Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 31: Badger and snake contest
The Quidditch game is getting closer. Although the little badgers of the Hufflepuff team are still working hard, there is still tension before the game. This is a huge change from Hufflepuff's previous mentality-this time they are really thinking about how to win.
One afternoon, the weather was pretty good.
The bright sunshine illuminates the earth, making everyone feel the warm atmosphere. The enchanted lawn was as neat as it was measured by roots, rippling layers when the breeze passed by.
A colored flag is planted on the top of each viewing seat tower. Red and gold are Gryffindor, silver and green are intertwined with Slytherin, and Ravenclaw is blue and bronze. Only Hufflepuff's flag is inconspicuous black and yellow. To be honest, it looks a bit unruly.
When Maca flew out of the team’s entrance aisle with the Light Wheel 2000 and waved his hands around the field, the whole game was boiling!
is probably because the Hufflepuff team’s secrecy measures are so good! Most students did not expect that there was a new member in their team, and they were still a freshman!
In Hogwarts, Maca's reputation is still good. His outstanding performance and low-key attitude have won him the favor of many students. Therefore, the cheers at this time are particularly warm!
"We got this exciting news before the game! With the approval of the principal, Professor Dumbledore, Maca McLean was selected and officially joined the Hufflepuff Academy team. He became our Hogwarts The youngest Quidditch player in a century!"
"Everyone cheer for Maca McLean—"
The two commentators announced loudly in excited tones, and the atmosphere in the venue became more enthusiastic.
"Okay, let's take their place!" Team Darren waved his hands, "David, Mark, hold the bat steady. According to the tactics, everyone relax!"
The three chasers including Maca stopped in the center of the arena. The Slytherin on the opposite side also flew over. Three players, everyone hovering in the air around Mrs. Hooch on the ground, waiting After the start of the game, scramble for the ghost fly ball as soon as possible.
Mrs. Hooch stretched out her foot and kicked the ball box. As the box lid opened, all three **** except the Guifei Ball were lifted off one by one.
"The wandering ball has lifted off, followed by the Golden Snitch! Remember, the Golden Snitch is worth 150 points. If the seeker catches it, the game is over!" The commentator started the game with enthusiasm. Official commentary.
"Prepare! The ghost fly ball is in the sky, the game begins--!"
Maca stared at Madam Hooch and tossed the ghost fly ball to the highest point, and then he moved!
The light wheel series is worthy of being a flying broom known for its excellent performance. Under the control of Maca, it speeds up extremely fast. It was almost a straight speed-up time, he took the lead in taking the Guifei ball!
But Maca didn't hold the ball for too long at all. While leaning forward at a high speed, the Guifei ball was gently thrown under him and concealed. The short-haired girl Christine received it!
When the two Slytherin chasers just chased after Maca, who had slowed down, they found that there was no ball in Maca's arms.
"Fucked!"
The Slytherin players were furious, they just wanted to turn back, but Maca rushed to the sky before them.
A wandering ball was hit by a Slytherin batter, and it was flashed by Maca beautifully.
"Here!"
Charles, the only one who can compete close to the tall Slytherin players, has broken through the opponent's batsman's defense and came to Slytherin's left goal ring.
Christine, who was still dashing forward at a low altitude, tried to throw it up.
"Oh-she didn't get the ball in place!" the commentator yelled.
Yes, Christine threw the ghost fly ball into a place where no one was.
"No, it's wrong, that's McLean! McLean dived from high altitude, McLean avoided two consecutive walking balls! McLean caught the ghost fly ball! McLean pitched!"
"——Slytherin's goalkeeper is still on the left, is he in time? He is too late! The goal is scored! Hufflepuff 10 points!"
The ghost fly ball rubbed the fingers of the opposing goalkeeper and flew into the center circle. This series of cooperation made the scene boil again.
"Gosh! Look, everyone! Look, everyone! McLean is the youngest member of the academy in a century! A century!"
Slytherin took the ball next, and their chaser looked quite strong. I saw that they cooperated with each other, forcibly squeezing Charles out to interfere, trying to score in a straight line.
Maca quickly flew to the two positions in front of them and glanced at the batter David.
David immediately understood, flew high in the sky, and hit a wandering ball towards Maca with one shot. Maca dodged, and the wandering ball that was hit just landed on the face of the Slytherin player.
"Boom!"
Maca stretched out his hand, and the ghost flying ball that dropped from the opponent's hand fell accurately into his hand.
I saw him leaning forward again, almost exactly the same as last time. Slytherin's chaser was a bit dazed, but they still sent someone to chase him in accordance with the basic tactics.
But other people's attention had to be distracted because of Hufflepuff's first round of tactics.
Slytherin’s reaction was in Maca’s expectation. He turned twice in a row to maximize the flexibility of the Halo 2000. The Slytherin chaser was thrown away by his fake action. Five positions.
"Oh! McLean is in front of the goal again! This time it's the left knocker. Is he going to pitch?"
Maca will naturally not throw the ball so easily, because the probability of being saved by the opponent's goalkeeper is too high.
He suddenly rolled over when the Slytherin goalkeeper was fully alert, and the goalkeeper immediately followed and moved towards the center gate. But Maca suddenly hovered, making a throw, actually intending to throw the ball to the left again.
"—Is it the left door? Is it the left door? Oh—it's not!"
The goalkeeper leaned over and rushed to the left goal, but Maca backhanded the ghost fly ball to Christine who had just arrived in front of the center goal.
"The ball has scored again-Hufflepuff 20 points!"
In the next game, Maca almost dominated the entire arena.
He lured the opposing batter to attack him, and created another chance for Christine; he dodges the interference of the opposing two chasers on him, so that Charles and Christine cooperate perfectly; he With dazzling flying skills, the opponent's goalkeeper slammed into the goal post; he even used Charles's size to cover, so that the opponent's players almost couldn't find him!
The score has been rising all the way, and the enthusiasm of the audience in the field has reached the highest peak of this Quidditch Cup as of this field!
"Golden Snitch!"
Hufflepuff's Seeker Charlotte discovered it first.
Maca was moving fast while observing the movement of the audience. He found that the opponent's seeker was flying to Charlotte, which was the seeker's follow-up tactic.
When the seeker has not found the Golden Snitch himself, but the opponent has found it, it is obviously better to follow the opponent closely than to find it blindly. This is one of the basic tactics for seekers, the simplest but also the best.
The current score is one hundred to thirty. Although the Quidditch Cup is based on a total points system like the World Cup, winning or losing in a single game does not determine everything, but 150 points are of value that cannot be ignored.
Also, Hufflepuff has lost one game so far, and Maca still wants to use these 150 points to recover his points!
Charlotte’s flying skills are good, even in Maca’s point of view. But Slytherin's Seeker is a despicable guy with very dirty behavior.
I saw the other side interfering with Charlotte back and forth, and even forcibly ramming the end of her broomstick, trying to make her fall. The other players are chasing each other as much as possible to prevent the opponent from having an influence on the seekers on their side.
"Humph!" Maca snorted and rushed straight over there.
Except for the Seeker, it is a foul for other players to touch the Golden Snitch. But even if he doesn't touch the Golden Snitch, is he really helpless?
Maca once again easily shook off the chaser who followed him, spotted the position of the Golden Snitch, and then directly pointed her shoulder at Charlotte's back.
"Oh!" Charlotte was hit by him like this and almost passed away~IndoMTL.com~ But it turns out that Maca’s top is so accurate. Charlotte's right hand stretched forward. He caught the golden snitch flying in front of him.
"She caught the Golden Snitch! Charlotte Werther caught the Golden Snitch! She succeeded! The game is over, 250 points to 30 points, the game is over! Hufflepuff has won!"
Following the sound of a whistle, in the excitement of the commentator, Mrs. Hooch waved to indicate that the game was over!
Maca flew around the field for a while, thanking everyone for their support. He saw that Dumbledore smiled and the big white beard was shaking with it, and it seemed that he really liked the sport of Quidditch.
"Good job, Maca!" Team Darren patted Maca on the shoulder excitedly.
He missed three goals this time, and Slytherin had only four shots in total. To put it bluntly, this is really a soy sauce player in the game.
But everyone doesn't care about this. He has seen Darren's hard work during training. There are always one or two things that people are not good at! As a captain, Darren is very effective in motivating the players and summarizing the tactics, and this is also the most important ability of the captain.
After summing up the gains and losses in the game with everyone, Maca left the locker room.
Outside, many Hufflepuff's classmates were crowded at the door, and the crowd was occasionally mixed with some Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students. As for the four colleges of Hogwarts, apart from Slytherin, the other colleges are relatively friendly to each other.
Maca looked at the lively scene in front of her, and suddenly felt that it was time to go to Ravenclaw to take a look. It is said that there are some unique collections in the Ravenclaw Tower, which are distributed on every bookshelf in the tower.
