Chapter 27: The Quidditch Match

After Halloween, the time enters November, and the weather is getting very cold. The mountains surrounding Hogwarts School were white and covered in snow and ice. Maybe it's because of his ability, Li Lin feels that this kind of scenery is quite fascinating.

The lake in front of the main fort is covered with a thick layer of ice, which is very hard. It's just a hoe and a chisel, and you can't chisel it. Every morning, there is frost on the ground.

Li Lin had recently found a free time, and he took Hermione with him to the Room of Requirement to practice spells. Hermione looked surprised at the Room of Requirement.

When it comes to spells, Hermione is also practicing, and Li Lin found a thick stack of books from the library, mainly about the Transfiguration Charm. Hermione was already trying to practice it, but why she wanted to learn the spell, she didn't ask, and even had a feeling of enjoying it.

Although the weather is cold, the atmosphere of the school is more lively. One reason is that the exam dates are gradually moving forward, and the other is that the Quidditch season has begun.

For this game, or the entire wizarding world, the only major sporting event that has been passed down to this day. Li Lin, this person who can't even use a flying broomstick, doesn't want to evaluate.

There is a match on Saturday, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. If Li Lin was to be asked, he didn't like either.

However, there was a bonus point in Quidditch, and if Lighterin had won the match, they would have overtaken Ravenclaw in the House Cup to become number one. As for Gryffindor, well, it won, it's just going from fourth to third, it doesn't make much sense.

Ever since Hermione learned about the bonus points for Quidditch matches, she began to read a copy of Quidditch Origins, and judging by her appearance, it seemed that she was planning to join the Ravenclaw House team. I don't plan to let go of any house points.

Li Lin had no interest in this, and Hermione knew that he couldn't use a broomstick, so she never discussed these things with Li Lin.

Hermione now likes to check Li Lin's homework, mainly because of when Hermione writes her homework. Li Lin has always been by her side, but what he writes is a novel manuscript. So Hermione doubted the quality and level of Li Lin's work.

After each inspection, he would help Li Lin pick out many mistakes, and Li Lin only needed to write down the mistakes, go back to his dormitory, and use the automatic writing pen. This has greatly improved the evaluation of his homework in various subjects.

He was very grateful and very embarrassed about it. Because Hermione is the one who really works hard and hard.

Finally, it's time for Quidditch.

Hermione used her magic to conjure up two handfuls of bright blue flames, and Li Lin took out two transparent glass jars from his leather pocket and stuffed the flames inside. Fit it in Hermione's pocket, it's for heating.

Li Lin admired Hermione's magic level very much, anyway, he couldn't use anything with his wand, but he could consider changing the wand to a longer wooden stick, and then inlaid it with alchemy items, no other effects were needed, just the ability to cast flashes.

Another bottle, Hermione held it in her hand, Li Lin's clothes pocket was already filled with leather bags, and it was obvious that she couldn't stuff anything into it, so Hermione took it in her hand and leaned on Li Lin's side as much as possible.

In fact, Li Lin is not afraid of cold, in fact, he no longer has the concept of cold, minus 5 degrees and minus 20 degrees belong to the normal temperature state in his perception.

But Li Lin didn't say anything, and he wasn't stupid. He and Hermione had come to the dining room together, and Hermione had already figured out a way, she found a rope, strung the glass bottle, and hung it around Li Lin's neck like a necklace.

The smell of grilled sausages filled the dining room, and Li Lin had planned to go to the kitchen to teach the house-elves how to cook Chinese food. But when he went to the kitchen, there were as many as hundreds of elves, and the kind of respectful appearance and the act of rushing up and carrying the food made Li Lin involuntarily eat a big meal, and actually forgot to get down to business. Later, it was gone, so let's change the taste.

Li Lin smeared two slices of toast with a thick sauce, sandwiched sausages in between, and watched the crowd in the restaurant.

Everyone was looking forward to a good Quidditch match, and they were chatting happily.

Today's class has been cancelled and there is enough time for all teachers and students in the school.

By eleven o'clock, the stands around the Quidditch pitch were packed, and in terms of numbers, the whole school had arrived.

Many students also brought binoculars. There were even some unorderly students who raised their seats to the air, which could easily block the view of others, Li Lin angrily condemned, he couldn't cast a levitation charm, so he had to go to the highest row with Hermione. It's relatively better here, and you can still see the game with a telescope.

The people around were all pulling banners, which looked like Gryffindors', and looked to the other side, and sure enough, it was a Slytherin banner.

The two academies have always been-for-tat and distinct, which is not something that can be accumulated in seven years.

At this time, the stadium instantly erupted in bursts of cheers. Li Lin moved the binoculars, and sure enough, the Gryffindor team in the red jersey and the Slytherin team in the green jersey appeared.

They all have broomsticks in their hands, and the front end is the kind that looks like a brush no matter how you look at it.

Mrs. Hodge is the referee. At this time, she stood majestically in the middle of the court, holding her broomstick in her hand, waiting for the players from both sides to approach.

Then Mrs. Hodge was talking to them, and then blew her silver whistle vigorously.

In an instant, fifteen flying broomsticks rose from the ground and rose high into the sky. The race is on.

"The Quaffle was immediately snatched by Gryffindor's Angelina Johnson - what a great chaser that girl was, and she was still very charming—"

The narrator was frantically praising Gryffindor, and just by listening to that tone, he knew that he was a student of Gryffindor House.

Li Lin felt that in a competition between houses like this, students from third-party or fourth-party houses should be used as commentators, otherwise, it would be very easy to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, which would be unfair to Slytherin.

However, Slytherin students don't care about this unfairness, and regard pure-bloods as honor, so they are born pure-bloods, it is unfair.

Taking his attention away from the commentator, Li Lin looked at the arena with a telescope, but it was difficult, if you stared at one of the people moving, you would ignore the excitement of other places, especially if there was more than one ball here.

So while Li Lin's telescope was still following Harry Potter and looking for the Golden Snitch, Gryffindor's first goal had already been scored.

The cheers of the Gryffindors echoed in the cold sky, and the Slytherins, who had always been cold and proud of themselves, were also moved by the atmosphere of the scene, and they collectively roared to express their displeasure.

Li Lin's attention quickly shifted, and he watched as the team members flew in the air or somersaulted, making all sorts of tactical moves. There is still a faint envy in my heart.

This strengthened his determination to buy a magic carpet or a flying skateboard.

Suddenly, the audience screamed. Li Lin's gaze shifted to Harry Potter. Sure enough, he was diving downward.

Li Lin adjusted the magnification of the telescope and saw a golden streamer.

The Slytherin Seekers flew over as well. Stand side by side with Harry Potter. The entire arena was banned, the spectators were holding their breath, and even the players of the two teams who were fighting fiercely stopped their offensive or defense, and they hovered in the air. Let's see who can catch the Golden Snitch.

The Slytherin Seeker deliberately rammed Harry Potter, an act that prevented either of them from catching the Golden Snitch. And this action instantly aroused the anger of many viewers at the scene.

It's no wonder that Slytherin's popularity has been so poor over the years. It's really getting more and more incompetent, and I can only do these conspiracy methods. However, it may also be that the changes brought by Li Lin have put a lot of pressure on them, you must know that they have been the first in the academy for several years in a row, and now they are actually pressed under Ravenclaw. For the sake of the score of the Academy Cup, I really don't even want to lose face.

The Gryffindors reacted most violently, shouting loudly.

Li Lin lowered the telescope, he adjusted the telescope to the vicinity of Snape and Quirrell, of course, he didn't dare to peep directly, but pretended to sweep it inadvertently.

Soon, just as Harry Potter dodged a fast-wearing Bludger, his broomstick suddenly shook in fright.

When he hasn't stabilized, the jitter comes again. It was as if the broomstick was desperately trying to throw him down.

Have you started casting spells? Thinking so, Li Lin swept the telescope and spotted Ron and Neville in the stands, but it was clear that the two men had not noticed anything abnormal, and the time continued for a while, when the entire people in the stands were all pointing upwards.

Harry Potter's broomstick has begun to tumble and roll non-stop, which is obviously very abnormal, and even more thrilling is the broomstick, throwing Harry Potter off its body, leaving him with one hand to hold the broom.

"Oh my God! What's going on? Is there something wrong with the broomstick? Hermione lowered her binoculars, and she asked anxiously.

Li Lin shook his head.

"If the broomstick fails, it won't be like this, someone should be using black magic."

"What?! Black magic! But here are the schools. ”

Hermione was in disbelief, but then, she thought for a moment.

"Could it be someone from Slytherin? I mean, they're trying to win the Academy Cup. ”

Li Lin looked at Hermione in surprise, Hermione's angle is really sharp, who is profitable, who is suspicious. Li Lin pretended to be thinking. And then said.

"Unlikely, this kind of dark magic is powerful, not like a student can do it, if they have such ability, for the sake of the House Cup, they should not attack Harry Potter on Quidditch, but we should attack Ravenclaw."

Hermione nodded in agreement, but confusion ensued.

"So, who could it be?"

Li Lin took off the glass bottle from his neck to keep warm, and inside, the flame conjured by Hermione's magic had not yet been extinguished.
