Chapter 226: Gryffindor's New Chaser

Hogwarts, Dumbledore's office.

Lin Yang came to the door of the dean's office, knocked on the door, and vaguely heard what seemed to be a fierce noise inside the door.

When the door opened and Lin Yang was about to enter the Dean's office, Professor McGonagall walked out of the Dean's office with a red face in anger, and almost bumped into the unprepared Lin Yang.

Turning his head to look at Professor McGonagall who was walking away, Lin Yang blinked inexplicably, Professor McGonagall, who always emphasized the need to maintain elegance, what happened today?

Walking into the office, Lin Yang found that Dean Dumbledore was also sitting on the magic chair blowing his beard and staring, and he was angry.

"Uh, Dean Dumbledore, am I here at the wrong time?" Lin Yang asked cautiously.

"Ah, Lin, it's okay, please take a seat. It's just a trivia in the academy, and we won't mention it. Abbot Dumbledore beckoned Lin Yang to sit down, and then asked with a smile, "Lin, is there anything you have to do with coming over this time?" ”

"Lord Dumbledore, I have found a cure for my wife, so I took her away. I came here to thank you. Thank you so much for helping me and my wife some time ago, thank you, Head Dumbledore. With that, Lin Yang stood up and bowed deeply to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand, "Don't do that, Lin. Actually, I didn't help you husband and wife, and in the end, you have to solve the problem on your own. ”

Lin Yang stood up and said solemnly: "No, Dean Dumbledore, your help to our husband and wife, Lin Yang will never forget it." After that, as long as Dean Dumbledore has your orders, Lin Yang will go to the soup and die. ”

Dumbledore walked around the huge table in front of him and came to Lin Yang's side: "Lin, there is no need for this, there really is no need for this, anyway, you and your wife are both students of our academy, students are in trouble, how can I, as the headmaster, stand idly by?" Unless you don't recognize you as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”

Dumbledore's eyes lit up as he said this.

"Lin, speaking of which, there's something I want to ask you, have you mastered magic like flying? Or to put it another way, can you control a flying broomstick? Dumbledore stared at Lin Yang with an impatient expression.

When Lin Yang heard this question, he was a little confused. But if it was when he first came to Hogwarts, Lin Yang really couldn't fly, now, flying? Haha, that's a piece of cake.

"Lord Dumbledore, in terms of flying, I am not modest to say, I am still quite good."

"Haha, great, I'm worried about this. Lin, come with me, and we'll go meet Professor McGonagall. Dumbledore was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Lin Yang and walked out the door.

"Lord Dumbledore, can you tell me what's going on? Does I know how to fly has anything to do with Professor McGonagall? Lin Yang was pulled forward by Dumbledore in confusion.

"On the way, you come with me first." Dumbledore looked anxious.

On the way, Lin Yang listened to Dumbledore's explanation and finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that just yesterday evening, Gryffindor's third-year student Angelina. For unknown reasons, Johnson got close to the Dark Forest, the forbidden place of the Academy, and was attacked by unknown figures, and is still unconscious. Angelina, who is the main chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, was suddenly attacked, resulting in the Gryffindor Quidditch team having almost no way to participate in this year's Quidditch tournament. Professor McGonagall had come to Dumbledore just now to get Dumbledore to announce the postponement of this year's Quidditch tournament in order to thoroughly investigate the incident. Professor McGonagall suspected that someone had planned the attack in order to defeat Gryffindor in the Quidditch tournament.

However, Dumbledore did not agree to announce the postponement of this year's Quidditch tournament, because the academy has a clear rule that students are not allowed to approach the Dark Forest without permission, for fear of danger to students. And Angelina was close to the Dark Forest that led to the attack. That's why Professor McGonagall left Dumbledore's office in such a fit of rage.

Dean Dumbledore was also quite troubled by this matter, and just now Dumbledore suddenly thought that if Lin Yang could replace Angelina, then Professor McGonagall should not be so angry. That's why Dumbledore hurriedly dragged Lin Yang to Professor McGonagall.

Quidditch matches? Lin Yang's mind immediately flashed the scene of the Quidditch match in the movie "Harry Potter 1", and when he watched the movie, he was attracted by the scene of rapid flying and hovering up and down, and he wanted to participate in it in person. I didn't expect to have a chance to play this time. Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Yang's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard that Dumbledore had recommended Lin Yang to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and there had been no precedent for a first-year student to join the team for many years (Harry Potter in the film was the only exception in the 20th century), so she proposed to investigate Lin Yang.

Lin Yang pursed his lips slightly, I am afraid that no one in the entire Harry Potter world can fly faster than himself.

After coming to the practice court, looking at the players flying around on the field and practicing, Lin Yang was embarrassed to find that he did not have a flying broomstick.

With a confession, Lin Yang ran back to his room.

"McRae, can you simulate a flying broomstick?" Ever since Lin Yang put on the transformer steel cloak, McRae has always been in a state of activation.

"It's not difficult to simulate the shape of a flying broomstick, but it's difficult to simulate the flight principle of a flying broom." McRae replied quickly.

"As long as it has an appearance, my broom is going to breathe fire when it flies, and others can still take care of it?" Lin Yang smiled proudly.

When Lin Yang returned to the practice pitch with a strange-looking broom (which is actually a common Chinese broomstick, which is different from the West), Dumbledore and McGonagall were stunned.

"Lin, what are you taking?" Dumbledore pointed to the broom in Lin Yang's hand, and his beard trembled.

"This is our flying broomstick in the East. In terms of flight speed and ride comfort, it is much better than the 'Fire Crossbow Arrow'. Lin Yang boasted without blushing.

You must know that the maximum speed of the fire crossbow (that is, Harry Potter's flying broom in the movie) is only 150 miles per hour, which is counted as kilometers, that is, the speed is only 240 kilometers per hour, and Lin Yang's flying suit can easily fly to a speed of 2880 kilometers per hour. So, when Lin Yang rode the Oriental Flying Broomstick and made several consecutive sharp stops and changes direction during the high-speed flight, Professor McGonagall jumped on the spot excitedly, "Great, Lin is definitely a natural Quidditch player!" ”

Professor McGonagall then called the rest of the team to introduce them to their new teammate, Lin Yang, and asked them to help Lin Yang integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Lin Yang hesitated for a moment, but still suggested to Professor McGonagall, "There is another freshman in the first year, Harry. Graham Potter, he should be in the team as well. ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at Lin Yang and nodded, "Well, since there is a first-year freshman on the team, I don't care about adding another one. Since Lin you think Harry. Graham Potter can play well, so we'll have him in the team as well. ”

After a day of systematic study, Lin Yang realized that the Quidditch game was not as simple as the movie.

Quidditch is the most important sport in the wizarding world. It is a high-speed, dangerous and exciting sport in which two teams compete on broomsticks, each with a goalkeeper, three chasers, two batsmen, and a seeker.

As a ball game, the most peculiar thing about "Quidditch" is that it uses three different balls at the same time: a red ball the size of a soccer ball and more like an ordinary ball is the "Quaffle", and the chasers pass the "Quaffle" to each other and try to pass it through each other's rings, scoring 10 points each time, and the goalkeeper is responsible for guarding the rings of their team; Two black balls, slightly smaller than the "Quaffle", with aggressive surnames called "Bludger", will fly around on their own, always trying to knock the player off the broomstick, while the batsman is responsible for protecting his teammates from being hit by the "Bludger" and hitting it at the opposing player; A golden ball the size of a large hazelnut with silver wings is the "Golden Snitcher", which flies as fast as lightning, and it is the job of the Seeker to catch it. When the Golden Snitch is captured, the team that caught it receives 150 points, and a Quidditch match is over.

On the face of it, Quidditch scoring is unfair. Since the Seeker caught the Golden Snitch and scored the equivalent of 15 goals and ended the match, it was difficult for the other players to compare.

As a result, Quidditch is often just a contest between two Seekers. So why is it so popular? Not really. Quidditch matches are always played in series. Unless you're just playing around in the apple orchard, every Quidditch match is part of a larger series where the cumulative total score will determine the final victory. The Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts is won by the team with the most points in total, not the team with the most wins.

After Lin Yang learned the rules, he realized that if a team stretched the score difference to greater than 150 points, then even if the opponent's Seeker won the "Golden Snitcher", it would be useless. When I watched the movie at the time, I thought that which team won the "Golden Snitch" and which team won.

Since Lin Yang is the team that replaced Angelina's place, Lin Yang temporarily serves as the chaser in the team, that is, the equivalent of a striker in a football game, who needs to try his best to score as many points as possible on the field.

Lin Yang trained with the team for three days, and within these three days, all his teammates sincerely accepted Lin Yang to join. Because Lin Yang's performance on the training ground made them all extremely admired. Lin Yang secretly laughed secretly for a long time, because all the forward routes had been calculated by McRae, and Lin Yang only needed to throw the ball in front of the ring to complete the task.
