"Have you heard? Harry Potter, the famous the Chosen One, has been exceptionally recruited by Professor McGonagall to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team!"

"I've heard it. It's all over Hogwarts. All the young wizards here are saying that Harry caught the Remembrall just as it was about to hit the ground with a dive."

"No wonder, but Hogwarts has never had a first-year wizard become Quidditch player."

Inside the dining hall, news spread throughout the entire school that Harry Potter, with Professor McGonagall's permission, had been exceptionally admitted to the Gryffindor Quidditch Team.

The Chosen One, the Quidditch team, breaking precedents and joining without prior arrangement—these words are all very eye-catching.

Now, these words together have naturally ignited the gossip-loving spirits of all the young wizards at Hogwarts.

At the Gryffindor dinner table, Harry became the center of attention as a great hero, with his classmates tirelessly recounting his exploits over and over again.

Many older students also came to Harry's side, hoping to get acquainted with Harry rising star.

At the other houses' tables, the Quidditch team members were deep in thought, pondering the impact of Harry's exceptional inclusion on the game.

Ravenclaw House even planned to use her charm to trick Harry into revealing his future location, in order to devise his own tactics.

In any case, the newly enrolled the Chosen One displayed unparalleled talent in flying, and his fame spread throughout the entire school in the blink of an eye.

At the Slytherin dinner table, Malfoy grumbled, "It was Lester who caught that Gryffindor idiot, so why is everyone praising Harry!"

All the Slytherin present were also very dissatisfied, as they had personally witnessed Lester risking his life to catch Neville.

In the end, it was Harry First World War famous for catching just one crystal ball.

Malfoy and the others didn't understand. Shouldn't Lester be the one being praised? Why was the whole school talking about Harry?

Furthermore, while the talent for flight is important in the Wizarding World, isn't strength even more important?

What did Harry do? Did he save a Remembrall from falling to the ground?

All the first-year students in Slytherin were indignant on Lester's behalf.

No one cares about a hero who saves a life, but the Chosen One who only saved a glass ball is hailed as a genius among men.

Seeing Harry and the others celebrating at the Gryffindor table in the distance, Lester's henchmen were even more dissatisfied.

Malfoy, snorting and glaring, said, "I'm going to write to my father. Is Headmaster Dumbledore senile?"

"Potter clearly made a mistake, so why wasn't he punished?!"

Disobeying the teacher in class and recklessly riding a broomstick into the sky is a violation of discipline.

Although Malfoy also broke the rules, he was prepared to accept punishment. He could accept punishment, but he could not accept unfairness.

Pansy, her face flushed with anger, said, "I want to write a letter to my father too!"

Potter really went too far to make Malfoy so angry!

"Alright!" Lester waved his hand dismissively, "I know you want to stand up for me, but we're just nobody here and have no influence on the school's decisions."

Dumbledore's reputation is currently at its peak, and it's unlikely that a few tainted pure-blood nobles can influence Dumbledore decisions.

Moreover, Lester could see that Dumbledore was definitely behind Harry 'First World War fame.

Malfoy was right. He risked his life to save Neville, but now, apart from his fellow Slytherin students, nobody cares.

Harry saved a Remembrall and was hailed as a hero by the Gryffindor, eventually becoming famous throughout the entire school.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that this must be Dumbledore's Savior Development Plan.

If Harry was just an ordinary kid with the potential to the Chosen One, he is now a brave, righteous, compassionate, and responsible hero!

This is the momentum Dumbledore is building for Harry, and at the same time, Harry's reputation in Gryffindor will rise.

The Gryffindor students who had previously been indifferent to Harry were now crowding around him again, eager to befriend Harry.

Most importantly, Dumbledore brought Harry back into the public eye, making him a familiar face.

Just like Lester, if you randomly pick a Slytherin and mention Lester's name, everyone will know who he is and what he did.

Now, with Dumbledore's help, Harry has also succeeded in doing so.

"There's nothing I can do. Harry Potter's the one I'm in the limelight with," Lester said nonchalantly. "As long as I'm with him, no matter what we do, he'll always be the star."

Malfoy seemed to understand but not quite, and the others had no idea what Lester was talking about.

Seeing that Lester didn't want to get involved, the others quieted down as well, and the laughter and chatter of the past faded away at the end of the Slytherin table.

All the little snakes wore bitter faces, looking indignant.

Just then, a cold voice rang in Lester's ear. "Lester, come out with me for a moment."

Looking up, I saw Snape with a serious expression, his face clouded with anger.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Lester followed Snape out of the restaurant.

As soon as they stepped outside, Snape revealed his purpose. "I want you to Slytherin Slytherin's Quidditch team. I've heard about you from them, and you have the ability."

Should I get myself into the Quidditch team?

Quidditch may be a very popular sport in the wizarding world, but Lester doesn't care much about it.

No matter how popular it becomes in the wizarding world, it's just a sport and can't bring anything substantial.

If Lester wanted to gain such a massive influence in Quidditch, he could have easily sponsored an Azkaban Quidditch team to participate in the tournament.

If we make it to the Quidditch World Cup, wouldn't it be much better to be a player myself?

"I'm sorry, Professor, I..." Lester shook his head, wanting to refuse.

[Ding! Detected the quest series ' Conquer the Slytherin Quidditch Team ']

[Ding! Do you want to accept the task? Yes/No (No penalty for failure)]

Lester: "..."

Damn it, is there any reason to refuse?
