Chapter 1180 The Competition Begins

Hogwarts, 10 a.m., Quidditch pitch.

"Well, before the game starts, I'll repeat the rules one last time -"

In the middle of the empty field, Elena's voice bloomed like spring thunder, resounding throughout the Quidditch field.

Unlike the students, parents and professors in the stands, as the referee of the duel, she had to linger in the duel area from beginning to end.

Hogwarts is not a Roman Colosseum. Whether it is Elena or Dumbledore, everyone’s starting point has not been focused on winning or losing or competition from the beginning - the disputes and discussions about this college competition, Most are focused on rules and safety measures.

After careful discussion, the most reliable and safe competition protection is: Elena Kaslana

After last year's large-scale event copy of "The Dark Lord's Trial", Elena is almost the number one person in Hogwarts field control and event organization today.

From rule making to safety protection, from settling disputes to healing the body and mind, she handed in a pretty perfect answer sheet at the end of last year.

Therefore, even Albus Dumbledore would give priority to Elena's suggestions when formulating some rules.

"This college competition adopts a points system, and the side with the highest total score wins."

Elena waved her wand gently, and a silver-white light volume that looked like a substance quietly appeared, floating in front of the contestants gathered on both sides of her.

On the other side, the four magic light curtains floating above the surrounding Quidditch stands also began to change at the same time, turning into a light gray curtain that looked like a huge notice from the Ministry of Magic.

Golden-red flames and silver-green flames jumped out of the air, and lines of magic words were outlined on them quickly.

[The First House Tournament: Gryffindor VS Slytherin]

[Start time: Saturday, 10 a.m.]

[Form: grade level, grouping, indiscriminate magic confrontation]

[The competition adopts three competition formats: 1V1 individual competition, 2V2 team competition, and 5V5 team competition]

[Specific rules:]

[Each wizard can only participate in one competition and cannot play twice. 】

[Duel rules are unified in accordance with the "Hogwarts Standard Duel Rules (2.1)" (for specific content, please check the student handbook)]

[The final interpretation of the rules and rulings of this competition belongs to the referee - after the penalty takes effect, it cannot be changed]

"Then, everyone should know the specific procedures and rules."

After everyone had almost finished reading the explanation, Elena looked around and waved the wand in her hand again.

The next moment, all the words and patterns disappeared.

Instead, there are the competing house emblems of Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Under the light and shadow, there are two huge columns of game points. The time of each game and the names of the participating parties are listed below.

"The first match of the college competition:"

"Ginny Weasley versus Irina Ivanovich!"

"The game will start in two minutes. Other players please retreat to the sidelines and wait——"

Elena tapped her toes lightly on the ground, and a broomstick floated to her side silently.

She sat sideways on the broom and swayed as slowly as a feather to a height of about two or three meters above the ground, looking down at the two little witches below.

A pale silver light curtain slowly rose from around the square duel arena, like a translucent veil.

In the center of the light curtain, Irina and Ginny simultaneously drew out their wands and held them in their hands.

"Can't you really put some water in? I can treat you to chocolate..."

Ginny stared nervously at Irina not far away, while using her peripheral vision to look at the dwindling timer above.

If Elena, Hannah, Hermione, and Luna are the school's recognized second-year besties group, then she, Irina, and Danilova are the first-year group of sisters.

Even though the two of them are not in the same house, whether it is Witch Club activities, Quidditch freshman team training, regular classes or even going to the toilet, they spend too much time together, and the more familiar and better Ginny is, the more He knew how powerful the little witch opposite was - she was a genius girl from the Ivanovich family and the biological granddaughter of the former principal of the Kodos Doriz Magic School.

You know, Irina is the youngest shadow prefect in the history of Slytherin House.

On the first night of enrollment, she defeated several senior students alone, an achievement that only Elena had achieved before.

If it weren't for her magic wand that restricted her performance, Irina's performance in class wouldn't even be much worse than that of the second-year seniors.

"Chocolate? No, I represent the dignity of Slytherin House now——"

Irina shook her head seriously, and while there was still a little time left, she whispered like a whisper in class.

"At least add three grilled fish, and fruit pie...the kind you bake yourself, not made by a house elf."

"...Deal! Then you are not allowed to use more spells than those in third grade textbooks!"

Ginny thought for a moment and agreed readily.

"Okay." Irina whispered.

Since coming to Hogwarts, she finally realized how pathetic and shabby the three meals a day used to be.

Not to mention the big herring swimming in the black lake, Ravenclaw's fruit pie and Gryffindor's potato feast were things she had never eaten before.

Although she has many privileges as a shadow prefect of Slytherin, she can only enjoy more leeks, durian, and coriander during her three meals...

Even though Irina's potion tasting skills allowed her to swallow these things calmly, deep down in her heart, Irina still envied Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. Things on the college table, and in this regard, Ginny Weasley is definitely the most enviable among the first years. She can "conjure" almost everything on the table.

After all, Ginny's six brothers are now studying at Hogwarts, and her request is much more useful than a "shadow prefect".

"...Well, ahem...just a reminder."

Just after Irina and Ginny happily concluded the deal, a soft cough suddenly came from above them.

Elena rubbed her temples, looked at the two little guys below who raised their heads to look at her, and pointed around subtly.

"Out of the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, magic has been cast on the duel venue - all your spells and conversations will be broadcast in real time to the surrounding screens..."

The kindest witch in the history of Hogwarts paused with interest, glanced at the two little girls below who were gradually falling into petrification, and continued with the corner of her mouth raised.

"but……"

"I own the broadcasting rights, and I cut out the conversation just now."

Elena looked at Ginny and Irina with admiration, and vaguely felt a hint of Grindelwald's wonderful happiness of "having someone to succeed him."

"After the competition, Irina, please introduce 'Tarot Club' to Ginny."

"I have approved your application for regularization - now, let's have a fight as agreed upon, and remember to make it as exciting as possible -"
