Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Quidditch pitch.
The weather in the Scottish Highlands always changes like a girl's mood. It was sunny and sunny before, but now it has become sultry, and the clouds gathering in the sky are faintly thunderous.
Although it was not an official match day, there were still many spectators gathered in the stands of the Quidditch stadium at this time, staring intently at the stadium below, and from time to time there were cheers or whistles.
Due to "military training", there were some slight adjustments to this year's course schedule, which resulted in the class time being postponed by a week. Therefore, the selection ceremonies for the Quidditch teams of the four colleges were simply adjusted to today.
And just now, the selection of the last player for the official academy team has ended.
Autumn Zhang, a sophomore from Ravenclaw, showed amazing balance and talent for catching moving objects. Without any suspense, she became the new Seeker of Ravenclaw and also announced the official team.
End of the selection process.
However, the students gathered in the stands did not disperse. Instead, they looked down with more expectant eyes. Led by Mrs. Huo Qi, they slowly walked into a group of little wizards in the middle of the stadium - that was
The first ever "Quidditch Trial Team" in the history of Hogwarts consists of first-year boys from four houses.
At the same time, members of the four college Quidditch teams also landed on the field, looking at this group of immature little ones with interest. Some people crossed their arms and whispered to each other, commenting something, and more
The people waved friendly hands towards the little guys and smiled encouragingly.
"Elena, I'm a little nervous. I seem to have eaten too much... What should I do?"
Hannah clutched the broom handle in her hand and whispered uneasily.
Ever since she walked out of the lounge and into the center of the court, little Hannah's palms began to sweat. Facing the scrutiny of the senior students on the court and the shadowy spectators in the stands, she felt as if her knees
Somewhat soft.
You know, she originally thought that at most a dozen people would come to watch, but not like this... Hannah raised her head and looked around the crowded stands. It seemed that half of the entire school was here.
"Don't worry, you can fly very well, don't feel stressed."
Elena shook little Hannah's hand with her backhand and comforted her softly.
"As for the people around you, just imagine them as radishes, cabbages, and potatoes. Anyway, you can't see their faces clearly after they fly."
Unlike Hannah's worries, Elena was in a very relaxed mood at this time.
After all, she had already made up her mind from the beginning to lead this team into the official college round-robin competition. Compared with the pressure she would have to face at that time, the situation in front of her was just a preview.
"Okay, everyone. Come back to your senses and look towards me."
Mrs. Huo Qi cleared her throat and signaled the little wizards to turn their attention to her.
Elena noticed that today Mrs. Hooch was not carrying her shabby old broom. Instead, she was carrying a cloth bag similar to a giant guitar bag, and under her arm, she also held a large board.
crate.
"First of all, I will repeat the rules of Quidditch again, and then we will determine your future position on the team based on your wishes and your specific performance in heaven."
As Mrs. Huo Qi spoke, she knelt down and opened the crate. There were four balls of different sizes inside.
"Well, I think many of you should already know." Mrs. Huo Qi said.
"Although Quidditch has a long history, the rules are not too difficult to understand. As you can see, each team has seven official players. Three of them are Chasers, such as Slytherin's
Captain Marcus Flint, Captain Roger Davis of Ravenclaw."
As she spoke, Mrs. Huo Qi pointed to the members of the four college Quidditch teams standing at the edge of the field and introduced them.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Huo Qi bent down and took out a bright red ball as big as a football from the box.
"This ball is called the Quaffle. The chaser's task is to pass the Quaffle in my hand to each other and try to throw it into the opponent's goal to score. Each time the attack is successful, you will get ten points. It's not difficult to understand, right?
?”
“A location where the viewing pleasure and cost-effectiveness are completely out of proportion…”
Elena raised her eyebrows and murmured quietly.
"Hmm? Miss Kaslana, what's the problem?" Mrs. Ho Qi looked over curiously.
"No." Elena quickly shut her mouth, she didn't want to cause trouble.
"Okay, then, in addition to the chasers, each side has a goalkeeper, flying back and forth in front of the three goal knockers of their respective teams, trying to prevent the other team's chasers from scoring as much as possible-Ge
Oliver Wood, captain of Lanffindor Academy, is a very good goalkeeper."
"Three Chasers, a Keeper, the Quaffle..."
Harry Potter repeated Mrs. Hooch's words seriously, keeping them all in mind.
Since he had focused most of his energy on previewing Potions class, he didn't know much about Quidditch - most of which came from Ron's chatting and Hermione's previous chatter about Quidditch.
They were chanting and reciting the contents of "The Amazing Quidditch" in their ears.
"As for these two, they are called bludgers..."
Mrs. Huo Qi knocked on the two identical black balls inside the box. They were slightly smaller than the red Quaffle, and were tied with strong leather buckles. They were struggling in the box, seemingly
Want to fly out.
"Weasley, come here and do me a favor...Sorry, honey, I didn't mean you."
Mrs. Hooch shook her head at Ron, who came over on his own initiative. She took out two small wooden sticks that looked a bit like baseball bats from the box and threw them to two identical red-haired boys running over from the edge of the field.
"Attention, stand back. Just hit the sky..."
Mrs. Hooch looked around at the young wizards who were approaching, looked at the two Weasley brothers and nodded, then bent down and loosened the leather buckle that bound the Bludger.
The next moment, the two black balls shot up into the air with a swish, and then with a terrible whistling sound, they flanked one on the left and the other on the right, and hit directly in the direction of the Weasley brothers below. There was a big threat.
The momentum that broke their noses.
boom!
boom!
George Weasley, or maybe Fred Weasley, in short, one of the twins quickly raised his stick and accurately knocked the Bludger away sideways, while at the same time his other brother did the same.
Face easily blocked another Bludger - and then, they turned left and right and rushed towards the Slytherin team who were watching not far away.
boom!
"Do you want to fight? Weasley?!"
Derek and Bol managed to avoid the first round of Bludgers in some embarrassment. They quickly took out their bats and hit the two Bludgers into the sky again. They looked angrily at the man in front of him who was making a face.
Weasley brothers.
"Do you see clearly? These are Bludgers. They are enchanted and will actively track and attack the players closest to them, trying to knock the players off their broomsticks."
Ignoring the Slytherin team not far away, Fred Weasley turned around, made a handsome gesture towards Ron and Harry, pointed at himself and George Weasley, and looked proud.
said.
"So, each team will have two batters. And George and I are the Gryffindor batters. Our job is to protect our players and then hit the Bludgers to the opposite players - as long as
With us on the court, in most cases, the members of other teams can only display 80% of their strength at most."
"Understood, the three chasers try to score with the Quaffle; the goalkeeper guards the goalpost; and the batter prevents the Bludgers from injuring his own team members."
Harry nodded and concluded quickly.
"That's because there were four Bludgers on the field when you two were there!"
At this moment, Madam Hooch's roar rang in everyone's ears. After casting a spell to easily subdue the Bludgers that rushed down, Madam Hooch glared at the Weasley brothers with sharp eyes like a falcon.
.
"Weasley! What did I just say?!"
"Sorry, my hand slipped accidentally... You know, at that time, I subconsciously hit the green direction..."
Fred touched his head, stuck out his tongue, and explained with a sincere smile.
"Also, I think Derrick and Bol should be able to follow such a simple straight ball. Who knew they would react so slowly..."
"Weasley! Don't go too far! I..."
Derek frowned, clenched his fists, and looked fiercely at the Gryffindor twin brothers with playful smiles.
"Ahem, ahem."
Before Derek could say the harsh words, suddenly, a clear cough from a girl sounded in the venue.
