Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 228 ends

  Winter nights come very early, and at five o’clock in the evening, the sky quickly dims.

  However, Hogwarts today is a bit special. The Quidditch pitch is still brightly lit. In order to keep the game going, Hogwarts professors lit torches around the pitch.

  In the stands, Albert tightened his thick cloak to resist the rapidly dropping low temperature at night. Compared with Albert's situation, the situation of other spectators around was even worse. They were already hungry after they hadn't eaten lunch.

  However, the audience still endured hunger and cold with enthusiasm that Albert could not understand, and continued to sit in the stands to watch the Quidditch match.

  However, the audience was not the most miserable person on the scene. The players who were still flying in the sky were already messed up in the cold wind.

  The high-altitude wind is very cold, and it gets colder after nightfall, especially the rookies who are nervous in the morning and haven’t eaten much. Their little physical strength has long been drained by the cold, and now they are hungry, thirsty and cold.

The narrator Lee Jordan, who was originally in high spirits, no longer had the initial passion at this moment. His voice became hoarse due to the continuous narration, and he had to use the loud voice magic to continue with the help of Professor McGonagall. It is undoubtedly a severe test for Lee Jordan, who was explaining for the first time.

"Look, they all found the Snitch and caught up!" Lee Jordan shouted from the stands, "Currently, the score between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw is 210 to 270, Ravenclaw Temporarily leading, but the two sides have not completely widened the gap, no matter who catches the Golden Snitch, they can bring victory to their team."

  A Snitch battle is raging above the field, and the Seekers on both sides can't wait to end the long game.

  No way, it lasted for several hours, and all the players were already very tired.

   "The two sides are speeding up the dive. Oh, they are about to hit the ground, my God, they hit the ground, hope they are okay." Lee Jordan shouted in horror. "Wait, oops, the Ravenclaw Seeker caught the Snitch."

   No one cared what Lee Jordan said just now, because round after round of cheers had erupted on the court, and people were cheering for the victory of this game.

   Albert and other Gryffindor spectators rushed onto the field, and Gryffindor and Ravenclaw players had already surrounded Charlie.

  The situation of these two Seekers was a bit bad. They both fell and were injured, and they were finally taken to the school hospital on a stretcher by Professor McGonagall who rushed over.

   "Don't worry, Charlie will be fine." Albert comforted the twin brothers softly. The condition of the two brothers was not very good. They were shivering from the cold wind above, and they seemed to be showing signs of loss of strength.

   "Eat some candy first." Albert took out the candy and handed it to the twins, while pulling out his wand to remove the damp and chill from their bodies.

   "Thank you, thanks to you!" Fred said a little tiredly, he did not refuse Albert's support, in fact, he was almost out of strength.

   "I didn't expect this match to last this long."

  The four returned to the castle in a hurry, sat at a dining table full of people, and drank a bowl of steaming corn chowder before they could talk about other things.

   "I remember you seem to say that the game will last for a long time." Lee Jordan suddenly looked up at Albert and said while eating a piece of fried potato.

   "I didn't say that, so don't blame me." Albert gave Lee Jordan an annoyed look, "I just let them eat more, so that they don't have the energy to compete."

   "The meaning is the same." Lee Jordan said.

   "The result is still lost." George's tone was a bit heavy. They trained so hard, but they still lost the game.

   "Charlie has tried his best." Albert said.

   "I know, he just had bad luck." Fred was a little depressed. Ravenclaw won the game because he was just lucky. At that time, the opponent's Seeker and Charlie dived together, neither of them intended to slow down, and when the catch hit the ground, the opponent actually caught the Snitch.

   Speaking of luck, several people looked at Albert one after another. This guy is lucky enough, if...

  They didn't continue to think about it, there was nothing if.

After eating something, Albert and the Gryffindor players went to the school hospital to visit the injured Charlie. The captain had already been treated by Madam Pomfrey, and his condition was not very good. He needed to stay overnight in the school hospital for observation .

   However, Charlie is not alone, because there is someone with him. The only regret is that that is not a girl, but a lucky Ravenclaw Seeker who has the same illness as Charlie.

  As soon as they left the school hospital, the four met Professor Smith in the corridor.

   "Albert, I just have something to ask you." Professor Smith kindly greeted Albert to his Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

   "That's what I said last time." He handed Albert a piece of parchment, which contained what Albert saw in the Room of Requirement today.

   Sure enough, Professor Smith went there too.

   "This is the history of the creation of Hogwarts." Albert said after spending some time reading the contents of the parchment.

   "I know." Professor Smith nodded, "Do you think there is anything special about him?"

   "Special?" Albert thought for a while, "Nothing special, this is a piece of history, similar to what I read in the library."

  Professor Smith seemed a little disappointed, although Albert got the same result as him.

   "If you have to say something strange..." Albert hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Are the ancient wizards really in a bad situation?"

   It's not bad, Albert knows that, he's just diverting Professor Smith's attention.

"Not very good." Professor Smith explained, "In that era, the knowledge of magic was not summarized and summarized like ours, and wizards crossed the river by feeling the stones. Knowledge is very precious, and a parchment may be worth it." At that time, many wizards did not have many types of magic, especially those from Muggles, who were in a very bad situation. Apart from their magical power, what kind of formal magic Neither."

Without a wand, let alone how to use magic, it is undoubtedly bad to have magical power. Muggles are very afraid of this kind of power. Once they find it, they will be regarded as monsters. The fate can be imagined. After all, there are only a few people who use magic violently.

"The four founders of Hogwarts are undoubtedly very great. At that time, there were only a few powerful wizards like them, and even fewer were willing to share their knowledge with others as selflessly as they did." Smith The professor sighed.

   "I thought it was a prosperous era of magic." Albert muttered, "The ancient and powerful magic of Hogwarts..."

"You are right. In that era, there were indeed many magical and powerful magics. Although traces of those ancient magics can still be found today, there is no chance that anyone will use them... Maybe Dumbledore will be more Ancient magic, but such cases are only a minority after all." Professor Smith frowned slightly, and he was actually aware of some problems, but he couldn't figure out exactly where.
