Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 85 Quidditch Tactics

Slytherin and Ravenclaw are indeed strong teams. Among them, Scorpius Malfoy is also Slytherin's chaser. He also performed very well, throwing 12 Quaffle balls and winning scored 120 points.

Ravenclaw is also very good, they are very tight with Slytherin, and even surpassed Slytherin by 20 points at the last moment, but Slytherin's seeker caught the golden snitch and won an extra With 150 points, Slytherin defeated Ravenclaw 400:270.

"See, although Slytherin won this game, it was not easy for them to win. Ravenclaw lost due to luck. If they catch the golden snitch, the victory of this game belongs to them .” Polk was still eloquently analyzing the situation of the game to his teammates.

The score between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff is 370:210. According to the scoring rules, Slytherin has a total score of 40, temporarily ranking first, and Gryffindor has a total score of 37, ranking second. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are 27 and 21 respectively.
"The game is a round-robin mechanism. Gryffindor will face Ravenclaw next week. Everyone must be prepared when they go back, recognize their opponents clearly, and must not slack off!" Polk encouraged the players, and finally said: " Tomorrow, I will see if I can apply for a training venue. If possible, everyone must attend the training! I’m going to ask Mrs. Hooch—"

"Pork, I have something to do tomorrow—" Maureen quickly shouted from behind.

"Both of us are busy!" James and Albus shouted in unison.

"Cancel all your business!" Pork ignored it, and ran to the cheering Slytherin students to find Mrs. Hooch.

"He's such a training freak, doesn't he know that it's rude to take up other people's weekend time at will? What if other people have something urgent?" James said angrily.

"Come on, what's the most urgent thing you two can do? Why don't you go to Hogsmeade's Weasley's joke shop to buy some stuff? Mom won't be happy if you don't work like this." Lily pouted beside her.

Albus coughed twice, and said seriously: "Lily, you have to be clear, both of your uncles are in this business, and their pockets are full of Galleons, and your so-called sticking to the business has made money." How many?"

"That's not the point. If you haven't passed the OWLs exam, it will be a joke to go out without a diploma in the future." Lily retorted.

"Oh my god! Our silly girl, have you gotten too close to Rose lately?" James sniffled in a fuss, sniffed twice in Lily's direction, "Why do you have Rose's school on you?" Pa perfume?"

Mo Lin couldn't help laughing beside him.

Lily turned her head and glared at Maureen: "Why are you laughing!"

Maureen shrugged innocently: "No, I just smiled casually."

Lily turned around angrily, ignored them, walked to the corner of the dressing room, and sat on a chair.

Polk quickly ran back excitedly and shouted: "Mrs. Hooch agreed to lend us the Quidditch pitch. Fortunately, I arrived a minute earlier, because the captain of Ravenclaw also went to apply for the pitch just now, but first Come first served, you know, no one is allowed to miss training tomorrow!"

Both Maureen and the Potter brothers looked very depressed.

"I should have cast a full-body binding spell on Pork just now, it only takes a minute." James was still a little annoyed as he walked towards the castle.

Maureen silently praised James' words.

On Sunday, the weather was a little cloudy and there was no sun.Polk dragged everyone to the Quidditch pitch early in the morning. Everyone looked awake, only Polk was in high spirits, holding a flying broom high in his hand, as if holding a Quidditch Like the odd trophy.

"Cheer up, everyone." Pork said with joy, "Early fangs catch the birds!"

"Pork, we ride broomsticks early in the morning like early birds, and your words are unlucky," James complained.

"Shut up! Listen quietly! We are starting to implement the fifth battle plan. You two, Lily and Sweet, may also be arranged for a match to show the enemy's weakness, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and then attack the strong. We must Use the combat thinking of Sun Tzu's Art of War!" Polk said.

"Excuse me? What art of war?" Mo Lin asked puzzled.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War! The Muggle world translated a famous strategy book from the East. I have a translation at home. Human thoughts are great, and both Muggles and wizards can learn from each other!"

Polk is of Muggle origin, his father is a Muggle officer, and there are many military books at home. Polk has learned about Muggle things since he was a child. Since he came from Hogwarts, his favorite thing to do is to mix Muggle combat thinking, study various Quidditch tactics.

Everyone was at a loss, especially Maureen who knew all about Muggles.

Next, Polk spent an hour telling everyone about the tactics to be tried later, and how they came about. Molin was confused, but when it came to Muggle knowledge, Molin seemed to be out of his mind. No more, he could hear Polk saying that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles, but what he thought about was that the grilled snake skin taro just now was really delicious.

"Okay, everyone understands, right? Are there any questions?" An hour later, Polk asked contentedly.

Filia was yawning next to her, Diana and Owen blinked desperately to prevent themselves from looking sleepy, Lily was rubbing her face next to her, and Sweet lowered her head not knowing what she was thinking, Mo Lin's mind kept wandering, James and Albus leaning against the wall, eyes half-closed.

Polk clapped his hands to wake everyone up.

"Oh, have you finished talking about the storm tactics? How should the Chaser and the Seeker cooperate?" James asked in a daze.

"The storm tactic is over. What I just talked about is wing-to-wing tactics! Don't you understand the storm tactic? Then let me explain it again. Specifically, the seeker temporarily assists the chaser, outflanks the opponent up and down, and avoids the opponent. Interference..." Polk seemed to be in high spirits, and continued to talk incessantly, very responsibly.

Everyone stared at James resentfully, blaming this guy for being talkative, and James wanted to slap himself.

Another hour passed.

"Okay! Start training now!" Polk said confidently.

Everyone finally got on the flying broomsticks. The wind on the Quidditch pitch made everyone sober up. No one listened to a word of the stormy tactics that Polk had talked about in the morning. During the training, they did not meet Polk’s expectations at all. Everyone flew around for a while, and the entire stadium was filled with Polk's angry growls.

In the end Polk increased the number of cranky Bludgers to ten, and everyone was on edge as ten restless Bludgers tried desperately to knock them off.

The practice had already become tough after Owen's nose was bleeding from a Bludger, Diana fell from a two-meter fall and Filia was hit on the head with a bag.

"Pork, you don't have to wait for Ravenclaw to defeat us if this continues." James shouted, "Really, we were defeated by you first."

Maureen had been waiting for Polk to end the game all morning, and he had to go to see Arnock to ask about Sir Cadogan, but Polk insisted that everyone train until 11:[-] before letting them go to dinner. .

"Oops, I'm late."

Maureen hurried back to the dormitory, took the disguise hat that James lent him, and rushed directly to the kitchen in the basement instead of going to the hall for lunch.
