Chapter 161: Humanoid Bludger

The next day is the weekend, so there are no classes.

As soon as Kyle opens the door to his dorm room in the morning, he is greeted by Cedric with his arms outstretched.

"What kind of look are you......" Kyle asked, confused, "what about imitating the beckoning cat?" ”

"What cat...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. ”

Cedric put down the arm he had just raised and said, "I'm here to call you, have you forgotten that today is the day of the Quidditch tryout, why did you only come out now?" ”

"Yes, I just woke up......," Kyle said as he rubbed his face, rightfully so.

It's rare to have a weekend with good weather, and it's a shame not to sleep more.

Cedric rubbed his forehead and said, "Ten o'clock selection, it's half past nine now...... How did you sleep? ”

"Isn't there still half an hour, it's completely too late."

Kyle grabbed his Halo 2000 and followed Cedric out of the common room.

Along with him was Connor, who had been waiting outside when Cedric had gone to call Kyle.

A few people walked across the field to the Quidditch pitch.

At this time, the auditions had not yet officially begun, but the area around the stadium was already bustling, and even Professor Sprout, who rarely left the greenhouse, had arrived, and she was standing in the middle of the court, talking to Mrs. Hodge.

There were quite a few people sitting in the stands around us, some from Hufflepuff and some from other houses.

It is not difficult to see from the nervous appearance of those people that at least half of them are here to inquire about information.

But Harris, as the captain of the team, didn't care, and didn't mean to drive them away.

When Kyle and the others came over, he even enthusiastically explained the basic rules of Quidditch to some of the junior wizards.

"Quidditch is actually very simple, the chaser is responsible for throwing the Quaffle to score, and the batsman is responsible for protecting the player from the Bludger with a wooden stick and hitting the Bludger at the opposing player."

Harris sat in the stands and said to a boy with glasses, "But you don't have to think about that, as a Seeker, Potter, your mission is to catch the Golden Snitch in the shortest possible time." ”

"What is the Golden Snitch......" Harry asked curiously.

"A very troublesome little fellow." "But catching it ends the game and adds 150 points to your team," Harris said. ”

"Golden...... Snitch ......," Harry whispered to himself.

But soon he thought of something, looked at Harris with a confused expression, and said, "Wait...... How do you know I'm a Seeker! ”

"It's simple."

Harris shook his head and said, "Wood can't stop laughing these days, and we can add two extra spoonfuls to dinner, and we can already see that something is wrong."

And what makes him so happy is only the problem of the Seeker. ”

"So Wood told you?" Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't leaked from my side.

"It has nothing to do with him."

Harris shook his head and said, "That kid Wood still wants to keep it a secret from me, saying that his owl is happy to have a second child."

So I went straight to Professor McGonagall and told me that you were the new Gryffindor Seeker. ”

"Mai, Professor McGonagall?" Harry sat there dumbfounded, somehow feeling a little sorry for Wood.

He had thought of using himself as a secret weapon to catch the other teams off guard, but it was only a day before his opponent heard the news from Professor McGonagall.

What kind of secret is this......

"Good job, Harry, you're going to be great." Harris stood up and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "I'm looking forward to the day I play against you." ”

After saying that, he left the stands and walked towards the middle of the court, and on the way he said hello to the Kyles who had just walked over.

"Looks like it's about to start."

Kyle took his Halo 2000 and sat down in the front of the stands.

Connor glanced at the court and asked, "How many players are going to be selected this time." ”

"Two, one batsman, one chaser." Cedric said, "Kyle is in the chaser tryout. ”

"Hmm."

Kyle nodded beside him.

Compared to battling with Bludgers or looking for snitches or stuff like that, what he likes most is the feeling of scoring goals.

Although a goal is only 10 points, as long as you score more, you can also get 150 points...... And even more.

At ten o'clock, the selection began.

The first thing that was done was the selection of the batsmen, and there were three people in total.

Under Harris's arrangement, the three of them got on broomsticks and came to the middle of the court.

The batsman was mainly tested for precision and power when swinging the stick, and Harris had already moved the box containing the Bludger in advance.

All the three of them need to do is keep themselves on the broom as long as possible, and the last one to be knocked down can enter the team.

As Harris opened the box, the two Bludgers flew out like cannonballs and began to rampage through the air.

The three of them took the wooden sticks and flew the Bludger flying towards them.

After all, it is a person who has passed the primary election, and the strength must still be there, and it is impossible to be eliminated at the beginning, but it will be different after a long time.

Everyone watched in silence.

Five minutes later, the first eliminator appeared.

It was a second-year student, the youngest of the three.

Maybe it was because he saw that nothing had come of it, and he gradually lost his breath, so he wanted to hit the Bludger in the direction of the other two.

As a result, because of the excessive force, he actually took off his hand and threw the wooden stick out.

There was nothing to say, and the next second, he was knocked off his broom by another Bludger.

"Oh...... That must have hurt. ”

In the stands, Harry let out an involuntary exclamation when he saw this scene, and subconsciously reached out to touch his shoulder, as if he had also been hit.

"That's how batsmen are."

Ron explained: "George told me that when he was on the team in his first year, he broke his arm three times with a Bludger.

Fred was similar, but he broke his leg. ”

Kyle, who was sitting not far away, heard Ron's words and looked at Cedric suspiciously, "Fred and George broke their arms from Bludger?" ”

"No, never!"

Cedric said categorically: "The other batsmen have been injured to some extent, only Fred and George...... As far as I know, after a school year's games, Bludger didn't even hit their clothes.

In fact, they themselves are like two Bludgers. ”
