Chapter 17: Happy Hour
After Darren and Ron had seen enough, Harry set off with his "Light Wheel 2000" on his shoulder, because according to Professor McGonagall's letter, at 7 o'clock in the evening, Oliver Wood would give Harry his first training session at the Quidditch Pitch, but it was not known how Harry had brought such a big guy over without anyone finding out, but Harry had already told Malfoy about the "Light Wheel 2000" As long as the Slytherin Captain Quidditch isn't stupid, you should be able to think of why, after all, no one in the Gryffindor Quidditch team has ever used this broomstick.

At this point, DalΓ suddenly remembered what Professor McGonagall had said in her letter, "I don't want everyone to know that you have a new broomstick, lest they all want it", who does this "they" refer to? At first, Darren didn't notice, thinking it was referring to the Quidditch team of the other houses, and Professor McGonagall broke up and used Harry as a trump card.
But now that I think about it, this obviously refers to the other members of Gryffindor, and listening to this meaning, this "Light Wheel 2000" was bought with Gryffindor's independent budget, isn't it just a small treasury of Chiguoguo!
No wonder the professors at Hogwarts are dead set on Dumbledore, and the welfare is good......
After Harry left, Ron was still immersed in the excitement brought by the "Halo 2000", and pulled Darren to talk endlessly, especially after discovering that Darren didn't know Quidditch at all, and simply began to explain Quidditch to him.
"The rules of Quidditch ball, first of all, I have to tell you about the ball in the Quidditch game, otherwise it is not easy to understand, there are three kinds of balls in the game, the first is the Quaffle, it has no magic at all, and it can only fly if it is caught in your hand. Ron said as he made a gesture to grab the ball.
"The second type of ball is more dangerous, called Bludger, and there are two of them in each game, and they are enchanted to fly automatically and hit people riding broomsticks in the air. β
Darren was still a little impressed by this, as Harry seemed to have been knocked off by this thing and broke his arm, so he nodded.
"The third type of ball, and the most important in Quidditch, is called the 'Snitch of Gold', and whoever catches the Snitch will win an additional 150 points, and the match of Quidditch will only end when the Snitch is caught. β
"Sounds a bit like the Sudden Death Act. β
"What is the 'Sudden Death Act'?"
"Nothing, a kind of rule in Muggle sports, you go on. β
"Next, there are the players who participate in the game, and each team has seven people on the field, three of whom are chasers, and they are responsible for passing the Quaffle to each other and passing it through a ring, and each time the Quaffle passes through a ring, you can score ten points, and each team has a total of three rings, and in order to prevent the opponent from scoring, there is also a goalkeeper. β
"Well, four people, and three more. Darren asked, although he also knew about the rules of Quidditch and was not interested in it at all, but experience had taught him that interaction with the other person could be effective in improving the quality of the conversation when talking.
"There are also two batsmen on each side to protect our players from Bludgers and hit them at opposing players, my brothers, Fred and George, who are Gryffindor batsmen. At this, Ron's face couldn't help but show a proud expression, and, "And my brother Charlie was also a Gryffindor Seeker before, and they all said that if Charlie hadn't gone to Romania to study dragons, he would definitely have been selected for the Quidditch national team." β
"Seeker?"
"By the way, there is also the 'Seeker', who is responsible for finding the 'Golden Snitch' just mentioned in the game, and is the most important member of the team, I really can't believe that Harry can become a Gryffindor Seeker, or when he was in the first year!"
"No way, who made him talented, but I think you're not bad, you called the broom so quickly, much better than me. β
"Do you mean a broom slapping me in the face?"
"Although the accuracy is a little worse, it is clear that your affinity for broomsticks is also very high, at least in our Gryffindor and Slytherin, it should be a little worse than Harry and Malfoy, if there is a vacancy in the Quidditch team of Gryffindor in the future, you should try it. β
"Do you really think so?" Ron looked at Darren with a gleam on his face.
"Of course, but I think you'll need to finish your Charms and History of Magic homework first, or you'll be kicked out of Hogwarts before a vacancy arises. β
ββ¦β¦ You can't make me happy a little longer. β
"By the way, what did you just say your brother was doing in Romania?"
"Study the dragon. β
"It must be exciting. β
"Perhaps, I haven't seen him in a long time, since he left. β
Before they knew it, time flew by, and it wasn't until Harry came back that they realized that it was so late, and looking at Harry's elated appearance, his training must have been very good, it was really a beautiful evening, especially for Darren and Harry, who had only a handful of such days in their previous lives.
After more than two months, Darren likes life at Hogwarts more and more, comfortable and comfortable, although there is the pressure of schoolwork, but this level of magical knowledge is really easy for Darren, even if he does not have Hermione's perverted memory, but he also has a specialty that Hermione can't reach, the ability to understand, and many times, the gains brought by this ability are leaps and bounds.
While others were still struggling to memorize the basics of spells, Darren had already begun to rummage through the library to find the system theory of spells, so that he could understand the operation of spells at a deeper level while mastering spells, even if he couldn't be as good as the half-blood prince Snape, and create spells like "Bladeless Shadows" by himself, at least he could find a suitable way to release them, so as to reduce the loss of magic power and spell casting time, for Darren, it was a little lazy!
Of course, the consequence of his own overstepping the curriculum was that the written grades of each subject were confusing, because those contents seemed too simple to him, so they were all thrown to Hermione to originalize, and then he could use them for reference.
At first, Hermione was extremely opposed to Darren's behavior, but after Darren "borrowed" it, put forward suggestions for revising her homework, and was praised by the professor, Hermione slowly got used to letting Darren "borrow" it, because she knew that Darren didn't know how to do it, but was just too lazy to do it, so that she could use the time spent simply looking through the materials to write these assignments to study what he was interested in, and the suggestions for revisions were also from these.
