everyone loves quidditch

After the All-Star Game, the atmosphere of the playoffs gradually became stronger. The Comets' performance this season has been consistent, ranking sixth in the league. If they are not careful, they will fall out of the top eight and miss the playoffs. If they fight hard Maybe make it into the top four.

Graf fell in love with a rookie Chaser Ervin Lyon in the free transfer market. After reporting to the Comets, he followed him for two days of training. Prince was very interested and took him aside to do individual training for him.

Sanger is old but his eyes are bright, "Graf, do you know when I was the most brilliant?"

Graf didn't look back, "When I was digging Ulysses and me."

Sanger, "..."

Graf, "You've done this before."

"I don't understand the elderly at all." Sanger shook his head, "I just want to say that as a coach, you need to have a sharp eye, be good at discovering newcomers, be good at discovering rookies, and then bring the talents of these rookies to your own team. Glad you're so perceptive."

Graf said, "Every coach has his own wild way. For example, you are optimistic about Seven Hawker, but if it is me, I may not be able to make such a big bet. I like good brains and basic skills. Like Ervin Lyon, you can see his defense and you know he's playing with his head, and before him, I always thought Chasers had no brains..."

Sanger didn't speak for a while, watching Prince, who was busy, guiding Irwin, "Prince doesn't have much time."

During the training break, Seven snuggled up to Prince. The former Prince of the Tornado team saw him as soon as he turned his head. He was a little amused, so he arranged a few sets of training for Erwin, and dragged Seven into the players' stand.

"Prince, are you retiring too?"

"I am the same age as Colin Bray, and the peak does not last as long as him. I will be 39 years old at the end of this season."

"...As soon as the comet reached its peak, everyone left one by one."

"You have to accept such a parting." Prince smiled gently, "Life is not all about Quidditch, Graf wanted to open a bar, Klin wanted to be an Auror, and I wanted to stay in school and become a professor ...Oh yes, Yuli wants to become a herbalist and write a book. So, retirement will not be the end, it will only be the beginning."

"Yuli became a herbalist?" Seven caught the point at once.

"Yeah. Do you remember Vivian, his personal physician? In fact, Yuli envied her very much, because she cultivated herbal medicine by herself, opened her own clinic, and almost fulfilled all of Yuli's longings. I thought they would be together. "

When he heard about Vivienne, Seven instinctively resisted, but when he heard that Yuli was not with her, he grinned again.

After a while, Seven suddenly became depressed again, "I don't seem to like anything except Quidditch."

"This is a bit difficult." Prince secretly laughed, "Then do you have someone you like, and you can accompany her to do things she likes."

Seven was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

Prince was puzzled, "You are the most valuable player in the league. Every year, so many witches line up to buy tickets to watch your game. You are 27 years old. Doesn't anyone make your heart flutter?"

This time, Seven was silent for a longer time, so long that Prince felt a little uneasy, and then Seven said in a very soft voice, "There is a person, when I see him, I feel very at ease; I can't see him When I feel sad."

"Who? Have you ever confessed to her?"

Seven bit his lip, "No, he never told me that he likes me, and he has already left my world."

Prince was so scared that he almost fell off his chair. He checked again, "'he'? You used 'he', did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard that right."

"Is he...is..." Prince didn't dare to think about that guess, and finally asked dryly, "Ulysses?"

With only Ulysses Griffith retired last season, Prince hit the mark right away.

Seven nodded, but this time he admitted quickly.

Prince thought it would be better not to ask!

"Severn, are you sure? You are the best partner, and you should not confuse some feelings."

The statement sparked Seven's resistance, and he denied, "I'm not confused!"

Prince swallowed, "Severn, relationship is a matter between two people. You like Yuli, so what about Yuli?"

Seven said, "I think he also likes me a little bit, but he never told me."

Prince calmed down. As one of the few chasers who Graf evaluated as "playing with his head", he was too good at grasping the key points in an instant.

"Listen, Seven." Prince said seriously, "The world of Quidditch rejects homosexuality, even in the entire wizarding world, it is not so friendly to homosexuality, even if it is like Professor Dumbledore, There have also been gossips. I know Ulysses too well. If he really likes you, he will never say anything to you that will affect your career. He cannot and will not be so selfish."

"If, I mean, if you think Yuli likes you, then that's the only reason why he didn't tell you." Prince wiped his face, "Severn, you must not live up to such expectations. "

After training, Prince was not in the mood to give Erwin more training, so he went to find Graf secretly.

Graf thought it was something, and after listening to Prince's oblique inquiry, he admitted it openly, "You actually figured it out."

"I didn't see it, it was Seven..."

Prince told Graf about the conversation between him and Seven, and the latter was shocked from ear to ear. Ravenclaw's paranoia and Hufflepuff's awkwardness were reflected in all aspects. Graf could only smile helplessly in the end. .

"Prince, you and Yuli are really the same kind of people, you understand what he is thinking." Graf said, "He told me before retiring that he hoped that Seven would have a badge and the respect of the world, and enjoy glory and success. I hope that Seven has the best teammates and opponents. No matter the past is good or regretful, he will not look back or stop. He hopes that Seven will be fearless, never urgent, and move forward calmly. He does not want to be a stumbling block for Seven .”

Prince, "This is Yuli's expectation."

Graf nodded.

Prince asked again, "So do they still have a chance?"

"Yes, there will always be a day when Seven will retire, and there will always be a time when people will no longer pay attention to them. Seven will not disappoint Yuli's expectations, and Yuli will not disappoint Seven's expectations."

Prince finally laughed.

Many years later, when Seven retired.

The Comets are doing well. Elvin Leo is an excellent chaser. He is not amazing at first glance, but as time accumulates, he finds that he uses the smartest, most correct, and most basic routines. The coach arranges the most correct thing.He may not be gorgeous on both ends of the offense and defense, but he is stable enough.Even Graf said that such basic skills can only be practiced by truly intelligent people.

As a result, people came and went, newcomers replaced the old ones, and Seven, who had carried the golden generation of the Comets for more than ten years, finally announced his retirement.

His condition has not declined, but the perfect transition of the Comet team made him unwilling to fight. Graf said that Yuli was digging herbs in Northern Europe. Still on the Comets.

Some things are predestined, we have to follow Merlin's guidance.

Seven came to Northern Europe alone. He always felt that he could meet Yuli at the next intersection. The process was so long that Seven could carefully recall every detail of partnering with Yuli, from the initial hostility to the later. intimate.

In the few years since Yuli left, Seven would glance at the stands every time he flew to the sky for a match. Subconsciously, he always felt that Yuli would come to see him, hid in the crowd, and silently commented on himself.But the rational part of his heart told him that Yuli was a Ravenclaw, and since he decided to leave, he would not drag his feet. Paranoia was imprinted in the bones and flesh of Ravenclaw.

I'm not bad either. Persistence is also engraved in Hufflepuff's blood.

Ravenclaws ask questions the Ravenclaw way, and Hufflepuffs solve them the Hufflepuff way.

Half of country A is near the sea and half has mountains, and wizards have gathered on the other side of the mountains for many years. Seven thinks that Yuli may be in this place—he actually knows Yuli very well, and their tacit understanding has already been deeply rooted in his bones.

He traveled for four months, and felt that Yuli had been there every time he went. Sometimes he chatted with people, and there were always Yuli's shadows in a few interesting stories and tourists from the other party's mouth.

This city is not big, wizards occupy seven or eight streets from the back door of a certain bar, use magic to open the porch of the space, and you can enter the world of wizards.

The sky was still gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain soon. Seven was familiar with London's rainy climate and was no stranger to it.He walked around alone, and every time he went to a herbal medicine shop, he would look around. Sometimes he saw familiar herbs, but most of the time he returned in vain.

He walked from this street to that street, and it still rained.The wand was placed in a convenient position, and Seven was a little unfamiliar with it.The Quidditch player who has been flying on the broom all the year round is not used to this thing. He smiled and waved his wand to cast magic, but unexpectedly failed.

"Giggle."

The witch's laughter came from the side, and Seven looked back. A head poked out from behind the checkout counter of a herbal medicine shop. It was a teenage girl. When she saw her turn, she covered her mouth and asked awkwardly , "Do you have anything you want to buy, I have the best herbs here."

Seven shook his head, then got into the shop, "Can I hide from the rain?"

The girl nodded, "Okay, the boss will be back in a while, and you can still chat with him... Ah, when you talk about him, he will be back."

The wind chime at the door rang, and Seven subconsciously looked back. For a moment, his heart beat violently, his movements were stiff, and he couldn't even control his expression.The movements of the limbs preceded the consciousness, just like every movement on the field, without thinking, out of instinct, Seven grabbed the opponent.

"Yuli!"

"……Severn?"

Never wanting to miss it, never wanting to let go, Seven hugged Yuli tightly, whispering in his ear, "Yuli, I like you."

Yuli thinks this is really an absurd dream, but this embrace is so real, it doesn't look like a dream when it's real.

"Yuli, let's be together."

As the greatest hitter in the history of the Comets and even Yingkui, Ulysses, who can be called the command center of both offense and defense, has a short-circuited brain. He can't figure out the situation, so he can only respond to the hug with a backhand, "If this is a dream , I don't want to wake up."

"I don't want this to be a dream." Seven angrily rubbed against Yuli, such a hug made him feel happy, "This is not a dream either, Yuli, I miss you so much, I don't want to wait any longer, so I retired, I'm here to find you."

retired?

Yuli caught the key word, "Are you retired?"

Seven said, "Yes, I have retired, Yuli, you have no chance to avoid me anymore, I have given Quidditch more than 30 years, and I will give you the rest of the time."

Seven kissed Ulysses fiercely, "Also, give me your time."

In this era, you will not be attached to someone alone, but you will not disappoint someone alone.

There is always a night sky, worthy of the fall of a comet.
