"Are you telling the truth?" Richie's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He even suspected that Tom was comforting him.
"Of course, do you want me to go to the dormitory and bring it to you to take a look at?"
"Okay, let's go now."
Tom:……
Captain, you are so rude!
Richie couldn't help but feel rude, he really needed a broom that could compete with the Firebolt. So he took Tom back to Tom's dormitory.
"Look!" Tom took out the Firebolt with a little dust from under his bed.
"Merlin on top!" Richie's vision went dark when he saw a broom like the Firebolt being stuffed casually under the bed.
"You - you!" His face turned pale, he snatched the broom from Tom's hand, and wiped it carefully with the hem of his robe.
The Firebolt was very docile in his hands. Maybe even the Firebolt himself didn't want to be stuffed under the bed.
Finally, Richie wiped the broom to a brand new state.
Looking at the Firebolt in his hand that was "99 new and has only been thrown to the ground once", Richie showed a satisfied smile.
"Broomsticks should be well maintained, even if you are no longer serving on the team." Richie said meaningfully, and now he was 100% sure that this broomstick was a genuine Firebolt.
At this time, Richie made a small calculation in his mind. Yoder had a broom and good skills. If he was deceived, ah no, he would be persuaded to return to the team.
But Yodel seems to have no interest in Quidditch, so what should he do? How about asking Granger to persuade him? Granger seems to be very interested in all kinds of honors...
[Senior sister, you don’t want your college to not win the College Cup, right?]
Such an argument might impress Granger.
The calculations in Richie's heart were rattling.
"Captain, let's go out and talk." Tom took the broom from Richie's hand and the two of them walked out of the dormitory.
"By the way, you said there were three messages, but you only mentioned the first two. What's the third message?" After dealing with the Firebolt problem, Tom suddenly remembered that there was one more thing.
Richie only told him about the Dementors evacuating and Harry getting the Firebolt. I wonder what the third thing was?
"Oh!" Richie slapped his forehead, "I forgot to tell you. The third thing is that Qiu Zhang has recovered and can take over from Robert as the seeker."
Qiu Zhang is a talented seeker discovered by Ravenclaw College in recent years. However, she suffered a serious injury this semester and was unable to participate in the competition. Robert was forced to serve as a substitute.
"Then our probability of winning will be greatly increased." Tom said he was very optimistic about the future of the Ravenclaw team. The format of the Hogwarts Quidditch competition has changed a little this year, from the previous single game system to a double game system.
This means that each college will play against each other twice.
This is a good thing for students! In the past, four teams from four colleges would only play six games in a school year, but now it has become twelve. The number of games has doubled out of thin air, and the little wizards are naturally very happy.
Tom's Ravenclaw team had previously defeated Gryffindor in heavy rain and gained a huge advantage. Now Ravenclaw is temporarily ranked first because of their victory in that game. As long as they continue
If you perform steadily in the game, you will definitely win the Quidditch championship.
"Yodele, listen to me -" Richie was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tom.
"Captain, since Cho Chang is back, I think I can lend her my broom. I really don't have the energy to participate in the Quidditch match in the second half of the semester. Hermione and I have signed up for too many classes."
Richie:!
"Really? Are you really willing to lend the broom, I mean this Firebolt, to Qiuchang?!" Richie was shocked. He didn't expect that someone would be generous enough to lend the Firebolt.
To be fair, Richie didn't think he could do it. If he got the Firebolt, he wouldn't be willing to part with it, even if he knew the broom was best given to a Seeker or Chaser.
Neither the broom nor the wife will be lent to anyone!
Unexpectedly, Yodel actually understood the overall situation.
"Qiu Zhang is a senior. If it's Robert, I definitely won't borrow it." Tom joked.
"Be careful I tell Granger this." Richie was in a good mood. Although he failed to recall Tom to the team, there was an extra Firebolt in the team.
The two walked to the common room talking and laughing.
"Wait for me, I'll go find Qiu Chang." Rich asked Tom to wait at the junction of the dormitory and the lounge, while he hurriedly went to find Qiu Zhang.
Tom stood at the junction with his broom, waiting for Richie's arrival.
"Merlin! Is this a Firebolt?" a voice came from behind Tom. Tom looked back and saw Robert, the team's substitute Seeker, staring intently at his broom.
"Shh!" Tom gestured quickly, asking him to lower his voice, but it was too late. The lounge outside suddenly became quiet, and then there was a burst of excited whispers and the sound of chair legs scraping the floor. Next
In an instant, the entrance to the dormitory was blocked by people who came to watch the Firebolt.
"Tom, how did you get this broomstick? Have you ever ridden it?"
"Can I ride on your broom later?"
"Slytherin and the others are finished! How can Nimbus 2001 compete with Firebolt?"
"But they have seven 2001s, and we only have one Firebolt..."
The topic gradually went sideways. Young wizards in Ravenclaw often focused their attention on strange places. Tom noticed that Hermione was sitting next to the fireplace in the lounge, smiling at him.
Tom responded with a wry smile: He shouldn't have taken the Firebolt out of the lounge.
Tom handed the Firebolt out and let the students pass it around for viewing. They gathered around the Firebolt and observed the top-of-the-line broom from 360° until Richie and a black-haired witch appeared.
"Everyone, make way, make way!" Richie lined up the crowd, took the broom in his hand, and handed it to Qiu Zhang.
Qiu Zhang is a very beautiful girl. In addition, she is polite to others, has a sweet smile, and is well-mannered, so she is very popular among her Ravenclaw classmates.
"I plan to lend my broom to Senior Qiu Zhang, hoping that she can ride this broom and win the Quidditch Cup for us." Tom announced the news in front of everyone.
Qiu Zhang's face flushed with excitement, and he bowed to everyone repeatedly. The little wizards in Ravenclaw also cheered happily. The lounge was filled with joy, and everyone celebrated for a long time before dispersing.
The next day, the whole school learned the news: both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw houses had obtained a Firebolt!
This was a bolt from the blue for Slytherin.
