Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 73: Mark’s Fake
When Charlie told everyone about Quidditch tactics, he always used common terms, such as eagle head attack formation, and Pokov decoy. .
The tactic that most interested Albert, however, was the Transylvanian feint.
The term was also learned from Charlie because he banned Mark from using Transylvanian fakes during the game.
Albert got the answer by asking Wood beside him.
According to Wood, Transylvania feints are actually pretending to hurt an opponent, such as pretending to punch someone, whether it's punching someone in the nose, elbowing someone's chest, or even stabbing someone with a finger eyes, as long as you don't touch the other side, all fakes are legal.
And Mark's best tactic is the Transylvanian feint, sometimes he will swing a bat to pretend to hit someone, or hit his opponent's chest with his elbow, or even threateningly collide with the opponent on a broom.
No one knows if Mark's next Transylvania feint is real or fake. After all, no one wants to be hit head-on, which is more annoying than being targeted by a Bludger.
After all, being targeted by Bludgers, with the help of his own batsmen, and being targeted by Mark, he can only ask for his own blessings.
This puts pressure on the opponent Mark is targeting.
As for, really hit someone?
Of course, he will be sentenced to violation. Mark's excuses are always valid. His Transylvanian feint failed.
Anyway, it is a violation of the rules. This situation is not serious. At most, it is to give the ghost ball to the opponent. The golfer who takes an elbow or a stick is unlucky.
"Is it true or false?" Albert murmured.
"Haha, look, Charlie, Albert also knows the trick to Transylvanian feints, why don't you? Fakes are all about being real and fake, otherwise how can you scare the other person?" Mark made an exaggerated swing with his bare hands. "Now, when you see me raising the bat, everyone has to stay far away."
"Don't quibble, you know what happened last semester." Charlie warned sternly, "Anyway, you are not allowed to use Transylvania feints in the game, did you hear that? "
"Okay." Mark blinked.
"Did something happen last year?" Albert asked curiously. Several other newcomers perked up their ears to eavesdrop.
"Last year! Before the match against Slytherin, there was a bit of conflict on the sidelines. So Jack was prevented from participating by the opponent, so Mark was on the field..." Danny resisted. Allowing himself to laugh out loud, he raised his hand and made a swing, and explained in a low voice, "Well, Mark used a Transylvanian feint to knock out the Slytherin Seeker with one stick, even though he I kept claiming that it was just a tactical error in Transylvania's fake move, but a frustrated Professor Hooch banned Mark from playing for a semester."
However, Slytherin lost the game because of the lack of a Seeker.
Later, Slytherin's students labeled Mark as sinister. Gryffindor obviously didn't care about this. They were happy to see Slytherin lose the game, even if the means were a little disgraceful, but this After all, it is the other party who does it first.
After half an hour of tactical explanations, the regular players returned to the court to practice Charlie's tactics, while Albert and the newcomers continued to fly in circles on their brooms.
On the way, there was a small accident. Fred, who had exchanged brooms with Albert, was forced to get off the broom shortly after flying.
This time, Fred had to admit that there was something wrong with that broom.
Quidditch training continued until half past ten. There is no way. There are only three opportunities to train every week. If you can't hurry up and train well, it will not be easy to win the Quidditch championship.
Of course, strict training is only for regular players. Charlie's training for newcomers is free and loose, mainly to cultivate their flying skills and enthusiasm for Quidditch.
Without that passion, it would be hard to get through tough Quidditch training. After all, whether it's raining, snowing, or thundering, Quidditch training goes on.
After the training, everyone gathered in the locker room. Charlie commented on the problems that occurred during the training, and recorded the problems. After the next Quidditch training, he will train specifically for the shortcomings.
"Albert flies well." Wood glanced at Charlie as he took off his protective gear and said, "He's a good Seeker."
"Is Charlie going to give up the Seeker spot next year?" Jack exaggerated. Of course he knew that this was impossible, after all, Charlie was the captain, and there was no captain who didn't play.
Several people also agreed with Albert's talent, otherwise Wood would not have said that.
"Your brother is also good." Erin suddenly said, "If we can't find a more suitable ~IndoMTL.com~ next year, we can let them take our place."
"How about having Albert as the Chaser?" Danny suggested, "I think he'd be a good fit too."
"I think Angelina is good, that girl is more suitable to replace you." Mario added, "If she can stand out in the selection next year."
Jack said: "As long as she follows our training, it's fine."
"Ahem." Charlie please coughed, interrupting the discussion, "For some reason, Albert didn't focus on Quidditch, he joined Professor McGonagall's... Well, the Transfiguration Club."
"Transformation Club," Wood asked with a puzzled face, "what is that?"
"Do you see the transformation today?" Erin asked.
"No." Wood answered honestly.
Erin was speechless for a while, then thought about it and explained, "You can understand it as a club where a group of geniuses who are good at Transfiguration is concentrated."
"Didn't he just enter school?" Everyone else was a little surprised.
Well, now everyone can guess Charlie's well-meaning, this is going to leave the team with a backup Seeker.
Although Charlie is a Seeker himself, he is about to graduate. After he graduates, if the team can't find a suitable Seeker, wouldn't there be a ready-made substitute?
Although Albert is busy with the Transfiguration Club, if Wood really can't find a good suitor, I believe that Professor McGonagall will definitely help convince Albert to join the Quidditch team. After all, they all knew that Professor McGonagall's love for Quidditch was no worse than everyone else's.
If Albert found out, he would definitely shake his head and slander: Don't worry, when Charlie graduates, there will be a pig's foot named Harry Potter to take over the position of Seeker.
