The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The life of the students in the school is very monotonous, and the magical and non-magical worlds maintain an amazing alignment in this regard. What's even more tragic is that Hogwarts students can't use electronic products - this is not the kind of can't use the kind of wits and bravery with the head teacher and the dean, but the real "shield", all electronic products are in Hogwarts. Watts will fail.

This means that when entering the 21st century, Muggle students will bring Walkmans, game consoles, and smartphones to school for entertainment, while little wizards can only play Quidditch, wizard chess, and shopping just like students a hundred years ago. Hogsmeade.

The little wizards from wizard families are okay, how can those hemp wizards endure the days without electronic products?

There is demand, and when there is demand, there will be a market. Little wizards hope to play Mario, gta, and Genshin Impact at Hogwarts, then there will be wizard businessmen who will find a way to make magic game consoles and magic consoles.

At that time, the magic world may usher in a wave of great development of magic spells. The entertainment means of the little wizards will also be much richer.

But it's still the 1990s, so the entertainment for the little wizards is still quite scarce. Because of the lack of entertainment, Quidditch matches are still a first-class event.

The most recent match was Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw.

This game can be said to be highly anticipated, and the reason is very simple. Both sides are equipped with the most advanced broom: Firebolt.

The broom's appeal to Quidditch lovers is deadly. It can be seen from Mrs. Hooch's performance. She made an excuse and got involved in pre-match training with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

"Look at its balancing ability!" Madam Hooch was full of praise for the Firebolt, "The tail of the Nimbus series is a little sloping, which will cause the broom to become a little 'muddy' after a few years of use, you see, fire The crossbow arrow has been improved here, and it is more coordinated on the whole. The broom itself is a little slender than the sweep series, which is very similar to the discontinued 'Silver Arrow' - what a pity, I was riding the silver arrow to learn to fly, then It's a very fine old broom..."

Mrs. Hooch talks about flying brooms like Professor Scamander talks about Fantastic Beasts, often digressing and easily babbling for a long time. It wasn't until Wood reluctantly expressed that they needed training that Mrs. Hooch stopped the conversation.

However, she did not leave, but sat in the stands with Ron. Ron was here because Harry agreed to let him try his Firebolt after training. This made Ron overjoyed and completely came out of Scabbers' psychological shadow.

It was a man who held the mouse he had slept with for several years. This kind of thing was very uncomfortable for anyone, and it also caused very serious psychological trauma to Ron. Harry had secretly thought that if Scabbers was a witch, Ron might feel better.

Banban was arrested before the festival. After a Christmas, Ron's mood eased a lot, but he was still a little gloomy. As Ron's best friend, Harry felt compelled to cheer him up.

What better way to cheer up than try riding a Firebolt?

So after the training, Ron took the broom with ecstasy and swooped into the sky. He rode a broom and flew round and round the field until night fell.

Carrying the Firebolt, Harry happily discussed the Firebolt's performance with Ron, and walked all the way to the brightly lit castle foyer. Ron seemed to have thrown Scabbers out of the sky.

Ravenclaw's training was on the second day, and the exact same thing happened, the only difference was that Mrs. Hooch focused on the devastating blow of the assembly line to the broom industry.

"In my opinion, if the Silver Arrow series can continue to be produced, such as a broom that is not inferior to the Firebolt, it's just a pity..." Mrs. Hooch shook her head and sighed as she handed the broom to Qiu Zhang, indicating that they could start trained.

In the stands not far away, Tom and Hermione were sitting on it and watching them train. The effect of Hermione's treatment yesterday was very significant. Tom's tongue completely recovered without any sequelae. Today, the progress of the project is much faster.

They will appear here, naturally it is Tom's suggestion, he feels that learning should be a combination of work and rest. So after completing the paper "Why Muggles Need Electricity", he pulled Hermione out to watch the Ravenclaw team training together.

Training is naturally very boring, nothing more than watching the players take off up and down and make various tactical moves. It was comforting, and this quiet time was invaluable to both Tom and Hermione.

"Why didn't you play?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Why should I play?" Tom asked back, "No need, there are more interesting things than competing..."

"What's the matter..." Hermione was about to ask when she saw Tom's black eyes, and felt a paw on her shoulder.

Not far away, Mrs. Hooch rolled her eyes and moved away calmly.

Fortunately, Tom's movements were not large, and he didn't take an inch. He leaned on the seat with his arms around Hermione, and said in Hermione's ear: "You can also learn to ride a broom, and I will teach you when I have time."

Hermione wanted to refuse, because after so many flying lessons, she had long known that she had no talent for riding a broom, but when she got to her lips, she suddenly turned into "Okay, it's a deal--don't dislike it. I'm stupid" sentence.

The two of them chatted with each other, and suddenly Hermione's eyes narrowed, and her black eyes were fixed on a shadow in the sky.

"I usually didn't notice that Senior Sister Qiu Zhang is quite beautiful," Hermione praised Qiu Zhang faintly, "Where's the Oriental Beauty."

Tom only felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise, and the word "dangerous" seemed to appear at the top of his head.

"Oh, is that right?" He looked like he was afterward. "I just heard that she is a very good Seeker, didn't you think she was pretty?"

Hermione glanced at him, but said nothing.

"I'm blind, and I look at people the same way. Only you are different. I remember your taste very clearly." Tom turned his head to the side.

Well! Hermione couldn't keep her cold look. Mrs. Hooch in the distance got up and left the stadium.

After a while, the two can enjoy this comfortable time with peace of mind. Tom leaned on the seat, looked at the little black dots in the sky with a calm expression, and ruffled Hermione's hair lightly with his hands, while Hermione lay on Tom's lap, blushing, unable to breathe for a long time. .

The Ravenclaw players are training hard. The experience of using the Firebolt was even better than they expected. Just a touch, the broom would react, flying across the field, riding on it, and the colors of the surrounding stands became blurred.

After Richie released the Snitch, Qiu Zhang easily dodged the flying Bludger and threw it behind him. After about ten seconds, she caught the Snitch who had just been freed.

The Ravenclaw players cheered.

Richie released the Snitch again and again, and then Qiu Zhang caught it back easily. The Firebolt greatly boosted the morale of the Ravenclaw team and made everyone play at their highest level.

"Victory will belong to Ravenclaw!" Richie shouted excitedly after everyone returned to the ground. Others also shouted happily, and their voices drifted far away along the wind.

"Thank you." After Richie announced that the training was over, Qiu Zhang did not return to the castle to wash up immediately, but ran to the stand instead.

Seeing someone coming, Hermione hurriedly got up from Tom and quickly packed her clothes. Fortunately, the sun had already set, and the light was dim so that no details could be seen.

"It's nothing, just give things to those who need them," Tom waved his hand. "Are you used to it?"

Qiu Zhang nodded excitedly: "It's a great broom, I feel like there's nothing I can't do while riding on it."

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Potter also has a Firebolt." Tom was not as optimistic as Qiu Zhang. He felt that even with the blessing of Firebolt, Qiu Zhang should not be Harry's opponent. Because Harry also has a Firebolt.

Just like the famous saying "All money is paid, no money is paid", all Firebolts are equal to no Firebolts, and Qiu Zhang's situation has not changed.

"I don't know if I don't ride it. Only after riding will I realize the difference between Firebolt and sweeping the generation gap." Qiu Zhang shook his head, still full of confidence in himself.

It was only then that Tom remembered that Qiu Zhang used the ordinary sweeping eleven stars before. Not to mention Firebolt, this broom is even inferior to Nimbus 2000. For her, Firebolt was the most important thing that allowed her and Harry to fight on the same starting line.

It’s better to give all money than no money at all, because people’s incomes are different, and it is better to have Firebolts than to ride the original broom, because the quality of everyone’s broom is also different.

"Are you going back for dinner? It's getting dark." Qiu Zhang sent an invitation.

"Of course." Tom was very kind, and there was no reason to refuse - he was also a little hungry.

The three of them walked towards the castle together.

Along the way, through chat, Tom learned that Qiu Zhang was born in the United Kingdom, and that her mother worked in the Ministry of Magic. She didn't give much pocket money at ordinary times, and did not support her very much in playing Quidditch.

"This is a game between men, you are a girl, what are you mixing!" Qiu Zhang imitated her mother's tone vividly, "But I still like Quidditch very much, because it allows me to fly in the sky. "

At this time, the three had already walked to the auditorium.

"Anyway, thank you, Yodel, I finally have a chance..." After Qiu Zhang said these words, he parted ways with Tom and Hermione. She walked to the end of the long table and sat with a few of her best friends.

"What her mother said is fine. Girls suffer a little physically, so I've always wondered why Quidditch is not divided into men's and women's groups." Hermione raised her eyebrows and pulled Tom to find a vacant seat. sit down.

"Perhaps it's because the wizarding world is so thin? Quidditch competitions are not easy to do. You actually want to split into two groups of men and women." Tom told the truth.

Generally speaking, various sports competitions are divided into men's and women's groups. Because of the great physiological differences between men and women, male athletes are almost a dimensional blow to female athletes. If the grouping is not clear enough, there will be some shameless people who take advantage of the loopholes.

For example, some competitions are grouped according to psychological gender plus hormone concentration, and there will be transgender athletes "male-to-female", running to the women's group to compete and win medals. These people verbally say that they think they are women, and that the hormone levels in their bodies are indeed up to the standard, but in fact, everyone knows what their condition is.

This is the unintended consequence of grouping.

But there is no grouping in the magic world, witches and wizards compete on the same stage! The fundamental reason is that the wizarding world has too few people to organize the Wizards' Quidditch League and the Witch's Quidditch League. In fact, a Quidditch tournament is enough to drain the magic world to its full potential.

Muggles have football, basketball, tennis, ice hockey... Wizards have only one Quidditch. That's why there isn't a second popular sport in the wizarding world - too few people.

But for wizards, there seems to be no need for another popular sport. They like Quidditch and enjoy it.

...

Early the next morning, the Gryffindor players came to the Great Hall. Harry was surrounded by his classmates in the dorm because they felt that Firebolt needed an honor guard. Coincidentally, Ravenclaw students think so too.

So two teams appeared in the auditorium. They invariably placed the broom in the center of the table for everyone to watch.

The smell of gunpowder was very strong in the air. The sharp-minded students opened the handicap, betting on the outcome of the two houses.

Tom saw that even Percy was involved—he made a bet with his girlfriend, Penello Clearwater, ten Galleons on the outcome of the game. As a student of Gryffindor, Percy resolutely stood on the opposite side of his girlfriend, stud, took out all his savings (in fact, it was not enough for ten Galleons), and bet Gryffindor victory.

His girlfriend Penello is the prefect of Ravenclaw Academy and a friend of Qiu Zhang, so she naturally supports Ravenclaw.

Watching the game between the couple~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Tom felt that Percy would have a hard time whether he won or lost.

At 10:30, the two teams all set off to the locker room. The students in the auditorium also formed a turbulent crowd, pouring out of the castle and heading for the Quidditch pitch.

Tom glanced at the sky: clear, cool, breezy, a good day for a game.

Harry changed into his jersey and went to the outside court, where the Ravenclaw players were already waiting for them in the middle of the court.

A figure inside caught Harry's attention.
