On the court, several students who were interested in participating in player selection began taking turns to try out under the command of team captain Benjamin Bruce.
In the stands, Eddie kept commenting on the performance of these students.
“Ha! That boy Andrew got worse grades than me in the first-grade flying class, but he actually has the courage to participate in the player selection? Look, his flying speed is slower than that of a woodcock!”
“Is that Chambers? That kid’s skills are really good. Maybe he can fill the vacancy of the team’s chaser and form an unpopular partner with that annoying Roger.”
“Beautiful! Look, Qiu Zhang is very beautiful, isn’t she? If you ask me, Bruce should just let her become the seeker. Anyway, our current seeker’s performance in previous games is really not very good…”
“Thank you for your explanation, Eddie.” Scott said angrily, “Although the most useful part is only one sentence, it reminds me of a piece of trivia I read in the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was a child.”
At this time, Milton asked in a light tone: “Scott, which piece of trivia are you talking about?”
“Oh, of course it’s the sentence ‘Andrew flies slower than the woodcock.’ The woodcock is the slowest flying bird in the world.” Eddie answered proudly.
Milton blinked, turned to Scott and said: “I think I should read some additional Muggle books, such as the “Encyclopedia Britannica” you mentioned, which may enhance my understanding of the Muggle world.”
Eddie was shocked when he heard what he said, “You haven’t read the Encyclopedia Britannica? Well…if I remember correctly, you are a mixed race?”
Milton said: “Yes, my mother was a Muggle, but she never had a say in my education.”
“Okay.” Eddie was measured and didn’t ask further, “But I want to remind you that this set of books has many volumes, and it was even increased to 32 volumes in 1985. And each volume is very thick.”
But Milton seemed very interested, “Okay, I found something that I should do during the Christmas holiday, and that is to buy 32 books.”
“I recommend you read that set of books, Milton,” Scott said. “After reading it, you will have a better understanding of the world we live in.”
“I will……”
“Hey, look over there!” Eddie suddenly interrupted Milton, “The Slytherin team is here too.”
Scott looked up and saw a group of Slytherin students in green robes carrying brooms across the lawn outside the stadium.
At this time, Benjamin Bruce also saw the Slytherin students, and he took several Ravenclaw players to greet them.
“Are they going to fight?” Eddie asked expectantly. He had stood up from his seat.
“No.” Scott said calmly, “We are Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor.”
Sure enough, after negotiations between Benjamin Bruce and Marcus Flint, the captain of the Slytherin team, both sides occupied half of the stadium.
After a while, Eddie complained, “It’s boring. They have been more conservative since Slytherin came. I think we should go back to Ravenclaw Tower.”
Scott agreed with his proposal, “It’s neither training nor a game. There is really no need to sit here and watch Bruce and Flint defend each other.”
Milton, of course, had no objection.
The three of them left the stands and walked outside the stadium without notifying Roger at all.
At this time, another group of Slytherin female students came over from the other side of the lawn.
“Hey, did you see the blond girl walking next to Parkinson?” Eddie suddenly became excited and lowered his voice, “Jasmine Travers is the most beautiful girl among the freshmen this year. “
Scott glanced after hearing this, and happened to meet Jasmine Travers’ eyes.
The girl does have an amazingly beautiful appearance, with brilliant blond hair, a pair of deep silver-gray eyes, pale skin, and rosy lips.
When Scott looked at her inadvertently, the girl did not dodge her eyes, but smiled slightly.
She was like a little princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale, with a proud yet fragile look between her eyebrows.
Next, the three Ravenclaw boys and the Slytherin girls passed by each other quietly, and no one made a sound.
After Scott and the three of them walked across the lawn in silence, Eddie immediately spoke cheerfully, “Did Miss Travers smile at you just now, Scott! I really have you, and I captured you so easily.” That Miss Travers’ heart.”
Scott frowned at this time. He stopped and said to Eddie in a serious tone: “You’d better shut up, Eddie. That girl is not as simple as she appears.”
“I know what you want to say, Scott.” Eddie didn’t care, “The head of the Travers family is a Death Eater who follows a mysterious man, and is he still imprisoned in Azkaban?”
Scott continued walking forward, “It’s good that you know. Anyway, you’d better not let your jokes reach Miss Travers’s ears, otherwise you will get yourself and me into trouble.” “
“Hey! What you said is too serious.” Eddie chased after him, “You should take a good look at Miss Travers, that girl who looks so beautiful and fragile, how could she…”
“Eddie.”
Scott stopped again, turned around, and looked into Eddie’s eyes.
“I solemnly remind you!”
“Eddie.” Milton patted Eddie’s shoulder, “You should believe Scott’s words, don’t forget the gift he gave to Professor Flitwick.”
“Gift? That painting?”
Eddie’s face changed immediately when he thought of the meaning of the painting.
The painting that Scott gave to Professor Flitwick was another hot topic in Hogwarts Castle in the first few days of school besides “Potter’s flying car”.
“You…are you telling the truth?” He still seemed a little unbelievable, “Did you sense her magic?”
“At least I think no student in Hogwarts can pretend in front of me.” Scott stared at him again, turned around and walked towards the castle.
Milton patted Eddie’s shoulder again and followed Scott’s footsteps.
“I know, wait for me.”
Eddie came back to his senses from the shock and hurriedly chased after him.
“I didn’t expect…” He said in a surprised tone, “The lady looked like a fragile item like porcelain, but Scott said she was not easy to mess with.”
“This is not a Muggle society, Eddie.”
Scott said a few more words because Eddie always had a sense of propriety.
“Regarding your little hobbies, although they are harmless most of the time, you should remember when you should shut up.”
“In addition, the lady is not simply not easy to mess with, she…”
Scott lowered his voice and said another sentence, causing Eddie and Milton to change their faces at the same time.
The book has been signed.
