A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

Hufflepuff's disastrous defeat made most of the Hufflepuff students present leave in despair.

Ian, Ernie and Justin, seem to be the few exceptions.

They stayed on the Quidditch pitch as neutral spectators to watch the eleven o'clock match between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Although ostensibly a neutral audience, they were more supportive of Gryffindor due to Ernie's personal grudges.

Ernie MacMillan was still ranting about the previous game: "O'Connor's performance was a disaster (he no longer calls the Hufflepuff captain by her first name, but her surname instead). She was visibly scared at the end and she was dodging the ball...if she could snatch the Snitch away from that Ravenclaw girl..."

"There are no ifs on the Quidditch pitch, Ernie!" Ian reminded in a low voice, "If we lose, we lose."

"She should have given up her position as Seeker a long time ago. Ian, if it were you, you would never lose to that Ravenclaw girl!" Ernie looked indignant.

"Don't say that." Ian shrugged.

The intensity of the Quidditch game was much higher than he imagined.

Although this is just a competition between colleges.

Ian didn't have the idea of ​​"I can do it myself", and he was even a little glad that he didn't listen to O'Connor and join the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

Otherwise, among the dejected Hufflepuff players on the field, there will be one more of me.

……

The next game is about to start.

An evenly matched rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin is obviously more popular than a less topical duel between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw with a huge disparity in strength.

What's more, this game is also the Quidditch debut of star player Harry Potter.

Ian, who was bored and looking into the auditorium with a telescope, saw many teachers, including Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell, also coming to watch the battle.

This is a rare thing. It is said that except for Professor McGonagall, who loves Quidditch, other teachers rarely visit the Quidditch pitch.

There was a little argument between Ernie and Justin.

On the subject of Harry Potter.

Justin believes that Harry Potter will definitely be a genius on the Quidditch field. After all, he is the youngest seeker at Hogwarts this century, and he can definitely take charge of this game.

But Ernie heard the rumors from nowhere and thought that Harry Potter was artificially hyped.

"Although it's a bit rude to say this," he said loudly, "but I don't think he is as strong as everyone boasts. After all, no one has seen his game live, right? I think he is absolutely the best in this game. It will be 'revealed'. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Ian is definitely more supportive of Justin.

Harry Potter's various performances were indeed far below Ian's expectations:

His academic performance was not ideal.

In almost all subjects, performance is only above average.There is definitely no need to ask for news about this aspect. After all, he has received a lot of attention and everyone is rushing to spread news about him.

Especially in the Potions class, it is said that he was one of the students who was criticized by Severus Snape; even Professor Snape would pull him out as a negative teaching material in Hufflepuff's class.

In addition to his academic performance, he has not shown any leadership or innovation abilities.

If I really had to use two simple words to evaluate it, it would be "mediocre."

To be honest, he looked too much like a regular guy.

You must know that in Ian's eyes, he is the protagonist, but in the eyes of others, he is the "savior" who defeated the most powerful dark wizard at the age of one.

Except for the performance on the Quidditch pitch, of course (rumoured).

It is said that Harry Potter's training performance in the Gryffindor team was quite good, and Gryffindor regarded his Seeker as a secret weapon (although this secret weapon has long been spread throughout the city) Everybody knows).

Therefore, controversy about him can be seen everywhere.

Ian did believe in Mr. Potter's skill as a seeker.He felt that his previous judgment might be biased, and Harry Potter might not be the versatile protagonist he expected.

Harry Potter should be the standard Western protagonist:

His academic performance is average, but he has a lot of points in sports. He is courageous and fearless; and his main focus is to break ten games with one hand...

……

The game started. Due to the grievances between Gryffindor and Slytherin, the game between the two houses entered a fierce state from the beginning.

The Slytherin players were very aggressive. Their captain, Marcus Flint, used his bull-like body to viciously collide with the Gryffindor players many times.

The Snitch appeared early and was discovered by Gryffindor's Seeker Harry Potter.But a vicious collision by Flint caused serious chaos on the court, and in the chaos the Golden Snitch disappeared.

However, Slytherin's chasers seem to be better than Gryffindor's.

The game lasted more than 20 minutes, and Slater currently leads with a score of 60:30.

"It seems that Slytherin is even stronger," Ernie commented. "Besides that vicious collision, Potter doesn't seem to have many scenes."

"Gryffindor will definitely win!" Ian said without thinking.

"Then let's bet ten Knuts?" Ernie suggested.

Gambling is considered a traditional culture in England, and this is no exception in the wizarding world.

"Of course," Ernie offered to give him money, and Ian certainly had no reason to refuse.

"Believe in Harry Potter!" Ian said confidently:

"Believe Harry!"

"Harry is the pride of Gryffindor!"

"Potter seems to have encountered some problems while flying?" At this moment, Ernie put down the brass telescope, "He seems to be unable to control his broom. Is he too nervous?"

"Maybe he's showing off some difficult moves?" Ian guessed.

"Let me see," Justin took Ernie's brass telescope, "it seems real! His broomstick seems to be out of control."

There were also some related discussions around this time, and many people discovered the same thing that happened to Harry Potter.

"No way..." Ian frowned.

He quickly took the brass telescope from Justin's hand.

But when he focused on the sky——

I saw a figure in the distance, falling straight from a height of two hundred feet.
