"I think you're very strong, you need to sign up now."
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Qiu Zhang wanted to say something more, but Dolly pulled him up from the grass.
Qiu Zhang initially wanted to resist, but her body seemed to become a light, fluttering butterfly in the face of Dolly's power.
In an instant, Dolly grabbed its wings, and then, without any resistance, it was pulled back into Dolly's palm, becoming Dolly's prey.
Hermione hadn't even recovered from Dolly's enthusiasm and initiative when she saw the two of them running towards the registration desk, and she could only follow.
Meanwhile, as he stared at the two people's clasped hands, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
Soon, Dolly pulled Cho Chang to the registration point.
Roger Davis, a fourth-year student at Ravenclaw Academy, was in charge of greeting everyone. He was also the Ravenclaw Quidditch team's pursuer and captain.
He was looking at the students studying on the grass with a worried expression; he was sure that half of them were Ravenclaws.
Despite his repeated requests that anyone interested in Quidditch should sign up with him, he was practically asking everyone he knew.
But even now, he hasn't found a suitable seeker.
The Seeker is undoubtedly the most important person in a Quidditch game.
In Quidditch, each team consists of seven players: a goalkeeper, three chasers, two beaters, and one seeker.
As for the rules of the game, there's no need to go into the details; the final rule is that whoever scores the most points wins.
Quidditch has three types of balls: the Quaffle, the Runaway, and the Golden Snitch.
The Chaser players pass the Quaffle to each other, trying to get it through the opponent's circle. Each attempt scores 10 points. The goalkeeper is responsible for guarding their team's circle.
Two smaller, more aggressive black balls than the Quaffle are called wandering balls. They fly around on their own, always trying to knock the player off the broom.
The batter is responsible for protecting his teammates from being hit by the wandering ball, while simultaneously hitting it towards the opposing player.
As for the Golden Snitch, it is the key to deciding the game and the reason why the Seeker is so important.
The Golden Snitch flies as fast as lightning, and the Seeker's job is to catch it.
When the Golden Snitch is captured, the team that caught it scores 150 points, and the Quidditch match ends.
Although it seems like the whole game was designed for the Seeker, as the Seeker could win as long as they got the Golden Snitch.
But that's not actually the case. There are instances where the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch and quickly ends the game, but that also means there's a huge gap in skill between the two sides.
Because the seekers from both teams will constantly mark each other, engaging in physical confrontations and a contest of flying skills.
In addition to the Golden Snitch's flying speed, if the skill gap between the two Seekers is not too outrageous, it will be very difficult for one side to get rid of the other and catch the Golden Snitch.
In this process, scoring with the Quaffle is a more practical approach.
If the score is 150 points higher with the Quaffle, then even if the opponent catches the Golden Snitch, there is no way to turn the tide.
A lead of 150 points is equivalent to a lead of 15 goals. Since the players are playing on flying broomsticks, a lead of 15 goals is not an insurmountable goal.
Conversely, the team trailing in points needs to constantly disrupt the team leading in points to prevent them from widening their lead and catching the Golden Snitch.
In summary, Quidditch involves a significant amount of strategic gameplay and is also more violent and bloody.
The roaming ball can really break players' bones and make them fall off flying broomsticks.
It means that the magical world has become adept at treating such injuries; otherwise, after a fierce match, there would probably be very few people left who could move.
Of course, as a competition event, its upper and lower limits are indeed very different.
The fastest match was when Ireland's Seeker, Aidan Lynch, caught the Golden Snitch just three seconds into the game.
The slowest match was between Nottinghamshire and Kent, which lasted three months, during which neither team's Seekers found the Golden Flying Thief.
Finally, with both teams' players and spectators exhausted, the referee had to force the match to end.
However, it is precisely this great uncertainty that makes the competition so exciting and can easily drive people crazy.
The most boring thing is knowing the result without watching the game.
Understanding these points makes it clear why Roger desperately wanted a good finder.
If he really can't find it, he can only replace someone else from the team as the Seeker. He doesn't need to catch the Golden Snitch; just trying to stall the opponent so they can't catch it either is enough.
This would turn Quidditch into a fierce battle, but it's still more respectable than being caught and defeated by the Golden Snitch within the first three to five minutes.
Just as Roger's patience was running out, Dolly pulled Cho Chang over.
Roger didn't show much interest in the two little girls running towards him.
Dolly is already famous, not only for her beauty, but also because she is Harry's sister.
I thought Dolly had made quite a name for herself in the past few days.
However, to enroll in Quidditch, one must be a second-year student.
Cho Chang is a second-year student, but every Ravenclaw member knows that Cho Chang is a rather quiet and well-behaved child.
Roger would rather just pick any tall boy who isn't afraid of the Quaffle than let a kid like that play Quidditch.
Even if Ravenclaw's Quidditch team faces difficulties, they still need to maintain their gentlemanly conduct, right?
Maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, Roger said, "What can I do for you? If you'd like to play with flying broomsticks for a while, please wait until after our training this afternoon."
"I can reserve the spots for the flying broomsticks for the two of you first."
Qiu Zhang became even more nervous, and even turned his back as if he wanted to run away.
But Dolly's hand held her like an iron clamp, and she even pulled Cho Chang to her side with a forceful tug, simply hugging Cho Chang's arm.
Cho Chang simply closed his eyes, awaiting his fate, but Dolly declared, "I want to sign up for Quidditch! I want to be the Seeker!"
"Senior Qiu Zhang came with me; she was worried about me coming alone."
"Eh?"
Qiu Zhang then opened his eyes and looked at Dolly in surprise.
That doesn't seem to be their plan, does it?
Dolly tilted her head slightly, her golden hair flowing down her shoulders like water, her emerald green eyes full of laughter, and she even winked playfully.
Finally, he raised a finger and placed it on his delicate red lips, a beautiful scene that left Qiu Zhang mesmerized.
They even forgot about being nervous.
After all, Dolly is now the main character, and she's just a supporting character.
This not only perfectly matches her persona as a gentle senior who takes care of her junior, but also makes it impossible for her to feel nervous.
Roger's face fell, and he put his hands on his head, saying, "Miss Dursley, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but unfortunately, first-year students cannot enroll in Quidditch."
"Who says it can't be done?"
Dolly looked around and, finding no one else, said, "You know my brother, right?"
"Of course, who doesn't know the famous Harry Potter?"
"He's already Gryffindor's Seeker, that's their secret weapon."
Dolly sold Harry out without hesitation.
After all, Dolly gave Harry a Nimbus 2000, and with the one Professor McGonagall gave him, Gryffindor now has two top-tier weapons that surpass the level of their peers.
Given Harry's inherent talent, if he still can't win, then it's only because he didn't perform well.
Roger jumped up in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
He certainly wouldn't believe it if someone else said that to him, but this person is Harry's sister.
Most importantly, he had heard about Harry's previous outstanding performance, but he didn't take it too seriously, after all, Harry was only a first-year student.
But now, if Gryffindor uses Harry as a secret weapon, they could indeed be caught off guard.
Roger's expression grew brighter the more he thought about it. He thanked Dolly directly, saying, "Thank you so much, Miss Dursley. You're a true hero to Ravenclaw!"
"Of course, I'm a Ravenclaw too, aren't I?"
"But since I'm the hero, how about giving me some of the rewards a hero deserves, like letting me try to become a Seeker myself?"
This time, Roger didn't take Dolly's words as a joke. He looked Dolly over seriously and said, "Miss Dursley, do you have a talent that's close to Harry's?"
"I just heard you're not in good health. Quidditch involves a lot of physical contact, and some people—well, I'll be blunt, those Slytherin bastards."
“They never care about the rules in order to win, and they will definitely commit fouls, especially when they find out that our Seeker is the weak you.”
"Weak and uncouth, are you talking about me?"
"?"
Roger looked puzzled. "Who else could you be talking about?"
Dolly glanced at the broom on the ground and said, "Get up."
The broom flew into Dolly's hands in an instant, and Dolly held the head while handing the tail to Roger.
Then Dolly dug a small hole in the ground with her toes, buried her toes in it, and said, "Grab it, Captain."
Roger, unconvinced, grabbed the broom and looked at Dolly with a puzzled expression.
Dolly smiled and said, "La?"
"pull?"
"pull!"
Roger gave her a gentle tug, which he thought was enough to make Dolly stagger and even bump into the table.
But Dolly didn't move and shook her head, saying, "Senior, didn't you use any force?"
"No, wait a moment."
Roger became interested, took a step back, and tried again, but this time he still couldn't move Dolly.
Roger stared in shock at the slender girl before him. Did she really have that much strength?
Roger then rolled up his sleeves and crouched down slightly, this time using all his strength, and Dolly was finally pulled forward.
But this did not make Roger look down on Dolly; on the contrary, it surprised him even more.
