An Ancient Bloodline's Suppression
Dahei has disappeared; nobody knows where it went.
William wasn't too worried; this wasn't the first time it had gone missing. The last time it returned to London, it had run away from home for a day and a night.
Most importantly, this is a dog that can fight Werewolf hand-to-hand... As long as it doesn't bully others, few small animals dare to mess with it.
After Dahei went missing, Hagrid felt very guilty, believing it was all his fault.
He was trying to mix Rock Cakes and canned herring into the food so that Dahei could try it and experience his exquisite cooking skills.
Clearly, Dahei's palate is too strong; he can't appreciate this bland food, which is why he ran away from home.
Hagrid was even more heartbroken.
His teaching also plummeted; the quirky antics of the first lesson were gone, and he became extremely cautious... careful.
When Hagrid starts to become cautious, that's when the disaster begins, because he'll swing from one extreme to the other.
He found more than a dozen crucibles from somewhere. The crucibles were very old and seemed to have not been used for many years. Even the moldy green mold was nearly half a meter long.
It's easy to imagine that those crucibles were inhabited by a large number of Horklump.
Horklump are tiny parasites that resemble crabs in appearance, have long teeth, and are only one-twentieth of an inch long.
They like to live on magical objects like cauldrons, feeding on the leftover residue of Potions.
They are also the culprits behind the sudden malfunctions of Muggle appliances.
It sounds kind of cute, but when the crucible is covered with a dense swarm of Horklump, from a distance it looks like a small cabinet crawling with cockroaches.
William was horrified when he saw this for the first time. Qiu, who had just been discussing with him how to make fried crabs more fragrant, also covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting.
She no longer had any daring thoughts.
Hagrid didn't instruct everyone to eliminate the Horklump; after all, this is Care of Magical Creatures Care of Magical Creatures, not eliminating them.
They need to clean the crucible and move the Horklump to their new home.
No one wanted to get close to the Horklump, especially one morning when McLaggen was surprised to find that Horklump had grown on his wand as well.
The Horklump drilled a small hole in the wand and swallowed the wand core.
All the students expressed varying degrees of dissatisfaction with Hagrid's teaching methods.
It is widely believed that even without Malfoy, he wouldn't have lasted long before being fired.
Hagrid will certainly not be fired, because he is taking the blame for Professor McGonagall, the school leader.
These old crucibles were all found by Professor McGonagall from who-knows-where.
She wanted the young wizards to clean it up so it could be used by Potions Class.
The young wizards were going to waste cauldrons, especially Neville, who could break two cauldrons in a single class.
Snape also used up a lot of crucibles.
Professor McGonagall believed that he could use these old crucibles after they were cleaned.
There's also a strange sense of weight and history.
Only when brewed with this sense of awe will the Potions truly taste good!
Snape expressed his extreme anger at Professor McGonagall's stinginess.
Professor McGonagall is blatantly cutting his budget.
He just bought some Acromantula from Shidake at a high price using public funds, what's the big deal?
This kind of thing is inherently priceless.
Besides, Shidake took the lion's share, while he only took a negligible small portion. What's with cutting his budget?
Isn't this bullying honest people?!
This wasn't the only thing that angered Snape.
Rumors suddenly spread throughout the school that someone was selling his photos... and various types of photos of him in women's clothing!
Professor Snape investigated several times, but the group was very cautious and clearly experienced. They were all itinerant criminals and not reliable acquaintances; they wouldn't sell photos to anyone they didn't know.
The young wizards who bought the photos dared not admit it.
Snape initially suspected Lupin, and then turned his attention to Neville.
But he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would have that kind of courage.
Those people were also very good at counter-surveillance; Snape had only been investigating for a short time when they immediately stopped selling.
Snape hasn't found any clues yet, so he has to ask Malfoy to find a way to buy a few photos so he can see how revealing they are of women in drag.
The more difficult the opponent, the angrier Professor Snape became.
Once he finds the murderer, he'll first sever the tendons in the hands and feet, then soak the murderer in formalin.
On the night of the full moon, when Lupin takes the Wolfsbane Potion and becomes a wolf with no limbs, the murderer is then given Amortentia and locked up with Lupin!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
Quidditch training began in October.
After two years of hard work by William, Ravenclaw Quidditch Team finally welcomed a new batch of players.
William's roommate Bradley became the Chaser, Bradley and Chambers became the Beater.
The Ravenclaw Quidditch Team has been successfully reorganized, with most of the players becoming new members who have been trained for several years.
They're in their prime!
William's requirement was very simple: speed.
They don't need to fight positional battles; they need to increase the speed of offense and defense transitions, completing an attack in less than 10 seconds.
In other words, they played Quidditch "run-and-gun" style.
Ravenclaw will primarily employ high-speed, fluid rotations as their tactical approach, emphasizing the speed of transitions between attack and defense, while partially sacrificing their ability to attack and defend in their own half, in order to launch as many rapid attacks as possible.
William is the absolute core of the team.
Including the time loop, he played Quidditch for over seven years, and no one at Hogwarts knew Quidditch better than him.
He is very experienced, and his ability to read the game far surpasses that of ordinary people.
When he drives to the weak side, all the opponents are in trouble. If there are few people double-teaming him, he can easily break through. If there are many people double-teaming him, he will pass the ball to his teammates for an easy shot.
Their biggest rival is Hufflepuff. At least that's what William thinks.
Cedric was elected captain, which will give him a better command of the team.
The Gryffindor Quidditch Team is also a formidable opponent.
Because Wood has gone mad.
In October, it rained heavily for most of the time outside.
The terrible weather was not conducive to training at all, but Wood led the Gryffindor team outside to endure the elements every evening.
It seems that the more exhausted they are now, the greater their chances of winning.
In Wood's words: Win or die!!
This sounds a lot like Pat Riley, the NBA's mastermind.
His training method involves squeezing out talent, overdrawing and burning energy, and ignoring health.
Riley's most famous act was his grueling training regimen before the finals.
Then, they wore out Magic Johnson and exhausted the aging Jabbar, handing the Pistons the championship.
Our "little genius" Wood also learned some of the tricks and demanded that Harry gain weight, at least another twenty pounds, to combat the terrible weather.
Harry was too short; he hadn't grown much taller since entering first grade, and he was also very thin.
A lighter Seeker isn't necessarily better; Krum is an example of someone who uses a heavy Seeker.
But he remained very agile and did not suffer any disadvantage in physical confrontations.
Cedric is also this type of Seeker; having just turned sixteen, he is exceptionally tall.
However, neither team is a threat. After all, William has the invincible card [Qiu Zhang].
Before Fall, Cedric and Harry will both go from Seeker to Fall seekers!
This is a bloodline suppression inherited from ancient times!
In this atmosphere, Halloween arrived quickly.
