Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 47, psychological shadow



After the start of the new semester, Mesa's schedule has basically returned to normal, and she no longer turns into a nocturnal animal.

This also means that Mesa has said goodbye to its restricted book section for the time being.It is an unbreakable principle to bite off more than you can chew. The magic spells accumulated during the holidays were enough for Mesa to study hard for a while.

Lilia Shafiq strongly condemned the Mesa holiday night tour to the castle.

Not because Mesa didn't take her with him, but because Lilia thought it was dangerous to go out at night at such a time.

Knowing that someone is secretly watching Slytherin, but choosing to wander the castle alone at night is playing with fire.And when you play with fire, you have to pee on the bed.

Sean Hart's performance was a bit surprising. Although he also felt that night outing was wrong and violated the school's rules, he still yearned for night outing.

Fortunately, Lilia was neither in the mood nor had the time to continue preaching to the two boys, otherwise Mesa would have developed calluses on her ears.

For some unknown reason, the professors seemed to have made a private appointment and worked hard to instill knowledge into the students after the semester started, as if the final exam was coming next week.

The sudden increase in study tasks and the mountains of after-school homework have made students complain endlessly.

You know, even if some students have to take the wizard level exam this year, it will only be five months later.

This is not the most painful thing. The people who suffer the most are undoubtedly the Slytherin Quidditch players.Not only do they have more and more homework, they also have to participate in heavy Quidditch training.

In the first half of the school year, all Slytherin games were postponed due to collective illness.The two postponed games will be played after the heavy snowfall.

To win the Quidditch Cup, Slytherin must win these two make-up games.

Therefore, the Slytherin players had to brave the biting cold wind and fly over the stadium.After each training session, the exhausted players were as cold as popsicles.

With the annoying Slytherin taking the lead, the other three house teams couldn't sit still and started their own hard training early.No one wanted to lose to a Slytherin who was recovering from a serious illness.

In Scotland in January, it gets dark at three or four in the afternoon, but this still cannot cool down the training enthusiasm of the four teams.

The damp and cold Quidditch pitch was like a famous lady from the 18th century, warmly welcoming everyone.

As we all know, Hogwarts has two rainy seasons a year.Once for five months, another time for five months, and the remaining two months it snowed.

After finally surviving the continuous heavy snow, the sky in the school did not clear up, and the annoying rainy season came on time.Slytherin's rematch had to be played in wet and muddy conditions.

In the first game against Ravenclaw, although Slytherin trained hard, they lost by a huge score without any suspense.

The players were sleepwalking throughout the game. They were weak when attacking and relied entirely on their eyes when defending.

This is why Ravenclaw is more particular. Although Slytherin failed miserably, it was not nailed to the pillar of shame.If it were the old enemy Gryffindor, and the Slytherin players were not knocked out, it would be considered that the team members had arranged the situation cleanly beforehand.

At that time, the British Quidditch national team will no longer be Europa Chinistan, but will be known as the Little Slytherin team.

After the game, the entire Slytherin looked like eggplants beaten by frost, and Snape's livid face was gloomier than the winter sky.

One week later, the make-up match against Hufflepuff went on as scheduled.Neither side was satisfied with the final result of the game. The little badgers who lost the game were unhappy, and the little snake who won the game was equally unhappy.

Slytherin's victory was thrilling, as the entire defense was hammered by Hufflepuff's chasers.If the Golden Snitch had not been caught at the last moment, Slytherin would have suffered a second disastrous defeat.

The invincible Slytherin team was lost in the cold wind and rain of Scotland.

Mesa was present in Slytherin's two make-up games after the start of term.Even though Mesa had never played Quidditch, he figured out the reason for his team's poor form - they were scared.

Although the trip to the school hospital years ago did not cause irreversible physical damage to the team members, it caused a great psychological shadow on them.

In these two games, the players all behaved like good babies. Not only did they not dare to commit rough fouls, they did not even dare to engage in physical confrontation within the limits allowed by the rules.

The whole game was tied up, and the basic defense was not good, allowing the opponent's chasers to get whatever they wanted... To be able to win the game was really a blessing from Salazar Slytherin.

If they want to return to the championship ranks, the players must overcome their fears and break down their mental barriers.

Only in this way can they adjust their competitive state and fully cope with every subsequent game.

The best way to eliminate fear is to face it and seize the culprit that caused the psychological shadow of the team members, which has become a top priority for Slytherin students.

The mountains of after-school homework cannot stop the Slytherins from taking action in full swing; the spring-filled February cannot dampen the Slytherins' steel-hard fighting spirit.

While other Slytherin students were highly motivated and wanted to turn the castle over, Mesa was indifferent and not active at all.It was as if he had forgotten the bet between the two parties.

Sometimes Mesa behaves like a retired veteran cadre, spending all day either in the library or in his dormitory.His activities are also the same: reading and reading newspapers.

Sometimes Mesa seemed to be possessed by a street kid, wandering around the castle with his hands behind his back, and from time to time he would chat with the portrait.

Although Mesa didn't have Hua Zi in his bag, nor did he have a good big brother to introduce him to the project, he did have a good big sister from Hufflepuff.

Since their first acquaintance, Tonks would often come to Mesa, sometimes just to chat, or even drag Mesa outside when the weather was nice.

The appearance of Tonks adds another touch of color to Mesa's boring life.

Beneath her lively and cheerful appearance, Tonks also hides a troublesome and daredevil side.Her pranks were always funny and her rashness always made people laugh.

After getting along for a while, Mesa also learned that Tonks' name was Nymphadora.This is a name with a very good meaning, a gift from the fairy.

However, Tonks herself disliked her fairy-like name very much and only allowed Mesa to call her by her last name "Tonks".

"You would do the same thing if your stupid mother called you Nymphadora." Tonks would reply with this sentence whenever Mesa asked why.

It wasn't until one day in early March that the innocent Mesa accidentally figured out the reason and understood why Tonks disliked her name so much.

It turns out that "nympha" is an ugly word, and its pronunciation is similar to "nympho."

Anyone who has some kind of organ in their name and also sounds like an LSP is not going to like their name.Especially the person with this name is a girl.

Mesa deeply sympathized with Tonks, a name with too many elements, and was especially grateful to her parents.

Although they abandoned Mesa on the street, at least they were not as hasty as Mrs. Tonks in naming her, and they did not leave Mesa with a lifelong psychological shadow.

Just when Mesa was trying to verify the area of ​​​​the psychological shadow, a copy of the "Daily Prophet" from many years ago appeared, providing new ideas for Mesa's problem-solving process.

This old newspaper published Mulciber's name, along with the many crimes against him, and the results of the Ministry of Magic's trial.
