Wizardry System - Chapter 44

Everyone started to get into their own space again and started practicing their spells. Chris was practicing Impedimenta, the new spell after Levicorpus.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve gotten level 1 on this spell. Too bad I can’t practice my other spells,’ Chris thought as he looked at his stats.

‘It’s really getting harder and harder to level up both spells and myself,’ Chris thought. ‘The System doesn’t give me much quests to begin with and I can’t be a jack of all trades anymore like before. I can only specialize in certain spells. Well once I get these spells to around level 8-10, I should be able to move on to a new one,’

From the distance, Chris heard Professor McGonagall congratulate some people.

“Congratulations, Miss Granger, Miss Alder, and Mr. Neal, you three have created a satisfactory Shield Charm. Please go to Professor Snape to learn your next spell,” Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

Hermione and Kristine celebrated and did a high-five. Chris went up to them to congratulate them.

“Well congratulations you two,” Chris said.

“Well it took a lot longer than what we wanted,” Hermione said. “Compared to you, we’re behind by a whole spell. So whatever spell we have to learn from Professor Snape, we would have to learn it fast to catch up to you,”

“Well good luck,” Chris said. “You should hurry, I think Snape is about to lose his temper seeing that you two are talking to me instead of going to learn the new spell. That Slytherin second year is already there trying to suck up to him,”

Chris went back to where he was previously to continue practicing the Impediment Jinx.

Time passed quickly and it was the end of January. It was already in the middle of February and the day before the Ravenclaw and Slytherin Quidditch match.

“Well, today’s the last day of practice,” Brian said. “Our first game of this term will be tomorrow against Slytherin,”

“Well Gryffindor defeated them last time because of Potter and we have Chris,” Jason said. “Chris is much better than Potter in my opinion so we should have a good time,”

(Author’s Note: Jason is one of the Beater. I’ll list the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Chaser:Roger, Brian (the captain), and Aletha. Beater: Jason and Duncan. Seeker: Chris. Keeper: Grant)

“Don’t underestimate their team,” Brian said. “Slytherin has always been a powerhouse and we will always treat them as such. Just because we have Chris does not mean that we will win,”

“But we have these brooms as well,” Aletha said. “Overall, we’re a much stronger team than them in terms of both equipment and players,”

“Regardless, do not let down your guard or we will definitely lose,” Brian said.

Practice was soon over and it was the next day. Like every Quidditch game days, the Dining Hall was excited to see the match.

“Of course,” Chris said. “If I don’t, Father would probably kill me and my teammates for wasting the broom that he bought us,”

It was soon the start of the game and it was extremely chilling with the degree being at the very most 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Alright guys,” Brian said. “This is one of the most important matches. We win this and we’ll have the best chance of winning the Cup. We lose and we’ll have to hope that Gryffindor loses to Hufflepuff. We’re in the lead and let’s keep it that way,”

“Yeah!” Everybody shouted.

They all flew into the field. The Slytherin players also came in and the two teams arranged themselves into their positions. The Slytherin Seeker stared at Chris with hostilty

‘Did I kill his parents or something? What’s with the hate?’ Chris thought. The game started and immediately Ravenclaw has shown to be a better team. They continuously had the Quaffle while the Slytherins struggled to keep up.

‘Oh goodness, this is too one-sided,’ Chris thought. ‘Well I suppose since we had a lot of time to practice, we improved much more from that Hufflepuff game,’

Chris couldn’t find the Golden Snitch, but even without it the score was already 60-0 15 minutes after the game started.

Soon another 10 minutes passed and the score was 100-20 with no sighting of the Golden Snitch. Chris happened to see Draco in the stands where he was furiously yelling. Seeing this made Chris chuckle. However, he spotted a glittering object near Draco.

The game was over with the score being 250-20 and the Ravenclaw students were cheering deafeningly.

After the match was the meal and all the Ravenclaw first years congratulated Chris.

“Nice catch Chris!” Terry Boot said.

“Well the score was already 100-20. Even without the Golden Snitch, we probably would’ve won,” Chris said.

“True. Slytherin played horribly today,” Kristine said while chuckling. “Well Chris, you saved our vacation,”
