Chapter 48： Let's have a Quidditch

After getting the broom, Tom didn't have a long time to break in. He got the broom on Sunday, and next Saturday, Tom will play his first Quidditch match in his life. It's Ravenclaw. Against Hufflepuff. It will also be the first Quidditch match at Hogwarts this school year, with the second being Gryffindor and Slytherin next Saturday.

Ravenclaw Academy is considered to be dipped in the light of the competition arrangement. As long as it beats Hufflepuff, it can be at the top of the standings, and Slytherin and Gryffindor, no matter who wins, can only rank second.

However, although he didn't get used to the modified broom for a long time, Tom has been training with the Ravenclaw Quidditch team for a few weeks, and he has become proficient with the team. Captain Rich didn't take him as a secret weapon, just stopped others from seeing his training status.

Joining a Quidditch team in first year was shocking, but there was something even more shocking than him, and that was Harry. Tom's position is Chaser and Harry is Seeker, which draws most of the others' attention away from him. After all, two teams, one has introduced a talented mid laner, and the other has introduced a talented assistant, so it must be that the mid laner has received more attention.

Oliver Wood also wanted to use Harry as the "secret weapon" of the Gryffindor team, but the news could not be concealed at all. There were all kinds of news in the school, some people said that Harry played super well, and others People say that Gryffindor House has a mattress ready to run after him to prevent him from falling - Tom really couldn't hold back when he heard this, and it was true that he said that. A wizard? Muggles don't use this rescue method anymore!

What is the difference between falling from a height of fifty feet and falling on the ground and falling on a mattress? Please open "Standard Spells Beginner", turn to the "Floating Spell" page, and review it carefully.

To be honest, Quidditch training didn't affect his daily life much. Captain Rich was more Buddhist, and he just kept practicing every Wednesday. The amount of training was okay. Tom himself wasn't too worried about the homework left by the teacher. Not to mention Hermione's help, so life is still very regular.

But hearing that Gryffindor House was outrageous, Wood forced his players to practice Quidditch every minute. For example, if the training volume of the Gryffindor team is the level of LOL Korea, Ravenclaw is the proper European and American standard. So Harry's life was miserable, he had to find a way to do a lot of homework and train Quidditch. Tom had met him a few times in the auditorium, and he was quite haggard.

On Saturday morning, the weather was overcast and cold, and the mountains around the school looked gray, with the tops of the mountain covered with snow. The surface of the Black Lake was frozen, and the windows were frosted. The fireplace in the dining room was blazing brightly, and the church-sized auditorium was warm as spring, and there was an alluring smell of grilled sausages.

Whenever Tom looked at the cold world outside, he would think: If the little wizard of Hogwarts in the Middle Ages is the standard of living, then Hogwarts is probably a paradise in mythology, right?

Thinking about it carefully, the territories of the powerful countries in Europe, America and eastern Asia in modern society have already caught up with the Promised Land in the Bible, right? No matter how beautified in the Bible, it is nothing more than a "land flowing with milk and honey". Is this attractive to modern people? Milk and honey are no longer luxuries.

Tom gulps down sausage, ham, bacon, and toast.

"You should eat less, there will be a game later..." Hermione coaxed and persuaded.

Tom didn't want to either. Although something entered his mouth, it didn't enter his stomach! That bird snake is getting more and more edible. If it hadn't been able to change size freely, it would have been stuck in the tooth cavity.

So Tom could only eat three bowls with tears in his eyes. Seeing Roger and Qiu Zhang tsk on the side were amazed: It seems that the newcomers have a good mentality and eat so deliciously. Roger Davis is also the team's Chaser and the recognized successor to Alessandro Ricci, who is about to graduate. Qiu Zhang, the team's Seeker, was very handsome, about the same height as Tom, with long, waterfall-like black hair and a freckled nose.

But Tom also noticed something bad: if the bird and snake's appetite increased a little more, would it still be his turn to eat? And it's not a problem to keep it in your mouth all the time! The bird snake is not a Pixiu!

There are not many people in the auditorium now. Tom took advantage of everyone not paying attention, so he secretly brought an empty teapot and put a chicken wing in it. Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth, brought the mouth of the pot and his mouth together, and the bird and snake slipped out with a thud and got into the teapot. Tom quickly closed the lid and stuffed the teapot into his backpack.

From the expressions on Roger and Qiu Zhang, it can be seen that the game that will start in an hour has not brought them too much pressure. When Tom and Hermione walked out of the auditorium together, they met Harry and Ron, followed by Neville Longbottom. The three were seriously discussing something, and Tom overheard a conversation between the two of them.

"Snape still wouldn't give me the book back, but I saw him drugging at Filch's. His leg seemed to be bitten by some beast."

"Hey! Remember the day Malfoy tricked us into a duel? Maybe in the corridor on the fourth floor..."

"Go to Hagrid's place again... Harry... the big dog... Dumbledore... something from Gringotts..."

The three of Harry gradually moved away, and their conversation gradually faded away. Tom and Hermione exchanged glances. Tom saw that it looked like they weren't the only two who had strayed into that corridor.

Hermione had noticed before that there was a trapdoor under the big dog's feet but she didn't know what was hidden under the door, and now she got the key information: behind the door there was something hidden by Dumbledore .

"So why did Professor Snape break into that corridor? Could it have something to do with the trolls on Halloween?" Hermione began to think. Before, she couldn't make normal reasoning because of insufficient information. Now she can reason. Take care of the information at hand.

"Perhaps Professor Snape is testing the level strength for Dumbledore." Tom wanted to alleviate Snape's suspicions a little.

"Then why don't you go to the school hospital when you're injured?" Hermione still couldn't figure out the joints, "but it's true that Professor Snape, although not very nice, would never steal something that Dumbledore kept strictly collected. ."

In Hermione's eyes, every teacher is a good person, even Snape. Of course, as long as you take a few lessons from Snape, you won't have a good impression of him no matter how touching his story is.

"Okay, instead of thinking about this, it's better to be concerned about today's game," Tom changed the subject. "The Hufflepuff team is a soft persimmon, but we are not strong..."

The level of the Ravenclaw College Quidditch team is, at best, second-tier Hogwarts, at worst, the last Hogwarts. At present, Slytherin is the first in paper strength, followed by Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are at the bottom.

Hermione was really attracted by this topic, and she started chattering about analyzing the strength of the Hufflepuffs for Tom.

"...So in general, they have no strengths and no weaknesses. They are a very strong team. You have to cheer!" Until Tom walked to the team's locker room, Hermione was still analyzing the opponent for him, but she didn't I couldn't go in, so I could only wave goodbye to Tom with some reluctance: she felt like she hadn't finished speaking yet!
