As soon as Halloween is over, the Quidditch League will begin. For the little wizards at Hogwarts, Quidditch is definitely a top priority. After Victoria recovered, the impact of the Chamber of Secrets was minimized. A
It was just a house that had been hidden for a thousand years and an item of dark magic. It was not worth their efforts. The next Quidditch game was much more important than the Chamber of Secrets.
After Victoria regained consciousness, she had a long conversation with Dumbledore. After Dumbledore left, she cried and wet the front of her pajamas. For this, Madam Pomfrey complained about Dumbledore for a long time. She thought
Patients who have just recovered from a serious illness should not be allowed to have such severe mood swings.
Before Dumbledore left, he asked Victoria if she wanted to erase this unpleasant memory. Victoria thought about it for a long time and decided to keep it.
"This lesson is very important to me." was her reply.
Victoria was recuperating in the school hospital for a while, and when she came out she looked even better than before she went in. Riddle's possession had caused serious damage to her body and mind. After getting rid of Riddle, Victorique was just like
Like the porter who had his burden removed, he finally had a chance to breathe.
Victoria, who had been lying in the hospital for a while, urgently needed to breathe fresh air. So even though the weather was humid and hot, there was faint thunder in the sky, and even though Madam Pomfrey told her that she had to rest for a while, she still came
Went to the Quidditch pitch to watch the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin game.
One side is well-equipped, the other is well-trained, and more importantly, the two teams have always been at odds with each other. There is no more exciting game than this. Not to mention the little wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin, Hufflepuff and
The students of Ravenclaw College are also looking forward to this game. On the one hand, the level of the two teams is very good, and on the other hand, they can collect first-hand intelligence!
They are really curious about how strong the full Nimbus 2001 team is and how Gryffindor will respond.
This situation is extremely rare for the Slytherin team. Because there are many things in the wizarding world that are updated very slowly, such as textbooks, but there is one thing that is updated as fast as the Muggle world, and that is broomsticks.
Last year, Harry received a Nimbus 2000. Its performance was the best in the school. Then the company launched the Nimbus 2001 the next year, and its performance was much better than the Nimbus 2000. By Harry's fourth grade
By that time, the Firebolt had become the best broom again, and the affordable brooms developed by other broom companies, such as Sideswipe Broom Company and Comet Trading Company, had already caught up with Nimbus 2001 in terms of performance.
This can't help but remind people of mobile phone companies in the Muggle world. Especially the Nimbus Racing Broom Company's behavior of launching a new broom every year, which makes people wonder whether this company has a name in the Muggle world.
A division of "Apple"?
Since the updates are so frequent, little wizards who are not professional game players are naturally "waiting party" per capita. How can they spend money to buy the most advanced brooms until they meet a big dog?
Therefore, it was the first time for the little wizards to see the situation where the brooms could crush their opponents. So almost all the little wizards came to the Quidditch pitch.
Before the game started, the little wizard's mentality changed subtly. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff House actually supported Gryffindor this time. They all wanted to see Slytherin defeated. The Slytherin team
It's like playing on the road.
Colorful flags fluttered on the court and fireworks flashed.
Tom also found a seat in the Ravenclaw stands. Seeing Professor Lockhart appear, a group of young wizards gathered around him, wanting to hear his story about his adventures in the Chamber of Secrets.
"There is no thrilling adventure story this time, but it took a little effort to solve the puzzle in the early stage," Tom said very modestly. At the same time, he felt a little guilty: Why were all the female students around him! He left no trace.
I glanced at Hermione, who was sitting two rows of seats away, and found that she seemed to be looking forward to the game with her roommates.
He secretly approached the boys around him, and invisibly distanced himself from the girls who had stars in their eyes.
"Reading is very important. There is a lot of unexpected knowledge in the book. At this point, I would like to praise Miss Granger. You may not have imagined that her paper has been included in the magazine "Magic"..."
At this time, Fred and George's good friend Jordan also squeezed over. He wanted to get some gossip before the game started. He pulled his neck and shouted: "Professor, tell me what it's like in the secret room!"
"
Tom did not hide anything, and patiently described the layout of the secret room to the surrounding audience: the long pipes, the mechanisms that can only be activated by Parseltongue, the exquisite doors and the gloomy hall...
When we talked about the Chamber of Secrets, the topic inevitably turned to Slytherin.
"Slytherin is such a bad guy! I really don't understand why the other three founders would hang out with such people." The speaker was Justin Finch-Fletchley, a second-year Hufflepuff student from a Muggle family.
Origin. It is normal for him to have a very bad impression of Salazar Slytherin.
What Professor Lockhart said next shocked him.
"Actually, in Slytherin's time, his theory had some merit."
Professor Lockhart is actually defending Slytherin!
"Is Professor Lockhart also a supporter of the pure-blood theory? But Professor Lockhart is a mixed-blood." Hearing Professor Lockhart say such remarks, the thoughts came to the minds of the students around him.
Tom had a different understanding than others of what Slytherin meant by "purification". When people in later generations mentioned Slytherin, their first reaction was that he was a fanatical supporter of pure blood theory and wanted to teach Hogwarts
Clean out all young wizards from Muggle families.
In fact, this is a stereotype of future generations. Slytherin does not agree with students from Muggle families entering Hogwarts because he cannot trust these people. Considering the era in which Slytherin lived, it makes sense. Muggles
Young wizards with family backgrounds are more likely to lean towards the Muggle world. At that time, the Secrecy Law had not yet been introduced. Once wizards and Muggles conflict, they can easily fall to the Muggle side or be bribed by Muggle nobles. Reference
Nearly Headless Nick and captured wizards usually end up very tragic. In the final analysis, it is still because of the conflict between Muggles and wizards.
Tom explained his point of view to several children.
"As for the theory of pure blood, I think it's very funny," Tom also took the opportunity to share his views on the theory of pure blood with these young wizards: it is completely nonsense, nothing more than a rhetoric to gain a higher status.
"What is half-blood? What is pure-blood?" Tom asked and answered. "Mix-blood usually refers to wizards whose parents or grandparents are Muggles or Muggle-born. Pure-blood refers to those in the family tree - I mean
In the family tree - there are no wizards or wizard families with Muggles or Muggle-borns. But in fact, as long as you go back far enough, you can find Muggle ancestors in almost all wizard families."
The young wizards were shocked by this definition. Before, they only knew that so-and-so was a pure-blood, and so-and-so was from a Muggle family. The rest were all classified as mixed-blood. But they were not familiar with this kind of pure-blood and mixed-blood.
Still don't know the definition.
"It turns out that pure blood only refers to ancestors who are all wizards in the family tree, ah..." Among the young wizards present, the smarter ones have discovered the problem: it turns out that those so-called pure-blood wizard families are only on paper.
pure blood.
There is a problem and the family tree is changed? Isn’t this deceiving oneself and others?
In fact, in order to maintain the purity of their blood, most pure-blood families will only choose to marry members of other pure-blood families. However, this will obviously lead to the phenomenon of incest marriage, and because the number of pure-blood families is small, there are not many marriage partners of the right age.
Many. Therefore, some wizarding families will turn a blind eye and allow family members to marry mixed-blood wizards - the Malfoy family is one such family. And those pure-blood wizarding families who adhere to the creed of "only marry pure-bloods"
, will gradually become unsustainable and reach the end of the road... The most representative ones are the Gaunt family, the Lestrange family, the Crouch family and the Black family.
"Actually, the number of pure-blood families has been decreasing. In a few decades, some of the current twenty-eight pure-blood families may have disappeared." Tom counted on his fingers, "The Gaunt family decades ago
There are no heirs. There are only two direct descendants of the Black family. One died during the Wizarding War, and the other was imprisoned in Azkaban. The Crouch family is also a single descendant..."
I didn’t know, but I was shocked when I counted them. It turned out that the famous twenty-eight pure-blood families had reached the end of their rope, and a large number of families were in a state of being passed down by a single line. They may have many wizard relatives, but there are really only three of them.
They are left alone.
The main reason is that it is too easy for pure blood to disappear! Technically speaking, Harry is also a mixed-blood wizard, because Lily is a witch from a Muggle family. The Potter family is one of the three Peverell brothers and has a long tradition of pure blood.
A blood family, but starting from Harry's generation, it is no longer a pure-blood family in theory.
From the perspective of pure-blood young wizards, this issue is a very serious topic, but almost all the mixed-blood wizards present did not care about it. Compared with the news that a large number of pure-blood families are about to die, Quidditch
The game started to attract their attention significantly more.
At the beginning of the game, Gryffindor was at a disadvantage. The Slytherin team's super broomsticks worked. They scored consecutive goals and caught Gryffindor off guard. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were in the audience.
The people on the Diqi team looked serious. Asking themselves, they felt that if they were to switch to their own team, their performance might not be as good as Gryffindor!
"Is that the end?" They stared at the leaden sky, feeling depressed: this year's Quidditch Cup might go to Slytherin.
As if matching the mood of the little wizards, it started to rain. Big drops of rain beat on the ceiling of the stands, and small water droplets stuck to the faces of the audience with the wind, disturbing everyone's mood.
Vision.
Tom remembered something: it was not a good day for Harry to play ball.
Bang! Fred used all his strength to hit a Bludger flying towards Harry. The Bludger spun towards Adrian Pusey. Unexpectedly, it changed direction midway and went straight again.
Flying towards Harry.
"Damn it!" Fred yelled, "There's something wrong with this Bludger!"
At this time, the heavy rain in the sky blocked the sight of the players, and Harry could not even see clearly what was going on on the field. The rain slapped on his face, and the cool water droplets rolled into his clothes, making his cloak and trousers all wet.
He also has to avoid crazy Bludgers.
When the rain blurred his eyes, Harry suddenly understood the function of the wipers. He exhaled hard and shook the water off his face. At this time, he heard the voice of the narrator Lee Jordan:
"Sixty to zero, Slytherin is in the lead."
I really don’t know how he could clearly see the situation on the field. Of course, he might not have seen anything and was just reading the numbers on the scoreboard.
At Fred's signal, Wood called a timeout.
The team members are all aware of the out-of-control Bludger, but according to the outrageous rules of Quidditch, if the Gryffindor team stops the game now and initiates an investigation, it will be disqualified from the game and automatically lose.
Harry didn't want to do this. He insisted on continuing the game and asked Fred and George to stop covering for him.
In the field of vision of the spectators in the stands, due to the heavy rain, they could only see roughly. They knew that the Gryffindor team called a timeout, but the game continued shortly after. After the game continued, Harry
Flying around in the air in a very funny posture, it caused many people to laugh - they didn't know that Harry was being chased by a Bludger.
After a while, Harry suddenly sprinted, and a Bludger hit him hard on the arm. But he did not stop, but accelerated towards the Slytherin team's Seeker: Malfoy. All
Everyone thought there seemed to be some conflict between the two, but in the end Harry just passed by Malfoy, then lost control of the broom and fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a lot of water on the ground and it became muddy. With a "bang", Harry fell into the mud and splashed a large amount of water. At the same time, the whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the game was over.
Yes! Harry caught the Snitch.
Harry noticed that his arm was bent at a very strange angle - the Bludger had broken his arm just now. His teammates and Gryffindor students who noticed something was wrong gathered around him,
But Harry felt that their voices seemed far away from him...
Madam Pomfrey was invited.
In less than a second, she healed Harry's arm so that it could move freely. Harry struggled to stand up from the muddy water and walked towards the castle surrounded by his classmates. However, Harry had not walked very far.
Stepping forward, he suddenly fell down again and covered his forehead: a burning pain came from his scar without any warning.
