The Fruit of Surgery

"As expected of a wizard, his physical fitness is really good." Shen Fei couldn't help but sigh as he watched the little wizard training on the Quidditch field. Even if he fell off the broom, he would quickly get up and ride on the broom again.

After becoming a professor of Muggle Studies, Shen Fei lived a normal professor's life in Hogwarts. Sometimes he would go to listen to other professors' lectures, mainly Snape's potion class and herb class.

He would also come to the Quidditch field from time to time to train flying. Flying class can be said to be the favorite course of most students in Hogwarts. There is no need to remember those complicated spells, potions, herbs and other knowledge. You just need to ride on the broom and fly.

Not to mention these students, even Shen Fei is the same. Because of the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, wizards in this world cannot use brooms to fly at will to avoid being discovered by Muggles.

This regulation was also incorporated into the law by the International Wizarding Confederation after the Ministry of Magic invented things like cameras and telescopes.

A hundred years ago, there was no such rule. At that time, because trains had not yet been invented, most people went to magic schools by flying on broomsticks.

There, like now, if you want to use a flying broomstick casually, you can only do it in Quidditch matches.

Shen Fei used to be very concerned about whether riding a broomstick would be uncomfortable, such as pain in a certain part. Facts have proved that he was overthinking. When the flying broomstick was first invented, there was indeed such a problem, but the wizarding world is not stupid. After so many years, it has not been solved.

In fact, a cushion can be added to the flying broomstick. In order to look good and not abrupt, an invisible cushion can be added.

And the flying broomstick does not necessarily have to be ridden, you can also sit on it diagonally. For example, Shen Fei likes to sit on the flying broomstick diagonally and float in the air to watch the scenery.

Riding is for acceleration.

Sitting diagonally on a flying broomstick was once a hobby of many female wizards. Unfortunately, after entering modern society, due to the strict control of flying broomsticks, such things have become less and less.

"What a boring game." Shen Fei, floating in the air, looked at the people in training and suddenly shook his head.

"This is Quidditch, Professor, you actually said it's boring." Shen Fei's words made Hermione and Ron on the side look dissatisfied. Shen Fei was not far from the ground at this time, and Ron and Hermione were next to him.

Not only the two of them, many students around heard Shen Fei's words, and they all looked at Shen Fei with dissatisfaction. It was rare for Slytherin and other colleges to share the same hatred.

As a know-it-all and a question-problem girl, Hermione's flying class can be said to be her most hated course, because her flying class is not good, but even so, it does not prevent her from liking Quidditch.

Quidditch in the wizard world is like the World Cup in the ordinary world, which will make fans very crazy. Before crossing, many of Shen Fei's friends were very obsessed with the World Cup, and it was common to watch the World Cup all night.

However, for well-known reasons, although Shen Fei would watch the World Cup, he was not so crazy.

If Shen Fei's words just now were placed in the world of ordinary people, it would undoubtedly be in front of the fans. It is normal to say that the World Cup is not good, and it is normal to be looked down upon.

"Professor, you said he was boring." Hermione's words seemed to have asked the thoughts of the students around her, all staring at Shen Fei.

"Such an unfair game, isn't it boring?"

"It's not fair there, the International Ministry of Magic has been perfecting the rules of Quidditch." Hermione asked.

"Don't you think the score of the Golden Snitch is too high? This is completely a game for seekers. In fact, other hitters, chasers, and goalkeepers can be completely omitted. The two seekers can just compete directly."

There is no time limit for Quidditch games. Everything ends with catching the Golden Snitch. The Golden Snitch has a score of 150 points. Basically, whoever catches the Golden Snitch wins the game, and the contribution of other players is not reflected at all.

The strength of Gryffindor's Quidditch players is not very good, but after Harry joined, Gryffindor turned around at once.

In fact, Shen Fei's words are still biased. It is right and wrong. At first glance, the Quidditch game is unfair, but he is not the first to see it this way. In the wizarding world for so many years, it is not that no one has seen the problem.

Therefore, the wizarding world focuses on the score in official Quidditch matches, because Quidditch matches are a series of matches, and the final score is the winner, so even if you win a single game, it does not mean that you can win the final.

It is not that there have been cases where the Golden Snitch was caught but the final was lost, but such cases are rare.

After all, unless the teammates are too bad, it is very difficult to open up such a big gap.

So in general, Quidditch matches are still somewhat unfair. Of course, there is another problem, that is, the problem of catching the Golden Snitch. Catching this thing depends on the strength of the seeker, but sometimes it also depends on a certain amount of luck.

Because the game time ends only when the Golden Snitch is caught, there have been very embarrassing situations in history. First, the Golden Snitch was caught shortly after the Quidditch game started, and the game ended. Such a situation is undoubtedly very unpleasant for those who want to watch a wonderful game.

In fact, this is still good. The real problem is another situation, that is, it takes a long time to catch the Golden Snitch. The longest Quidditch match in history lasted for three days, which is the most disgusting.

"The best way is to set the time of the game like the World Cup in the Muggle world. When the time is up, whether the Golden Snitch is caught or not, the game must end. Only in this way can the strength of the entire team be seen, rather than relying on one person to change the fate of the team."

After listening to Shen Fei's words, Hermione opened her mouth several times to refute, but because she couldn't find a reason to refute, she sat back with an unhappy face.

As a member of Gryffindor, Hermione is undoubtedly very clear about the situation of Gryffindor's Quidditch team. Of course, she also knows that the biggest change in the team now is because of Harry's joining. Harry's popularity in Gryffindor has also increased thanks to this.

"I'm just saying what I think. Don't worry too much. There will be no changes in Quidditch games in the short term." Quidditch is still an international sport, and there is also the Quidditch World Cup. If you want to change the rules of Quidditch, it is too involved. In addition, now that the Quidditch World Cup has entered the preliminaries, it is even more impossible to change.

If you want to change, at least this Quidditch World Cup must be over.

"Your proposal is very good. I will submit it to the International Quidditch Headquarters." Dumbledore agreed with Shen Fei after hearing his suggestion.

Although the portraits in the headmaster's office have several past headmasters opposed, there are also several headmasters who support it. One of them is the headmaster who watched the three-day Quidditch match.

"Today we will learn Defense Against the Dark Arts." In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Quirrell wrapped a long purple headscarf and started the class with a stuttering voice.

"The Philosopher's Stone, I don't know what effect it has." Staring at Professor Quirrell's head, Shen Fei thought to himself.

The Philosopher's Stone can make people immortal and turn stones into gold. Although Dumbledore is watching, his chance of getting it is very small, but it does not mean that he cannot observe it.
