Chapter 449

"I did pay attention to him from then on," Dumbledore said, becoming serious. "John didn't act like Voldemort. He acted more like a Slytherin."

"He fits all the Slytherin traits, including Parseltongue."

"Parseltongue?" Harry asked doubtfully, "John knows Parseltongue?"

"He said it when he opened the box in the Star Club," said Dumbledore, "that he was as good as Salazar Slytherin, but not an evil wizard, Harry."

Seemingly understanding what Harry wanted to say, Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You should not be hostile to the wizards of Slytherin. Hogwarts is a whole."

"Okay." Harry said, not sure whether he heard it or not.

Today's class is over.

…

Malfoy was working hard, and before the first Saturday in April came, he worked tirelessly to do three things.

Lessons, training, laughing at Harry.

Not even qualified to compete, Malfoy laughed at Harry.

"That was the worst Gryffindor result ever."

The Gryffindors glared at Malfoy.

But it was of no use, the day of the Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw match arrived.

Ravenclaw's determination to slay the Slytherin dragon can be felt in the Great Hall.

John advised Malfoy: "Remember, Cedric is not always so good-tempered."

Take it easy and don't cause anything to happen to Qiu Zhang.

Cedric would kill Malfoy.

…

Chapter 473 The Splendid Draco

I don’t know if Malfoy heard it, but when he and Astoria stood together, he was in high spirits.

Today's Quidditch commentator is still Hufflepuff's Ernie, and he seems to like this kind of commentary work.

When Slytherin came on the scene, Ernie's voice rose significantly and he yelled, "Oh my God, two Firebolts? That's cheating!"

Malfoy glared at Ernie when he heard this. What does cheating mean? It's obviously about strength, right?

The Ravenclaw stands suddenly burst into boos.

In the student competition, Slytherin was actually equipped with two Firebolts.

This is all about spending money on equipment and has no regard for martial ethics.

Astoria was not as thick-skinned as Malfoy, her face was red, and she was holding the Firebolt uneasily in her hands.

Malfoy had his hands on his hips, accompanied by Goyle and Crabbe who were the guardians on the left and right.

He stood in front of Astoria with a shameless image of being unafraid of all the criticism.

John saw Luna mingling in the Ravenclaw stands, with a lifelike eagle waving its wings above her head.

She was also booing and waving her fists, very into the fun.

As soon as the Ravenclaw team came out and saw two firebolts, Qiu Zhang's face turned dark.

Can’t afford it?

As a representative of Ravenclaw who is smart, he finally thought of dealing with the trident, but you told me that the trident turned into a two-king strategy?

"Let's talk about it first. If you lose, you are not allowed to cry, and you are not allowed to complain to Cedric."

During the handshake, Malfoy followed the fine Slytherin tradition and trash-talked Cho Chang.

Qiu Zhang was also unconvinced and said harshly, "Be prepared to face failure, Ravenclaw will not lose!"

Neither of them gave in to the other.

Malfoy continued to use his team's characteristics when shaking hands, and played a dirty trick, which made Qiu Zhang's hand hurt.

Furious, Cho Chang wanted to throw the broom at Malfoy's head.

"start!"

Ms. Huo Qi blew the whistle, and both parties took off at the same time.

I saw two flying broomsticks sweeping away the dust together.

Ms. Hooch releases the ball.

"So fast, Astoria took the lead and scored a goal!"

Within a few seconds of the start, the score on the field immediately changed.

Astoria grabbed the Quaffle immediately and put it into action.

"Well done, Atto!" Malfoy punched hard.

Qiu Zhang shouted: "Hold on, don't let them disrupt our formation!"

The person under the greatest pressure is Qiu Zhang. She has to ensure that she can catch the Golden Snitch in this game.

Malfoy circled the pitch, his eyes searching for the Snitch.

Qiu Zhang is not willing to be outdone. She may not be good at confrontation, but Ravenclaw has always been well prepared in terms of tactics.

Even with the addition of Firebolts, the other two Chasers were restrained.

Ravenclaw's beater hit a Bludger at Astoria, forcing Astoria to slow down.

The chaser behind him ran over and fought with Astoria.

Seeing this, Goyle knocked the Ravenclaw batsman away in a very uncouth manner, and used the club in his hand to knock the Bludger away and hit the Chaser.

Another Chaser wanted to step forward, but was knocked away by Slytherin Chaser Vasai in an extremely unreasonable manner.

"Foul, it's a foul!" Ernie shouted excitedly, "The referee gave a penalty!"

"The ball went in! The score came to 70:40, Ravenclaw is holding on tight!"

Ernie commented passionately: "I'm very anxious. Is this hope? Will Slytherin, which has won 11 consecutive victories, usher in its terminator?"

"Is that you, Ravenclaw?"

John suspected that Ravenclaw had bribed Ernie. Why did his commentary today feel like he couldn't wait for someone to end Slytherin's victory?

The Ravenclaws heard Ernie's words and responded loudly with songs.

"It's me, I'm the eagle soaring in the sky, the wise and proud eagle!"

The atmosphere of this match even surpassed the last match against Gryffindor.

Ravenclaw is unprecedentedly powerful. Will the soaring eagle eat the undefeated snake today?

Gryffindor cheered for Ravenclaw loudly. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They all sang songs belonging to Ravenclaw.

For a time, eagles sang from all sides.

The pressure on Slytherin increased, and Ravenclaw threw another ball.

The score came to 70:50, only twenty points behind!

Cho Chang smiled proudly and looked at Malfoy provocatively.

"Look, Ravenclaw's exquisite passing and control tactics!"

"Don't look, it's just a desperate struggle." Malfoy knew how to make people angry, and Qiu Zhang almost bumped into him with one sentence.

In fact, Malfoy also felt the pressure.

His palms were sweating, and the end of the eleven-game winning streak and Slytherin's pillar of shame were waving at him.

He became anxious inside.

Astoria acted as a decoy, tricking Ravenclaw into intercepting, and cleverly passed the ball to Vasai from his right hand.

Slytherin scores.

The Bludger hit Urquhart, and the Ravenclaw Chasers stole the ball and threw it into the goal.

Ravenclaw scores.

The game was extremely tense, with the score never getting closer than thirty, and Slytherin was even once tied.

The Golden Snitch was also particularly difficult to find. Malfoy saw a golden light out of the corner of his eye, but it quickly disappeared.

The singing in the stands continued, bringing huge psychological pressure to people.

suddenly.

Malfoy heard singing. The voice was quiet at the beginning and became clearer and clearer later on.

"We came from a quagmire;

We long for rights,

…”

It's Slytherin.

He looked up and saw singing rising from the Slytherin stands.

Although compared with the three courtyards, the voice was suppressed.

But this was telling Malfoy something.

Slytherin is behind you.

The pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared, and Malfoy's tense body relaxed at the right moment.

Not only him, but also the Slytherin players.

Astoria received Urquhart's pass and broke into Ravenclaw's goal.

The thirty-point curse was broken.

This ball was like opening a hole in the dam, and Slytherin's morale was back!

This opening became the switch that destroyed the dam.

More and more goals opened up the score, and Slytherin's trident strategy was to go hand in hand, each of which could be used as a fatal blade.

The score was stretched to fifty points and headed towards sixty points.

Now it was Ravenclaw's turn to put the pressure on. They had previously estimated that if they could control it within 50 points, they would be able to guarantee their qualification for the finals.

Now Astoria breaks through again and the score expands to 60 points!

Qiu Zhang knew that she could not continue, she wanted to end the battle.

She was anxiously looking for the golden snitch.

Sweat dripped down her forehead and crossed the corners of her eyebrows, and she saw it!

The Snitch appears beneath the Gryffindor Stand.

Without thinking, Qiu Zhang rushed down immediately.

Malfoy noticed her movement and saw the golden snitch.

"It's the Golden Snitch! It's appeared!" Ernie yelled at the top of his lungs. "The score is currently sixty points apart. As long as you catch the Golden Snitch, you can win!"

"Qiu Zhang is about to meet him!"

The dawn of victory was right in front of him, and a smile appeared on Qiu Zhang's tense face.

But the next second, a hand appeared next to her and broke her smile.

"Qiu... no! It's Draco Malfoy!" Just as Ernie was about to declare victory, he saw Malfoy driving a Firebolt and rushing past Qiu Zhang.

He caught the Golden Snitch, but because he was too fast, he fell off the broom.

I thought Malfoy would be embarrassed, but unexpectedly, Malfoy turned around and hit the curtain of the Gryffindor stand, sliding down with the help of the curtain.

Stepping on the Gryffindor flag, he raised his right hand after landing.
