Chapter 228: The End
Winter nights come very early, and at five o'clock in the evening, the sky quickly darkens.
However, there is something special about Hogwarts today, as the Quidditch pitch is still lit up, and Hogwarts professors light torches around the pitch to keep the game going.
In the stands, Albert tightened his thick cloak to withstand the rapidly falling temperatures of the night. Compared to Albert's situation, the other spectators around him were in an even worse situation, and they were already hungry before they had eaten lunch.
However, the spectators continued to sit in the stands to watch the Quidditch match with a passion that Albert could not understand, endure hunger and cold.
However, the audience was not the worst people on the scene, and the players who were still flying in the sky were already messy in the cold wind.
The wind was cold in the sky, and it was even colder at night, especially for the rookie players who were nervous in the morning and didn't eat much, because their little physical strength had long been drained by the cold, and now they were hungry, thirsty and cold.
Lee Jordan, the originally emotional commentator, has lost his initial passion at this moment, his voice has become hoarse because of the continuous commentary, and he has to use the loud voice magic to continue to persist with the help of Professor McGonagall, which is undoubtedly a severe test for Lee Jordan, who is commenting for the first time.
"Look, they've all spotted the Golden Snitch and caught up!" Lee Jordan shouted from the stands, "At the moment, the score between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw is 210-270, Ravenclaw is temporarily ahead, but the two sides have not completely opened up the gap, no matter who catches the Golden Snitch, it can bring victory to their team." ”
A battle for the Golden Snitch is raging above the pitch, and the Seekers on both sides can't wait to end the long game.
It couldn't be helped, it lasted for hours and all the players were already very tired.
"Both sides are accelerating their dive. Oh, it's going to hit the ground, oh my god, they're hitting the ground, hope they're okay. Lee Jordan shouted in horror. "Wait, oops, the Ravenclaw Seeker has caught the Golden Snitch. ”
No one cared what Lee Jordan had just said, because round after round of cheers had erupted on the court, and people were cheering for the victory.
Albert poured onto the pitch along with the rest of the Gryffindor crowd, and the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw players were already surrounding Charlie.
The two Seekers were in a bit of a bad situation, as they both fell and were eventually taken to the university hospital on a stretcher by Professor McGonagall, who arrived in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Charlie will be fine. Albert comforted the twin brothers softly, the two of them were not in a good condition, shivering from the cold wind above, and there seemed to be signs of losing their strength.
"Eat some candy first. Albert pulled out the candy and handed it to the twins, pulling out his wand to remove the dampness and chill from them.
"Thank you, thanks to you!" said Fred, a little tired, not refusing Albert's support, in fact, he was running out of strength.
"I didn't expect this game to last so long. ”
The four hurried back to the castle and sat down at a crowded table with a steaming bowl of corn soup before they had the heart to talk about anything else.
"I think you said it was going to be a long time. Lee Jordan was eating a piece of fried potatoes when he suddenly looked up at Albert and said.
"I didn't say anything like that, don't give me a black cauldron. Albert gave Lee Jordan an angry look, "I'm just asking them to eat more, so that they don't have the strength to play when they don't have the energy." ”
"The same meaning. Lee Jordan said.
"It turned out to be a loss. George's tone was a bit heavy, they had trained so hard and they still lost the game.
"Charlie has done his best. Albert said.
"I know he's just not very lucky. "Fred was a little frustrated, Ravenclaw won the game, it was just luck. At that time, the opposing Seeker and Charlie dived together, and neither side had any intention of slowing down, and when the fruit hit the ground, the opponent actually caught the Golden Snitch.
Speaking of luck, several people looked at Albert, this guy's luck is good enough, if ......
They didn't continue to think about it, there was no what if.
After eating, Albert and the Gryffindor players went to the school hospital to visit the injured Charlie, the captain who had been treated by Madam Pomfrey and was not in good condition and needed to stay overnight in the school hospital for observation.
However, Charlie is not alone, because there is someone with him, and the only regret is that it is not a girl, but a lucky Ravenclaw Seeker who is in the same condition as Charlie.
No sooner had they left the hospital than the four of them met Professor Smith in the hallway.
"Albert, I happened to have something to look for you. Professor Smith kindly beckoned Albert to his Defence Against the Dark Arts office.
"That's what I said last time. He handed Albert a piece of parchment, which contained what Albert had seen in the Room of Requirement today.
Sure enough, Professor Smith had been in there, too.
"This is the history of the creation of Hogwarts. Albert said after taking a moment to read the contents of the parchment.
"I know. Professor Smith nodded, "Do you think there's anything special about him?"
"Special?" Albert thought for a moment, "nothing special, it's a piece of history, similar to what I've seen in the library." ”
Professor Smith seemed a little disappointed, even though Albert got the same result as he did.
"If you have to say something strange...... Albert hesitated for a moment, but asked anyway, "Was the situation really bad for wizards in ancient times?"
Bad or not, Albert knew it in his heart, he was just diverting Professor Smith's attention.
"Not so good. Professor Smith explained, "At that time, the knowledge of magic was not summarized and summarized as much as we did, and wizards crossed the river by feeling the stones. Knowledge is so precious that a parchment book can be worth a barony's income for a year or more. At that time, many wizards did not have many types of magic, especially those from Muggles, who were in a very bad situation, they had no magical powers, and they could not do any formal magic. ”
Without a wand, and without knowing how to use magic, it is undoubtedly bad to have no magical power, Muggles are very afraid of this power, and once they find it, they will be regarded as monsters, and the end can be imagined, and people like Tom who explore on their own and use magic roughly.
"The four founders of Hogwarts are undoubtedly very great, and there are only a handful of wizards as powerful as them, and even fewer are willing to share their knowledge with others as selflessly as they do. Professor Smith sighed.
"I thought it was a prosperous age of magic. Albert muttered, "Those ancient and powerful magical ...... of Hogwarts"
"You're right, there were indeed a lot of magical and powerful magic in that era, and although there are still traces of those ancient magics, no one will use them until now...... Dumbledore may have known some ancient magic, but such cases are only a minority. Professor Smith frowned slightly, he was actually aware of some problems, but he couldn't figure out where they were for a moment.
