Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The sun is gradually sinking to the west, looming in the lingering clouds and mist. The golden afterglow turned into beams of light, falling through the gaps in the clouds towards the distant mountains. In the majestic momentum, it also brings a feeling of old age.

The weather was still very cold, the cold wind kept whistling on the Quidditch pitch, and there seemed to be faint rustling sounds from the far side of the Forbidden Forest.

Maca and Charlotte rushed to the court together. He found that the lawn of the Quidditch pitch was obviously cast by magic, and it was still green in the cold winter.

Here you come? Let's get active, the test will start soon. Darren greeted Maca with a smile immediately when he saw Maca approaching.

While Maca stretched his arms and legs, Darren introduced him to the official Hufflepuff players one by one. It turned out that an old team member was about to graduate. After learning about Maca's talent, he simply retired early to prepare for work after graduation.

Maca greeted the team members, and then he found out that besides him, there was another fourth-grade student who would join him in this temporary selection. I don't know whether Maca borrowed the light of the old team member, or the fourth-year student borrowed the light of Maca, maybe it's both!

Okay, let's get started! Darren smiled, then put on a more serious face, and began to explain the content of the test to the two.

The purpose of this temporary test is to recruit a suitable Chaser.

On a Quidditch team, there are three Chasers who pass Quaffles to each other and try to throw them into the opposing team's three goal circles. Every time a Quaffle is scored, you get 10 points for your team.

Chasers need to have a strong tacit understanding, and must be able to avoid the bludgers hit by the opponent's batter-this obviously has a higher level of flying.

Before the Seekers can catch the Snitch, they have to throw as many Quaffles as possible into the knockers in a non-stop battle for base points.

The old player who has retired now plays in this position.

Therefore, this temporary test was divided into three stages according to the selection practice.

In the first stage, the candidate needs to conduct the Quaffle catching and passing test together with two other active Chasers, which tests the candidate's reaction ability and passing accuracy.

The Quaffle is the only one of the three balls that does not move by itself, it is completely in the hands of the Chasers on both sides.

Maca was sitting on the broom, watching the fourth grade student not far away who was doing various flying movements stiffly, and suddenly felt—maybe he could really do it.

It's okay, but the reaction speed is too slow, you have to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times! Seeing the other party flying this way, Charlotte beside Maca said with a smile.

She's the Seeker for the Hufflepuff house team, and she's said to be pretty good.

Go! My little brother, I think it's you! Charlotte slapped Maca hard on the back, almost slapping him off the broom.

Ouch! I said senior sister— Stop rambling, go!

Maca felt that he was like a certain Pokémon in Charlotte's Pokeball, who had to work hard on the field after being thrown forward by her.

Let's go! said the fifth-grade female Chaser Christine, and passed the Quaffle to Maca.

Maca immediately accelerated forward, just in time to catch the Quaffle where it arrived. On the edge of the court, captain Darren kept shouting move, move, urging him to start moving irregularly.

Pass it to me! cried the other Chaser, Charles, who was now behind Maca.

Maca, who was doing a small dive diagonally downward, threw the Quaffle back from his shoulder without looking back,

He had already predicted the specific location of Charles.

Oh! Beautiful reverse pass! Darren shouted excitedly from the side.

It has to be said that Maca's observation ability is indeed very strong. He can keep a close eye on every direction of the Quaffle while grasping the exact positions of the other two at all times.

Give it to me! Christine passed under Maca at a high speed, and when the two were closest, they were only more than 10 inches away.

But Maca still firmly grasped the opportunity, and handed the Quaffle into her hand the moment Christine passed by.

The players on standby on the sidelines couldn't help shouting, and the two old Chasers on the court even exchanged glances with each other excitedly.

Even Christine didn't intend to complete the high-speed switching technique just now, but Maca did it!

The two old team members looked at each other, planning to cooperate with each other to do a move that they didn't want to test at all.

I saw the two people riding a broom quickly approaching, and only made a follow up movement for Maca before flying forward side by side.

Twenty feet apart in twos, weaving forward, passing the ball at high frequency! Charles said.

Maca immediately understood that this was a medium-skilled move in Anthology of Classic Quidditch Moves - the trident offensive formation.

He made a quick move to the left and then spiraled with the other two. While advancing at high speed, the three of them passed the Quaffle back and forth at such a high frequency that the other players on the sidelines almost held their breath.

Until the three of them spread out by leaning over to hold the ball, and drew three arcs in the air towards their different goal rings, the three of them stopped one after another.

Charles smiled awkwardly at Maca. In the final moments of a high-speed pass, he missed it -- dropped it.

Charles! It's because you keep making mistakes that we don't dare to use moves with high technical difficulty in official competitions! Let's see how you face Maca today. You know, he is a freshman! Chris Ting laughed angrily, she pointed at Charles with her slender fingers and shouted loudly.

Maka looked at this heroic girl with short hair, and recalled the feeling of cooperating with each other just now, and felt hearty.

Oh - I know! Next, I must practice hard and set a good example for Maca. Charles scratched his head and laughed.

From the looks of it, Maca had already been assigned by two active Chasers in the first stage.

Captain, I think that's it! It's him, that's right! Christine said loudly to Captain Darren.

Seeing that Darren nodded, Maca glanced at another candidate who was a little frustrated, and felt that accepting this status quo was not in line with the image he was trying to create.

He thought about it, and said to Darren, I think it's better to complete the test, otherwise it will be unfair to the senior who participated in the selection together.

Darren looked back at the fourth grader next to Charlotte, and nodded too.

Well, you're right, Darren said. Then go on to Phase 2 and throw the ball into the hoop.

Of course, it's not as simple as throwing the ball at the goal hoop, goalkeepers are not vegetarians!

The Hufflepuff team's goalkeeper is the captain - Darren Criss.

Hey, junior! Our Captain Darren's level of goalkeeping is average. Take it easy, don't hurt his self-esteem for a while! Charlotte put her arm around Maca's shoulder and said with a smile, without lowering her voice at all. plan.

I heard it all! Darren was at the goal not far away, and now he turned his head and stared viciously with his eyes rounded on purpose!

The test for the seniors of the fourth grade was over soon. A total of ten goals were scored, and three were scored, which is actually not bad for the candidates. Of course, this also shows that Darren's defense is indeed very average.

It was Maca's turn. He held the Quaffle and looked at Darren with hesitation.

Don't worry! The stronger you are, the happier I will be, after all, you are from our Hufflepuff! Darren said to Maca with a smile.

Maca nodded when he heard the words, let go of the doubts in his heart, and rushed to the door knocker on the right.

Darren reacted immediately, and moved a little to the right, guessing whether Maca was about to make a move or just wanted to shake him away.

He could see Maca's flying movements just now, and the smooth and quick small arc movement undoubtedly showed that Maca's flexibility was beyond doubt.

It was getting closer, getting closer, and Maca really started to spin up and spin.

Darren immediately moved towards the middle gate, but unexpectedly, Maca only pulled up, but did not make any lateral displacement.

This is a feint! Use the illusion of small-scale rotation to deceive the goalkeeper and return to the middle goal, but you only need to use the power of rotation to pull back to the height of the side door ring to throw the ball.

The Quaffle was unsurprisingly thrown into the right ring which had become an empty goal, beautiful goal!

It didn't take long for ten pitching drills. Under the defense of Darren, Maca scored 90 points without mercy. If the last ball hadn't been brushed to one side by Darren's fingers, Maca probably would have passed with a perfect score.

Awesome! Darren greeted Maca with a bitter face and flew to the sidelines. He said while flying, This year's Quidditch Cup, you will be the secret weapon of our Hufflepuff team! No, yes Super secret weapon!

I've never seen such a talented rookie! It's just like those rookie monsters in the professional trials!

Senior Darren, don't say that, Quidditch is a team sport, and it's not something that one person can handle the whole game. Maca said with a smile.

The fact is indeed the case, such as the World Cup, there is no shortage of some surprisingly strong elite players, but so what? In the overall score system of Quidditch, you don't win more games to win the championship. Individual heroism is always just a joke.

Even the Snitch, worth 150 points, will be overshadowed by the base score achieved by a high level of teamwork. Not to mention the personal level of the Chaser, tacit cooperation is king.

Next is the final stage. The content of the test is very simple. Try to avoid the batter's attack on you as much as possible!
