Chapter 273

Harry spent two days consulting various girls and finally figured out how to make himself not so easily recognized.

He combined a glasses invisibility spell, a forehead concealer, and a bridge of the nose highlighter as his makeup spell. And, according to Luna, an important supplementary basis for many people to judge that Harry is Harry is that there is a red-haired Weasley strongman beside him, so Luo En also had to learn a hair-dyeing spell and go out with a flaxen-brown hair.

Early Friday morning, Harry found that some Hufflepuff students began to look for trouble everywhere. After asking carefully, he learned that the homework Arnold left for the Badger house was to hug at least ten friends from other houses and roughly describe what their essays were about.

Obviously, the reason why they had no movement in the past few days was that they estimated that other people's essays had not been finished yet. By Friday, some students in the Badger house who advocated the early bird catches the worm started to act. If there were no accidents, they would go out in full force on Saturday and Sunday.

The disguised Harry and Luo En sat quietly at the corner of the Gryffindor table eating, and from time to time emphasized to the Badger house students who came up: "We haven't seen Harry Potter, we are also looking for him."

They maintained their disguise, finished the day's classes steadily, and then, as agreed, prepared to participate in the Quidditch tryouts. Before heading to the stadium, Harry and Luo En found a quiet and deserted place and changed back to their original appearance.

"Oh, both of you." Angelina met them at the stadium entrance. "I don't know how to say it, but anyway, Luo En, you are exempt from the test."

"What do you mean?" Luo En asked in surprise. "After people heard that you intended to run for Keeper, everyone else gave up the election, I don't know how to describe it." Angelina scratched her head. "It sounds like there will be a feeling of being set in stone, and when I tell them, some people are unhappy again."

Angelina spoke incoherently, but Harry understood a little bit. He suspected that this was related to his increasingly inflated reputation.

This is very difficult to handle. If you insist on a fair competition to show that Luo En did not enjoy privileges, unless Luo En fails the election, people will still have resentment, and even feel that they are hypocritical and disgusting; and if you ask Luo En to give up the sweat and expectations he has paid for in order to show fairness, Harry thinks it is also very inappropriate.

Now, perhaps we can only let things slide, let Luo En join the team directly, and then try our best to help him achieve good results.

Harry didn't tell Luo En his plan, he felt that Luo En's pressure was already great enough.

"Anyway, come with us to change clothes." Angelina said. "We changed the tryouts directly into formal training."

When walking into the locker room, George winked at him: "How about it, ready to show us a hand?"

"I'll try my best." Luo En said vaguely, his face was red, and he was picking up Wood's team uniform to put on.

"We are ready to start, Alicia and Fred, you come to help move the boxes out." Angelina said. "Oh... there might be a few people outside, well, more than a few."

Harry had already guessed some. Sure enough, when they left the locker room and came to the stadium, they suddenly heard a scream and cheers. Some Hufflepuff students were holding huge banners, which read "Welcome Harry Potter back to his loyal Quidditch stadium". Originally, these things should be done by students from Gryffindor house, but they were all holding pens, looking forward to recording something from Harry's Quidditch performance that could be written into the essay.

Harry followed behind Luo En, and he noticed that Luo En's ears were also red.

"Now, let's pass a few balls first." Angelina said. "Don't be nervous, Luo En, Fred said you performed very well at home."

Harry mounted his broom and left the ground, then according to Angelina's instructions, came to the other end of the stadium. They started passing the ball to each other. Luo En looked very nervous, but he still caught the ball thrown by others very easily and accurately.

But when Luo En was about to pass the ball to Katie, he didn't know if he was too nervous, the force of the throw was a bit too much, Katie couldn't catch it, and the Quaffle hit her face heavily.

"Sorry." Luo En panicked all of a sudden and flew over to check Katie's injury.

"Great, this is what a Keeper should do." Angelina said loudly. "But when you launch the ball with force, it's best to pay attention to whether the target is your own person."

George and Fred leaned toward Katie and handed her a small purple thing. After Katie ate it, the bleeding stopped quickly.

"Okay, come on, we are ready to start." Angelina said. "Harry, you can prepare to release the Snitch."

When they returned to the air, Angelina blew the whistle, and then the whole team entered the normal training mode. After Harry released the Snitch, he first watched the movements of others for a while, for example, Fred and George were chasing and hitting that Bludger; Angelina, Alicia, and Katie were passing the Quaffle to each other, waiting for an opportunity to attack Luo En's goal.

In fact, Luo En performed not bad. His hand-eye coordination was very well cultivated in sword training, and his physical fitness and reaction ability were also far beyond his peers. More importantly, sword fighting and fighting also cultivated some of his rough combat intuition. Luo En predicted the goal they were aiming at several times and intercepted the Quaffle in advance.

Moreover, Luo En's serve could always reach a very high speed, like a cannonball. Harry thought this far exceeded the ability that the human body should have, and could only be explained as "magic power closely combined with muscles" according to Donald's theory.

When Angelina tried to catch Luo En's pass and almost flipped a somersault, although she looked a bit embarrassed, her face showed unhideable joy. Harry knew why this was. Although Wood was a tactical master, he could only be said to be mediocre in keeping. And Luo En's highly offensive serving ability would be a very big supplement and improvement to Gryffindor's team ability.

After being distracted for a while, Harry started looking for and chasing that tiny Golden Snitch. Having not officially competed for a long time, Harry realized that his speed and skills had regressed. However, under the blowing of the warm autumn wind, there was some noisy commotion from the stands in the distance, and Harry felt that the feeling was back. He shuttled flexibly between the Chasers, his speed gradually increased, and he gradually recalled this and that flying technique. At this time, he was no longer obsessed with the position of the Snitch, but was flying freely in the sky.

When Harry came back to his senses from the air, Angelina thought it was about time to end the training.

"Luo En has gradually learned to control his strength, which is a very surprising progress." She commented. "But the serve was a complete surprise. What really makes me happy is that he has very solid basic skills and has learned some techniques without a teacher."

Luo En scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I believe Luo En will become a better Keeper than Wood." Angelina said and sighed again. "But I may not be able to become a better captain than Wood."

"It doesn't matter." Harry said. "For the current team, perhaps everyone can play very well just by personal ability."

Angelina showed a slightly reluctant smile. Harry suddenly remembered that according to his consistent performance, he should catch the Snitch three or four times in a training session. But in fact, he was distracted to look at Luo En from time to time, and tried flying techniques selflessly from time to time, and only caught the Snitch once from beginning to end.

Returning to the dormitory, Luo En's expression couldn't be said to be bad, but it wasn't very high-spirited either. They sat down in the dormitory and after removing the disguise, Luo En said quietly: "I didn't mess it up, did I?"

"Of course not, I think you performed great." Harry said.

"Eh, hope so." Luo En sighed and started looking for his homework. "Just don't let them feel that I lost your face."

"Why would you think so?" Harry blinked.

"You know, people occasionally brag about the Savior's subordinates." Luo En shrugged. "I know I'm not very smart, that's fine, but at least I can't make mistakes in force, how to say, everyone knows me like this, so, you understand, right?"

"Yes, this is called a persona." Harry said. "The good news is, your persona is established, remember the Mirror of Erised? You will become a great Keeper."

"But that only depicts the desire in my heart." Luo En leaned back on the chair and said with a complex expression. "I didn't become a prefect, did I?"

"I didn't expect you to care about this, Luo En." Harry said seriously. "In fact, I think you are fully worthy of a prefect seat, it's just that you were implicated by me, so Snape didn't intend to give the prefect to you."

"I can feel that the Ministry of Magic is laying out something, although it may not be aimed at me, but we are more or less affected." Harry turned around and sat facing Luo En. "It is not a good thing for us to receive too much praise that does not match our ability at this age. Snape should have seen this point, so he arranged for Neville to be a prefect."

"I think the current situation is not bad, although you lost your prefect position because of me, you gained the position of school team Keeper because of this. And I think the latter is something that can better reflect your ability." Harry said at the end, nodded slightly, and then looked at Luo En sincerely.

"You are very amazing, Harry." Luo En sniffed, nodded with a smile, and then picked up the quill again. "... The young and famous genius wizard never got carried away by the praise and compliments from the outside world. On the contrary, Harry Potter cultivated extraordinary observation, affinity, and leadership ability in this environment..."

"Fine, I really have nothing to say." Harry turned his back immediately. "Don't expect to copy the Giant Wars essay."
