Chapter 224 Quidditch match, forced to play temporarily, the Quaffle is out of control!

The next day, Hogwarts ushered in the Quidditch match.

Speaking of which, this game was quite ups and downs.

Because of the recent attack by evil spirits on Halloween, the professors attach great importance to the security of Hogwarts. They have not only strengthened patrols, but also stopped many banquets that should have been held.

They are like hens guarding their chicks, wishing that students would stay in the common room after class and never come out.

So even the Quidditch game, the professors have said whether it should stop.

However, this news did not reach the students very much. The students reacted very strongly and shouted: "Don't stop."

Because there were so many people calling out and because it was an outdoor daytime sport, it was eventually held.

Of course, as Gryffindor's seeker, Harry's ability to play also went through some twists and turns.

Although Lin Xia was the guarantee, her white fairy was also petrified, so that Filch did not stare at Harry and bite him, but Professor Snape took aim at him.

He had proposed many times that Harry should not be allowed to participate in Quidditch matches because he had not cleared himself of suspicion.

Professor Snape still believes that Harry is most likely the culprit that caused the two cats to become petrified.

In the end, Lin Xia helped solve the problem.

Because Harry was her experimental assistant, and Harry was not the only one running around at that time.

If Harry is going to be suspended, then she will also be punished accordingly.

However, her invention of the Guardian Button has been secretly listed as a key concern by the school, which plans to mobilize the auditorium this weekend for her paper presentation.

It was impossible for Snape to prevent Lin Xia from publishing the paper for this reason.

So the matter ended up being settled, and Harry was able to return to the game!

On the Quidditch pitch, the audience cheered enthusiastically.

Ron is no exception.

But he felt a little lonely today because Neville, who used to be by his side frequently, was gone and replaced by an unknown student.

He could only turn around and chat with Hermione, Draco and Lin Xia.

"Fortunately, Snape didn't suspend Harry. Otherwise, given how obsessed Senior Wood is with Quidditch championship, he might have caused a huge stir," Ron said.

Draco shook his head: "No, Student Wood is an excellent student, and he will not contradict the professor."

Lin Xia: "But it will also add some instability factors. Gryffindor still needs to rely on him to take charge."

Hermione glanced at Professor Snape from time to time. She was a little worried that Snape would cause trouble in this game.

Although at the end of the last school year, they realized through Professor Quirrell that they had completely misunderstood Snape.

Who makes Snape hate Harry so much?

"HI, little wizards, did you have a good holiday?" Hagrid's huge body pressed forward, and the little wizards around him immediately gave up their seats to him.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "It was a pleasure just listening to you tell stories on the weekend."

Hagrid said with excitement: "I still have many stories to tell, especially those about magical creatures. The stories about me and those babies can last three days and three nights!"

As the students cheered enthusiastically.

In the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms, the students had their own thoughts.

Fortunately for Slytherin, their goal is to win, they have the same goal, and they don't care what means they use in the middle.

But on the Gryffindor side, the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Wood just received news that two Gryffindor players suddenly felt unwell and were sent to the infirmary.

In other words, they have to let the two second-year substitutes play in this game!

When Wood announced his decision, other senior students looked despairing.

The Weasley twins said unabashedly:

"I'm afraid I'm going to lose this game."

"Oh, honey, isn't it obvious?"

"The two newcomers have no experience."

"I even doubt whether they can protect themselves well on the court."

Wood glared at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you two, stop talking!"

George and Fred shrugged together, put their hands to their mouths, and made a zipper motion.

Neville was so nervous that he closed his eyes, and his hand holding the broomstick was shaking.

He muttered words that even he didn't understand clearly, as if this could relieve his tension.

Compared to Neville, Mikel looked much calmer.

He said: "Senior Wood, I will work hard."

Wood said "hmm" and looked at Neville, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something.

But seeing how nervous Neville looked, he shut his mouth again.

Forget it, don't put so much pressure on the little wizard.

The other team members dispersed and prepared individually.

Mikel glanced at Neville, and then at the invisible mission panel in front of him.

[Quest: Across the Quidditch pitch (completed)]

Mikel thought to himself: The laxatives from the East are indeed very powerful.

Harry thought for a while, then walked to Neville and encouraged him: "Neville, relax, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Neville looked at him blankly, feeling a little silly with nervousness.

Harry then sat down and taught him his experience.

"It was my first time to play in a competition. I often felt restless and couldn't sleep well at night. I couldn't sleep all night."

Neville whispered: "Me too, although I am a reserve player, but I am also very nervous, I did not expect...

I didn't train well at all. No, I couldn't even complete those training tasks. How could I play? I couldn't do it..."

Harry patted his shoulder and said firmly: "You have to do it even if you can't. You have no choice, and I didn't have a choice at that time.

If you don't play, the team will be missing a player, which will make it more difficult to win. "

...

Ten minutes later, the two teams came on the court.

The Slytherin team took the lead and waved to everyone, welcoming the cheers of the audience.

The Gryffindor team came on the court next.

When the players in front appeared at the beginning, there was also cheering on the court.

Until--

The applause on the court suddenly weakened, and the little wizards looked at the last two people who appeared in Gryffindor in surprise.

"Isn't that the new little wizard?"

"Why did he appear in this game? Is it okay?"

"I remember that the strength of those two little wizards was not very good, right? "

The little wizards in other grades don't know the details of Neville and Mikel.

But the little wizards in the second grade do.

Especially Neville.

This is the famous "forgetful" boy in the grade.

He often forgets a lot of things and needs the memory ball to assist him!

Ron said in shock: "What happened, why did Neville play?"

Hermione couldn't help but cover her eyes. She felt that Gryffindor would lose badly this time.

Lin Xia and Draco looked at each other, and didn't understand what happened.

Later, a well-informed wizard said: "I know that two Gryffindor players ran to the infirmary. They can't play. In order to make up the number of people, only two substitutes can be sent. "

In the Quidditch field.

The Slytherin people couldn't help but sneer.

The captain of Slytherin sneered: "Wood, sending two newcomers to play in the game, are you too confident in Gryffindor? "

Other players booed Gryffindor, and Gryce made a fierce expression towards Neville.

"Start praying, don't run into me on the court, I will never let you leave the court intact!"

Mikel stepped forward and said coldly: "Pre-match threats? Is that all you can do?"

This sentence was not only said to Gryce, but also to other Slytherins.

He alone aroused the hatred of the entire Slytherin.

"Don't think that you are the only ones with trump cards, we have them too.

Also, all the professors are watching from the stands, do you think your little tricks can hide from the professors? "Mickle said this deliberately.

The Slytherin players were suspicious of each other and were in doubt.

Madam Hooch came over, blew a loud whistle, released all the balls, and the Quidditch game officially began!

At the beginning, the gap between the two teams could not be seen.

As time went on, Neville's inexperience was revealed.

He couldn't touch the ball at all, let alone throw it. Gryffindor lost dozens of points under him!

But in contrast, it was Mikel who shone.

The little wizard was amazed at his performance and thought he was a Quidditch veteran!

"Mickle scored again!"

"I just counted, Mikel has taken back 20 points from Slytherin! He is the highest scorer except for the twins!"

"He has an excellent Quidditch talent, and it feels like he is on par with Harry! "

Harry was elusive on the court. He did not participate in any interception or pitching, but focused on finding the Golden Snitch.

His mission was to catch the Golden Snitch.

So many times, the audience could not necessarily find where he was.

In the audience stand, Lin Xia stared at Mikel.

Noticing his silky fake moves, he easily fooled the Slytherin interceptor and continued to score.

She asked: "Do you remember how Mikel performed when he first joined the Gryffindor team? Is he completely different from now?

I found that his skills seem to be better than Captain Wood's."

Ron and Draco are loyal Quidditch fans. They watch every Quidditch World Championship, communicate with others about the style of each player, and read related Quidditch commentary magazines.

They spoke fluently about the technical analysis of the players.

Now that Lin Xia mentioned it, they all spoke.

Ron pondered for a while, "From the current performance, his skills have indeed surpassed Senior Wood. ”

Draco tried to make up for it and said, “But it can be seen that Mikel lacks experience. He missed several times, and Senior Wood helped him to make up for the missed shots.”

Lin Xia smiled and said meaningfully, “Do you think a young wizard who has just started Quidditch can make such rapid progress?”

Ron: “Although I don’t want to admit it, he reminds me of Harry. Quidditch is very talent-intensive. Harry performed better than him in his first game.”

Draco: “I agree with this point of view. Mikel obviously has a strong talent.”

It should be said that excellent skills can not only conquer the audience, but also conquer black fans.

For example, Ron, he has now put aside his grudge against the Gryffindor team for not accepting him, and can even cheer for Mikel in return.

Lin Xia saw that they were making sense and stopped talking.

Compared with Mikel’s performance, Neville truly interpreted “what a novice is.”

Mikel’s skills are excellent, and the small movements of the Slytherin players cannot affect him, and he can avoid them in advance.

But Neville couldn't do that.

He was knocked down by Slytherin players one after another just by flying in the sky.

Fortunately, the safety performance of Nimbus 2001 was good, and Neville didn't fall down.

But this is not a problem, something will happen sooner or later.

Wood gestured to the Weasley twins, asking them to protect Neville and not be attacked by Slytherin people all the time.

George and Fred just turned the flying broom around when they heard Neville scream.

His body was directly knocked away by the flying broom, and his hands couldn't catch the broom, and he was about to fall to the ground!

The little wizard exclaimed, and some of them didn't dare to open their eyes to see.

At the critical moment, a hand grabbed Neville, it was Harry!

Harry put Neville on his flying broom to stop him from falling at high speed.

He turned his head and said, "Neville, summon your flying broom."

However, Neville's eyes rolled up and he had fainted.

There was no way, he could only stop on the ground and call Madam Hooch to take him to the infirmary quickly.

Harry returned to the game.

Gryffindor's disadvantage became more obvious with one man missing.

Although Neville was useless before, he could at least intercept the ball a little.

Now no one does this, and some places are wide open.

Slytherin scored faster.

Leading by ten points!

Leading by twenty points!

Leading by fifty points!

In just half an hour, Slytherin surpassed Gryffindor by fifty points!

If this continues, defeat is a matter of time.

Harry didn't notice these, he just focused on finding the golden snitch.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden flashed before his eyes, and Harry's eyes lit up.

He quickly chased after him.

On the other side, Grace had been staring at Harry. After he noticed Harry's actions, he also started to catch up.

After a while, he also saw the golden snitch.

The two started a fierce, unyielding chase.

The commentator finally got interested and explained happily.

"After waiting for an hour, the Golden Snitch finally appeared. Can Harry catch the Golden Snitch and let Gryffindor secure the victory?"

"Gris, the new Slytherin Seeker, is chasing Harry. He is also a second-year student and has also shown extraordinary Quidditch talent."

"We have discovered three second-year Quidditch talents, namely Harry, Mikel and Gris!"

Gris is not as good as Harry after all.

No, it should be said that his flying level makes it difficult for him to catch the Golden Snitch.

Harry caught up with the Golden Snitch and stretched out his hand to catch it-

Just then, an annoying "buzzing" sound came and instantly hit Harry's shoulder.

The huge force caused Harry and his broom to flip in the air.

Hermione and Ron stood up and looked at Harry worriedly.

Lin Xia frowned, "The Quaffle is out of control?"
