Chapter 122 Quidditch in the Rain
"Gryffindor may be miserable in this game."
Cedric spoke solemnly at the guardrail...and then took a mouthful of wind and rain.
"What?"
Adam didn't hear clearly.
"...I said! Can't you just be nice! Wrap me under your umbrella?!"
Cedric put his hand to his mouth and shouted in Adam's direction.
It's obviously just a step away. The years are quiet over there, but the cold icy rain here is hitting my face randomly. Is this appropriate?
Adam raised his head and glanced at the invisible umbrella stretched out from his wand. It would look ugly if it expanded further...
After thinking about it, Adam waved his magic wand in a pretentious manner, and a banana tree rose from the ground. Its leaves, which were specially enlarged, were layered above them to act as umbrellas.
Then Adam raised his hand and broke off a plantain, peeled it off and stuffed it into Cedric's mouth:
"It's not raining now, go on."
"Uh huh——"
Cedric bit down the part of the banana in his mouth. The spreading sweetness made his eyes light up. He chewed the banana a few times and swallowed it. Then he repeated what he just said:
"The Gryffindor side of this game is not optimistic... By the way, what kind of curse do you have? You can actually grow bananas out of thin air. That's amazing!"
"It's just like a summoning spell for orchids to bloom."
Adam said casually:
"You just said that Gryffindor is not optimistic...why?"
"Don't you remember that at the Halloween dinner before, Slytherin was deducted a full three hundred points?"
Cedric shrugged.
"This time they will definitely miss the Academy Cup, and they will be even more desperate for the Quidditch Cup... They will definitely use whatever means necessary,"
After saying that, Cedric stuffed the remaining half of the banana into his mouth at once.
Adam watched Cedric eating half a banana effortlessly, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment - although the banana he grew was not as big as a banana, it was almost as long as two-thirds of a forearm.
Okay, okay, Gryffindor and Slytherin have both had strong men who can swallow a copper nut in one piece. It seems that I, the great Hufflepuff, can do the same!
While thinking this, Adam raised his hand and broke off another banana. He looked at the banana and then at Cedric who swallowed the banana in his mouth:
"that……"
"Um?"
"Why don't you try a challenge and take a bite of a banana?"
"...I'll try!"
Just when Adam and Cedric were studying the challenge of challenging the limits of the human body, with Mrs. Hooch's whistle, both parties took off together!
"Look Adam!"
Being pushed on the back by Cologne, Adam was distracted and glanced at the field - what he saw was a misty rain curtain, and only a little red and green shadows could be seen.
What's the point of this? Might as well watch Cedric's performance...
hiss--
Seeing Cedric swallowing the whole banana in one gulp, closing his mouth with difficulty, and then giving himself a thumbs up, Adam couldn't help but take a breath of air and applaud him at the same time:
"That's amazing! By the way, I heard that there is a legend in the Muggle world that if a light bulb is swallowed, it cannot be taken out. Do you want to try this again?"
As he spoke, Adam took out a light bulb from nowhere.
Cedric: "???"
…
"Uh-huh——"
"It's okay, take a deep breath, don't rush, don't bite the glass to pieces, it's normal that you can't open your mouth."
After passing Basho's test, Cedric looked at the light bulb and stuffed it into his mouth with disdain, and as expected he couldn't take it out.
Adam comforted him and moved his fingers again. The light bulb in Cedric's mouth shrank silently and was easily taken out by Adam.
"Hiss... I won't try this little dirty trick in life next time."
Cedric rubbed his sore cheeks.
"Uh ah ah ah~~~"
Suddenly a wailing sound came from the field, and Adam couldn't help but turn around:
"What's that noise?"
"Um...it seems Malfoy fell off the broom?"
There was a bit of uncertainty in Cologne's voice, and he couldn't see clearly under such heavy rain.
"That's him."
Eugene saw that flash of platinum color.
"Generally speaking, seekers need to be small in size so that they can fly faster and more nimbly, making it easier to catch the Golden Snitch."
Cedric explained,
"However, in weather like this, Malfoy and Potter's size is at a disadvantage - their size cannot withstand the violent wind and rain at high altitudes, and they will fall from high altitudes if they are not careful."
Adam couldn't help but glance at him, and his eyes stayed for a moment on his bulging muscles that held up his robe:
"So at this time, our Hufflepuff Seekers have an advantage?"
"That's right!"
Cedric nodded:
"Size and other things can only affect temporary advantages and disadvantages after all. What really determines victory or defeat is the skills of the Quidditch players!"
Both Eugene and Colon nodded in approval.
Adam also nodded and glanced at
"I hope everyone is okay."
It's a pity that people are really fine.
Maybe it was because of the heavy rain, the muddy ground had a buffering effect, or maybe it was a professor who took action. In short, Draco only broke his nose, arm, and three ribs, and he could just lie down in the hospital wing for a while.
The Slytherin team had to replace it with a new Seeker, a rather burly boy. Apparently the Slytherin team discovered the reason for Draco's fall.
But this also means that if Harry can still stay on his broom without being knocked down by the wind and rain, then Harry will have a significant speed advantage over Slytherin's Seekers!
After exchanging some ideas during the player change, Slytherin's Beaters silently stared at Harry.
In the next few minutes, Madam Hooch's whistle continued to sound on the field, and from the short whistles, it can be heard that her anger value is constantly rising.
"What's the situation?"
"Did the Gryffindor team score?"
"Where is the Golden Snitch?"
...
Similar questions came one after another, and everyone was struggling to look in the rain, but the rain was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker, and they couldn't even see the scoreboard clearly.
The temperature was also starting to drop... to a level that made Eugene couldn't help but get goose bumps.
"It's the Dementors..."
Eugene's face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but move towards Adam.
The shield could already resist the influence of the Dementors, but it couldn't stop Eugene from recalling the situation that day and falling into negative emotions.
Because this emotion comes from the heart, not from the outside world, just like a shield cannot protect people from the loneliness caused by being locked in a small dark room.
Adam looked at Uther again. The boy looked into the distance, and his face did not show what was going on. But his hand holding the railing was already bulging with veins.
It's so funny. I've read your childhood diary. Why are you pretending now?
Adam pulled them to his side and stuffed a piece of hazelnut chocolate in each of their hands:
"Calm down as soon as possible... I'll give you two more carts of chocolate products later."
Eugene took a bite of the chocolate. The sweetness and heat calmed his mood and warmed his heart:
"Two carts are too much. We can't finish them."
"Who said it was for you to eat?"
Adam looked at him in surprise:
"The Dementors invaded, and the classmates must be scared. You should adjust your state first. The chocolate will definitely sell out later!"
