The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

On the Quidditch pitch, seven figures wearing silver-green uniforms and riding broomsticks were flying through the air at high speed.

Among them, John is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

Because the other six Slytherin members are all encircling him at the moment.

This was John's first training session with the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Originally, the other players on the Slytherin team were quite unhappy with John, the guy who had inexplicably replaced Captain Marcus Flint as the chaser, and even agreed to show off John during the initial training.

However, when the initial training began, they found that they seemed to have hit a brick wall.

"boom--"

The Quaffle smashed into the goal with the sound of breaking wind.

Slytherin, who was responsible for holding up the scoreboard at the edge of the court, immediately changed the 90-point sign in his hand to 100 points.

Upon seeing this, all the Slytherin players turned pale and looked shocked.

Exactly ten times!

The whole team surrounded John ten times!

As a result, let alone the ball, they didn't even touch the corner of John's clothes once.

There is no way, John's speed is too fast!

Obviously everyone uses the same broomstick, but John's acceleration is much faster than them.

Not only that, John is also far better than other team members in turning, braking and shooting!

What exactly is going on? !

Is this something a person who is new to Quidditch can do?

All the players were shouting in their hearts.

But at this time, John controlled the broomstick and landed on the ground.

Senior Sister Taylor, who had been watching, immediately ran over, handed a towel and said:

"Why don't you continue practicing?"

"It's boring."

John said expressionlessly.

After hearing this, all the team members who were still in the sky lowered their heads.

They felt that John was mocking them, but they couldn't refute it.

But in fact, what John meant by boring was the entire Quidditch game.

In his previous life, he was not interested in any ball games.

Not to mention Quidditch.

If it weren't for Snape's forced order, he wouldn't even be interested in learning about Quidditch.

As for why he can ride the same broomstick faster and more agile than other team members, it is purely because of his physical fitness.

Quidditch is an aerial ball game that requires throwing the Quaffle into the opponent's goal and catching the Golden Snitch to signal the end of the game. Its aerial confrontation is extremely intense.

And this requires quite good physical fitness.

Only people with good enough physical fitness can carry out various operations in a timely manner despite the acceleration.

At present, many of the people in Slytherin are not fully developed, and their physical fitness is naturally not as good as John, who can freely mobilize the second magic pool to amplify his body.

"John! That's great John! I didn't expect your Quidditch talent to be so strong."

Draco also fell down at this time, shouting excitedly.

But when he heard this, John's face didn't look happy at all.

The Hogwarts Quidditch Cup is a series, and the entire schedule covers most of the semester, and in order to maintain his condition, John may need to participate in full weekly training.

This was too much trouble for John.

He still has a lot of things to do.

"Don't be embarrassed, John, you don't have to worry."

Draco thought John was worried about the game, so he persuaded him, "As Slytherin's seeker, my skills are very strong!

And this year, my dad paid for all the members of the Slytherin Quidditch team to wear the latest Nimbus 2001!

It is currently the mass-produced civilian flying broomstick whose performance is second only to the Firebolt!Compared with it, the Sweeping Seven Stars used by Gryffindors is simply rubbish!Even Nimbus 2000, which is used to destroy special forces, cannot compare to it! "

John raised his eyebrows and said:

"So that's why you're Slytherin's Seeker?"

As soon as he said this, Draco's expression froze at first, and then turned red quickly.

To a large extent, John is telling the truth.

Seeker is the most popular position.

It is precisely for this reason that the competition among seekers is the greatest.

There are many people in Slytherin who want to compete for the position of Seeker. If it weren't for Lucius's sponsorship, Draco might not be able to get the job.

"Then...what's the matter? Isn't it because of his reputation as a savior that he was promoted to Seeker by McGonagall? I just..."

Draco tried his best to argue, but he was interrupted by John just in the middle of his words.

"Why do you feel ashamed?" John said calmly, "Since you have already done it, don't be afraid of being criticized. Faced with such doubts from others, any rebuttal you make will be false, because others will not believe it. you.

And what you have done has not violated the rules, and no one will hold you accountable.Then what are you afraid of?

If I were you, when faced with other people's doubts, I would not only admit it openly, but I would also mock them by saying, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want!" "

Draco's mouth slowly opened.

He looked at John in disbelief and said:

"What you said... seems to make sense!"

The light in Draco's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his whole body became excited.

John's words undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for him.

John just chuckled and continued walking towards the auditorium.

Seeing this, Draco hurriedly caught up and said:

"Anyway, John, you don't have to worry too much. As I just said, our broomsticks are much better than other teams! And the Quidditch Cup is a total points system, and every Quidditch match is just a Quidditch match. As part of the Diqi Cup, the cumulative total score will determine the final victory.

So even if we lose to Gryffindor, it won't have a big impact on our championship.

After all, we can still get points from other colleges! "

John's steps suddenly stopped.

He turned back quickly and frowned and asked:

"You said the Quidditch Cup is a total points system?"

"That's right," Draco shrugged. "Any Quidditch match is always a series based on total points, unless you're just playing casually in the apple orchard."

Hearing this, John lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He felt as if his past views on Quidditch were biased.

The protagonist of a single Quidditch match is indeed the Seeker. Compared with him, other players are almost indispensable.

From this perspective, Quidditch is indeed unfair.

But the wizards apparently also discovered this problem.

That's why they use the overall score system.

Under this system, the role of other players is magnified.

Because even if the Seeker gets the Golden Snitch in the first moment of the game and announces the end of the game, it will only win 150 points for the team.

Such a small score is actually nothing compared to hundreds or even thousands of scores on the overall scoreboard.

Therefore, if you want to truly win the Quidditch Cup, not only do the seekers need to be extremely powerful, but other players must also be very capable.

Even if the other players' abilities are strong enough to crush them, they might be able to ignore the Seeker directly.

After all, no matter what, Golden Snitch only has 150 points.

Based on the total points system and the rule that "there is no time limit for the Quidditch game and it ends when the Golden Snitch is caught," John immediately came up with another evil strategy.

If this strategy can be implemented perfectly.

Maybe he can help Slytherin win this year's Quidditch Cup in just one game.

In this way, his subsequent training can be done openly.

Of course, there is one more thing that must be done before executing this plan.

Thinking this, John looked at Draco and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Draco, stop being a Seeker and become a Chaser." John said with a smile, "I will replace you as Slytherin's Seeker, and this time we will definitely win the cup. Got it!"
