Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 334 Quidditch

This Devil's Web plant, cultivated by Marguerite, has tendrils as hard as steel wire, which cannot be cut by ordinary swords.

Moreover, it is very resilient and can survive for a period of time without taking root in the soil. As long as it is fed water or other nutrients, it can even survive for longer.

What's even more formidable is that it's also a bloodthirsty vine, capable of piercing enemies with its sharp thorns and then frantically sucking their blood to become stronger. In particular, the stronger the target it feeds on, the faster and more powerful the Devil's Web grows.

Margaret tamed this devil's web, which usually shrank and hid in the hollow space of her bracelet, carrying it with her at all times.

But once danger is encountered, the devil's net will quickly emerge from the bracelet, like a giant vine net, to protect its owner and attack the enemy at the same time.

Therefore, with this devil's net around, Margaret, who is usually immersed in herbalism, is not to be underestimated in terms of true strength.

Returning to the greenhouse, the day's classes ended when the students, covered in mud, walked out of the greenhouse and returned to their dormitories to wash and change clothes.

The next day, the students of Phoenix Academy and the students of Basilisk Academy took a Defense Against the Dark Arts class together.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts office is headed by Grob, the leader of the Black Barbarians. Grob is gifted in both dark magic and defense, and is among the top wizards under Dui's command.

Not only does it possess both falcons and giant eagles, but because it is fused with the blood of the Frost Dragon, it also possesses absolute power in frost magic, directly developing the Frost Spell, which was originally a life magic, into a more advanced ability.

With a wave of the wand, everything was frozen, even incoming spells.

After finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they went to the greenhouse with the students from the Dragon Academy for a Herbalism class.

In the afternoon, I attended a history of magic class with Thunderbird Academy.

In the history of magic class, the students watched with amazement and excitement as the two elven ladies arrived together.

The beautiful and gentle Lady Muxing is like the brightest star in the night sky, mysterious and elegant, and because of her pregnancy, she also carries a touch of maternal glow.

Lady Galadriel, tall and beautiful, is like the bright moon, the undisputed queen of the night sky. Her deep eyes are gentle yet penetrating, making people afraid to look directly at her.

In the History of Magic course, Alvin is the professor, and Galadriel is the teaching assistant.

With their clear and beautiful voices, they slowly recounted ancient history, making what should have been a dull and boring history of magic vivid and engaging.

Especially the ancient Lady Galadriel, who was a witness to many parts of ancient history.

Therefore, during the narration, influenced by the spiritual will she exuded, everyone seemed to return to that period of history and witness the magnificent ancient events firsthand.

When the bell rang, everyone came to their senses and left the classroom in shock and excitement.

And those ancient histories were deeply etched into my mind through this impactful teaching experience.

On the third day, the students of Phoenix Academy studied Herbalism in the morning, Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic in the afternoon, and Astronomy in the evening.

On Thursday, the students got excited because they had flight class that day.

Flying is an irresistible temptation for everyone; not only are the young wizards very excited, but even the elves are looking forward to it.

Flying brooms were popular among wizards as their means of flight, especially after Quidditch spread from the castle.

The instructor for the flight lessons was Gandalf, who looked old but was very agile and had excellent flying skills.

Gandalf's lessons were very free; after teaching flying skills, he would immediately have his students practice riding broomsticks.

Even the young wizards in the territory didn't have much experience riding brooms; at most, they rode children's toy brooms that were at most a meter off the ground.

So, once the fifty-odd students got on their brooms, it was complete chaos, with everything flying around in all directions.

Some shot into the sky like rockets, screaming, some crashed directly into the city walls, and some plummeted to the ground... It was a scene of utter chaos. But Gandalf, with his agile and swift flying skills, caught each of the wildly flying students with one hand in mid-air, preventing them from breaking their necks.

The whole process was like dealing with a group of humanoid "Quirkballs".

Clearly, Gandalf was not only a master of flying broomsticks, but also a formidable Quidditch player.

The students, after their initial panic and screams, gradually calmed down and began trying to control the flying brooms beneath them.

After all, they now had confidence, knowing that no matter what, Professor Gandalf would protect them.

So a group of students let loose completely and did whatever they wanted, doing whatever was most dangerous.

Screams and cheers filled the air above the castle.

Dui stood at the tower window, looking at the scene outside, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

While this method allows students to become familiar with and master flying skills more quickly, perhaps only Gandalf would have the energy to handle so many children.

And judging from Gandalf's cheerful appearance, he was clearly enjoying himself.

Before we knew it, the second week had arrived.

The students have become familiar with school life, and teaching is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Moving staircases, talking portraits, patrolling armor, a vast library and flying magic books, automatically writing quills... and the thunderbirds that often create storms of lightning to drench and irrigate the castle.

All these magical sights filled the students with a strong desire to explore the castle, even while they were studying.

And a lively event began at the end of the second week.

Although only a first-year student, Gandalf, as the flight professor and Quidditch referee, officially formed the Quidditch teams of the four houses.

Almost all the students signed up enthusiastically, and even the little elves didn't want to miss out.

A Quidditch team consists of seven players: one goalie, two batters, three chasers, and one seeker.

For this exciting Quidditch game, Duy also sponsored a Golden Snitch that he made himself.

Furthermore, based on the original Quidditch, Dui added new elements to ensure team cooperation and fairness, as well as to enhance the watchability of the game.

To avoid a scenario like in the Harry Potter world, where Harry Potter catches the Golden Snitch and ends the game in just five minutes.

Dui simply lowered the value of the Golden Snitch from 150 to 50 points, and the game could only end if the Snitch was caught when the difference in the base score between the two teams was greater than 50 points.

The match is limited to a maximum of 120 minutes. When the time limit is reached, the team that catches the Golden Snitch immediately wins, regardless of the score difference; if no one catches it, the team with the higher total score wins.

Avoid "tactical delays" and "garbage time," as well as matches that last for days and nights, or even a month.

To his knowledge, the longest recorded Quidditch match in the Harry Potter world lasted three months.

He doesn't want to see that happen.

I don't want Quidditch to become a Seeker's solo show.

Soon, after all four houses had formed their Quidditch teams, the first Quidditch match at Hogwarts began.
