"Ha, it seems like she cares more about the team than me!" Captain Richie joked to Tom while holding the locker.
"Captain, you have the nerve to say..." Tom was speechless.
Rich waited for a while, and after everyone came in, he took out a blackboard and began to recount today's tactics to the players.
While Richie was deploying tactics, Hermione had already arrived at the stands above the locker room. Although it was still some time before the game started, the attendance rate in the stands was already close to half.
As soon as Hermione came up, she saw two red-haired teenagers wandering in the Ravenclaw stands. They were surrounded by several Ravenclaw seniors. One of the red-haired boys was holding a notebook in his hand.
Talk to them and the other one is holding a box.
Hermione recognized them as Fred and George, the Weasley twins. They were both Gryffindor students. Hermione was a little confused: What were they doing here?
"So why can you take 5% of the profits?" A third-year Ravenclaw student was somewhat dissatisfied, "No matter who loses or wins, you will always be the winner."
"Because we organized it, and the fireworks we gave you don't need money?" Fred argued.
The boy still shook his head, but he finally threw a few Sickles into the box. The inside of the box was divided into two parts by a wooden board, with a Ravenclaw flag on one side and Hufflepah on the other.
Strangely, the number of coins in the two parts is almost the same.
George next to him wrote down the boy's name and bet amount in a book. Then he followed the same pattern, and several little wizards surrounding him also placed their bets. After their names were written down, they looked like they were holding a bunch of fireworks.
of things left. Some students felt that one bunch was not enough and would buy a few more bunches.
Hermione understood what the Weasley brothers were doing: betting, a reserved event in competitive sports, and her father often played this with his friends. But this was the first time she had seen betting in the wizarding world.
Out of curiosity, she chatted with the Weasley brothers for a while and learned about the market. She quickly understood the rules. This kind of betting was much simpler than that in the Muggle world. It was a simple bet on the outcome.
The right person splits the wrong person's bet in proportion to their money - of course, Fred and George take 5% of the profit.
And for everyone who placed a bet, Fred and George would give them a bunch of fireworks they developed themselves. What's enough for a bunch of fireworks? So many little wizards would buy some more from them.
Hermione thought about it, bet five Sickles of Ravenclaw, and took a bunch of fireworks. After the transaction, Hermione found a good viewing seat and sat down to wait for the game to start, while Weiss
Brother Lai also continued to look for customers.
The game started at eleven o'clock. Almost all the teachers and students came to the Quidditch pitch. Many people came prepared. They held binoculars, banners, fireworks and the like in one hand, and either
It was a snack or the flag of the college. After everyone was seated, the stands automatically rose into the air so that everyone could see the game clearly.
Two teams have already arrived.
The atmosphere in the stadium was not particularly tense. After all, they were Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. If Gryffindor faced Slytherin, there would be countless fireworks in the sky at this time.
"Contestants get on their broomsticks!"
With Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle, the game began.
Tom stared at the Quaffle closely. When he heard the whistle, he immediately took off and flew towards the thrown Quaffle. His reaction was extremely fast, so several Hufflepuff chasers were a little slower.
He is half the size smaller.
Those few seconds at the start of the game are a great opportunity to score, because the batter has not had time to interfere with the chaser with the Bludger, and the goalkeeper is not in good enough condition.
Tom grabbed the Quaffle at once, then immediately started to accelerate, and the broom flew out with a roar. The distance between the Hufflepuff chasers who were following his broom or running alongside him and Tom were suddenly widened.
. This second of acceleration gave him a positional advantage.
At this time, the remaining two chasers were flying towards the goal, and the two batters had already seized the advantageous position, swiping the bludger hard towards the Hufflepuff chasers, trying to
Interfering with them, only to be intercepted by their batsmen.
In an instant, Tom rushed in front of Hufflepuff goalkeeper Ketel Burn, and then threw a fierce throw. Kettle Burn jumped up and twisted towards the place where he threw the ball, but immediately froze because he
It was discovered that the ball did not fly towards the goal, but flew towards Roger who was a little further away from the goal.
Roger caught the ball steadily and then threw it in the opposite direction of Kettle Byrne, and the ball went in easily.
At this time, it was less than ten seconds before Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle blew.
The commentator for the Hogwarts Quidditch match is Lee Jordan of Gryffindor House. He is Fred's classmate and his good friend. He is a commentator with a clear stance - that is to say, there are
When Gryffindor competes, he will unabashedly support Gryffindor House. But when there is no Gryffindor and Slytherin competes, he is still quite objective, neutral and professional.
At this time, he had just stood in front of the microphone and had not yet finished his opening remarks.
"...Hufflepuff versus Ravenclaw, this year Ravenclaw has - what? Tom Yoder, good chance - throw - no, pass! The ball goes in! Oh my god,
Ravenclaw's attack was like lightning! Hufflepuff was caught off guard! Oh my god, this is the fastest goal I've seen since I entered school!"
Jordan originally wanted to introduce Tom, the rookie who broke the record this year, but Ravenclaw broke through Hufflepuff's goal with a fast break. The little wizards in the audience didn't even react! Oliver Wood was sitting
In the stands, his brows were furrowed, and he was wondering if he could defend against this attack if he were on the court. The final conclusion was: it would be difficult.
"So, maybe we really need to rely on Potter." Wood rubbed his brow.
At this time, Ravenclaw launched another fierce attack. After a series of dazzling operations, he once again broke through Hufflepuff's goal.
"Tom's broom feels a little strange..." Jordan discovered the problem. It seemed that Tom could suddenly accelerate every time and throw away the defender?
As these words were spoken, more and more people discovered this feature, and Hufflepuff called a timeout, but in the end Mrs. Hooch determined that this modification was not a foul.
As the game progressed, Tom was defended more and more tightly, but this also meant that other Ravenclaw chasers had more opportunities. So Ravenclaw scored one goal after another, and the game
In the first quarter of an hour, the score expanded to 80-0.
