Chapter 145: The Fishing Time Is Over
Mike looked at Hermione walking away alone, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful for her, and wondered if he should comfort her. He seemed to have seen Hermione crying just now.
But a slight pain interrupted his thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?"
Penello asked softly in Mike's ear, while one hand was twisting the soft flesh around Mike's waist.
Although he didn't feel much pain, Mike still pretended to be in unbearable pain, gritted his teeth and begged for mercy: "Ah? No, I was just thinking that it's already very late, why don't we go back to the dormitory quickly?
have a rest?"
Penello rolled her eyes at Mike, but said nothing more. She took Mike's arm and walked to the exit of the venue, leaving Franklin, a single dog, eating dog food silently.
On the way back, Mike looked at the beauty beside him and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Penello's emotional intelligence is really high.
Just now, I saw myself staring at Hermione and I was obviously very angry, but I didn't really try hard to squeeze her. I expressed my dissatisfaction to myself, but I didn't express it too much.
"I just like this kind of reasonable girl." Mike thought to himself.
Seemingly noticing Mike's eyes, Penello coyly let go of her hand holding Mike's arm, seemingly a little embarrassed.
How could Mike let her succeed? He quickly held Penello's little hand again.
Just as the two were flirting all the way to Ravenclaw Tower, they met two acquaintances at a secret corner on the road.
Cedric and Qiu Zhang were holding hands and whispering in a shadow. Everyone was going to watch the duel competition at this time, so they were very bold. Seeing the two getting closer, they seemed to be about to kiss.
.
Suddenly, Qiu Zhang seemed to spot Penello and Mike out of the corner of his eye, and then his face changed drastically. He blushed and hid behind Cedric.
Cedric was a little confused by her sudden action, and he didn't understand the reason until he saw Mike and Penello coming towards him.
"Looks like we ruined your good deeds." Mike teased with a weird smile.
"It's good that you know." Cedric shrugged and shook hands with Mike, "Long time no see. You just came back from watching the game?"
"Yeah, didn't you go to see Qiu Zhang's game?"
"Her first match is scheduled for tomorrow." Cedric said with some helplessness, "The schedule of this duel competition is simply a piece of shit. I bet the person who customized this rule must be illiterate!"
"Huh? How do you say it?"
Mike felt a little confused when he heard this. He had been spending all his time in the Room of Requirement these past few days and didn't know the schedule of the Duel Competition.
When Cedric saw this, he didn't ask Mike why he didn't even know this, and started to explain directly.
It turns out that there were too many participants in this duel competition, and two months were left for students to prepare for the exam, so the competition team directly stipulated that the first round of the competition lasted for one month. During this month, there will be a competition every night.
A knockout competition was held at the competition venue, and 8 contestants were selected.
Then these 8 players will duel through random drawing, and the winner will be selected to form the real top 8 with the seeded players from each college.
Finally there are the semi-finals and finals.
This directly caused the intensity of the first round to skyrocket.
Mike also smacked his lips when he heard this. The first round of this duel competition was indeed very unfriendly to those contestants who auditioned. Those contestants who were eliminated in the first game were okay. Those contestants who won consecutively had to wait for a short period of time.
After fighting continuously in just one month, many people suffered injuries from the previous game before they were healed in the next game, and had to fight with injuries.
And Mike estimates that by the time the first round reaches the later stage, everyone who plays will be more or less injured.
Because the Hogwarts infirmary is not large in scale, it usually treats minor illnesses such as headaches, fever, and injuries caused by mischievous children. Once the number of injured people increases, it will definitely be overwhelmed. This is why Lockhart also organizes
Some senior students formed a temporary treatment team.
Judging from Ron's front teeth that have not fully recovered, the level of this temporary medical team is really worrying.
But these actually have nothing to do with Mike and Cedric. Both of them are seed players in their respective colleges. They don't need to participate in such a high-intensity competition and can directly advance to the semi-finals.
The reason why Cedric felt that the schedule was terrible was because he felt sorry for Qiu Zhang.
Thinking of this, Mike joked: "I didn't expect you to actually take away our Ravenclaw's pearl. How about you tell me how far you have developed?"
Cedric showed a proud smile on his face, as if he had thought of something. He turned around and glanced behind him, and saw that Qiu Zhang had been pulled not far away by Penello at some point. At this moment, the two girls were whispering, and from time to time
He secretly glanced at Mike and Cedric, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have already said that based on my conditions, Qiu Zhang will definitely choose me." Cedric whispered, "Compared to me, Roger Davis is as good as heaven and earth. I made a little plan.
Let Qiu Zhang leave him."
Cedric became more and more enthusiastic as he talked. He put his arm around Mike's shoulders and wanted to tell him about the so-called little plan he had deployed.
"Mike, Roger asked me to tell you that you should participate in the next Quidditch training." Qiu Zhang came to the side of the two of them at some point, "You have missed training for several months.
The Quidditch final will be soon, and we need you."
Suddenly hearing his girlfriend's voice, Cedric was frightened and trembled.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Zhang couldn't help but ask when he saw that his boyfriend was acting strangely.
"It's nothing, Mike and I were just..." Cedric reacted quickly, "were scolding the guy who made the schedule for the duel competition."
The confused expression on Qiu Zhang's face slowly faded after hearing this, and she stared at Mike again, waiting for Mike's answer. This time, her Quidditch captain Roger Davis gave her a death order, and Mike must go back to training.
Roger himself had come to see Mike several times before, but Mike had ignored him all the time.
After a few times, Roger believed that Mike rejected him because he was not charming enough, so he sent Qiu Chang, who had the highest charm attribute in their team, hoping to use a honey trap to get Mike to go back to training.
"Mike, you'd better go to training." Penello gently shook Mike's arm to persuade him.
Seeing this, Cedric also reacted and advised: "Yes, I heard that you are good at Quidditch. I really hope to meet you on the field."
Mike was extremely confused.
After obtaining the Transfiguration Notebook and the "Fire Master's Guide", Mike needed to spend a lot of time practicing spells and really had no time to participate in Quidditch training.
But looking at the expectant looks in the three people's eyes, Mike couldn't refuse.
Finally, Mike gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Remember to notify me next time you train!"
Hearing this, Qiu Zhang and Penello both cheered, while Mike's heart was bleeding.
