Chapter 103 Rules and Loopholes
"Eagle Eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Hermione pondered for a moment, but still said this method, as for whether to use this method, everyone can continue to discuss, "I know that George has developed the Eagle Eye technique into a silent spell, and can also cast spells without a wand. ā
"If Harry can use his Eagle Eye on a broomstick, then catching the Golden Snitch will be a breeze. Ron reacted immediately, he had used the spell many times while watching the game, and he knew how powerful it would be in a Quidditch match.
"But then there's no point in playing. Harry's tone struggled a bit, he didn't want to lose to Malfoy, but if he cheated to play, the game didn't make sense.
Cheating, or losing, that's the question. The biggest problem is not unfairness, but what is more important. When the most powerful players rely on cheating to gain an advantage, the tournament also implicitly encourages cheating. At this time, should you rely on your strength to lose to cheating, or should you follow the rules and cheat?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all silent. In the end, it is time to cater to the world, do everything to win. Or do you just have to stick to your heart and rather lose? No one knows how to answer this question.
"Let's not think about it so much yet, let's ask George if there's any other way. In addition, it is not so easy to perform the Eagle Eye technique on the broom. Ron didn't know whether to cheat like Slytherin or lose in the open. But he didn't want to give up like that, he still wanted to save it, maybe George would have a way.
"Yes, let's ask George. Hermione didn't know how to decide, and she suggested a workable solution, but it was only a last resort.
"Let's go, let's go ask George. Harry was ready to go, he didn't want to make that decision, whether it was to cheat according to the rules or to lose openly, he didn't want to choose. In addition to that, there should be a chance to win above board.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione picked up the books they were going to return to the library and left the common room together. They went to the library first, returned the borrowed books, and then found George reading a book at the mutual aid club.
George was a little surprised by their intentions, "So, you're about to throw in the towel now?" George knew that Malfoy had made great progress during the summer, but he didn't expect him to behave well as soon as school started this year. Now he was interested in the fight between Malfoy and Harry.
"We didn't throw in the towel, but Slytherin were cheating, and the rules of Quidditch were simply encouraging cheating. Hermione looked at George angrily, and the more she understood the rules of Quidditch, the more she felt that Quidditch encouraged cheating.
George listened to Hermione's words, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "Your discovery is correct, Quidditch matches are a demonstration of wizards' strength and intelligence, and they really encourage cheating. ā
"Do they really encourage cheating?" Hermione was dumbfounded, and although she had come to this conclusion from reading the book, she was only angry and complaining when she said it. I didn't really think that wizards would encourage cheating, I just thought that wizards were unsophisticated and had too many loopholes in the rules, but I didn't expect George to say that Quidditch really encouraged cheating.
"How is that possible?" Ron couldn't believe it, he had always been an avid Quidditch fan, and he loved the perseverance of the Quidditch players. He liked the enthusiasm and competition of the Quidditch team, and George even said that Quidditch games encourage cheating, which made him not believe it.
"Why should cheating be encouraged in Quidditch?" Harry thought it was incredible, but he was a Quidditch player, and he faced Slytherin's Seven Wheels of Light 2001.
He knew his teammates were using a sweep of the Seven Stars, and he knew it was unfair to play like this, but the rules were never meant to solve those problems. The Quidditch rules he had been reading for the past few days had puzzled him, and he wanted to figure out what they were for.
"It's different from the athletics and sports of ordinary people. George looked at Harry, who was stunned, and slowly explained to them, "Wizards are born with magic, magic is a part of wizards' bodies, magic and wizards are inseparable, magic is the fundamental difference between wizards and ordinary people. ā
"You can't forbid any wizard from using his or her own magic in any match between wizards, just as you can't forbid ordinary people from using their own bodies in a match. George tried to make an analogy.
The body of ordinary people is dependent on ordinary people, and there is a huge difference in people's bodies. Some people are naturally beautiful, gifted, and intelligent. There are people who are physically strong and powerful. There are also people who are agile and have amazing speed.
A competition between ordinary people, whether it is a beauty pageant, a competition for appearance. Intelligence test, competition of intelligence. Athletic competition, physical confrontation. The game plays chess, brain calculations. All these competitions rely on people's bodies and physical talents, and no one will feel that these are unfair with the help of their own bodies.
Wizards, on the other hand, are born with magical powers, and magic is like the physical and mental talents of ordinary people. No tournament forbids wizards from using their magic.
"Broomsticks aren't magic. Hermione whispered with little confidence.
"Broomsticks are not magic, but broomsticks are tools for competitions. You can't ban people who are physically strong and have strong magic from participating in the competition, and naturally you can't prohibit the players from using better equipment and better props. George didn't mind Hermione's questioning, and continued to explain to her.
"If wizards also have a population of hundreds of millions, they may be divided into game levels like ordinary people, and the level of mana and item will be strictly limited. But it is clear that the current wizards do not need this at all, and the best they can show their strength and wisdom, including wealth, in the game are encouraged by the rules. At this point, George finally stopped.
"Will George join Ravenclaw's team?" Hermione thought to another question, she would rather the Quidditch title go to Ravenclaw than the team lost to Slytherin.
Harry and Ron were also overjoyed when they heard this idea, as long as they didn't lose to Slytherin and Malfoy, they looked at George expectantly.
George spread his hands and didn't care, "Like I just said, wizards will also divide their ranks like ordinary people if they have a population of hundreds of millions. ā
"Well, I kind of get it, Malfoy caught the hole in Quidditch that wasn't a loophole. And for you, the House's Quidditch level is too low, and the whole game is a hole for you. Hermione looked down for a moment, and roughly understood George's thoughts.
