Mysterious Journey

Chapter 813 Quidditch and Multiple Choice Questions

What is... Ravenclaw?

Aileen glanced at Meryl Streep with interest.

"Not bad with that look. I'm looking forward to it—"

Admittedly, compared to those other Ravenclaw girls who were either muddle-headed or only dared to gather together and curse her in low voices with venomous eyes, Miss "Peach," as the new female student president, was about the only one in the Ravenclaw upperclassmen with some self-awareness.

Of course, she was only relatively smart.

At least in Aileen's eyes, this Miss Peach was still adorably stupid. How could a slightly clever girl accidentally get herself completely caught up in the overwhelmingly advantageous "slave contract"?

George Weasley's successful underdog story has now become a top-notch dating guide at Gryffindor.

"Then try your best. I hope you can give me some surprises."

Aileen said, glancing contemptuously at the whispering girls at the table, her voice turning cold.

"Just a reminder, if you plan to do anything sneaky or disgusting behind my back, I'll let you know what a real demon is. Even Professor Dumbledore won't be able to save you then, I promise!"

This world is never short of fools, and Aileen never underestimated human stupidity and malice.

Fortunately, as Hogwarts' head chef, she was never alone.

Aileen's Head Girl position isn't just a symbolic title. If necessary, Aileen can directly use the Head Girl privileges three times. This isn't just a verbal borrowing, but a rechargeable privilege with magical effect.

As for the cornerstone of the magic contract, it's naturally the three Command Spells branded on the back of Aileen's hand.

Thousands of house-elves, dozens of ghosts, ubiquitous portraits, animated magical statues...

If Aileen wanted, she could mobilize all of this in an instant.

Whether it's the security pressure caused by the Philosopher's Stone, the new Hogwarts teaching system, the teaching staff that has been expanded several times, or the uncertain course arrangements... Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has too many things to balance this year. No one knows which part will have problems. As the planner, it's her responsibility and her right to solve emergencies.

"You can't scare us. If you dare to do anything out of line, you'll be expelled from school!"

Marietta Edgecombe swallowed hard, trying to calm herself.

"Maybe? There are indeed many precedents for expulsion at Hogwarts. For example, being seriously injured or killed because of high-risk magical creatures, dangerous Dark Arts, etc.—I'm certainly aware of these rules."

Aileen said in a low voice, her bright smile looking like a devilish grin in Marietta's eyes.

"Therefore, if I'm expelled from Hogwarts, what will be the price... Miss Marietta Edgecombe, I think a smart little witch like you would want me to stay safely at Hogwarts, right? You were very smart and very strong in last year's Quidditch match. I've always thought we had a chance to be friends."

"Are you being sarcastic? Yes, you won! But—" Cho Chang's face was ashen.

"No, I just—forget it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't look possible now anyway."

Aileen raised her eyebrows and shook her head helplessly.

The first-year representative team only played one game against the Ravenclaw team. After that game, Ravenclaw collectively withdrew.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is an extremely humiliating black history. The Quidditch teams of the other three houses also occasionally use this as a capital for ridicule and boasting, but Aileen doesn't think so.

When facing a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated no matter what, whether it was Roger Davies, Marietta Edgecombe, or Cho Chang, none of the female players chose to run away from the field.

In the teams that faced the first-year representative team head-on, Ravenclaw was the only team that failed because everyone was knocked down.

As for the subsequent decision to withdraw from the competition, this was a wise choice—as the strength of the first-year representative team increased, the subsequent competition was more like a brutal and suspense-free battle royale.

"—The Ravenclaw Quidditch team will not be disbanded."

Ignoring Aileen's explanation, Cho Chang stood up suddenly and said bitterly.

"Maybe, maybe you can defeat us countless times, but I want to tell you, not everyone is afraid of your Bludger—watch out, don't think you've won, Ravenclaw is more resilient than you think!"

The Asian-skinned Ravenclaw girl said quickly in a theatrical, undulating voice.

"That's right, isn't it? Davies!"

Cho Chang said this while looking at her companion beside her with an expectant look, seeking support, but reality was obviously crueler than she imagined. Not everyone is qualified to be the protagonist.

"But, Cho... our team now..."

Roger Davies looked away slightly, stammering, "You know, I plan to focus on studying and exams this year, so... I mean, you see, so many more courses have been added this year..."

Ever since he learned that Aileen would represent Gryffindor, Roger had completely given up on Quidditch.

It wasn't that he lacked courage, but mainly because he didn't think there was any point in participating.

Gryffindor was already a strong team. Whether it was Oliver Wood as the Keeper or the Weasley twins as Beaters, they were all recognized as good fliers throughout Hogwarts.

With the addition of Aileen, the last weakness of this lion was perfectly filled.

Undoubtedly, this was a more desperate lineup than last year.

Oliver Wood couldn't wait to let everyone know how strong this year's "Gryffindor Galaxy Battleship" was. What was most irritating was that even though the chances of winning were 100%, this guy still had to pretend to be modest and say 98%.

"How can you be like this! Then Marietta, what do you think... Okay, I understand—"

Cho Chang's gaze slid over her best friend's face, and she sighed softly with some disappointment. The little bit of courage that had been rekindled was rapidly dissipating, her expression gradually becoming dim and falling into silence.

After last year's Quidditch match, which could be described as a massacre, she really had no position to ask her friends to continue flying.

"If you don't mind, I can give you a little advice—"

Aileen carefully examined Cho Chang's expression, raised her finger, and said with a smile.

"The Hogwarts Moonlight Team should start recruiting people this weekend. I heard that Ilina from Slytherin is looking for players. With your flying skills and ball skills, I think you can try it out..."

"Don't joke around! Join that first-year representative team and listen to the commands of a Slytherin first-year?"

Marietta Edgecombe exclaimed sharply, waving her arms at Aileen with a stern look.

"Aileen, do you find it very interesting to humiliate us? And it was a team that you defeated on the field last semester. Even if Ravenclaw doesn't have a Quidditch team this year, Cho Chang would never go to such a ridiculous and comical wild chicken team. Do you want to humiliate her a second time on the Quidditch field—"

"Langlock! I've been putting up with you for a long time since just now."

Aileen snapped her fingers casually, directly sealing the mouth of the noisy guy next to her. She finally understood why so many people liked this spell. The silencing ability was indeed a very pleasant skill.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Cho Chang, who had been silent.

"Luna will also participate. I don't have a sure chance of winning. Think about it carefully..."
