"That'...... You take your time here, and we'll go out and fly for a while. Fred glanced at Albert's broomstick next to him and turned to leave the locker room with the others.

Albert picked up the book and broomstick and went to the audience, found a place, opened "Quidditch Origins" and read it carefully:

Quidditch takes its name from the place where it originated, Quidditch.

Albert's knowledge of Quidditch was only based on the simplest common sense, and the origin of the name seemed unexpected, but it was reasonable.

In the 11th century, the diary of Gettie Keddle, a witch who lived near the Quidray Marshe, described:

One day, a group of people were playing ball over the Quidie Moor on broomsticks, only to have the ball fall into the witch Gertie's vegetable patch and be confiscated by her.

The next day, the players did not give up, they made a new ball and began to throw the ball into the woods at the end of the swamp to score.

On the third day, the golfers brought two stones and flew them around the sky in an attempt to knock them off their broomsticks.

This is the original ghost ball, the scoring ring and the Bludger.

Albert reached out and gently flipped through another page:

In 1269, during a Quidditch match, the Speaker of the Council of Wizards, Barberu Breg, came to watch and told the players on the field that whoever caught the Golden Flying Man in the match would receive 150 Galleons.

At that time, the hunt for the Golden Flying Man was prevalent, and any wizard who caught the Golden Flying Man could become famous.

Since then, Ploy and Quidditch have been connected.

Later, Quidditch had a hunter who was responsible for catching the Golden Flying Man.

If any hunter can catch and kill the Flying Warriors, his team will be able to win 150 points to symbolize the 150 Galleons that Brenaud promised.

"150 Galleons in 1269? Albert muttered quietly. "No wonder, later caught the Golden Snitch can get 150 points. ”

However, it is not difficult for Albert to guess the fate of the Golden Flying Man.

Sure enough, in the mid-14th century, the Flying Warriors were in sharp decline due to Quidditch matches, and were considered a protected species by the Council of Wizards led by Elida Cragg.

Later, Bowman Wright, a metalsmith from Godric's Hollow, invented the Golden Snitcher. Eventually, the Snitch became a replacement for the Snitch and the sport of Quidditch continued.

Albert had seen the Golden Snitch, and it was hard to imagine that a wizard at the end of the fifteenth century could make such an elaborate Snitch.

Of course, since the Shock Absorbing Charm wasn't invented until the 19th century, Albert couldn't help but wonder how the Quidditch players before that had overcome the gloom of the balls and rode broomsticks to the game.

In the second half of Quidditch, there is also an introduction to the rules of the Quidditch game, and the one that caught Albert's attention the most was about the Golden Snitch.

With the exception of the Seeker, it is a foul for any player to touch or catch the Golden Snitch. In other words, there is no such thing as a player catching the Golden Snitch and handing it over to his own Seeker.

Only by catching the Golden Snitch will the game be over.

Of course, there is also the case that the game can also be ended with the consent of the captains of both teams.

It can be simply understood as one side admitting defeat.

In any kind of competition, conceding defeat is always allowed.

Albert continued to scroll down and found several interesting rules.

In Quidditch matches, no other player may be substituted in the event of a disability of the team, but the injured player is allowed to be treated and if the player is withdrawn, the team will continue to play after the injured player has been removed.

Well, that is, there are no substitutes?

Albert found another problem, that is, when the players could not be replaced, Charlie asked them to be the alternate?

"I see, is it really an alternate?" Albert couldn't help but smile wryly.

There are probably several members of the team who are graduating next year, so Charlie is busy looking for players who can replace them!

After all, if you make a selection next year, how can you start cultivating excellent players this year, and as long as you are going through a formality, you won't have to worry about others gossiping.

In the later stages of "Quidditch Origins", Albert really discovered that it was really possible to replace players during Quidditch matches. That is, for a few days of play, the team will be allowed to put substitutes on the field and replace the players to sleep.

This is the only case where substitution of an alternate player is allowed.

Then again, the audience is not crazy, how can it be possible to watch the game for days without sleeping?

In fact, Albert felt that a Quidditch match, once it was more than a day, had lost the meaning of continuing to play.

He continued to scroll down, and later in the rules, there were some foul shots:

For example, lighting the opponent's broom tail.

Use the stick to hit your opponent's broom. (Albert was sure that both Erin and Mark had done this.) ）

There are also the cases of deliberately hitting opponents or using elbows to bump opponents while flying. (Basically, all Quidditch players have done this except for the goalkeeper)

Grab your opponent's broomtail handle, slow them down or hinder their progress. (Malfoy used this trick on Potter.) ）

......

Of course, violating the above rules will only result in penalty kicks in most cases, and in severe cases, you will be banned.

In fact, Mark is the best example of this, and he does a lot of things to deliberately hit his opponent.

If he elbowed the opposing Seeker off the field, Albert felt that he would do the same, and in a way, he would have gained a huge advantage by having the ball down.

Albert maliciously thought: That three-month game, shouldn't this be how it came about!

With both sides taking the opponent's Seeker out of the field, no one catching the Golden Snitch and no one conceding defeat, the game naturally needs to continue.

Sensing that someone was left behind, Albert turned his head, and he saw that Charlie and his party had finished training.

Charlie asked, "Why didn't you practice flying?"

"Something seems to have gone wrong with the broom, and it trembles terribly. ”

"I guess it's too old, this batch of brooms in the school has been used for a long time, and there are more or less some problems. Charlie sighed lightly and beckoned to the few people who were still flying in the sky, "George, Fred, and a few of you, all come down and listen to the tactical analysis." ”

"Is the training over?" Fred and the others also landed one after another, and came to Charlie's side and asked.

"Not yet, I'll tell you about Quidditch tactics later, and you'll come and listen to it too. ”

"But we've heard it. ”

"Listened to you all summer long. ”

The twins looked at each other, one talking one by one.

"Shut up. ”

Angelina was very happy that Charlie could talk about tactics to a few people, so he didn't treat them as outsiders.

After putting the ghost ball and Bludger ball in the box, Charlie led a few people into the locker room. He stood in front of the blackboard and began to explain to the crowd the Quidditch tactics he had come up with during his summer vacation.
