Chapter 23： Quidditch match

Chapter 23 Quidditch Competition

In a blink of an eye, it has been November, and the weather has become very cold. The mountains near the college are shrouded in gray mist, and the lake outside the castle is also frozen solidly.

Every morning, Hagrid can be seen wrapped in a long moleskin coat, thick leather gloves, and heavy leather boots, defrosting the flying broomsticks on the Quidditch court.

The Quidditch season has begun. After several weeks of training, Harry is finally going to participate in the first game of his life as a seeker for Gryffindor against Slytherin.

George, Ron, Hermione, all come to cheer Harry on today. They had never seen Harry's training before. Wood planned to make Harry the secret weapon of the Gryffindor team from the beginning, keeping the news of Harry's participation in the game strictly confidential.

But you can't expect a small college with real strict secrecy among teenagers.

A person quietly told his good friend and asked the other party to keep it strictly confidential.

The person who has been told tells his other good friend and asks him to keep it secret. Pass one by one, and soon everyone in the school knew that Harry was going to compete in Quidditch, and they all knew that Harry was playing very well.

So the only thing Wood can do is to strictly watch the gate of the training ground and prevent others from seeing Harry's actual training.

But even so, Harry’s first appearance is something everyone is looking forward to. It was also suggested that the school should bring a mattress and follow Harry's broom to prevent him from falling.

"This must be from Malfoy." Harry felt that this proposal was very bad, and it made him feel a little nervous.

"Yesterday Snape deliberately looked for something and found another excuse to deduct five points on me. I don't understand why Snape hates me so much." Harry was a little angry.

"Harry, you know, we can't get along well with everyone. There are some people who, no matter what, will hate you." George thought for a while, comforting Harry.

"It's like Malfoy." Ron gave a apt example.

"And Snape," Harry said, adding "Malfoy can't deduct points for me."

"But Snape won't lie to you in a duel, trying to kick you out of school." Hermione thought for a while and gave a good point.

"Oh, that's lucky." Listening to the comfort of his friends, Harry thought of Snape as Malfoy, and Harry finally felt better. At least Snape didn't plan to drive him out of the academy, otherwise it would be a great misfortune.

"I went to Snape yesterday to get Back to the Origin of Quidditch from him. I saw injuries on his leg and heard him complaining that he was bitten by a three-headed dog." That said, ha. Li lowered his voice.

"On Halloween, when we went to find Neville. He walked past us and went to the fourth floor, where the three-headed dog guarded him. He was bitten by the three-headed dog at that time."

Speaking of this, Harry paused, "I bet that he put the troll in at the time to distract the professors." Harry looked at George, wanting to hear George's opinion.

"Reasonable inference, but insufficient evidence." Harry's inference is reasonable, and George will not correct it for no reason.

"Why, I know he is not very good, but he will never steal things hidden in the school." Hermione's eyes widened, looking at Harry incredulously.

"Hermione, you can't always think that all teachers are good people."

Ron said unceremoniously, "I agree with Harry, and I also think Snape can do everything, just like Malfoy. The important thing is, what exactly is the three-headed dog on the fourth floor guarding? ?"

"Hermione, Harry's reasoning is reasonable, although Snape may not have actually stolen something." George paused, then continued, "I agree with Ron's words. Not all teachers are good. "

Watching George agree with his opinion, Ron gestured to Hermione with some pride.

Hermione looked at everyone not supporting her, she became a little angry and stopped talking.

"Harry, would you like something to eat? You're going to participate in the competition later." Ron realized that the atmosphere had become awkward and tried to change the subject.

"I'm not hungry." Harry felt that he was not in a good state. It was the first time he participated in a Quidditch competition, which was a heavy responsibility.

He was a little nervous at first, and when he met Snape, he didn't sleep well last night, and now he has no appetite. This makes him feel a little bad, he will go to the game in an hour, but he can't calm down now.

"Your condition is not very good, don't worry too much, think about that spell." George also saw that Harry's condition was not very good, but no one could help at this time. He thought about it and reminded Harry. One sentence. Hope that spell can help him.

"Okay, thank you." It was strange to say, when the spirit shifted to the spell, UU reading Harry felt that he was suddenly less nervous, and a little more confident for a while.

At eleven o'clock, the Quidditch stadium, at this time, the surrounding stands were crowded with people.

Many students also brought binoculars, and the seats have been raised in the air, but even so, it is sometimes difficult to see the game.

"It seems that I should teach Hermione and Ron Hawkeye." George looked around from the Ravenclaw stand. After all, it was a competition with flying broomsticks. It was not easy to see clearly.

But I thought I had seen in books that a Quidditch match lasted for several months at most.

If you can't catch the Golden Snitch, the game will go on forever. Thinking of this, George couldn't help but shudder, hoping that he would not encounter this situation, so he quickly added an eagle eye technique to himself.

Ron and Hermione are standing on the other side, in the highest row, next to Neville, Dean and Seamus.

Neville and the others seem to have become fans of Harry. They saw they dragged a huge banner drawn with sheets, which said "Potter will win". Underneath was a huge Gryffindor lion. , The painting is quite alike.

Hermione also took out the magic wand and tapped it on the banner, and the paint on the banner began to flash different lights.

After a while, the stadium began to cheer and became very lively.

It was Harry, Fred and others who walked out of the locker room one by one, walked to the court, and waved their hands at the crowd in the stands.

The atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and people cheered and waved to the players.
