A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 828 Dribbling Master

Umbridge is sick.

I'm in the hospital, in a private room with a small balcony.

It wasn't special treatment, but rather the "snail rice noodle" smell on her that she just couldn't wash off.

When someone emits such a foul odor that it could stink an entire floor, and they still stay in the school hospital... how are the other patients supposed to live?

Mrs. Pomfrey thought that Umbridge needed frequent baths, not hospitalization... so she sent her to a secluded attic to "recover".

Umbridge was somewhat annoyed, but after this incident, he dared not say anything more.

He simply wrote to Fudge that very night, asking him to send an Auror to protect him.

Of the three Aurors who went to Vienna together, one went to Azkaban, while the other two eventually ended up at Hogwarts.

He spent his days guarding the entrance, serving as Umbridge's bodyguard.

The two could always hear Umbridge yelling: Someone wants to harm her!

That's right, I'm talking about Mischievous Ghost.

Peeves was also aggrieved. He had indeed secretly visited Umbridge late at night recently, but only to explain things to her:

I did not attack her!

he,

Mischievous Ghost

Although mischievous and playful, he's still a great ghost!

We ate a bowl of noodles, so we only paid for the bowl of noodles... If they say there was no attack, then there was no attack!

You insist on putting this label on me... Isn't this bullying an honest person?

Believe me or not, I'll commit suicide to prove my innocence? Fine, it's just a ghost, no matter how many oaths you swear, it's useless.

The other ghosts also distanced themselves from Pippi, and Blood Man Barrow even came looking for him several times, saying he would teach him a lesson.

He's too scared to even go into the kitchen now, so he can't play pranks!

The mischievous ghost is feeling very wronged...JPG.

But in everyone's eyes, the more Mischievous Ghost acts like this, the more guilty he seems.

For several days in a row, the students didn't talk about anything else but the whole time they were talking about Umbridge being attacked by Peeves.

Myrtle was overjoyed, and boys often came up to her asking what had happened that day.

For example, Ron would make a point of coming every day to hear Myrtle tell this "joyful" story.

He laughed along as she got into it, then left satisfied, still excitedly commenting with Harry.

But a few days later, rumors spread at Hogwarts that Ron was Peeves' accomplice.

It's his fault for taking it so seriously!

Ron couldn't laugh anymore; tears welled up inside him.

Filch's performance has made this incident unforgettable for everyone.

Wearing a thick mask and carrying a thick pipe, he was repairing the washroom.

I never expected Filch to have this skill. Sure enough, those who can work at Hogwarts are extraordinary people.

The happiest person after Umbridge was hospitalized was Professor Snape, who could once again serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a while.

He suddenly discovered a good method.

As long as Umbridge remains hospitalized, he will continue to be the substitute teacher.

In name only, Umbridge is still the teacher, so even if there really is a curse in the end, she will be the one to bear it.

If Umbridge knew what Snape was thinking, she would probably be so shocked that she would sit up in a panic and fire him on the spot.

William originally intended to resign.

But Professor McGonagall wouldn't approve it. Instead, she made empty promises, asking him to teach for a while longer, saying she would make him a full-fledged teacher.

There's no specific timeframe, William doesn't believe you for a second!

……

As November arrived, the weather suddenly turned cold, but everyone's hearts remained warm, burning with passion.

The long-awaited Quidditch match is finally about to begin.

Last year's champions and runners-up – Ravenclaw and Gryffindor – will play the opening game.

Most students favor Ravenclaw because they have... the undisputed best chaser, Stark.

Since William joined the team in his second year, he has helped Ravenclaw win two championships.

If it weren't for the Chamber of Secrets attack and last year's Triwizard Tournament, which caused Quidditch to be suspended for two years, Ravenclaw might have already established a four-peat!

But don't worry, this year is a great opportunity to win a third championship and establish the Ravenclaw dynasty.

The school is currently compiling a list of the 50 greatest Quidditch players of the 20th century at Hogwarts.

Many people are already praising William, saying he's second in history and arguably the greatest chaser of all time.

All that's left is to claim a three-peat and be crowned the new king!

As for Gryffindor, they went nine years without a title and... most of their roster has been replaced.

A bunch of noobs... nobody thinks they'll amount to anything.

Angelina is under too much pressure; she's become like Wood, insisting on training intensely every day.

Extra training before the competition, trying to squeeze out the players' potential... it's a Gryffindor tradition.

Slytherin and Hufflepuff are also very interested in this match.

The Green Snakes naturally wanted Ravenclaw to win, since they disliked the Lion Dogs more.

The badgers, on the other hand, turned to Gryffindor, hoping to see Ravenclaw lose so that Hufflepuff would have a chance to win.

Although the deans of the colleges outwardly appeared carefree, they were secretly scheming against each other.

Professor Flitwick would stand by his office window every day with his binoculars, observing the competition venue.

Trying to understand Gryffindor's tactics.

Professor McGonagall also hopes to redeem herself; she wants to win the Quidditch Cup so badly that she's almost developing depression.

She even wished she could personally play in the match!

A week before the competition, she exempted the Gryffindor players from their homework, but assigned a lot of homework to the Ravenclaws.

They euphemistically call it... academics first, competitions second.

Snape was also a crucial assist.

In his view, as long as it's Gryffindor, we're friends!

Even though Slytherin had no matches this week, he deliberately rented a stadium for them, intentionally making things difficult for Gryffindor.

He ignored reports that Slytherin students attempted to use magic to attack Gryffindor players in the corridors.

When Arya Spinnet's eyebrows grew so long they covered her eyes and mouth and she was taken to the school hospital, Snape insisted that she had used a hair-growth charm on herself.

They refused to listen to the testimonies of fourteen eyewitnesses.

In no time, Ravenclaw's students all became Snape's fans.

William continued to train his team as usual.

He doesn't believe in brutal training, he only believes in health-preserving Quidditch.

In his previous life, there was an NBA player who drank goji berry tea and played health-conscious basketball...

Everyone says he can play until he's sixty, and he might even average twenty points per game.

William certainly won't play until he's sixty, but he's in hot form, and that's the source of his confidence.

Although he hadn't played a match in a year and a half, William was still very skilled.

After so many years of time loops, William finally had the chance to leave Hogwarts, so he went to various clubs and played against professional players.

Because of his reputation, everyone gives him face... Besides, isn't there a rumor that Stark wants to buy the club?

Many poorly managed Quidditch clubs are hoping William will take over.

William's motivation was partly to hone his skills, but he also genuinely wanted to scout out Quidditch clubs.

Spots at top clubs are hard to come by, even for the old "Big Three" clubs:

Montrose Magpies, Balicas Bats, and Pudmir United... they've all fallen on hard times, yet their prices are still incredibly high.

As for the Charles Artillery Corps, they're relics from the last century.

Its fans are all long gone, or they're just old wizards like Dumbledore.

The price is alright, but it seems to be cursed, just like the Defense Against the Dark Arts position... It's a bottom-feeder year after year, never making the playoffs.

Once we've figured out Hermione's curse, we might consider this team.

However, while William was determined to crush Gryffindor, Hermione wouldn't give him the chance.

The night before the competition, after teaching her Occlumency, she told William not to go back to his dorm, but to stay in the Room of Requirement and "chat" with her.

William decisively rejected the advances:

"No, the competition is tomorrow, I need to be in top form!"

He wanted to give it his all and see how much his skills had improved. He couldn't wait to play and didn't want to relax at all.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "You don't dare stay?"

William was furious upon hearing this. How dare they challenge his abilities?!

He's a historically great chaser; even when double-teamed by multiple players, he can easily break through and reach third base.

Does Hermione really think she can stop him and turn him into a timid wretch?

Hmph, you're overthinking it!

William was going to show Hermione what a true stamina athlete was tonight.

What does it mean to be a dribbling master?
