Chapter 37 Quidditch Match

Wade didn't know that Professor Murray had placed great expectations on him just from a one-sided relationship. He was just happy that he was finally able to get professional guidance after studying alchemy as if he was groping in the dark.

After returning to the auditorium, the four long tables were empty, with only a few students who had slept in in the morning eating breakfast slowly. Today is Sunday, most students will not get up early, and the breakfast time has been extended by half an hour accordingly.

Vader casually took two sandwiches and saw West More, Ravenclaw's sixth-year boy prefect, at the end of the long table, so he walked over and sat next to him, "Good morning, West."

"Morning, Wade." West said lazily, "It's rare to see you sleeping in."

Wade leaned forward and got closer: "West, do you know who the alchemy professor in the school is?"

"Of course, it's Professor Terence Murray." West said, "I took his advanced class this year - why do you ask?"

"Because I am very interested in alchemy, I want to learn about it in advance." Wade did not mention his chance encounter in the morning, but asked: "Who is Professor Murray? When the freshmen were admitted, I didn't seem to hear anyone mentioned."

"Of course, Professor Murray is not in school at all times. It is impossible to see him whether it is the freshman orientation or the Halloween dinner." West said matter-of-factly: "He is a famous alchemist. It is said that the level of alchemy is second only to Of course, everyone agrees that Nick Flamel is the greatest alchemist of our time. There are at least five or six people who are called "Nick Flamel's second", but Professor Murray is not that. A person who pursues fame and reputation really has something.”

West suddenly came closer, lowered his voice and said yearningly: "Did you know? Professor Murray even has shares in the Nimbus Broomstick Company and Wizard Radio. He is a guest of the famous singer Celestina Warbeck, and also He has cooperated with the ministries of magic in various countries and participated in the reconstruction of at least three ministries of magic. This past Halloween, he participated in the Carcassonne Alchemy Symposium in France. Only the top alchemists received invitations. ”

"So for a busy person like him -" West returned to normal volume, "it would be great if he could spare time to teach us on time every week. It is impossible for him to live in the school like other professors, and he basically won't. Coming to the school auditorium for dinner is a very wise choice for you to start learning alchemy from now on. This way, you will definitely become famous when you officially study with Professor Murray in the sixth grade, and maybe you will be accepted as a real apprentice by him. Reach the sky in one step!”

"How can you reach the sky in one step?" West's friend Benson said suddenly. He appeared out of nowhere with messy hair and even unwashed toothpaste on his face. He casually grabbed a pie from the table, and without waiting for West's reply, he urged: "Hurry up, if you go late, you won't be able to get a good seat."

"Wait a minute!" West took out his wand and cast [Clean Up] on him, and then said: "Why are you so anxious? The game between Gryffindor and Slytherin only starts in half an hour! Besides, They are all flying in the air, aren’t they the same wherever they sit?”

"How can it be the same? If there are only seats left behind the pillars, we won't be able to see the wonderful scenes! And I don't want to sit with Slytherin..." Benson muttered, dragging West and striding towards the court. Walk.

West turned around and greeted: "Well, Vader, you'd better hurry up -"

Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled out of the auditorium.

Only then did Wade realize that the reason why there were so few people in the auditorium was not because many students were sleeping in, but because most of them went to the Quidditch pitch. He had experienced so many things from last night to now that he had completely forgotten that the first Quidditch match was today.

After Benson urged West to leave, the few students in the auditorium seemed to realize that time was running out, and they hurried out the door. Vader drank a glass of hot water that appeared in front of him out of thin air, and then walked to the Quidditch pitch.

Almost all the students from the school are here, and many of them are holding binoculars in order to see the game clearly. The stands were packed, and the seats were raised into the air one by one. Students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were mixed with Gryffindors, while Slytherins were huddled alone.

In the top row, the Gryffindor students hung a huge banner with the letters "Potter Must Win" flashing in different colors, and someone also drew a vivid lion on it.

Players from both teams filed out of the locker rooms, and students in the entire stadium were shouting and applauding. There were only a few hundred people, but they seemed to roar with the momentum of a stadium filled with thousands of people. The players were like NBA stars, accepting the acceptance of their respective colleges. of encouragement and cheer.

Wade climbed to the top of the stands first and quickly found his target - several professors who came to the stadium to watch the game, probably because they didn't want to be crowded with the students, they all gathered in the same area. Especially Professor Snape, who looks like a black crow, is easy to find.

So Vader soon saw Quirrell - he was very close to Professor Snape, with a big scarf wrapped around his head, and he was looking intently at Harry Potter who was riding on his broom, with a look on his pale face. She was blushing, as if she was also infected by the warm atmosphere of the scene.

With Madam Hooch's whistle, the players from both teams quickly flew into the sky and turned into small black dots in the blink of an eye. Almost all the students in the stands stood up subconsciously, looking up, trying to identify the players from both teams, and occasionally exclaiming as the battle progressed.

Wade squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, listening to the passionate commentary of Gryffindor student Lee Jordan: "Flint didn't score! Gryffindor goalkeeper Wood made a beautiful move to break the ball--"

As the players of the two teams attacked and defended back and forth, Wade had squeezed to the stand where the professors were, and then under the cover of the students on both sides, he quietly stretched out his wand, and then waved it quickly!

Quirrell was applauding Gryffindor's goal, smiling with the professors next to him, completely ignoring Snape's dark face not far away.

Just as he was secretly preparing to cast a spell on Harry Potter's broom, his body suddenly pounced out, rolling uncontrollably along the stands, and even knocked down several students.

It looked like Professor Quirrell accidentally fell down because he was too excited while watching the game.

Everyone helped them up, and saw Quirrell covering his nose with his hands, and two lines of blood were flowing down his nose.

"How are you, Professor Quirrell?" Professor Sprout asked with concern.

At the same time, Lee Jordan's ecstatic voice sounded--

"Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch! Gryffindor won by 170 points to 20 points! This is a great victory! Great Harry Potter! He defeated the Slytherin team in his first time as a seeker!"

Quirrell, with blood all over his face, turned his head suddenly and stared blankly at the Gryffindor team celebrating, completely forgetting to hide his suddenly ugly face. Fortunately, people were cheering and almost no one noticed his change in expression.

"Almost" because Professor Snape, who also had a livid face, was staring at him gloomily.

Behind Quirrell, separated by several walls of people, Wade quietly retracted his wand. He took a last look at Quirrell and returned to the castle with the excited students.
