As we all know, Quidditch has four positions in this sport, namely, batter, chaser, seeker, and goalkeeper. There are three types of ball equipment involved in this sport, respectively. For the ghost fly ball, the wandering ball and the golden snitch.
In fact, most of these equipment, including the batter’s bat, are not expensive, except for the Golden Snitch.
In the beginning, the Quidditch game did not use this slightly expensive alchemy product, but a kind of bird magical creature called "Golden Flying Man".
According to the book "The Origins of Quidditch" by Kenneworth Whisper, this rule was first introduced in 1269 by Mr. Barberu Breg, the Speaker of the Wizarding Council. . At that time, he put a King Pan into the court and offered a reward of 150 gallons to the player who caught it.
Since then, this rule, which should have been Mr. Breg's improvisation, has gradually changed into a habit. But what is terrible is that because this kind of bird itself is quite fragile, it is very easy to be squashed when caught.
However, due to the popularity of hunting the Golden Flying Man on the court, fans are reluctant to see this brutal and brutal behavior terminated.
So, as the Quidditch event became more and more popular, the number of flying fighters dropped sharply, and it was even listed as an endangered species. And, around the middle of the fourteenth century, when the Wizarding Council declared them to be protected species, the poor flying knights finally escaped the fate of being crushed by the people.
However, everyone likes this rule so much, Quidditch can't lose such a blogger's eyeball content.
Just as everyone was looking for the next bird that could be used to replace the Golden Flying Man, a metal craftsman named Bowman Wright stepped forward.
He is from Godric Valley and is a half-blood wizard who loves magic, craftsmanship, and sports. With the help of the metal craft he is good at, combined with alchemy, he produced a metal ball with wings instead of Jin Fei Xia.
As a result, the Golden Snitch was born, and this Mr. Bowman Wright also appeared on the wizard card of the Chocolate Frog, which was known to every generation of young wizards.
In fact, the Golden Snitch that was first invented at that time was not as expensive as it is now, it was just a small flying ball. But later, with the improvement over and over again, the Golden Snitch added a lot of new functions, and the cost became higher and higher.
Among those new features, what makes it a money-burning weapon is the "physical memory" ability.
This ability to be immortalized on the head can make him remember the first person to touch it with his skin, so as to prevent unnecessary disputes in the competition. They have never been directly touched before they are released in every game, and even the makers must wear gloves to work.
It’s this feature that makes the Quidditch item like the Golden Snitch, to some extent, a **** consumable!
In fact, every seeker can buy a Golden Snitch for daily practice, but they cannot be used for competition. Because in the arena, players who have touched it will be easier to catch them.
Even if this increase in probability is not high, it will seriously affect the fairness of the event.
Of course, Harry also has a golden snitch for practice. After all, he has two local tyrant fathers. Even second-hand golden snitches are not cheap, but this rich second-generation is in Quidditch in Diagon Alley. I bought a brand new one in the boutique without hesitation.
However, he is rich, but the Weasleys don't have the spare money to buy a new Golden Snitch to play with.
"...Today, there is no spotter's position in this small game. Fred and George will be separated as goalkeepers. Harry, you will be a chaser with your old teammates!" Maca rode his Comet 260, hovering in the middle of the big guy, and said loudly, "If we are here, Ginny-be your chaser, today our team's score depends on you!" /
"Okay!"
Ginny was riding a light wheel 2000 flying by Maca's side, but seeing her wearing a protective gear **** her long hair, it was really a bit heroic.
"Ron, the task of keeping the goal is up to you," Maca turned around and said with a smile, "There are only two knockers for a three-person match. It must be much simpler than the full rules, but there is still a distance between them. Yes. Be careful, don’t let Ginny’s efforts go in vain."
"Oh—" Ron tightened the helmet on his head and said nervously, "Got it...I think I will. Um...probably?"
"Hehe, you can figure it out by yourself!" Maca smiled, then turned around and said, "The number of roaming **** is still two, Ginny, Harry, you have to be careful. ! There are few people today, but they are not polite. Even without a batsman, their collision frequency will become higher than usual, especially Harry—be careful of my big stick."
As he said, he shook his batting bat by the way, and then said loudly: "Everyone is in place! Luna throws the ball for the ghost fly, and the two chasers prepare--"
Before speaking, Fred on the opposite side suddenly turned over and stopped firmly between the two door knockers on their side, patted his gloved palm hard, revealing an energetic expression.
The twins have been playing Quidditch for many years, plus they are quite tall, and they are indeed a pair of powerful players. And Harry is also the active ace seeker of the Gryffindor team. After a long time of practice, the skills are naturally unexplainable.
It can be said that today their "little Gryffindor team" definitely has a big enough advantage over Maca.
And Ginny and Ron’s "Novice Squad", even if there is Maca, who was called the "Splitting Demon", is still in charge, the balance of victory is still very likely to go to Harry and the twins. The side is tilted.
After all, Quidditch is also a team sport.
It was the chaser Ginny who scored the goal, and the goalkeeper Ron was the one who guarded the knocker to prevent it from being scored. Maca, a batsman, had no direct means to affect the final score.
"Luna!" Seeing everyone stopped in their positions, Harry and Ginny were also waiting in the middle of the orchard, and Maca gestured.
"Oh-get ready!"
Luna seems to have just come to understand, learning the movements of Madam Hooch at the start of the game, kicking on the ball box. The lid of the box opened with a click, and the belt holding the walking ball was pulled loose by her, and the two walking **** immediately rushed into the air.
At this time, she slowly picked up the red ghost flying ball and threw it between Harry and Ginny.
I have to say that Luna is not a good opening referee, because she obviously threw the ball crooked. In the dull gazes of everyone, the ghost flying ball crossed an arc and flew towards the fruit forest next to it.
Maca beckoned in a dumbfounded manner, and the Ghost Flying Ball flew back again, and soon stopped on top of Ginny and Harry's heads, and then fell suddenly.
"...open, start!" Luna added timely.
At the moment this "beginning" sounded, Harry's firebolt moved first! The strong instantaneous acceleration made him rush to the heights quickly. However, it can be seen that facing Ginny who was vying with him, he has not exerted all his strength.
On the other hand, Ginny was actually just one step behind Harry.
The speed of the light wheel 2000 is also not to be underestimated. I saw a wind whistling by, and it carried Ginny to the ghost fly ball. The long fiery red hair tied behind his head swayed gently in the wind, like a bright flame.
The two went one after the other and staggered next to the ghost ball. Harry grabbed the first round without any suspense, and immediately rushed towards the "rookie team" halftime.
Ginny, who failed to catch the ball, was not discouraged. While trying to raise the broomstick, she turned around beautifully in the air and rushed to Harry again.
Maca can see clearly, he nodded when he saw it.
The first requirement of a chaser is agility, so generally ~IndoMTL.com~ usually has more female players. And Ginny did give full play to her advantages, and the turn could be said to be quite rapid.
Today’s small game is after all Ginny and Ron playing against the active members of the squad. Maca, the person in charge of balancing strength, will naturally take a good look.
He had stopped in the second half and climbed abruptly. He swung the bat before the ball passed over his head and drew it to the position in front of Harry. I just don't know why, he just paused when he hit the ball, it seemed he was looking for a certain angle.
The batsman needs to calculate the lead frequently. Although there are many players who are better at relying on intuition and habit, calculation is indispensable if they want to return to accuracy.
Under Maca's blow, the wandering ball suddenly turned into a fast, straight line, aggressively intercepting Harry's flight path. If he doesn't make an evasive action, it will be too late!
But the training for the Gryffindor team in the past few years has not been in vain. Harry suddenly held the ball and rolled it sideways, and he accurately avoided the wandering ball.
However, the task of that wandering ball is not over yet!
I saw it wiping at high speed next to Harry. It stands to reason that it would be useless if it was avoided. But at this moment, George, the batsman who followed closely to protect Harry, happened to fill in. Above its flight path.
Because of Harry's cover, George couldn't confirm the specific location of the roaming ball in the first time. And when he found out, the distance between him and the ball was already very close!
Years of training and competition have helped him a lot, but he saw that he had made a "counter-attack wandering ball" technical action like a conditioned reflex, and he barely avoided it by turning his backhand on his side.
Even so, this clever wandering ball surprise really shocked him.
