Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 28 Quidditch

The weather in the UK has never been very good. It has become very cold in November and the daylight hours have also started to shorten. Mike was woken up by Franklin at dawn. Today they were going to watch Harry's Quidditch debut with Penelope.

Originally, Penelope planned to take them to watch the match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but Mike suggested going to watch Harry's match together, so Penelope had to agree.

Mike is not interested in Quidditch, as he thinks that such a game with so many loopholes in the rules is not worth watching. But strangely, almost all wizards in the world have a high enthusiasm for Quidditch games, and they even hold the Quidditch World Cup regularly.

Wizards who perform well in the Quidditch World Cup will become household Quidditch stars, gain a lot of wealth and fan girls, which is no different from the Muggle world.

What’s interesting is that there is no discrimination based on bloodline in the sport of Quidditch. Whether you are a pure-blood or a Muggle-born, as long as you have good enough skills and are handsome enough, you can become a star.

This also attracted a large number of Muggle wizards to become Quidditch players, but that's beside the point.

By the time Mike, Penelope and the other two slowly finished their breakfast and arrived at the Quidditch venue, the game had already begun. Since it was the savior Harry's Quidditch debut, the scene was very lively, and the number of spectators was almost more than that of previous years' Quidditch finals. Everyone wanted to see if the little savior Harry's talent in Quidditch was as high as his talent in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It is worth mentioning that the commentator of this game is Lee Jordan, who is a good friend of the Weasley brothers. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, this guy's personality is exactly the same as the Weasley brothers, and his commentary is mainly funny, which often makes the audience laugh.

Mike looked up for a long time before he found Harry in the sky, wearing a red and gold Gryffindor Quidditch uniform. Harry was flying aimlessly in the sky on his broom, looking around from time to time, looking for the golden snitch. As a seeker, as long as he could catch the golden snitch, the game would be over.

His movement speed is much faster than other players, thanks to the latest flying broom sponsored by Professor McGonagall: Nimbus 2000. From this we can see that although Professor McGonagall appears to be selfless on the surface, she actually favors her own college.

While Mike was watching Harry's every move in the sky, Penelope started talking to him.

"I heard from other first-year students that you have an outstanding talent for flying. Have you ever considered joining the school Quidditch team?"

Because the scene was very lively, Penelope had to speak close to Mike's ear so that Mike could hear her clearly. Mike could only feel the sweet breath in his ear and turned his head a little unnaturally.

"I'm only a first year, and just because I'm a good flyer doesn't necessarily mean I can be a good Quidditch player."

"Harry is only a first-year student. With him taking the lead, no one can say anything if you join the school Quidditch team. Besides, Professor Flitwick thinks highly of you. As long as you ask him, he will definitely agree. You can also practice with the Ravenclaw team for a few days to see if it's suitable for you. I have a good relationship with Roger Davis, the captain of the Ravenclaw team, so I can arrange it."

Mike could see that Penelope was trying to do him a favor, but he didn't say it out loud, just kept perfunctory. Gradually Penelope realized that Mike had made up her mind, so she stopped persuading him and instead introduced members of the Quidditch teams of various colleges to Mike.

Mike did not plan to join the Quidditch team in his first year. First, he had too many things to do in his first year and did not have time to attend Quidditch training every week. Second, Mike knew very well that this year's Quidditch champion would definitely go to Gryffindor, which was one of the novice gift packages Dumbledore provided to Harry. He was not interested in playing a game that he was sure to lose.

Mike and Penelope were chatting happily in each other's ears, but Hermione, who was sitting not far from them, felt uncomfortable.

After so many days, her anger had almost subsided. She had heard that Mike would also come to watch Harry's game, so she had planned to find an opportunity to reconcile with Mike today. She was even afraid that there would be too many people watching the game and Mike, a lazy bum, would have no seat if he arrived late, so she specially saved a seat for him next to her.

Unexpectedly, Mike, who arrived late, was led by Penelope to the seat reserved for them by the Ravenclaw students. Not long after they sat down, they started biting each other's ears. They looked so close. Hermione became more and more angry, her eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and her cheeks were puffed up.

She wasn't actually jealous, and she didn't have the kind of feelings between a man and a woman for Mike, she wasn't at that age yet. She just felt that her friend was taken away by Penelope, and it was obviously she who became good friends with Mike first, but Mike ignored her because of this woman.

"What's so good about that woman! She's just pretty!" Hermione thought to herself.

While Hermione was still angry about Mike, the crowd around her exclaimed, and following the crowd's gaze, they saw Harry in the sky seemed to have a problem with his broomstick, flying in the sky in twists and turns, as if he was going to fall down at the next moment.

Hermione, who had amazing observation skills, discovered when she looked at Harry that Professor Snape in the stands next to her was also looking at Harry and talking nonsense. She immediately imagined that Snape wanted to kill Harry.

Mike and others on the side were also attracted by Harry's abnormal behavior in the sky. Unlike others, Mike was not worried at all.

He had seen Dumbledore when he came just now. As long as he was there, Harry would be fine even if he was knocked off his broom by Quirrell's curse.

As expected, Harry in the sky quickly returned to normal. Not only that, he caught the Golden Snitch while losing his balance. The game was over and Gryffindor defeated Slytherin.

The scene was boiling almost the moment Lee Jordan announced the result of the match. The savior Harry did not disappoint them and proved that he also possessed superhuman talent in Quidditch.

Mike also stood up and applauded. At the same time, he noticed that Professor Snape's robe was on fire not far away. He was trying to pat his robe to put out the fire. His movements were so big that he even knocked over Professor Quirrell who was sitting in front of him.

Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but sneer with disdain. Snape's acting skills were really bad. It was obviously a trivial matter that could be solved with just a little effort.

After the game, the three did not stay for long, but quickly left the game scene. When the three turned into an empty corridor, Mike asked Franklin to go back to Ravenclaw first, as he and Penelope needed to be alone for a while.

Franklin didn't ask why and left without hesitation. But before leaving, he shook his eyebrows at Mike in a funny way and gave him a thumbs up secretly.

I'm sorry everyone!

There is a bug. Penelope should have been in the fourth grade when Harry was in the first grade, and she was not yet the head of Ravenclaw at that time.

Each Hogwarts house selects one boy and one girl from the fifth grade of the year to serve as the male and female prefects, and they continue to serve in the sixth and seventh grades. (Two from the fifth grade, two from the sixth grade, two from the seventh grade, and after the seventh grade graduates, two more from the fifth grade, and so on).

I have already modified the previous plot. This is just a small bug, so you don’t have to read it from the beginning.
