Chapter 21 Visiting Quidditch Training

After comforting Hermione, the two read a book for a while, then said good night to each other and went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

At breakfast the next morning, Hermione sat next to Ryan gossiping for a while what the thing was.

It's either extraordinarily precious or extraordinarily dangerous, Hermione said of her analysis in bed last night.

Or both. Ryan swallowed the cereal in his mouth (still not used to bacon for breakfast, why do British people eat so greasy in the morning).

But in the absence of other information, not even knowing the size of the thing, such speculation is obviously futile.

...

For the next few days, Ryan resumed his usual daytime class, and spent the rest of the time either reading books with Hermione in the library. Or do homework with your classmates in the common room. It's just that the last night tour was too exciting, so he gave up the next few night tour plans.

During several walks, Ryan secretly poured the acid secreted by the tombstone moss into a corner of Hogwarts Castle's outer walls.

He found that the acid that would normally erode away a door-sized marble quickly had no effect on the stone walls of Hogwarts. In a previous life, someone analyzed that the news that every inch of Hogwarts has been applied with strong protective magic may be true. It seems that the Hogwarts castle itself is much deeper than the water in the novel. So now it's all about taking care of everything.

Until the time came to Wednesday of the next week, Ryan decided to go out of the castle for a walk.

In the Scottish Highlands, where Hogwarts is located, the sun is almost invisible as it approaches winter, and it often rains. Even though the house-elves were burning the fireplace vigorously, he still felt like mushrooms growing on his body after squatting in the castle all day studying.

So even after dinner, the sun has gone down. Lane still decided to go out of the castle to get some fresh air while the homework was finished.

After failing to invite Hermione to go out with me (I still have a bunch of information for the Transfiguration class to check, and I have to take an astronomy class at night.), and after receiving the contemptuous eyes from the real Xueba, Ryan could only shrug his shoulders and choose one person. Walk out of the castle.

Since it was Wednesday afternoon, he decided to go to the pitch to see the academy's Quidditch team practice.

After all, he has been in the magic world for so long, and he has never seen how the most popular sport in the magic world is played.

Coming to the stadium, you can find that the stadium is a huge building made of wood and colored cloth. There are three gold poles at each end of the stadium, with rings on the top. Like the little plastic sticks that kids use to blow soap bubbles, except they're each fifty feet tall.

Hundreds of chairs were placed high in the stands, and there were scattered students sitting there. Looking at the stands, Ryan caught sight of Ron's red hair.

As long as there are acquaintances, Ryan climbed into the stands and sat next to Ron.

Hey, why did you come out today? Ron asked strangely. Because Ryan organized everyone to discuss homework together in the common room, his popularity was not bad, and his relationship with Ron was okay.

I always have to go out for a walk, Ryan replied, and then he looked at the players flying around the field and asked Ron: I don't know anything about Quidditch. 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 younger sister underneath, and the school was overshadowed by Harry Potter's savior halo. Therefore, the heart is more eager for others to recognize him.

Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world. Ron cleared his throat and began. The rules of Quidditch are easy to understand, although not easy to play. There are seven players on each side, three of whom are called For the Chaser.

After speaking, Ron pointed to the players on the field vying for a football-sized bright red ball and said, Look, they are Chasers,

The ball in your hand is the Quaffle.

Then he pointed to the golden rings on the field and said to Ryan: The Chasers pass the Quaffle to each other and try to get it through any one of the three circles below. So you can score. Every time the Quaffle passes One ring and you can get ten points.

Of course, each team also has a goalkeeper, preventing the opponent's Chaser from putting the Quaffle into their own goal. Our goalkeeper is Captain Wood.

Three Chasers, one goalkeeper, what about the others?

Look, there are two flying balls in the air.

Ryan saw two black balls, slightly smaller than a basketball, flying around in the air, trying to knock everyone off the broom. However, the Weasley brothers held a stick similar to a baseball bat and kept hitting the ball elsewhere (as for how to see that it was the Weasley twins, the red hair was particularly conspicuous).

These two are Bludgers. They're flying around trying to knock players off their broomsticks. Ron puffed out his chest proudly: But my twin brother is the best hitter. , they will protect our players from being hit by the Bludgers. At the same time, they will hit the Bludgers at the opposing player.”

Ryan listened to the loud sound of the bat hitting the Bludgers, and asked worriedly, Does this thing really not kill people?

Ron scratched his head: At least not at Hogwarts, and the worst thing is to break the jaw.

This sounds quite dangerous, Ryan thought silently.

Finally, there's the Seeker. There's a golden ball with wings that's a little smaller than the Neville memory ball, called the Golden Snitch. It's going to fly very fast. The Seeker's job is Go back and forth between Chasers, Batters, Bludgers and Quaffles to catch it before the opposing Seeker. If any team's Seeker catches the Snitch, his team Winning an extra 150 points is almost a guaranteed win.

Watching the players flying around on the field, Ryan felt that the sport at least looked more exciting than basketball or football, and there was not much entertainment in the wizarding world. No wonder Quidditch has become popular in the wizarding world. The #1 sport on the index.

Seeing that Ryan seemed to be a little interested in Quidditch, Ron, holding the joy of Amway's success, began to introduce the origins of the players on the field to Ryan, interspersed with the famous Quidditch team and this sport. Historical little stories.

It seems that Ron is also a level person, but his brilliance is always obscured by the people around him.

Suddenly Ryan saw a thin figure flying across the field at high speed on a broom.

Is that Harry Potter?

Ron glanced in the direction of Ryan's fingers: Yeah, he's the new Seeker. Don't tell anyone this news. He's our team's secret weapon this year.

I think the other team may already know. Because I heard Harry and two Hufflepuffs discussing Harry when I went to the bathroom after class yesterday.

So what? Ron looked nervous.

It's alright, I listened to their discussions as if I didn't believe Harry could fly at all. Ryan said with a smile.

Time passed slowly in the conversation, and finally it was completely dark. Ryan and Ron waited until Harry got dressed and came out, then went back to the dormitory to get their textbooks and went to the astronomy tower for astronomy class.
