Chapter 47: Substitutes are also glorious

A large smokeless torch rose from the corner of the Quidditch pitch, presumably a flame made of magic - a light that filled the pitch and made the six goals of the two long ends of the oval look like spoons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this side near the main castle, there were already a lot of people under the goal.

There were already a lot of people in the air who were shuttling back and forth on broomsticks, and their silver and green robes were blown up by the wind, and they looked like butterflies fluttering from a distance.

Vio sighed, feeling the broomstick in his hand getting heavier and heavier, and the handle seemed to be made of solid metal instead of wood.

A high whistle sounded around Vio.

"Little sister, are you here to participate in this too?" Xiao Luo came out of nowhere, excitedly grabbed Vio's sleeve and shook it, almost jumping up to give her a hug.

After Xiao Luo walked over, the light in front of Vio was blocked a little, as if someone had covered a corner of the torch with a black veil.

Vio looked behind him suspiciously, where Goyle and Crabbe were standing side by side, one holding a large ice cream in his hand. Seeing that Vio looked at them, he shrank back the ice cream in his hand.

"Little Sister, are you looking for Draco?" Xiao Luo leaned in with a wicked smile as he leaned over Vio, "You're in the wrong place, he's being tested in the sky." ”

Vio looked up and squinted, and after a moment of careful searching, he realized that he couldn't tell which one was Draco - everyone was wearing hoods to make it easier to distinguish between the players and the candidates, and Draco's trademark platinum-blond hair could no longer give Vio a hint.

"Ha, seeing that you haven't rolled your eyes for a long time, you don't know which one Draco is, do you?"

Vio was about to throw a knife over to threaten him, but he raised his hand to the side but found that Xiao Luo was standing between Goyle and Crabbe at some point, his hands hanging on their shoulders (not tall enough), looking at Vio proudly, as if to say: I already knew that you would do it if you couldn't say it, so you can try it again.

"・・・・・・" Vio admits that Xiao Luo has found the right backer.

"Forget it, let me tell you, the one with the fastest flight and the best maneuverability in turning is Draco. Xiao Luo gestured to the figure that passed through Vio's vision like a gust of wind.

On the other side of the court, a man rushed in Draco's direction, a red Quaffle under his arm - as he approached Draco, the man suddenly changed direction and threw the Quaffle at Draco, and the Quaffle spun at high speed, "swishing" through an arc like a red meteor.

Draco was concentrating on flying to the right at an even speed to avoid the two Bludgers (a type of ball used by friendly batsmen to interfere with the enemy) that were persistently chasing him, not even noticing what was happening behind him.

For a moment, Vio felt her heart rise to her throat, and she hesitated to raise her wand to stop the Quaffle before Draco would get hurt. But I don't think it's good to help him openly like this on a court that is lit by a giant torch like daylight, and cheating is easy to detect.

The Quaffle was almost a breath away from Draco—it had touched the corner of his robes.

At the last moment, Draco sped up.

As if sensing something, he jerked the broomstick handle down, and the whole person spun and fell downward, brushing shoulders with the Quaffle.

The Slytherin in attendance erupted in a violent cheer.

Pansy and a group of girls shouted Draco's name and cheered him on.

After a few more seconds, Draco landed firmly on the grass, and he walked towards Vio with his broomstick.

"That's pretty cool! I've got a new idol!" Laughlo jumped up to meet Draco, and Goyle and Crabbe followed, silly smiles on their faces, and didn't forget to lick the ice cream in their hands again - Vio guessed that might be their unique way of expressing happiness.

Marcus Flint, the captain of Slytherin's Quidditch team, stepped forward and patted Draco on the shoulder, laughing and announcing that he was the new Seeker.

What's the situation? That's how the Seeker was chosen?

Vio was stunned for a moment, looked down at the sports casual robe he had changed into, and then at the brand-new broom in his hand that exuded the scent of fresh pine, and his mood was very complicated.

Originally, she didn't really want to go to heaven, and she was worried that her performance would be very embarrassing.

But now Flint really didn't even give her a chance to go to heaven, completely ignoring her, and Vio felt very uncomfortable.

Wu Sheng is always conflicted.

"Miss Santriel?" Bailey patted her stunned vio and said with a smile, "It's time for you to play, my brother noticed that you are coming, let me come over and remind you." The take-off site is where he stands. ”

"?" Vio said, somewhat confused, "Isn't Draco already identified as the new Seeker?"

"Yes, each Quidditch team can have a few substitutes, please don't be discouraged, go ahead and try it, my brother is waiting for you." Bailey patiently enlightened Vio.

It turned out to be a substitute・・・・・・

With a twist of heart, Vio slung the broom to his shoulders and walked majestically towards where Flint was standing.

Bailey cheered her up from behind, "Miss Santriel, come on!"

Flint had stepped back from the crowd celebrating Draco and was standing in the center of a circular line about twenty feet in diameter.

He was very burly, and his bare complexion was a healthy wheat color.

Vio walked up to him, her eyes level only seeing the other person's Adam's apple, and she had to tilt her head to talk to him.

There seemed to be some doubts about Vio's ability to fly, and Flint didn't communicate much with her, only briefly telling her that she could become a substitute player as long as she passed two of the three tests.

"The first task requires you to complete three banana arc turns in a circle without touching the line - this is the basic skill;

"The second mission is to fly into the air and dodge a Bludger with the Woolangon 'Of' Flying Technique. Third, "Flint noticed Vio's expression.

His thick dark eyebrows were intertwined, and he said in a muffled voice, "You can try to complete these two tasks for the time being, don't worry, I have arranged for people to prepare the stretcher." ”

After listening to this, Vio deliberately looked at him carefully, and after making sure that he was in a well-intentioned "comfort", he couldn't help but cry in his heart - this kind of comfort is better not to say, isn't it?

She was about to say something, and finally asked when Flint was about to retreat twenty meters away to see her assessment: "I take the liberty of asking you, what is the 'Flight' of the 'Woo Langon' Flight-"

Flint shuddered and looked at her in disbelief, his eyes glaring as if he was going to eat someone.

At this time, a cool voice sounded, relieving VIO: "This is a zigzag flight method adopted in order to get rid of the opponent's chaser, which has been improved and promoted by the Australian Wollangong team. ”

"Draco, you're just in time - you explain・・・・・・" Flint grumbled to Draco. "・・・・・・ even if she were from the noble House of Santriel, there would be no way for my team to allow someone like this who knew nothing about Quidditch to come in.

"Unless, Professor Snape explicitly says that Slytherin House will withdraw from all future competition in the House Cup and Quidditch Cup!"

"No, it doesn't have to be. Massa, you don't want to trust me?" Draco looked proudly at Flint, who was more than twice as strong as him.

Although Flint was very strong with a big waist and a round waist, for some reason, in Vio's opinion, the slender and straight Draco overwhelmed Marcus in terms of momentum, and she was relieved to hear Draco's words.

It feels good to have someone come out.

Does this count as one of her golden fingers in another world?vio smiled.

Maybe she can't be the one to beat all the players, but she can try to be the one who influences the ability to do it.

Isn't the use of humanity and the human heart one of the most important lessons in Slytherin?

It would be nice to be Draco's substitute vio - anyway, it wasn't written in the book that Draco couldn't play in the game, but it did write a lot about Harry having an accident during the game.

In comparison, it is very safe to be a substitute for Draco and hardly have to play.

Flint looked at Draco, his eyebrows curled even tighter. "Draco, come over next Saturday to train. We'll try to come up with a new tactic tailored to you throughout the week!" Flint said, turning to leave.

After walking about ten meters, he finally turned around and shouted, "If you have to do this, you ・・・・・・ call her." ”

But before she could rejoice enough, Draco's cold voice rang out again, sounding like a magic voice from hell: "Uncle and Aunt should have told you that as soon as one of us is selected for the team, the Santrill and Malfoy families will sponsor each of the team a broomstick." ”

Vio nodded, though the Santrielles hadn't told her about it, but she remembered that the original Mr. Malfoy had bought the Slytherin team a copy of the latest Halo 2001.

"I've written to send an owl to deliver the order, but as a reward for helping you get into the team. All these costs should be borne by you.

"I'm sure you won't shirk it.

"Considering that it is a bit difficult for you to settle it all at once, the Malfoy family will pay for you first. You just need to pay it off within three months. ”

By this time, the flame of the torch on the court had slowly been extinguished, the stars in the night had become bright again, and Draco's smile seemed to be dotted with starlight.

It's a pity that VIO doesn't have time to appreciate this, she is thinking, one person and one light wheel 2001, how many gold gallons does this cost?

Instead of having to think about bargaining with Draco, she knew that she had only two options: not passing the assessment or buying the team's broomsticks.

"Of course, you'll get my personal free aeronautical instruction during this time. Draco saw that Vio didn't react to the price and added.

-- Sure enough, you can't just lie and make up reasons.

Vio felt her heart sink into her belly - why did she make up such a reason to Madame Santrill during the summer vacation?

Could it be that Professor Snape is telling the truth about the structure of the brain?
