Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Thea had barely made up her mind to participate in Quidditch when the Slytherin Quidditch selection tournament began.

Draco has been a little uneasy ever since he learned that Thea also wanted to participate in Quidditch.

If anyone else wanted to compete with Malfoy for the Seeker position, there would definitely be a lot of people jumping out and chattering, but if it were Thea, then it would be hard to say what would happen.

Thea had a rare mischievous thought and planned to see Draco get anxious, but she didn't expect Draco to be so composed, as if he had no interest in Quidditch.

Every time Thea tried to tease him with this, he would always act indifferent, which made Thea very discouraged.

"I don't know who corrupted that young master. He's not as fun as he used to be," Thea thought indignantly.

On the day of player selection, Quidditch captain Marcus led the players and the young wizards who had registered to the Quidditch pitch very early.

With vacancies in the Chaser, Batter, and Seeker positions this year, the captain is under a lot of pressure.

Adding to the pressure, the rumors circulating in the academy these past few days about Miss Black and Young Master Malfoy vying for the Seeker position have put Marcus under immense pressure.

During breakfast, Thea watched as Draco, though his expression remained relatively calm, only ate one piece of bread.

In the end, he couldn't bear it and told the other party in advance that he intended to compete for the position of chaser.

Draco was immediately dumbfounded. He looked incredulously at the group of people beside him who were trying not to laugh: "You all knew all along?"

“Yes, almost everyone knows that Thea is going to play as a Chaser, except for you,” Daphne added with a smile.

"Humph!"

Draco turned around angrily. Thea thought she had gone too far, but when she saw Draco eat a few more eggs and drink a glass of milk, she was relieved and continued to chat and laugh with Daphne.

The group arrived at the Quidditch pitch together.

Marcus didn't waste any time and immediately began the formal selection process.

First, each young wizard stepped forward to draw a number and went up to the sky to prepare for the test according to the number.

The first step was to select the Chaser positions. The first round of selection was to get the Quaffle through the rings from different positions on the court within ten minutes.

There's no doubt that Thea did it, getting five Quaffles through the rings in three different locations within five minutes, making her the best scorer of the round.

The second round requires players to hit the Quaffle into the ring three times in a row within five minutes.

This rule immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd.

"Flint has really gone all out this time, he's even disregarding Miss Black..."

"Shh! Don't talk! Of course the captain is angry about losing to Gryffindor last year. Black just happened to be there..."

“Thea…” Daphne looked at Thea with some concern.

"It's okay, I can get through!" Thea drank the last sip of water from the bottle and smiled confidently at Daphne.

Next, Thea demonstrated to everyone with concrete actions that she had the ability to fulfill all the promises she had made!

She did it! Thea has secured the position of Slytherin suitor.

Even though she appeared somewhat small among the tall and strong team members, no one doubted her abilities.

Next comes the selection of the Seekers.

Flint took an extremely serious approach, taking all the Quidditch players and candidates directly into the air.

There aren't many tricks to selecting the Seeker. As long as you catch the Golden Snitch first among all the candidates, you'll be the Seeker!

This rule is very simple and straightforward, but it is very useful.

As everyone expected, Draco, with his familiarity with the broom and his talent, caught the Golden Snitch before all the other candidates and successfully won the Seeker position.

Thus, Slytherin's Quidditch lineup is as follows:

Marcus Flint – serves as Slytherin Quidditch Chaser and Captain.

Dorothea Black – serves as the Slytherin Quidditch Chaser.

Derian Pussé – played the Chaser for the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Miles Blatch – served as the goalkeeper for the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Draco Malfoy – serves as the Seeker in Slytherin Quidditch.

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Gore – served as Slytherin batters.

With the team lineup finalized, Captain Flint looked at Draco and Thea with increasing satisfaction, wishing he could rush onto the field right now and have a final showdown with Gryffindor.

Thea smiled and stopped the unusually excited captain, requesting that they play a practice match first today.

Unsurprisingly, the captain agreed.

"Blake! Pass the ball to me!"

"Blake! Watch our positioning! Don't get into our own people!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Blake! Just like you did! Put that ball into that ring!"

"Thea! Catch!"

"Draco! Just keep an eye on the Snitch! Stop looking at Thea! The Snitch isn't above her!"

"Draco! What are you doing! Watch the game! Don't look at Thea!"

"Draco! Don't get distracted!"

"Thea!..."

"Draco!..."

After a practice match, Flint's voice was completely hoarse, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Even the way they addressed Thea changed from the awkward "Blake" to the more familiar "Thea".

"Good! Thea! As long as you can maintain today's throwing accuracy, the Quidditch championship belongs to Slytherin!"

Thea had just taken a sip of water when an excited Flint slapped her on the shoulder.

Thea held back, managing not to spit out the water in her throat.

The other team members were facing Thea and naturally saw her actions. They all burst into laughter, leaving Flint completely bewildered, wondering what they were laughing about.

"Alright, stop! After the practice match just now, I found that Thea and Draco are still very good. With their strength, they are more than capable of playing the Chaser and Seeker positions!"

Also, Gore and Crabbe, you two need to improve. The batter's main task is to protect the chasers and help them get the ball through the opponent's circle!

Therefore, we need to adjust our tactics. Our next training goal is to integrate the playing styles of the four new members who joined today with the veteran players!

"And you two batters, put your weight on Thea! Do everything you can to prevent the drifting ball from interfering with Thea's pitching! Got it?"

"Got it!" x2.

"Alright! Then wish us good luck in advance on winning the championship!"

"Keep it up!" x7.
