Chapter 57 Quidditch Match and Christmas
It was November, and the weather was getting colder. Andy also received new clothes sent by his family. It was said that the little girl Isabel picked them for Andy personally.
You have a conscience!
Andy decided to wait until Christmas to go home and get close to Isabel.
I don’t know if this little girl has become unfamiliar with me after not seeing each other for a few months.
In early November, the first Quidditch match at Hogwarts was about to begin. According to the competition system, the first game of this year was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.
The meeting of old enemies!
Before the game started, sparks flew between the two colleges.
Gryffindor and Slytherin were not getting along well, not to mention that there were rumors that Harry and Ron attacked Malfoy with dark magic, which made the atmosphere between the two colleges even more tense.
Just yesterday, the two colleges almost had a college war in the hall.
If Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape had not appeared in time, Gryffindor and Slytherin would really fight.
The first-year wizards were all very nervous, but the seniors were used to it.
After all, this kind of thing happens several times a year.
"Is Quidditch really that fun?" Hermione casually flipped open a book about Quidditch, but she couldn't get interested.
"You'll know when you read it."
Andy said, "I don't like it very much. It's okay to play it occasionally, but I'm not as crazy as those people."
In fact, wizards like Andy who don't like Quidditch are heretics in the magic world. Wizards have very few entertainment options, and the magic world doesn't even have TV.
Not to mention game consoles and computers.
"Let's go!"
Andy stood up and said, "The game is about to start, let's go and take a look!"
"Yeah!" Hermione nodded.
When they arrived at the Quidditch field, it had become a sea of joy.
Before the game started, the wizards were already excited, and banners cheering for their own colleges were pulled everywhere.
Andy and Hermione came to Ravenclaw and found a position with a good view to wait for the game to start.
As the players from both teams entered the field, the game started soon.
Harry Potter, who was only eleven years old, seemed a little weak among the senior students, but he flew really well, at least better than Andy.
Watching the game on the field is completely different from reading the news of the game in the newspaper. In such a lively environment, Andy gradually realized the fun of the game.
The little witch was also very happy to watch it. Whenever the two sides scored a goal, the little witch would applaud and cheer.
"Hey, Hermione, do you want some snacks?" Andy handed the snacks to Hermione.
"When did you buy it?"
Hermione looked suspicious, "You didn't sneak to Hogsmeade, did you?"
Pah!
Andy flicked Hermione's forehead in annoyance, "I bought it with an owl. Who still goes out to buy things, and it's not tiring!"
To be honest, online shopping in the magic world is better than the Muggle world of this era.
After all, owls are good friends of wizards.
"Oh!" Hermione covered her forehead in grievance. Even snacks could not comfort her short-circuited brain.
The game gradually became white-hot.
The overall strength of the Gryffindor team was stronger than that of Slytherin. Gryffindor had already led by several goals in just 20 minutes.
However, Slytherin had already fully demonstrated the word "unscrupulous".
When Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor received the ball, two Slytherin chasers flew over to double-team her, forcing Angelina to hit her head on the stands around the court.
"Foul! Slytherin adopted a despicable double-teaming tactic, which is a foul!" Jordan Lee, who was in charge of the commentary, yelled excitedly, not knowing whether it was a tactic or a foul.
As the game continued, Gryffindor's goalkeeper Oliver Wood was also knocked unconscious by a bludger.
Without the goalkeeper, Slytherin's score quickly surpassed Gryffindor.
Andy glanced at Harry.
Harry's broomstick is the latest model of Nimbus 2000, which has a certain amount of protective magic.
However, Quirrell in the original book can quietly interfere with Harry's broomstick without anyone noticing.
Obviously, Quirrell is not as incompetent as he appears.
Fortunately, Quirrell has been expelled from Hogwarts, and there is no problem with Harry's broomstick, so he quickly caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game.
"It seems that Gryffindor won the game."
Andy looked at Hermione and smiled, "How is it? Do you think Quidditch is interesting?"
"I think it's quite interesting."
Hermione was obviously a little excited, "The game is very intense, and I have never seen this kind of flying in the sky."
"The next game is our Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff, let's watch it then!" Andy said.
"Okay!" Hermione responded happily.
...
In the next few weeks, Andy returned to his normal study life.
Classes, library, and magic practice are a straight line.
Sometimes, when it was late at night, Andy would go to the restricted book section and read a few books secretly.
However, Dumbledore never appeared again, and I don’t know if he allowed Andy to do this.
Of course, Andy never used the Great Summoning again.
After all, jumping back and forth looked a bit silly.
Although Andy really wanted to discuss the Obscurus problem with Dumbledore, there was actually no rush on this issue.
Even if Dumbledore really said something, it would be difficult to study it with Andy's current ability.
In addition to occasionally thinking about the future path of magic, Andy is more interested in enriching himself now. Learn more magic knowledge and master more spell-casting skills.
It's December and the weather is getting colder.
It snowed a few days ago, and Andy also added a sweater to his wizard robe.
"Time flies so fast!"
Sitting by the fireplace in the lounge and warming up, Hermione said with emotion: "Andy, how do you wizards celebrate Christmas?"
"Probably similar to you Muggles!"
There will be a holiday tomorrow, and Andy doesn't know whether he wants to go home more, or whether he wants to leave the Hogwarts library more.
But when he thought of his parents and little girl at home, Andy was still full of expectations.
"Don't forget to write to me during the holidays!"
Hermione gave instructions and then asked: "By the way, do you want to read some Muggle books?"
"Forget it!" Andy shook his head quickly.
This time when Andy went back, he wanted to ask Kyle and Helen about some magic that was not taught at Hogwarts. He had no time to read Muggle books.
I have read enough of that kind of book in my previous life.
