Retirement from Hogwarts

Chapter 17 New to the team

After breakfast, on the way back to Ravenclaw Castle from the Great Hall, a familiar figure appeared in front of Jack and Hermione and stopped them.

"It's not easy to meet you, little brother Jack." Qiu Tiao suddenly appeared from the corner of the corridor and laughed. "Every time I see you either in the library or on the way to the library, I feel embarrassed to disturb you. Why did you suddenly think of joining the Quidditch team today?"

"Because flying broomsticks are fun." Jack replied with a smile.

"I didn't expect that a nerd like you could actually appreciate the charm of flying. Flying is indeed...wait, flying broomsticks are fun?" Qiu paused mid-sentence, and then asked with a look of surprise on her face. road. "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Come with me, I will take you to the Quidditch training ground."

"Isn't the direction of the Quidditch training ground here?" Hermione asked curiously to Qiu, who was leading them towards the northeast of the main castle: "Isn't the Quidditch training ground to the south of the main castle?"

"The public training ground is indeed here, but this is the direction of our college's Ravenclaw private training ground. Our college is the only college that has its own Quidditch training ground." Qiu said with a proud face.

"Exclusive Quidditch training ground?!" Hermione's voice could not help but rise several times in surprise after hearing Qiu's words.

"Ever since Ms. Ravenclaw's daughter left her, she has spent all her energy and wealth on the construction of the college." Qiu explained. "In the second half of her life, she has been committed to building the college into the most complete facility and the most beautiful environment in Hogwarts."

When Jack and Hermione followed Autumn to the Quidditch pitch, they found that the entire Ravenclaw team had arrived except Autumn.At this time, they were studying around a huge holographic projection and watching Jack's performance during the afternoon flight.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer with such good skills. He must be a good prospect to be a chaser." A tall boy said.

"Agility is nothing, look at the speed of his flight. At such a fast speed, he can accurately avoid every tentacle and flytrap that grabs him. With such reflexes, as long as he is hitting the ball My hands will definitely be the best ever." A girl wearing a Quidditch uniform argued unconvincingly.

"I think his ability is most suitable as a goalkeeper." Another tall boy said.

Then several people got into a quarrel.

"Okay, okay. Gentlemen and girls, stop arguing." A blond girl who looked like the captain said. "The newcomer has arrived. Since you can't come up with a result through discussion, why not let him make his own decision. Qiu, come and introduce him to us."

Then, Autumn introduced Jack and Hermione to everyone in the Ravenclaw team.And introduced the members of Team Ravenclaw to them one by one.

"These two are Peter Pan and Robin Hood, they are the Chasers of Ravenclaw." Qiu pointed at a tall teenager and a man in green robes.

Then she pointed to two petite women, "They are third-year seniors Lenas Valkyrie and Hilmeria Valkyrie. They are our team's batters, and they are responsible for protecting them on the court." Our Valkyrie."

"This is Heimdall of the fourth grade." Qiu pointed at the tall boy with golden eyes. "us

The team's goalkeeper is known as Iron Wall. "

"The last one is Senior Sister Claudia Enfield. She is Ravenclaw's Seeker like me, but Senior Sister is the main candidate. At the same time, Senior Sister is also the captain of our team, leading our team to The goddess of victory." Qiu pointed at the blond girl standing at the front and said with admiration.

These names are all familiar. If you just look at the player names, this team is really strong.Jack couldn't help but think to himself after listening to Qiu's introduction.But the captain's name sounds very sinister, so I don't want to be targeted by her.

"Hey, welcome newcomer, you heard what they said just now, right?" Captain Claudia first glanced at Qiu, who admired her highly, fondly, and then said to Yuan Yuan with a smile. "So, which position are you more interested in?"

"I can go anywhere. Is there a position that is lacking in the team? If there is a shortage of people, I will go wherever it is." Jack looked at the smiling Claudia, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately replied obediently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fangyuan saw the eyes of the two chasers light up.

"In that case, congratulations, the super newcomer is yours, boys." Claudia said. "If there is a shortage of players in other positions in the team in the future, we will discuss it."

Then Claudia took out a box from the side. She opened the wooden box and found three balls of different sizes inside.

"Although it is not easy to play, the rules of Quidditch are actually very easy to understand." Claudia explained. "There are seven people on each side, three of them are called chasers. That is you and the two of them." Claudia pointed to the three of them, and then she took out a big bright red ball from the box. " This ball is called the Quaffle, and the chasers' task is to pass the Quaffle to each other and try to get it through a ring." She pointed to the metal rings on both sides of the court. "Every time the Quaffle passes through the ring, you get ten points. Do you understand?"

"The goalies are there to stop you. Their job is to fly around the ring and keep you from scoring."

"This is a Bludger. It's a little bad guy who likes to run around." Then she took out one of the two balls that were chained. "They're kind of a neutral ball. They're flying around trying to knock anything in the air down." Then she pointed to the Valkyrie sisters. "So, there are two batters on each side. They're in charge. Protect us from Bludgers while we're in the sky. If you don't want to be harassed by these two bad guys during the game, you have to please them."

Finally, Claudia carefully opened a hidden compartment on the lid of the box and took out a small golden ball.

"This~~~" Claudia said in a longer tone, "It's the Golden Snitch. It's the most important of all the balls. It's hard to catch it. It flies as fast as lightning and you can't see it clearly. .The job of the Seeker is to catch it. If the Seeker of any team catches the Snitch, his team can win an extra 150 points, which is almost a sure win. Of course, this can only happen if the Snitch is caught. When I lived there, the Quidditch game wasn't over until sometimes, so sometimes a game would last for many days. In that case, the team would have to bring in substitutes to take the players off and take a nap."

After explaining the rules, Claudia clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and then continued. "Let's stop here for today's meeting. Tomorrow at noon I will take Fangyuan to the Diagonal Space Station to customize his broom. This way he should be in time for this weekend's training. It's not too early now, let's dismiss." After that, she Be the first to go to the stadium gate.
