Chapter 21 Selection

PS: Thanks to LarferWong for his reward. LarferWong is also an old book friend who pays attention to this book. The glory under the crown has finally given the first deacon!

"Is Umbridge dead?" Harry frowned, "and when did she become afraid of crime and absconded? Shouldn't she be in Azkaban?"

"She should have been in Azkaban, Harry," said Ron. "Umbridge failed to capture Hager, and injured Professor McGonagall and ran into the Forbidden Forest. He was caught by the group of horsemen in the Forbidden Forest - you know, that group of horsemen is not a good-tempered creature. Umbridge probably said something offensive to the Horsemen, but she was detained by the Horsemen for more than a month. Later, Dumbledore came forward to rescue her."

"Why don't I know? No one told me." Harry said.

"Because you were still in your aunt's new home at that time," Ron said. "It was Dumbledore who told us about this."

"Why did Umbridge escape again for fear of guilt?" Harry asked.

"I don't know the specificity. She was found guilty and should have been in Azkaban for serving her sentence, but she somehow managed to escape and disappeared until she was found dead in a village in Derbyshire." Ron said to Harry Yangyang's newspaper, "Anyway, that's what the newspaper said. Harry, shouldn't you be happy if Umbridge dies?"

"I just think her death is a bit inexplicable," Harry said.

"Yes, the newspaper said that Umbridge died by stabbing his wand into his throat, and there was no sign of him killing him. This way of death is so weird, like a curse. Isn't it? I remember Bill told me something similar before." Ron said, looking thoughtful.

"Maybe Umbridge thought he was so guilty that he committed suicide." Harry was a little panicked for some reason, and he changed the subject and said, "It's almost time, let's go to Quidditch Stadium."

"Wait, Harry, let me finish this salmon..."

——————————————————————————

When they left the Gryffindor dining table and walked towards Quidditch Stadium, they ran into Gryffindor's female chief Lavender Brown Lavender gave Ron a bright smile. Ron blinked at her and smiled hesitantly. His walking posture immediately became swaggering and full of airs.

Harry looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he still held it back, "Ron, when did you get along with Ravend?"

Ron's ears turned red, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Harry smiled and did not continue to ask.

Ron muttered, "We are all Gryffindor's chiefs. We are just working together, working together..."

The trials lasted almost a morning. Half of the students from Gryffindor College came from the first to seventh graders. The students in the first grade were nervously clutched several old ragged brooms picked out from the school warehouse, while the students in the seventh graders looked tall and tall, standing out with a frightening momentum. Among the students in the seventh graders, there was a big man with thick and hard hair. Harry recognized him as the Gryffindor boy on the Hogwarts Express at a glance.

"We've seen it on the train. In Professor Slughorn's carriage." He said confidently, and walked out of the crowd to shake hands with Harry. "Get to know again, I'm Kormike McLagan and I'm going to run for goalkeeper."

"Oh." Harry said, "Okay...you're waiting there..."

He pointed to the edge of the court and did not intend to make friends with this person - Ron is also running for goalkeeper.

Harry decided to do a basic test first, and he asked all those who applied to join the team to divide into groups of ten people and fly around the court. This was a wise decision. The ten people in the first group were all first-year freshmen, and obviously, they had never flew before. There was only one boy in the air for a few seconds, and he was shocked himself, and he soon hit the goal post.

The second group was ten girls. Harry had never met such a stupid girl. When he blew his whistle, they would laugh so hard that they could not stand up and hug each other. When Harry asked them to leave the court, they left happily, and then sat in the stands and criticized each other.

The third group fell into a pile when they flew around the court halfway through. Most of the people in the fourth group came without a broom.

Harry was a little desperate, and I really don't know how the captains of the past survived.

Two hours later, after hearing the complaints, he saw others getting angry several times, one of them smashed a comet 260, and someone knocked off a few teeth, Harry finally selected three chasers for himself: Katie Bell, who is an old player of Gryffindor, and she performed well and returned to the team; a rookie named Demirza Robbins, who was very agile to avoid roaming balls; and Ginny Weasley, who flew faster than all the players and scored seventeen goals. Harry was very satisfied with the people he had finally selected, but because he kept shouting at many complaining people, his voice was hoarse, and he was now going to deal with the complaints of the students who had lost the election.

"It's settled. If you don't get out of here and let the goalkeeper come in, I'll give you evil curses." He roared.

The two bats he selected were far less outstanding than the Weasley brothers, but they were quite satisfying: Jimmy Perks, a wide-breasted, short third-year classmate, who had a strong swaying ball that knocked Harry out the back of his head a bulge as big as an egg; Riche Gutt, who looked weak, but aimed very accurately. The two of them were sitting in the stands with Katie, Demirza and Ginny, watching Harry pick their last player.
