As Lord Voldemort and the dark forces became more active, this kind of separation would become more and more common. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the atmosphere of despair and panic would envelop the country. As a unique group, the feelings of the students would also become particularly sensitive.
Looking at the sad Lavender and Parvati, thinking about the recent changes in the school, Elwyn finally understood why Lady Weasley told them during the summer vacation about what happened during the last Wizard War. That kind of war and the feeling of impending panic.
No matter how many times he heard others talk about it, only when he was really there would he feel this kind of atmosphere.
Last time when Lord Voldemort was in power, the students of the Hogwarts were anxious and had a feeling of precariousness.
Things that needed time to think about were all decided in a hurry.
At that time, in the school, there were people eloping or deciding life events everywhere. No one was willing to miss it.
Even if they were too young, even if they didn't think it through, even if they didn't get the consent of their families, even if …
But no one cared. As long as there was love, it was enough. Many students became lovers like this.
Mr. Weasley and Lady Weasley were the same. In the words of Lady Weasley, the two of them were already in love. They were a match made in heaven. There was no need to continue waiting. They could get married directly. They didn't even need to wait until they graduated or get the consent of their families. If both sides thought it was possible, then they could be together …
The situation of spreading panic made the students unwilling to waste any more time waiting.
Now, the Hogwarts and the British magic world would face the same situation. Something similar would probably happen.
No one knew how many people would end up together in the end, but Elwyn felt that if the situation really deteriorated to a certain extent, before the final battle, he would definitely choose to marry Hermione first instead of leaving behind any regrets. He believed that Hermione would feel the same.
At that time, the proposal would not feel very sudden or sloppy. This was probably the only good thing that Lord Voldemort brought.
Think about it, if there was no such atmosphere, Elwyn would go to Hermione's place at night to propose …
He would probably be kicked out of the bed by Hermione.
As the group of people walked through the chilly, misty drizzle and walked towards the court below the castle, Elwyn's thoughts drifted in this strange direction for a long time. He was thinking about the probability of Hermione agreeing or rejecting, but he was not completely sure.
But logically speaking, Hermione shouldn't have refused, so what was he waiting for?
Marriage was the next step in a relationship. It was the proof of love. At the same time, it also meant that they could do a lot of things that they couldn't do now …
"Do you think Elaine will be selected?"
"What?!" Elwyn came back to his senses. He and Hermione were sitting in the audience.
The Quidditch Qualifier received special attention. Nearly half of the students in Gryffindor Academy had signed up to participate. Almost everyone in the academy had come to watch the qualifier. Many people from other academies had also come, including students from Slytherin Academy.
Unknowingly, the audience was already filled with people, as if it was a real Quidditch match.
On the field below, many first years could be seen nervously clutching a few worn-out old brooms that they had picked out from the academy's warehouse. The seventh years at the front of the line were tall and big, standing out like a crane among a flock of chickens. Their aura was quite intimidating.
But the one with the strongest aura was probably Elaine. She walked into the field and glanced at the long line. Unlike Ron, she did not wait in her own grade's area. Instead, she walked with Harry to the front of the line, completely ignoring the suffocating gazes.
Just like that, a fair-skinned, slender girl with wine-red eyes suddenly appeared in front of a group of tall, towering, and intimidating 7th grade students. She looked soft and cute, and she seemed like an easy target to bully. It was a very incongruous scene.
Although she was about the same size as the first and second graders, Elijah was able to suppress all the seventh graders with her imposing manner.
Now, the scene of her alone holding a crossbow in front of a group of seventh years, but no one dared to say anything …
Elaine was easy to bully? If something really happened, who knew who would be the bully?
Many of the lower grade students at the back of the line looked at her with admiration and even worship.
This child was not the kind of person who liked to be in the limelight, but she would always do things that people could not ignore unintentionally.
"Elaine is competing for the Ball Chaser. Do you think she will be selected?" Hermione asked again, wondering why Elwyn was in a daze.
She still did not know that Elwyn was actually thinking about the proposal and what would happen after …
"I don't think it's a big problem. Even if she is eliminated, it's not a big deal. She's just there to play, "Elwyn said, looking for familiar figures in the messy line." Aria, Ginny, Richie, and Demirza are not a big problem. They will definitely return. If the Frobisher siblings are willing, there won't be a problem, but I heard from Wicky before I went to bed the night before yesterday that he and his sister are planning to give up on the selection this time. They would rather spend their time on their own social activities. And Corin, that guy and his brother Dennis signed up too. He told me that they signed up to support Harry, so I don't think it'll be a problem. As for Ron, he should be fine. If he's not nervous … "
Ron's main competitors from last year's selection did not participate in the selection this year.
Vicky gave up. He didn't want to waste his precious social time on Quidditch practice.
As for Jeffrey Hooper, Elwyn still remembered him complaining about the weather, venue, brooms and other trivial things during the selection last year. He was even unwilling to be a substitute, and in the end, he was kicked out by Angelina. It seemed to have hurt his self-esteem.
Therefore, he did not participate in the selection this year. There should be no one better at goalkeeping than Ron …
Elwyn explained his analysis to Hermione. On the field below, a big guy with coarse hair walked out from the front of the line and stopped in front of Harry. Harry immediately recognized him as the boy from the Hogwarts express train.
"Hello, Harry Potter! We met on the train, in the old slug's compartment. " He said confidently, extending his hand to shake Harry's. "Cormac McLagan, goalkeeper."
"You didn't participate in the selection last year, did you?" Harry noticed that McLagan was tall and sturdy.
This meant that even if he just stood there without moving, he would probably be able to block all three of the goals.
"I was still in the hospital when they had the selection last year," McLagan boasted. "I made a bet with someone that I ate a pound of foxy eggs," McClagan said, a little boastfully.
"Oh!" Harry said, "Well, you can go back and wait …"
He pointed to the line, and a look of annoyance flashed across McLagan's face.
What was this guy thinking? Harry couldn't help but wonder. Did he think that after they had an embarrassing lunch together at Slughorn's, he would get some special treatment from me?
Judging from McLagan's behavior on the train, it seemed that he really had such a plan. This guy was Slughorn's favorite, and he knew exactly what Slughorn wanted to hear. He had been showing off his uncle, who was a senior executive in the Ministry of Magic, and emphasized his relationship with the Ministry of Magic's minister.
So, he probably planned to use his relationship with Harry …
Harry didn't like him, and McLagan had to compete for the goalkeeper position. How was his technique?
