Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 157 This wave is stable

  It was approaching eleven o'clock, and the teachers and students of Hogwarts went to the Quidditch pitch to watch the game between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

   Albert and Lee Jordan followed the flow of people to the Quidditch stadium. Although they carried binoculars, they still chose to go to the highest terrace, where they could see the game better.

  However, there are quite a few people who have this idea. Albert met a few acquaintances in the stands, and after greeting everyone with a smile, he joined the discussion about the possibility of the Gryffindor team winning the Quidditch Cup.

  Actually, most Gryffindor students still have a sense of honor in the house, and they also hope to see their house break the Slytherin house's monopoly on the house cup and Quidditch trophies.

  This time is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

   As long as they win this game, the Gryffindor team can win the Quidditch trophy with a complete victory. Moreover, the points of Gryffindor House can surpass the points of Slytherin House in one breath, and take the first place.

  The actual situation is always different from what everyone guessed. The Ravenclaw team is still very strong. After the game started, it was able to temporarily lead the Gryffindor team with a slight point advantage.

   Of course, this situation is only temporary.

  Charlie was almost obsessed with chasing the Quidditch trophy. His devilish training for the players was not in vain. The Gryffindor team also began to show their muscles, and soon evened the scores of the two sides and surpassed them.

  However, the performance of the Ravenclaw team was even more amazing than everyone thought. They only allowed Gryffindor to lead by ten minutes before regaining their previous advantage.

   The scores of the two teams are catching up with each other, and no one wants to back down. This game eventually turned into a tug-of-war between the two sides.

  Watching the fierce confrontation on the field, the cheers of the audience in the stands continued, and even Albert could feel the unique charm of the Quidditch game.

  Although Albert's own perception of Quidditch can only be regarded as average, it does not affect him from being infected by the tense atmosphere of the scene.

"The game was very exciting. The current score between the two sides is 100:110. Ravenclaw is temporarily leading." Since the commentator is a student of Ravenclaw, when the Ravenclaw team is temporarily leading, the words are full of A sense of pride.

"Currently, whoever can catch the Snitch first will win the final victory." The commentator yelled loudly, "The Seekers from both sides are entangled with each other, and it seems that they don't want to let the opponent let go. Find the Snitch."

  High-intensity and high-intensity matches mean that the players' physical strength is exhausted very quickly. Now it is the halftime break, and Charlie obviously wants to take this opportunity to adjust his formation and tactics.

   "Ahem, my throat hurts a bit." Lee Jordan turned his head and asked hoarsely, "Did you bring any water?"

   "There's no water, but there is candy. Do you want it?" Albert looked at his roommate rather speechlessly, but the other party was able to hoarse his voice.

   "No, eating candy is even more uncomfortable." Lee Jordan shook his head and refused.

   "I think so." Albert peeled off the candy wrapper, threw the chocolate candy into his mouth, and muttered, "You won't have a sore throat if you stop shouting."

   "What do you mean by yelling at the top of your lungs? I'm cheering for the team." Lee Jordan looked at Albert in shock, "You are so unmoved by such a beautiful game?"

"I'm just not as excited as you." Albert sighed softly. He also knew that some people like to shout out when watching a football game, so that it will feel more atmospheric, but Albert obviously doesn't have that habit. At most, when the Gryffindor team scored a goal, they applauded with everyone.

  Lee Jordan: “…”

   Sounds like it makes sense, it makes sense!

  When watching a game, the most important thing is to cheer loudly for the side you support.

   "This game is really exciting."

Albert noticed that Lee Jordan seemed to want to say something, so he changed the subject, "If Fred and George know that they missed a wonderful game, they will probably skip the confinement and come over to watch the game Bar."

   "The two of them will probably go crazy." Li Qiaodan also felt that his roommate was a bit pitiful. This game was really exciting, and it really deserves to be the final championship game.

  Whether it is the competition for the ghost ball, or the control of the Bludger, or even the pursuit of the Golden Snitch, it is very exciting. Both sides are very good at using some unexpected tactics.

   "This side won't start for a while. If you're thirsty, go back to the castle and drink some water before coming back." Albert was looking around the stadium through the binoculars, and the most irritable was the Slytherin audience.

Most Slytherin students hope that Gryffindor will lose the game. Only if Gryffindor loses this game, can Slytherin beat Gryffindor in total points and win the Quidditch match champion.

   For the Slytherin house that has occupied the Quidditch trophy for too long, it has regarded the house cup and the Quidditch trophy as its own thing, and is not willing to share it with other houses.

   "Tell me, those Slytherin students who are nagging about something, are they cursing us and hoping that we will lose this game?" Albert looked at the Slytherin players and suddenly felt a little funny.

"Slytherin? Curse? Where is it? Let me see." Lee Jordan moved the binoculars over and saw the Slytherin students whispering, and couldn't help laughing, "This year's Quidditch champion belongs to Gryffindor, right?"

   "Well, victory belongs to Gryffindor."

   "That's good, is this wave stable?"

   "What is stable?" Angelina, who was sitting above them, asked curiously.

"Gryffindor will win!" Lee Jordan is full of confidence in Albert, "This guy's mouth is open, what, what, if he says that Gryffindor will win, it is likely that he will win .”

  Albert: "..." Students, you have to believe in science... ahem, you have to believe in magic.

  Everyone in the stands stared at Albert, wondering why Lee Jordan would think so, could Albert’s words really...

"I said...you don't have to look at me like that." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and laughed at himself: "If it's really useful to talk nonsense, then why should I work so hard? Just say it directly, I never When graduating from the school, you can have twelve O.W.L. certificates and seven N.E.W.T. certificates, and all of them are excellent."

Everyone looked at each other, but Albert continued, "Then, uh, make two or three girlfriends, publish two or three books, and win two or three championship trophies. After graduation, you can earn a lot of money without working, and finally Live happily ever after."

   Albert's words made others laugh out loud, and someone asked, "What are you doing, making a wish?"

"Well, it's just making a wish. Didn't Lee Jordan say that my words are accurate?" Albert said solemnly, "Then of course I will give myself a wave now. If I really hit the mark by accident, I will Earn it if you don’t.”

  Everyone was speechless, and suddenly felt that Albert's thinking was so clear, and he couldn't say that his thinking was wrong, no, it should be said to be quite correct.

   "By the way, you actually want to get twelve O.W.L. certificates and seven N.E.W.T. certificates?" Shanna felt that Albert's ambitions were great, "And, do you plan to get all excellent?"

  Actually, Shanna thinks that with Albert's talent and talent, it is not too difficult to obtain twelve O.W.L. certificates and seven N.E.W.T. certificates, but isn't it a bit too much to get all excellent?

   "You still plan to publish three books?" Aliya looked up and down Albert, "Or before graduation? By the way, what book do you plan to publish?"

   "Don't you think it's more excessive to win three championship trophies?" Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining.

   "I think this is more likely. When he joins the Gryffindor team next year, maybe he can really help Gryffindor win the Quidditch trophy."

   "Ahem, I just said those words casually, but you actually take them seriously?" Albert was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't help complaining, lest Lee Jordan always say what he said was accurate.

  If you are really that accurate, just give yourself a wave and say that you will win the first prize in the lottery.

   At that time, I will become rich overnight, and I will have to work hard in finance.

   "What's the matter? Katrina." Albert smiled and greeted the red-haired girl in front of him who was looking at him with contempt.

   "I found that you are really greedy, so you don't want to talk about three girlfriends?" Katrina looked Albert up and down, "You still want to make a lot of money without working?"

  Albert didn't pay much attention to Katrina's words, and said in a joking tone: "It's not good for you to come here, are you preparing to join the enemy?"

   "Someone wants to see you." Katrina said suddenly.

"who?"

   "Mr. Smith, he is a friend of Professor Broad and a good friend of my father's before his death. He probably heard about you and wants to meet you?" Katrina explained her purpose of coming.

   "Smith?" Albert frowned slightly.

   "He's at the east exit of the stadium, come with me." Katrina turned and left, as Albert said, it's really not good for her to stay here.

   "Oh!" Albert responded. Whenever I hear the surname Smith, I can't help but think of something unpleasant.

  Leaving the stands, Albert walked towards the exit. He noticed two people standing there, one was Albert's old acquaintance Isobel McDougal, and the other should be Mr. Smith.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson." Mr. Smith walked forward with a smile on his face and greeted Albert, "I am Rowena, Rowena Smith. You may not have heard my name, but I often I heard about you from Mog and Bard, and I have always wanted to meet you, the youngest rune master in history."

   "Master of Runes?"

  Albert’s expression on his face was a bit stiff, but he managed to squeeze out a polite smile, and reminded, "I never think of myself as a master of runes, I just know a little bit about ancient runes."

   "Humility is not a bad thing, but excessive modesty will make people feel that you are hypocritical." Smith reminded with a smile.

   These words touched the hearts of the two girls, yes, this is a hypocrite.

   "It's very hypocritical, will it?" Albert was not angry, and turned his head and asked, "Have you ever seen someone call a twelve-year-old child a rune master?"

"Haha, Mr. Anderson is such an interesting person. That's right, as you said, no one would call a twelve-year-old man a rune master." Rowena looked at Albert with great interest, "I think We will have a lot of common topics, let's talk while walking."

  What exactly is this guy trying to do? Albert was a little puzzled, but there was no doubt that Rowena Smith was an expert.

   It is quite normal for an expert's friend to be an expert.

   "Could it be that the so-called experts and masters like to flatter each other when they meet?" Isobel's mouth twitched.

   The two of them didn't know Isobel's thoughts, they were talking while walking, and found that there were really many topics that the two could talk about together.

  What surprised Smith was that Albert would be sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat?

   "Gryffindor is not only reckless." Albert didn't care at all, and reminded, "Dumbledore was also assigned to Gryffindor?"

   "It's true to say so." Smith didn't get too entangled in this issue. The topic of his chat with Albert gradually involved other fields.

  Albert was surprised by the scope of Smith's coverage, but he didn't know that Smith was even more surprised that Albert had his own unique insights in various fields.

   You know, Albert hasn't finished his first year at Hogwarts yet. Apart from being a genius, Smith really doesn't know what to use to describe this guy in front of him.

  The situation of this Quidditch match was actually given by Albert. The tug-of-war between the two sides continued, and it seemed very likely that it would drag into the night.

   "Why does Uncle Rowena want to see that guy?" Katrina was very puzzled. She thought that Smith came here for the materials left by her father, but that didn't seem to be the case.

   "I don't know, don't worry about them, let's go back to the stands and continue watching the game." Isobel glanced at the backs of the two, and pulled his sister away.

   To be honest, the exchange between Albert and Smith was not very friendly to most people.

  In the eyes of the McDougal sisters, as soon as the two guys met, they began to chatter, which caused headaches for the two who couldn't understand.

  The game lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, and finally Charlie, who was tired, caught the Snitch by chance.

  No one thought that Albert's prophecy really came true. At that time, what did he say:

  Maybe, after your confinement is over, the competition is not over yet.

   Victory belongs to Gryffindor.

  In fact, these two sentences really come true.

  The confinement of Fred and George only lasted until seven o'clock in the evening. They didn't even eat dinner, so they hurried over to watch the game, which happened to be the end.

   "This is a wonderful game." Smith smiled and said to Albert, "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

   "I'll be leaving first." Before turning to leave, Smith turned back and said, "We will meet again soon, and I am looking forward to hearing from you."

"Will do."

Albert looked at the back of Smith leaving, and cast his gaze to the center of the court. The members of the Gryffindor team hugged each other. Charlie took the trophy and held it high, announcing to everyone that Gryffindor had won the championship. Quidditch trophy.

  Albert saw the relieved Professor McGonagall, the disappointed Ravenclaw student, and even the gloomy Slytherin student.

  He stepped forward and walked towards the court.

   Outside the stadium, Smith was strolling on the lawn when a figure appeared beside him without warning, it was Dumbledore.

   "How is it?" Dumbledore laughed.

   "A great Quidditch match." Smith didn't hold back his praise, "I agree with that."

   "That would be great." Dumbledore said happily, "Would you like to have dinner in the auditorium together?"

   "No, I don't think I need to be in a hurry, I should go back." After bidding farewell to Dumbledore, Smith walked towards Hogsmeade.
