HP through the autumn

On the weekend of the second week of school, the Quidditch trials began, and the Ravenclaw trials took place on Saturday afternoon.

It was a sunny day, with wisps of white clouds floating in the blue sky, and there were three gold poles at each end of the Quidditch pitch, shining in the sun.

Cho and Laurie walked to the Quidditch pitch with their brooms, and Laurie bought a new broom, the Comet 260.They walked across the lawn to the crowd on the court. Besides the two girls, there were several boys who were going to participate in today's selection.

Roger, as the team's Chaser, arrived at the pitch today with a wooden crate.

"Hi, Qiu, hi, Laurie." After greeting Qiu, Roger greeted Laurie affectionately.

"How do you do, Roger," said Cho and Laurie at the same time.

Selection officially begins when the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team arrives.

The first thing to do is the selection of batters.None of the three Chasers graduated, while the batters and seekers left two spots vacant.

Qiu gave Laurie a hug encouragingly, and then watched the petite girl walk towards the captain with a group of boys who were a head taller than her...

The picture was so beautiful that she had to watch Laurie's tryout with her eyes wide open.

"Your task is not to drop the broom under the attack of the two Bludgers, and try to hit the Bludgers to others until there is only one person left, who can become our new batter." Captain With that said, let the candidates fly into the air on their own brooms.

Roger opened the wooden crate he brought, and released the two Bludgers that had been struggling inside. These two Bludgers seemed to have been locked up for too long, full of resentment, and flew into the air as soon as they came out , I can't wait to move my muscles.

A ball hit a boy in the air.The boy was caught off guard and was hit all at once, and the broom began to shake violently. Seeing this, the others became more vigilant and raised their bats one after another.Another ball also wanders among these players, trying to knock them all down.

Cho looked up at the sky from below, worried about Laurie.

The results, however, were clearly unexpected.

Laurie was as powerful as she said she was, and besides, she had quick reflexes, and when the first Bludger hit a player, she chased the ball and hit it hard. He went out and successfully knocked down another player.While the others dodged the Bludgers (both those who were hit by Laurie and those who flew by herself), Laurie chased the Bludgers all the way, hitting a player every time she took a shot, and it didn't take long to become the only one. A person who is still flying in the air.

Roger looked at her in awe and said, "She plays really well."

"I think so too." Qiu agreed.

The batter selection was quickly over, and the seeker selection was next.The captain thought for a while, but instead of taking back the Bludger that was flying aimlessly in the air, he took out the exquisite golden snitch from the wooden crate.

"For the Seeker, I will release the Snitch later," he shook the flapping Snitch in his hand, "There are two Bludgers in the air, and the first person to catch the Snitch will be our new Snitch." Looking for a player."

Qiu and a boy next to him looked at each other and nodded.At this time, Laurie had landed on the ground, her cheeks were reddish, as if she had just exercised.

"I will cheer for you!" She patted Qiu on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Laurie." Qiu stepped on the broom, flew up high in the air with a swish.

This was Qiu's first time flying on a Quidditch pitch. There were hundreds of chairs in the surrounding stands. It's not hard to imagine how spectacular it would be when these chairs were filled with people, full of cheers and cheers... …

But the top priority is to find the little golden snitch.Just as Qiu was thinking this way, she suddenly felt a sound of rapidly cutting through the air coming from behind, so she hung on the broom, holding the handle of the broom tightly with both hands and feet, avoiding the Bludgers flying behind her.

"Cho is amazing!" said Roger on the ground to Laurie. "She dodged a Bludger flying behind her with a wonderful sloth roll (1)."

After dodging a Bludger, Cho began to concentrate, searching for the whereabouts of the Snitch.It's sunny today, and the Snitch should be reflecting sunlight.She squinted her eyes and looked around, keeping an eye on the Snitch and the Bludger.

Another player who participated in the selection of the Seeker was also looking around, neither of them found the Golden Snitch for the time being.

It's not very safe to fly in the air, because there are two Bludgers trying to knock them both off the ground, trying to get closer to them again and again.Without the help of a batsman, they can only keep their spirits tense all the time, dodging the flying Bludgers again and again.In the aimless search, the two of them had to pay a little attention to each other to see if the other had found the golden snitch.

Suddenly, Qiu saw the golden light flashing. She looked carefully and was a little disappointed, because it was the light reflected by the golden pole in the sun.She carefully looked at the three poles, confirmed that the Golden Snitch was not here, and then looked at the three poles on the other side of the field.

found it!

Qiu was excited, and took time to glance at another candidate player, who was currently avoiding a flying Bludger.

So Qiu began to speed up suddenly, bringing the speed to the limit that the broom could bring out.Because of the venue, she has never flown so fast at home. This is the first time she has experienced the joy of racing, and everything, including troubles, has been left behind.The wind whistled in her ears and blew across her face.

Long hair fluttered behind her, flying up and down.The damn hair must have increased air resistance, and the next race will definitely have to tie it up.

Everything around her was blurred due to the high speed, as if she was moving rapidly behind her, only the golden light in the field of vision was particularly clear.

As Qiu got closer, another candidate finally caught up, but the gap between them was huge. Unless Qiu failed to catch the Snitch this time, she would win.

The Golden Snitch would not stay in one place and wait for someone to catch it. It deftly began to change its orientation. When Qiu reached the pole, it began to fly towards the middle of the circle on the pole, passing through it in an S shape. There were three rings, so Qiu had to turn around and follow through the three rings, and at the same time slowed down to avoid flying too fast and bumping into the goal.

"If Cho had been a Quaffle, he would have scored 30 points." Roger said with a little regret.

She tried her best to follow at an extremely fast speed, and although the continuous turns made her a little dizzy, she finally caught the Snitch just as it was about to escape again.

Cho flew to the center of the field with the broom, held up the Snitch to everyone, and looked down from the sky.

The faces of Roger and Laurie were indistinct, and they could only be seen applauding for her.The sun was shining on the Quidditch pitch, and the noise on the ground was barely audible in the air. Qiu pinched the golden snitch and watched its small silver wings waving non-stop, shining extraordinarily brightly in the light, which was fascinating.At this moment, she felt very satisfied.

She descended deftly to the ground, and the other candidate had already reached the ground. They shook hands in a friendly manner and praised each other's flying skills.

Laurie said excitedly at the side: "Qiu, I knew you would be fine, don't worry, in future competitions, as long as anyone wants to knock you off the broom or snatch the golden snitch from you, I will definitely kill you." Smash it down!"

She swung the bat she still held in her hand.

Roger's mouth twitched.

"Then my safety depends on you." Qiu said as she straightened her wind-torn hair.

The captain of the team was very satisfied with the skills of the two newly recruited players. After notifying them of their weekly training time, he and Roger put away the Bludgers that were still flying around and left the court.

"I am the woman who wants to become the King of Quidditch." Qiu said while looking at the vast blue sky while holding her Sweeping Seven Stars.

"Who is the Quidditch King?" Laurie thought for a long time, but found that she had never heard of such a person in any major Quidditch team.
