The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Facing Cassandra's proposal, Hermione was obviously moved, but still a little hesitant:

"But we don't have a broomstick, and we haven't even tried flying..."

The flying lessons for Gryffindor and Slytherin were on Thursday afternoon, but it has now entered autumn, and the climate in the Scottish Highlands is already cold and rainy. This Thursday, due to a sudden heavy rain, the flying lessons were temporarily suspended. Canceled, which means Hermione has never touched a broomstick since entering school.

While in Diagon Alley, her father once asked the price of a flying broomstick, and the answer he received was 599 Galleons. Hermione had known since then that she probably wouldn't have her own broomstick until she graduated.

Cassandra patted her chest and said confidently:

"It doesn't matter, Professor Snape will find a way."

Harley was puzzled: "How do you know?"

"Because Professor Snape personally said that I can bring my friends to participate."

Cassandra explained, then raised her beautiful and long neck like a swan, and said proudly:

"Hmph, be glad, this is the treatment you can only enjoy as my friends!"

On the long table in Ravenclaw, the eldest sister with curly brown hair sat next to Ash and said with concern:

"Ash, what happened between you and Cho Chang?"

Ash, who was looking at Harley and the three of them, looked back and asked doubtfully:

"Why do you ask?"

Penello said softly:

"I saw Qiu Zhang in the bell tower courtyard. She was crying very sadly. Did you two quarrel?"

Ash was silent for a moment and whispered:

"No, it's nothing, it's just..."

He hesitated to speak, as if it was difficult to speak.

Penello asked with concern:

"Just what?"

"It's just that she seemed a little angry because I said I liked Penelo-senpai."

A happy smile appeared on Penello's face. Just as he was about to ask Ash how much he liked it, he heard Ash add:

"Like her too."

Penello's smile froze slightly, with an incredible look on his face:

"Is this what you and Qiu Zhang said?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded slightly and asked innocently, "Is there any problem?"

Penello raised his green-white index finger and tapped Ash's head, and said angrily:

"How could you say such things to a girl casually? Even I would be angry!"

My junior is really greedy! Not only do you need a piece of candy, but also love?

Ash gently grabbed Penelo's hand under the table, stared into her eyes, and asked softly:

"Senior, are you angry?"

"..." Penello was a little helpless, why should I be angry when you ask me like this?

She sighed, took out a delicate gift box from her pocket and handed it to Ash:

"This is the gift I promised you."

Ash knew it was safe when he saw Penelo's appearance.

So the eldest sister is still broad-minded, in every sense of the word.

As for Qiu Zhang, she must be punished.

Lu Xun once said: Without PUA, it is useless, only PUA can become a great weapon!

Harley and Cassandra returned to the long Slytherin table, sat behind Ash, and asked excitedly:

"Now, Ash, Professor Snape will teach us flying lessons in person tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"

Ash swallowed the steak in his mouth and said:

"Harry, is Professor Snape here to teach you specifically?"

"not like this,"

Harry shook his head and explained clearly:

"It was Cassandra's father, Professor Snape, who trained Cassandra, and Professor Snape said that Cassandra could bring her friends with her."

Ash's expression was a little subtle. He was 100% sure that Snape's target was Harley, and Lucius's commission gave Snape a perfect excuse - he wanted to teach Cassandra, and Harley was just By the way.

There is a saying that the curve saved the country.

Cassandra maintained her elegance and arrogance and pretended to ask casually:

"So, are you coming?"

She hid her expectations very well.

Ash thought for a moment and declined politely:

"Sorry, let's forget it."

Mainly because Professor Snape probably wouldn't want to see him, either because of the potion or because of Harry.

Cassandra's eyes flashed with unconcealable disappointment. She pursed her lips, held the knife and fork slightly harder in her palms, and said harshly:

"If you don't go, you won't go. What does it matter? You say it as if no one cares."

Ash spread his hands and explained:

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I think Professor Snape might not welcome me."

Kassandra's face turned pale and she whispered:

"How do you know if you haven't even gone?"

Senior Penello, who was sitting next to Ash, her eyes brightened slightly and she asked curiously:

"Ash, do you like Quidditch?"

Ash thought for a moment and said:

"I probably like it quite a bit."

Not really, he had never participated in Quidditch once, not even for training.

Ordinary students might find the Quidditch game exciting enough, but Ash a hundred years ago found it less exciting than his experiment.

One hundred years later, although Ash was temporarily unable to continue his experiments, he still felt that there were more exciting things to do - only a kid would catch Quaffles, Bludgers and Golden Snitches, real men If you want to catch it, grab the flannel ball!

Senior Penello asked with a smile:

"Then do you want to try out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?"

Ash wanted to refuse, but when he said the words, he suddenly showed an emotional expression and said hesitantly:

"But, it seems that first-year students can't participate in the selection, right?"

Senior Penello stroked a strand of hair with her palms and deliberately concealed her pride with an indifferent tone:

"Of course ordinary students can't, but as the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, I can certainly have some privileges."

"Senior is so awesome." Ash said sincerely.

"Hmm~" Senior Sister Penello was obviously very pleased with this, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "If you can praise me, praise me more. I like to hear it."

——

With the comfort of her friend Marietta, Qiu Zhang managed to cheer up and went to the auditorium. As soon as she arrived in the auditorium, she immediately saw Ash chatting and laughing with Penello in front of the Ravenclaw table.

Seeing this scene, the girl felt a sting in her heart, and she felt inexplicably sour and bitter.

She should have been responsible for all this, because she was the first person to become friends with Ash in Ravenclaw!

But now, she is the first to be eliminated.

She wanted to explain to Ash. She knew Ash would never refuse, but could their relationship go back to what it was before?

Or should she take the initiative to end it all?

Maybe her choice was wrong from the beginning, and Ash couldn't accommodate her unless...

"Do I have any other choice?" Qiu Zhang thought in a daze.

"Qiu, are you okay?" Marietta looked worried.

Qiu Zhang forced a smile and said softly:

"I'm fine, I just suddenly figured out something."
