Chapter 373 Battle against Ravenclaw
"Jean, don't mess around, I'm the chairman of the Hogwarts Boys' Union—why are you crowding around here?!"
"Please let me pass, don't gather together, you should watch the game now!"
Just as McGuffin was surrounded by the little wizards around him like they were watching a juggler.
A familiar, triumphant voice came from the crowd and rescued him.
McGuffin had never imagined that he would be so happy to meet Percy.
He proudly held out the badge of the male student council president on his chest, pulled a beautiful long-haired witch through the crowd, and scattered the little wizards to other places.
"Thanks, Percy, that guy Jordan is giving me trouble!"
McGuffin said thanks.
"Right? You haven't met officially yet, have you? Is this Penello?"
Percy happily introduces Penello to McGuffin and Hermione.
"Hermione!"
"I'm a MacGuffin!"
"I know, the famous Miss Genius, and the famous crazy hat!" Penello joked.
Percy and his girlfriend obviously supported Ravenclaw. Not only was the scarf colored in dark blue representing the Ravenclaw team, but even the wizard hat was made of some kind of light blue and dark blue with a spiral pattern.
And Percy is clearly on his brother's side, and the scarlet banner he holds in his hand certainly shows that.
But for the most ambitious son of the Weasleys around, fame and power were always important to him,
Percy is like a rooster seeking to mate, showing off his 'bright red' crest at all times.
For now, the McGuffin and his new broom are Percy's 'crown'.
With a showy tone, Percy told Penello about how McGuffin realized his own shortcomings under his guidance when he made the prototype of the broom in the first grade, and corrected many fatal mistakes of the new broom.
"You don't know! Penelope, when McGuffin made this broom, it was considered the most dangerous alchemy item. The power of the explosion is almost comparable to some small destructive curses, just like the iron balls of Muggles?"
God damn iron ball!
It took a little effort for McGuffin and Hermione to understand that the iron ball and egg-like thing in Percy's words referred to the grenade installed in the Muggle army.
--Wow!
--Hey!
At this moment, the little wizards in front of them suddenly exclaimed, followed by sighs.
It turned out that Harry missed the opportunity to catch the Golden Snitch because of a Bludger attack in the sky above the court.
Of course, it is also due to the cooperation of Qiu Zhang and his teammates.
"Percy, let me just say that Cho Zhang's technique is very good! Last time the Slytherin team was so shameless that it caused our Ravenclaw Quidditch team to lose the game."
"Under the circumstances that this new type of broom has not been perfected, and personal flying skills cannot be shown off, brains and strategies affect the winning rate of Quidditch matches. In this regard, we Ravenclaws have an absolute advantage!"
Penelope looked at Percy proudly and said.
"I've won, Percy! Ten Galleons, remember!"
After speaking, she held the small flag in her hand and walked to the small group of wizards gathered on the Ravenclaw side, cheering for the Ravenclaw team loudly.
Percy's face was ugly, and he obviously felt that his girlfriend had something to say.
Hermione asked strangely, "What ten Galleons?"
"I made a bet with Penelope," Percy said, staring at McGuffin. "Who will win the game? What about ten Galleons? She beat Cho Chang and Ravenclaw..."
"McGuffin! You should be able to tell who won and who lost? Aren't you the manager of the Gryffindor team and the inventor of the magic broom? Ten Galleons! I can't get it out."
Percy asked anxiously.
"From the current situation, Penello is right."
Percy's face darkened.
"However, when Hermione and I watched Wood test a new type of broom this morning, we learned that they were trying a new type of tactical move. If Wood didn't lie and they could master it correctly... there is a high probability that we will win!"
"Oh yeah? Thank you so much."
"Hey! Penelope, I'm here, thanks, McGuffin!" When Percy left in a hurry, McGuffin grabbed him.
"I said—did you really bet ten Galleons with your girlfriend?"
"Really!" Percy said very beamingly this time, as if ten Galleons were already waving at him.
Percy's steel straight masculinity is too strong, even Hermione, who only has a study head, can see the problem.
"You are amazing, Percy! You actually made such a bet with your girlfriend, do you want to break up early?"
Percy, who was able to be a student representative, was obviously not stupid, it was just that the brilliance of ten Galleons was too dazzling to cover his eyes.
As soon as Hermione finished speaking, he immediately realized the two-lose situation he was facing now.
So the guy grimaced slowly, and reluctantly moved to Penello's side again.
I don't know what he will do.
At this time, the audience broke out into a violent noise, which almost shattered McGuffin's eardrums.
He hastily pressed the binoculars to his eyes and looked over the field.
It turned out to be Ravenklaw who earned the match point.
"What happened just now? The Quaffle is obviously in our hands?" McGuffin asked Hermione anxiously.
"As expected of Ravenclaw. Cho Chang... no... it was their entire team who pretended to see the Snitch, completely messed up the Gryffindor formation, and then let the batsmen use the performance of the new broom to rush into the Gryffindor pitch and score directly."
"Good strategy," said Hermione loudly.
The little Ravenclaw wizards on the other side of them gathered together, bursting out with amazing lung capacity, cheering for Ravenclaw.
Penello, who looks quiet, is very wild and loud in support of his team, which is really unexpected.
Percy was out in the blue tide with his red scarf on, looking like a Ravenclaw spy or... a traitor to Gryffindor no matter what he did.
This guy held his face bitterly, standing there restlessly.
However, Ravenclaw's counterattack obviously did not disrupt Gryffindor's offensive rhythm.
Both Quidditch teams started a scoring frenzy.
The speed of all the players was unbelievably fast—the changing conditions on the field, the Chasers throwing the Quaffle to the rest of the team so fast that Jordan's commentary couldn't keep up.
The scores of the two sides climbed up as if they were on broomsticks.
Compared with the last two games, this time it was more intense and exciting.
(It seems that [Global Light Wheel Company]'s strategy of slightly sacrificing the speed of the broom and increasing the maneuverability has succeeded.)
The audience on the court was even more stimulated to cheer and applaud continuously, which made the whole court tremble.
"Where is Harry?"
Hermione asked anxiously.
Everyone's speed is too fast, and this is not a high stand, they can only see the red and blue (players) shuttle back and forth at high altitude.
Occasionally a player comes down, only to swoop down because the Chaser is chasing the falling Quaffle.
After picking up the Quaffle, they shot straight into the sky again, participating in an increasingly fierce 'fight' above.
In addition, due to the high speed of the broom, the two teams both increased the flying height, expanded the field space, and gained reaction time to avoid collisions. Of course, they can also make full use of the speed advantage of the new broom.
This also made it even more difficult for the little wizards below to see the game clearly with the naked eye.
McGuffin was also looking for Harry. He followed each red figure with his binoculars, and it took him a long time to spot Harry flying in circles at the highest point above the pitch.
He stayed there, as if carefully scanning the downfield, looking for the Snitch.
"Angelina from Gryffindor scored!"
"50:30! Gryffindor is temporarily ahead!"
Jordan's announcement made the little Gryffindor wizards on the court warm up again.
For a moment, the surrounding area seemed to be surrounded by a sea of red.
After that, the competition became more intense, anxious, and more brutal.
Penello is right, the level of players on both sides is about the same, but they are good at different directions.
The Chasers on the Ravenclaw team are top-notch and arguably the most connected of the four Hogwarts teams.
They cooperate seamlessly, seamlessly, every attack runs like water, and there is a whole set of tactical moves to deal with the interference of defensive Gryffindor players, or (bludger) attacks.
They all seem to cast some kind of telepathic magic on themselves.
As for Gryffindor, there is no doubt that everyone's skills in manipulating the flying broom are better, and in this new type of broom adaptation, it is also more prominent.
For example, in a burst of exclamation from the audience, Wood even hung himself directly on the broom, turned around to guard the goal, and caught the Quaffle.
This caused bursts of applause from everyone.
'It's no wonder that after this new type of broom was purchased by the various national teams participating in the World Cup, Oliver Wood was immediately rushed to recruit by several teams-is this a circus?I don't know what the new tactical skills he said are? '
'Is it more exaggerated than that? '
McGuffin looked with a telescope and was terrified, very worried that this guy was playing off.
However, because the new broom is still a new type of experimental product, it always has the defect of insufficient maneuverability and flexibility when the speed is too fast.
This is a great advantage for a team like Ravencalaw that emphasizes coordination, strategy, and few mistakes.
However, Gryffindor players always pursue excessive speed habitually, resulting in some loopholes in the defense and being breached.
Gryffindor's initial lead by relying on technology was gradually equalized or even overtaken.
"50:70! Ravenclaw has the advantage!" Jordan announced loudly.
Wood shouted angrily to stop.
At the whistle of Mrs. Hooch, the two teams slowly fell to the ground again.
There was an overwhelming roar of cheers and applause from the Ravenclaw side, as if they had won.
Penello even hugged Percy and kissed him, then shook the blue flag in his hand, jumped and shouted, venting his emotions.
This left Percy completely stunned, not knowing whether he should be happy or depressed.
"Where's the Golden Snitch?"
"I haven't seen a trace of it since the beginning of the game?"
Amidst Hermione's complaints, Mrs. Hooch's whistle finally sounded again.
Players from both sides soared into the sky.
The next game began to be more brutal.
The hitters of the two players frantically controlled the Bludger, and even directly pressed the Bludger to attack the opponent's player.
Even Mrs. Hooch was dumbfounded by this situation. She didn't know whether relying on the special structure of the new broom (the metal body is much stronger than the original wooden handle) to directly stop the Bludger, then directly control it, and then directly hit the opponent's specific player like a baseball is considered a violation.
After all, this kind of thing has never happened before, and it stands to reason that the Bludger attacking the player is allowed by the rules of the Quidditch game.
That's what George and Fred did.
But then everyone's attention was diverted from them.
"The Golden Snitch!"
People exclaimed.
MacGuffin and Hermione, all wizards watched with bated breath as the two Seekers - Harry and Cho Chang,
The two followed each other closely, and they fell quickly, turning around and chasing the trace of the golden snitch.
At this moment, almost all the players of the two teams are speeding up,
In an instant, the ferocity and fierceness on the court were unimaginable.
All without mercy.
They all know this is the most critical moment.
Everyone circled in the direction of the two Chasers, chasing and blocking each other along the way, hitting each other hard and tripping them up.
Bludgers, Quaffles, and no one cared.
The Ravenclaw batsman crossed directly in front of Harry from the opposite side, almost bringing the two of them directly into each other.
"Did they die? At such a fast speed...even a wizard would die on the spot."
MacGuffin yelled that for the first time he regretted his invention of the broom.
But the little wizards around, even Hermione didn't think so, they stared at the sky above the court with wide eyes, and they all exclaimed in amazement with the wonderful 'fight' above the court, and every breath was tense.
The Golden Snitch flexibly turns over the course, circles left and right, up and down, and jumps back and forth between players like a golden lightning.
The flaws of the new broom were laid bare in this moment, when neither Seeker could maneuver the short distance to catch that little golden ball and win the game.
Finally, when all the players are practically crammed into a small space, slow down to avoid collisions.
The Golden Snitch immediately swooped away from the crowd, only Harry and Qiu Zhang reacted, and immediately swooped down.
Go fast!
"Crazy, two people are crazy!" McGuffin murmured,
At this time, there was silence on the field.
The two Seekers plummeted as if they had jumped out of a plane without a parachute.
In the sight of McGuffin's telescope, it can be seen that the expressions on the faces of the two people are tense, and they dive and fall with their teeth gritted. Their eyes are completely focused on the Golden Snitch, completely ignoring the ground that is getting closer.
The swift wind blew the robes of the two of them, almost tearing them in half.
"Harry!" Hermione subconsciously cried out in fear and worry.
