The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Listen, Marcus, this is our pitch."

The Gryffindor captain, Wood, yelled loudly at the Slytherin captain opposite him.

"We were here at least half an hour earlier than you, and we've already started training.

So, reasonably speaking, you should leave now."

Oliver Wood, the Gryffindor Quidditch team captain, was a burly young man, but he still looked small compared to the giant-like Slytherin captain opposite him.

Behind Marcus, the equally burly Slytherin players stood in a row, looking like a low wall.

"Let's be reasonable, Marcus,"

Wood's face was full of anger.

"You know we got here much earlier than you, so Gryffindor has already booked this pitch."

"No, no, no, you haven't,"

Marcus said with a playful smile.

"But I have a note specially signed by Professor Snape.

I, Severus Snape, hereby grant the Slytherin team permission to train on the Quidditch pitch today, to train their new Seeker."

"You've got a new Seeker?"

Wood's attention was diverted.

"Where?

But seriously, it should be a good thing for you that your original big lump—Flint, I think his name was—managed to stay at Hogwarts for seven years and leave, because frankly, a baboon would perform better than him on the pitch."

"Shut your mouth!"

Marcus said, and at that moment, a smaller boy emerged from behind the six tall players, a smug smile on his pale, pointed face.

It was Draco Malfoy.

"Well, this choice seems a little better than a baboon,"

Wood shrugged after seeing Draco.

"You look like Lucius Malfoy's son,"

As two families who had never gotten along, George Weasley immediately recognized who had come out, and then said with a look of disgust on his face.

"How did you sneak onto the Slytherin team?"

"Look at their brooms,"

Cho Chang, who was eyeing the Ravenclaw Seeker position this year, whispered to Hugo and the others at this time.

Reminded by her, the Ravenclaws realized that the Slytherin players, who had been using various models of brooms last year, had uniformly switched to Nimbus 2001s this year.

"Speaking of Draco's father, this is a very interesting thing,"

After hearing George's question, the entire Slytherin team smiled even more smugly.

"Then please take a look at the gift he generously gave to the Slytherin team."

With that, all seven of them raised the brooms in their hands at the same time, seven brand new, smooth, and shiny flying brooms, seven lines of beautiful gold letters "Nimbus 2001", shining in the morning sun, dazzling everyone present.

"The latest model, just released last month,"

Flint said nonchalantly, gently dusting off a bit of dust from the top of his broom.

"I believe it's much faster than the older Nimbus 2000 series.

As for the old Cleansweep Sevens,"

He smiled maliciously at Fred and George, who were each clutching a rather worn Cleansweep Seven 5, "Use them to sweep the floor."

When the Slytherin team members showed off their new brooms, everyone present showed a shocked expression.

For a time, no one spoke on the field, and the only sound was the wind blowing through the grass.

"This is too much.

I think we should think of some new tactics this year,"

Ravenclaw captain Randolph Sprout said to the teammates around him with a grim face.

After all, in the sport of Quidditch, equipment accounts for at least half of the importance.

Faced with Slytherin students with top-notch equipment, the Ravenclaw Quidditch team's chances of winning the championship this year suddenly became slim.

"Veneto, if you're willing to play, I think we might be able to win,"

At this time, Roger quietly walked to Hugo and the others and said to Veneto.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like playing, as long as you can knock them down when facing the Slytherin team, then you don't even have to participate in the House team's training at other times."

It's no wonder that Roger Davies can take over the Ravenclaw team after the current captain Randolph graduates.

Obviously, he was not only able to think of ways to deal with the Slytherin team obtaining top equipment as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also saw the reason why Veneto didn't want to participate in the competition and made some compromises.

After all, Ravenclaw House traditionally places more emphasis on respecting everyone's ideas.

In this case, if some people are unwilling, they are not good at forcibly pulling those people into the team.

Therefore, Roger quickly grasped the key points at this time and proposed a plan to recruit her based on Veneto's ideas.

"If that's the case, I think I can try,"

Veneto said after discussing a few words with Hugo through the Telepathy Network.

Because for Veneto, she would rather spend that time staying by Hugo's side than flying around on the pitch with a group of Quidditch players.

So, after hearing Roger's suggestion, Veneto simply discussed it with Hugo and agreed to his request, and said that she would show her strength in the training later.

Just as the Ravenclaws were whispering about the Slytherin team's new brooms, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out between the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams.

The cause of the incident was Colin Creevey and his camera.

Just as the two teams were spitting at each other, Creevey ran to the side of the two teams with his camera and pressed the shutter.

As a result, when the flash went off, Marcus, who was a little nervous, mistook the flash for a curse, and then fired a hex at Wood on the opposite side.

Caught off guard, Wood only had time to raise his arm slightly to block the curse.

As a result, his arm swelled up as if it had been stung by a nettle.

After seeing Slytherin start using magic, Gryffindor immediately drew their wands and fought back, and then almost everyone on both sides fought together on the grass of the pitch.

After realizing that the situation was not right, the senior students of Ravenclaw, including the captain, began to lead the Ravenclaw team and the students who came to watch away from the fighting Gryffindor and Slytherin students.

After all, various spells were flying around the field, and it was easy to accidentally injure other people around.

At the beginning, Hugo thought that these old rivals might have to fight for ten or twenty minutes before they could stop.

As a result, the fight only lasted for five minutes before it ended.

Because Professor McGonagall arrived on the scene in time and separated them, and then took all the dejected, injured members of the two teams back to the castle.

After the two teams left, the Ravenclaws who had been hiding aside to watch the excitement automatically gained the right to use the Quidditch pitch this morning.

Next, until lunch, Ravenclaw successfully selected this year's new members.

Veneto also obtained the status of Ravenclaw reserve beater due to her exquisite control of the Bludgers.
