Chapter 186 The final victory in the game
"Are you kidding, Potter?"
A Hufflepuff Quidditch player behind Cedric said with a questioning look on his face, "You Gryffindors have basically not won any games this season. How can you do it without letting Slai?" Where’s Trin’s score?”
"That's right! I just hope you don't lose too much to Slytherin." Another little Hufflepuff wizard said in a mocking tone, "As long as you can lose within two hundred points, we will You can thank Merlin loudly!"
Harry frowned and looked at the little wizard.
Harry recognized that he was also a second-year student. His name was Ernie MacMillan. He seemed to be a pure-blood aristocrat. His performance had always been quite high-profile when the two colleges attended classes together.
"Don't be like this, Ernie." Cedric interrupted MacMillan's taunting, and turned to look at Harry, "Harry, thank you for your kindness, but I believe we can defeat Sri Lanka with our own strength. Come to Trin.”
He declined Harry's surprise.
"But Slytherin's broomsticks are all Nimbus 2001." Harry said.
The Hufflepuff players were silent.
In fact, they also know that there is a certain gap between the strength of the Hufflepuff team and Slytherin. On weekdays, they usually lose more than they win against Slytherin.
The entire group, mostly upright and humble badgers, couldn't let go under the Slytherin team's "foul flow" style of play, and they often used the so-called "Transylvanian feints" Such methods are used to attack.
The "Transylvanian Feint" is a Quidditch technique in which you pretend to hit your opponent on the nose to confuse the opponent.
But the fake action of Slytherin players hitting their opponent's nose with the Bludger bat was always so real that it couldn't be more real. When the bat really hit the opponent's face, they Often they will argue that they did not hold back and made a mistake...
Therefore, basically after every game, the poor little badgers were bruised and swollen.
So if possible, they are not willing to face the Slytherin players who will definitely chase points.
If there is already a point difference of more than 200 points between them before the game, then the Hufflepuff players only need to defend well, and there is no need to worry about the Slytherin players playing dirty tricks...
"Dudu——"
At this moment, the game preparation whistle blew.
Harry nodded to Cedric, then mounted his broom and flew directly from the stands to the Quidditch pitch in mid-air.
The Gryffindor players didn't have much reaction to his late arrival or what he had just done. They just glanced at the seeker casually, as if he was just a player to fill in the gaps and let the game go. Unrelated personnel who can open the show.
Only Wood added a few words after seeing him,
"Harry, I don't expect you to catch the Golden Snitch. And even if you might catch the Golden Snitch, we don't have the energy to fight with Slytherin to get one hundred and fifty points." Goal."
If it were normal weekend games, with Wood's unwillingness to admit defeat, he would fight for the possibility of victory no matter how slim his hope was.
If Harry had any hope of catching the Golden Snitch, then he, a training fiend, would definitely be able to force the members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team to fight Slytherin, even if it lasted for three days and three nights. He had to work hard to make up for the 150 points difference, and wait until he surpassed Slytherin by 150 points before letting Harry catch the golden snitch that represented the end of the game.
Because they can only get a ticket to the finals if they surpass Slytherin by 300 points.
But at the end of the day, this game was held shortly before final exams.
They will take the more important final exam in a few days. There is no need to waste these two days of rest, exhaust all their energy, and compete in an invisible competition for such a small hope that is almost invisible. Race to the end.
As the captain, Wood certainly knew this, so he sighed and said lonely:
"You try your best to entangle Malfoy and prevent him from catching the Golden Snitch so early... At least we can't lose so ugly."
Harry looked deeply at his captain and nodded slowly.
The whistle blew to start the game, and all the Quaffles and Bludgers immediately rose into the sky, and the Golden Snitch had long since disappeared.
Hearing the whistle, Harry flew to a very high position in an instant, surveying the entire Quidditch field from a distance.
"Damn it, didn't I ask Harry to pester the Seeker on the other side?" Wood saw Harry's actions and cursed secretly, "Forget it, leave him alone, leave the rest to us. Fred , George, cover Angelina!”
"Copy that, Captain!"
"No problem, Captain!"
Even in the face of this kind of competition with no chance of winning and no future, Fred and George still kept their playful expressions and responded funny.
The game was about to break out like a war, and the players from the two teams quickly became entangled!
High in the air, Harry didn't care about his captain's questioning mood. He squinted his eyes and carefully scanned the various situations in the entire arena with a serious attitude that he had not seen throughout the semester, like an eagle flying in the air looking for prey. …
He saw Fred and George testing each other with Slytherin's Marcus Flint using "Transylvanian Feints"; Angelina took the Quaffle through a Another defense, another block by a sturdy Slytherin player; Wood nervously blocked in front of three Gryffindor circles, watching the Quaffle passing back and forth from a distance...
He also saw two exquisite chairs placed alone on an auditorium platform dedicated to professors outside the arena. Two professors who rarely met in this arena appeared on the seats at the same time.
Dumbledore was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs, admiring the fierce competition; while Dracula was holding a black parasol, leaning on the railings around the auditorium, looking at it with interest The ever-changing Quidditch situation on the field.
All the scenes were in Harry's eyes.
Under the bright sunshine, he completely eliminated distracting thoughts, squinted his eyes, and looked at every suspicious location through the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Suddenly, an abnormal golden reflection quietly appeared from the corner of his eye.
Harry turned his head abruptly, turned the broom and flew towards the golden reflection.
Seeing Harry's move, Slytherin's seeker Malfoy also accelerated like crazy and flew towards his position.
The speed of Nimbus 2001 is obviously much improved compared to the old version of Nimbus 2000. Whether it is the linear acceleration efficiency or the ultimate speed, Malfoy is much faster than Harry.
But Harry naturally has his own methods.
Harry made several light turns in the air and easily left behind Malfoy, who was only good at sprinting with speed, and almost caused him to hit a goal post.
When Malfoy was dizzy, Harry suddenly accelerated and dived towards the location where the golden light appeared!
"Oh my God, I saw it. Harry really discovered the Golden Snitch!" On the Quidditch commentary table, commentator Lee Jordan looked at this scene in disbelief and shouted excitedly, "It was silent for a game. Is the best Seeker of the year finally going back to his original level?!"
The entire Quidditch pitch seemed to be quiet for a moment, and all eyes were focused on Harry.
There was no obstacle in front of Harry, only a small golden ball staying in the air.
"Dududu——"
Ms. Huo Qi blew the whistle indicating the end of the game.
Harry raised the Golden Snitch in his hand high and showed a long-lost happy smile.
In the end, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 160:10, which opened up a huge gap of 150 points between Slytherin.
Looking at it this way, the whimsical idea he proposed with the Hufflepuff players before the game actually came true!
The entire Quidditch pitch was in a state of excitement!
The young Gryffindor wizards, who had not had any enthusiasm for watching games for a long time, were now desperately waving the red flags representing the house and shouting Harry's name.
Professor McGonagall no longer had her usual serious look, but was wiping the corners of her eyes with emotion; Dumbledore showed a relaxed smile, nodded to Dracula, and happily stuffed another piece of sizzling honey into his mouth. sugar.
Dracula also curled up his lips, as if he was quite satisfied with Harry's performance, and he lived up to his act of coming to watch the game with Dumbledore on such a sunny day.
Commentator Lee Jordan, who was sitting in the commentator's seat, was reluctant to leave and was still analyzing the significance of the game——
"Let us first congratulate Gryffindor in advance for winning third place in the Quidditch Cup this year!"
"I believe everyone knows that as the defending champion of the previous season, the Gryffindor team performed very poorly in this season. As the youngest and most promising seeker in the past, Harry Potter Take the main responsibility.”
"But Harry today gave me a different feeling, as if he was the confident best player last year and came back from the moment he won the Quidditch Cup!"
"It's a pity that if he could get back to his current form earlier and win a few more games, maybe Gryffindor could get another ticket to the finals...Unlike now, he can only win a few more games..." A season of third place comes to an end.”
Li Jordan sometimes spoke passionately and sometimes regretfully, occupying the microphone and unwilling to leave. It was not until Ms. Huo Qi was about to clean the arena that she reluctantly gave up her commentator's seat.
At this time, Harry also had no time or energy to care about Lee Jordan's explanation. He was surrounded by his team members, and everyone was asking him what he had figured out. It's as powerful as taking medicine.
Harry smiled as he responded to the jokes and inquiries from his teammates, and finally felt the atmosphere that he had not felt in this team for half a year...
They flew down from the sky while talking and laughing, passing by the stands where the members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team were.
Harry took a moment and gave a thumbs up in Cedric's direction.
Cedric smiled knowingly and gave Harry a thumbs up in return.
Next, they can finally face the final exam with confidence!
