Chapter 340 Clever Malfoy
In most cases, the young wizards of Hufflepuff House are friendly and kind.
However, this does not mean that all individuals have the same personality. In fact, after so many years, each house will have some awkward individuals.
Zacharias Smith turned out to be one of the few special personalities, not to mention how malicious he would become in the future. In fact, if one were to have an issue with his nature, the problem would be rather straightforward.
According to people's experience for thousands of years, the most irritating and annoying individuals are never those terrible opponents but rather the teammates and fellow students who are on the same side as you, one harms you, and the other criticizes you.
As the successor of Cedric Diggory, who was the captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team in the original book, Zacharias Smith had no major issues with his abilities. Not to mention that, if the original book's storyline were to unfold, he would even become one of the initial members of the "Dumbledore's Army". Except for choosing to flee in the final battle, he had almost no blemish on his political perspective...
The only problem is that this boy is a fairly well-known troublemaker.
If not for the late selection process for which Ms. Huo Qi was solely responsible, according to Elena's original idea, she had no intention of dragging this unknown boy into her own team. Together, the occasional teammates confirmed that it was not a big deal to bring a passerby to lie and win, but if the rider who rides is going to be compelled to complain...
"Zacharias, I don't think there's anything wrong with what the Big Sister said."
Capturing the dangerous smile on Elena's lips, Draco Malfoy's eyes blinked, instantly remembering the "friendly" conversation he had a few days ago in History of Magic class, and unconsciously unleashed a cold war.
Before waiting for Zacharias Smith to continue speaking, Malfoy turned around without hesitation and took the initiative to confront the blond Hufflepuff student.
"Don't forget that the reason the school established the first-year Quidditch team was because of the performance and proposal of Elena's sister, if it weren't for the older sister..."
"It's alright, Draco," said Elena.
She was not at all surprised by Zacharias Smith's doubts.
After all, she was very well-known and had been at Hogwarts Castle for a little over a week. Most young wizards knew more about her through various rumors spread in the school.
Over time, as the young wizards began to come into contact with the broader magical world, the image of Elena in the minds of the first-year young wizards became blurred... as Grindelwald said, personal cult-based follow-up is short and superficial, that's why he always looked down on Voldemort.
And what Elena has to do now is to gradually leave her own mark on Hogwarts.
From daily diet to daily course content; from perfecting rules and regulations to a new definition of entertainment... When Hogwarts completely changes to her form, the teachers and students living in this school will be her most solid and reliable support for the magical world.
If she were in a good mood at other times, Elena might explain a bit of patience to Zacharias and spend some energy devising a set of impeccable reasons.
But unfortunately, Elena does not feel like arguing with this bar.
Sometimes, simply being arbitrarily capricious will have some unexpected effects; after all, scaring the monkeys by killing the chickens is not something that can be accomplished by killing alone. Usually, it also requires that the fat chickens with short eyes take the initiative to peck.
"Not convinced? Alright."
Elena looked calmly at Zacharias's face and smiled slightly.
"It doesn't matter. When we determine the team position tomorrow afternoon, you can come and challenge me. No matter what position you want to play, as long as you can defeat me, there will be no problem for you to replace the Quidditch Captain."
"Elena..."
Hannah, who was seated behind Elena, stood up anxiously, tugged at the girl's sleeve, and whispered.
"It's okay..."
Elena lightly caressed Hannah's hand and turned around, showing a reassuring look. After a pause, she looked at the young wizards around her and spoke slowly.
"Not only for Zacharias Smith, this challenge process applies to all of you, of course, the consequence of failing is to leave."
"Well, great, I hope you remember what you said tomorrow."
Zacharias Smith looked at the crowd in silence. The expression on his face became particularly embarrassed. After throwing a harsh word at his head, he went to sit on the other side of the table.
It must be said that this result is completely unpredictable for Zacharias.
In his original idea, he only needed to wave his arm, and he would surely get a lot of response and echo, and then everyone would join together to pressure Elena... in fact, he didn't want to challenge anything, he just wanted to attract a bit of attention from Elena through this behavior, so that Elena understands that if she wants to lead the Quidditch team, she must get his consent and support.
After Zacharias left, the few remaining wizards looked at each other.
"Sister, you were too impulsive just now."
Ron swallowed his saliva and looked at Elena with uncertainty, daring to whisper boldly.
"Yes, I mean if you really accidentally get beaten tomorrow, what should we do?"
"Calm down, that situation doesn't exist."
Elena gestured to the young wizards, revealing a meaningful smile, and spoke lightly.
"If he comes to the Quidditch stadium tomorrow, really daring enough to mount a broomstick to challenge me, I'll look at him in his place. By the way, Draco..."
In the midst of the conversation, Elena suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the little Slytherin wizard in front of her.
"I understand now! Sister Elena."
Before Elena could finish speaking, Draco Malfoy looked thoughtfully at Zakarais, not far away, gritted his teeth and showed a murderous expression, nodding firmly.
"Sister Elena, just leave the rest to me. Gore, Crabbe, follow me..."
"Hey! Stop! What do you intend to do?"
Elena looked puzzled at Draco's murderous face, a pair of him that seemed like he was going to wreak havoc in the field, she rubbed her head with some headache, this boy, how has his painting style become like this, well? What happened to the elegant British gentleman? How did he suddenly turn into the vision of the red double-flower stick in Gudouza?
"I mean... remember to write a letter to the family tonight to tell them the good news. If I remember correctly, your father seems to be worried about you. It's better to stay in touch at home."
