Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 788: The Quidditch Battle
Chapter 789 Quidditch Battle
Gryffindor and Slytherin have left their locker rooms and walked into the stadium in a neat line. The strong smell of gunpowder overflowed on the stadium. Before the game started, the captains of both sides held their hands tightly. Hold each other's hand, as if trying to pinch each other's fingers off.
Lee Jordan is still the same as usual, acting as the commentator of the Quidditch match. When introducing the two teams, he made a slightly biased statement, which attracted boos from the Slytherin students.
For a moment, Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded, but it was soon drowned out by the roar of the crowd, kicking off the filthy ball game.
As Albert expected, the Quidditch pitch became a battleground for both sides.
When Angelina successfully scored a goal and scored ten points for the Gryffindor team, when she was flying around the field with her fists, she was confronted by the Slytherin captain Marcus, and the big man almost killed Angelina Na fell off her broomstick.
The excited screams below were replaced by anger, and wave after wave of fouls came from the scarlet ocean.
Although Marcus claimed that he didn't see Angelina just now and apologized very insincerely to her, he still couldn't escape the penalty.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Gryffindor scored again.
Of course, this can't be left alone, Gryffindor's revenge is coming soon.
Fred "accidentally" hit the back of the head with a bat when he accidentally flew by Marcus, causing the smug guy to slam his head directly into the broom handle, A red mark appeared on his forehead, and nosebleeds began to flow.
Of course, Fred was penalized by Mrs. Hooch for attacking the Slytherin members for no reason.
The game continues and the conflict on the court begins to escalate.
"That guy is really bad, that was definitely intentional."
Isobel, who held up her binoculars, looked a little annoyed, not only by her, but by the girls on the field. Just now, Slytherin's pursuer, Montagu, actually reached out to pull Katie's hair, and pretended that he mistook her head for a ghost ball,
If it wasn't for Katie's legs clipping the broom, she would have fallen off the broom.
"Even the audience found out about Montagu's despicable methods, and they were too embarrassed to pull the girls' hair." Li Jordan raised the microphone and shouted: "Girls, let's wish Montagu forever No girlfriend."
"Jordan, can't you just comment?"
"I'm commenting impartially, Professor!" Lee Jordan quickly moved the microphone away from Professor McGonagall. "The girls also agree with me."
"The commentator is your friend, he's an interesting guy." Penello said to Albert with a smile, not because the commentary game was interesting, but Lee Jordan was explaining that it was interesting for both sides to hurt each other.
The Slytherin team was dissatisfied with the Gryffindor lead and began to resort to any means. Bol hit Arya directly with the club in an attempt to prevent her from scoring, claiming he thought Arya was a Bludger.
It didn't take long for Bol to be retaliated by George. He took an elbow directly with his face, and fell down in pain with his hands covering his face.
Of course, both sides were penalized by Madam Hooch.
"They were literally fighting," Isobel said, frowning.
"I have accumulated a lot of grievances recently, so I said that we should fight before the game, so that the opponent can calm down, so as not to have a strong smell of gunpowder." Albert was not surprised at all, he still clearly remembered In his first Quidditch match at school, both sides sent off the other's players, and the Slytherin team obviously has such a plan now.
From the beginning to the present, most of the game time has been spent on penalty points. Gryffindor has an advantage in penalty points, and Wood is better at saves than the Slytherin keeper.
However, Mrs. Huo Qi was mad at the actions of both parties, and she resisted it so that everyone could get out of the way.
"despicable, shameless and indecent..."
Lee Jordan jumped out of Professor McGonagall's reach and yelled into the microphone, "A direct attack on the goalkeeper."
Wood is really unlucky. The bright save caused him to be noticed by the Slytherin batsman. He was hit in the stomach and arm. Fortunately, the right hand grabbed the tail of the broom in time, so he didn't get off the broom directly. fall down.
Of course, even if he fell straight down, Albert would use a spell to catch Wood, in fact he did.
The whistle was blown again, and Mrs. Hooch yelled at the two Slytherin batsmen, but the penalty was only a frivolous free throw.
Madam Pomfrey was also annoyed by the actions of both parties.
The smell of gunpowder was too strong before the game. Albert suggested that Professor McGonagall invite Madam Pomfrey to sit in the stadium to avoid accidents during the game. Wood was the first beneficiary. After a bottle of potion, put on Albert's broom again and returned to the court to continue the game.
As for Professor McGonagall, she didn't care about Lee Jordan anymore, and was also screaming furiously, obviously also annoyed by this dirty game.
After Wood's incident, the Gryffindor team became brutal and seemed to no longer care about the outcome of the game.
Angelina even rammed the ball directly, grabbed the ghost ball and stuck it directly on Marcus' face.
Fred and George even picked up sticks to beat people around, as if to reproduce the danger of the violent batsman couple of the year. The two of them quickly set their sights on the Slytherin batter, using sticks as weapons, and lashing out at each other. As twin brothers, Fred and George were more tacit than each other and had the upper hand in this confrontation. .
As for the two Bludgers, let them play by themselves!
Mrs. Hooch was shaking with anger and wanted to whistle to stop the riot, but she soon found that her whistle could not make a sound.
Not only on the Quidditch pitch, but even the auditorium began to make noise. I don't know who threw a big dung egg on the Slytherin seat, and immediately blew the powder keg.
The two sides began to throw things at each other, and some people took off their boots and threw them away. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, sandwiched between Gryffindor and Slytherin, were simply suffering.
Looking at the chaotic auditorium, Snape's face, who was sitting in the front row of the Slytherin team, was contorted with anger. Just now, several large dung eggs had fallen nearby, and the air had a disgusting smell of rotten eggs.
Professors also realized that the situation is worse, if not stopped in time, it is likely to turn into a group fight, which is obviously not what they want to see.
They all looked at Dumbledore to see what the Headmaster planned to do with this matter.
Dumbledore was equally astonished by the current chaos, knowing that Slytherin and Gryffindor students often clashed, but did not expect the situation to be so bad.
Chaos is absolutely not allowed in crowded areas.
"Quiet, the game is suspended!"
Professor Dumbledore's loud voice overwhelmed the noise above the stadium, and the noise gradually subsided.
Mrs. Hooch also took the opportunity to blow the whistle, and the sharp whistle echoed over the field.
The members of both teams were severely lectured by the angry Madam Hooch, and then asked to line up to go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. Anyone who fights without authorization during the period will be immediately disqualified from the competition.
Then, they were given a lesson by an angry Madam Pomfrey.
In the chaotic stadium auditorium, the original riot gradually calmed down, and the professors shuttled through the stadium with faces to avoid chaos again.
Professor McGonagall finally grabbed the microphone from Lee Jordan, gave everyone a stern meal, and warned everyone that if they didn't want to watch the game in peace, the school would cancel this year's Quidditch final.
Well, threatening to cancel the Quidditch match is really useful, and both sides settle down. As for the seats between the two, a long section is deliberately separated to form two distinct colors.
"I thought it was going to be played directly on the court."
"Albert, you are a prefect, how can you..."
"If there is a real chaos, even the president of the student council will not be able to do it." Albert interrupted with a smile.
After about half an hour, the game continued. This time, everyone restrained a lot and stopped working directly. Even if they didn’t believe that they bumped into someone, or accidentally slapped someone in the mouth with their bat, they would immediately report to them. The other party gave a sincere apology, which is simply harmonious and friendly... That's why.
The Blur, which was originally ignored, has become the object of competition between the two sides. Using the Bludger to hit the opponent is undoubtedly the most gentleman's way at present.
Harry Potter was hit by a Bludger in the lower back and fell off his broom. Fortunately, it was only five or six feet above the ground at the time, otherwise it would have been too much.
"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall threw a fist at Malfoy angrily. Just as Harry was chasing the Snitch, Malfoy held his broom between his legs and grabbed the tail of the Firebolt from behind. Try to pull it back.
Slytherin's batsman took advantage of Harry's broom being slowed and used a Bludger to focus his lower back in an attempt to knock Harry out of the game.
The stands were instantly filled with boos, jeers and angry shouts, and someone took the lead in throwing objects on the pitch and cursing Slytherin for being mean and shameless.
"I've never seen such a mean guy," Lee Jordan yelled into the microphone. "He's going to try to beat the Firebolt by hurting Harry. This kind of guy should get off the court."
"Oh, look, retribution is coming."
was originally suspended in mid-air, and Malfoy, who was gloating at Harry's embarrassed appearance, was also attacked by a Bludger. The Bludger hit Nimbus 2001's broom handle, causing Malfoy's broom to lose control, falling straight and slanting, and plunged into the auditorium next to it, just in the Gryffindor area.
An enthusiastic audience crowded towards Malfoy, not knowing what to do.
A few seconds later, the crowd dispersed again, and everyone saw Malfoy staggering up from the ground, his clothes covered with footprints.
"Look, how enthusiastic our audience is." Lee Jordan shouted, "They seem to be sending their blessings to Mr. Malfoy through some kind of ceremony."
Haha laughter instantly enveloped the entire stadium, and even Slytherin's dissatisfaction and anger were suppressed.
Malfoy was back on the court, Harry was rehabilitated and the game continued.
Gryffindor is now more than 50 points ahead, thanks to the penalties that came after the clash.
As long as Harry catches the Snitch, they will be able to win the final game, which undoubtedly makes the Slytherin team nervous, readjust their tactics, and allocate more people to hold Harry before he really catches. Live the Snitch.
The game lasted for more than an hour. The players were all scarred. The audience below watched with great enthusiasm. Even Albert had to admit that today's Quidditch final was really exciting. The lower limit of this kind of soaring really broke through his understanding of Quidditch, and what was even more exaggerated was that such a move was not banned.
Oh, Mrs. Hooch's whistle doesn't seem to work anymore.
The noise and noise on the court suddenly disappeared. People only saw Malfoy who was diving. Harry was also accelerating. Although he was behind, the Firebolt's acceleration was very strong, and he was almost catching up with Malfoy. .
A famous Slytherin student knocked Harry aside, and Malfoy was about to reach for the Snitch when he found his broom shaking violently.
Arya jumped from the side and kicked Malfoy's broom, making the Seeker completely lose his pursuit of the Snitch.
The atmosphere around suddenly became weird, because after the two Seekers retired, they were actually replaced by two pursuers chasing the Snitch.
In the end, Slytherin's pursuer, Marcus, managed to catch the Snitch, and as he raised his arms, a loud cheer erupted from the Slytherin audience.
The Slytherins caught the Snitch, they caught the Snitch.
"Oh my God, I really don't know how Slytherin picks the captain, doesn't he know that it's a foul for any athlete other than Seeker to touch or catch the Snitch?" Lee Jordan The voice suddenly became louder.
The atmosphere on the court was stagnant for a moment, and was quickly replaced by a burst of laughter.
The expression on Marcus's face froze ~IndoMTL.com~ The Snitch slipped from the tips of his released fingers and finally spread his wings and slipped away.
After the penalty points, the game continued, the score between the two sides began to widen, and the competition for the Golden Snitch became more brutal.
The Gryffindor team no longer wanted to score, and they adopted a one-on-one strategy to give Harry a chance to duel with Malfoy.
This tactic has proven effective.
After a while, the two started their battle for the Snitch again.
This time, without the interference of other people, Malfoy lost, and he lost very badly, and the performance of the broom was completely crushed. Even if Malfoy finally threw the broom and hung it on Harry's broom, trying to interfere with him to catch the Snitch would have failed.
Harry was more straightforward than Malfoy. He jumped forward and rolled a few times on the ground. When he got up, he raised the Snitch in his palm.
As for Malfoy, he fell to the ground holding Harry's Firebolt, staring stupidly at Potter with his right hand raised in front of him,
lost.
He lost!
