Chapter 181: The first show, the game ended before it was too late to let go
“It’s so exciting… I can’t imagine Harry Potter finally catching the Snitch with his mouth.”
“For sure, Potter is definitely a very good seeker. When he had problems with his broom, I thought Gryffindor would lose...”
“I’m sure this year’s Quidditch Cup belongs to Gryffindor!”
…
In the castle, everyone was excitedly discussing what happened in the game just now.
Kyle walked through the crowd without saying a word, returned to the Hufflepuff common room, and found Cedric and Connor.
As soon as they met, Cedric couldn't wait to ask: "What happened, why did you come back now, and what happened to the phoenix..."
“The Phoenix belongs to Professor Dumbledore, let’s call it his pet.” Kyle said: “It’s just that it basically stays in the principal’s office all the time, so you rarely see it.”
Kangna thought for a moment and said, "So the principal was looking for you before?"
"Um."
Kyle glanced around and told them in a low voice what happened in the restricted area.
“The three-headed dog went crazy…”
Cedric subconsciously exclaimed, and then he realized what he was doing and quickly covered his mouth.
“Are you serious?”
“Nonsense.” Kyle said: “Otherwise, why do you think I left the game alone and didn’t come back until now?”
“But who on earth would do this?” Cedric wondered: “Using confusion spells and black magic on a three-headed dog will do him some good.”
"I don't know..." Kyle shook his head and said, "Professor Dumbledore hasn't had time to check it yet."
Even though he said this, he suddenly thought of Quirrell.
The restricted area, Lu Wei guarding the Philosopher's Stone... This matter is definitely related to him, but Kyle still can't figure out what his purpose is.
If you want to go through the trap door, there is obviously no need to anger Lu Wei, because this will only make things more troublesome.
And once Lu Wei runs out, Hogwarts will most likely be forced to close. By then, he will never have the chance to get the Sorcerer's Stone.
I can’t figure it out…
"Anyway, it's better that we try not to get close to the restricted area recently." Cedric thought of the three-headed dog and said with some fear: "If you must go to the fourth floor, try to avoid that place."
“There’s no need to be so nervous.”
Kyle said: "Professor Dumbledore is already solving it. Just be careful and don't force yourself to get involved."
After hearing what Kyle said, Cedric and Connor were no longer in the mood to discuss Quidditch, and they quickly separated.
It wasn’t until Kyle left that Cedric suddenly remembered that there was something he had forgotten to ask.
With such a dangerous matter, why didn't the principal call Professor McGonagall instead of going to Kyle... Could it be because he had been following Mr. Scamander before and knew about the three-headed dog?
Cedric raised his head.
But at this time, Kyle had already left the common room. He didn't know where he went, and he obviously didn't have the chance to ask.
For the next period of time, Kyle never came back, even when eating.
And no one knew where he was, it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
It wasn’t until the next afternoon, just before the game, that Cedric saw Kyle again in the locker room.
He was holding a broom and was talking to Harris.
“Very good, Kyle.”
Harris smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "I thought you would be too nervous to sleep, but I even prepared a refreshing drug for you."
Afterwards, Harris boosted morale, everyone checked their brooms and clothes again, and then lined up to go to the arena.
Today's game was also full of people. As last year's champion team, the Hufflepuff team came on the stage, and there were deafening cheers all around.
But Kyle noticed that there were far fewer professors next to the commentary box than yesterday. Most of the seats were empty. Except for Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, no one else came.
It seems that the professors should also know about Lu Wei... Kyle thought as he walked to the middle of the court with the others.
After Mrs. Huo Qi gave a few instructions as usual, she blew the whistle in her hand.
Fifteen flying broomsticks soared into the sky, high into the sky.
“It was Kyle from Hufflepuff, he was the first to grab the Quaffle!”
Li Qiaodan shouted loudly on the commentary platform: "He is a newcomer who joined the team this year. It is said that he achieved an incredible result in the trial. I just don't know if he can still perform in the official game... Oh, He passed the ball to captain Harris..."
I don’t know why, but Li Qiaodan suddenly became serious.
There were some dissatisfied voices coming from the stands... This explanation without even a sarcastic comment was not what they wanted to hear.
But Li Qiaodan turned a deaf ear.
Just kidding, he just copied an entire book "How to Explain Quidditch" under the supervision of Professor McGonagall yesterday. He wrote from the end of the game until the early morning, and almost died in the office.
It’s only been one night, so I must be more restrained.
“As we all know, Hufflepuff’s Harris is one of the best chasers, and the cooperation between him and Kyle... Oh, my God! What did I see... It was a two-way attack tactic!
The Ravenclaw goalkeeper judged that he had missed the wrong person, and the Quaffle was in Kyle's hands... it went in! Hufflepuff scores! Less than ten seconds into the game... they set a new record for the fastest goal! "
The stands were boiling with excitement, and many people stood up excitedly, dancing and cheering.
“Well done!”
On the court, Harris flew back and gave Kyle a light high-five.
"Perfect cooperation..." Li Qiaodan sighed: "Ravenclaw is probably going to be in trouble."
Just as he thought, the entire game was completely taken over by Kyle and Harris.
They were like two emotionless scoring machines, throwing the Quaffle into the goalposts again and again.
The Ravenclaw batters tried to stop them, but Hufflepuff had already been on guard against this move, and the Bludgers couldn't get close to Kyle and Harris.
Only half an hour later, the score was stretched to a very exaggerated level.
Hufflepuff one hundred and seventy.
Ravenclaw zero.
At the end, even Li Qiaodan felt a little numb. When explaining Ravenclaw, there was a hint of sympathy in his voice unconsciously.
“Poor Wisner...he was just like the goalkeeper of the Chudley Cannons back then. He was fooled by the show...I really hope he can hold on.”
It was at this time that Kyle and Harris realized that they seemed to have gone a little too far.
Harris glanced apologetically at the lost Ravenclaw keeper and winked silently.
Kyle nodded understandingly.
They are going to let loose and let Ravenclaw score a few goals.
But at this moment…
“Wait a minute, is that the Snitch?”
A golden stream of light suddenly appeared below the court. Cedric and Qiu accelerated at the same time, side by side, and dived quickly towards the ground.
But Cedric’s broom was obviously faster than Qiu’s, and it landed on the ground first.
“I caught the snitch!” He raised his arms high, and a golden thing loomed between his fingers.
The game is over...
