The Flint family didn't have a good time. The same is true of the Nott family, although they are not short of money, but they don't have much money to spare.

So whether it's Flint or Noether, although they both have the idea of changing equipment for the academy team, they don't have the spare money......

With that in mind, Luke looked at Malfoy, who was following Flint like a bug.

The Malfoy family can become the bull's ear of this generation of nobles, in addition to the three families such as Gaunt who are silent, the most important thing is that they have money and know how to make money.

Although the means are not very clever, it can make money after all.

Of course, it's not that everyone can't afford to change equipment, it's just that they don't think there's a need to waste this piece of money.

You know, in the original book, even Professor McGonagall only gave Harry a new broom, although there was a reason for Harry's identity. But the price of the Halo 2000 is also an important reason.

These things can be regarded as luxuries.

Not to mention the firebolts Harry had received from Sirius. It was no different from a Muggle sports car. It's not something that ordinary people can afford.

The ones that can be deployed on a large scale are the ones that are professional Quidditch teams.

Even some professional Quidditch teams don't necessarily have many. Because the production of fire ballista arrows is very low, let alone the supreme fire ballista arrows later.

Luke has inquired about the price of the Halo 2000. I have to say that it is indeed expensive, but it is not so expensive that it is unacceptable. Of course it's for Luke.

In today's training match, no one can tell how many people are staring, how much thinking, and how many plans there are. Everyone has their own position.

When Gemma heard Luke's words, she knew that she must have been thinking a little less yesterday. But she is not annoyed, after all, it is impossible to be all-encompassing if she is a human being. Just like when the ancient peasants imagined the emperor, they could only think of the golden hoe and eating the scallion pancake one by one.

Gemma admits that she doesn't know the lives of the nobles, let alone the real situation of the nobles.

So there are some things that you have to learn slowly.

"Here we go."

Taylor opened his mouth coldly.

And the people at the training ground did not move. Gemma was a little confused, but before she could say anything, Flint blew the whistle on the other side. Some of the students who heard the whistle returned to the stands on broomsticks with regretful faces, and looked at the field not far away, where their friends were gearing up for a big fight.

Others looked nervous. They are sure that each other is very strong, and they are also very difficult opponents to deal with. And this confrontation game may not be without the replacement of new and old players.

There was also a person who was just playing the ball quietly, with a radius of 5 meters around his body, and no one approached.

After all, Slytherin's Quidditch team is a meritocracy, and the capable are up and the mediocre are down. This is also the place where Slytherin does not look at bloodlines.

"Nott, let's lead a team for each of us."

With a fierce smile on his face and his burly figure, Flint looked like a monster.

Noether glanced at him and smiled coldly, "Okay, 'Captain'." ”

He accentuated the word 'captain', without the slightest respect, and with suspicion and sarcasm in it. Flint wasn't annoyed, just sneered back.

Flipping the coin, Flint gets the right to pick someone first. He glanced at the crowd and saw the repulsive or eager looks in the eyes of the players. Eventually, he met a pair of eyes full of pride and anticipation.

"Draco, you come with me."

Flint was the first to order, and the rookie Malfoy was leaving.

Malfoy was overjoyed, and Flint's face was as if he had eaten a fly. He couldn't do it better.

Malfoy had a smug smile on his face, but he quickly relented, took control of the broomstick with a serious face, and flew to Marcus's side.

"I knew you'd keep your word, Captain."

Malfoy whispered to Flint's side. Flint didn't bother to pay attention to him, just watched in silence at Noether's choice.

He chose the useless Malfoy, because it was his promise to Malfoy that he would help him if he could call Luke. Of course, there was also a factor in his father's letter saying that he should properly befriend the young master of the Malfoy family.

But it's a lot to say now. It's just a match. It's not an official game against that bastard from Wood. He didn't pay that much attention to winning or losing.

It's better to lose. Teach this idiot a lesson, don't think of yourself as a genius all day long.

Who can enter the school team is not a genius teenager anymore. As far as what Malfoy showed on the training ground, he was much worse than his own contemporaries.

Noether didn't show any sarcasm. He knew very well that this young master of the Malfoy family was supposed to spend his student life in the flattery of everyone.

If it weren't for Gaunt's birth......

If he had chosen first, he would have chosen Malfoy, because he needed this Malfoy family's gratitude more than Flint.

He's almost graduating.

"Morton Leitch."

He spoke up and chose his first team member.

Morton Leitch, who had a fierce face, was shocked for a moment, but immediately showed a smile that could be called 'hideous'.

Flint, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong.

He's always been unhappy with Gryffindor's new captain, Oliver Wood.

At first, he thought that everyone was the descendants of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Families, and even if they couldn't get along with each other, they wouldn't be hostile to each other. But after all, he still underestimated the contradictions caused by personality incompatibility.

Compared to Flint, who played 'furious', Noether's style was more like that of a traditional Slytherin, calm and ruthless. It is said that in their grandfather's generation, this style of play was made.

This is also where Flint is most dissatisfied with Noether. Holding the style and skills passed down from his grandfather, coupled with his strong personal strength, it really makes him invincible to play.

But now new technologies are emerging all the time, and tactical thinking is diverse. It is absolutely impossible to hold on to the defects for long.

That's why he's the captain, not Noether.

And his first choice, Morton Leitch, is a different person from both of them.

He did not join the official ranks. He is very strong, but from the first grade to the current seventh grade, he is only a member of the waiting list. Or rather...... Senior sparring partner.

It's just that everyone rarely looks for him as a sparring partner. He will always be there silently alone. It looks like it's out of contention.

But actually...... It's just that no one wants to play with him.

After that, a few people were selected, until a team of seven people, a total of 14 people, all were selected. The rest of the other candidates flew towards the stands with some regret and frustration.

In the things you like, you can't get the approval of others. This is undoubtedly quite a painful thing.

Flint glanced at his chosen team member, and finally nodded in satisfaction. Although it is said that Malfoy is such a laggard, the overall combination can still satisfy him.

Don't think that picking people is unlearned. There is often a tacit understanding between two people who have a good relationship, and when choosing people, there are problems of how to split, how to combine, and how to alleviate contradictions. These are all things that a captain has to consider.

He gave a satisfactory answer.

Then he looked at Nott on the other side. Nott's choice is also more reasonable, but when facing his own design, he is obviously not enough, and the lineup is not as good as himself.

So Flint was quite complacent.

But when he actually saw the group of people around Nott. He froze. Then you immediately looked at the group of people behind her. His face instantly became ugly.

Noether's face was as usual, unchanged. And the team members behind him, most of them frowned, looking at Morton Leitch, there was no lack of vigilance and even hostility in their eyes.

Morton Reich, on the other hand, looked at the people around him and glared angrily at Noether.

The spectators in the stands felt the tension. For a while, I was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

And Gemma's expression is not good. When she was choosing people on both sides, her face began to become ugly little by little.

"What is Oliver Knott going to do? It's okay to engage in a confrontation between the noble team and the commoner team. Add Morton Reich to that? Wouldn't it be okay to put him on the other side? ”

Gemma looked puzzled, Morton Leitch, a guy from a normal pure-blood family, but who agreed with the pure-blood theory to a kind of crazy level. Gemma has no doubt that if this guy had been born more than ten years earlier, he would definitely become a die-hard supporter of Voldemort.

A mania for power, a mania for power, a mania for blood.

He was simply a born Death Eater.

He was ruthless with his half-breed classmates and mudbloods.

And now, Oliver Knott ......

"To make sure that the conflict will happen."

Luke spoke calmly.

Both Gemma and Taylor looked at him. Luke gave Nott a deep look, and then looked at the ill-looking Morton Leitch.

"Morton Reich is on the other side, and if Marcus really has the ability to keep him at bay, the plan will fall through. You can't count on the cooperation of the other party to make plans. ”

And putting him by his side, and matching him with such a bunch of teammates, provoked his emotions, and also ensured that even if the conflict did not arise between their two teams, it could also arise in his own team. The initiative is in Noether's hands. ”

Luke yawned, shook his head, and said, "It's just that the restrictions are a bit big, and Nott's relationships in the Quidditch team have suffered, and if he is not close to graduation, doing this kind of thing is obviously suffering for himself." ”

In fact, such a strategy is not profound, and Gemma was only stunned for a moment before he reacted.

After being tapped by Luke, she also understood, and then took a deep look at Nott, who had already begun to prepare for the game in the distance.

It looks like she's still underestimating this Oliver Knott.

At this time, the game has already begun on the court.

Seeing the man on the other side rushing towards them with the ball, Malfoy immediately wanted to go forward. But he was stopped by Flint's outstretched hand.

"Your mission is to find the Golden Snitch."

With that, Flint himself rushed towards Noether, who was holding the ball.

The speed is fast, the momentum is fierce, and there is a sense of fighting for the life of the beast.

Malfoy looked at his back and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then began to look at the six roads and listen to all directions, thinking about finding the Golden Snitch as soon as possible.

I saw Flint rushing towards him. Noether didn't panic at all, and passed the ball to another player very calmly, and he flew upward.

When the ball was passed, Flint naturally changed his target and continued to rush forward in the direction of the opponent, while Flint's teammates started blocking from the other direction.

And just as the man with the ball was about to rise to avoid it, he saw a Bludger flying from a high place in the corner of his eye.

Even though the batsman rushed over and hit the Bludger, his movement was blocked.

He could only quickly change direction.

But Flint was waiting for him there, and his face was not very good-looking, but at this time there was a little bit of the brilliance of a wise man.

Just when the ball didn't know where to go, behind Marcus, Noether appeared.

He was overjoyed and raised his hand to throw the ball out of his hand.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt that the ball in his hand had been slapped off.

As soon as he turned around, the third chaser on the Flint team didn't know where he was.

Just as the ball fell, Flint's second chaser dived down and chased it towards it.

Knott gave his team a disappointed look and shouted, "Hitter concentrate!" Don't let the Bludgers come by! ”

The batsman knew that the biggest problem this time was with him. I could only answer loudly, and then concentrate and go to the defense with my friends.

The fight here was in full swing, but the people in the stands didn't feel any excitement.

Without him, everyone is quite busy.

But there were two people on the field who seemed to be outsiders.

One is Malfoy, who is riding a broomstick and slowly looking for the shadow of the Golden Snitch everywhere. It's not that Seekers can't be involved in defensive or offensive missions. It's that now Malfoy gets the ball and gives the opposite side a chance to break the ball.

His words are better than still.

The other is the sixth chaser on both teams who did not appear in the battle just now.

Morton Leitch.

"I was obviously by my side just now, but I didn't pass the ball to him alive or dead?"

Taylor, a girl who doesn't like Quidditch very much, couldn't help but frown. Although she doesn't know much about Quidditch tactics. But it is clear that throwing down a main teammate is not something that can be explained by combat strategy.

Luke didn't respond, but was groping his chin in thought.

Gemma shook her head helplessly.

"There's going to be a conflict."
