In the afternoon, the Quidditch pitch.

Penelope Crivat enters the court with the Ravenclaw students who participated in the selection.

Among all the students of Ravenclaw, Penelope has a very special identity and status. Because she is both the prefect of Ravenclaw and the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, she is now close to being elected president of the student council.

She handed over the students to the other team members and asked them to arrange tryouts. However, she herself walked to the edge of the court with a first-year freshman who had never been silver-haired, and explained the rules of Quidditch to him gently and patiently.

"A Quidditch team has a total of seven players, three chasers, two batsmen, a goalkeeper and a seeker."

"There are four balls used in the game, one Quaffle, two Bludgers, and a Golden Snitch."

Penelope opened the box next to him as he introduced, explaining:

"The red one is the Quaffle, which is slightly smaller, and the black one is the Bludger, and the Golden Snitch is the smallest and the fastest."

"The three chasers are responsible for throwing the Quaffle into one of the opposing team's three goalposts to earn points for their own team."

"The goalkeeper is responsible for guarding his team's post and preventing opposing players from scoring goals."

"Two batsmen can protect their teammates from Bludgers and can also hit Bludgers at other players and interfere with the opposing team."

"The Seeker is responsible for finding the Golden Snitch in the field, and catching it will end the game."

"In a game, you can earn 10 points for every goal you score, and 150 points for catching the Golden Snitch. At the end of the game, whoever gets the higher score wins. ”

The girl bent down, her brown curls hanging down her cheeks, and asked softly:

"Ash, can you understand?"

Ai Xu smelled the fragrance of jasmine from the girl's hair, looked at the girl's concerned appearance, and couldn't help but spread his hands:

"Is there a possibility, in fact, I have been in Quidditch and know the rules."

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you know the rules." Penelope rubbed his hair indulgently and groaned.

She didn't think that Ash would be able to compete in any Quidditch tournaments before entering school, after all, he was only a half-blood, and his mother was also removed from the family, so he didn't even have the opportunity to get in touch with magic, so where could he participate in Quidditch? At most, I only have a partial understanding of it in textbooks.

"Wow!!"

"So fast! The Golden Snitch has only been released for two minutes! ”

"I bet even Madame Hooch won't be able to dive at that angle!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from the stadium.

It was Qiu Zhang, who had just swooped down from the sky and managed to grab the Golden Snitch in the palm of her hand. Her friend Marietta shouted excitedly, and the girl's face flushed with excitement.

She has always wanted to be a regular player in the Quidditch team, and today's tryout will have a profound impact on her future!

"It's amazing."

Penelope looked at the black-haired girl who slowly descended to the lawn, and said softly:

"Cho Chang has a lot of talent, and I don't think there's anyone better suited to a Seeker than her."

The eldest sister suddenly winked at Ash and asked slyly:

"Ash, do you want to try?"

She knew that the relationship between Ash and Qiu Zhang was not ordinary, so she deliberately asked Ash to compete with Qiu Zhang for a job.

However, she didn't expect that in the face of her inquiry, Ash's attitude was very serious:

"I do have the idea of trying out, but not as a seeker, but as a chaser."

"Why Chaser?" Penelope asked subconsciously.

A sunny smile appeared on Ash face, and he said softly:

"Because the senior sister is also a chaser."

Penelope's pretty face flushed slightly, and he said angrily:

"It's not that easy to get into the Quidditch team, don't expect me to release water!"

Ash said solemnly:

"I know, so I'm prepared."

"What preparation?" Penelope was about to ask, when his eyes suddenly attracted the owl in the sky.

Owls are not uncommon, and many owls come and go at Hogwarts every day to deliver letters to Hogwarts students and professors. But this time it was noticeably different, because there were more than a dozen owls in the sky!

A leading owl flew first, followed by eighteen other long-eared owls, each in groups of six, each carrying a slender package.

Penelope was wondering what was in the package, and the next second the owls flew straight towards them.

The leading owl dropped a letter above their heads, and the remaining owls approached the ground, placing the three slender packages on their backs on the lawn and flapping their wings to the sky again.

Syllable!

The tall Penelope grabbed the envelope falling from the sky and looked at it with her name written on it.

"Huh?"

Penelope blinked, she couldn't remember what she had bought.

Ash smiled and asked:

"Sister Penelope, don't you open it and take a look?"

"You bought it for me?" Penelope asked in surprise.

Ash corrected:

"To us, to be exact."

"We?" Penelope opened the envelope without dissolution, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the content on it:

"Dear Miss Krivat, we are glad that you can order our broomsticks, we will always provide the best service to our customers......"

"Broomsticks?"

Penelope opened the package in surprise and immediately saw the golden 'Light Wheel 2000' on the top of the broomstick.

"Merlin is on top!"

Penelope was a little incredulous, "You bought a Halo 2000?" ”

Ash dismantled the remaining two and corrected again:

"It's three, Senior Sister Qiu, it's yours."

He handed one of the brooms to Qiu Zhang, who was excited to run towards him, who couldn't wait to share the joy of becoming a regular member with him, but suddenly he was stuffed with a light wheel 2000, and his mind was still a little confused.

Instead, it was her friend Marietta who reacted first, exclaiming:

"Halo 2000?! I've always wanted one! Autumn, when did you buy it? ”

"It's not me......," Qiu Chang explained in a whisper, realizing that it was a gift from Ash.

However, this is a light wheel 2000! One is equivalent to her tuition for four years, which is very expensive!

"Where did you get all that money?" Penelope preemptively asked Cho Zhang's question.

Ash explained softly:

"It's a legacy left to me by my elders."

"How many?" Marietta swallowed and asked.

Ash thought for a moment, "There's not much left." ”

There is only half of the treasury left, less than 100,000 pieces.

Penelope did not hesitate to say:

"Then return it!"

"Can't be returned." Ash shook his head resolutely.

"Then I can't take it!" Penelope was equally resolute,

Ash beckoned to Penelope, motioned for her to lean down, leaned into her ear and whispered:

"Sister Penelope, I'm a first-year student and can't have my own broomstick, so I'll buy it in your name."

Penelope is still a little difficult to accept:

"But even if it'......"

Ash said softly:

"This is my gift to you."

"If Senior Sister doesn't want to go, she can give me more precious gifts in the future, right?"

"For example, the ...... of the senior sister"

Before Ash could finish speaking, Penelope was already flushed, and without saying a word, he picked up his broom and walked into the distance.

Ash beckoned to Cho Chang again, and concocted the same words that caused two blush on the girl's little face, which her father had told her to call in the East a bride price. When a woman accepts a bride price, it often means that she is engaged.
