Soon, it's time for the Hogwarts Quidditch House Cup final.
In the afternoon of winter, a warm sun hung in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the Quidditch field of Hogwarts, which was as wide as the ancient Colosseum, coating the grassland and ancient stands below the field with a layer of light.
Jin Hui.
Of course, there are also the audience.
Because at this time, the stands were full of people, especially the students from Slytherin and Gryffindor. They were waving the flags of their respective houses and shouting excitedly for the upcoming House Cup Quidditch.
Cheering for the finals.
Those who did not join in the cheers and shouts were the students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Of course, they also came to watch the game.
After all, the duel between the two rival houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin can always ignite the passion of all students. Even if their respective houses have been eliminated, that does not prevent them from coming here.
Watch the excitement.
"..."
At this time, in the Gryffindor team on the field, Harry Potter, the heavily armed Seeker wearing a Gryffindor red shirt, was nervously inspecting the Nimbus he had chosen.
2000.
He found that the broom was almost the same as his. They were both brand new ones just purchased by the school. After they seemed to have no problems at all, he took a deep breath. His eyes behind his glasses flashed with determination and he secretly vowed that he would definitely do it today.
Win this crucial game for Gryffindor.
After all, today's game can be regarded as his first and last official game this year, and the playing time is still a full hour. He will definitely not give up the opportunity to perform like this.
"remember!"
As for captain and goalkeeper Oliver Wood, he was making final tactical arrangements to the players except Harry with a serious expression:
"Everyone, listen to me!"
"We are a team! Everyone must cheer me up 200%!"
"No matter how many points we are behind, we can't give up!"
"But I have only one request!"
"Keeping the gap of 150 points is victory!"
"Do you understand?"
Wood's voice is firm and powerful, as if there is an invisible force inspiring everyone.
Although, his mobilization lines were not very good, and he seemed to have decided that he would definitely not be able to beat Slytherin in terms of score, but since he was telling the truth, the team members next to him did not show any rebuttal or frustration.
"no problem!"
"Look at it!"
The Weasley twins, Fred and George, the batters, always have such a tacit understanding. They high-five each other and smile at each other, their eyes full of cunning and confidence.
Although they also know that today they will face the Slytherin team's strong battering lineup, which will put a lot of pressure on them, but if they just ask not to lose 150 points, they still feel that it is very difficult.
A little sure and confident to contain the opponent.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Chasers Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson and Aaliyah Spinnet gathered in a circle and discussed in low voices the specific offensive strategies for later.
Their pretty and solemn faces did not conceal their desire for victory, and the brand-new Nimbus 2000 broomsticks in their hands shone dazzlingly under the warm sun.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Unlike the tense atmosphere of the Gryffindor team, the players on the Slytherin team performed relatively relaxedly. They didn't even continue to arrange tactics, and just stood on their side of the grass and waited.
"snort!"
After staring coldly in the direction of Gryffindor for a while, Slytherin's seeker and captain Marcus Flint snorted, kicked the turf on the ground and sneered at his players.
They said:
"Did you all see it?"
"Well, Wood, wasn't he crazy before?"
"But now the rules have changed, let's make him look good later!"
As he spoke, there was an unquestionable arrogance in his eyes.
And he does have the talent for arrogance, because, as one of the best seekers and captains in Slytherin history, he has never regarded anyone on the Gryffindor team except the little girl's seeker.
Take it seriously.
If it hadn't been for that gifted little girl, if it had been anyone else, even without changing the rules, Slytherin would have defeated the Gryffindor team like in previous years. There is no doubt about that.
"Attention everyone!"
"Everyone in your place!"
"Get on your broomsticks and take off—"
At this time, as the other two referees, namely Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall, each took off and flew to the side of the court, levitating in place, Mrs. Hooch gave an order, and the judges from the two colleges
The players sat astride their broomsticks and rose into the air.
Beep——!
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the players from both sides were already in place, and with a sharp whistle from Mrs. Huo Qi, the game officially began.
"Come on!"
"Austraire!"
"cover!"
The Slytherin team served at the beginning, so after grabbing the red Quaffle, the three Slytherin chasers immediately launched a fierce attack on the Gryffindor team.
Under the cover of their batsman, Osterell made a beautiful dive and soon hit the Quaffle hard towards the Gryffindor goal.
But fortunately, Oliver Wood reacted quickly, made a diving save, and held the ball firmly in his arms.
"Aha!"
"Well done, Wood!"
Harry shouted in the air, then accelerated towards Slytherin's scoring area and prepared to cooperate.
However, Marcus Flint had been waiting for a long time. He flexibly interfered with Harry's progress and at the same time directed his teammates to defend.
"George!"
"clear!"
At this time, Fred and George were not to be outdone.
The two of them cooperated tacitly in the air, weaving a terrifying firepower net, constantly hitting the Quaffles at the Slytherin players to block the opponent's interception.
But unfortunately, Slytherin's batters were also highly skilled. They deftly knocked away or intercepted every Bludger that the twin brothers attacked their players, and at the same time waited for opportunities to counterattack.
"Katie!"
"clear!"
The Gryffindor chasers, namely Katie, Angelina and Alia, launched a fierce attack in the direction of the Slytherin team in a triangle formation.
The three of them cooperated tacitly, constantly interspersing, diving, rising and passing the ball, trying to find and break through Slytherin's defense.
"Oh! Damn it!"
"Anna, go on!"
"receive!"
"!!"
"Ellie——"
However, Slytherin's chasers also defended closely, and the enemy's batters interfered from time to time. Every attack they made was in vain, and the offensive was stagnant for a while.
"quick!"
"Harry, go and cooperate with them!"
Seeing this, Wood, as the captain, was of course so anxious that he circled in front of the goal and shouted loudly.
Because the snitch hasn't come out yet, and Harry, as the seeker, has a very important task. He must cooperate with the team members to score within this crucial hour. In this way, when the snitch comes out, they can
Completely turning the tide of the war around.
"clear!"
Harry nodded, took a deep breath, and accelerated towards the sky, circling in the air like a falcon, trying to block the enemy and create opportunities for Gryffindor's chasers.
"Stop being ridiculous!"
"You have no chance!"
However, that Marcus Flint sneered and clung to Harry, not only trying to interfere with his sight, but also trying to knock him down many times, making him completely unable to cooperate with Gryffindor.
Other team members.
Marcus Flint himself has no intention of helping his teammates at all, because he firmly believes in Slytherin's strength, and Wood's people alone are definitely no match for them!
Therefore, during this period, as the seeker, Marcus Flint only needs to pester the Gryffindor seekers so that his players can attack and defend according to the plan and established tactics.
That’s it.
"!!"
"hateful!"
Facing the senior Marcus Flint, facing an opponent who surpassed him in size and flying skills, and who was still clinging to him, Harry didn't have any good ideas for a while.
, they can only keep flying in the air in vain, swooping down and constantly entangled with each other.
At this time, as the game became intense from the beginning, as the enthusiasm of the audience was aroused, and as cheers and exclamations came one after another, the Gryffindor student Lee Jordan who was the commentator also began to use
The loudspeaker equipment at the Quidditch field began to explain loudly and colorfully:
"Wow! Harry dodged another attack, great!"
"It's a pity that the Golden Snitch hasn't come out now. His substitute Seeker seems useless. That guy Flint has been pestering him, and he can't help at all!"
"Wow!"
"It's so fast, Nimbus 2000 lives up to its reputation!"
"Look! Fred and George, they are like two crazy fire dragons, messing up the Slytherin team!"
"marvelous!"
"It's a pity that there is no room for Firebolt to play in today's game. Otherwise, everyone will surely see what it means to be faster than lightning?"
"pretty!"
"A perfect defense!"
"Captain Wood's defense is really impeccable, and that diving save can be recorded in the annals of Quidditch history!"
"He has blocked Slytherin's attacks three times in a row. I think Flint must be crazy!"
"Hahaha--"
It can be seen that as a Gryffindor student, the commentator Lee Jordan is obviously leaning towards Gryffindor, so much so that he seems to be exalting Gryffindor and belittling Slytherin in his words?
"Lee Jordan!"
So, no surprise, he quickly received a warning from Mrs. Huo Qi.
"All right!"
"I understand, ma'am..."
"Whoa! Whoa!"
"Katie, come on!"
"Yes, you are our chasing star!"
"ah--"
"Dear Anna, why did you lose the ball?"
"Damn it!"
"The Slytherins are starting to score..."
But unfortunately, Mrs. Hooch's warning seemed to be of no use. As the game progressed, when he saw that the Slytherin team soon attacked again and successfully scored, he immediately smashed the table and yelled angrily.
"Lee Jordan——"
Then, without any surprise, he received another warning from the referee.
"All right……"
"I will pay attention..."
"Gryffindor players, please don't lose heart!"
"Slytherin is only temporarily ahead. Flint will definitely not be able to catch the Golden Snitch. Persistence is victory!"
"come on--"
"Wow, another ten! It's a tie!"
"Dear Anna, you are truly our Gryffindor scoring machine!"
"ah!"
"pretty!"
"Harry managed to get rid of Flint!"
"He helped the Chasers stop a Bludger!"
"See, this is our Harry. Although he is useless most of the time, he can finally stand up at critical moments-"
"Wonderful!"
"It's Aaliyah's share!"
"Her flying skills are getting better and better. Her speed is so fast and her figure is so good. With her swooping just now, I almost thought she was going to catch a snitch!"
"It's so fascinating..."
"oh--"
"Slytherin's Austraire scored again..."
"Wood!"
"What are you thinking about? Give them some color and see!"
"So you can't save even a simple ball?"
"Haha, another ten points!"
"Well done Harry, you are our hero!"
"But take it easy next time, you were almost knocked down just now..."
"..."
"Damn it!"
"Slytherin scores again..."
"..."
"!!"
"Well done, George! That hitting action is so cool, it's almost textbook level!"
"Knock them all down——"
"..."
However, although the game was still going on, as soon as he said this, the commentator of Gryffindor House, Lee Jordan, had to shut up.
Because he suddenly discovered that Mrs. Huo Qi, one of the three referees, had flown to his commentary table in an aggressive manner, glaring at him angrily while blocking his sight with her body.
Wow——!
But the audience didn't care about that. They still cheered loudly and watched the game. Various cheers, exclamations and cheers came one after another. The atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
However……
As time went by, the score gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin gradually widened mercilessly.
In the 45th minute, the Slytherin team had relied on its excellent offense and defense to expand the score to 420:230.
Then, without any surprise, the Gryffindor team members gradually showed anxious looks on their faces and made more and more mistakes.
But they still did not give up, and still fought tenaciously to bring the score closer.
But some viewers were almost desperate.
Because as the audience, they have already seen the technical gap between the two sides, and the score difference has been so wide, even if the snitch is caught later, Gryffindor will definitely lose!
Of course, the only people in the audience who were desperate were the Gryffindor House students.
On the contrary, the Slytherin audience was now very excited, and as if to counter the favoritism of some Gryffindor commentator, they were singing in unison and waving their banners!
The students from the other two colleges were also similar, shouting loudly from time to time.
Obviously, in their view, it doesn't matter who wins, as long as they can watch the exciting and intense game.
Now, the Gryffindor team obviously cannot rely on catching the Snitch to win, which is undoubtedly what they would like to see.
"Don't lose heart, everyone!"
At this time, as captain Wood, his voice echoed in the ears of everyone on the field again:
"We still have a chance! Hurry!"
"George!"
"Fred!"
"Cooperate with Anna and the others to score. Stop defending and attack with all your strength!"
"We don't have much time!"
"Compare the scores with them!"
In front of Gryffindor's goal, Wood roared a little manically and looked very anxious.
"!!"
Hearing this, Harry, who had been struggling with the Slytherin captain, gritted his teeth and his eyes became firm.
Then, he took a deep breath, adjusted his condition, and accelerated into the sky again, directly accelerating in a certain direction.
This time, he no longer blindly tried to get rid of Flint, but began to observe the surrounding situation. At the same time, he stared at Slytherin's best chaser, seemingly trying to get rid of him.
I was knocked down directly and you want to force money to be exchanged?
"Fred, George!"
Seeing that Flint was still chasing him, Harry had to shout and ask the twins for help.
"Help me stop him!"
As he said that, he accelerated and rushed towards the Austraire.
"..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Fred and George immediately understood Harry's intention.
So, with tacit understanding, the two of them accelerated towards the Slytherin batters at the same time and started a fierce aerial battle. They also deliberately used the Quaffle several times to intercept the Slytherin captain, forcing the
The captain of Slytherin had to turn more attention to the two brothers.
However, at this moment!
Before Harry could catch up and knock down Slytherin's leading scorer, a crisp bell rang throughout the Quidditch pitch.
Boom—! Boom—!
A melodious bell rang, indicating that the Golden Snitch had arrived.
At this time, Harry and the Weasley twins also discovered in despair: that Flint no longer came to pester them, but immediately turned around and flew around and searched around the stadium at high speed?
"quick!"
"Harry!"
"Substitute! Substitute!!"
But before Harry could come to his senses, Captain Wood waved his hands at him angrily.
Because, when the time comes, the snitch appears!
Although Gryffindor is now seriously behind in the score and it is impossible to win even if he catches the snitch, it can be seen that he would rather lose the game than let that Slytherin Flint catch the snitch.
?
"..."
Phew! Phew!
Although he was a little reluctant, Harry, who was panting violently, had to fly towards the side of the field at high speed immediately, and then replaced a worried little girl who had been napping and was a little bored on the bench.
.
"Really..."
(.)
"How can we play this game if we are so far behind?"
(′～`●)
Looking at the exaggerated score of '530:320' on the scoreboard, Anne curled her lips helplessly.
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"That's it..."
(ψ｀▽′)o
As she said that, she quickly made up her mind and did not go looking for the snitch. Instead, after taking off, she turned around and rushed directly towards the red Quaffle.
"What is she going to do?"
"oh!"
"Damn Merlin—"
"Annie, she got the Quaffle!"
"ah!"
"She scored!"
"etc!"
"That's not right. Isn't she a Seeker?"
"Who can tell me what happened just now?"
Soon, before the audience could react, the Gryffindor commentator, Lee Jordan, grabbed the microphone and stood up and roared in disbelief.
"."
"."
"."
"."
"."
No one could tell the Gryffindor commentator Lee Jordan what had just happened, because the audience was stunned at this time. All they knew was that they didn't seem to react just now, and then they scored inexplicably.
Chapter completed!
