The Alchemist of Harry Potter

　　 "Then... take your time here, let's go out and fly for a while." Fred glanced at the flying broom that Albert had placed next to him, then turned and left the locker room with the others.

　　 Albert picked up the book and flying broomsticks and went to the auditorium, found a place, and opened the "Quidditch" to read carefully:

　　 Quidditch's name comes from the place where Quidditch was born.

　　 Albert's understanding of Quidditch lies only in the simplest common sense. As for the origin of the name, it seems unexpected, but it is reasonable.

　　 In the 11th century, the diary of Getty Kidd, a witch living near Quidditch Marsh, has a related description:

　　 One day, a group of people were riding a flying broomstick to play a ball over Quidditch Marsh. The ball fell into the vegetable field of Getty the Witch and was confiscated by her.

　　 The next day, the players did not give up. They made a new ball and started throwing the ball into the woods at the end of the swamp to score.

　　 On the third day, the players brought two rocks and flew around in the sky, trying to knock them off the broom.

　　 This is the first ghost ball, scoring circle and walking ball.

　　 Albert reached out his hand and flipped another page gently:

　　 In a Quidditch game in 1269, Barberu Breg, the Speaker of the Wizarding Council, came to watch. He told the players on the field that whoever could catch the King Pan in the game would get 150 gallons.

　　 At that time, hunting of Jin Fei Xia was popular, and any wizard who caught Jin Fei Xia could become famous.

　　 Since then, Jin Feixia and Quidditch have been in contact.

　　 Later, Quidditch had a hunter who was specifically responsible for catching Jin Pan.

　　 If a hunter can catch and kill King Pan, his team can win 150 points to symbolize the 150 gallons that Breno promised.

　　 "Is it 150 gallons in 1269? This wizard council speaker is really rich in tm." Albert muttered softly. "No wonder, after catching the Golden Snitch, he scored 150 points."

　　 However, it is not difficult for Albert to guess the fate of Jin Feixia.

　　Sure enough, in the middle of the 14th century, the number of King Wings dropped sharply due to Quidditch matches, and was regarded as a protected species by the Wizarding Council led by Elida Cragg.

　　 Later, the metalsmith Bowman Wright from Godric Valley invented the Golden Snitch. In the end, the Golden Snitch became a substitute for the Golden Snitch, and the Quidditch movement continued.

　　 Albert had seen the Snitch. It is hard to imagine that a wizard at the end of the 15th century could make such an exquisite Snitch.

Of course, since the shock absorption curse was not invented until the 19th century, Albert could not help but maliciously guess how the Quidditch players before this overcome the sadness of the ball and rode the flying broomstick in the game. .

　　 In the second half of "Quidditch Traceability", there is also an introduction to the Quidditch game rules. The most interesting thing for Albert is the rules of the Golden Snitch.

　　 Except for the Seeker, any athlete who touches or catches the Snitch is a foul. In other words, there is no such thing as a player grabbing the Snitch and handing it over to their own seekers.

　　 The game will only end if you catch the Snitch.

　　 Of course, there is another situation, that is, with the consent of the captains of the two teams, the game can also end.

　　 can be simply understood as one party concedes defeat.

　　 Any kind of game, conceding defeat is always allowed.

　　 Albert continued to scroll down and found several interesting rules.

　　 In a Quidditch game, if the team is disabled, no other athletes can be substituted, but the injured athletes are allowed to be treated. If the athletes leave the field, the team will continue to play after the injured athletes leave the field.

　　 Well, that is, there is no substitute?

　　 Albert found another problem, that is, when he can't replace players, Charlie asks them to be alternates?

　　 "So that's it, is it a real alternate?" Albert couldn't help but smile.

　　 There are probably several people on the team who will graduate next year, so Charlie is busy looking for players who can replace them!

　　 After all, we will make selections next year. How can we start training good players soon this year? When that happens, we will not worry about others gossiping.

　　 In the later period of "Quidditch", Albert really discovered that it was really possible to replace players during Quidditch matches. That is, for a few days in the game, the team will be allowed to send substitute players on the field and put the players off to sleep.

　　 This is the only situation that allows substitution of alternate players.

　　By the way, the audience is not crazy, how could it be possible to watch the game for days without sleep?

　　 In fact, Albert felt that once a Quidditch match lasted more than one day, it lost the meaning of continuing the match.

　　 He continued to flip down, and later in the rules, some foul methods:

　　 For example, lighting the opponent's broom tail.

　　 Use the stick to hit the opponent's broomstick. (Albert is sure that both Irene and Mark have done such things.)

　　 There are also deliberately hitting opponents during flight or using elbows to hit opponents. (Basically all Quidditch players except the goalkeeper have done this kind of thing)

　　 Grab the opponent’s broomstick to slow down or hinder the opponent’s progress. (Malfoy used this trick against Potter.)

　　……

　　 Of course, violates the above rules and in most cases will only be free throws, severely will be suspended.

　　 Actually, Mark is the best example. He did not miss his opponent deliberately.

　　 If you use your elbow to knock the opponent's seeker off the court, Albert thinks he will do the same. To a certain extent, he will get a huge advantage.

　　 Albert thought maliciously: the match lasted for three months, wouldn't it be that way?

　　 Both sides knocked off the opponent's Seeker, no one caught the Snitch, and neither side had the intention to admit defeat. The game naturally needs to continue.

　　 Perceiving someone falling beside him, Albert turned his head and saw that Charlie and his party had finished training.

　　 Charlie asked, "Why didn't you practice flying?"

　　 "There seems to be something wrong with the broom, it trembles badly."

"It's probably too old. The school broomsticks have been used for a long time, and they are more or less faulty." Charlie sighed lightly and greeted several people who were still flying in the sky, "George, Fred, and a few of you, come down and listen to the tactical analysis."

　　 "Is the training finished?" Fred and the others also landed one after another, coming to Charlie's side and asking.

　　 "Not yet, I will tell you about Quidditch tactics later, and you will come over and listen together."

　　 "But we have heard it."

　　 "I listened to you all summer vacation."

　　 The twins looked at each other and said each other.

"To shut up."

　　 Angelina was very happy. Charlie was able to explain tactics to a few people, but he didn't treat them as outsiders.

　　 After putting the ghost ball and the wandering ball into the box, Charlie took a few people into the locker room. He stood in front of the blackboard and began to explain the Quidditch tactics he had thought of during the summer vacation.
