The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 21 Visiting Quidditch Practice

After comforting Hermione, the two read a book for a while, then said good night to each other and went back to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

At breakfast the next morning, Hermione sat next to Ryan and wentssiped for a while about what the thing was.

"It's either extremely precious or extremely dangerous." Hermione said the results of her analysis lying in bed last night.

"Or both." Ryan swallowed the cereal in his mouth and continued (still not used to the bacon for breakfast, why do British people eat so greasy in the morning).

However, without other information, even without knowing the size of the object, this kind of guessing is obviously futile.

……

In the next few days, Ryan resumed his daily class during the day, and in the rest of the time, he would either read books in the library with Hermione.Or work on assignments in the common room with your classmates.It's just that the excitement of the last night tour was too great, so he gave up the next few night tour plans.

During several walks, Lane secretly poured the acid secreted by the tombstone moss on a corner of the outer wall of Hogwarts Castle.

He found that the acid that could quickly corrode a piece of marble the size of a door panel had no effect on the stone walls of Hogwarts.Someone in the previous life analyzed the news that every inch of Hogwarts was protected by powerful protective magic. It seems that the Hogwarts Castle itself is much deeper than the water in the novel.So right now it's all about the heart.

Until the time came to Wednesday of the next week, Ryan decided to go out of the castle.

The Scottish Highlands, where Hogwarts is located, can hardly see the sun when it is close to winter, and it often rains.Even though the house elves were burning the fireplace very vigorously, he still felt like mushrooms were growing on his body after squatting in the castle all day studying.

So even after dinner, the sun has already set.Ryan still decided to go out of the castle to get some fresh air while his homework was finished.

After failing to invite Hermione to go out together (I still have a lot of transfiguration class information to check, and I have to take astronomy class tonight.), and after receiving contemptuous looks from the real. Xueba, Ryan could only shrug and choose someone Walk out of the castle.

Since it was Wednesday afternoon, he decided to go to the stadium to watch the academy's Quidditch team practice.

After all, he has been in the magic world for so long, and he has never seen how the most popular sport in the magic world is played.

When I came to the court, I found that the court was a huge building made of wood and colored cloth. There were three gold poles at each end of the court, with rings on the top.Like the little plastic sticks kids use to blow soap bubbles, except they're each fifty feet tall.

Hundreds of chairs were placed high in a circle of stands, and a few scattered students were sitting there.Looking at the stands, Ryan saw Ron's red hair at a glance.

It's good to have acquaintances, Ryan climbed up to the stands and sat next to Ron.

"Hey, why did you come out today?" Ron asked a little strangely.Because Ryan organized everyone to discuss homework together in the common room, he was very popular, and his relationship with Ron was not bad.

"You always have to come out for a walk?" Ryan replied, and then he looked at the players flying around the field and asked Ron: "I don't know anything about Quidditch. Can you tell me say?"

Ron looked a little excited, because he was usually ignored, after all, he was the youngest son in the family, but he had a younger sister, and the school was overshadowed by Harry Potter's savior halo.So in my heart, I hope that others will recognize him.

"Quidditch is the most popular sport in the wizarding world." Ron cleared his throat, and began. "The rules of Quidditch are easy to understand, though not easy to play. There are seven players on each side, three of whom are called For the Chaser."

After speaking, Ron pointed to the players on the field who were fighting for a bright red ball the size of a football and said, "Look, they are the Chasers, and the ball in their hands is the Quaffle."

Then he pointed to the golden circles on the field and said to Ryan: "Chasers pass the Quaffle to each other, trying to let it pass through any of the three circles below., so that you can score. Every time the Quaffle passes One ring, you can get ten."

"Of course, each team also has a goalkeeper who prevents the opponent's Chaser from throwing the Quaffle into his own goal. Our goalkeeper is Captain Wood."

"Three Chasers, a Keeper, and the rest?"

"Look, there are two balls in the air that can fly by themselves."

Ryan saw two black balls, slightly smaller than basketballs, flying through the air, trying to knock everyone off the broom.However, the Weasley brothers each held a stick similar to a baseball bat and kept hitting the ball in other places (as for how to tell that it was the Weasley twins, the red hair was particularly conspicuous).

"These two are Bludgers. They fly around trying to knock players off their broomsticks." Ron puffed out his chest proudly. "But my twin brother is the best hitter." , they will protect our players from being hit by Bludgers. And at the same time hit the Bludgers to the opposing players."

Listening to the loud sound of the bat hitting the Bludger, Ryan asked a little worried: "Is this thing really not going to kill people?"

Ron scratched his head: "At least not at Hogwarts, the worst thing is to smash your jaw."

This sounds dangerous, Ryan thought silently.

"Finally, there is the Seeker. During official matches, there will be a golden ball with wings that is a circle smaller than Neville's Memory Ball. It is called the Golden Snitch. It flies very fast. The job of the Seeker is to Go back and forth between Chasers, Batters, Bludgers and Quaffles to catch it before the opposing Seeker. If any team's Seeker catches the Snitch, his team An extra 150 points is almost a sure thing."

Seeing the players flying around on the field, Ryan felt that this sport at least looked more exciting than basketball or football. In addition, there were not many entertainment methods in the wizarding world. No wonder Quidditch became popular in the wizarding world. Index number one sport.

Seeing that Ryan seemed a little interested in Quidditch, Ron embraced the joy of Amway's success, and began to introduce to Ryan the origins of the players' movements on the field, interspersed with famous Quidditch teams and the history of this sport. A little historical story.

It seems that Ron is also a capable person, but his brilliance is always overshadowed by the people around him.

Suddenly Ryan saw a thin figure flying across the field at high speed on a broom.

"Is that Harry Potter?"

Ron looked at the direction of Ryan's finger: "Yeah, he is the new Seeker. You can tell others the news. This year he is our team's secret weapon."

"I think the other teams might already know. Because when I was going to the bathroom after class yesterday, I overheard talking about Harry with the two Hufflepuffs."

"So what?" Ron looked a little nervous.

"It's okay, I heard them discuss it as if they didn't believe that Harry could fly at all." Ryan said with a smile.

Time passed slowly in the conversation, and finally it was completely dark.After Ryan and Ron waited until Harry changed his clothes and came out, they went back to the dormitory together to get the textbooks and then went to the Astronomy Tower for astronomy class.
