Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 125: Quidditch Finals
The game between Slytherin and Hufflepuff will be played in the first week after Easter. This is also the last game. After this game, the scores of each college will be counted. This is the standard to get the final champion.
Gryffindor is currently ranked first, and the lead has a great advantage. Even if the first game was lost, but with the unremitting efforts of the entire team and the excellent performance of the Harry Firebolt, they successfully recovered After losing its declining trend, it became number one.
Hufflepuff’s lounge is full of a touch of earthy fragrance. This is a round low-roof room. The warm sunshine of early spring shines on the floor through the windows, and there are many hangings beside the windows and the ceiling. Green plants, in all fairness, Hufflepuff’s common room is the most peaceful place to make people feel at ease.
However, even in such an environment, the students in the lounge now maintain a solemn expression.
"Tomorrow is our game against the Slytherin." It was Cedric Diggory who was talking, a boy with a high nose, black hair, black pupils, and a beautiful format. He is now He is in the fifth grade and serves as the seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. This is also the core figure of a team, and his performance can often affect the outcome of the game.
Of course, their strategy is not only limited to victory, but also because of the points system. They are also likely to win the game and lose the trophy, so they pay great attention to the strategic deployment.
Hufflepuff players are nervously discussing the tactics they will use tomorrow, because they not only want to win, but also to win beautifully.
"I'm a little weird." A short, fat, dark-skinned female student said suddenly.
"What's weird?" another student asked.
"Slytherin students have not even provoked these days. In previous years, as long as there were games in their academy, they would constantly provoke opponents." The female student said weakly.
"This is a good thing, we advocate fair competition, and the current Slytherin students may also understand that strength is the only effective way to prove themselves on the court." Cedric said.
Facts proved that he was wrong, at least in such a game, strength is not the only one, if hardware does not belong to the category of strength.
When the seven Slytherin players appeared on the stadium wearing their green shirts on the day of the game, the entire stadium was dead first, and then all the audience in the audience was boiling.
"My God!"
"How can they do this!"
All the audience almost stared their eyes out. They couldn't believe what they saw before their eyes.
Slytherin’s seven players, everyone holds a firebolt in their hands.
Ron and Harry in the stands seemed to have been under the hold spell. Ron's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he could even swallow a toad right away.
"This, this is really incredible." Li in the stands screamed, tearing his hair frantically. "Seven Firebolts, did they steal a Quidditch national team's broomstick?"
Then Professor McGonagall stared at him fiercely, which was warning him to reduce his tone of speech.
The basic ethics of a commentator should still be at least objective. Lee Jordan is not doing this well.
"Maybe the audience did not fully understand Firebolt. In the previous games, Harry Potter of the Gryffindor team used this style of broomstick, which largely helped their team gain Victory." Lee Jordan swallowed and said dryly: "This is the most perfect flying broomstick in the wizarding world today. There is no one. In addition to perfect craftsmanship and material selection, Firebolt even uses fairy craftsmanship. Including pedals, support plates and brackets, allowing athletes to maintain their balance even in inclement weather without bumps."
Lee Jordan paused and then said: "I still don't know how they did it. It is said that the output of Firebolt is extremely low because the goblin workers in charge of important links can easily strike out because of a small conflict. "
The audience is not all enthusiastic fans, but they only know one thing, that is, this broomstick is very powerful, and Harry’s firebolt makes the Gryffindor team even more powerful. Now they are on the court at the same time. There are seven, so it's obvious how the game will go.
"Don't panic." Cedric remained calm. He is the seeker and captain of the Hufflepuff team, so he must remain calm at this time. When the backbone of the team cannot remain calm, then It is really defeated without a fight.
" Calm down, my friends, sometimes advanced equipment does not mean anything. I am not comforting you, but think about it for yourself. This is the first time they use Firebolt competition. Can they adapt? Suitable for themselves The best is the best. We have to learn to believe in the partners who have been with us for so many years, right?"
The momentum of the morale decline was stopped by Cedric's words.
Seven Firebolts appeared on the stage, and even Madam Hooch was stunned by it. She didn't expect the Slytherin students to be able to do this.
But she still made her mind. Her job is to act as a referee. It is their freedom for students to use flying broomsticks.
"Captains, shake hands!, said Mrs. Hooch.
Flint and Cedric approached each other, walked towards each other, and held each other’s hands. The latter also smiled politely at Flint, which made him mad
Then the two went back to the front of their team.
"Go to the broomstick!" said Mrs. Hooch, "three--two--one--"
Fourteen broomsticks soared into the air. It was obvious that the starting speed of the Slytherin team members had already surpassed their opponents and reached the air first.
"Now the game officially begins." Lee Jordan began his commentary, "I have to say that Firebolt does give the Slytherin a great advantage. All their players are facing away. The ball is obviously much easier, just slightly change the direction and accelerate, the threat from the wandering ball will disappear."
"Now the ghost fly ball is under the control of Montague of the Slytherin team, galloping towards Hufflepuff's round gate." Lee Jordan wiped his eyes and said, "Slater Team Lin was the first to score! Montagu swooped down in a straight line and brought the ghost ball into the goal. The Hufflepuff goalkeeper didn't even react!"
Slytherin's auditorium was cheered, and the heads were moving like rolling green waves.
"The only chance for the Hufflepuffs is to be on the Golden Snitch. If their seeker Cedric can catch the Golden Snitch in time, they will still be able to win this game!" Li Jordan did not Stopped to cheer for the Hufflepuff team.
Cedric try to keep himself calm, although he does not agree with the saying that one person saves a game, but it seems that the victory of this game is likely to be pinned on him, except for the rapid flight and convection. The resulting noise suddenly heard a piercing sound from behind him. He keenly turned his broomstick and flew vertically upwards, avoiding this attack, but when he could breathe a sigh of relief in the future, another A wandering ball rushed towards him again, hitting him **** the back, making him almost fall off the broom.
And Pansy is surrounded by him at this moment. Whenever Cedric moves, Pansy will closely follow him to harass.
"What tactic is this?" Lee Jordan cried loudly. "The two Slytherin batsmen and their seeker actually faced Hufflepuff seeker Cedley at the same time. Gram!" Lee Jordan suddenly slapped his palm, and said: "I understand, he is now using his equipment advantage to steadily fight, as long as he drags Cedric, relying on the excellent performance of the Firebolt, Slytherin The team can rely on the ghost fly ball scores obtained by the chaser to win the game!"
After the explanation, Lee Jordan’s face suddenly changed drastically, and then he said solemnly: "In this case, Gryffindor will become dangerous."
"Are we in danger?" Ron muttered to himself. Some could not believe what Lee Jordan said. It is obviously Slytherin and Hufflepuff who are in the game now. What is their business?
"I'm afraid he didn't make a mistake." Harry said blankly, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Ron knew the reason soon.
The ghost fly ball relentlessly passed through the Hufflepuff team’s goal time and time again. Their goalkeepers couldn’t adapt to the lightning-fast speed of the Firebolt. Even if the eye catches the Firebolt occasionally, the body has to make judgments By the time it was too late.
10 points, 20 points, 30 points, 50 points, 100 points, the scores of the Slytherin team are increasing, and how can the Hufflepuff team, which has difficulty even encountering the ghost ball? The score is still zero so far.
Yes, they had special training on Harry’s Firebolt before, but it was for seekers at that time, because Harry is a seeker, and he is not a seeker. The golfers' work, so all the exercises for reaction speed are all done by Cedric. The other Hufflepuff players don't have such training.
"Cedric was another beautiful dive. He saw the Golden Snitch! He went straight for his only hope, oh no! Two ghost flying **** were taken by Bor and Derek of the Slytherin team They were hit hard, and they were rushing in the direction of the Golden Snitch. From the speed of the ball, they all used their greatest strength. If Cedric wanted to catch the Golden Snitch, he The back of his head may be broken!"
"It's a pity that Cedric still chose to avoid these two balls."
"Jordan, if you can't continue to explain in a fair and impartial manner, and continue to use this kind of tendentiousness, I think you..." Professor McGonagall reminded him again on the judges' bench sitting aside.
Although she knew in her heart, Slytherin's victory might defeat Gryffindor.
"Well, I will try my best." Lee Jordan waved his hand and continued to explain.
Now the situation on the field is beginning to fall down. The Slytherin team skillfully manipulates the broomstick underneath itself, making sharp blows to the Hufflepuff team. The Hufflepuff team can't stand the opponent at all. The offensive like a gust of wind and rain, was scored repeatedly by Gui Feiqiu.
Even Cedric started to feel a little numb. No matter how strong a person is, he won't do anything under the double-team of three people. Moreover, the opponent's level is not low, and he is still using the best equipment today. A sense of powerlessness rose from his heart.
But he did not give up, but worked hard to cheer up, and continue to ride the broomstick towards the golden light symbolizing victory.
"Huh?" Cedric suddenly noticed that the attack and harassment of several people had stopped suddenly. He accelerated suddenly, and the golden lightning was not far in front of him. Once he caught the Golden Snitch, the game It's over.
There was no harassment, which made him feel relaxed. He didn’t have time to think about why. He held the broom tightly with his left hand and kept the forward speed. Cedric’s right hand grabbed forward quickly, the wings of the Golden Snitch and His palms were connected, swirling in his hands, and then slowly stopped in his hands.
But the audience did not cheer for him. Cedric felt a little abnormal. Then, like waking up from a dream, suddenly turned his head and looked at the scoreboard, because he was focusing on the game before and didn’t have time to watch the score. , Now that everything is settled, there is time to care about the score.
The score on the scoreboard is five hundred to one hundred and fifty.
A feeling of misunderstanding arose in his heart, but it seemed to be taken for granted. He was so surrounded just now that he couldn’t even communicate with his teammates. Only now did he see that his team members were ashamed. No fighting spirit.
Cedric finally knew why the Slytherin players would suddenly let him act again.
took a deep breath and Cedric calmed himself down. Although the game was lost, there was nothing to complain about. To be honest, he still enjoyed challenging under such extremely unfavorable conditions. In his own sense, he even felt that his technique had improved a lot.
He recalled the original Slytherin team's play, relying on physical superiority and small moves, that was really a bit contemptuous, but today's game left him speechless.
All the players returned to the ground.
The captains of both sides approached again~IndoMTL.com~ shook hands.
Flint's face was full of joy, and the team behind him was the same. They never thought that their way to win the championship was so easy.
"This is a wonderful game, we are convinced." Cedric said.
"Oh, oh, is it?" Cedric's reaction surprised Flint. To be honest, he had prepared a lot of ridicules and presupposed excuses that Cedric might make, such as Relying on Firebolt to win and so on, and then sneered back. But Cedric's words gave him an awkward feeling of making mistakes.
"Oh." Cedric sighed long, then smiled to his team members and said, "It's going to be a holiday soon. Do you think we should go to work? We also bought seven of them. Broom?"
This half-joking sentence made the Hufflepuff team, who was still lifeless just now, amused again.
All the audience stood up spontaneously at this time, applauding the defeated Hufflepuff, the victorious Slytherin, and Cedric's mature behavior.
