Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 50 Quidditch Conflict

If you are poor, you will intersperse tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

In the battle of junior wizards, limited by the total amount of magic power of the little wizard, the number of spells that can be released is limited. In many cases, both sides of the duel are constantly moving, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.But for adult wizards, especially the wizards of the elite Aoruo level, they are very good at mixing silent spells or spells without spells in the process of casting, so as to achieve the effect of exhausting the opponent in a short time.

In a way, this is the magic version of fire coverage.

Of course, the above concepts do not include green-red pairs.

The protagonist cheating does not belong to the conventional category.

The preparations for the basilisk are basically enough. Whether it is precautions in advance or occasional battles, Ike has already prepared a plan in his heart.Although his main purpose at the beginning was to escape when he encountered the basilisk, after watching "How to Raise Dangerous Magical Creatures", Ike suddenly had an urge to take the initiative to find it.

Fortunately, Ike is rational. After all, there is no certainty of victory, just thinking about it.

Soon a week will pass.

Starting from the second week, the Quidditch teams of each college began to select players.At times like this, the captain of the Ravenclaw team is the most irritable.

The Kitty Hawks like to watch the game, but if they really want to participate, most of them will choose to dodge tactically. In many cases, Ravenclaw can only guarantee enough players to play, adding at most one or two substitutes.

This year, it's even more apparent.

Roger started to mobilize the Kitty Eagles to participate in the Quidditch selection from the night of September [-]st. He made speeches and put up posters and leaflets. He put in a lot of effort.

On the day of the selection, the Kitty Eagles really showed Roger face. Except for the seventh graders who were busy with graduating and looking for jobs, everyone else basically came to the Quidditch pitch.

However, only Stewart and Anthony actually participated in the selection, and the others were all just for fun.

Roger knew the level of the two of them very well, so the selection went straight through the motions, and he easily agreed to their application for joining the team.Stewart became the backup pursuer and Anthony was the backup hitter.

Said to be a substitute, in fact, after the two participate in a few team training sessions, they will replace the two original starters.Those were two fifth-year seniors, and OWLs were more important than Quidditch, at least for Ravenclaw students.

Ike sat on the sidelines of the court, watching Stewart and Anthony ride a broom and fly a few laps in the sky, took a few symbolic shots and then fell down, feeling very bored.

Fortunately, it ended very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, I was ready to pack up and go back, and hand over the venue to Gryffindor who will be using it next.

The team of the little lions, which has been in the ranks of the championship all the year round, is very large. There are [-] permanent players. It is guaranteed that except for the seeker and the goalkeeper, there are two to three substitutes for each position.After bidding farewell to the old captain Charlie Weasley and several players this year, the strength of the Gryffindor team has declined to a certain extent. Participation, just a dozen or so people participated in the selection, and the scene was much more spectacular than Ravenclaw.

The eaglet has a good relationship with the lion cub, about the same as the badger cubs, and even better than Hufflepuff in Quidditch.After all, Hufflepuff still has strength due to the existence of Cedric, and it is not known how much stronger it is compared to Ravenclaw, who has been at the bottom of the year.

When Gryffindor's captain Wood came over, he gave Roger a warm hug. The players also greeted each other with the Kitty Hawks. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Maybe it was because of Wood's invitation, or maybe it was to spy on the opponent's intelligence (only Roger thinks so), after the greetings, the eaglets did not choose to leave, but all retreated to the sidelines and sat down, waiting for the little lions to perform.

No one else left, and Ike naturally wouldn't leave either.In addition to not letting myself fall into the situation of being isolated last semester again, it is also because working with everyone can effectively reduce the probability of being attacked by a basilisk.

The eaglets outside the court chatted enthusiastically with the lion cubs who came to watch the selection, and the selection inside the court was also in full swing.

Even though Ike hadn't watched too many Quidditch matches, it was still possible to tell whether a player was good or not.Compared with Gryffindor, Ravenclaw is a bit worse in almost every position.

Needless to say, the Seeker, Harry, who helped the team win the game as soon as he came on the field and won the championship at the end of the semester, is stronger than Cho, and the batter, the Weasley Twins, is also better than Ravenclaw. The more tacit the hands are, the greater the gap in the goalkeeper. Wood is the best goalkeeper in Gryffindor in recent years, which is recognized except for Slytherin.

After all, little snakes will never admit that lions are stronger than snakes.

The Gryffindor selection took a lot longer, half an hour passed and it was only half of the test.According to the process of the past years, there will be a simple confrontation after the selection, and this time will be directly stretched to two hours.

If all goes well, Ike can still see a high-level training game, but obviously, the game will not be watched.

Slytherin is keen on everything that can hinder Gryffindor, even if it is selection, he has to cross his feet.A dozen little snakes holding the latest Nimbus 2001 directly interrupted the selection of the little lions.

"Marcus, what are you doing here?" Wood stopped the selection, led the team to confront the Slytherins, and asked with a bad face.

"Quidditch selection, we have the professor's approval slip." Marcus Flint took out Snape's approval slip from his robe, and yelled at Wood, "From now on, the stadium is ours. gone."

"Damn it!" Wood cursed in a low voice, "You are breaking the rules! The selection has always been one college after another!"

"Don't get excited, Wood." Marcus smiled, "In fact, there has never been a school rule that says that the Quidditch selection must wait for the previous college to finish before the next college can start, and the Quidditch pitch is so big, we It can be half of one person..."

Just as Wood was about to say something, Marcus went on to say: "At this point, we are very big, even with the professor's approval note."

After a pause, Marcus shook the Nimbus 2001 in his hand: "Of course, I advise you to give up the field, see? New brooms! My team members must get familiar with the new equipment, if I will not be responsible for what happens during the familiarization process."

"Nimbus 2001! How do you..." As a veteran Quidditch fan, Wood recognized this latest broom at first sight, with surprise written all over his face.Satisfied with Wood's performance, Marcus waved to the team behind him, and replied, "I think it's better for our new Seeker to answer this question for you."

"Hello, Potter!" Malfoy smiled wryly, and stood beside Marcus, "My dad gave it to the team as a gift from me becoming a Slytherin Seeker! Potter, you are doomed to lose this year!"

"Malfoy!" Harry's ferocious expression satisfied Malfoy. He looked at Gryffindor's equipment maliciously and said, "Potter, are you in a hurry? Don't get excited. Even if Nimbus 2001 Your Nimbus 2000 is even better, and you can throw out those only suitable for sweeping the five-star street, and you don't want to eat people like this..."

"These are just my father's love for me, if you... oh sorry, I forgot, your parents are dead!"

"How dare you!" Ron rushed into the stadium at some point, and was furious when he heard this sentence, "You bad bastard! How dare you say such a thing!"

Ron pulled out his wand, pointed at Malfoy viciously, and shouted angrily, "Apologize to Harry!"

"Who are you scaring? Weasley!" Malfoy stepped forward, pointing at Ron's wand wrapped in magic tape, and shouted, "You're a poor man who can't even afford a new wand!"

"At least he won't need Dad to spend money to join the team like you!" Hermione, who was a step behind, directly snapped back, "The Gryffindor team relies on its own ability!"

"You don't have a place to talk here, you smelly little Mudblood!" Malfoy stared at Hermione viciously, "You should hide in the library with your little Ravenclaw boyfriend and be a nerd, not here where you can come."

"What did you say!" The lion cubs were very angry, and Wood and the twins rushed over immediately. Although Marcus secretly scolded Malfoy for his unrestrained speech, he had to stand in front of him.

Harry still doesn't understand what a "Mudblood" is, and Ron has already passed his wand around Marcus who is blocking him: "Get out of the way! He must pay the price today!"

"Try it! Weasley!" Malfoy, who was protected by someone, yelled loudly, not giving an inch.

As soon as the words fell, Malfoy felt as if his body was being pulled by something, he flew to the side uncontrollably, pretended to overturn several Slytherin players, and fell hard to the ground.

Just as he was about to say something, his body floated up again, and it was only then that Malfoy discovered who the instigator was.

Looking at that frosty face, Malfoy shuddered inexplicably.

"You... what are you going to do? Ike!"
