Chapter 50: Quidditch Clashes
If you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are up to it, you will be covered by firepower.
In the battle of junior wizards, the number of spells that can be released is limited due to the total amount of magic power of the junior wizards, and many times the two sides of the duel are constantly moving, waiting for an opportunity to fight back. However, for adult wizards, especially elite wizards of the Ao Luo level, they are very good at mixing silent spells or non-battle spells in the casting process to achieve the effect of exhausting the opponent in a short period of time.
In a way, this is the magic version of the firepower coverage.
Of course, this does not include green-red pairs.
The protagonist is not in the regular category.
The preparation for the basilisk is basically enough, whether it is a precaution in advance or a chance battle, Ike has already prepared a draft in his heart. Although his main goal at first was to escape when he encountered the basilisk, after watching "The Cultivation of Dangerous Magical Creatures", Ike suddenly had an urge to find it on his own initiative.
Fortunately, Ike is sensible, after all, there is no certainty of victory, just think about it.
Soon a week passed.
From the second week onwards, the Quidditch teams of each house begin to select players. At times like these, the captain of the Ravenclaw team is most upset.
The Eaglets love to watch the game, but when it comes to getting them involved, most of them opt for tactical dodging, and in many cases Ravenclaw can only make sure that there are enough players on the court, plus one or two substitutes at most.
This year, this is even more pronounced.
Roger began to mobilize the eaglets for Quidditch on the night of September 1, giving speeches and putting up posters and flyers.
On the day of the selection, the eaglets did give Roger a lot of face, except for the seventh graders who were busy with graduation and finding a job, everyone else basically came to the Quidditch field.
However, only Stuart and Anthony actually participated in the selection, and the others were all in the fun.
Roger knew very well the level of the two, and the selection went through the motions directly, and easily agreed to the two's application to join the team. Stewart became the bench suitor, and Anthony was the bench hitter.
said that it was a substitute, but in fact, after the two participated in a few team exercises, they would replace the two original starters. Those were two fifth-year seniors, and OWLs were more important than Quidditch, at least for Ravenclaw students.
Ike sat on the edge of the court, watching Stewart and Anthony fly a few laps in the sky on a broomstick, and it was boring to see a few symbolic throws and then land.
Fortunately, it ended quickly, and in less than twenty minutes, I was ready to pack up my things and go back, handing over the venue to the next Gryffindor.
The team of the Cubs is very large, with 14 permanent players, and it is guaranteed that there are two or three substitutes for each position, except for the Seeker and the goalkeeper. After bidding farewell to the old captain Charlie Weasley and several players this year, the strength of the Gryffindor team has declined to a certain extent, in order to complete the defense of the title this year and maintain the suppression of the sworn enemy Slytherin, the little lions are actively involved, but there are more than a dozen people participating in the selection, and the scene is much more spectacular than Ravenclaw.
The Eaglet and the Lion Cub have a good relationship, similar to the Badgers, and even better than Hufflepuff when it comes to Quidditch. After all, Hufflepuff still has strength due to Cedric's existence, and I don't know how much better it is than a perennial rookie like Ravenclaw.
Gryffindor's captain Wood came over and hugged Roger warmly, and the players greeted each other with the eaglets, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Perhaps because of Wood's invitation, or perhaps to spy on the opponent's intelligence (only Roger thinks so), the eaglets did not choose to leave after the greetings, but all retreated to the sidelines and sat down, waiting for the lion cubs to perform.
If no one else left, Ike naturally won't leave. In addition to not letting yourself fall into the situation of being isolated last semester again, it is also because working with everyone can effectively reduce the probability of being attacked by a basilisk.
The eaglets chatted enthusiastically with the little lions who came to watch the selection outside the venue, and the selection in the venue was also in full swing.
Even if Ike hasn't seen a lot of Quidditch matches, he can still tell if a player is good or not. Compared to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw is a little worse at almost every position.
Needless to say, Harry, who helped the team win the game and win the championship at the end of the semester, is stronger than Cho, and the Weasley twins are more compatible than Ravenclaw's batsmen, and the gap in goalkeeping is even greater, and Wood is the best goalkeeper in Gryffindor in recent years, which is recognized by Slytherin.
After all, the little snakes would never admit that the lion is stronger than the snake.
The Gryffindor selection took a lot longer, and half an hour had passed and only half the test. According to the process of previous years, there will be a simple competition after the selection, which will be directly extended to two hours.
If all goes well, Ike can still see a high-level training match, but obviously, the game won't work.
Slytherin was keen on anything that could get Gryffindor in the way, even if it was a selection. More than a dozen little snakes holding the latest light wheel 2001 directly interrupted the selection of the little lions.
"Marcus, what are you doing here?" Wood called off the tryouts and led the team to confront the Slytherins, asking with an unkind expression.
"Quidditch selection, we have a professor's approval." Marcus Flint took Snape's stamp out of his robe and raised it at Wood, "From now on, the court is ours. ”
"Damn it!" Wood cursed in a low voice, "You're breaking the rules!" The selection has always been one academy after another! ”
"Don't get excited, Wood." Marcus smiled, "In fact, there has never been a school rule that says that Quidditch tryouts must wait until the previous house is over before the next house can begin, and the Quidditch court is so big, we can completely ...... one half"
Wood was about to say something when Marcus continued, "At this point, we have a big belly, even with the professor's approval. ”
After a pause, Marcus shook the light wheel 2001 in his hand: "Of course, I advise you to give up the venue, see?" New broomsticks! My team members need to familiarize themselves with the new equipment, and if something happens during the familiarization process, I won't be responsible. ”
"Halo 2001! How do you ......" As a veteran Quidditch fan, Wood recognized the latest broom at first glance, and his face was full of surprise. Marcus was pleased with Wood's performance, waved at the team behind him, and replied, "I think it's better for our new Seeker to answer this question for you." ”
"Hello, Potter!" Malfoy smiled and stood beside Marcus, "This is a gift from my dad to the team as a gift for me to become a Slytherin Seeker!" Potter, you're going to lose this year! ”
"Malfoy!" Malfoy's vicious expression pleased Malfoy, who looked at Gryffindor's gear maliciously and said, "Potter, are you in a hurry?" Don't get excited. Even if the Halo 2001 is better than your Halo 2000, and it is better to sweep the five-star street that is only suitable for sweeping, you don't want to make this look of eating people......"
"These are just my father's love for me, if you ...... Oh sorry, I forgot, your parents are dead! ”
"How dare you!" Ron didn't know when he rushed to the pitch, and he was so angry when he heard this, "You bad bastard!" How dare you say such a thing! ”
Ron drew his wand, pointed it at Malfoy viciously, and shouted, "Apologize to Harry!" ”
"Who are you scaring about? Weasley! Malfoy stepped forward, pointing to Ron's magic tape-wrapped wand and exclaimed, "You poor devil who can't even afford a new wand!" ”
"At least he won't need Dad to spend money to be on the team like you do!" Hermione, who was a little later, directly slammed back, "Gryffindor's team relies on their own ability!" ”
"There's no place for you to talk here, stinky little mudblood!" Malfoy glared at Hermione viciously, "You should be hiding in the library as a nerd with your little Ravenclaw boyfriend, this is not the place for you to come." ”
"What did you say!" The lion cubs were furious, and Wood and the twins immediately rushed over, and Marcus had to stand in front of him, despite the fact that he had secretly cursed Malfoy for being open-mouthed.
Harry didn't understand what "Mudblood" was, and Ron had already put his wand around Marcus, who was in his way: "Get out of the way!" He must pay the price today! ”
"You try! Weasley! Malfoy, who was guarded, shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Malfoy felt as if his body was being pulled by something, and flew uncontrollably to the side, pretending to overturn several Slytherin players, and fell to the ground hard.
Just as he was about to say something, his body floated up again, and Malfoy realized who was the initiator.
Looking at that cold face, Malfoy shuddered inexplicably.
"You...... What are you doing? Ike! ”
