Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 84 Challenge
PS: To make it easier for readers who don't know HP to read, I put some rules about Quidditch in the related section of the work, please go there to check it out. Of course, I will also add some introductions about Quidditch in the main text. Tell me, are there any authors as conscientious as me now? I gave up such a good opportunity to increase the word count. So why don't you hand in your recommendation votes quickly, squinting and smiling\.

Flint was even more pleased when he found that Roger had noticed the broom in his hand. He said with a smile, "Hey! Isn't this Roger?"

Roger, who had been staring blankly at the broom in Flint's hand, was awakened by Flint's voice. He pointed at the broom in Flint's hand and stammered, "This... this is..."

"That's right, the latest Nimbus 2001!" Flint interrupted Roger before he finished speaking, "Besides, we have a total of seven of these brooms!"

After that, the Slytherin Quidditch players behind Flint raised their brooms one by one, and the seven brand new Nimbus 7s sparkled in the sunlight.

Roger was now looking at the seven flying brooms and fell into a deeper state of stupidity. He had thought that with the addition of the Nimbus 7 in Mike's hand, the Ravenclaw Quidditch team would finally be able to surpass other houses in terms of equipment this year. He did not expect that Slytherin House would actually take out seven brooms at once today.

Seeing their captain looking stunned, the little eagles on the field all lowered their heads silently. Quidditch is a sport with very important equipment. Originally, everyone used old flying brooms, which was considered fair competition. But with Harry Potter joining Gryffindor with a Nimbus 2000 last year, the Quidditch arms race in Hogwarts seems to have begun.

This year, Professor Flitwick first assigned Mike to join the Ravenclaw team with a Nimbus 2001, and now Slytherin has equipped the entire team with Nimbus 2001s at once. It seems that this year's Quidditch Cup basically belongs to Slytherin.

"You...how is it possible! How could Professor Snape give you 7 Nimbus 2001s!" Roger shouted loudly, gasping for breath.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you guessed right. Professor Snape certainly won't change our brooms, but that doesn't mean we can't change them ourselves." Flint put his arm around the shoulders of a platinum-haired teenager and said proudly, "Let me introduce you to our new seeker! The current heir of the Malfoy family, Draco Malfoy! He is also the sponsor of our team. The generous Mr. Malfoy sponsored us seven Nimbus 2001s at one time!"

Draco raised his head proudly, looking down at the Ravenclaws without saying a word, as if he was disdainful of communicating with them.

Draco's attitude angered the Ravenclaws. A tall and thin boy came out and said angrily to the complacent Slytherins, "Isn't it just that the flying broom is better? What's so great about it? Quidditch is a competition between people. Your rookie seeker who only joined the team by spending money is no match for Qiu Zhang!"

The boy's words were recognized by the Ravenclaws. Everyone refuted the Slytherins one after another, and the scene became the same as when Mike and Roger first arrived at the stadium.

Draco seemed to be irritated by the boy's words. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Since you think I can't compare to your Seeker, let's have a match now!"

The Slytherins also agreed with Draco, and with the addition of 7 Nimbus 2001s, they were almost invincible.

Roger, who was standing aside, was gritting his teeth at the boy in the crowd who looked very proud, and he felt like strangling him to death.

This boy was a new substitute for the Seeker recruited this year. Roger knew from the beginning that he liked Qiu Zhang, and he also knew that the reason he chose to become a substitute for the Seeker was to have more opportunities to stay with Qiu Zhang.

But what he didn't expect was that this guy would be such a fool and would say such stupid things just to please Qiu Zhang.

Now that he was in this state, he was in a difficult situation. If he refused Slytherin's challenge, the reputation of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team would plummet. If he agreed, the opponent would have seven Nimbus 7s, and it would be extremely difficult for him to win. If he failed, the reputation of the Ravenclaw team would also be hit.

However, if you agree, there is still a chance of victory, but if you refuse, you will fail completely.

Having made a decision in his heart, Roger shifted his gaze from the boy to Flint and said, "Do you think we are afraid of you? If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

When Roger said such a domineering statement, all the young eagles cheered. Mike, who had been watching the excitement, yawned out of boredom. It had been too long since Roger had stopped him in the Ravenclaw common room, and Mike was getting a little impatient.

"Huh!" Mike took out his own Nimbus 2001 from the Traceless Stretching Spell bag and said to Roger, "Roger, I'll lend you my Nimbus 2001. I'm too sleepy to participate in your friendly match. Go for it."

Roger was overjoyed when he heard this. Any dissatisfaction he had towards Mike instantly disappeared, and was replaced by full gratitude.

This Nimbus 2001 was given to Mike by Professor Flitwick. If Mike hadn't asked for it himself, he would never have asked him to borrow it. Because if he offended Mike and made him go to Professor Flitwick to complain, Professor Flitwick would certainly be dissatisfied with him, which would be detrimental to his future development prospects.

And now, before I even hinted at anything, Mike had already taken the initiative to lend me the Nimbus 2001. That couldn't be better.

In fact, in Roger's opinion, it was a waste for a batsman like Mike to use a flying broom like the Nimbus 2001, especially when there was only one high-performance broom in the team.

The best user of this high-speed broom would be the Seeker.

Just as Roger was about to thank Mike, a somewhat artificial voice suddenly came over.

"Mike? What are you doing? Are you running away?" Draco said in a very strange tone, "I didn't expect you to join the school Quidditch team, and you also have a Nimbus 2001. Why don't you be the seeker? It's too boring to compete with a little girl."

Draco's words made Mike stop the action of handing Nimbus 2001 to Roger. He turned around and looked at Draco and said word by word: "Do you really want to die?"

Draco was frightened by Mike's murderous expression, but his proud character prevented him from showing weakness in front of everyone. He swallowed hard, tried to keep his tone calm, and said, "It's not certain who will die between us!"

"Then as you wish!"
