......

For little Malfoy and Harry's grievance, Jerry did not interfere much.

His goal is to concentrate on learning magic and try to strengthen himself. Improving one's status among the students is just to learn more magic more effectively.

Instead of being a peacemaker and adjusting the grievances and disputes between several children, it would be a pain in the ass!

The flight lesson was over and it was already six o'clock.

Jerry came to the Great Hall with the little wizards and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner that had already filled the table.

To be honest, the food at Hogwarts is generally pretty good.

Although it is not as extravagant as the opening banquet, there are not a few meat dishes in each meal, and beef, mutton and the like are almost always available.

After dinner, Jerry was preparing to go back to the dormitory to take a nap to recover the spirit that he used to refresh his mind and overdrawn today.

The expressionless Professor Snape in a black wizard robe suddenly blocked his way.

"Come with me!"

After just leaving a sentence, Professor Snape turned and walked towards his office.

Although Jerry was confused, he kept up with it honestly.

Slytherin's dean's office is also on the basement floor, on the same floor as the Potions Classroom and Slytherin's common room.

The layout of the office is very much in line with Snape's personal image.

Except for one desk, the entire office was filled with various bottles and jars of animal and plant specimens and precious potion refining materials.

At first glance, I thought it was in the material storage room for refining potions.

But it also shows that Snape is really rich. It is estimated that most of these precious potion materials are privately owned by him.

......

"Ms. Hooch has just told me about your performance in class. I heard that you were diving at a height of more than 20 feet and caught the idiot of the Longbottom family in one fell swoop?"

Snape sat behind his desk, looking sharply at Jerry.

"Yes, I didn't think about it myself!"

When Jerry heard that it turned out to be a broomstick class, he was relieved.

He knew that Snape hated Gryffindor on the surface, but in fact, he still loved every little wizard in the school, and would not trouble him because he saved a Gryffindor wizard.

Besides, he also earned ten points for Slytherin.

"It's your first time riding a broom!"

Snape continued to ask.

Jerry nodded cheekily.

"Very well, Ms. Hooch told me that you are absolutely the best Seeker student she has ever met, so I want you to join the Quidditch team in Slytherin directly as Seeker!"

Snape didn't beat around the bush, but gave a very direct command.

"This... First graders can't seem to be able to join Quidditch!"

Jerry hesitated.

He didn't really want to join Quidditch, because he felt that if he had the time, he might as well focus on studying magic to improve his strength. Quidditch practice is just an entertainment activity no matter how good it is.

Just like basketball, football, badminton, no matter how well you practice, when you fight, you still can't do what other people practice Sanda.

And he didn't remember Voldemort ever being a Quidditch player.

"Don't worry about that, I'll tell Dumbledore!"

Snape waved his hand.

"I heard that our Slytherin team seems to have been pressing the Gryffindor team all the time. It's already so good, there's no need to add a freshman to me!

And I want to spend more time learning magic! "

Jerry expressed his thoughts a little.

Snape nodded, expressing his appreciation for Jerry's eagerness to learn, but he did not give up his previous plans.

"I've never paid attention to Team Gryffindor, and they haven't won a match in the past few years, but that doesn't mean that we Slytherin can get first place every year.

Last year was Hufflepuff first, Slytherin second, Gryffindor third, and Ravenclaw fourth.

I want to beat not just Gryffindor, but Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, that's why I want you to be the new Seeker. "

It turns out that although Slytherin has been pressing Gryffindor over the past few years, he has not been able to win the Quidditch Cup every time. Hufflepuff's team is also very good, especially their Seeker plug Derek Diggory.

Seeing that Jerry was still hesitating, Snape continued to add:

"The Nimbus 2000, as long as you are willing to be Slytherin's Seeker, I will give you the latest Nimbus 2000!"

"make a deal!"

Nimbus 2000 is now the latest broom, the fastest speed is at least twice that of sweeping Samsung, and its performance in steering, braking and other aspects is far superior to sweeping Samsung.

Jerry knew very well that while he had not yet learned to Apparate, a broom with better performance might give him a little more chance of surviving in a dangerous battle like the last time.

So when Snape said that he would give away a Nimbus 2000 for free, he decisively agreed.

Snape: "..."

As expected, it is an excellent Slytherin. As soon as I heard it was beneficial, it was really fast enough to promise.

"follow me!"

Seeing that Jerry had agreed, Snape got up and took him to the Slytherin team captain Marcus Flint.

Marcus Flint looks very strong. It is said that he may have the blood of a troll in his body. He is a fifth-year student and just became the captain of the Slytherin team this year.

He frowned when he heard that Snape wanted Jerry, a freshman, to be the most important Seeker.

"Dean, what about Terrence Higgs if he's the Seeker?"

Terrence Higgs was the former Slytherin Seeker.

"You lost to Hufflepuff last year, he's not a proper Seeker, let him be a reserve!"

Snape lowered his head and squinted, and gave Marcus a bad tone.

Marcuston trembled in his heart, knowing that his question just now made the dean a little unhappy, and quickly replied:

"Okay, then wait until Saturday, let Jerry come to the Quidditch training ground, and I'll teach him some Quidditch rules!"

After hearing this, Snape nodded with satisfaction, and took Jerry back to the office.

In fact, the reason why Snape believed Jerry so much was not only because of what Ms. Hooch said, but also because of the scene when Jerry rescued Neville, which he happened to see.

"The Nimbus 2000 will be delivered in a few days, you can go back!"

Back at the office, Snape didn't say much and let Jerry go.

However, just as Jerry was about to leave the office, Snape's emotionless voice sounded behind him again:

"If you do well in your Quidditch training, I'll allow you to come here at night and ask me about magic!"
