Chapter 35： coincidence

It was the first time Tom saw the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts. This pitch in the twilight, without the liveliness of the game day, looked deserted and somewhat gloomy. The field is oval in shape. The playing field is 500 feet long and 180 feet wide. There is a small circle with a diameter of two feet in the center of the field. Blurs, Quaffles, and Snitches will be released here during the game. At the ends of the long axis of the ellipse, there are three fifty-foot poles each with a ring at the top, which is the Quaffle's scoring zone. On the periphery of the stadium is the grandstand, which is divided into four areas according to the college and the podium for professors. The audience can sit on the top of the tower-shaped grandstand to have a panoramic view of the stadium.

[Mission: Leisurely in the world. Goal: Explore the magical world

Four stages of progress: 4/8 Hogwarts Quidditch pitch unlocked]

Sure enough, the Quidditch pitch can also be counted as an anchor. He found a place to sit down and waited quietly for the captain to arrive. After this week's class, Tom has been to many classrooms in the castle, but not any classroom can become a punching anchor. He has only found two new anchors this week, one is the Hogwarts Greenhouse and the other is the Astronomy Tower. One more location today: the stadium.

Tom waited for a while, but Captain Rich did not wait, but met an acquaintance: Harry, who had a relationship with him on the train before, came over with a broomstick. In the morning, half a dozen owls brought Harry a package that seemed to contain the broom. It can be seen that Harry is very happy and in a very anxious mood, he is walking fast, and he is still humming a ditty. But when he saw Tom, he was visibly startled.

"Why are you here?" ×2

"I'm here for a walk—" ×2

"What a coincidence..." ×2

Then the two fell silent.

Harry: "..."

Tom: "..."

Harry was surprised, and Tom was as surprised as he was. Tom knew that Harry was going to be entered into the Gryffindor Quidditch team in advance, but he didn't expect his entry test to be at 7 o'clock tonight!

This is a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, Harry's embarrassment is much higher than Tom's: he still has a handful of contraband in his hand! Freshmen are not allowed to hold brooms. At this time, Harry was very fortunate. The person he met tonight was Tom from Ravenclaw Academy. He had met Tom before. Harry felt that this person was much more normal than those in Slytherin, so he should not report it. I - of course, I am not afraid of being reported.

Seeing Tom's eyes on his broom, Harry forced a smile, "A friend gave it to me... I couldn't help but take it out and ride it."

"Then your friend is really rich. Nimbus 2000 is willing to give it away." Tom likes this kind of dead duck's mouth the most, and it's very interesting to tease.

Harry showed an embarrassed smile, "Ah, is this Nimbus 2000? I don't really understand... Well, anyway, can you keep it a secret for me?"

Fortunately, Tom didn't delve into it, he changed the subject, and Harry chatted with him casually.

……

Alessandro Ricci is in a good mood. Because their academy team is likely to bring in a talented newcomer.

Oliver Wood is in a good mood. Because their academy team will bring in a talented newcomer.

Today, Alessandro Ritchie will go to the Quidditch pitch to determine the suitable position for the newcomer, and today Oliver Wood will also go to the stadium to determine the suitable position for the newcomer. Ritchie made an appointment for seven o'clock in the evening, and Wood made an appointment for seven o'clock in the evening.

So the two met on the way to the stadium.

Ritchie and Wood looked at each other and fell into a dead silence. Finally, it was the thumping sound from the wooden crate between their armpits that broke the silence.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you going?"

"For a walk, I ate too much for dinner. Come out for a walk twice to digest it."

"Then why did you bring two brooms and a box?"

Richie slandered in his heart: Don't you bring a suitcase too?

Wood did not continue to struggle with this issue. The two looked at each other, and Rich coughed twice: "Did you make an appointment at the Quidditch pitch?" Since Rich took the initiative to tear the window paper, Wood would not Concealed again: "Yes, I have a date."

"It's a coincidence, I also have a date at the stadium."

Both of them already knew each other's purpose, and this conjecture was verified when they met Tom and Harry who were chatting awkwardly on the court.

The two captains fell into a brief silence, then looked at each other and smiled. Both Rich and Wood were relieved. They both knew each other's secrets, which was equivalent to neither of them. Moreover, although they have not read a divine book, they also know to find out who is their enemy and who is their friend. Is Ravenclaw a friend of Gryffindor? This issue is controversial but Ravenclaw is definitely not the enemy of Gryffindor, there is only one mortal enemy of Gryffindor.

From Wood's point of view, even if you add another strong general to Ravenclaw, it can't surpass the Gryffindor who has made up for the shortcomings, but it can also add obstacles to Slytherin, which is a good thing. And from Richie's point of view, he didn't lose anything in this matter - back ten thousand steps, didn't he get the precious information of Gryffindor?

So the two simply walked into the stadium together. Harry was stunned by the presence of the two, but Tom was not surprised. Wood explained the rules of Quidditch to Harry and Tom, and the four of them went to each end of the pitch to do their own tests.

Richie handed Tom an eighty percent new broom. "Take it, this broom is the Sweeping Seven Stars produced by the Sweeping Broom Company. It is the standard broom in our team. This broom is very cost-effective. Basically, if there is no special demand, everyone will use this broom to compete."

After speaking, Richie's mood was a little down. Just a glance at him and he recognized the model of the broom in Harry's hand - how could a team captain not recognize the famous Nimbus 2000? He also really wants to ride this broom!

"Unfortunately, it is impossible for Professor Flitwick to buy such a broom for his students. He does not have such a strong will to defeat the Slytherin team." Rich sighed in his heart, but he also heard a few rumors The reason why Professor McGonagall has such an obsession is because she was fouled by a Slytherin team member in a game that she participated in in the seventh grade that could decide the Quidditch Cup, and she broke several ribs and her head. Also had a concussion. Since then, it has been her life's wish to see the Slytherin team lose in Quidditch.
