After listening to Professor Binns's words, everyone was a little alarmed.

In fact, neither the Ministry of Magic nor Hogwarts took the Death Eaters as a terrorist organization seriously, and did not think that they had the strength or the courage to start a war.

"The war has begun, but our priority remains to protect the children in the schools. The rest is left to the Ministry of Magic. ”

Looking at the brooding professors, Dumbledore said.

"At the same time, it's also the best time for us to develop."

He continued.

Under Dumbledore's chairmanship, the future was set. During the war, Hogwarts could only be used as a support, and would not abandon its duties to help the Ministry of Magic against the Death Eaters.

】

In the end, everyone left the conference room one after another with a lot of concern.

In the next few days of class, all the little wizards were obedient, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the professors were not in a very good mood.

Of course, not everyone is so calm, and there are still some students who are mischievous in class, which soothes the spirits of the professors.

Soon, something will happen that will excite all the wizards of Hogwarts.

The Hogwarts Quidditch match is about to begin, and this will be the preliminary round for all new players.

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, such a grand day is not only cloudy, but also light rain, strong winds, small raindrops on people's faces, really uncomfortable.

But that doesn't stop the children's love for Quidditch. The lively atmosphere infected the faculty and staff, and Filch also had a smile on his face for the first time in a long time, although it was ugly, but it also made the new students relax a lot.

The new students are different from the old students, in their eyes, although Filch is strict and can take care of trivial things, but it is not as bad as the old students say, and they will punish them at every turn.

In the stands, several young wizards were busy under the command of Professor Flitwick, and occasionally the little wizards who came up were also invited down by the professor.

In the center of the four college stands and the professor's stand, a metal-like cylinder stands with a circular depression at the top.

Under the manipulation of the young wizards, flames ignited at the top of the cylindrical metal rods, and an invisible barrier spread out, expelling the moisture from the stands and enveloping the entire non-playing area of the stadium.

The little wizards waiting below all cried out in surprise.

In the dense and continuous air, like a pair of invisible hands, the rain curtain was opened and scattered to both sides. The void was so clear that not a single ray of rain had entered.

If it had been before, the professors really didn't dare to arrange such a large-scale magic, after all, this is not Hogwarts Castle, it has its own source of magic.

Now, the mana crystals produced in the dungeon are enough to support these costs.

The cylindrical metal rod is used to carry on the crystallization of mana, and its function is to extract the mana within it and transmit it to the magic pattern system connected to it.

Due to the sheer amount of mana required for such a large demonic system, and the speed at which the cylindrical metal rod draws mana, it gives it the appearance of a flame, but it doesn't have a trace of heat or light when you get closer.

"Quiet!"

The young wizards communicated with their friends about this, and the noise of chirping made Professor McGonagall irritate and spoke sternly.

"A few caveats. Don't touch anything in the stands that you find novel, don't ......"

After recounting a few precautions, Professor McGonagall let go of the line and let them ascend to the stands in order.

Daniel and Claude were fairly fast and found a good position.

"Is this what Lily and the others are talking about the magic center?"

Daniel asked curiously, looking at the cylindrical metal rod in the center of the Ravenclaw stands.

"It should be. It is said to have been jointly developed by several senior magic research groups, and it also refers to the secret magic of the family. ”

Claude said.

"Didn't the school earn it? Isn't all this magic in school? ”

Daniel said in surprise. As a member of the Demon Research Group, he knew some of the rules.

For example, the results of the Magma's research team must be handed over to Hogwarts.

There is no opinion on this. The treatment of Hogwarts is good, not only does it provide magic research resources, but also special professors' guidance, which are all free, and there is also a salary, although it is not much, but it is already very good for students.

If your group's products are added to the list of items in the Hogwarts Benefit, there will be additional dividends to be gained.

This is something that many senior wizards dream of. Who doesn't want to lie at home and have money to send it!

"Do you really believe what people say?"

Looking at the naïve Daniel, Claude said.

"Oh!"

Daniel understood.

Then, everyone came one after another, and the Ravenclaw stands were crowded with little wizards.

Pandora and her roommates squeezed over to Claude while it was still early.

Under Pandora's introduction, Daniel and Claude learn about the Magic Hub. The most valuable thing about the Magic Hub is not the magic pattern design, but the crafting materials.

There are many magic designs that extract magic crystals in history, and there are many corresponding books in the Hogwarts Library.

These seniors had just carried over the design scheme of the magic extraction magic pattern that had been simplified by the family elders. Compared with my own design, both in terms of efficiency and stability, it is very good.

Lily and Pandora also got a lot of inspiration from it.

In the rest area of the Ravenclaw players, looking at the crowd of people in the stands outside, William was very nervous and his legs were shaking.

Although Ralph was not as serious as William, he pursed his lips with a serious expression, and his teammates saw this as if they had seen a copy of Professor McGonagall.

"Don't be too nervous! Forget the nervousness, that's how we came back then, just fly up. ”

A senior sister wearing a Quidditch suit, said.

Both Ralph and William looked at the senior sister with resentment.

"Sister Kelly, are you really good like this?"

William said quietly.

Everyone laughed, and Ralph wasn't so serious. After a bit of a joke, the atmosphere in the team was noticeably soothed.

The little witches who joined the team with Ralph and the others also stopped running to the toilet in the cubicle.

"There are so many boys, only two."

Looking at the new players, Billy said with some regret that his dream seemed to be far away.

"Say what? We girls can't compare to you boys? ”

A senior sister leaned against the wall and said.

"Yes, yes!"

The other girls answered, and for a moment, the Ravenclaw lounge was full of activity.

"Let's talk about this competition first. We're still playing against Hufflepuff, so don't be nervous. I told the captain of the other side that this time it will be mainly for training, and everyone will have the opportunity to play. There may be multiple truces and breaks ....."

After pacifying the witches, Billy explains the purpose of the contest.

It is a link to familiarize yourself with the game, so that everyone does not have too much psychological pressure, how to be happy, but you still have to cooperate with your teammates.

Don't tire yourself out too much. If you're really tired of flying, just fly higher and rest for a while, no one will hit the Bludger.

"Alright, let's get out."

Hearing the whistle, Prefect Billy felt that it was almost enough, so he took five new-generation players to sit on the broom and enter the arena.

The sky was overcast, and the light rain was falling on the field, obscuring everyone's vision, which was a good thing for the new players, and the stands of Mohu Lake could at least soothe everyone's emotions.

The rain fell on the helmet, pooled, dripped down the neck, and everyone shivered. Under the call of all eyes, everyone was very nervous.

Ralph pursed her lips again, and William, like the girls, trembled.

"Be careful, don't be scared later, concentrate!"

Billy shouted at them from the front.

"Hmm!"

Everyone nodded vigorously, they knew what the captain was talking about.

"Behold, the oncoming Ravenclaw team! Wow! Of the 7 people, only 2 are veterans, and they are full of confidence in themselves! ”

Under the effect of the [Amplification Spell], the loud and passionate voice of the commentator echoed in the arena.

Ravenclaw, in the midst of a cheer, raised a blue banner with a bronze eagle flying high and staring at the sky.

Heart-rending cheering shouts resounded in the sky, and more of them were the screams of girls.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the academy, the new players on the field all looked at each other, their eyes more determined, although their bodies were still trembling.

"Isn't it nervous? It would be much better if the game officially started. ”

Paul spoke at them, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Don't be afraid of mistakes, no one is born to know. We've all trained from game by game. ”

He kept sharing Chicken Soup for the Soul with Ralph in an attempt to relieve their stress, as well as some of the peculiar situations encountered during the game.

"Our long-awaited Hufflepuff is here too. O Merlin! Their selection is the same as that of Ravenclaw, with 2 old players and 5 new players. The competition is getting more and more interesting, so let's stay tuned. ”

"Very good, the captains of both sides shook hands very kindly, and patted each other on the shoulder, it seems that they had premeditated. But! We all know that there is only one winner! ”

"I want to knock him down!"

Manli looked at the commentator in the stands unhappily, and said that it was the girl who almost hit Ralph with a ghost fly ball last time.

"Yes, but you've got to be 'careless.'"

Paul smiled and shared it with them.

"Oh, really?"

Manli's eyes lit up as she looked at the commentary on the stage.

"Oh! A beautiful Ravenclaw lady, she looked at me like jewels, family, I think I'm in love. If she wants to... Hey..."

There was boos from the field.

The microphone in front of the narrator suddenly turned into a wooden stick and smashed it on his head. As soon as the narrator turned his head, he saw Professor McGonagall looking at him with an unkind gaze, and he smiled wryly.

"This guy!"

Miss Manli can be said to be angry.

"That's how he is, don't worry too much. Many female players have been 'shown love' by him. ”

Paul said.

"We'll help you get him later."

William said from the side.

"You're a Seeker! Do you want to lure the Bludger to him? ”

Ralph joked.

"Good way!"

William laughed "hey".

In the short words, everyone was relieved a lot.

A short, shrill whistle sounded, and the game officially began. The spectators in the stands fell silent, picked up their binoculars, and looked into the center of the field.

William, as a Seeker, flew into the sky as soon as he could, his eyes constantly shuttling across the court.

"That's William! The moment he whistled, he leapt into the clouds with lightning speed, and the advantage was tilting in Ravenclaw's favor. ”

On the commentary stage, the host frantically played his part. Ravenclaw cheers, Hufflepuff boos, Slytherins watched with disdain, and Gryffindor was causing trouble everywhere.

Ralph was the batsman this time, and like Captain Billy, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Bludger's position

As a goalkeeper, Paul maintained a defensive stance in the middle of three golden frames.

The three witches under him are all batsmen and play freely.

The Hufflepuffs on the opposite side are also in a similar arrangement, with the old players occupying the two positions of goalkeeper and batsman, and the rest being reserved for the new players.

As the players on the field dispersed, everyone's mood became urgent, and the audience did not want to see the lifeless field.

"Grandma's compost pitcher plant! The Ravenclaw chaser has swung his bat, oh! That familiar eye is you, it's you! At this moment, how I wish I was the Quaffle! ”

Manli twisted left and right, and flew in front of the Quaffle first, swinging the bat.

Even though she had listened to the teachings of her seniors and did not take the narrator's words to heart, she still gritted her teeth.

"Nice pass! It's already for a new player... Something doesn't seem right, our Miss Eye passes the Quaffle to her Hufflepuff opponent. Well? The Hufflepuff players were also very confused and hit the ball off the court...... It's going to be the battle of the century! ”

Seeing the changes on the field, the narrator keenly caught Hua Dian, his voice suddenly rose high, noticed something, his voice stopped abruptly, and then became low, as if he was holding back a laugh, and finally shouted "The Battle of the Century" hoarsely.

Amid the laughter, Manly the little witch and the new Hufflepuff player across from each other glanced at each other, both seeing the embarrassment and anger in each other's eyes.

"Ralph, are you okay?"

A Bludger flew towards Ralph, hitting the old batsman on the opposite side, not very fast, it was a feeding move.

"Trust me, Captain!"

Ralph said, holding his stick. The figure flickered, a slap, a crisp "pop" sounded, and the Bludger flew to the opposite side.

Looking at the Bludger that was flying very quickly, the Hufflepuff wizard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked for a chance to hit back.

In the end, it was their old batsman who hit the ball back and looked at Ralph with some curiosity.

"Tap, Ralph."

Billy came over to Ralph and whispered.

As everyone got used to it, the game became more and more interesting, and everyone played back and forth.

Willian also spotted the Golden Snitch once, but was disturbed by an opposing player while chasing the ball and lost his target.

Both chasers tried their best to hit the ball into the opposing box, but both were stopped by the experienced goalkeepers on both sides.
