"Professor Snape, we booked the entire Quidditch Pitch in advance, and Ron only attacked Malfoy because Malfoy called Hermione a Mudblood!"
Facing the terrifying Snape, Wood and the others, though angry, dared not retort, but Harry was unwilling to let it go.
Snape's eyes grew even sterner upon hearing this:
"You still dare to lie?"
"Malfoy, did you call Hermione a Mudblood?"
At this moment, George suddenly spoke up, asking Malfoy.
Malfoy felt that with Snape present, Wood and the others wouldn't dare to be presumptuous, and he proudly raised his head and said:
"She is a Mudblood. Hogwarts shouldn't accept Mudbloods as students."
"It's not up to you to decide who Hogwarts accepts as students!"
Upon hearing Malfoy's remarks, Snape immediately turned his head and reprimanded him severely.
He knew that the Witch he loved most, Harry's mother, Lily Evans, was also from a Muggle family.
George, seeing his goal achieved, quietly retreated.
Malfoy was clearly startled by Snape, who had always been relatively lenient with him, and quickly shut his mouth.
Snape looked at Harry again:
"The previous deduction is canceled, but Potter, because you talked back to a Professor, Gryffindor will have five points deducted for this."
Harry wanted to retort, but Hermione grabbed his arm.
It was twenty points deducted just now, and now it's only five points, which is much better.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, Ron opened his mouth, and a pile of slugs once again spewed out.
"Finite Incantatem!"
George stepped forward and waved his wand; a blue magic beam hit Ron, and the slugs in Ron's mouth immediately disappeared.
Snape had said during the tutoring session that if you encountered Dark Arts for which you didn't know the counter-curse, you could try using the general counter-spell. He tried it now, and it actually worked.
"Thank you, George."
Ron, who had returned to normal, immediately thanked him.
Harry and Hermione also nodded to George; they knew that if George hadn't added that extra comment, luring Malfoy to speak the truth, Gryffindor would have had fifteen more points deducted.
George quietly winked, then retreated back to Snape's side.
"I wanted to try the general counter-spell I just learned."
Snape said blandly upon hearing this:
"George helped a classmate with healing, Slytherin gets five points."
The Slytherin team's little Wizards, whose heads had just drooped, lifted them up again.
"Alright, that's enough of this. Next, the Slytherin team needs to train two new players. You can leave now."
Hearing Snape's words dismissing them, Wood immediately led everyone out of the Quidditch Pitch.
However, after leaving the Pitch, Harry, Ron, and Hermione quietly returned, hiding in the stands and peeking over.
They weren't trying to spy on the Slytherin team's intelligence; they simply wanted to know whether George or Malfoy would be the new Seeker.
They had learned about George joining the Slytherin team yesterday through Ginny.
At that time, they thought George would definitely be Slytherin's Seeker, just like Harry last year, but today they learned that Malfoy had already become the new Seeker because his father had replaced everyone's flying brooms with the latest Nimbus 2001s.
So they were worried that George's entry into the team might not go smoothly.
"You should all know about George. He can perform difficult maneuvers with a training flying broom that even international Quidditch players find challenging."
"So I've decided he will be the team's new Seeker."
After Wood and the others left, Snape began to announce George's position on the team.
Malfoy's face immediately changed upon hearing this:
"Dean, it was agreed that I would be the new Seeker. You promised my father!"
"Adrian Pucey and Terence Higgs have both left the team to focus on their studies. Malfoy, you will be the new Chaser."
Snape replied without hesitation.
This was the arrangement he had thought of last night.
Young Malfoy indeed had good flying broom talent, and his father's generosity greatly enhanced the Slytherin team's strength.
So, replacing Terence Higgs, who had been weaker than first-year Harry, with young Malfoy was very reasonable and in Slytherin's best interest.
And now that there was a flying broom genius like George, the most important position of Seeker naturally had to go to George.
However, young Malfoy still brought considerable value, so he replaced the dispensable Chaser, Adrian Pucey.
"Dean, I don't agree. I want to be the Seeker and compete with Potter."
Malfoy immediately shouted.
Now everyone knew he was going to be the Slytherin team's Seeker. If George took his place, he would be greatly humiliated.
Moreover, he always wanted to get the better of Harry, and only as a Seeker would he have that hope.
"Dean, you know George is friends with Harry and is on good terms with the Gryffindor people. If he's the Seeker, he'll definitely go easy on Harry!"
"Malfoy, do you think our Slytherin Wizards can't be friends with Gryffindor?"
At this moment, George walked in front of Malfoy.
"I think, let alone friends, if it's suitable, even finding a Gryffindor Witch as a wife in the future is not impossible.
We are all Hogwarts Wizards. Competition is normal, but it's a bit unreasonable to say we can't be friends or lovers just because we're from different houses.
Who stipulated that only people from one house can be friends or get married?"
The other members of the Slytherin team were stunned by George's bold remarks. They thought George was surely about to be severely reprimanded by Snape.
"Dean, you see, I was right, wasn't I? If George is the Seeker, he'll definitely go easy on Harry. He even wants to find those Mudbloods from Gryffindor to be his wife.
A Slytherin Wizard wanting to find a Gryffindor Wizard as a wife—this is simply the biggest joke I've heard today!"
"Silence, Upside Down!"
Snape's face darkened, and he directly cast a spell, hanging Malfoy Upside Down.
"Either be a Chaser, or get out of the team."
"You little punk, trying to fight me."
George's lips curled slightly when he saw this. He had deliberately said that to provoke Malfoy into saying those words.
Malfoy didn't know that Snape's greatest pain was that because they were sorted into different houses, and because he prided himself on his Slytherin identity, he said some excessive things that caused Lily to be taken by Potter.
Malfoy's words were practically a slap in Snape's face.
"Dean, I see Malfoy doesn't seem convinced. How about this, Malfoy and I have a match. Whoever catches the Golden Snitch first will be Slytherin's Seeker."
He wanted to make Malfoy truly submit, so he wouldn't dare to challenge him again, establishing his own position in Slytherin.
"Finite Incantatem!"
With a wave of his wand, Snape put Malfoy down.
Young Malfoy's parents and he were close; besides both being Death Eaters, they were also classmates, and he had even almost become young Malfoy's godfather.
So if young Malfoy hadn't been constantly poking at his pain today, he wouldn't have been so harsh with him.
"Good, then we'll have a match. The winner will be the Seeker, and the loser will be the Chaser."
