Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 448 The Formation of the Four Academies Joint Team! A Special Reaction!

Of the four houses, the students of Slytherin are the least able to adapt.

They were somewhat...overwhelmed with gratitude.

Slytherin, a house renowned for its bad-blooded students for many years, has never been as popular as it has been recently.

This is because Slytherin House currently has the fewest members of the four houses, even if you include the few pure-blooded snakes that Dudley forcibly rescued.

Things are rare.

The rules stipulated that each team must have students from all four colleges.

The fact that Slytherin House has the fewest members objectively determines the maximum number of teams Hogwarts can form in a given academic year.

If you don't want to be left behind and assigned a team by the professors, you must make good use of the first month of the semester to actively find compatible teammates and persuade them to agree to form a team.

As a result, for the past two weeks, apart from the first-year students, every little snake has had the magical experience of being chased around asking if they want to team up.

Especially Draco Malfoy.

As a key figure leading Slytherin and guiding the corrupt pure-blood students to take their first step toward good, he was more popular with students from the other three houses than other pure-blood snakes.

Badger cubs, eagle cubs, and even many lion cubs approached Draco, asking if he wanted to team up with them.

Many students even wanted Draco to be their squad leader.

Although Dali never explicitly stated that the four academies' joint team needed to each select a captain.

Despite the numerous offers and generous terms from students of the other three houses, Draco ignored them all and rejected them all.

At the same time, Draco never actively sought out his teammate.

It's as if... I'm waiting for someone special.

The same special situation also occurred with the Gryphon students.

Harry's fame and appeal need no further explanation; the number of students who want to team up with him could circle almost half of the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

In Dudley's class, Ron was the class monitor and Hermione was the head class representative. Their influence had long since spread to the four houses of Hogwarts, so naturally many people came to them to form teams.

As for Neville, the disciplinary committee member, he now possesses the Hogwarts Whip, which is equivalent to the legendary King's Whip. It can be used to punish unruly headmasters and professors, as well as students who commit crimes, and its influence is substantial.

However, this influence has a somewhat unapproachable quality, and not many people actively seek to team up with him. However, some students who are strict with themselves are willing to team up with Neville.

The Gryphon students encountered a similar situation to Draco, but the distress they experienced was quite different.

Harry and the others, especially the three little ones, are caught in a mild case of decision paralysis and a more severe case of separation withdrawal syndrome.

Decision paralysis is easy to understand.

Separation withdrawal syndrome is a bit more subtle.

The three boys have a very close relationship and usually spend most of their time together, eating together, going to class together, and studying in the library together...

Now they're forming a four-house joint team. All three of them are from Gryphon, so it's not that it's impossible for them all to join a team, but it just doesn't feel quite right.

Hermione and Harry were able to fully understand Dudley's intention in forming the four-house joint team: to strengthen communication between the four houses of Hogwarts and to foster unity among the students of each house.

At the same time, we encourage each other, make progress together, and improve the students' combat capabilities.

As Dudley's closest cousins ​​and friends, it would be a shame if they led the way in having students from the same college form teams together.

Therefore, rationally speaking, Harry, Hermione, and Neville would be willing to team up with students from the other three houses on their own.

Ron was quite disappointed. He could understand Dudley's good intentions, but he was afraid that his friends would stop playing with him once they made new friends.

Even if their friendship remains unchanged and withstands the test, the new team members will inevitably take up a lot of the time they spend together.

Ron was very reluctant to face this situation, especially not with Hermione.

Harry and Hermione had similar thoughts.

This is how severe separation withdrawal syndrome develops.

After some consideration, Harry and Hermione made a rational decision to each team up with students from the other three houses.

Seeing this, Ron had no choice but to reluctantly agree to this approach.

But things took a turn for the better after the three boys made their decision and started implementing it.

Lavender Brown, the little witch who is in the same grade and house as the three little ones, actually approached Ron and said that she had already teamed up with students from the other three houses and that Ron could join them directly.

Lavender looked at Ron with obvious affection.

Harry and Hermione were right there.

Seeing this, Harry smiled; he was happy for Ron.

In his opinion, Ron didn't have to bother with team formation himself; he could just join an existing team. Wasn't that a wonderful thing?

Even so, this means that Ron and Lavender's team now has two Gryphon students, which is a little inappropriate.

However, the varying number of students in the four colleges inevitably leads to such situations.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for a team to have two students from the same college.

Harry was about to congratulate Ron in a boisterous manner when he suddenly noticed that Hermione's expression was off.

The situation at that time was as follows:

"Lavender, you want me to join your team?"

Ron spoke casually, and like Harry, he didn't glean any extra information from Lavender's eyes, expression, or behavior.

He was feeling disappointed and distressed because he couldn't form a team with Harry and Hermione, and he had no interest in contacting or connecting with new teammates himself.

Lavender's invitation undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Ron casually agreed: "Sure, I don't have any anyway..."

No, you do!

Ron had only half-spokenly in agreement when Lavender was already smiling, but Hermione suddenly interrupted him and forcefully pulled him to her side.

"Huh?" Ron was confused. "What do I have?"

"You have a team now. Join me. You don't need to worry about finding other teammates. Just follow me and learn to get stronger."

Hermione didn't know why she was being so domineering, nor was she quite sure why she had suddenly changed her mind and done this.

She couldn't understand why she had suddenly felt a sense of revulsion towards Ron and Lavender teaming up.

She just had a strong feeling that if she didn't bring Ron over, she would definitely regret it later.

So she did it.

Moreover, she felt a strange sense of peace after doing this.

"Hermione, you can't be so domineering. Ron is free to team up with whomever he wants, you..."

Lavender stomped her foot and angrily began to rant and rave at Hermione.

However, Ron's words after he realized what was happening made Lavender swallow the rest of his words.

"Great! Hermione, you've changed your mind? That's wonderful! Let's team up!"
