Chapter 71
Chapter 72 Golden Snitch, Here You Go!
……
On Saturday morning, the Great Hall on the first floor.
“Hermione, go to the library after you finish eating. You don’t have to wait for me. I have something to do. I’ll be there in about half an hour!”
After breakfast, Jerry explained to Hermione in advance when passing by the Gryffindor table.
Last Saturday, he and Hermione made an appointment to go to the library to read books this morning, but because of Thursday’s accident, he had to go to the Quidditch pitch this morning to solve the problem of participating in Quidditch training in the future.
However, if the plan goes well, he shouldn’t need to waste too much time there.
The Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts is located between the castle and the Forbidden Forest. The area is the size of several football fields, and the audience seats on all sides are enough for thousands of people to sit and watch without being crowded.
There are three gold poles at each end of the court, with rings on the top, and each of them is more than ten meters high.
Today, the Slytherin team specially applied for the Quidditch venue, so now the venue is only the wizards of the Slytherin team, conducting daily training.
The tall and tall captain Marcus, with two other Slater wizards, is training to pass the ball. The ball in their hands is about thirty centimeters in diameter and bright red.
Occasionally they also throw the ball at the goalkeeper standing in the ring.
On the other side, two Slater wizards were riding broomsticks with short sticks in their hands. They were constantly hitting two black iron **** that kept attacking them. The black iron **** were a circle smaller than the red **** just now.
There is also a Slater wizard below who did not participate in the training. He sat in the stands, and his expression seemed to be not very good.
“Okay, pause for a while and gather here!”
At this time, the captain Marcus, who was passing the ball, also saw Jerry, and quickly waved his hand and shouted to the players.
……
After a while, Marcus introduced to his six team members:
“This freshman Jerry Carmen is also our new Seeker. Welcome!”
However, after Marcus’s voice fell, none of the other six team members raised their hands to applaud, but all looked disdainful.
In their view, it was a joke that a freshman year after year, who had never played a broomstick before, became the most important Chaser on their team.
Even if it was decided by their terrifying Dean Snape, they couldn’t be trusted.
“It’s up to you, if you want to replace my chaser position, I think the dean is confused!”
At this time, the Slytherin wizard who was sitting in the stands before was sullen, and said to Jerry with a mocking expression.
“I also think that the dean is a bit too much this time. Although Senior Terence is not the top Seeker, he has also earned a lot of honors for our Slytherins. We can’t let this be because of last year’s mistakes. The first-year freshman Danzi replaces him!”
Another Slater wizard interjected.
“And next year, Senior Terence is graduating, and this year is his last Quidditch match!”
“Heh, you are standing and talking without back pain. I also know that this is very inappropriate, but if you have the ability, go and tell the dean in person, let’s see if the dean doesn’t use a black magic to send your souls to hell!”
Marcus rolled his eyes secretly as he listened to the complaints of his teammates.
Don’t look at other people’s tall and ferocious looking, but they are still very cowardly in the face of Snape.
It wasn’t that he was really afraid of Snape using black magic to punish him. In fact, this was something that had never happened before. Snape never used black magic to punish students, it was just his psychological effect.
Just like when you were eleven or twelve years old, you met a teacher who made you feel very scary. Even if you grow up in the future, when you think about this teacher, you will still have some shadows in your mind.
Snape was like this. He had a gloomy face all day, exuding a dark and terrifying aura everywhere. The potions class was even more severe. He never showed mercy when he scolded the little wizard.
For every first-year freshman, it is a nightmare existence.
So even though these little wizards were in the sixth and seventh grades, and they were adults, they shivered a little when they faced Snape.
This is an issue left over from history.
“Okay, since it’s the Dean’s decision, it can’t be changed. The most important thing for us now is to spend more time training, and we must train Jerry before the first Quidditch match next month. Become a slightly more qualified Seeker!”
Marcus knows that complaining now is of no use and that he can only win in future games by training more.
“I’m sorry, Senior Marcus, I’m usually busy and may not be able to participate in your training!”
Just as Marcus tried to appease the players, Jerry smiled and raised his hand.
“What did you say?”
The tall and tall Marcus stood in front of Jerry aggressively, his face full of anger.
Good guy, I just said that I need to step up training, but you have no time to train. You are a newbie who doesn’t know anything, so where does your confidence come from?
“I said, I’m usually busy and may not have time to come and train with you!”
Jerry smiled and repeated it again.
Immediately afterwards, he ushered in the seven former Slytherin members, who were violently condemned.
“Stop, stop, seniors, listen to my explanation!”
Jerry slid backwards, dodging the saliva from the seven seniors~www.mtlnovel.com~ and said slowly:
“Look if this works, I know the rules of Quidditch well, and the Seeker’s job is to throw everything away and catch the Snitch.
Now, I’m making a bet with you guys that if I can catch the Snitch in five minutes three times in a row, then I’m not going to come to practice.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll make it clear to Dean Snape myself and quit the team! ”
Hearing Jerry’s words, including Marcus, all seven Slytherin members were stunned.
Catch the Golden Snitch three times in a row within five minutes, are you kidding me?
Even the best Seeker in the International Quidditch game couldn’t catch the Snitch in the opening five minutes.
Unless it is a very lucky day, there is only a little possibility.
“How about it, bet or not?”
Jerry smiled again.
The seven replied at the same time:
“bet!”
In their opinion, this may be because Jerry knew he couldn’t be a Seeker, so he found a reason to quit.
……
five minutes later,
Jerry took his training broom and gave an ok sign to Marcus in the middle of the Quidditch pitch.
Marcus opened the box, took out the golden snitch for training, and let go.
The walnut-sized golden snitch immediately spread a pair of small silver wings, and then quickly fled across the Quidditch pitch.
And Jerry also kicked his feet, turned on the “enhance the brain” function, and rushed towards the Golden Snitch.
“Bring it to you!”
After a few quick turns, Jerry in Superman mode grabbed the Golden Snitch in his hand.
