..
Professor Snape, we had reserved the entire Quidditch pitch well in advance, and it was also because Malfoy insulted Hermione by calling her a Mudblood that Ron attacked Malfoy!
Facing the terrifying Snape, even Wood and others were angry but did not dare to refute, but Harry was unwilling to let things go like that.
Upon hearing this, Snape's gaze grew even stricter:
"How dare you lie?"
"Malfoy, did you just call Hermione a mudblood?"
At this moment, George suddenly spoke, addressing Malfoy first.
Malfoy felt that with Snape present, Wood and the others were too afraid to act imprudently, and he raised his head arrogantly:
"She is nothing but a mudblood, and Hogwarts should not admit a mudblood as a student."
"Hogwarts decides who its students are, not you!"
Upon hearing Malfoy's words, Snape immediately turned and sternly reprimanded him.
To know that the witch he loved most, Harry's mother, Lily Evans, was also a child born in a Muggle family.
George, seeing his goal achieved, retreated without drawing attention.
And Malfoy was obviously frightened by the Snape, who has always been more tolerant of him, and quickly shut up.
Snape looked at Harry again:
"Cancel the demerit you received just now, but Potter, because you disrespect the teacher, Gryffindor will be deducted five points for this."
Harry wanted to refute, but was held by Hermione's arm.
It was originally twenty points, but now it's only five—already much better.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, Ron opened his mouth, and a bunch of slugs were spat out again from his mouth.
"Expelliarmus!"
George approached and waved his wand, and a blue magical beam hit Ron. The slugs in Ron's mouth disappeared immediately.
Just now, Snape said during the review that if they encounter a counter-curse of black magic that they don't know, they can try the universal decryption spell first. Now I tried it, and to my surprise, it really works.
"Thank you, George."
The Ron who was back to normal immediately thanked him.
Harry and Hermione also nodded to George. They knew that if it hadn't been for George's sudden comment, which led Malfoy to reveal the truth, Gryffindor would have been deducted an additional fifteen points.
George blinked quietly and then retreated back to Snape's side.
"I want to try the universal decryption spell I just learned."
Upon hearing this, Snape replied calmly:
"George helping classmates to treat, Slytherin will be added five points."
The Gryffindor team's small witches and wizards who had just drooped their heads lifted them up again.
"All right, this matter is settled. Now, the Slytherin team has to train two new players, so you can all leave."
Upon hearing Snape's words to send people away, Wood immediately led everyone away from the Quidditch pitch.
However, after they left the pitch, Harry, Ron and Hermione returned quietly, hiding on the audience stand to secretly watch over here.
They were not there to spy on Slytherin's team intelligence; they simply wanted to know who between George and Malfoy would be the new Seeker.
They already knew about George joining the Slytherin team through Ginny yesterday.
At that time, they thought George must be the Slytherin Seeker, like Harry last year, but they didn't know today that Malfoy had already become the new Seeker because his father bought everyone the latest Light Saber 2001.
So, they were worried that George's integration into the team might not go smoothly.
"George's situation, you should all know. He can use the teaching broomstick to make high-level movements that even international Quidditch team athletes cannot do."
"So I decided to have him take the position of the new Seeker."
After Wood and the others left, Snape began to announce George's position on the team.
Upon hearing this, Malfoy's face immediately changed.
"Dean, you promised my father that I would be the new Seeker!"
"Drian Puce and Terence Higgs are both stepping down from the team to focus on their studies. Malfoy, you will take the position of the new Chaser."
Snape did not hesitate in responding.
This was his arrangement he had thought of last night.
Young Malfoy indeed has a promising talent for flying on broomsticks, and his father's generosity has significantly boosted the strength of the Slytherin team.
Replacing one who is outmatched in strength by Harry, a first-year student, with Young Malfoy is very reasonable and benefits the Slytherin team.
And now, with George's talent in broomstick flying, the most important position of Seeker would naturally go to George.
However, Young Malfoy also brought significant value, so the dispensable Chaser, Drian Puce, was replaced.
"Dean, I disagree. I want to be the Seeker and compete with Potter."
Malfoy immediately shouted.
Now that everyone knows he is to become the Seeker for the Slytherin team, if he were replaced by George, it would be a huge embarrassment for him.
Moreover, he has always wanted to outdo Harry, and only being the Seeker himself has a chance.
"Dean, you know George is friends with Harry and has good relations with the Gryffindors. Let him be the Seeker, and he will definitely let Potter win!"
"Malfoy, do you think our Slytherin wizards can't be friends with more Gryffindors?"
At this moment, George walked in front of Malfoy.
"I think that as long as it's appropriate, it's perfectly fine for us to even marry a witch from Gryffindor in the future."
We are all wizards at Hogwarts, and it's normal to compete with each other. But to say that we can't be friends or fall in love just because we're from different houses doesn't make much sense.
Who says that only one house can be friends and get married?"
The rest of the Slytherin team, hearing George's bold statement, were all shocked. They thought that George would be severely reprimanded by Snape next.
"Dean, don't you see that I'm right? If George becomes the Seeker, he'll definitely hold back Harry. He actually wants to marry that bunch of Mudbloods from Gryffindor!"
"For Slytherin wizards to want to marry Gryffindor witches, this is the biggest joke I've heard today!"
"Shut up, Bat Bogeyman!"
Snape's face turned ugly as he cast a spell to hoist Malfoy upside down.
"Either become the Chaser, or leave the team."
"Ha, come on, let's see who wins."
George smiled slightly at the sight, knowing that he had deliberately said that to provoke Malfoy into saying those words.
Malfoy didn't know, but Snape's biggest pain was that because of his pride in being a Slytherin, he had said some overbearing words in the past, which led to Lily being taken away by Potter.
Malfoy's words were directly slapping Snape in the face.
"Dean, it seems like Malfoy is not convinced. How about this, I'll have a match with Malfoy. Whichever one of us catches the Golden Snitch first will be the Seeker for Slytherin."
He wanted to make Malfoy accept him wholeheartedly, so that he would never challenge him again in the future and establish his position in Slytherin.
"Golden Snitch landed!"
With a wave of his wand, Snape lowered Malfoy down.
Young Malfoy's parents were very close to him. Besides being Death Eaters in the past, they were also classmates, and once he almost became Young Malfoy's godfather.
So, if it weren't for Young Malfoy constantly prickling his heart today, Snape wouldn't have been so severe with him.
"Alright, let's have a match. Whoever wins will be the Seeker, and whoever loses will be the Chaser."
