Chapter 2999 (︶) Ravenclaw’s Tactics
At noon, although more than an hour had passed, in the Hogwarts Great Hall Restaurant, many students who were eating were still discussing today's scene, which was extremely unexpected and short-lived for everyone.
Quidditch match.
Isn’t this?
At the long table in Ravenclaw, many students wearing blue and black Ravenclaw uniforms were discussing in whispers:
“It’s unbelievable!”
"You should have heard about it, right?"
"That little girl Annie, that first-grade ball player, she caught the Golden Snitch in five seconds!"
"Merlin!"
"Only five seconds?"
"At first, I thought that this year's Gryffindor team would be defeated as badly as last year, and their opponent was Slytherin, so I didn't go to see it. It's a pity..."
"team leader!"
"I was there!"
"oh!"
"Then tell me quickly, what is the specific situation?"
"Is this..."
"At that time, I was talking to my girlfriend Monasha and didn't even pay attention. As a result, I turned around and the game was over."
"I was so dumbfounded at the time that I didn't see the specific situation at all!"
"What?"
"Then you might as well not go!"
"Ha ha……"
It can be heard from the conversation that they seem to be from the Ravenclaw Academy Quidditch team, and one of them is even their captain Roger Davis?
Of course, it doesn’t matter who they are, the important thing is: after the Ravenclaw student who went to the competition site but didn’t seem to see the most exciting scene smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, he paused and thought for a few seconds.
The people continued to discuss while eating:
"And me!"
"I was there too!"
"To be honest, captain, I still can't believe it now. That little girl's skills are so superb. She is simply a genius."
"I still remember that in about five seconds, she caught the snitch!"
"No!"
"Seriously, it should be two seconds?"
"Because after the whistle started, no one in Gryffindor moved. At that time, everyone gave up the game because they had given up on themselves."
"result……"
As for the result, the Ravenclaw girl did not continue to talk about it, because everyone knew the result, that is, Gryffindor won the game with such contempt that it almost ignored the opponent.
It is said that after the incident, the Slytherin team and their Dean Snape looked very ugly, as ugly as they wanted?
"Two seconds?"
"How is this possible?"
"Even if you gave me the latest model of Nimbus 2000, from searching to accelerating to catch up, I probably wouldn't have caught up with the snitch in two seconds!"
"That thing is really hard to catch!"
At this time, the Seeker who seemed to be the Ravenclaw team finally spoke.
"But that's the fact. All the teachers and students in the school have seen it, whether you believe it or not!"
"She just caught it, just two seconds!"
"snort!"
"In my opinion, it's not because she is riding a Firebolt?"
"As you know, that is a broom specially designed for world-class competitions. It is the fastest broom in the world."
"But……"
"Even with a Firebolt, it's impossible to catch the Golden Snitch so quickly, right?"
"That's right!"
"If you had used Firebolts for me, I probably wouldn't be that fast!"
"Five seconds, there's no time to look for the snitch!"
"It's not five seconds, it's two seconds..."
"In the first three seconds, no one on the Gryffindor team moved at all!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Having said this, several Ravenclaw players stopped, and then everyone looked a little ugly.
Because they are Ravenclaws, they are not stupid!
Judging from the fact that no one on the Gryffindor team moved from the beginning, they could guess that the opponent seemed to have absolute confidence in Gryffindor's Seeker, so from beginning to end, Gryffindor's
Didn't the players think about competing with the Slytherin players, but instead wanted to win the game in a way that almost humiliated the other side?
"Everyone..."
"You said..."
"Did she use some magic?"
"Does that mean cheating?"
After a moment of silence, a Ravenclaw beater weakly raised his hand and asked anxiously.
"impossible!"
"So many professors were present, including the deans of the four colleges, and even President Dumbledore. I heard afterwards that the professors had specially checked the snitch, and there were no traces of any magic being cast on it."
"Um!"
"Definitely not cheating!"
"She caught it just because of her skills!"
"Of course, it's also possible that it was the Firebolt. Anyway, it was very fast. Many people saw her dive. Is it really like a bolt of lightning?"
"To be honest, it will be a bit dangerous for us to face them tomorrow."
Having said this, the Ravenclaw players fell silent again.
Then, no one could think of any effective countermeasures, and they just fiddled with the food on their plates as if they were chewing food, neither of them having a good appetite.
Because the Hogwarts House Quidditch Cup uses a points system, each house has to compete with the other three houses in the first round, and then the two teams with the highest points can advance to the finals. If the points are
If they are the same, the one with the highest cumulative score will be promoted.
Therefore, in addition to Slytherin House, which suffered a 0:150 defeat, Ravenclaw House and Hufflepuff House also had to face Gryffindor, which was unavoidable.
But now the problem is: Facing that terrifying first-year Seeker from Gryffindor, facing that extremely fast Firebolt, and currently riding Comet series broomsticks, they really have no way to do it. What a gap.
It's really disappointing.
"No matter what, we just need to keep an eye on the little girl!"
"Although you may not be able to keep an eye on it?"
"That's the only way it can be. If only our dean could give us a new broom, even if it's just a Nimbus 2000 for the Seeker!"
"Don't think about it!"
"Even if I write to buy it now, the owl won't arrive until tomorrow evening at the earliest, and it won't be in time."
"Although there are other ways, the dean will not agree."
"Too……"
"Oh!"
"But having said that, if every game ends like this, then the viewers who haven't watched it enough will definitely have opinions, right?"
"That's right!"
"Captain, we should ask the dean to respond to Dumbledore, saying that the rules of the Academy Cup competition should be changed. For example, the Golden Snitch can only be caught after half an hour. That would be fierce and fair enough!"
"right!"
"That way, not only will the audience have more fun watching it, but we can also fight as hard as possible. Otherwise, if it ends in five seconds, what kind of game is it?"
"You say it's easy. How can it be so easy to change the rules?"
"At least we have to wait until the Gryffindor team ends the game every few seconds before the principal and professors will consider changing the rules, right?"
"Anyway, we will definitely have no chance in tomorrow's game!"
"really!"
"But rules are rules. Since Gryffindor's little Annie can catch the Golden Snitch in two seconds, that's her ability."
"If we can do the same, then we can end the game in a few seconds!"
"Isn't it?"
"But the problem is we can't..."
"well--"
"..."
"..."
Having said this, the Ravenclaw players once again sighed in frustration.
"Okay!"
"one way or another!"
"It is impossible to change the rules temporarily. Don't think too much. Let's prepare seriously for the game against Hufflepuff in the afternoon and try to beat them!"
"Then……"
"Tomorrow morning's game against Gryffindor will be done as I just said. Let our Seeker keep an eye on that little girl!"
"She is only in the first grade, and her physical fitness is definitely not as good as ours. If there is no foul, we will just knock her down when the time comes!"
"Then the batter focused on her and hit the Bludger hard towards her!"
Seeing that the morale of the team members was a little low, the captain Roger Davis finally spoke up and slammed the table viciously, deciding on the tactics to deal with the Gryffindor team.
"ah?"
"But she's only eight years old?"
"She is still a child, is this a bit too much for us to do?"
“Not too much!”
"And, let me tell you, we must knock her down as soon as possible, otherwise, with her Firebolt, once she accelerates, you will never be able to catch up with her!"
"That's right..."
"Okay!"
"Then do as Roger said?"
"Just do it!"
"Let's work hard together!"
"come on!"
"come on!!"
"come on!!!"
Despite the different opinions, in the end, the Ravenclaw players used their meal time to finalize the team's tactics for tomorrow's Gryffindor game, and then began to concentrate on their meals.
Because, they have to deal with Hufflepuff House in the afternoon, and then tomorrow morning it will be Ravenclaw House VS Gryffindor House, and tomorrow afternoon it will be Slytherin House VS Hufflepuff House.
Next Saturday is the most critical promotion match.
If they couldn't even beat Hufflepuff today, then they wouldn't have to think of ways to deal with the sudden rise of the Gryffindor 'dark horse' team.
Chapter completed!
