Chapter 425: Quidditch final
Chapter 425 Quidditch Final
The next day was the day of the game. After Kyle and the Hufflepuff players had breakfast, they headed to the Quidditch pitch together.
“Good luck, Kyle,” Connor called, waving, and Kyle waved back.
After changing their clothes, they walked out of the locker room and came to the stadium, and the noise was overwhelming.
This is the last game of the year. There are so many spectators in the stands, almost the entire castle is here.
Even Dumbledore was sitting in the middle of the teacher's chair, smiling and talking to Professor McGonagall.
As for Professor Snape and Professor Sprout, they are not among them. They are sitting at the front of their respective colleges, with clear stances.
"The Hufflepuff team is on the field!" Li Jordan, who served as the commentator as usual, shouted: "The ones at the front are Captain Cedric and Kyle... This is a team that can always bring surprises. Team, I feel like they can set a new record for catching the Golden Snitch the fastest today!”
“Slytherin on the other side, led by Marcus Flint…”
While he was speaking, both sides of the game had already arrived in the middle of the court.
“Both captains shake hands!” Ms. Huo Qi said.
Flint and Cedric stepped forward and shook hands.
After a whistle, the game started, and fifteen broomsticks, including Ms. Huo Qi, flew into the sky at the same time.
"Now it's Hufflepuff who has the ball. Kyle is as strong as ever. He got the Quaffle first... Slytherin's Warrington wanted to intercept... Wow, this Bludger was played beautifully, Warrington Stop...nice, Kyle gets past Montague again, he scores, and Hufflepuff takes the lead!"
Hufflepuff supporters cheered as the Quaffle passed through the goal...
In comparison, Gryffindor's voice was a bit muted... They preferred to see the game become anxious, so that Gryffindor could win the championship in the end.
On the court, Kyle, who had just scored, was about to return, but when he turned around, he saw Flint rushing towards him quickly.
Kyle turned the broom in time to avoid being knocked down.
“Sorry!” Flint grinned: “Sorry, I didn’t notice there was someone else here!”
"It doesn't matter." Kyle smiled, "It's normal to play Quidditch."
Flint didn't pay attention at first, but soon he understood what Kyle meant.
During an attack, he was hit hard by the Quaffle. The force was so strong that he almost thought it was a Bludger.
"Foul!" Flint pointed at Kyle and roared at Ms. Hooch: "He did it on purpose. Slytherin should take a free throw!"
But his request was rejected.
“No, that’s a normal pass!” Ms. Huo Qi shouted loudly: “You suddenly appeared in the middle, and the game continues.”
Flint's face turned red with anger and he shook his fist angrily.
Pass the ball?
Does it take that much effort to pass the ball? He felt like the Quaffle could even be thrown outside the court!
At this time, Kyle had already scored the second ball.
20 to 0.
Seeing Hufflepuff taking the lead so early, the Slytherin players were furious and soon began to fight for the Quaffle at all costs.
Boer hit Grace with a bat, and when he was discovered, he claimed that he thought she was a Bludger. Mikel was so angry that he held the broom with both hands and kicked him in the face.
“Oh, this move is so wonderful, I must learn it... Just joking, Professor McGonagall... I mean, this behavior is wrong, you should use your elbow secretly...”
“Jordan!” Professor McGonagall stood up.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm sorry, never again..." Li Qiaodan said quickly: "Ms. Huo Qi will give each side one free throw..."
This time both free throws were scored, and the score reached 30 to 10.
"It's Slytherin who has the ball now. No, Hufflepuff took the ball away, it was Grace. No!... Slytherin took the ball back again and Flint almost knocked her off the broom. …Flint flies towards the Hufflepuff goal…Watch out!”
But Flint scored, a burst of cheers broke out from the Slytherin end, and Snape at the front also showed a gloomy smile.
Next, Slytherin repeated his old tricks.
Montague turned to Kyle. He pretended to grab the Quaffle, but his hand reached for Kyle's broom... And just when his hand just touched the broom, a tree suddenly emerged from the branches. A small thing that looks like a plant bud.
Strange, how could the Bowtruckle be in the broom... Before Montague could figure out the problem, he saw the Bowtruckle stretching out its sharp claws and pricking his finger.
Montai subconsciously retracted his hand, but because he moved too fast, his body shook and he almost fell off the broom.
“Foul!” Meng Tai shouted proudly as he stabilized his body, “Ms. Huo Qi, there is something in his broom, foul!”
Ms. Hooch flew over, but found nothing, and because his action of grabbing the broom was too obvious, Hufflepuff got a free throw opportunity.
"What a pity..." Kyle, who scored a free throw, whispered as he passed by Montague.
Mengtai was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.
Next, Kyle and Grace each made another shot.
60 to 20.
Hufflepuff has an even greater advantage.
There was silence in the Gryffindor stands, and there was no cheering for the goal like before.
Wood was holding his hair. Fred and George were also sitting there, looking at the game in a daze.
Hufflepuff has sixty points, which also means that if the Golden Snitch's one hundred and fifty points are added, their total score will exceed Gryffindor.
Fred and George's emotions were extremely complicated.
They want to win the Quidditch Cup, but they don’t want to see Slytherin win…
Not only them, but others also thought of this. Even Li Qiaodan’s voice became much softer when explaining.
Yet the game continues…
Kyle scored again, 70-20.
Later, Mikel knocked the Quaffle out of Warrington's hand with a Bludger. Grace seized the opportunity, stepped forward to grab the ball, and threw it into the Slytherin goal.
80 to 20.
The Hufflepuff fans below were all hoarse. Professor Sprout was now at the front, using his wand to draw a huge Hufflepuff badger in mid-air.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed.
Many people have seen...the Golden Snitch, hovering less than a few feet above the ground.
At almost the same time, both Malfoy and Cedric moved.
They accelerated suddenly and dived towards the Golden Snitch.
When they were close to the ground, the two of them were already side by side and jumped forward at the same time...
There was no sound around, and everyone was nervously waiting for the results.
Finally, Cedric stretched out his hand, revealing the golden touch between his fingers.
With his height advantage, he was the first to catch the Golden Snitch.
"Congratulations to Hufflepuff..." Li Jordan's voice was choked, but he still said loudly: "They won the final victory and won the Quidditch Cup!"
Hufflepuff supporters broke through the fence and poured into the stadium.
As soon as Kyle landed, he was picked up together with other players and lifted to a high place.
He saw Hagrid who was wiping his tears, and Professor Sprout who was so excited that she was jumping up and down... She didn't look like a professor at all now.
Dumbledore stood in the stands, holding a huge Quidditch trophy in his hand and looking at them with a smile.
