Learn Magic at Hogwarts

After a little disturbance, Noah and the others put the books back in the dormitory, and went back to the auditorium for dinner.

Everyone's attention was not on the tragedy of the second grade just now, but on another matter.

Quidditch selection.

This week is the time for Quidditch selection. It was going on yesterday, but only a few students were selected today.

But what made the Slytherins unhappy was that Gryffindor had recruited three members, while Slytherin had only one.

What a weird desire to win.

Noah listened to a few third-year Slytherins and Warringtons talking about how they were selected today, but they didn't make the selection because there were too many people.

It sounded like a veiled complaint that those people hadn't been picked in previous years and would join in the fun this year.

Fortunately, what he said was very cryptic, and he was far away from those senior students, so he didn't hear his "sarcasm".

But Warrington and others were caught and forced to listen to strange speeches for no reason: "..."

Help, they don't want to hear the words that say it is a big trouble!

Noah turned a blind eye to their help-seeking eyes, and even turned his head and put a piece of baked potato on the plate in front of Eve.

The flattered Eve: "!"

Quidditch requires students who are in the second grade or above to sign up. They are only in the first grade, so let's just wait and see how the results are.

……

Although the first-year little wizards cannot participate in the Quidditch trials, they will still be happy to watch.

On Wednesday, because there were no classes during the day, a group of little wizards eagerly wanted to watch.

Even Eve is no exception.

Even Noah was deprived of the right to read, was dragged to the side of the court by Eve, and even skipped today's Glory Club activities.

Noah: "..."

He hasn't finished reading the book Professor Snape gave him!

……

Quidditch is an aerial team confrontation sport. To some extent, it can be regarded as a flying version of "basketball". It is a ball game that requires wizards to ride broomsticks to participate. Sports, after all, relevant international competitions are held every year.

Noah's parents often take Noah to watch related games. Although Noah is not very interested in this sport, he is still taken to watch a lot.

The sport requires high speeds and is often associated with danger, which is why it fascinates wizards.

The content of the game is roughly that two teams compete on broomsticks, and the team that throws the Quaffle into the rings at both ends of the grass court on the stage wins.

There are three kinds of game balls, one is the Quaffle, a red sphere with a diameter of 12 inches, usually sewn with leather, and has a sling for easy grabbing.The ball is enchanted so that it will slowly fall to the ground if no one catches it.This ball is the main way to score points, scoring ten points by passing it through the opponent team's hoop.

The second is the Bludger, which is made of iron and has a diameter of 10 inches. It is also enchanted and will run rampant in the court. It will chase after any player it encounters. Walk the ball as far as possible from their own team players, and of course, knock down the opposite player's side is best.

The last kind of ball, and the most central one, is the Snitch, only the size of a walnut, with wings made of silver, as fast as lightning, and can change any direction of flight flexibly and accurately, so this kind of ball is enchanted, Keep it from running out of range of the field.This kind of ball can only be caught by the seeker, and once caught, it means the game is over, and the caught seeker will add 150 points to their team.

In other words, there is no time limit for Quidditch, and the end of the game can only be determined by the Golden Snitch.

During the game, each team can have seven people, one goalkeeper, who intercepts the Quaffle flying into the ring.Two batters, with the aid of bats, protect their team from Bludgers.Three suitors, using Quaffles to add points to their team.A Seeker who specializes in finding and capturing Golden Snitches.

The rules seem simple and rough, but in fact there have been more than 700 fouls.

It can be seen how much the wizards have fought wits and courage with the rules.

It's not that Noah isn't completely uninterested in this kind of sport, he's simply not interested in riding a broomstick.

I don't know why, but I'm just not interested.

His parents also felt sorry for him.

But Noah and the others may not come at the right time.

Because when they arrived, the selection hadn't started, but... the two teams of Gryffindor and Slytherin were facing each other.

Noah: "..."

These two colleges really can rival each other anywhere.

After asking about Hufflepuff who came earlier than them, Noah and the others knew the beginning of everything.

Well, because of the venue battle.

Because the court in the afternoon had been reserved by Ravenclaw, only the court in the morning had not been set, so Slytherin and Gryffindor collided because of the preemption of the court.

At this moment, the captain of the Gryffindor team was looking at the captain of the Slytherin team opposite with a smile on his face: "You were using it yesterday, so it's our turn today."

The captain of Slytherin didn't budge, with a continued smile on his face: "Of course whoever comes early counts."

"That should be ours too!"

"Oh, it's obviously ours."

"I remember that you Slytherin only recruited one player yesterday? With such a low efficiency, it is better to let the field out as soon as possible. At least we don't need your time."

"How much better are you guys? What we are after is quality. Do you think everyone is as anxious as you? Let me do the math, how many old members of your team are left now?"

Very good, a wave of mocking each other, poking each other's pain points everywhere. ?

Noah even heard the Hufflepuffs around him exclaiming that they had eaten a big melon.

Noah: "..."

The two colleges refused to give in to each other, and the eyes of each other seemed to be filled with lightning.

At this moment, Mrs. Huo Qi rushed over with another team of players. She found the two teams occupying the field and not training, with a serious expression: "What are you doing? Leave the field without training!"

"Mrs. Hooch." The players from the two colleges immediately stood up. They looked at each other and snorted coldly, intending to persuade Mrs. Hooch to kick the opposing team off the field.

But at this moment these guys have not realized the seriousness of the matter.

"What are you still doing here?" Mrs. Hooch stared at them with hawk-like eyes, and said before they could speak, "Today the field belongs to Ravenclaw! You two houses have occupied it for two days, and other houses need it too." train!"
