such an opportunity of glory and limelight to anyone! He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he thought that Harry was also a member of the school team.
He curled his lips and muttered: "I didn't expect that the school would allow Harry to join the school team. As you all know, we will have to compete in other magical circles on the weekends."
Hearing what he said, the people around him couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts. It would be great if I could go out and play on the weekends.
"I mean, Sirius escaped from prison, somewhere near the Scottish Highlands." He said with a smile, his teeth gleaming. "What if Black catches Harry, hehe."
"Harry is going to compete abroad on the weekend, how can Sirius find him?" Roger reminded kindly.
"Ah?" Malfoy was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Yes, Sirius can't use the floo network at all, and he can't leave the UK."
As a result, Malfoy became depressed. He held a spoon and kept stirring the mashed potatoes in the bowl. They were golden, sticky, and looked disgusting.
He looked past the figures and towards the Gryffindor table. Harry was accepting everyone's congratulations, as if the Seeker's starting qualification was firmly in his hands.
"That guy Harry doesn't know about that. No wonder he can stay at school peacefully." Malfoy suddenly imitated Harry's voice and said, "Why should I seek revenge from him? He didn't do anything to me. Not yet.”
"What have you never done before?" Theodore brought a box of magic soda, which were his new and improved products.
"It's about Sirius's betrayal." Malfoy reached for the box and was grabbed by Theodore.
"This is for the orientation event in the evening. If you drink it now, it won't be yours tonight," Theodore said.
"Okay!" Malfoy's answer stunned Theodore. By the time he reacted, Malfoy had already pulled out a bottle of pink soda with quick eyes and hands.
"Draco!"
"Hiccup~ Cherry flavor, apple flavor..." He said and licked his lips, wanting to grab another bottle.
Theodore hurriedly turned away, not giving him any chance to steal the soda. He looked in the direction of Harry and said, "That incident made a big fuss back then and was even published in the newspapers. After Sirius escaped from prison this year, I even heard about it from my father. How could he not know about it?"
"Perhaps someone cast a forgetting curse." Malfoy said maliciously.
Rogge shook his head and explained the reason: "He was fostered in a Muggle family since he was a child. I'm afraid no one told him about it. As for our magic newspaper, Muggles are even less likely to have access to it."
"Oh, I understand." Malfoy rolled his eyes, thinking of a good idea to let Harry leave the school team.
If Scarhead knew that his parents died because of Sirius's betrayal, would he still stay at school peacefully? Harry will definitely leave secretly and seek revenge from Black.
Malfoy showed a sly smile, completely unaware that Rogge and the others had left. He rubbed his chin, thinking about how to deal a serious blow to Harry.
Tell him directly? no!
Malfoy knew very well that the relationship between the two could not be said to be inseparable, but only to say that it was like fire and water. If he told Harry the truth, he would definitely not believe it. Suddenly, he remembered what Rogge said in the Magical Creatures class. If you are going to hurt someone, be sure to act like you are protecting them.
He no longer has this opportunity, but others do!
Malfoy's eyes couldn't help but stare at the red-haired witch, Harry's little girlfriend, Ginny Weasley.
If Ginny told Harry this and then made him understand that Ron knew about it but didn't tell him, wouldn't he feel betrayed by his good friend?
Like his father, betrayed by his best friend!
"Hehehe, I'm such a genius." Malfoy smiled stupidly and drank the fruity drink in one gulp.
The flavors of various fruits bloomed on his tongue one after another, making him couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Rogg, I have a plan." Malfoy smiled, looked around, and asked, "Hey, where is the person?"
