Unlike Allen, who was popular among the freshmen, Harry watched the freshmen, including Ron, nervously following behind Hermione. He was sure that he had not looked so immature when he first came here.
When Harry grinned at the freshmen, they seemed to be stunned. A boy with blond hair next to Euan Abercrombie nudged him with his elbow and whispered something into his ear. Euan Abercrombie also looked very scared. He secretly looked at Harry with frightened eyes. Harry felt the smile on his face disappear like stinky juice.
Baffled, Harry pushed open the door of his dormitory. Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan had already arrived at the dormitory and were pasting posters and photos on the wall beside his bed. They were talking when Harry pushed the door open, but they suddenly stopped talking when they saw him. Harry first suspected that they were talking about him, and then he suspected that he was being paranoid.
???? Soon, he realized that it was not his illusion. It had been going on for many days. Every time he was on his way to the classroom, he tried not to pay attention to the stares of people, as well as their whispered discussions and pointing fingers. During the summer vacation, The Daily Prophet kept making up stories about him and Dumbledore, making them sound like lunatics. It seemed that no one was willing to admit the fact that the Mystery Man had returned.
What made Harry even sadder was that even though he was Gryffindor, there were still a large number of people who didn't believe him. For example, Seamus, who used to live in the same dormitory as him, had an argument with him about the authenticity of the report. After Ron stood up for him, and the argument involved Seamus's mother, Harry had been clamoring for a change of dormitory. However, one thing that comforted Harry was that although Umrich, the observer sent by the Ministry of Magic, followed him every day with a notebook and kept taking notes, she did not do anything special and did not affect the professors' normal classes.
Hermione saw all of this in her eyes. Her heart was also very conflicted. She had already learned the truth from Eren. She promised Eren that she would keep it a secret, otherwise it would destroy his plan. But when she saw Harry and Dumbledore being misunderstood and her friend being isolated and gloomy every day, Hermione couldn't help but feel sad for him.
It seemed that all the warmth had been used up during the hot August summer vacation. The weather in September was particularly cold, and the sky was always grey and it was raining constantly. However, this did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for Quidditch. Gryffindor's new captain, Angelina, was impatient to wait for the weather to clear up and decided to hold a goalkeeper selection on Friday. Their former captain, Wood, was a very good goalkeeper, but he had already graduated.
Ravenclaw's behaviour was even more worrying. Unlike other academies, they did not train or hold any selections on the field at all. It was only during breakfast that they found that Ravenclaw's new captain, Allen, seemed to have a lot more letters than usual. Someone secretly glanced at the envelope and found that the sender was Geraldine. Allen was communicating with the coach who led England to Quidditch in the World Cup last year!
What was even more shocking was the news from Ravenclaw that Allen, as the captain, was not going to play in Quidditch this semester. Instead, he was going to help the team formulate training plans and tactical arrangements as a coach!
Gryffindor felt very lucky on Friday. They did not have to face the world's best ball finder this year. Plus, it was raining heavily the day before, but the sun was shining brightly today.
However, Harry and the others' good mood lasted until they left the locker room and went to the sunny field outside.
As soon as they came out, they heard a burst of screams and mocking laughter. It was the members of the Slytherin Quidditch team and some wizards who believed in the Daily Prophet formed an anti- Harry alliance. They gathered in the middle of the empty stands and constantly mocked him.
The selection had been a nightmare. Apart from the harsh mockery, Ron had been too excited when he was teleporting the Ghost Fly Ball, and he had bumped into Katie's face. Worse still, Katie's nose was bleeding profusely. This made the Slytherin on the field stomp their feet and mock him.
They even wrote a song called "Weasley is Our King" to mock Gryffindor's goalkeeping skills. Every time Slytherin's students sang this song, Ron, who was not mentally strong, would be hit by the ridicule and humiliation and lose his confidence. He would lose the ball and let the opponent score.
However, in the end, under the strong support of the ball finder Harry, Ron got his wish and became the goalkeeper of Gryffindor Quidditch team. When the Gryffindor players returned to the locker room dejectedly, someone suddenly mentioned Ravenclaw.
"Actually, we don't have to worry about Slytherin. We're more worried about Ravenclaw. Although this is the first time I've heard that a team of Hogwarts level like Quidditch needs a coach … A few days ago, news came that Allen had decided not to participate in the competition. In theory, they've lost the best ball finder in the world. Gryffindor has Harry Potter, so our chances of winning are very high. However, I heard that Ravenclaw has booked the stadium for next Wednesday. It seems that the selection and training are finally going to start. Maybe we can go and take a look. I mean, it's Allen after all. Don't tell me he doesn't have other plans? " George saw Fred take out a purple fast-acting nasal blood sugar pill from his pocket. He was stunned for a second and suddenly turned around to look at Katie who was still bleeding. He was obviously frightened.
George looked nervous all of a sudden and stopped talking. He remembered that he and Fred wanted to test the effects of the fast-acting nasal blood sugar on Katie yesterday and tricked her into taking one. At that time, they didn't find any effect and the two of them were still studying how to improve it. They didn't expect the effects to be delayed until today.
Angelina felt that George was right. In order to understand the situation, she requested that all the Gryffindor players attend Ravenclaw's selection and training next Wednesday.
Interestingly enough, after the Gryffindor selection, the weather returned to its rainy state. It was only until Ravenclaw's selection that it was sunny and pleasant again.
Most of the Hogwarts students came to the Quidditch stadium to enjoy what might be the last bit of sunshine of the year.
Sure enough, as the rumours said, Allen Harris didn't change into his jersey. Instead, he flew beside the team and arranged the team's training and selection of new players.
What attracted the attention of these young wizards the most was not the Ravenclaw Quidditch players flying in the sky, but the machines set up at various angles in the stands.
"Camera, this is a special camera for wizards to use on TV. The things that can be shown on TV are all thanks to this thing. It was modified by my father." George watched excitedly as the arm of the camera stretched out to capture the figures of the players flying into the distance.
"Look, isn't that Colin Creevey from our academy?" George nudged Fred in confusion.
"Why is he behind Ravenclaw's camera?" Fred was also surprised.
"I heard from Hermione a few days ago that Allen couldn't find so many young wizards with talent for filming in the academy, so he asked her to help invite Colin," explained Harry after overhearing the conversation between George and Fred.
Hermione and Luna were also sitting on the edge of the stands, watching Allen instruct the players in the training. In fact, Hermione's flying ability had been greatly improved after taking the attribute potion. However, when she was in her first year, she wasn't as outstanding in flying as in other subjects, so she developed a dislike for this class. Although it couldn't be said that she hated Quidditch because of this, it was enough to prevent her from personally participating in the competition.
However, she was a little curious about one thing. She tilted her head and looked at Luna and asked, "Luna, don't you usually like to watch Quidditch? Why don't you participate in the selection of Ravenclaw Quidditch players?"
"I like to watch Quidditch, but I don't like brooms," replied Luna in a recitative voice.
