Mark's Feint

When Charlie was telling everyone Quidditch tactics, he always used common terms, what Eagle Head Offensive Formation, what Porskoff Ploy, Albert only understood it half-understood, and had the illusion that he was listening to an English class in his previous life.

However, the tactic that interests Albert the most is Transylvanian Tackle.

I learned this word from Charlie, because he banned Mark from using Transylvanian Tackle in the game.

Albert got the answer by asking Wood beside him.

According to Wood, Transylvanian Tackle is actually pretending to prepare to hurt the opponent, such as pretending to hit someone, whether you punch the opponent in the nose, bump the opponent's chest with your elbow, or even prick the opponent's eyes with your fingers. As long as you do not touch the opponent, all fake actions are legal.

The tactic Mark is best at is Transylvanian Tackle. Sometimes he will wave a stick and pretend to hit someone, or hit his opponent's chest with his elbow, or even collide with the opponent intimidatingly on a broomstick.

No one knows whether Mark Transylvanian Tackle next time will be real or fake. After all, no one wants to be hit head-on. This is more annoying than being targeted by Bludger.

After all, if you are targeted by Bludger, with the help of your own Beater, and if you are targeted by Mark, you can only ask for blessings.

This puts pressure on the opponent targeted by Mark.

As for if you really hit someone? Of course you will be sentenced to violation. Mark's excuse is always valid. His own Transylvanian Tackle failed. It's strange that he admits his mistake sincerely...

Anyway, he was sentenced to a violation. This situation is not serious. At most, he will give Bludger to his opponent. The player who received an elbow or a stick is unlucky.

"Is it true or false?" Albert murmured.

"Haha, look, Charlie, Albert also know the secret of Transylvanian Tackle, why don't you understand? Fake moves must be real and fake, otherwise how can you scare the opponent?" Mark made an exaggerated swing with his bare hands. "Now, when everyone sees me raising the bat, they have to stay away."

"Don't quibble, you know very well what happened last semester." Charlie warned sternly, "Anyway, you are no longer allowed to use Transylvanian Tackle in the competition, did you hear that?"

"Okay." Mark blinked.

"What happened last year?" Albert asked curiously. Several other newcomers pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Last year! Before the match with Slytherin, the two sides had a little conflict outside the court. So, Jack was prevented from participating by the opponent, so Mark was on the playing field..." Danny tried not to laugh out loud, raised his hand and made a swing, and explained in a low voice, "Well, Mark used Transylvanian Tackle to knock Seeker of Slytherin off the court. Although he himself always claimed that it was just Transylvanian Tackle's tactical error, Madam Hooch was so angry that he banned Mark from playing football for one semester."

However, Slytherin eventually lost the game because Seeker was missing.

Later, Slytherin's students labeled Mark as sinister. Gryffindor obviously didn't care about this. They were happy to see Slytherin lose the game. Even if the method was a bit disgraceful, after all, the other party did it first.

After half an hour of tactical explanation, the regular players returned to the court to practice Charlie's tactics, while the newcomers Albert continued to fly in circles on their broomsticks.

On the way, there was a slight accident. Albert was replaced by Flying Broom for Fred. Not long after the flight, I was forced to get off Flying Broom.

This time, Fred had to admit that there was indeed something wrong with that Flying Broom.

Quidditch training lasts until half past ten. There is no way, there are only three training opportunities a week. If you can't seize the time to train well, it will not be easy to win the Quidditch championship.

Of course, strict training is only for official players. Charlie gives newcomers free and relaxed training, mainly to cultivate their flying skills and enthusiasm for Quidditch.

Without that enthusiasm, it would be really difficult to survive the difficult Quidditch training. After all, no matter it rains, snows, or thunders, Quidditch's training will still continue.

After the training, everyone gathered in the locker room. Charlie commented on the problems that occurred during the training and recorded the problems. When Quidditch trains next time, he will train specifically on the shortcomings.

"Albert flies well." When Wood took off his protective gear, he glanced at Charlie and said, "He is very suitable to be Seeker."

"Is Charlie going to give up Seeker's position next year?" Jack said exaggeratedly. Of course he knew this was impossible. After all, Charlie was the captain. How could the captain not play?

Several people agreed with Albert's talent, otherwise Wood wouldn't have said that.

"Your younger brother is not bad either." Erin suddenly said, "If we can't find someone more suitable next year, we can let them take our place."

"How about letting Albert do Chaser?" Danny suggested, "I think he should be suitable too."

"I think Angelina is good. That girl is more suitable to succeed you." Mario added, "If she can stand out in the selection next year."

Jack said, "As long as she follows our training, there is no problem."

"Ahem." Charlie coughed and interrupted the discussion, "For some reasons, Albert did not focus on the Quidditch ball. He joined Professor McGonagall's... well, Transfiguration Club."

"Transfiguration Club," Wood asked with a puzzled look, "What is that?"

"Do you see Today Transfiguration?" Erin asked.

"Don't look at it." Wood replied honestly.

Erin was speechless for a while, then thought for a moment and explained, "You can understand it as a group of clubs with concentrated talents who are good at Transfiguration."

"Didn't he just enter school?" Others were a little surprised.

Well, now everyone can guess Charlie's good intentions. This is Seeker who is preparing to leave a substitute for the team.

Although Charlie himself is Seeker, he is about to graduate. After he graduates, if the team cannot find a suitable Seeker, won't there be a ready substitute? Although Albert is busy with Transfiguration Club, if Wood really can't find a good suitor, I believe Professor McGonagall will definitely help persuade Albert to join Quidditch team. After all, they all know that Professor McGonagall loves Quidditch as much as anyone else.

If Albert knew about it, he would definitely shake his head and curse: Don't worry, when Charlie graduates, there will be a pig's foot named Harry Potter to take over Seeker's position.
