Chapter 214: New member of the Gryffindor team, powerful money ability

Facing Gress's doubts, Lin Xia was rarely strong.

Many Slytherin students looked at each other and took a small step back.

Gress wanted to say something, but his companion pulled his sleeve and asked him to say less.

Due to Lin Xia's majesty, the conflict that Slytherin should have started was suppressed invisibly.

The badgers looked at Lin Xia with a surprised look, and for the first time they felt that power was such a powerful thing.

It seemed that they discovered for the first time that Lin Xia had such majesty.

In Hufflepuff, Lin Xia's personality has always been gentle.

No, it should be said that the personalities of the Badgers are all gentle. Everyone prefers to eat rather than study, and they also enjoy eating and studying during the pleasant time of afternoon tea.

"Ah!!!"

The students began to deal with the mandrakes. As the mandrakes were pulled out one by one, the whole greenhouse echoed with shrill screams.

In order to facilitate communication, Lin Xia did not wear earmuffs.

She cast a "noise reduction method" on herself, and the noise of the mandrake was partially shielded invisibly. Then she cast a "human voice enhancement" on herself, and the sound of human conversation would be enhanced, patrolling among many students.

Lin Xia began to instruct the students who were in a hurry on the spot.

"Don't touch its face. Knowing that it has a mouth, why do you touch its face? It's normal to be bitten."

"Don't scream with it, it will stimulate its anxiety more."

"Don't treat it too gently, grab its grass hard, otherwise it will torture you in turn."

Lin Xia's voice echoed clearly in the greenhouse.

Almost every student was guided by her.

After teaching the students once, Lin Xia deliberately stood behind the Slytherin students and watched them practice.

It was agreed that there would be fifty pots of mandrakes, so there must be fifty pots, and no one could be lazy.

The students thought that Lin Xia was supervising the Slytherin students, and even the Slytherin people thought so.

But only Lin Xia knew that she was actually monitoring only Gress.

When she was teaching her students, she noticed that Gress seemed to want to destroy the mandrakes, and deliberately destroyed the rhizomes of the mandrakes, so that they would need to grow again.

The mandrakes that Gress repotted were even more piercing in the screams.

When Lin Xia came over to supervise them, Gress did not do so many things in secret.

"Ding Dong--"

The melodious bell for the end of get out of class sounded.

Unknowingly, a class period had passed.

The students were immersed in the repotting of the mandrakes, and did not get distracted.

Ron even commented after class: "I think you teach better than the professor. At least she won't give us personal guidance."

Lin Xia shook her head: "It's simple to repot the mandrake. I'm just giving you simple guidance. I can't teach you any advanced knowledge."

Ron: "But if you can't even teach the basic knowledge well, how can you trust the professor to teach advanced knowledge well?"

Lin Xia couldn't help but be silent.

This made sense, and she couldn't refute it.

But Draco stood up for his own dean and said confidently: "Compared with professors of other subjects, our dean's teaching is already responsible enough!"

Harry agreed and said: "Dean Sprout does teach better than Professor Lockhart."

Lin Xia and others ran to the infirmary to visit Neville.

I thought they were the first to arrive, but when they got there, Mikkel was already there.

He looked a little serious, as if he was telling Neville something.

And Neville looked a little nervous, nodding from time to time.

"Neville, are you okay?"

Ron broke the silence and spoke.

Neville and Mikel looked over, and Neville smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Madam Pomfrey said I can leave after a rest."

Ron and Harry wanted to say something to Neville, but Mikel was waiting beside them, so Ron was a little embarrassed to speak.

He just said, "Be careful next time and stay away from the mandrake."

Mickle said at this time: "No, I don't think so. The more problems you encounter, the more you have to face and solve them. Otherwise, what should you do if you encounter such a thing next time?"

Ron closed his mouth embarrassedly.

Lin Xia said: "Neville, since you are fine, we will go back first. Can you still go to class in the afternoon?"

Neville nodded quickly: "Of course."

Went to the Great Hall and had lunch.

A large group of owls flew in from the window with their wings fluttering, and they all had newspapers in their mouths.

The incident that Mr. Ollivander said was published in the newspaper!

All the young wizards knew the first three questions set by the "First Wizard Joint Intelligence Competition".

The first question: "How to solve the problem of incompatibility between wands and magic in the secret realm"

The second question: "How to accurately evaluate the attributes of wizards"

The third question: "How to solve the problem of squibs being able to feel magic but unable to use it"

These three world-class problems in the wizarding world were all published in newspapers.

The young wizards watched with relish.

Although they didn't understand, it didn't stop them from watching.

Ron said: "These questions seem difficult to solve just by listening to them. Can they really do it?"

Hermione vowed: "Of course I can do it. Don't underestimate the wisdom of wizards. Team strength is always greater than individual strength!"

At the same time.

On the other side of the Great Hall, Filch, who had been silently observing whether students violated discipline, also saw the world-class problem published in the newspaper.

His chest suddenly became swollen, and some emotions were accumulating.

Filch didn't know what he thought of, and took out a flyer from his arms.

The flyer read:

[Fast Spell - Introductory Correspondence Course for Magic]

What caught my eye was a long string of silver cursive words:

Do you feel that you can't keep up with the pace of the modern magical world? Do you find yourself looking for excuses not to perform simple magic? Have you ever been ridiculed for your poor wand skills? The answer is here!

Fast Spell is a brand new course that is foolproof, effective, simple and easy to learn. Hundreds of wizards have benefited from Fast Spell!

……

Filch thought about it and finally put the flyer away.

Over the years, he has participated in many courses to teach Squibs introductory spells, but without exception, they have no effect.

Perhaps, he should wait a little longer.

Wait until those wizards have solved the problem of Squibs before trying again.

The next day, after lunch, there was no class in the afternoon, so Lin Xia spent the afternoon in the laboratory.

After the natural wand paper conference, they rested for a week, and now it was time to explore new topics.

Draco, Hermione, including Harry and Ron, were also in the laboratory.

The two of them worked as assistants in the laboratory.

It just so happened that the laboratory was short of people, so it was better to use familiar people than new ones.

Lin Xia promised that she would pay them gold galleons every week depending on their hard work.

Ron was worried about where to work and study, and when he received Lin Xia's invitation, he immediately pulled Harry over.

Don't say it, he didn't think studying was interesting before.

But since he stood at the natural wand paper conference and received the admiration and respect of many young wizards, Ron suddenly wanted to change.

Maybe, he can also strive to be a research-oriented scholar?

However, after doing odd jobs for an afternoon, Ron completely gave up this beautiful fantasy.

He couldn't listen to them discussing academic terms, and he had to make up a lot of information after returning.

Otherwise, he didn't know what it was when he helped to find something.

Ron was very tired mentally, and Harry was not much better, but he could still accept it.

They walked out of the laboratory together and planned to have dinner in the auditorium.

When it was time for evening self-study, Harry and Ron could move freely, and Lin Xia didn't let them come over.

But for Hermione and Draco, they had to go to the laboratory for evening self-study.

They hadn't discussed what new topic they were going to study next.

Walking in the corridor, Lin Xia suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked out the window, squinting slightly.

She asked, "Hermione, are those standing on the grass Mikel and Neville? If I'm not mistaken, they are riding broomsticks?"

Hermione has been practicing ESP recently. When Lin Xia said that, she immediately cast a spell on herself to enhance her vision.

After a while, Hermione said with certainty, "Yes, it's the two of them."

She frowned, "But what are they doing? It's dangerous to practice broomsticks alone."

Draco also looked out the window and said, "No, they are not practicing alone. Senior Wood is leading them, and there are also seniors Weasley twins."

He asked in confusion, "Are Neville and Mikel going to be accepted into the Gryffindor team?"

Everyone looked at Ron.

Ron's face flushed, and he was in a state of extreme shock.

He couldn't figure out why the Gryffindor team wanted Neville and Mikel.

If it was Mikel, it would be fine, but compared to Neville, how could he not be as good as Neville?

And his brother never told him the news!

Seeing that Ron was not in a good state, Harry couldn't help but say: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Let's find out first."

Hermione also said quickly: "Yes, Harry is still here with us. If he really becomes a formal member, Senior Wood will definitely call Harry over during training."

Ron pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth.

This matter was still discussed when Lin Xia and Draco returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

Even Draco didn't understand: "Why is Ron not as good as Neville?"

Lin Xia analyzed rationally: "Neville is just slow, but he is very persistent and has the spirit of daring to fight. As long as he can overcome the weakness of slow hands and feet, he may be a very good player."

Draco: "But looking at the overall conditions, Ron is comparable to Neville!"

Lin Xia thought for a while: "Neville has been staying with Mikel recently. Maybe this matter was promoted by Mikel."

Early the next morning.

When Lin Xia was running around the castle, she saw Neville and Mikel practicing with the Gryffindor team. She also saw the Gryffindor team, each of whom was wearing a brand new Nimbus 2001. She seemed to understand something.

The Slytherin team also came for morning practice early in the morning. This time, the two teams seemed to be full of gunpowder.

The Slytherins no longer laughed at the Gryffindors riding on the worn-out brooms. During practice, they pushed and shoved each other.

Hermione commented: "This is just the practice match. I suspect that when the official match comes, these two teams will fight on the spot."

Lin Xia agreed and said, "I also have this idea."

She glanced at Ron, who was standing blankly on the edge of the lawn not far away, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you get up so early for a run today?"

Hermione sighed: "It's not because of Ron. I heard from Harry that Ron didn't sleep all night and couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning."

Lin Xia thought for a while and walked to Ron's side.

At this time, Draco had already come to him and was listening to Ron complain.

"I went to see George and Fred in the evening, and they criticized me, saying that I was not suitable for playing Quidditch and that I had no talent.

Then I quarreled with them and asked them if Neville had any talent and how they were better than me. George told Fred that Neville was a special case.

I was unwilling to give in and ran over to watch him practice in the morning. Neville's hand holding the broom was still unsteady. Does this mean he was better than me? "

Lin Xia was about to speak, but Draco said to the point first:

"Didn't you notice that everyone on the Gryffindor team has a brand new broomstick? Oh, except Harry, who still uses Nimbus 2000."

He changed his words: "But there is not much difference in performance between Nimbus 2000 and 2001. Changing it to Nimbus 2001 would be a waste of money. The Gryffindor team probably didn't help him make up for it."

"So Ron, do you understand where you fell short?" Draco asked.

Ron said uncertainly: "I don't have the money to replace them with Nimbus 2001?"

Draco patted him hard on the shoulder, "Congratulations, you are right! Work hard to make money, Ron, you are just short of money-making ability!"

Ron:…

On the other side, on the Quidditch pitch.

Neville, who was envied by everyone, was not feeling very well at this moment.

Although Mikel pulled him into Gryffindor Academy for training called "Courage".

But when he was riding his broomstick, he was always afraid that he would fall from the sky.

There had been an accident before when he took his first broomstick lesson.

To this day, he still can't forget this accident.

But Senior Wood is a very strict person.

Either the team doesn't accept Neville, and once it does, he will train Neville into a qualified player.
