A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 636: Quidditch match
Harry and Slytherin captain Urquhart glared at each other, and as they turned to return to the team, Harry grinned in pain, his hand about to snap off.
"Listen to my whistle," cried Mrs. Hooch, "three-two-amidst a roar of applause, fourteen players soared into the sky. As seen on the flower board, it is clear and translucent, as if it has been scrubbed with a wet rag. The goalkeeper flew to the goal first, and the three chasers performed their duties.
Harry stopped Perks and Gutt—both hitters, eager to try with their bats. Harry made a circle, approached them and shouted in a low voice, "Don't forget the plan. "Gut gestured a no problem' gesture, and Perks responded with a hum,
Harry asked them to arrange tactics individually, asking them to pay more attention to the goal a few minutes before the game started, and to use Bludgers to support Ron when necessary. This is the job of the batsman, but this year's Gryffindor team is a bit special, more than half of them are fresh blood, which makes the overall state of the team not stable enough, and the most important position of a team is to find the ball The hand is about to belong to the goalkeeper.
Harry privately calculated that the state of Ron's entire training had a lot to do with the success rate of the previous few attempts.
Aside from that—Harry also found that Perks seems to be interesting to Chaser Demirza Robbins,
While Ron once mocked Demelza's flying posture "like a sleepwalking duck", he worried that Perks would bring emotions to the court.
"Don't forget we're one," Harry yelled, before flying away resignedly.
He glided lightly across the sky like a foraging owl, soaring higher and higher until all he could see from the stands was a small black dot, all the while turning his gaze away from the The sun, trying to catch the Snitch in the flash of a telescope lens below
"Urquhart in Slytherin got the Quaffle," a trance voice floated over the field, "he's the captain of the team, he's not small, he's about the size of his players, I guess it's a A special selection method—it can suppress the sweep belt when dealing with windy and other bad weather. Of course, the weather is very good today, and I saw the giant squid lying on the ice and basking in the sun—"
The audience in the stands looked towards the direction of the Black Lake,
The narrator of this game is indeed Luna. Her dress is the same as usual, with some fingernail-sized colorful pebbles mixed in her pale yellow fluffy hair, shining brightly in the sun. There was also a lion-shaped hat on the table in front of her, which was as big as a real lion's head. Harry knew that it could make a very realistic roar. glance at it.
"Urquhart started to attack, he looks fierce, I feel more oppressive than the player who got the ball last time, his back seems to be wider—"
"It was him last time!" Professor McGonagall reminded her loudly.
The audience roared with laughter. Luna said blankly, "Yeah? I didn't recognize them, they all looked alike - oh, look, Ginny cut the ball, I like her, she's nice - there were three Slater Players Lin surrounded him, and Ginny passed the ball to Demirza, a girl who was also thin, Gryffindor seems to have a tradition of picking girls as Chasers, which is the opposite of Slytherin."
"Now it's Slytherin's turn to get the ball, it's in, the Gryffindor keeper missed it, it's a pity, maybe the sun was shining, but Ron looked a bit discouraged-"
"The Slytherin team leads ten to zero!" Professor McGonagall shouted into Luna's microphone.
Harry's heart sank. He lowered his flight altitude and saw Ron expressionless with his back to the goal. Perks and Gut were very close, and a mass of fiery red hair was Ginny, yelling at the two of them angrily:
"What are you doing?" At this moment, a swift Bludger flew towards Harry, and Harry suddenly lowered his head,
The Bludger flew past his scalp, and as he straightened up he saw Gregory Goyle waving a bat and grinning at him.
Luna's misty commentary sounded again from the stands.
"Gryffindor's Seeker Harry showed up, he was far away before, maybe to adjust the tactics Gryffindor played conservatively, their batsmen stayed in their own half Come out." Luna said calmly: "We should be considerate of them, they are playing for the first time, of course, there may be some kind of tactics that I can't see, I don't know much about Quidditch"
There was loud laughter from the stands,
The disadvantage of lacking the cooperation of two batters still appeared. The three Gryffindor girls seemed to be at a loss when facing the Slytherin Chaser, and they had to beware of the Bludgers flying out of nowhere , Ginny was forced to give up the Quaffle twice.
"The Slytherin players organized the attack under the leadership of the captain—huh? The Gryffindor batsman Perks finally moved away from his own goal. Will this be a welcome change?" Luna Said: "But the other one is still going around in circles. He seems to be Ron's bodyguard. Although he is actually only one-third of Ron's size, a wooden stick is still very deterrent under the premise that he cannot use a wand. Powerful—"
"Oh, look! The three Slytherin Chasers broke through the half-court, and they were passing the ball to each other,
Not sure who to pitch? Now is not the time to hesitate—one"
"Slytherin used Kipling tactics," Professor McGonagall interjected.
Harry lowered his height nervously, his heart hanging. The so-called Kipling tactic refers to the three chasers of a team approaching the opponent's goal at the same time, exchanging Quaffles quickly in high-speed movement until the last moment It is only by allowing the person with the greatest positional advantage to enter the scoring area to throw the ball, so that the goalkeeper on the defensive side cannot accurately judge who is the main attacker, and he loses sight of the other.
Ron's face went pale, and the broom was swinging back and forth between three huge rings, which showed that he hadn't made up his mind yet. The batter Gut slapped the air feebly, unable to do anything, at this time one by one "bang!" There was a loud bang, and a drilled Bludger hit the back of the head of the player wearing the silver-green jersey on the left, and he flipped over. Then fly out.
It's Perks!
Harry thought for a moment that he had given up his orders to help Ginny and the others, but Perks salvaged something with a hard drive across half court, and then Ron finally made the right call and he lunged forward , with a one-in-two chance of making a thrilling save on Urquhart's pitch. The field cheered.
"Well done!" Harry exclaimed, and Ron had a slight smile on his face, although it didn't matter that Harry was praising Purks. "Counterattack!" Harry roared, "Gut, let them know how good you are!"
With a big smile on Gut's face, he caught the Bludger hit by Perks, aimed his backhand at Urquhart, and with a bang, Urquhart stumbled on the broom, confused He straightened up and made a rude gesture towards Gut. Then a timeout was called.
"It was a good shot," Grindelwald said in the stands, putting down his binoculars. Dumbledore looked at the field with a smile, but did not speak.
At this time, Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle, and Harry and the others landed. The medical staff checked the Slytherin player who was hit in the back of the head. Shock. But when Madam Pomfrey fed him a large potion, he was able to continue playing.
The competition began to become more intense. This is an elegant rhetoric, another way of saying it is unscrupulous, and to be more straightforward—
"The game has become ugly." Luna said regretfully: "The Slytherin players seem to be suffering from clinginess. Too used to it." She seemed to really think so, and for the next ten minutes she focused on 'more interesting places, such as the strangely shaped clouds in the sky, and the pattern printed on the huge banner in the stands: a silver green The little snake opened its mouth and swallowed the lion.
"I didn't see the bulge on the snake's belly." Luna said seriously. Standing aside, Professor McGonagall kept a straight face, flexing and stretching her fingers, as if trying to **** the microphone from her,
Harry is not interested in banners.
He kept swimming above the field, and occasionally noticed the back of Draco Malfoy's head gleaming in the sun. Draco adopted the opposite strategy to Harry's, gliding close to the turf. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If Draco happens to find the Snitch nearby, there will be no suspense in the game, but his search efficiency is obviously not as good as Harry's - but there is no way around this, the results of past games It proved that when Harry was in good condition, he could always find the Snitch first.
But it was Harry's first time playing as captain, which made him unable to help but focus on the players of his team.
On the field, Slytherin's Chaser Warrington took advantage of his size and kept blocking Ginny's sight. The other two players fixed Demirza firmly, looking like two fat A pitiful little tomato was caught in a big-eared cabbage. They headed straight for the ground, and Demirza couldn't get away from left and right, and was about to hit the ground, thanks to Gut's Bludger to help her out.
This is also the style and tactics that Slytherin is good at, and it is closer to a primitive form of Quidditch - mid-air collision, similar to the medieval horse spear fight, the only purpose is to get as many other players out of the way as possible. The broomsticks are knocked down, leaving the last one standing as the winner. These contents were told to the players when Wood was still there. The brains he used to mock the Slytherin team fell centuries ago,
Harry later found the detailed version in the book "The Magical Quidditch",
"But sometimes it does work," Wood himself admitted that the Slytherin team tactics have merit:
"Talented players are rare to come across, but ordinary players can easily gain the upper hand with their exaggerated size-except for Seekers, who are generally weak." He said comfortingly to Harry.
On the court, the commentary stand has been silent for five minutes, because today's commentator seems to be distracted, completely immersed in his own world. However, Luna finally remembered her duty when fierce shouts erupted from the stands.
"Katie has the ball now, she's an old player with a lot of experience," she said cheerfully, "Three Chasers in Slytherin are busy fouling, it's a smooth road ahead, just be careful not to be caught." Bludger hit
—oh, wow, wow," she let out a series of admiration, her eyes becoming more bulging. "Katy's teammates cleared the way for her, and she's going to face the Slytherin keeper, sorry, I forgot His name, Professor McGonagall, snatched the microphone angrily, and was about to say something when Luna suddenly opened her eyes, "Look!"
The crowd exclaimed,
Katie Bell seems to have made a mistake that shouldn't have been made. She was diving with the Quaffle, and the opponent's goalkeeper stared at her movement without blinking, trying to see some tricks, but He was facing the same choice as Ron—the opponent was too fast, and it was too late to reveal his true intentions. He could only estimate a general direction and rush out, and the goal opened instantly.
At this time, if Katie turns suddenly—this is easy, because her weight is only half of the opponent—she will get an unguarded goal, but Katie just gave up and took the initiative. The Quaffle in his hand was thrown out, the movement was very light, as if he was afraid that the opponent would not be able to catch it.
The goalkeeper catches the ball easily. He froze, unable to believe his good luck.
There were loud sighs and boos from the stands,
As the referee, Mrs. Hooch stuffed the silver whistle into her mouth and was about to blow it. A botched match-fixing incident happened in front of her, but she changed her mind immediately-"Harry!" Katie yelled shouted.
Harry followed her gaze and saw a small golden ball floating quietly in the center of the Slytherin goal.
There was a surge of ecstasy in his heart, the broom accelerated rapidly, and everything in the field slowed down in his eyes: Draco just turned his head back, with a smile on his face, as if he was happy that his opponent had made a major mistake ; the Slytherin keeper cheered with the Quaffle and ran up to Katie Bell to shake his fists in demonstration... This was the moment, Harry thought, leaning forward like a red-and-gold javelin, It brushed over the top of the keeper's head - Harry could even see his back molars grinning, and then he reached out to grab it.
Yes! Harry circled in the air, came to a stop just in front of the goal, raised his arms, and the Snitch's long, narrow wings poked out from between his fingers.
The stands were stunned for two seconds, but Luna was the first to react. Of course, it might be because she didn't think there was anything wrong. Last full stop.
"Harry caught the Snitch, the game is over."
Enthusiastic spectators pulled out beautiful flags from every corner of their bodies~IndoMTL.com~The stands instantly turned into a sea of scarlet.
Cheers echoed in the cold sky, mixed with the howls and groans of the Slytherins. Slytherin captain Urquhart rushed over and yelled at Mrs. Hooch, accusing Gryffindor of cheating, but even the harshest referee couldn't find fault. It's a big profit.
"Katie Bell - Katie Bell - Katie Bell -"
This was the first time Harry caught the Snitch. People were shouting another player's name enthusiastically, but Harry didn't feel jealous at all. He couldn't wait to jump off his broom and hug Katie tightly. Bell, along with the audience on the field, called her name, and then more players rushed down and hugged each other.
There was a little accident in the middle.
Luna secretly put on her lion head hat while Professor McGonagall was not paying attention. The roar of the lion spread throughout the stands through the microphone of the commentary stand. Seeing that Professor McGonagall's face was elongated, his mouth opened and closed, but no sound could be heard, he suspected that he was temporarily deaf.
There was no shortage of smart people in the audience, some of whom were the first to pull out their wands and launch fireworks into the sky, and many followed suit.
Ginny's fiery red hair danced in front of her eyes, and her face was flushed like a tempting syrup tart. Harry finally couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, and kissed her.
Ginny was a little surprised at first, and then responded enthusiastically.
