The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 57 Quidditch Matches and the Arrival of Christmas

As November arrived and the weather gradually turned colder, Andy received new clothes from home, which were reportedly picked out by his little girl, Isabel.

You've got a conscience!

Andy decided to wait until Christmas to go home so he could spend some quality time with Isabel.

I wonder if this little girl has become distant from me after not seeing her for several months.

The first Quidditch match at Hogwarts will begin in early November. According to the tournament schedule, the first match this year will be between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

A clash of arch-rivals!

Even before the competition began, sparks were already flying between the two academies.

Gryffindor and Slytherin were already at odds, and the rumors that Harry and Ron had attacked Malfoy with dark magic only exacerbated the tension between the two houses.

Just yesterday, the two colleges almost broke out into a war in the auditorium.

If Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape hadn't arrived in time, Gryffindor and Slytherin would have really come to blows.

The first-year wizards were very nervous, but the older students were used to it.

After all, this kind of thing happens several times a year.

"Is Quidditch really that fun?" Hermione casually flipped open a book about Quidditch, but couldn't muster any interest.

You'll see when you see it.

Andy said, "I don't really like it. It's okay to do it a few times now and then, but I'm not as enthusiastic as those people."

In fact, wizards like Andy who dislike Quidditch are considered heretics in the wizarding world. Wizards have very few forms of entertainment; the wizarding world doesn't even have television.

Not to mention game consoles and computers.

Let's go!

Andy stood up and said, "The match is about to start, let's go take a look!"

"Yes!" Hermione nodded.

Arriving at the Quidditch stadium, it had become a sea of ​​joy.

Even before the competition started, the young wizards were already excited, with banners cheering for their own academies displayed everywhere.

Andy and Hermione went to Ravenclaw and found a good spot to wait for the match to begin.

The match began quickly after both teams entered the field.

At only eleven years old, Harry Potter appeared somewhat small among the older students, but he flew very well, at least better than Andy.

Watching a game at the stadium is completely different from reading about it in the newspaper. Surrounded by this lively environment, Andy gradually began to appreciate the joy of the game.

The little witch was also very happy watching, and she would clap and cheer whenever either side scored a goal.

"Hey Hermione, want some snacks?" Andy handed Hermione some snacks.

When did you buy it?

Hermione looked at her suspiciously. "You didn't sneak off to Hogsmeade, did you?"

Snapped!

Andy flicked Hermione's forehead in annoyance. "I bought it with an owl. Who goes out to buy things anymore? Doesn't it get tiring!"

To be honest, online shopping in the wizarding world is better than in the Muggle world of this era.

After all, owls are wizards' good friends.

"Oh!" Hermione covered her forehead, feeling wronged. Even snacks couldn't soothe her short-circuited brain.

The competition is getting increasingly intense.

The Gryffindor team was stronger than Slytherin overall, and within just twenty minutes of the start of the game, Gryffindor had already taken a lead by several goals.

However, Slytherin had taken the word "ruthless" to its extreme.

When Gryffindor's Angelina Jensen caught the ball, two Slytherin Chaser rushed over to sandwich her, forcing Angelina to crash headfirst into the stands surrounding the field.

"Foul! Slytherin used a dirty double-team tactic, that's a foul!" Jordan Lee, the commentator, shouted excitedly, not knowing whether it was a tactic or a foul.

As the game continued, Gryffindor's goaltender Oliver Wood was also knocked unconscious by a stray ball.

Without a goalkeeper, Slytherin quickly overtook Gryffindor in the score.

Andy's gaze swept over Harry.

Harry's flying broom is the latest Nimbus 2000 model, and it already has some protective magic on it.

In the original story, Quirrell, however, could silently interfere with Harry's broom without anyone noticing.

Clearly, Quirrell is not as incompetent as he appears.

Fortunately, Quirrell had already been expelled from Hogwarts, and Harry's flying broomstick was fine, so he quickly caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game.

"It seems Gryffindor has won the match."

Andy looked at Hermione and smiled, "So? Do you think Quidditch is interesting?"

"I think it's quite interesting."

Hermione was still quite excited. "The match was intense, and I've never seen a ball game played like that, with the ball flying through the air."

"The next match is Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff, we'll see then!" Andy said.

"Okay!" Hermione replied happily.

……

Over the next few weeks, Andy returned to his normal school life.

My life revolves around three points: class, library, and practicing magic.

Occasionally, when it was late at night and everyone was quiet, Andy would go to the restricted book section and secretly read a few books.

However, Dumbledore never appeared again, and it's unclear whether he condoned Andy's behavior.

Of course, Andy never used the Great Summoning Spell again.

After all, jumping back and forth repeatedly looks a bit silly.

Although Andy really wanted to discuss the Obscurus issue with Dumbledore, it wasn't something that needed to be rushed.

Even if Dumbledore really said something, it would be difficult for Andy to investigate it given his current abilities.

Aside from occasionally pondering his future magical path, Andy focuses more on enriching himself in the present. He learns more magical knowledge and masters more spellcasting techniques.

As December arrives, the weather becomes increasingly cold.

It snowed a few days ago, and Andy added a sweater under his wizard robe.

Time flies!

Sitting by the fireplace in the common room, warming herself by the fire, Hermione said with a wistful expression, "Andy, how do you wizards celebrate Christmas?"

"Probably similar to you Muggles!"

Tomorrow is the start of the holiday, and Andy doesn't know whether he wants to go home more or miss the Hogwarts library more.

But when Andy thought of his parents and little girl at home, he was still filled with anticipation.

Don't forget to write to me even during your holiday!

Hermione gave a brief instruction, then asked, "By the way, would you like to read some Muggle books?"

"Let's forget about that!" Andy quickly shook his head.

When Andy goes back this time, he wants to ask Kyle and Helen for some magic that Hogwarts doesn't teach, so he doesn't have time to read Muggle books.

I've read enough of those kinds of books in my past life.
