Chapter 73 Quidditch School Team Selection (Part 1)
The poor male student president was besieged for half an hour. When the Gryffindor students received the news and prepared to rescue their student president, the female student president had already left with her girlfriends. The
Slytherin students came faster than the Gryffindor students. They laughed loudly at the poor male student president. For the Slytherin students, it was the happiest thing to see Gryffindor in trouble.
When the Gryffindor students rushed to the scene aggressively, they saw the following scene.
The male student president collapsed in the corner, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly, and tears were still dripping from the corners of his eyes. His clothes were in a mess, and his collar had been torn open. The most outrageous thing was that there were several black footprints left on his vital parts. It was unknown which tough senior sister did it.
The Slytherin students once again surrounded the Gryffindor male student union president with a joking face, laughing at him wantonly, and some of the brave ones even stepped forward to poke the male student union president with their fingers to see if he was dead. The
strong presence of the Slytherins naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Gryffindors. The two groups soon pushed and shoved together, and it seemed that they were about to fight.
Mike and Franklin stood not far away and watched the excitement with a smile. It was interesting to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.
With the unremitting efforts of the Gryffindors, the poor male student union president was finally saved. Several tall and strong senior students relied on their size advantage to squeeze into the crowd and carried him out.
This time, the Slytherin students were not happy either. Some of the hot-tempered ones even took out their wands.
It was not only Mike and Franklin who sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students also gathered near Mike at some point. Seeing that an ordinary dispute was about to turn into a magic fight, everyone was extremely excited.
However, there was a sudden explosion in the crowd on the opposite side, and as a cloud of blue-gray smoke floated up, the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin screamed and ran away.
Mike and others thought that someone had used some powerful spell and were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. But the blue-gray smoke soon floated near them, and an extremely foul smell spread throughout the auditorium. It was a dung bomb.
Mike and Franklin had to cover their noses and leave this place of trouble. It was obvious that the only guys who would use such a wicked thing as a dung bomb were the Weasley brothers.
After finally returning to the Ravenclaw common room, Mike and Franklin breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know how many dung eggs the Weasley brothers used. The disgusting stench not only filled the entire auditorium, but also polluted a large area near the auditorium.
The two were panting heavily when a boy wearing Quidditch protective gear walked towards them. Mike knew this person, Roger Davis, a sports star of Ravenclaw and the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
"Mike? I've been looking for you for a long time. Dean Flitwick recommended you to our Ravenclaw Quidditch team. We have an open interview today. Let's go." Roger sniffed a few times and said, "What's that smell on you? Why is it so bad?"
Mike understood immediately. Professor Flitwick didn't give him the Nimbus 2001 for nothing. The purpose was to let him join the Quidditch team. He smiled bitterly and didn't refuse. He said,
"Okay, I'll use my own flying broom. You should have a broom for the test. My friend also wants to take the test."
Roger looked at Franklin beside Mike with some doubt. He didn't know Franklin. In fact, if Professor Flitwick hadn't called him, he wouldn't even know Mike. The Quidditch team had a lot of training, and Roger, as the captain, had a lot of things to do, so he basically gave up all social activities.
"Hello, I'm Franklin Clinton." Franklin introduced himself to Roger in a dignified manner.
"Okay, let's hurry up, everyone else is waiting for us at the stadium." Roger said this and turned to walk out of the Ravenclaw common room.
Mike gave Franklin a wry smile and followed him.
Mike actually didn't like Quidditch at all. This ball game with a lot of loopholes in the rules is even more barbaric than American football, and it's not at all entertaining.
Many times, the outcome of Quidditch depends entirely on the personal quality of the seeker and the quality of the broomstick. The gap in equipment in the top professional league is slightly smaller, but it's not the case for internal competitions like Hogwarts. Just like Harry Potter in the original book, in the third year, he held the Firebolt dedicated to the professional league to compete with the seekers of other colleges who were holding the Nimbus series or even the Sideswipe series of broomsticks. Harry's flying speed is several times faster than others. If he can still lose, it would be strange.
Not to mention that the Quidditch rules also state that the beater can hit the bludger at the opposing player, which leads to a high probability of injury for Quidditch players. There are also records of students dying in Quidditch matches in the history of Hogwarts. It
is incredible that such a barbaric game is sought after by most wizards around the world. In Mike's opinion, this is no different from the beast fighting in ancient Rome, both are equally bloody and violent.
"We are here."
Roger's voice interrupted Mike's wild thoughts, and they had arrived at the Quidditch field unknowingly.
The first few days of each school year are the time when the Quidditch teams of various colleges recruit players, so today's Quidditch field is very lively.
The stands, which are usually sparsely populated, are now full. Not only old students, but also many freshmen have come to the field to watch the excitement, which shows the status of Quidditch in the minds of wizards.
"Listen Mike, since Professor Flitwick thinks highly of you, then I believe in your ability. There is one starting batsman in the Ravenclaw team, and this position is reserved for you. You just need to go up and fly a few laps." Roger said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "As for your friend, unfortunately he can only be a substitute. We have plenty of substitutes, you can just let him choose a position."
After saying that, Roger made an OK gesture to Mike.
Mike was confused, did he think that Professor Flitwick had already made him a designated player?
