Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Fairness, fairness, friendship first, competition second...

These beautiful virtues that people endow with sports are actually just people's fantasies, and sports events in reality are full of all kinds of filth under the bright and beautiful appearance.

Quidditch, a sport that burns so much money, was doomed to always be associated with power and dubo from the day it became popular. In the original book, Malfoy's act of becoming the team's Seeker by sponsoring the team's latest broomstick is actually just a routine operation in the Quidditch industry.

As for what happened to the original Slytherin Seeker, no one cared. Even if Draco is a Quidditch idiot, the Slytherin Quidditch team will be much stronger than before with the equipment lead. So it seems that sacrificing the Seekers in the original team is also possible.

Mike is also an old man who has been in society for many years. He nodded to Roger indistinctly and continued to walk behind him.

Originally, the reason why Mike didn't want to join the Quidditch school team was because he was worried that the long training would take up his time to learn magic, but now there is no need to worry.

Since Professor Flitwick opened the back door, it shouldn't be difficult to miss training "occasionally", after all, the powerful and powerful can really do whatever they want.

A large number of Ravenclaw students have already gathered in the selection area of ​​Ravenclaw, and these people have come to participate in the bench selection of the Ravenclaw school team.

That's right, alternate selection.

The youngest Ravenclaw starters are all 3rd graders, and sophomores have to sit on the bench for at least a year after joining the team before they have the chance to become the starters, and they become the starters as soon as they join the team. The people are either gifted or just like Mike and Draco, who opened the back door.

"Okay, our people are finally here. Then this year's Ravenclaw school team selection will begin." Roger clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "I'll talk about the rules first, It's very simple, have you seen those magic circles in the sky? All you have to do is ride your broomsticks and pass through those magic circles one by one, get it. You can choose to use your own broomsticks, and those who don't have one, come to me to get the test Dedicated Sweeping Seven Stars."

Most of the young wizards who came to the test did not have their own brooms. Except for some wizards who were Muggle-born who did not have enough gold Galleons, many half-blooded and even pure-blooded young wizards also did not have their own brooms. After all, the price of a brand new broom ranges from a few hundred to a thousand, which is not something that ordinary wizard families can afford.

Of course, you can also choose to buy those second-hand brooms, but these second-hand brooms have no quality guarantee, and it is certain that the performance and safety will decline after being used for a long time. The reason why Hogwarts is still using those outdated brooms is largely due to the daily maintenance of these brooms by Mrs. Hodge, the broom master.

Mike did not go up to pick up the test broom like the others, but took out his own Nimbus 2001 from the Unmarked Stretch Charm pocket.

As soon as the latest Nimbus 2001 came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all the little wizards around. Everyone exclaimed and squeezed towards Mike, trying to see Nimbus 2001 more clearly.

Mike noticed that even Roger's eyes flashed with some envy. Nimbus 2001, the same broom for the England national team this year, cost 1,800 Galleons, which was far from what Roger could afford.

"Okay! Okay! Everyone dispersed!" Roger still fulfilled his duty as the captain, and dispersed more and more little wizards, "Mike, you go first, I believe everyone Can't wait to see the speed of Nimbus 2001."

Mike did not refuse. He lifted his leg and sat on the Nimbus 2001. The selection of the Quidditch school team was actually not difficult.

The magic circles in the sky are very large, and the distance between them is also very far. Basically, anyone who can master the broomstick can pass the test.

This is not surprising, after all, this selection is actually just a selection of substitute players.

As soon as I got on the Nimbus 2001 Mike, I felt the difference between it and the old-fashioned broomsticks in the flying class. Not only did the magic seat exist, but Mike also felt that there were many invisible magic threads that gently bound his body. . No wonder it dares to sell 1800 gold Galleons, the comfort and safety are not comparable to the sweeping series.

Putting on the goggles, Nimbus 2001 flew up to the sky with Mike at a very fast speed.

During the summer vacation, Mike was already familiar with the operation of Nimbus 2001, so these simple tests would not be difficult for Mike. I saw him traverse circle after circle at great speed, turning in a much smaller arc than those riding brooms of the sweep series on other fields, which fully proves the excellent speed and agility of Nimbus 2001.

When Mike finished the test and landed, the little wizards on the field all gave out warm applause, and some little witches even screamed and were about to come up to hug Mike. Fortunately, there were too many people on the scene, and they couldn't squeeze in.

"It took 50 seconds! All 17 magic circles hit! That's great!" Roger was so excited with a magic stopwatch in his hand that he couldn't help himself. Round 2001.

The second person to participate in the test was Franklin. Originally, he had to queue up slowly to receive the test broom, but Roger probably saw Mike's face, and with a big hand, he shoved a sweeping seven stars to him.

Mike could have loaned him his Nimbus 2001, but Franklin refused after a moment of hesitation. The reason is that if he starts this, other people will definitely come to Mike to borrow Nimbus 2001. If Mike refuses, it will definitely cause resentment from others.

After Mike's performance, Franklin's test was unremarkable, taking off slowly, turning a big circle almost forming a circle, and when he landed, only Roger gave him a round of applause.

The strange thing is that Roger was so excited that he didn't even know that his hand was red. Franklin was hugged by him as soon as he got off the broom.

"Excellent! Excellent! It took 3 minutes to hit all 17 magic circles! You set a record!"

Franklin looked at Mike who was not far away with a puzzled expression. He really couldn't understand why Roger was so excited when he flew so slowly.

Roger didn't explain anything, just patted Mike and Franklin on the shoulders and let them leave first. The results of the selection will not be announced today.

Confused, Franklin had to follow Mike away from the Quidditch pitch.

It took a long time for Franklin to learn why Roger was so excited. Although he flew very slowly, it took him a full 3 minutes to complete the test that Mike completed in only 50 seconds, but he created the fastest record in the history of taking the test with sweeping seven stars.
