Chapter 21 - Visit Quidditch training
After comforting Hermione, the two read the book for a while, and then said good night to each other and went back to their bedrooms to sleep.
When he had breakfast the next morning, Hermione was sitting next to Lane and gossiping about it for a while.
“It’s either extremely precious or dangerous.” Hermione said the results of her analysis in bed last night.
“Or both are occupied.” Ryan swallowed the oatmeal in his mouth (still bacon not used to breakfast, why do British people eat so greasy in the morning).
However, without other information, and even without knowing the size of the thing, this guess is obviously futile.
……
In the next few days, Ryan regained the normal daytime class mode. For the rest of the time, he or she would read books in the library with Hermione. Either complete the homework in the common room with the students. It was just that the excitement of the last night tour was too great, so he gave up the plans for the next few night tours.
In several walks, Lane secretly poured the acid secreted by the tombstone moss into a corner of the outer wall of Hogwarts Castle.
He found that the acid that would quickly corrode a door-sized marble had no effect on the Hogwarts stone wall. In the previous life, it was possible that the news that every inch of Hogwarts land was encased with strong protective magic may be true. It seems that Hogwarts Castle itself is much deeper than the water in the novel. Therefore, everything is still the highest priority.
Until the time came to the next Wednesday, Ryan decided to go out of the castle.
In the Scottish Highlands where Hogwarts is located, it is almost impossible to see the sun as it approaches winter, and it often rains. Even if the house elves burned the fireplace very well, he still felt that mushrooms were growing on him when he squatted in the castle all day to study.
So even after dinner, the sun has gone down. Ryan decided to go out of the castle to breathe the fresh air while his homework had been completed.
After inviting Hermione to go out together failed (I still have a bunch of materials for the metamorphosis class to check, and also have an astronomy class at night.), And after gaining a look despised from Zhen. Xueba, Ryan can only shrug and choose one Go out of the castle.
Because it was Wednesday afternoon, he decided to go to the stadium to see the training of the college’s Quidditch team.
After all, he has been in the magic world for so long. He has never seen how to play the most popular sports in the magic world.
When he came to the course, he found that the course was a huge building made of wood and colorful cloth. There were three gold poles at each end of the course, with a ring on top. Like little plastic sticks for children to blow soap bubbles, but they are each fifty feet tall.
Hundreds of chairs were placed high in the stands of a circle, and there were scattered students sitting there. Looking at the stands, Ryan saw Ron’s red hair at a glance.
Just get acquaintances, Ryan climbed up to the stands and sat next to Ron.
“Hey, how did you come out today?” Ron asked a bit strangely. Because Ryan organized everyone to discuss homework together in the common room, the popularity is not bad, and the relationship with Ron is OK.
“Always come out and walk around,” Ryan replied, and then he looked at the players flying around the court and asked Ron: “I don’t know Quidditch at all. Can you tell me Say? “
Ron looked a little excited, because he was always ignored. After all, he was the youngest son in the family, but there was a sister underneath, and the school was covered by the halo of Harry Potter’s savior. Therefore, I hope that others will recognize him.
“Quidge is the most popular sport in the wizarding world.” Ron cleared his throat and began to say: “The rules of the Quidditch ball are easy to understand, although it is not easy to play. Seven people on each side, three of them are called For the chaser. “
Finally, Ron pointed to the players who were fighting for a bright red ball the size of a football on the court and said, “Look, they are chasers, and the ball in their hands is a ghost fly.”
Then he pointed to the golden circles on the field and said to Ryan: “The chasers pass each other the flying balls, trying to pass them through any of the three rings below, so that they can score. Every time the flying **** pass A circle can get ten points. “
“Of course, each team also has a goalkeeper, preventing the opponent’s chaser from throwing the ghost ball into his goal. The goalkeeper in our courtyard is Captain Wood.”
“Three chaser, one goalkeeper, what about the others?”
“Look, there are two **** that can fly in the air.”
Lane saw two black **** slightly smaller than the basketball flying in the air, trying to hit everyone on the broom. But the Weasley brothers took a bat similar to a baseball bat and continually hit the ball elsewhere (as for how to see the Weasley twins, red hair is particularly conspicuous).
“These two are roaming balls. They flew around and wanted to knock the golfers off the broom.” Ron lowered his chest proudly: “But my twin brother is the best hitter. , They will protect our team members from being hit by roaming balls. At the same time, hit the roaming ball towards the opponent team members. “
Lane listened to the loud sound of the bat when he hit the roaming ball, and asked with some worry: “Is this thing really going to kill people?”
Ron scratched his head: “At least not at Hogwarts, the worst thing is to smash the chin.”
It sounds dangerous, Lane thought silently.
“Finally, it’s time to find the golfer. There will be a golden ball with wings smaller than the Neville memory ball in the official game ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ is called the Golden Snitch. It flies very fast. The job of the golfer is to shuttle back and forth between the chaser, the batter, the roaming ball and the ghost ball, and catch it before the opponent finds the golfer. If the team ’s golfer catches the gold Spyster, his team can win an extra 150 points, which is almost a stable win. “
Watching the players on the field fly around, Ryan feels that this sport looks at least more exciting than basketball or football, and there is not much entertainment in the wizarding world. No wonder Quidditch will become popular in the entire wizarding world The index ranks first in sports.
Seeing Ryan seemed interested in Quidditch, Ron, holding the joy of Amway’s success, began to continually introduce Ryan to the history of the players on the court, with the famous Quidditch team and this sport interspersed in the middle. History story.
It seems that Ron is also a level person, except that his luster has always been obscured by those around him.
Suddenly Ryan saw a thin figure, flying across the field on a broom at high speed.
“Is that Harry Potter?”
Ron looked at the direction of Ryan’s finger: “Yeah, he is the new looking player. You can tell others about this news. This year he is our team’s secret weapon.”
“I think other teams may already know. Because I was in the toilet yesterday after class, I heard two Hufflepuffs discussing Harry.”
“What should I do?” Ron looked nervous.
“It’s okay, I listened to their discussion as if I didn’t believe that Harry could fly at all.” Lane said with a smile.
The time passed slowly during the conversation, and the last day was completely dark. Ryan and Ron waited for Harry to change his clothes and went back to the dormitory to get the textbook and went to the Astronomy Tower for astronomy class.
