The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 202: Quidditch Coach I Want to Play (5)

At the beginning of March, spring returned to the earth, and the whole castle seemed to have come to life. In the open space, green little ones sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain.Within a few days, the whole land was decorated.

The lawns, the woods, and the flower beds... they all looked alive.

The much-anticipated Quidditch competition finally returned to normal in March, with the compressed schedule leading to games every Saturday and Sunday.

Yesterday it was Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, and this year it's Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw.

Nimbus 2001 is indeed the fastest broom. Its speed is far beyond what the old Comet series can match. The two days of competition were quite exciting, and the little wizards in the stands burst out shouting one after another, and this was very exciting. Part of the reason for the big competition is that after they replaced the new brooms, they were able to perform more thrilling actions at a faster speed.

And this is even more vividly reflected in the confrontation between the seekers.

It was a game between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Two chasers of equal strength staged a confrontation for the little wizards that could be recorded in school history.

Wonski Feint: The Seeker pretends to see the Snitch very close to the ground and quickly dashes toward the ground.Typically, the other Seeker will copy his actions.When it immediately hits the ground, it suddenly stops diving and lets the opponent's seeker hit the ground.

Prenton Copying Technique: Get up and casually change direction to copy the thief and hide it.

Parkin's pincer tactic: two chasers approach one of the opponent's chasers from both wings, while the other chaser flies towards him.

Even the Chaser's tactics were used on the Seeker. The two Chasers approached the opponent's Chaser. While giving up defense, they used all means to ensure that they caught the Golden Snitch.

It can be said that the two teams have put all their training in recent months to good use.

The game is naturally quite exciting.

As for the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin game - let's just say it was lackluster.Young Master Draco hadn't trained much all winter, and Professor McGonagall had postponed the Quidditch match, so he didn't pay much attention to the Quidditch match.

This resulted in a huge gap in strength between him and Harry.And it’s not just flying skills, but also teamwork.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Draco disrupted his team's arrangement because of flying around. After a period of confusion, he was finally sent off the field by Fred's Bludger.

Next, although Slytherin made an emergency substitution, the substitute was obviously not as good as Draco. Only later did they find out that the substitute was actually the goalkeeper, and Slytherin had no intention of finding a substitute for the ball player.

The result of such a game can be imagined. Harry barely exerted any effort and walked casually through the crowd, looking for the Golden Snitch, that idiot substitute who didn't even know the most basic seeker skills.

If you can't find the Snitch, keep an eye on the Seeker on the other side to prevent him from finding it.He didn't understand such a simple truth and deserved to lose.

Game No. 307 minutes later, Harry finally spotted the Golden Snitch near the Ravenclaw stands, and immediately swooped over and grabbed it.

The Slytherin Seeker barely reacted before the game was over.

The little lions were delighted and celebrated enthusiastically.

Then I was shocked by the game the next day.

The game between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff can simply be described as elegant.

This made Wood's sense of crisis immediately explode. That night, he arranged a series of training sessions.

In the second week of the game, Gryffindor faced the loser Hufflepuff.Slytherin versus Ravenclaw, the winner.

It was very difficult for the little lions to win this anxious game. The game lasted for more than four hours, from noon to night. The score was as high as 510:610. When Harry caught the Golden Snitch, Gryffindor's score was A full hundred points behind Hufflepuff.

Just when the little lion felt desperate.

Harry stood up and turned the tide and helped the building to collapse.At the critical moment when Hufflepuff gradually opened up the score, he stood up and caught the golden snitch.

One body turned the tide of the battle.

At this point, Harry has become the savior of the college (one-week limited edition). He won the game for Gryffindor at the critical moment.

Let’s look at another scene.The game between Ravenclaw and Slytherin was quite easy. The game ended in less than half an hour, and the score was a humiliating 190:0.

Everyone could see Snape's sullen face walking across the pitch.If nothing else, these guys will definitely be surprised when they return to the academy.

The last week of March.

A crucial match begins, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw.

Since the Quidditch game is not based on winning games, but on the cumulative total points that will determine the final victory, Ravenclaw's total points are currently higher than Gryffindor's, temporarily ranking first. (Slytherin lost too many points.)

If Lion wants to become No. 1, he not only has to win this game but also win by a big score, which is quite difficult for Wood.

At noon, after lunch, all the teachers and students of the school gathered on the Quidditch pitch. Everyone was very excited. After all, this was a confrontation between strong teams.It may be a key game that affects this year's Quidditch Cup.

Members of the other two teams also came to the court early to observe.

Everyone knew this was a close battle.No one will take it lightly.

As Mrs. Hawes blew her whistle.

The game officially begins.

Angelina took advantage of the speed advantage brought by her female identity to take the lead in grabbing the Quaffle, and then flew quickly towards Ravenclaw's goal.

It can be said that this game entered a fever pitch from the beginning.

Wood carried forward the spirit of Gryffindor and played short, flat and fast.Attack may have become the only way he could think of to win.

On the Ravenclaw side, they were obviously frightened by the crazy Gryffindor team. For a while, there were loopholes in the defense, especially during the first wave of sprint.

Relying on this style of play, Gryffindor quickly scored thirty points.

This excited the little wizard in the stands.

They roared crazily and celebrated as if they had won.

Ravenclaw, who was caught off guard, finally reacted after conceding three goals in a row. Their captain Roger Davis immediately organized a defensive counterattack.

Speaking of which, Wood actually complained to other members of the team that Ravenclaw had always been the bottom team in Quidditch competitions.They were the team with the lowest points last year. How come they suddenly became so strong this year?

Speaking of which, they didn't make any personnel changes either!

This troubled question was destined for Wood to not have an answer.Because he never dreamed that the person affecting the team's strength would be a first-year little witch.

In the Gryffindor stands, Anthony saw the figure in the Ravenclaw stands from afar.He wouldn't believe it if she wasn't the one behind the plan to kill Anthony.

snort!

Intelligence is truly a panacea!

He even knows how to train for Quidditch, he's just a monster!

Thinking of this, Anthony sighed inexplicably.

And with his sigh, the situation on the field began to reverse.

Gryffindor, who originally had the advantage, suddenly seemed to have lost its footing. The Ravenclaw players who were hit from left to right broke through the defense line. After conceding the first goal, the entire team began to irreversibly decline.

Seeing this, Anthony shook his head. He had already expected that Gryffindor would lose this time.

On the court, Wood also felt the horror of the Ravenclaw team's sudden change of formation. "Hold on!" he yelled.

This situation was completely unexpected by him.

At this moment, he could only continue to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. He was completely helpless about being led by his opponent.

Wood could only pray anxiously in his heart, hoping that the team could regain its rhythm as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, in this state, not only offense is a luxury, but they can hardly even care about defense.

Half an hour later, the score was stretched to 100:40.

Apart from the initial rush, Gryffindor only scored one goal in the rest of the game.

And it is still losing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What should I do?" In the stands, Ron and Hermione were anxiously looking at the players flying in the sky.

Hagrid was also standing beside them, holding a huge telescope in his hand, three or four times the size of a normal telescope.Don't know where he got it from.

"We can only hope for Harry."

Anthony shook his head and began to look for Harry.

"Hey!" Ron shouted.

He pointed ahead: "Over there!"

Anthony looked up in the direction Ron pointed, and sure enough, he found Harry's figure in the sky near the professors' stands.Faintly, he could still see the serious expression on Harry's face.

It seems that Harry also understands that he is the only one who can save the team now.

If he cannot catch the Golden Snitch in a short time and continues to delay, I am afraid that even the 150 points from the Golden Snitch will not allow Gryffindor to win!

"call!"

The whooshing wind from high in the sky blew past the tips of Harry's ears.

Of course he can think of anything Anthony can think of.

Now the team has reached an extremely urgent time.Harry couldn't stop anymore and began to control the broom to fly around the field, actively looking for the Golden Snitch.

----

Time passed slowly like this, and another 22 minutes passed.

The score on the field has reached 60:200.

Ravenclaw only needs to score two goals to win with a crushing score, because including the Golden Snitch with 150 points, it cannot exceed 210.

At this time, everyone held their breath, and everyone's eyes were on Harry Potter. Since the founding of Hogwarts, he had caught the Golden Snitch and lost the game no more than ten times.

If Ravenclaw really wins today, it will be a shame to Gryffindor House.

That's why everyone's attention was focused on Harry. This boy who kept surprising Gryffindor had caught the Golden Snitch countless times.

Gryffindor has never lost a game with him on the court. The only game they lost last year was because Harry was hospitalized and the team urgently found a substitute to replace him, so they lost.

"No! Ravenclaw's chaser rushed into Gryffindor's penalty area again. Is he going to throw the ball?" Jordan shouted in despair in the Gryffindor stands. Even Professor McGonagall beside him She no longer scolded him. There was no passion in the commentary. She had long been deeply attracted by the game.

His eyes were fixed on the fatal Quaffle.

"The Quaffle is out of hand. The target is the upper right ball frame, ah! Wait! What do I see!" Jordan stood up, eyes wide open, seeing that incredible scene in disbelief.

The loose Quaffle was seen spinning crazily, and the original target on the upper right actually deflected after being rotated centrifugally.

"Oh! Oh my gosh, it's a feint! It's a feint. Roger Davis caught the Quaffle and threw a straight ball, targeting the lower left basket!"

"The ball went in! Ravenclaw won ten points again!" Jordan yelled, but there was no excitement in his voice.Instead, I feel a little anxious and lonely.

"Ravenclaw has already scored 210 points. I have to admit that they played very well, because if they score a goal, even if Gryffindor catches the Golden Snitch, they will lose the game!"

The situation has gone from bad to worse.

Harry was becoming more and more impatient.

At this moment, a golden light flew past his eyes.

Harry didn't hesitate at all and quickly followed him in the right direction.

"Oh! It's Harry Potter! Harry Potter found the Golden Snitch." Jordan suddenly became excited and shouted while dancing.

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell from a high altitude and hit Harry on the head.

Next, huge raindrops fell almost overwhelmingly quickly. Harry could feel the cold raindrops hitting his face, and the water droplets even splashed into his eyes.Fortunately, he was wearing the goggles given by Anthony. These goggles were protected by a spell of invulnerability to water and fire, and the splashed water droplets would soon disappear.

Harry felt a sense of relief that he was wearing goggles today.

And as the golden light got closer and closer, the feeling of joy became stronger and stronger.They were about to win, albeit a thrilling one.

At this moment, a heavy black Bludger suddenly flew towards Harry. He barely dodged it by a hair and felt the ball ruffle his hair as it flew by.

"Harry!" George, who was always paying attention to Harry, yelled.Because he was shocked to see that the Bludger turned back again.

Bludgers would only chase the player on the broomstick closest to them, but the one in front of him actually changed direction midway and flew straight towards Harry.

This is not normal.

Hearing the sound, Harry also noticed the abnormal Quaffle.He quickly dropped down to avoid it, but like a boomerang, the Bludger turned around again and hit his head.

"Damn it!" Harry cursed, quickly accelerated, and flew to the other end of the field.

He could hear the Bludgers whizzing after him.

How is this going?

The little wizards outside the field also noticed the out-of-control Quaffle, and immediately, screams of surprise came from the crowd.

"Someone did something to - this - Bludger -" Fred also flew over quickly, grunting, and knocked away the Bludger that launched a new round of attack on Harry. .

"We need a timeout!" George passed under them.

"No!" Harry shook his head. The Golden Snitch was in the distance. If we give up this opportunity, we will lose.

and--

"It's an opportunity."

"what?"

"I said -" Harry lowered his head suddenly and dodged a Quaffle flying towards his nose.

"It's just an opportunity to use this crazy Quaffle to reorganize the attack. As long as we score one more goal! We can win!" Harry yelled crazily.

"Harry!" Fred looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Let me deal with that out-of-control ball! Tell everyone I'm going to charge once! Trust me! I will catch the Golden Snitch!" After that, Harry ignored everyone and accelerated his dive.

The rain is getting heavier now.

He could hear the swishing sound behind his head and knew the Bludger was coming after him again.

Suddenly, he pulled up the broom, raised it suddenly, and the Quaffle behind him hit the ground.Then Harry turned, sometimes spun, sometimes turned sharply downward, sometimes circled upward, and sometimes went around east and west, taking a zigzag route.

He was slightly dizzy, but still kept his eyes wide open.

"Angelina!" George yelled behind him.

"Don't scream! You two bastards! I heard you! If Harry is injured, I will have to break both of your legs." Angelina also had a hot temper and responded roughly when she opened her mouth.

"Haha! Let's wait until we win!"

For a moment, the Gryffindor crowd was excited.They were all inspired by Harry. The team, which had been sinking for almost an hour, finally gathered together again and prepared to launch the final charge!

-

Rain pattered against Harry's glasses and streamed into his nostrils as he hung headfirst to avoid another ferocious attack from the Bludgers.

An out-of-control Bludger is bulky and cannot change direction as quickly as he can.He began to fly around the edge of the field like a roller coaster. He squinted his eyes and stared through the silver rain curtain at the Golden Snitch flying into the Ravenclaw team not far away.

Then he started to accelerate crazily, and his whole body was lying on the broom.

As fast as an arrow.

Howling into Ravenclaw's defense.

"Come on!" Fred and George roared, and then they swooped over. Behind them, Angelina and Aaliya also followed suit, and the enthusiasm around them was directly detonated.

The entire Gryffindor stand was filled with people, and everyone was roaring wildly, cheering them on for the last charge!

"Block -" Before Roger Davis could finish his words, the out-of-control Quaffle flew past his face. He only felt his scalp numb and his head went blank for a short time.

And just as Harry thought, this out-of-control Quaffle successfully tore apart the Ravenclaw team's defense.

Moreover, he also has the advantage that no one competes with him for the Golden Snitch!

The Ravenclaw Seeker didn't dare to get close at all. The out-of-control Quaffle that was trying to kill Harry became his protective shield at this moment.Making it impossible for his opponent to pursue him!

in!

This was the most difficult moment. Harry sprinted like crazy. He stretched out his hand and struggled forward.

Just then, there was a 'bang'.

The Bludger finally hit him, slamming into his right arm.

Harry felt his arm snap.A burning pain made him feel dizzy.In the hazy rain, Harry endured the pain.After looking at the golden snitch in front of him and the high ground that was already close to the ground.

The next moment, he suddenly felt nervous, stretched out his left hand, stared at his legs, and jumped out.

"Bang!~~~"

There was a splash, and Harry fell into the mud and rolled off his broom.After rolling several times in a row, it stopped.

His arms were hanging there at a very strange angle.Amidst the bursts of severe pain, he heard many whistles and shouts, as if coming from far away.

At the last moment of his coma, Jordan's excited voice came to his ears: "Angelina broke into Ravenclaw's defense and threw the ball!"

"The ball has been scored! Ten points for Gryffindor!"
