There are seven people on the Quidditch field, one Seeker, two Basers, three Chasers, and a goalkeeper, but that doesn't mean there are only seven people on Gryffindor's house.

Given that there have been many injuries left in previous games against Slytherin, Gryffindor had plenty of substitutes to form a team on their own.

After careful consideration, and after listening to Harry's advice, Neville eventually became a goalkeeper on the bench, in fact, Wood's replacement.

Considering that Wood goes to the infirmary almost once a school year, Neville is also guaranteed to play at least once a year, which is already rare.

The main seven players of the Gryffindor team, Harry has no one to press him on the bench unless he can't play, the twin brothers either all of them are substitutes or all starts, or they will be blind to their tacit understanding, and the chaser position is not suitable for Neville, because he is slightly clumsy and not flexible enough on the broomstick, so only the goalkeeper is suitable for him.

This is what Wood said, in fact, the most suitable position for Neville is the batsman and chaser, the former he has already shown Xiàn, the Bludger in a supersonic state, the effect is not much worse than a cannonball. And the latter, referring to the way rugby is played, as long as the ball is given to Neville, the real man does not operate, and it is enough to go all the way.

However, Neville didn't appear in the most lethal position, and he became a goalkeeper.

Don't think about how decent Wood is, if it weren't for Gryffindor winning the House Cup last year, he would definitely not hesitate to train Neville to [kill you 3000] this year. But now, Wood is in the sixth year, and he won't be bothering much on Quidditch next year because he has to prepare for exams, so a suitable receiver is a must.

When he fell asleep, someone sent him a pillow, and although Wood didn't show it on his face, he was very happy in his heart.

"You will train with us in the future, and this year's champion will definitely be ours!"

"Uh, does training take up a lot of time?"

Compared to the scenery after joining the Quidditch team, Neville was more concerned about whether the training that Wood said would take too much time and affect his studies. Diligence can make up for shortcomings, and Neville relied on this to not fall behind.

"No, how could it be. ”

Wood smiled and shook his head, looking innocent, like the profiteers in Diagon Alley who could sell snaketooth powder for dragon's tooth price.

Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes, he had asked the same question as Neville last year, and then Wood had the same answer, and as for whether this answer was credible or not, Harry wouldn't believe it anymore anyway.

At the beginning, Wood was going to give the players a tactical lesson first, and he spent most of this summer in this area, so he felt that it was not that difficult to defend the title this year.

However, it took some time to test Neville, and then some do's and don'ts, and by the time they got back to the locker room to meet the others, there was already a lot of snoring, and everyone was staggering and almost asleep.

"Hey, wake up!"

Wood knocked on the door with his bat, it was loud and noisy, but it didn't work, the men slept separately.

The only people who needed to train today were the main seven, Fred and George, Neville was already familiar with him, the one leaning against the wall was fourth-year Arya Spinnet, and opposite her were Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson, all three of whom were chasers.

It should be said that Wood really still values Neville very much, otherwise there is no need for a substitute goalkeeper to train with everyone so diligently, and there is nothing for goalkeepers to train, as long as they are brave enough.

It took a while to wake everyone up, and Wood was finally able to start his tactical training, and he said energetically: "Okay, before I get on the court, I want to say a few words, I spent a summer designing a new training program, and if we can do it, this year's championship will still be our ......"

"Bang bang. ”

Neville was the only one clapping, and the scene was a little awkward, and the others still didn't look awake, but Wood was used to it.

He held up a large diagram of a Quidditch pitch with colourful lines, arrows, and crosses. He took out his wand and pointed it at the board, and the arrows wriggled like caterpillars on the board.

"First of all, I've developed a tactic that ......" Wood began to explain his new tactic, and Fred snorted as his head fell to Arya's shoulder.

One of the things Neville noticed at this time was that although he tried hard to listen, Wood's tactics were so high-end and esoteric that he only understood one-sixth of them, which was the first half of the first board, for a total of three boards.

"That's all. After explaining his tactical design, Wood looked around and asked, "Is that clear? What's the problem?"

Neville was tempted to raise his hand and say that there was a problem, and that it was a big problem, but George, who had just woken up, said something that hurt Wood.

"Well, why don't you tell us when we're all awake?"

If Wood had been small-minded, he would have been angry a few years ago, but he knew that it was useless to say more, and he had to go out and practice.

"Training begins!"

Wood shouted, grabbed his broom, and led the way out of the locker room, his men yawning and dragging their numb legs behind.

Neville discovers one thing, and that is that he doesn't have a broomstick of his own, or that Wood has forgotten about it.

"Oh, today just for you to come over and feel the atmosphere, you can rest below. ”

It's okay, Neville and Wood talk to him about going back to the castle to take a shower and change into dry clothes.

By this time, the sun had already risen high, but there was still some residual fog floating on the stadium's lawn. Ron and Hermione were sitting in the stands, and Neville went over to say hello to them.

"I'm a goalkeeper substitute for the academy team now. Neville said.

It should be said that this incident is indeed a surprise enough, and it can be seen that Ron is very envious of Neville, although he is only a substitute, but when Wood graduates, Neville will be a proper starter, and there is no competitive pressure.

In fact, Wood actually had three substitutes in the past, but seeing that Wood had to go to the infirmary for a week almost every school year, they either dropped out of the team or switched places.

After chatting for a while, just as Neville was about to go back, the Slytherin students appeared on the Quidditch pitch, all with broomsticks in their hands.

Neville felt that he didn't need to rush to leave now, as he saw Malfoy among them.
