Chapter 730 Dumbledore: 1 must be Sniff dry (page 12)
Saturday is also the day of the first Quidditch match of the new school year.
This morning, the Hufflepuff table was almost a sea of yellow, while the Gryffindor table was golden and red.
The feud between the two academies has been going on for a week, and today there will finally be a result.
"I thought you wouldn't participate in this game." Mikel handed a glass of pumpkin juice to Kyle. "When I saw your name on the roster, I knew we would win this game. ”
"It's a bit premature to say so." Kyle took the pumpkin juice and took a sip. "It's better to keep a low profile. It would be embarrassing if we lose."
"I don't think so." Mikel said nonchalantly.
"How do you feel? It's okay." Qiu also came over to cheer Kyle up.
"I think it's okay." Kyle said with a smile, "Harry and I joined the team in the same year, and we are considered old rivals now. I don't think we will lose to him this time."
Kangna next to him looked back at him, what do you mean he won't lose this time? He just asked Mikel to keep a low profile, but when it was his turn, he was not polite at all.
Of course, all Hufflepuffs, including herself, thought so too.
"That's good." Qiu said, "But you still have to be careful about Harry's Firebolt. I feel that your new Seeker is not as good as Cedric."
"Don't worry, Grace has already made a plan." Kyle said, "And our new seeker is not much worse than him. I know Cedric's face is a plus, but you can't always bring him with you." It’s about personal emotions.”
There was a burst of tacit laughter from all around.
"Then I'll wait and see." Qiu's face turned slightly red, she glared at Kyle angrily, turned and left.
"I was really worried that she would get angry and punch you." Kangna said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, I can beat Cedric later, same thing." Kyle took a bite of toast nonchalantly.
……
"It's time to go." Ten minutes later, Grace stood up and said.
The group left the auditorium and strode towards the stadium.
The weather outside is nice, and although it's still a little cold, it's much better than it was a week ago.
Several people came to the locker room and changed into Quidditch uniforms.
"The conditions are very favorable to us," Grace said. "The most experienced Katie Bell is still at St. Mungo's, and Gryffindor has to replace a new Chaser."
"Who?" Mikel asked.
"Dean Thomas."
"Who?"
"Potter's classmate."
"Oh, a sixth-grade student." Mickel felt relieved immediately.
Generally speaking, the younger the new players are, the more talented they are. Harry, for example, joined the team in the first grade.
As for the new players in the sixth grade, they are basically the kind who have not been selected in the past few years. They really can't choose anyone this year, so they join based on their physical advantages.
There are exceptions, but that's the case for the most part.
As for Dean Thomas, Mikel has almost never heard of his name.
"Okay, this is our first game, don't underestimate the opponent." Grace said, "The game starts in five minutes. You'd better put on your boots quickly."
They came to the crowded stadium outside, and deafening cheers immediately came from the stands. They were Hufflepuff supporters. They were wearing the same color clothes and looked like a golden ocean.
And judging from the supporters, the number of Hufflepuffs is obviously much larger, accounting for about two-thirds of the stands.
This is mainly due to Slytherin. Their purpose is very clear. Whoever is Gryffindor's opponent, they will support him unconditionally.
Grace and Harry walked up to Ms. Hooch and shook each other's hands.
There was no tense atmosphere, and both captains seemed quite polite.
"Get on the broom and listen to my whistle...three...two...one!"
As the whistle sounded, everyone immediately rose into the air on their broomsticks.
"Okay, now they set off."
A completely unfamiliar voice came from the commentary box. This was Li Jordan's new commentator after graduation, Hufflepuff's Zachary Smith.
"What a surprise, I actually saw Ron Weasley, I thought after his poor performance last term, he would not be kept in the team... Oh, and he has a close personal relationship with the captain, no doubt It helped him a lot.”
There was a burst of jeers from the Slytherin side, and within a minute of the start, they recognized this new explanation.
Harry looked annoyed, but he had no time for that now.
"Grace got the Quaffle...What a charming girl...Kyle flew over, there was no one next to him, it was a good opportunity, just pass...
"Oh my God, she didn't pass to Kyle, she passed to Toews...wait!"
Zachary Smith suddenly screamed: "What an unexpected tactic. Kyle is not a chaser, he is a seeker!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Many people had already noticed that Kyle had not looked at the Quaffle since the start of the game, but flew directly to the highest place... This is something only a seeker would do.
They need a wider field of view to find the Snitch!
In the audience, Qiu looked at the court with a shocked face. He couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that Kyle went to be a seeker!"
"I thought you could guess it just now." Kangna smiled.
Qiu then remembered what Kyle had just said in the auditorium.
But what kind of reminder is this? After all, when Hufflepuff was training before, Hufflepuff's seeker was obviously someone else. No matter how hard she tried, she would never have guessed that they would replace him directly during the game. ah!
"That's the benefit of being a substitute," Kangna explained: "He can change positions at will."
"Have you known this for a long time?" Qiu asked.
"No, I just found out yesterday." Kangna said, "This is also the tactic they discussed last night."
"I have to say, this tactic was so successful." Qiu couldn't help but say, "Hufflepuff gave everyone a surprise!"
The truth was exactly what she said. After learning that Kyle was replacing the Seeker position, the audience immediately became excited.
Everyone knows that the only thing that can fight against Firebolt is another Firebolt, and now Hufflepuff's only shortcoming has been filled.
As for Kyle's Seeker skills... no one seems to be thinking about this issue at all.
"boom!"
Just when the cheers on the court reached their peak, in the tower not far away, Snape pushed open the oak door of the principal's office and walked in angrily.
He placed a water glass in his hand heavily on the table.
Dumbledore, who was watching the game through the window, was startled. When he turned around, he saw that Snape's face was red with anger.
It was unusual for Snape to lose his composure like this.
