Chapter 28 Quidditch

The weather in the UK has never been very good. It was already very cold in November, and the daylight hours began to shorten. Mike was woken up by Franklin at dawn. Today, they were going to watch Harry's first Quidditch match with Penelope.

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

Mike was not interested in Quidditch. He felt that this kind of game with many loopholes in the rules was not worth watching. But the strange thing is that 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 fans, which is no different from the Muggle world.

Interestingly, there is no discrimination based on blood in the sport of Quidditch. Whether you are pure blood or Muggle, as long as you are skilled enough and handsome enough, you can become a star.

This also attracted a large number of Muggle wizards to become Quidditch players. Of course, this is a digression.

When Mike, Penelope and the other two slowly finished their breakfast and came to the Quidditch venue, the game had already begun. Since it was the first Quidditch show of the savior Harry, the scene was very lively. The number of spectators was almost higher than the Quidditch finals in previous years. Everyone wanted to see whether the talent of the little savior Harry in Quidditch was as high as his talent in defense against the dark arts.

It is worth mentioning that the commentator of this game was Lee Jordan, who was a good friend of the Weasley brothers. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. This guy's temperament is exactly the same as that of the Weasley brothers. Even 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. At this time, Harry was flying aimlessly in the sky on a broom, and from time to time he looked around, looking for the trace of the Golden Snitch. As a seeker, as long as he can catch the Golden Snitch, the game will 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.

When Mike was watching Harry's every move in the sky, Penelope started to talk to Mike.

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

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

"I'm only in my first year, and I may not be good at Quidditch just because I'm a good flyer."

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

Mike could see that Penelope wanted to do him a favor, but he didn't say it, just kept perfunctory. Gradually, Penelope also understood that Mike had made up his mind, so she stopped persuading him and introduced members of the Quidditch teams of various colleges to Mike.

Mike didn't plan to join the Quidditch team in his first year. First, he had too many things to do during his first year, and he really didn't have time to attend Quidditch training every week. Second, Mike knew very well that this year's Quidditch champion must be Gryffindor. This was one of the novice gift packages provided by Dumbledore to Harry, and he was not interested in playing a game that he was sure to lose.

Mike and Penelope were whispering and chatting happily, 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 this time, so she planned to find an opportunity to make peace with Mike today. She was even afraid that there would be too many people watching the game and Mike, a lazy guy, would have no place to sit if he came late, so she specially saved a seat for him next to her seat.

Unexpectedly, Mike, who was late, was led by Penelope to the seat reserved for them by the Ravenclaw students, and they started whispering to each other's ears not long after they sat down. They looked so close.

The more Hermione thought about it, the angrier her two almond eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and her cheeks were even more bulging.

She was not jealous. She did not have the kind of feelings between men and women for Mike. She was not at that age yet. She just felt that her friend was taken away by Penelope. It was obviously her who became good friends with Mike first, but Mike ignored her because of this woman.

"What's so good about that woman! Isn't she just pretty!" Hermione thought to herself.

While Hermione was still angry about Mike's matter, the crowd around her cried out in surprise. Following the crowd's gaze, they saw that Harry in the sky seemed to have a problem with his broomstick. He was 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, found that Professor Snape in the stands next to him was also looking at Harry, and he was still talking. In an instant, she thought 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 saw Dumbledore when he came just now. As long as he was there, Harry would be fine even if he was knocked off the broomstick by Quirrell's evil curse.

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

Almost at the moment when Li Jordan announced the result of the game, the scene was boiling. The savior Harry did not disappoint them and proved that he also had superhuman talent in Quidditch.

Mike also stood up and applauded. At the same time, he also noticed that Professor Snape's robes were on fire not far away. He was trying to slap his robes 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 small matter that could be solved by a spring.

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. He and Penelope needed to be alone for a while.

Franklin did not ask why, and left without hesitation, but before leaving, he shook his eyebrows at Mike in a funny way and gave a hidden thumbs up.

Sorry everyone!

There is a bug. Penelope should have been in the fourth year when Harry was in the first year, 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 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 from the fifth grade, and so on.)

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