The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Miss Vettore, we only need you to play during the match against Slytherin." On the way back to the castle, Captain Randolph Soames said earnestly to Veneto, lowering his head.

After seeing how Veneto could make the Bludger hit every point she wanted, and how that Bludger, after being hit by her, flew over 15 meters and then broke a tree branch as thick as an arm, Soames immediately agreed with Roger's idea.

After all, Ravenclaw isn't Slytherin, so they couldn't accept the Slytherin students' unscrupulous methods of winning various matches.

Therefore, in their eyes, Veneto, who could easily injure others in the chaos of the match, naturally became a secret weapon specifically targeting those who didn't play by the rules.

"Of course! You only need to train with us for half an hour each week, you don't have to come the rest of the time." Randolph said, shaking his head with some regret.

From the tryouts just now, he could see that Veneto's flying and hitting skills were excellent, but unfortunately, her strength was too great. If she couldn't control her strength in the match, it could easily cause serious harm to other people on the field, especially the opponents.

Although Veneto's level of controlling her strength was very good in the experiment just now, after Randolph saw Veneto pick up a wooden stick as thick as her forearm in the final performance of the tryout and easily rub it into crumbs with both hands, he decisively kicked Veneto out of Ravenclaw's regular lineup.

In his eyes, Veneto was just a second-year student, a child. So even though she had just demonstrated her amazing level of strength control in the demonstration, Captain Randolph was still worried that Veneto would lose control of her strength in that kind of match.

Although wizards are much more resistant to blows than ordinary people, and it's easy to treat those external injuries, if a match creates a group of injured people like that, the team's reputation will quickly stink, and Randolph naturally doesn't want Ravenclaw's reputation to become as bad as Slytherin's.

Back at the castle, after a simple cleanup, Hugo, Hermione, and Veneto went to the Great Hall to prepare for lunch. As a result, they ran into Harry and Ron on the way, who looked dejected.

"You guys look a little pale, did Professor McGonagall give you a heavy punishment?"

"Very—very heavy." After seeing Hugo standing in front of him, Ron spread his hands and said, "Five points are deducted for each person involved in the fight, and ten points are deducted for using magic before being detected by the Flashback Charm. In addition, those who used magic before will also have to do an extra half month of detention."

"But there is one thing to be very happy about." After talking about the punishment Professor McGonagall gave to everyone, Harry, who had looked dejected just now, suddenly perked up.

"As the chief culprit of this attack, Slytherin's Marcus was not only deducted 20 points, but was also ordered to work for Filch in all after-school time for the next month."

"That does sound like good news." As the Quidditch captain of Slytherin, Marcus is a symbolic figure who fully embodies the bad side of Slytherin.

At least Hugo knew that he liked to bully those non-pure-blood first-year students from other houses, especially those Muggle-born wizards. So after hearing about his bad luck, both Hugo and Hermione showed a satisfied smile.

"By the way, who were you two assigned to work with?" As soon as Hugo finished speaking, Hermione asked with some curiosity.

"Ron was assigned to the trophy room to wipe those silverware—all by hand, no magic allowed." Hearing Hermione ask this, Harry's face suddenly fell. "And I was called over by Professor Lockhart to reply to his admirers for him."

"Sounds like—they're both a bit bad." Veneto had a sympathetic expression on her face, and hearing her say this, Harry naturally nodded desperately in agreement.

"Seriously, I sincerely hope to switch with Ron. Although wiping those silverware by hand may be more tiring, I have completely mastered those wiping and washing skills before. Compared with this kind of work, helping Lockhart reply to his admirers is definitely a nightmare."

"That's what I think too." Ron added at this time, "I have never cleaned anything purely with my hands at home, and there are at least 100 trophies in the trophy room. I think my hands might be useless after finishing those jobs."

"Ah, by the way, we plan to visit Hagrid this afternoon. By the way, tell him about the sales of his new book during the entire vacation. Don't you want to go over and relax together?" After walking into the door of the Great Hall, Hermione suddenly thought of something and asked Harry and Ron.

"We were actually planning to visit Hagrid today too. If we hadn't been called over by Professor McGonagall just now to be criticized, I actually should have gone over before lunch."

After hearing Hermione say this, Harry immediately said. "But that's good too, after we finish eating, we can go over there together."

After everyone finished their lunch, Hugo and his group of five left the Great Hall and walked towards Hagrid's hut. When they arrived at the door of the hut, they happened to see Hagrid using his pink umbrella to tap the pumpkins planted in the ground one by one with the tip of the umbrella.

"Been wondering when you'd come to see me—hurry up and come in for a bit—" Seeing Hugo and the others walking over, Hagrid subconsciously hid the pink umbrella behind his back, and then beckoned Hugo and the others to come inside.

Walking into the hut, Hugo saw an extra-large bed placed in the corner, and on the other side was a large fireplace burning crackling.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down wherever you like." After everyone walked into the room, Hagrid walked to the side of the fireplace and busied himself brewing some herbal tea with honey for them, while enthusiastically saying.

"I was wondering when you guys would come to see me, but I didn't expect you to come together."

"We ran into each other unexpectedly at noon, and then found out that everyone had the same plan for the afternoon, so we naturally came together." Hugo said with a smile.

"By the way, we came here to tell you some good news. That is, your book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has sold a total of 100 copies during the summer vacation and the beginning of school."

"Oh, that does sound like good news." Hagrid suddenly twitched his nose, looking very excited. "I really didn't expect that so many people would be willing to read my book."

As he spoke, the big guy even started crying directly. So much so that Hugo and the others present had to step forward to comfort Hagrid.

"Of course, I won't forget your help." After his emotions calmed down a bit, Hagrid looked at Hugo and the others with teary eyes.

"I know my writing skills aren't very good, and the stories are also told very chaotically. If you hadn't helped me correct those problems, I don't think anyone would be willing to read my book."
