Chapter 27 - Hufflepuff VS Ravenclaw (1/2)

Chris continued to practice the spell for the remaining hours before finally getting the Shield Charm to level 1.

”Even though I did expect it, it's still quite surprising how long it took me to learn this spell,” Chris said as he left the Practice Room.

The first three weeks of November went by in a blink of an eye and it was soon Quidditch season. With Gryffindor's victory against Slytherin on the first match, the Ravenclaw team was now hyped up for their match against Hufflepuff.

”Hey Chris, Potter destroyed those Slytherin slimeballs last week. We have to do the same for those Hufflepuff kids too don't we?” Grant Page said the day before the match.

”Well that is the plan,” Chris said.

”Alright then the match is tomorrow so show them what you've got. Gryffindor may have had a secret weapon, but we have 2,” Roger Davies said.

...

The next morning, Chris was extremely energetic. When he went to the dining hall, all the Ravenclaw 1st year students were starting to cheer for him.

”Hey Chris, you better catch that Golden Snitch!” Michael Corner said.

”Eat a lot. You're going to need it for the game,” Anthony Goldstein said while putting his arms around Chris' shoulders.

”Good luck!”

All the other kids said words of encouragement and Chris happily ate his breakfast.

At 11:00, all the players were in the lockers changing into their blue Quidditch robes. Afterwards, they gathered in a circle.
