Chapter 299: Magic defeats magic
Chapter 299 Magic defeats magic
Saturday morning, Kyle got up early and prepared to watch the upcoming Quidditch match.
The arrangement of this year's competition is not very friendly to Gryffindor. They must be the first to face Slytherin after all members have changed their costumes.
Full staff Nimbus 2001...This is already the configuration of a professional team.
Facing such a situation, their mood was naturally not very good, and even Fred and George had no intention of joking.
When Kyle arrived at the auditorium, he saw that the Gryffindor players were all crowded around the empty long dining table, all of them looking nervous and taciturn.
Kyle didn't know what to say, so he hurried over and patted the two of them on the shoulders as they were about to go to the Quidditch pitch.
“Come on, if you win, you won’t have to tap dance around the castle anymore.”
This last school year, Fred and George have been thinking of various reasons to shirk their bet on the Order of Merlin, but they have not fulfilled it yet.
Mainly because the moves they thought of were a bit too weird. Whether it was holding three trophies or tap dancing on a broom, they were all difficult moves.
A single one is barely enough, but taken together...it can only be said to be weak-willed.
Fred's eyes lit up, "Really?"
“Of course, it’s a deal.” Kyle said with a smile.
"To be honest, your way of boosting morale is much more effective than Wood's." George came over. "He only tells us those corny words."
He cleared his throat and waved his hand imitating Oliver Wood, "...Slytherin's broomsticks are better than ours, but the people on our broomsticks are better than them..."
“Isn’t it obvious...why do you need him to say it?”
“But who made him the captain?” Fred spread his hands and said, “We can only cooperate.”
The two of them were teasing Oliver Wood from left to right, and he still looked as depressed and decadent as before.
Kyle even suspected that their appearance just now was just pretending, just to wait for what he just said...
"Hey, Kyle, your expression is so obvious, I can guess what you are thinking." George raised his eyebrows and said, "But it's really not..."
“We were really nervous before…”
“Worried about losing the game…”
"Until we put on this..." Fred patted the gold and red team uniform.
“And we decided that if we can win the game this time.”
“We celebrate in the same way…”
“It has nothing to do with the bet, it’s just a celebration!”
Fred and George walked into the players' locker room with smiles, while Kyle came to the stands for the game. Cedric had already taken a seat for him in front.
"How about it."
“They seem quite confident.” Kyle said with a smile.
“That’s good.” Glancing at the player tunnel, Oliver Wood had already walked out with other players.
"Actually, I asked second-year Hannah and Susan yesterday..." Connor looked at the Slytherin team on the other side, "They all said that Draco Malfoy got better grades in flying lessons than Potter. Not even close.”
"This is normal." Cedric said, "If he flies very well, there is no need to buy brooms for everyone on the team... Nimbus 2001 is ridiculously expensive. If you buy seven at a time, even if the Malfoys have more You can’t waste money like this.”
"You're right."
Mikel squeezed over from the side, "For these brooms, his pocket money has been reduced by more than half."
"If this is the case, then Malfoy should be the team that paid money to enter." Cedric glanced at him, "But Mikel...how do you know this."
“Oh, I heard what he said himself.”
Mikel subconsciously touched his pocket. It was bulging and he didn’t know what was stuffed inside.
While a few people were talking, the game was about to begin.
“Listen to my whistle.” Ms. Huo Qi said, “Three, two, one…”
The crowd roared with excitement as they welcomed them to take off, and the fourteen team members jumped into the leaden sky together.
Harry flew to the highest point immediately and began to look for the Golden Snitch.
But Malfoy was different. He didn't seem to care about the Golden Snitch at all. His eyes were always on Harry, flying back and forth beside him on his broom, as if he was showing off something. It looks very much like a courting bird.
And this went on for five minutes.
“What the **** is Malfoy doing!”
Cedric frowned and said: "He is a seeker...could the Golden Snitch appear in Potter's jacket pocket?"
Even the Bludger couldn't stand it and flew towards the two of them with a roar.
Harry turned the broom in time to dodge, and the Bludger missed the air and flew straight into Malfoy's face.
Looking at the Bludger getting closer and closer, Malfoy seemed to be frightened and stood there blankly like a wooden stake, his pale face full of disbelief.
Didn’t it mean that Seekers only need to pay attention to Bludgers when catching the Golden Snitch?
But the game has just started now, and they haven’t even seen the shadow of the Golden Snitch yet!
The Bludger got bigger and bigger, and soon flew in front of Malfoy, and he closed his eyes subconsciously.
However, the imagined pain did not come. When the Bludger was less than an inch away from him, it suddenly changed direction and flew straight towards Harry.
Harry dodged again, but the Bludger flew over again, as if it had targeted him, and didn't care about anyone else.
Fred and George also discovered this. In order to prevent Harry from being knocked off the broom by the crazy Bludger, they could only fly left and right close to Harry to protect his safety.
It started to rain.
"Someone did something to...this Bludger...!" Fred yelled, knocking the Bludger away with all his strength.
At this time, people in the stands also noticed something was wrong.
"Marcus Flint scored...It's fifty to zero now, Slytherin is temporarily in the lead..."
On the commentary stage, Li Jordan shouted loudly: "But what happened to the Bludger? How many galleons does Harry Potter owe it..."
Wood gestured to Ms. Hooch...
"Oh, Oliver Wood used a timeout! I'd say he should have done that a long time ago...before Harry Potter got his head smashed in by that crazy Bludger..."
The members of the Gryffindor team gathered together to urgently discuss a solution.
In the stands, Kyle was wearing a waterproof and moisture-proof badge, looking carefully for something in the rain.
Finally, he saw a vague short figure in the Slytherin players' tunnel on the opposite side.
“I’ll leave for a moment.” Kyle left one sentence and squeezed out of the crowd.
But he did not go to the opposite passage, but ran towards the direction of the castle.
A few minutes later, Kyle returned, followed by a house elf from the kitchen.
The game has restarted, and the Bludger is still chasing Harry all over the field.
“Kaka, do you know that elf?” Kyle pointed in the direction of the passage, “It seems to be interfering with the Bludger.”
"Kaka doesn't know it, sir!" the elf screamed, "it's not a member of the kitchen..."
“Bad elf, that’s a bad elf! Kaka wants to drive it out!”
Looking at the crazy Bludger in the sky, I don’t know whether it was because of anger or something else. Elf Kaka’s big ears turned red and disappeared with a “pop”.
The next second, a stool rolled out of the passage.
At the same time, the Bludger above the field stopped turning and followed its original trajectory and hit Marcus Flint straight away.
Because of what happened just now, the Slytherin captain thought that the Bludger was going to find Harry again, and had no intention of dodging.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, the Bludger hit him hard in the face.
Marcus Flint fainted on the spot and staggered off the broom.
In the stands, Professor McGonagall, who was watching the game, quickly raised his wand to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.
Thanks to book friend Zhen Xing for the tip.
