Harry Potter: Gambit Awakening Magic System

"To be honest, I don't like Peter very much. He's a bit timid and tends to get delayed in doing things. I really don't know how he was sorted into Gryffindor. But he is actually a pretty good wizard, at least in some aspects. of."

James said softly.

"Promise me one thing, don't let him be the secret keeper in the future."

Jon stopped and looked at James seriously. James was confused by Jon's sudden seriousness.

"What secret keeper? Why can't Peter be the one?"

Jon did not answer directly, but looked at the sky. He had made a decision before traveling through time, and he would do his best to change their fate.

"Nervous, okay, I should go back, Sirius and the others are here."

James waved his hand, and Jon also noticed the three people walking together in the distance, and then smiled:

"It's just a joke, don't take it to heart, just pretend I didn't say it."

After saying that, Jon left directly and waited for the selection to begin.

"James, who is that?"

Sirius came up to him and said.

"Jon from Hufflepuff is a nice guy, but a little nervous."

Soon, two days passed by. Jon patiently finished the Charms class and the History of Magic class. In the afternoon's Transfiguration class, he practiced the Transfiguration Spell by himself in the classroom. Professor McGonagall did not come to class. The substitute professor said It is Professor McGonagall who has been sent to complete an important task.

After class, Jon couldn't wait to run to the Quidditch pitch. James and their roommates also rushed there.

"When do we start?"

James asked breathlessly. He hurried here as soon as get out of class was over.

"Let's take a look at what's being tested first, and then we'll start after the other students have finished."

Jon said as preparations for the first test began.

Jon and others rushed to the viewing platform and found that many students had gathered around to watch the competition. They were obviously here to observe the selection and prepare for the next year.

"The first test content: the ability to control the broomstick! The requirement is to cross a large circle of obstacles in the shortest time. There are twenty rings in total. The broomstick will record the number of rings you pass through. If one is missing, the number will be increased. Five seconds, the same applies to touching the ring. Now, ask the captains of each Quidditch team to lead the students participating in the selection to the designated position. The whistle sounds to start, and the person who grabs the air will have ten seconds added. Due to the large number of people, so Test two teams at once, Gryffindor and Slytherin prepare."

Mrs. Huo Qi stood on the referee's stand and said loudly. As soon as she finished speaking, four people wearing Quidditch costumes of different colors had already flown to their respective colleges on broomsticks and brought them to the designated place. Each team had The ten people must have been selected based on their performance as registered students and their usual flying lessons. Jon saw Jonah in the Gryffindor team. Jonah also noticed Jon and waved at him with a smile. Wave.

Jon and James walked around to observe the location of the rings. Twenty rings circled Hogwarts from one side of the Quidditch pitch. Each ring was wide and tall enough to pass ten people at once. It was quite huge and not Not a solid body, just a black ring of air formed by magic.

"Wands and any magic potions are not allowed during the selection process. You cannot maliciously attack other students. If found, you will be disqualified and will never participate in the Quidditch selection. Everyone, get on your broomsticks and go to your places!"

Following Mrs. Huo Qi's order, twenty students from Gryffindor and Slytherin all mounted their broomsticks and took off.

"Countdown, three, two, one!"

As the whistle sounded, twenty students rushed out like arrows and quickly rushed towards the big ring.

"Look, the one ranked first is David from Gryffindor, he is the youngest one!"

"Oh my god, he's so handsome! Come on David, come on Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindor students cheered. Although it was just a selection, after all, it was conducted by two houses at the same time, and the competitive spirit among the students could not be avoided.

Jon also carefully observed the people who were flying quickly, and at the same time, he was constantly thinking about his own flying method in his mind. Although there were auxiliary cards for Quidditch skills provided by the system, he had never tried it personally, so he would inevitably feel a little unfamiliar.

"That's Jonah! Oh my god, he's flying faster and faster! He's about to overtake David!"

As an exclamation sounded, Jon also shifted his perspective. Jonah was bypassing the students in front of him in a very weird arc.

"No, if he follows this trajectory, he will hit the ring!"

James exclaimed in shock. At this time, Jonah was less than 200 meters away from the ring.

"Jon, Jonah is your brother, right? Why don't you look nervous at all?"

Bill said that the five seconds added to the violation of the ring is very fatal, which is equivalent to flying one-third more distance than others.

"You underestimate Jonah too much. Watch carefully, he is about to take action."

The corner of Jon's mouth raised, he already knew what Jonah was going to do.

"Look, Jonah flipped, did he lose control?"

There was another exclamation, and Jonah's broom suddenly rose up, and then flipped 180 degrees, so that his entire body was underneath.

"He's going to fall!"

A girl panicked and couldn't help but cover her eyes. Another girl standing next to Jon hugged Jon's arm tightly and looked at Jonah in the sky in horror.

"..."

The corners of Jon's mouth twitched, he wanted to but couldn't...

But the expected situation did not happen. Jonah hooked his legs tightly on the broom, then turned sideways, and directly slipped through the gap in the crowd under the astonished eyes of David and others, instantly becoming No. 1.

"Merlin's beard! How did he do it?"

"It scared me to death. I had just imagined the scene where he fell to the point of being bloody and stinging!"

The girl holding Jon said, and then a speechless voice came.

"I know you're worried, but please don't worry yet. It's okay if you grab my arm. You're also grabbing my flesh. It's fine if you grab my flesh. You're not letting go now!"

After hearing this, the girl turned her head in confusion and met Jon's eyes. At this time, Jon's face was already twisted in pain.

"Ah? I'm sorry, I didn't realize it. I'm sorry I didn't hurt you, right?"

The girl said quickly, blushing in embarrassment.

"Let go first..."

"Oh, oh! Sorry!"

Jon rubbed his arm in pain, and Shishasha gasped. Why is this woman so strong?

As he spoke, the students participating in the selection gradually flew out of sight. When the students sighed and said they could no longer see them, Dumbledore appeared in the stands at some point. With a wave of his hand, there was a huge roar. The projection appeared in the sky, and what was shown on the screen was the flying figures of those students.

"Look, Jonah is still in the first position, and behind him is Slytherin's Horn Brownie!"

"Where's David Catkins?"

"He's behind Jack Kennedy, and Jack is causing trouble and interfering with his flight!"

James squinted and saw that the end of Jack's broom was pulling David's broom head intentionally or unintentionally, which made David look a little swaying from side to side.

"Cheating! He is cheating! He is interfering with David's normal flight!"

Sirius shouted, and then many Gryffindor students shouted in the direction of Mrs. Huo Qi. Upon seeing this, a Slytherin student immediately said:

"That's just normal contact. There are too many people and people are densely packed together. The broom is so long. Isn't it normal for them to bump into each other?"

As soon as the words fell, many Slytherin students echoed, and many students looked at Madam Huo Qi, but Madam Huo Qi did not take any action.

It's not that she didn't do anything, but it's really hard to say these things. The speed difference between most students is not big, and collisions are normal. But David's broom being collided frequently will definitely not be an accident. But if it is judged, Then the Slytherin student will definitely say that he did not cheat, and it will not be easy to judge anyway.

Mrs. Huo Qi looked at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore just shook his head at her, indicating that the game should continue.

Soon the students flew to the second half of the circle. The Slytherin students seemed to have premeditated and blocked the road ahead, and moved along the movement path of Gryffindor, causing Gryffindor to The candidates were blocked behind and couldn't get past. Many students watching angrily accused Slytherin, but the students in Slytherin looked indifferent and looked at the projection with a smile.

By this time, only Jonah and Slytherin's Burns Langley were left neck and neck. The two had stern expressions and lowered their bodies to the lowest level to reduce wind resistance and increase speed.

"It's just a selection, no need to play dirty tricks, right? There's no benefit."

Jonah suddenly spoke, but Burns seemed not to hear him, his eyes focused on the front.

After a while, Jonah and Burns appeared in the sight of the students on the viewing platform, as well as the other selectors behind them.

"There are seven laps left, come on brother."

Jon thought to himself that although it was just a selection, it was actually the same as a racing competition. The competition was not just about the ability to control the broom, but speed was also the key.

Jonah increased his speed again. Some of the remaining seven rings were connected to the towers of the castle, or were hiding behind the gaps in the bridge below. Logically speaking, he should slow down in the second half, but Jonah began to increase his speed again. , as if those obstacles didn't exist.

Whoosh!

Jonah and Burns turned sideways at the same time, passed through the connecting pillars under the bridge, and quickly rushed to the next ring. After a while, there was only a ring left in front of them, and the back of the ring was only 50 meters away was the castle tower. Burns had already begun to slow down, but Jonah did not. Instead, he widened the angle again, just like the time he passed other candidates.

Seeing this, Burns gritted his teeth and stopped decelerating. He slowly placed his hand on the broom head, seemingly preparing to pull up while passing through the circle and fly directly from the top of the tower.

"Come on, come on! Come on Jonah!!!"

Voices rang out one after another, and the Gryffindor students shouted.

"Burns, beat them!"

The Slytherin students also shouted, and the atmosphere reached a climax. Many people broke out in a cold sweat. If the operation was not done properly, they would directly hit the tower, and the consequences could be imagined.

"Go ahead, Jonah/Burns!!!"

With roars, the two of them rushed out of the last air ring at the same time. Jonah passed around the tower in a beautiful arc, but Burns's elevation did not work. According to his angle, unless he could reach [-] The speed rose straight up, otherwise he would directly hit the top of the tower, but he could not yet achieve a perfect ninety-degree lift, so after a moment of thinking, Burns reduced his speed, and finally he was still five meters away from hitting the top of the tower. When he was within a short distance, he successfully stopped the broomstick and quickly adjusted the angle to speed up and chase him.

But he could no longer catch up with Jonah. The distance between them was too far. In the end, Jonah rushed to the finish line in one minute and 42 seconds, while Burns finished in one minute and 49 seconds.

"Very good. The only drawback is that some students did not pass the clean test. The first test is over. Fortunately, no one was injured. I see all of your abilities, but this does not allow you all to join Kuaishou." Ditch team, okay, then there are Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw selections."

As the whistle sounded, another 20 people rushed out, but this time they did not crowd around. In the end, Anna Evans, a girl from Ravenclaw, won the first place with a time of one minute and 39 seconds. , three seconds faster than Jonah, and five seconds short of the previous record for Hogwarts students. No. 2 is Adam Cooper of Hufflepuff, with a time of 43 minute and [-] seconds.

"Very good, the first test is over. I have already made a rough guess about the occupations suitable for each of you. But whether you can be selected and serve depends on the second test and the final results. Yalin Linwei, now it’s up to you to introduce the second test.”

A girl next to Mrs. Huo Qi nodded. Jon remembered her. She was on the Quidditch team that came to look for them during the expedition in the Forbidden Forest, and she was a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Captain of the team.

"The second test tests your ability to hit the ball, pitch the ball, find the ball, and keep the goal. Attention now, teams, you will test your hitting ability in half an hour. Each person has three chances. The Quaffle will never move in a fixed direction. When it comes, you need to control the timing and hit the ball away. Don’t worry about other people’s Quaffle hitting you. The Quaffle is also a simulated item and will dissipate directly if it hits you.”

Yalin said that as for the rest, she did not explain it, so that those candidates would not think too much and lead to tactical confusion, and they would think about it one at a time.

"Have you noticed that Anna Evans? She seems to have carefully calculated every step she takes, whether it is the angle to surpass others, or the angle and timing to avoid obstacles, every time she flies Is it luck that I just happened to pass by someone else without touching them?"

Jaime touched Jon's arm and said.

"Once is an accident, if it happens more times, it is definitely not an accident. I have heard of this person. People in Ravenclaw call her a calculation weirdo, as if she can calculate everything accurately."

Jon narrowed his eyes, wondering if she could calculate the movement trajectory and appearance time of the Golden Snitch. If she could, she would undoubtedly be a very powerful opponent on the field.

"Time's up, the second selection begins!"
