078: Intercept branches

"The Ravenclaw team won the first ball, and Davis passed it to Carmichael. The new chaser who joined the team seemed very unfamiliar with this field. He stopped and watched, trying to get acquainted with the field again...

…”

Lee Jordan's words made the Hufflepuff camp burst into laughter, and the Ravenclaws shouted dissatisfied. Caitlin waved her wand and wanted to give the commentator a little pain, but Professor McGonagall could only give up.

"Carmichael observed the court for five seconds and finally passed the ball back to his teammate Davis..." Commentator Lee Jordan liked to tease the players on the field, "Davis passed the ball without hesitation.

The Quaffle was thrown hard towards the goal.”

"The Hufflepuff goalkeeper seemed to be moved by Carmichael and was carefully observing the structure of the court, but the Quaffle had already flown into the goal!"

After Lee Jordan said this, he immediately added: "I was joking just now. Ravenclaw's new player Carmichael has a very good overall view. The Quaffle he throws is like a precise scalpel.

Smashed through Hufflepuff's defense..."

Lee Jordan must have grown up in the Muggle world, Joel thought.

Many viewers did not understand the "scalpel" he spoke of. Professor McGonagall had a sullen face and did not move her lips much when speaking, "Mr. Jordan, if you continue to speak some Muggle words that many students do not understand, the next game will be

There is no room for you on the commentary table."

Professor McGonagall's words reached the ears of the audience in the stands through the microphone in Jordan's hand, and they laughed out loud.

Jordan's face was as red as a monkey's, just like the faces of the Hufflepuff players ten minutes later.

They are now trailing 10:60, and only 10 minutes have passed in this game. Ravenclaw's chasers, led by the newcomer Carmichael, smashed their Hufflepuff defense into a mess.

.

Hufflepuff's defense has become fierce. They can see who Ravenclaw's offensive attack is, so they simply focus all their defensive energy on Eddie. As long as he and other Ravenclaw players

If the connection between them is cut off, the defense is successful.

This move achieved good results once it was implemented. Although Eddie had an excellent overall view, it was his first appearance and lacked experience, so he didn't know what to do in the face of this double-team situation.

For a while, the Ravenclaw team's offense fell into a quagmire.

But this new lineup did not dull the audience in the stands for too long. At the 28th minute of the game, Qiu Zhang neatly shook off the Hufflepuff seeker, controlled the broomstick, and flew from mid-air with a beautiful gesture.

Get the golden snitch.

In an instant, a sea of ​​joy formed in the Ravenclaw stands, with students hugging each other and celebrating their first Quidditch victory in two years.

The audience did not hesitate to applaud. This new Ravenclaw team was full of hope. The Ravenclaws, who had been numbed by the loss, tasted the long-lost taste of victory.

They gathered outside the Ravenclaw dressing room and carried their hero back to the common room.

Eddie excitedly waved on everyone's arms, like a general returning home after a victory.

Haylis sent orders to Honeydukes Candy Shop and the Three Broomsticks Bar, and ordered a large number of snacks and drinks to accompany the celebration.

After lunch, Eddie leaned on the sofa in the common room, accepting everyone's praise and compliments until Sergey dragged his suitcase into the common room.

"Sergey?" Eddie exclaimed in surprise, this enthusiasm startled Sergey.

He seemed to have not had a good rest for a long time. The dark circles under his eyes were very serious. His stature had become much taller and he looked even thinner.

Eddie's expression quickly cooled down and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had when they met. He waved his hands slightly irritably to drive away the crowd of spectators and returned to the dormitory.

"What's going on with him?" Sergey asked Allen who came over. Unlike Eddie, Sergey and Allen had always had a good relationship.

Allen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "He actually cares about you. You don't know, he is on the Hogwarts train..."

Alan didn't give Eddie any face and told him about circling the Hogwarts train looking for Sergey.

"How are you doing recently?" Joel came to Sergey and took the suitcase in his hand.

Sergey was stunned for a second, "...not good."

Joel pursed his lips and patted Sergey's shoulder. He guessed that Sergey's grandfather had passed away.

Sergey saw warmth in his roommate's eyes, which was completely opposite to the eyes of his relatives after his grandfather passed away.

He grinned the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth, showed an ugly smile, and followed his two roommates back to the dormitory.

Eddie sat on the chair with a sullen face, looking unhappy, but when Sergey unfolded the quilt on the bed, he still took the initiative to help him clean the dust on it.

After making the bed, Sergey began to pack his suitcase.

"Well... can any of you lend me some money? I haven't bought the textbooks for the new semester yet." Sergey took out the clothes from the suitcase, folded them and put them in the wardrobe.

"Don't you have..." Eddie spoke quickly. He wanted to say that CLBT's dividends would make a lot of money every month. How could Sergey have no money to buy textbooks?

Joel reached out and gave him a hand to stop him from continuing.

"I have them here." He took out a handful of gold coins from his robe pocket and handed them to Sergei.

"23 galleons, I'll pay you back when I get my dividend next month." Sergey took the gold coins and counted the number.

After packing up their personal belongings, the four people in the dormitory finally found time to sit on chairs and chat about what they had learned during this time.

Although Sergey did not take the initiative to speak during the whole process, the other three people felt that this was what a dormitory should be like, and a different kind of warmth flowed quietly in the hearts of the four of them.

Joel saw the night completely set and the moon gradually rising. He glanced at the time and knew it was time to set off.

"Where are you going?" Eddie watched as he carried the heavy bag behind him and walked out the door.

"I have something to take care of," Joel said, "I'll be back later."

After saying that, he opened the dormitory door and walked out.

After leaving the common room, Joel knocked on his head, cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and then ran toward the Forbidden Forest under the cover of the darkness.

Following his memory, he found the tree he had marked before on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and the sky blue silk scarf was still hanging on the branch.

The branch that Joel wanted was located on the upper part of the trunk, and the height of the holly tree made it impossible for Joel to reach it on tiptoe.

Joel picked up a leaf on the ground and tapped it with his wand. The leaf gradually turned into a ladder in his hand.

Putting the ladder on the trunk of the tree, Joel climbed up quietly and successfully reached the branch he had chosen. He took out a folding knife from his backpack and got ready to work.
