Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic

Chapter 31: tactics

Auston took the team to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

"Auston, are you kidding us! How can there be a place suitable for practicing Quidditch in the castle! Is it in the corridor?" Zacharis Smith asked angrily.

Auston didn't reply to his words, and continued to walk around the eighth floor as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly he stopped in front of a large tapestry with a face full of surprise.

On the tapestry is the famous painting "The Troll Stick Beats the Silly Barnabas". Auston turned and walked quickly towards the blank wall opposite.

He recalled the appearance of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch in his mind, and walked back and forth three times around the wall.

Suddenly, the walls began to shake, and the dust rustled from the ceiling above the walls. It seemed that this room had not been opened for a long time.

A few team members not far away also stared at the changing wall in amazement. A smooth and tall giant door slowly emerged from the wall.

It's done! Auston said in his heart.

He himself pushed the door open first, and it was exactly what he wanted inside.

The grandstand of Hogwarts Stadium, with tall goalposts on both sides, exudes a large lawn with fragrant soil, and even the sun is as bright as outside.

With his upper body sticking out of the giant door, he waved to the team members who were still in shock not far away.

A few people didn't care to be surprised and quickly followed.

When they entered the Room of Requirement, they couldn't even close their mouths.

"God! This is amazing! How did you change it, Auston!" Zacharias Smith, who was still complaining just now, really wanted to lie on the ground and kiss Auston's shoes to express his lofty Respect.

The fifth-grade brawny Jack Harper and Benjamin Ferguson even more exaggeratedly picked up Auston and threw them upwards.

"I heard my grandfather say it's the House of Requirement," said Cedric, who was obviously more calm than the others.

"But it is said that the Room of Requirement has disappeared for a long time, how do you know how to open it." Cedric waved his hand to signal Jack and Benjamin to stop making trouble. Auston was able to stand firmly on the ground.

"My mother told me." Auston lied

"She used to be a Gryffindor student and came to the Room of Requirement."

Several people nodded. Then they started today's training.

Cedric corrected Auston for a few minor broomstick mistakes that he didn't even notice himself, and it took him less time to accelerate instantly after avoiding the minor mistakes.

Auston first practiced a few laps flying up and down the court.

After that, he flew to the goal, and the players threw the ball to the goal behind him from various angles. The first few **** almost entered the ring, and after Auston adjusted his rhythm, no Quaffle could get close to him.

Auston's reflexes have been the fastest since elementary school! This also allowed him to evade opponents' iron fists and win in many major competitions.

The happiest thing at the moment is Cedric. After the training, he also promised Auston that as long as Auston practices well, he will definitely go to Hogsmeade and give him the best and most fun things when he has time. bring back.

For this, Auston can only express his thanks on the face, and then discuss in his heart, should I still use you to bring a Marauder's map!

After that, every night from Monday to Friday, a few people sneaked up to the eighth floor after school, and after finishing their homework together in the Room of Requirement, they trained until midnight.

Especially on weekends, a few people went to the training grounds for training every day, and only when it was time for dinner did they send someone to the auditorium to pack a lot of food to bring back.

During this time, Auston not only played more and more slippery balls, but also did not have time to discuss tactics with them.

"Our first game was against Slytherin. The last time I saw it on the court, they almost all had Nimbus 2000 in their hands, and they never mind fouling. We have to use tactics."

During the noon break, a few people were sitting on the grass eating lunch, said Auston.

"Tactics? What tactics. We Hufflepuffs never play falsehoods, and every victory is real." said Benjamin, who was well-developed.

Auston rolled his eyes at him

"If we were against Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, we could have a real fight, but in the face of Slytherin with too many tricks, my principle is to be gentleman to gentleman, and small to small. Human to villain!"

Cedric also nodded in agreement. He said, "Then what tactics should we use, our brooms are much slower than theirs."

Faced with this question, Auston picked up seven stones and placed them among them.

"These two are Slytherin batsmen," he said, pointing to the two stones at the front.

"These three are Chasers." He pointed to the three stones behind him.

"This, it's goalkeeper Marcus Flint." He pointed to the big pebble at the back.

"Now, listen up! Roger, you are the only Chaser on the court this time, you use my Nimbus 2000. The main purpose is to grab the Quaffle, and then quickly rush to Slytherin's goal!"

"He's the only Chaser, what about us?" Card, who was also a Chaser, asked eagerly.

"You and Zacharis are responsible for breaking Roger. The bat is held by both of you, and whoever chases Roger will hit me! Remember, don't hit people with a broom. It's not a foul."

His remarks confused Jack the Strong and Benjamin,

"Give them the bat, what are we two doing?" Benjamin asked, pointing to himself and Jack.

"Your mission is the most important!" Auston said, turning to look at the two big men

"Jack uses Roger's Comet 260, and I'll use Comet 230. You two fly over to the Slytherin goal as soon as the game starts, and as soon as Roger comes over with the Quaffle, you immediately clamp Marcus from left to right. Flint ~lightnovelpub.net~ drag him aside so Roger can score!"

Then he punched Benjamin's arm muscles and smiled.

"You two are so strong, it's no problem to hold Flint!"

"We both take him like a chicken!" Benjamin smiled and patted Jack on the shoulder.

"That's good"

Then Allston turned to Cedric

"Cedric, the Slytherin Chaser brooms are faster than ours, you need to practice the Lansky fake more. After seeing the Snitch, first use the fake to confuse the opponent, and then use this short time to quickly catch Keep the Snitch. After all, catching the Snitch will give us a higher overall score, so we can get closer to the Quidditch Cup."

Saying that, he patted Cedric on the shoulder.

"But don't force yourself, even if we can't get the Snitch, it's easy for us to score fifteen goals."

Cedric nodded and smiled.

"You bad boy, the Sorting Hat has definitely put you in the wrong house, and you should enter the sinister Slytherin."

Others also smiled and agreed, his plan was really cruel.

However, only one person did not laugh.

Jack said anxiously

"You gave Roger the broom and exchanged the Comet 260 for my 230. The 230 is so slow, can you still defend the goal?"

"Of course!" Auston smiled

"As long as your side goes well, the Quaffle will not be able to come to our goal. Besides, my moving distance is very short, and flying between the three goal rings requires such a fast broom to dry. Well."

"And even if you lose, my reaction speed can make up for the lack of a broom, and I promise not to let them score a goal!" Auston replied confidently.
