Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

There was a hazy mist beside the black lake in the early morning. A little wizard in a vest was doing morning exercises, running laps around the black lake.

A swallow-tailed dog followed him, and it started to stick out its tongue as it ran, and kept "humming" and panting loudly.

"Ruth, are you okay? Just hold on a little longer?" Bourne asked the swallow-tailed dog who looked helpless as he ran.

The Black Lake was huge, and even though he had not completely transformed into a "Primaris Astartes", Bourne felt a little tired after running a lap.

So after he finished his run, he took out two jars of tonics sent by Grandpa Horace: one for himself and one for Ruth.

"Licorice lemon flavor." After drinking it in one gulp, Bourne licked his lips and rubbed Ruth's head. "Ruth, isn't Grandpa Horace very powerful? At the very least, the potion he makes is a hundred times better than Professor Snape's."

Ruth nodded crazily, which seemed to mean: You are right, as long as you don't continue to run around, if possible... I would like to drink another can.

"I'm afraid this won't work. This tonic contains fire dragon blood and Riem ox blood. If you drink too much at one time, you might catch fire."

Bourne waved his wand, cast a 'Clean Up' on himself and Ruth respectively, and then walked towards Hogwarts Castle with the dog wagging his two tails.

You have to eat better today.

Because the Hogwarts Cup Quidditch Academy League will start its first match today. As one of the starting lineup, Byrne will also enter the field as a batsman today.

Although Mr. Weasley promised to help contact him, firstly, time was tight, and secondly, he could not leave school for the time being (customizing brooms required collecting personal data at the factory), so customizing brooms had to wait until he had Christmas vacation and left Hogg. Just Woz.

Horace could only buy him the same Nimbus 2000 as Harry's, but the style was different: his Nimbus 2000 used a pewter broomstick, which had better turning and emergency stopping performance and was more suitable for Used by batters.

It's the first time I'm on the court. Although it's not much, I'm still a little nervous.

Fortunately, Bourne has special psychological adjustment skills: just like maintaining and checking equipment before going to the battlefield is a habit of many Astartes. He used Diamond brand polishing hardener to maintain the "Triple Speed" and Nimbus 2000 last night, and then My mind immediately relaxed.

I did morning exercises when I was supposed to do them, and I ate breakfast when I was supposed to have breakfast. There was no sign of anything different from usual performance at all.

Compared with Bourne, Harry was a little behind, even though Hermione took him and Ron to the trophy room two days ago.

The little witch discovered a "secret": Harry's father was also a Gryffindor Quidditch player, and James Potter was also a seeker like Harry, and he also carried the Gryffindor ball as captain. The team has won several Quidditch championships!

According to her words: "Harry, you have a family background, so there must be no problem."

Even with these bottom words and the encouragement from friends and teammates, Harry was still nervous before taking the field for the first time.

He didn't even finish his breakfast, leaving a lot of bacon and potatoes for Ruth.

The whole process was in a daze, and with Ron's help, Harry put on his Quidditch robes and full set of protective gear.

The team uniforms they wore were crimson with a yellow stripe on the collar, which overall matched the color scheme of Gryffindor. Everyone also wore knee pads, elbow pads, helmets and finger gloves made of fire dragon skin.

"Very good, Bourne, very energetic!"

"Come on, Harry, you can do it!"

"Fred, kill those guys!"

"..."

The game started immediately. Before the players walked out of the lounge, just like his previous captain Charlie Weasley did, the current Gryffindor captain Wood patted the other six players on the shoulders one by one and gave them a warm welcome. Each person received different encouragement and praise.

The reason why Oliver Wood was selected as the captain of the Quidditch team was not only because both Charlie and Professor McGonagall recognized him as the best goalkeeper in Gryffindor in the past fifty years, but also because he could be like Charlie. In the same way, we can twist the team together.

In addition, when Wood plays the game, he also has a characteristic that only legendary Quidditch players possess: tenacity.

And it’s not just ordinary toughness, it’s TM’s special toughness!

Unless he is maliciously injured and "disarmed" (such as a broken arm or leg) by some particularly dark and unscrupulous opponent (here specifically referring to Slytherin's Marcus Flint), all of his defenses are impeccable. Because the above method is so inhumane, all teams except Slytherin are actually particularly afraid of this extremely tough wood.

"Our formation today is 1-1-5!" A second before entering the venue, Wood reminded everyone loudly: "Everyone must go all out -"

There is one thing to say, even from the perspective of George and Fred, who are naturally adventurous, Wood's tactic is too radical.

Although the 1-1-5 formation can play the most brutal offense, the pressure is also concentrated on the goalkeeper alone.

There are three types of balls in Quidditch: the Quaffle, the Bludger and the Golden Snitch.

In addition to the hard rule that the Seeker can only touch the Golden Snitch, both the Batter and the Chaser can touch the other two game balls, but the former must use a bat to touch the ball (as does the Quaffle) ).

Generally speaking, the batter's first task is to relieve the Seeker from the pressure of being chased by Bludgers at the "decisive moment", and at the same time try to use Bludgers to interfere with the opponent's Seeker to capture the Golden Snitch.

Before the "decisive moment", the batsman must try his best to protect other players, and must be especially careful to prevent the opponent from using "tactics" to attack his own goalkeeper. Therefore, the most common lineup for Quidditch games is to leave one batter in the backfield and let the other batter take the initiative to roam around and attack.

The "1-1-5" formation formulated by Wood allowed both batsmen to participate in the attack and did not provide support for the goalkeeper at all.

If the opponent's batter hits the Bludger, or if the Chaser ignores "offside" or simply gives up possession of the ball and directly initiates a collision, the goalkeeper can easily be in danger.

Although each team in Quidditch has three substitutes, these three substitutes are used to replace the Chaser. The Seeker, Beater and Keeper have no substitutes and must hold on until the end of the game by themselves.

Even if the players in these three positions are injured, if they don't want their team to lose the game, then they have to grit their teeth and persist until the end of the game.

Therefore, by using such an extremely radical tactic in the first game of the league, it is difficult for Wood to deny that his choice was not without emotional factors.

"-Kill the Slytherin team!"

Raising his arms and letting out a final roar, Wood then slammed open the door in front of him, and the noise in the playing field was instantly transmitted into the players' lounge.

The first game of the Quidditch League was a crowd-pleaser. Almost all the little wizards in Hogwarts came to watch this duel between old enemies.

Gryffindor VS. Slytherin.

Half of the auditorium was red and half was green. Supporters from both sides stood in front of each other and showed no weakness to each other.
