This was the first time that Tom saw the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. This pitch in the dusk did not have the bustle of game days. It looked deserted and a bit eerie. The pitch was oval in shape and the playing field was five hundred feet long.
, one hundred and eighty feet wide, with a small circle two feet in diameter in the center of the field, where Bludgers, Quaffles, and Golden Snitches will be released during the game. At the end of the long axis of the ellipse, there are three fifty
A foot-high pole with a ring on the top, which is the scoring area for the Quaffle. The outside of the stadium is a stand, which is divided into four areas according to the college and the professor's podium. Spectators can sit on the top of the tower-shaped stand to watch the game.
The stadium has a panoramic view.

Four stages of progress: 4/8 Hogwarts Quidditch pitch unlocked]
Sure enough, the Quidditch pitch can also be regarded as an anchor point. He found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the captain's arrival. After this week's classes, Tom had been to many classrooms in the castle, but not
Any classroom can become a check-in anchor. This week, he has only found two new anchors, one is the greenhouse of Hogwarts, and the other is the astronomy tower. Today there is one more
Location: Stadium.
Tom waited for a while, but Captain Ridge did not come. Instead, he met an acquaintance: Harry, whom he had met on the train, came over carrying a broomstick. In the morning, six owls came to him.
Harry sent a package, and it looked like this broom was inside the package. It could be seen that Harry was very happy and anxious. He walked quickly and hummed a tune. But when he saw Tom
, obviously taken aback.
"Why are you here?"×2
"I came here for a walk——"×2
"What a coincidence..."×2
Then the two fell into silence.
Harry: "..."
Tom: "..."
Harry was surprised, and Tom was no less surprised than him. Tom knew that Harry was going to be admitted to the Gryffindor Quidditch team in advance, but he didn't expect that his team test would be at 7pm tonight!
This was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately Harry was much more embarrassed than Tom: he was holding a handful of contraband in his hand! First-year students were not allowed to hold brooms. At this time, Harry was very lucky.
The person he met tonight was Tom from Ravenclaw House. He had met Tom before. Harry felt that this person was much more normal than the people in Slytherin, and he would not report him - of course, he did not
Don't be afraid of being reported.
Seeing Tom's eyes falling on his broom, Harry forced a smile and said, "A friend gave it to me... I couldn't help but take it out and ride it."
"Then your friend is really rich. He is willing to give away Nimbus 2,000." Tom likes this kind of tough-talking person the most, and it is particularly interesting to tease him.
Harry showed an awkward smile, "Ah, is this Nimbus 2000? I don't quite understand... Well, anyway, can you keep it a secret for me?"
Fortunately, Tom didn't delve into it, he changed the topic, and Harry chatted with him all the time, and at the same time he was worried: It's not far from seven o'clock, and Wood is coming!
…
Alessandro Ricci is in a good mood. Because their academy team is likely to introduce a talented newcomer.
Oliver Wood is in a good mood because their academy team will be introducing a talented newcomer.
Today Alessandro Ritchie is going to the Quidditch pitch to determine the suitable position for the newcomers. Today Oliver Wood is also going to the pitch to determine the suitable position for the newcomers. Ritchie made an appointment at seven o'clock in the evening, and Wood also made an appointment.
It's seven o'clock in the evening.
So the two people met on the way to the stadium.
Richie and Wood looked at each other and fell into a deadly silence. Finally, the silence was broken by the banging sound from the wooden box held under their arms.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you going there?"
"Take a walk. I ate too much for dinner. Let's go out and walk around twice to digest it."
"Then why did you bring two brooms and a suitcase?"
Richie cursed in his mind: Aren’t you also carrying a suitcase?
Wood did not continue to dwell on this issue. The two looked at each other, and Richie coughed twice: "Did you have a date on the Quidditch pitch?" Since Richie took the initiative to break the window paper, Wood did not.
Concealing it again: "Yes, I have a date."
"By coincidence, I also have a date at the stadium."
The two of them already knew each other's purpose, and this suspicion was verified when they met Tom and Harry who were chatting awkwardly in the stadium.
The two captains fell into a brief silence, and then looked at each other and smiled. Both Rich and Wood were relieved. Both of them knew the other's secret, which was equivalent to neither of them knowing. Moreover, although they had not read a sacred book
Books, but also know who is one's enemy and who is one's friend. Is Ravenclaw considered a friend of Gryffindor? This question is controversial, but Ravenclaw is definitely not Gryffindor
There is only one mortal enemy of Gryffindor.
In Wood's view, even if you add another strong player to Ravenclaw, it won't be able to surpass Gryffindor, which has already made up for its shortcomings. Instead, it will add to Slytherin's problems. This is a good thing. But standing behind Richie
From his perspective, he didn't lose anything in this matter - to put it in perspective, didn't he gain valuable information about Gryffindor?
So the two simply walked into the stadium together. Harry was dumbfounded by the appearance of these two people, but Tom was not very surprised. Wood told Harry and Tom the rules of Quidditch, and then the four of them chatted in pairs.
They went to both ends of the court to do their own tests.
Richie handed an 80% new broom to Tom. "Here, this broom is the Sweep Seven Star produced by the Sweep Broom Company. It is the standard broom for our team. The price/performance ratio of this broom is very good. Basically, if
There is no special need, everyone uses this broom for competitions.”
After finishing speaking, Richie's mood was a little depressed. He recognized the model of the broom in Harry's hand just by looking at it - how could a team captain not recognize the famous Nimbus 2000? He was also very fond of it.
I want to ride this broom!
"It's a pity that Professor Flitwick can't buy such a broom for his students. He doesn't have such a strong will to defeat the Slytherin team." Richie sighed in his heart, but he had also heard a few rumors.
The reason why Professor McGonagall has such an obsession is because she was fouled by a member of the Slytherin team in a seventh-grade game that could determine the Quidditch Cup. She broke several ribs and her head.
She also suffered a concussion. From then on, seeing the Slytherin team lose miserably on the Quidditch field became her lifelong wish.
