Chapter 316 Digory, You Have to Think!
"The weather is terrible, isn't it?" Hufflepuff, like most ordinary British people, started a conversation by complaining about the weather.
"Yeah." Although Cedric didn't understand what Professor White was up to, he still stopped to chat with her.
"How is it, are you confident? Can you win?" Hufflepuff looked at Cedric, the young man she had noticed, with expectant eyes.
This guy is handsome, smart, studious, and full of personality charm. He is so excellent that he doesn't look like a Hufflepuff.
Cedric wanted to say that there was no problem at all, and said confidently, "We can win!", but after seeing Professor White's gaze, the words on his lips turned into "It's hard to say".
To be honest, with the configuration of the Hufflepuff team, it is really a bit difficult to defeat the Gryffindor team.
If it weren't for this storm, the possibility of Hufflepuff's victory would be almost zero. The wind and rain narrowed the gap between the two teams, giving the Hufflepuff team a chance to win, but it only turned the 9:1 odds into 7:3.
Helga nodded and said "hmm".
"Indeed, it's really hard for you to beat them."
Cedric: ...
Are you here to sabotage me? Please, I finally mustered up some courage!
Professor White's overly straightforward words made Cedric not know how to respond for a moment, and he could only try to bypass Professor White and go to the auditorium for breakfast.
"Wait, don't go!" Helga hurriedly stopped him: "It is precisely because of the difficulty that you have to make more efforts, and the efforts are not only physical, but also mental - Diggory, you have to think."
"Think?" Cedric frowned.
"Yes, think. Think carefully about how to deal with this storm. Maybe the chance of winning is hidden in the wind and rain?" Hufflepuff didn't say anything more and walked into the auditorium on his own.
She had many plans and knew many spells. She could make the storm stop, and even literally make the rain fall only on the Gryffindor team members, but she planned to leave the problem to the children to solve by themselves. She only planned to guide them.
This is what a teacher should do.
Looking at Professor White's receding back, Cedric fell into deep thought: How to deal with the storm? It would be great if the rain only fell on Gryffindor, wait--!
Cedric suddenly found a very useful spell and a potion that was allowed to be drunk within the rules from the corner of his memory, and he hurried to the infirmary on the second floor.
A quarter of an hour before the team set off, Cedric finally rushed to the hall-at this time, Wood had completed the mobilization and led the players straight to the stadium.
Cedric's appearance made the Hufflepuff team members relieved: they just thought that Diggory had changed his mind and didn't want to play today.
"Take these with you and drink them during the game." Cedric stuffed the small bottles into the players' arms.
"It is forbidden to drink functional potions during the competition..." a team member said with concern, "This is against the rules."
"This is not a functional potion, it is Madam Pomfrey's cold potion. After drinking it, two streams of steam will come out of your ears. After the moisture is discharged, your body will feel much more comfortable." Cedric explained seriously.
This potion cannot make everyone more powerful, but it can make the team members in the wind and rain feel comfortable, and in this kind of weather, "comfort" itself is combat power.
After distributing the potion, Cedric motioned his teammates to gather around him, and then he took out his wand-
"Waterproof and moisture-proof!"
He cast a waterproof spell on his teammates' robes, and these wizard robes with spells became similar to raincoats, which could keep the team members' bodies as dry as possible in the rain.
"Let's go!" After making the most adequate preparations, Cedric and his team members set off together.
The moment he stepped out of the castle, Cedric suddenly felt that his preparations were not so sufficient. The strong wind blew them all over the place, and the thunder, rain and wind made them almost deaf. What's worse is that although the robes are waterproof, the wind will hit their faces with cold rain, blocking their vision and taking away their heat.
"Don't panic, Gryffindor is in a worse situation than us!" After Cedric said this, he immediately closed his mouth tightly to avoid taking in too much cold wind and rain.
Students are also entering the stadium one after another, and even the storm can't discourage their determination to watch the Quidditch game.
Rice looked at the students who were struggling to march towards the stadium in the heavy rain, and felt speechless: Do these little guys have too few entertainment activities in their daily lives?
But he didn't complain about these children, because he was also one of them...
Of course, Rice, who has a domain, will definitely not be affected by a mere storm. When the rain flies in front of him, it will be bounced off by an invisible wall. He used magic to build a space of several cubic meters around him to ensure that it would not be eroded by rain and cold wind.
Knowing that Les had this ability, Daphne shrank behind Les and watched other students get soaked like drowned rats.
"This is the secret of magic!" She had a smug look on her face: "Those guys are just like Muggles."
Les glanced at her and said softly, "Daphne, it's not difficult to use magic to open such a space. What really reflects your level is to make such a space just include your body surface - do you want to see it?"
"No, no, no!" Daphne shook her head like a rattle: "My shoes can't get wet today!"
Les was just teasing her and didn't really shrink the magic space back. He noticed that Astoria's figure also appeared at the door of the castle. The little girl obviously didn't want her clothes to be wet by the rain, and then she thought of a more magical way -
She first cast a waterproof spell on her clothes, turning her robe into a "raincoat", then curled up and shrunk herself into the robe, and then put on the hood, and the whole person was wrapped in the robe. Then, she used flying magic and rushed towards the direction of the court quickly along the ground.
Les was stunned by Astoria's operation - she knew how to use magic flexibly.
When the little girl rushed to Les, he intercepted her with quick eyes and hands and dragged her into the magic space.
Looking at Astoria's hooded face, Les couldn't help but be a little curious: "Can you see the road ahead clearly by doing this?"
"Not very clearly, I'm flying by feeling." Astoria answered honestly.
Les:...
"You did a good job, don't do it next time. I'll go back and teach you how to use magic to block the wind and rain."
