Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue Chapter 869

"Since you're here with a flying broomstick," Professor Flitwick couldn't help urging as the selection queue for the freshman team gradually shortened, "Go try it, at least fly in the sky."

"But... I'm not a first-year student, so I will be laughed at and discussed for a long time, right?"

Qiu Zhang tightly grasped the Comet 260 he had just taken care of in the morning, and whispered distractedly.

Felius Flivy did not intend to refute this. He was the dean of Hogwarts for decades. He is the professor who knows the children of his school best. In Ravenclaw's lounge Among them, rumors and gossip have always been the most.

"Fly if you want to fly," he said. "Don't leave regrets in your Hogwarts experience."

"But everyone from the previous team didn't come to the stadium," Qiu Zhang said softly, "I'm... betrayal, right?"

"Oh, that's too bad," Flitwick said. "After all, from the current situation, at least half of the freshman team are Ravenclaw first-year freshmen. I thought that after a year of rest , The academy team can come back next year."

Professor Flitwick was aware of the abnormal atmosphere in the college very early, but he had never expected it to be so serious before.

The noise of the mobs—this is what Elena Kaslana said about Ravenclaw today.

Follow the trend, lack the spirit of independence, lack of initiative, and it is easy to substitute perceptual emotions for rational thinking in ordinary life. Even a certain rationality is often swayed by perceptual emotions... conceited mentality, terrible sensitivity, extreme irresponsibility This kind of group under the guise of freedom and majority is not what Ravenclaw College should present.

"If I go, Marietta will definitely break my friendship." Qiu Zhang struggled a little.

"Autumn, there are many ways to maintain and restore friendship." Professor Flitwick raised his fingers and replied in earnest, "Don't try to be irresponsible or make mistakes together. Even if it succeeds for a while, it may be possible. Planting a bitter taste for your friendship-not to mention, if Ravenclaw wants to return next year, there is still a captain left."

His voice echoed in the empty Quidditch stands, which belonged to the Ravenclaw students.

"The road to the future is still long," the little half-fairy professor said softly, "Questions and setbacks are bound to be indispensable, but these are not your burdens. Whether you continue to fly and enjoy the game is what you should consider right now. "

Qiu Zhang glanced yearningly at the flying figures on the field, and pressed his lips tightly.

She finally joined the Quidditch team of the academy last year. For so many years, she has been hoping to fly freely in the sky like the members of her favorite Tornado team and win the next exciting games. .

This kind of expectation can't be easily defeated by a heavy, focused walk.

As Irina said before, the freshman trials have been going on almost all morning.

Almost all first-year students from the four academies came. They nervously clutched the old broomsticks picked out from the school warehouse, which were about to be eliminated, and excitedly and excitedly submitted to Irina and Hermione to join. Application.

A whole week is enough for the freshmen to find out what happened on the Quidditch pitch last year.

With the power of an example to follow, most of the freshmen have become quite confident.

Maybe they can't achieve the "Knockdown King" like Elena Kaslana, but if they target other members of the Hogwarts freshman team last year, it seems that it is not completely unattainable? At least in the eyes of freshmen.

Obviously, this undoubtedly greatly increased the workload of Hermione and Irina.

Some first-year freshmen who submitted applications have never even flown. Apart from last week's flight class, this may be their second contact with flying broomsticks. At the beginning of the selection, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Especially when there were a group of senior students watching the excitement around, the chattering sounds almost made the two go away.

However, as the two sorted out a set of screening mechanisms, the process quickly became simple and efficient.

"Huh, it's finally over..."

Hermione sighed softly and glanced at the last remaining batch of applicants.

The easiest place to determine is the seeker. Luna Lovegood's talent in this area is like cheating. She is catching the golden snitch, predicting the deflection of the golden snitch, avoiding the walking ball... these assessments are too bright Up.

On the other hand, her personality is also very suitable for seekers to move around the team.

As for the batsmen, there are two boys from Ravenclaw:

Hoffa Bach, a somewhat rigid little wizard, but surprisingly powerful and tricky when hitting the ball; the other is called Verne Kaimond, a man with a formidable face and a strong body like walking out of an oil painting Knight attendant boys.

In order to drive away the ball, the batsman usually needs good physical strength, so the position of the batsman is more likely to be performed by male wizards than female wizards than other positions on the Quidditch court. And because the batter sometimes needs to let go of the broom with both hands at the same time during the game, in addition to the strength of the arms, the requirements for leg strength and balance are not low.

I have to say that as an academy that has always been known for its prosperity and decline, Ravenclaw finally broke the curse this year.

The proportion of boys among freshmen has reached an unprecedented level of over one-third. It is no wonder that Professor Flitwick will be full of confidence in future Quidditch competitions. From past experience, the number of men in Quidditch events is obviously more Dominate.

"Well, Chirabi Carroll... If you are in your position--"

Irina frowned in distress, and looked at Hermione who was standing beside her inquiringly.

Standing in front of them was a small girl who looked very shy, and what did not match her appearance was what the girl filled in the application letter of intent for the Hogwarts freshman team.

"Are you sure you want to be a goalkeeper? Well, you fly so well, you can actually consider being a chaser."

Hermione's gaze stayed on Chilabi's petite body for a moment, and she said carefully.

In her mind, it's not that there has been a similar precedent for a “little goalkeeper”, but compared to a certain witch who played Quidditch as a knockdown game, this shy Ravenclaw was not like a first-year student. It is a dangerous element with this possibility.

"Goalkeeper's range of movement is the smallest, right? I have studied the rules carefully."

Chirabi Carroll was timid, and at the same time said very seriously.

"Even the broomsticks used for teaching at Hogwarts can take into account three door knockers in terms of instantaneous speed increase, so as long as the path of the ghost ball is judged correctly, the difference between the arm being one foot long or one foot short is not big."

"...It sounds like a lot of possibilities."

Hermione nodded noncommittal, drew a circle on the cardboard in her hand, and pointed behind her.

"Well, the goalkeeper's test has an extra part. In the chaser test later, you and the other little wizards each defended for ten minutes. We will judge based on the final overall situation. ..."

In a formal Quidditch professional game, the goalkeeper is usually a tall wizard.

However, strictly speaking, most of the little wizards at Hogwarts are also unqualified. Aside from this condition that most people cannot meet the standard, flexibility and brain are indeed more important than body.

Let me just add, the reading app I'm using recently, [MicMicReadingapp] There are many sources of books, all books, and fast update!

"Um... well, then we are still the last two people away now..."

Irina looked down at the form and then at the little wizards who were still on the field.

In Quidditch games, each team can only play seven players.

Except for the seeker, the goalkeeper, and the two batsmen, most of the hot spots and contention in Quidditch games actually occurred during the high-frequency conversion process of the three chasers of the two teams.

"Well, Irina, you have a chaser position by default, so we only have two spots left now—"

Hermione nodded and glanced at the cheerful little wizards standing in front of her.

If she remembers correctly, from the flight qualification test just now, Ron's sister is obviously far better than the other little wizards. If not surprising, the Miss Ginny Weasley is probably Also locked in advance.

It is a pity that besides Ginny, the performance of the other little wizards is much worse.

The reason why they put the tryout of the chaser to the end is that they hope to watch more rounds of the little wizards and select suitable candidates from them. If it is not possible, they can only recklessly pull a full number.

"Excuse me... can I come and try it?"

At this moment, a witch flew over from the stands not far away.

Before Hermione and Irina could react, the witch gently twisted the broom head, hovered on the edge of the field, carefully looked at the two junior students standing behind the audit table, and plucked up the courage to ask. Tao.

"I listen, well, I read the announcement in the auditorium that it is written that you are not only recruiting first-year students..."

"Uh-are you kidding me?"

Hermione said in surprise, frowning and looking at the senior girl in front of her.

As a determined to become an excellent Quidditch coach at Hogwarts, she naturally recognized the witch wearing a Ravenclaw Academy robe at the first glance. Last year, she was looking for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Hand-Qiu Zhang.

"No, no, you see my form has been filled out—"

The determined Qiu Zhang quickly shook his head, took out a form from his arms, and said seriously.

"Because of the lack of seven players, the Ravenclaw Academy team retired this year, so I am now a free agent. As for the position, don't worry, I can play in every position...not necessarily limited to finding Golfer."

"But—" Hermione groaned for a few seconds, looking at Qiu Zhang thoughtfully.

"If you obey the command and are willing to participate in the trials, then I don't think there is any problem!"

Irina stretched out her hand and took the filled out application form from Qiu Zhang. She looked at the one behind her for some years, but she paused on the well-maintained broomstick. Pointed to the back.

"By the way, let me explain in advance, even if you pass the selection, our team is not eligible to participate-after all the Quidditch selections are over this afternoon, we have to fight the back-to-school graduates. Guided match. If the performance is too bad, then maybe we can only cheer on the stands this year, so I hope—"

For the rest, Irina did not finish.

From the same family of wizards, she can see how this senior girl loves Quidditch, and although everyone is accustomed to calling them the "Hogwarts Freshman Team", this team is actually not called The name.

Irina lowered her head and glanced at the silver-white wing on her chest.

"The Hogwarts Moonlight Team... It's a simple name—"

Two hours later, the Quidditch trials of the remaining three academies also began.

Compared with the "freshman team" formed from scratch, the lineup of most academies is relatively fixed. It is not so much an open selection for all, as it is a special recruitment ceremony for certain "star players". .

As the batch of "Moonlight Demon Clan" entered the second grade last year, the new Quidditch era has finally begun.

"Gregory Gore, Vincent Crabbe, the combination of batters that played for the Moonlights last year..."

In the stands, Hermione introduced to the players behind her earnestly.

There was no suspense in the final selection result in the morning. Qiu Zhang and Ginny Weasley became the team's chaser with Irina Ivanovic with absolute advantage. Selection at Lettering College.

Unlike other academies, their batsmen confrontation intensity and actual combat is much colder.

Gore and Crabbe hovered in the sky, while avoiding the flying ball, while swinging the bat vigorously, trying to shoot down the other two Slytherin batsmen-the winner joins this year The team started, the loser was transferred from the starter to the second team as a daily sparring tool.

"It's worth noting that both of them shot down other players last year, and assisted the main attacker Elena completed nearly 50 shots... Compared to the Weasley brothers of Gryffindor, they attacked A lot of sex."

boom!

Accompanied by a muffled noise.

Gore and Crabbe skilfully completed an aerial relay and shot down Derek who was trying to counterattack.

Immediately after taking advantage of playing more and playing less, he blocked Boll's moving space, and directly through the one-for-one exchange method, announced that the Slytherin Quidditch team had completed the replacement of the old and new batter positions.

"Draco Malfoy, the final stat is 0/0/5. This is his knockdown assist-but compared to this somewhat bleak statistic, as the main chaser of the Moonlights, he is against Most colleges have caused a lot of pressure. When he becomes a Slytherin college seeker, he may be more dangerous..."

Hermione glanced at Draco Malfoy who was warming up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com frowned and continued the introduction.

Compared with the beginning of school last year, Draco now has a reduced edge, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark waiting to strike. Even Hermione doesn't know the true strength of this little wizard.

However, judging from his performance in class, he is at least in the top five of the grade.

After half an hour.

In the trials of the Gryffindor Academy team.

"Ron Weasley, who served as Gryffindor goalkeeper last year, but this year should only be a substitute goalkeeper."

Compared to the other little wizards, Ron is undoubtedly the most depressed and unlucky one.

After all, the current Gryffindor captain Oliver Wood is the goalkeeper, and the batsman is his twin brother. The three chasers are all female lions, and one of them seems to be the next captain.

"Harry Potter, as a chaser last year, as a seeker in the last game."

Hermione glanced at the data she had copied from Madam Hooch, while recalling the few games she had watched.

"In the team before, Harry was mainly the setter and third passer of Malfoy and Hannah-he flew well. In the final final, he ate the Golden Snitch and helped the Moonlight team to complete a double-scoring kill. Um... it seems to be a seeker this semester..."

It has to be said that Harry was indeed a bit suspicion in last year's game.

Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on him. After all, Elena relied on the seeker for the way he ended the game, and compared to the other little wizards, Harry was not so much in attacking desire or “killing”. weight.

boom

"Hannah Abbot, Hufflepuff's new chaser...be careful..."
