Since the elves were not very skilled in brewing medicine, Rolf was unable to obtain the medicine porridge that healed the horses immediately.

What also bothers Rolf is that Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class is always difficult, especially today.

He regretted a little that he had already carved the spell model of Clear Water as a Spring.

If you had carved a model of Transfiguration, wouldn't you be invincible in Transfiguration class?

In fact, not only Rolf, but also the other young wizards also felt that the homework they learned last year seemed to have leaked out of their minds during the summer vacation.

Professor McGonagall continued last week's task of turning a beetle into a button, but it took them a long time to get the beetle to exercise, and the beetle ran around the table with its wand dodging, and they couldn't light it.

Hearing the lunch bell, Rolf and his roommates walked out of the classroom relieved, their brains like a wrung out sponge.

A few people went to the auditorium for lunch, and Hermione could be heard in the distance showing off the beetle she had managed to make.

"What's the afternoon class?" Roommate Justin asked, yawning.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts. Ernie flipped through the timetable he had tucked into the book, then looked up and replied.

After they finished their meal, they walked out into the cloudy courtyard, where Rolf could still see Hermione sitting there, reading Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire.

He also vaguely heard Ron ask her why Defence Against the Dark Arts class was painted with care.

Rolf was eager to remind Hermione that there was a big gap between what she knew about Lockhart and the real Lockhart.

But it may not be of much use to Hermione, who is in a frenzy, because people tend to be receptive to suggestions that are similar to their own ideas, and on the contrary, tend to be excluded, and Rolf is not bored.

A week after the start of the school year, the house began to recruit new members of the Quidditch team, and at Malfoy's constant instigation, Rolf also participated in the Quidditch selection.

As for Malfoy, he made his way into the Quidditch team in Slytherin early on through the Malfoy family's strong money skills.

"Rolf, you should join us in the tryouts so we can train with Harry. Malfoy whispered in Rolf's ear.

"Don't worry, Gryffindor won't be training with Slytherin for Quidditch!" Ron retorted as if he had been stepped on by a cat with his tail stepped on.

And Hermione on the other side, as a member of the cheerleading team, is very entangled in whether she should cheer for Ron or cheer for Rolf?

Together, they walked through the first-floor lobby, across the verdant meadows, and towards the Quidditch pitch.

The Quidditch pitch is already surrounded by young wizards from various houses, and Quidditch, as a national sport in the wizarding world, still has many supporters.

Several people squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the captains of their respective academies.

It is said that Ron had already greeted Fred and George in advance and asked them to sign him up.

On the face of it, the sport of Quidditch doesn't seem fair.

As long as the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch, his side will score the equivalent of 15 goals and end the match.

It's hard to compare with players in other positions, so Quidditch is often just a battle between two Seekers.

So why is it so popular? Do witches and wizards watch the ball just to appreciate the violent body collisions and fancy broomstick tricks?

Quidditch matches are like World Cups, and every Quidditch match is part of a larger series of matches and is not decided by a single match.

The total number of points scored will determine the final trophy.

The House Cup at Hogwarts is won by the house with the highest total score, not the team with the most wins, and Quidditch is just one of them.

We can see the table of the English League (DP) in the Daily Prophet, and they are also ranked according to the total number of points scored by each team, with the highest being the Tathill Tornado with 750 points and the lowest being the Chadley Artillery with only 230 points.

The table does not show how many games each team has won. Although we don't have any evidence of this, the Quidditch World Cup matches are certainly won in a similar way.

This meant that Bulgaria and Ireland were the top scorers in that year's Quidditch World Cup.

Although Krum caught the Golden Snitch, Ireland won the World Cup because the overall score was not ideal.

Therefore, although the Snitch is decisive in a match, it does not mean that catching the Snitch will lead to the final victory.

Rolf looked at the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, whose captain was none other than Cedric, who pulled Rolf to breakfast every day.

"Rolfe, I didn't expect you to come to Quidditch as well?" Cedric said in surprise as he looked at Rolfe as he approached, patted him on the shoulder.

"I thought you weren't interested in Quidditch. Cedric continued.

What he didn't know was that Rolf kept muttering in his mind: I wasn't really interested, but I couldn't stand Malfoy's whispering in his ear and in the owl's notebook.

He suddenly wondered if it was a mistake to research the owl notebook on his own.

Cedric saw that the people who were going to come to the selection were almost there, and he clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to his side.

"I'll start with the rules, it's very simple, do you see those magic rings in the sky? All you have to do is ride a broomstick through those magic rings in turn.

You can choose to use your own broomstick, and if you don't have one, you can come to me and get the Seven Stars for testing. ”

After Cedric finished speaking, he also pointed to the brooms that fell to the ground next to him, but looking at those worn-out brooms, no one thought that they could pass the assessment smoothly with them.

But there is another embarrassing problem, most of the little wizards who came to the test did not have their own broomsticks.

Some of them were Muggle-born, they didn't have enough gold galleons to store, and it was of no use for Gringotts to ask for Muggle currency, so every Muggle freshman had an exchange limit.

Of course, many half-blooded or even pure-blooded wizards don't have their own broomsticks.

A brand new broomstick is not cheap, and it is not something that ordinary wizard families can afford, such as such an expense, which is obviously not something that the Weasleys can afford.

Of course, you can also choose to buy those second-hand broomsticks, but these second-hand broomsticks do not have a quality guarantee, and after long-term use, the performance and safety will decline.

It's better to use such a broomstick for Quidditch than to use those old-fashioned broomsticks from Hogwarts.

At least the performance and safety of these brooms can still be guaranteed under the daily maintenance of Mrs. Hodge, the master broomstick.
