Chapter 789 Quidditch Battle
The Gryffindor and Slytherin teams have left their respective dressing rooms and entered the stadium in neat lines. After both sides entered the stadium, a strong smell of gunpowder gradually spread on the court. Before the game started, Wood and Marcus both held each other's hands hard, as if they wanted to crush each other's fingers.
Lee Jordan still acted as the commentator for the Quidditch match as usual. When introducing the two teams, his slightly biased statement immediately attracted a burst of boos from the Slytherin students.
For a moment, Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded over the court, but it was soon drowned in the roar of the crowd, officially kicking off this dirty game.
As Albert expected, the Quidditch pitch became a battlefield.
When Angelina took the lead to score ten points for the Gryffindor team and flew around the field excitedly waving her fists, she was targeted by Marcus, the Slytherin captain. The guy almost knocked Angelina off the broomstick. Knocked down.
The original screams of excitement were replaced by anger, and waves of "fouls" came from the scarlet ocean.
Although Marcus claimed that he had not seen Angelina just now and apologized to her insincerely, he still could not escape the penalty for this.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the Gryffindor team scored again.
Of course, this matter cannot be settled like this, and revenge will come soon.
Fred "accidentally" flew behind Marcus and "accidentally" hit him on the back of the head with a bat, causing the still-smug guy to hit his head directly on the broomstick handle, causing a bruise on his forehead. There was a red mark and a nosebleed started.
Fred was punished by Madam Hooch for attacking a Slytherin player without any reason.
The game continued, and the conflict on the court began to escalate.
“That guy is really disgusting. What he did just now was definitely intentional.”
Isobel, who was holding up her binoculars, looked a little annoyed, not only her, but also the girls on the court. Just now, Slytherin's chaser Montague actually reached out to pull Katie's hair, and even pretended to claim that he mistakenly thought her head was a ghost ball.
If Katie hadn’t clamped the broomstick between her legs, she would have fallen off the broomstick.
"Even the audience discovered Montagu's despicable methods and actually pulled the girls' hair." Li Jordan raised the microphone and shouted to the audience: "Girls, let us wish that Montague will never be found again." To my girlfriend.”
“Jordan, can’t you just comment?”
"I'm making a fair comment, Professor!" Lee Jordan quickly moved the microphone away to prevent Professor McGonagall from taking it away. "The girls also agree with my point of view."
"The commentator is your friend, he is such an interesting guy." Penello said to Albert with a smile, not because the commentary game is interesting, but because Lee Jordan is very interesting when explaining how the two sides hurt each other.
The Slytherin team was dissatisfied with the Gryffindor team's lead in points and began to resort to unscrupulous methods. Bol even hit Alia with a stick in an attempt to prevent her from scoring, claiming he thought Alia was a Bludger.
Not long after, Bol was retaliated by George. He received an elbow directly on the face and fell down in pain with his hands covering his face.
Of course, both sides were punished by Mrs. Huo Qi.
“They were just fighting.” Isobel said with a frown.
"I have accumulated a lot of grievances recently, so I said that we should have a fight before the game, so that both sides can calm down the anger, so as not to have too strong a smell of gunpowder during the game." Albert was not surprised at all. He still clearly remembered that he had just arrived. In the school's first Quidditch match, both sides sent the other team's players off the field. The Slytherin team clearly had such a plan now.
From the beginning to now, most of the game time has been spent on penalty points. Gryffindor has the advantage in terms of penalty points, and Wood is much better than the Slytherin goalkeeper in saving the ball.
However, Mrs. Huo Qi was so angry at what both parties were doing that she held back and didn't tell everyone to get out.
“Despicable, shameless and obscene…”
Lee Jordan jumped out of Professor McGonagall's reach and yelled into the microphone, "He actually attacked the goalkeeper."
Wood was really unlucky. After saving several **** in a row, he was directly targeted by the Slytherin team's batter. He was hit in the stomach and arm. Fortunately, he grabbed the tail of the broom with his right hand in time and avoided being directly hit. Fell off the broom.
Of course, even if he fell directly, Albert would use a spell to catch him, and in fact he did.
The whistle sounded again, and Mrs. Hooch cursed at the two Slytherin batters, but the punishment was only a light penalty.
Madam Pomfrey was also very angry at the actions of both parties.
Before the game, the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin was too strong. Albert suggested that Madam Pomfrey be allowed to sit on the court to avoid accidents during the game. Wood was the first beneficiary. After taking the next bottle of potion, put on Albert's broom again and return to the court to continue the game.
As for Professor McGonagall, she no longer had the mind to care about Lee Jordan. She was also shouting angrily, obviously very angry at this dirty game.
After Wood's incident, the Gryffindor team became brutal and seemed to no longer care about the outcome of the game.
Angelina directly hit someone with the ball, grabbed the ghost ball and hit Marcus in the face.
Fred and George even picked up sticks and hit people everywhere, as if they had recreated the power of the violent battering couple back in the day. The two of them soon focused on Slytherin's batter, using sticks as weapons, and attacked each other violently. As twin brothers, Fred and George obviously had a better understanding of each other, and they quickly became friends in this confrontation. gained the upper hand.
As for the two bludgers, let them play by themselves!
Mrs. Huo Qi was so angry that she was shaking with anger and was about to blow the whistle to stop the riot, but she soon found that the whistle in her hand made no sound.
Not only the Quidditch pitch, but also the auditorium became noisy. Someone threw a big dung egg into the Slytherin seating area, which immediately exploded the powder keg.
The two sides started throwing things at each other, and one person even took off his boots and threw them away. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, who were sandwiched between Gryffindor and Slytherin, simply suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Looking at the chaotic auditorium, Snape, who was sitting in the front row of the Slytherin team, had his face contorted in anger. Just now, several big dung eggs fell nearby, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of rotten eggs.
The professors also realized that the situation was worse. If it was not stopped in time, it would probably turn into a group fight. This was obviously not what they wanted to see.
They all looked at Dumbledore to see how the headmaster planned to handle this matter.
Dumbledore was also a little surprised by the current chaotic situation. He knew that Slytherin and Gryffindor students often clashed, but he did not expect the situation to be so bad.
Chaos must not be tolerated in crowded areas.
Professor Dumbledore's loud voice drowned out the noise above the stadium, and the noise gradually died down.
Mrs. Huo Qi also took the opportunity to blow her whistle, and the sharp whistle echoed over the court.
Members of both teams were severely scolded by an angry Madam Hooch, and then asked to line up to go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. Anyone who dares to fight without permission during this period will be immediately disqualified from the competition.
They were then given a lesson by an angry Madam Pomfrey.
In the chaotic stadium auditorium, the original riot gradually subsided, and the professors walked back and forth between the auditoriums with faces on their faces to avoid chaos from happening again.
Professor McGonagall finally grabbed the microphone from Lee Jordan, gave everyone a scolding, and warned everyone that if they did not want to watch the game in peace, the school would cancel this year's Quidditch finals.
Well, the threat of canceling the Quidditch match did work, and both sides settled down. There is also a long piece of space deliberately separated between the two, forming two distinct colors.
“I thought the two sides would fight directly in the audience.”
"Albert, you are a prefect, how can you..."
"If there is chaos, even the president of the student union will not be able to help." Albert interrupted with a smile.
After about half an hour, the game continued. This time everyone restrained a lot and no longer started fighting directly. Even if they accidentally bumped into someone, or accidentally slapped someone in the mouth with their swing, they would immediately treat each other with sincerity. The apology is simply harmonious and friendly...that's weird.
The Bludger, which was originally ignored, has become the target of competition between the two sides. Using the Bludger to attack the opponent is undoubtedly the most gentlemanly approach at present.
Harry Potter was hit in the back by a Bludger and fell off his broom. Fortunately, it was only five or six feet off the ground at the time, otherwise it would have been quite choked.
"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall punched Malfoy angrily. While Harry was chasing the Golden Snitch, Malfoy clamped his broom between his legs, grabbed the tail of the Firebolt from behind, and tried to pull it away. Pull back.
Slytherin's batter took advantage of Harry's broom being slowed down and used Bludgers to focus on his lower back, trying to knock Harry out completely with one blow.
The stands were instantly filled with boos, jeers and angry shouts, and some people took the lead in throwing things on the court, cursing Slytherin for being despicable and shameless.
“I have never seen such a despicable guy,” Li Jordan yelled into the microphone. “He actually plans to try to defeat Firebolt by hurting Harry. This guy should get off the court long ago.”
“Look, retribution has come.”
Malfoy, who was originally suspended in mid-air, gloating at Harry's embarrassment, was also attacked by a Bludger. The Bludger hit Nimbus 2001's broomstick, causing Malfoy's broom to lose control and fall straight into the nearby auditorium, landing right in the Gryffindor area.
The enthusiastic audience gathered around Malfoy, not knowing what they were doing.
A few seconds later, the crowd dispersed again, and everyone saw Malfoy staggering up from the ground, his clothes covered with footprints.
“Look, how enthusiastic our audience is.” Li Jordan shouted at the top of his voice: “They seem to be sending their blessings to Mr. Malfoy through some kind of ceremony.”
Laughter instantly enveloped the entire stadium, and even Slytherin's dissatisfaction and anger were suppressed.
Malfoy returned to the court, Harry's injury was healed again, and the game continued.
At present, the Gryffindor team is leading by more than fifty points, thanks to the penalty points after the conflict between the two sides.
As long as Harry catches the Golden Snitch, they will be able to win the final game. This will undoubtedly make the Slytherin team tense up and have to readjust their tactics and assign more people to hold Harry back to prevent him from actually catching it. The Golden Snitch.
The game lasted for more than an hour, and the players were all scarred. The audience below was watching with great enthusiasm. Even Albert had to admit that today's Quidditch final was so exciting, with both sides going to extremes. , directly broke through his understanding of Quidditch, and what was even more exaggerated was that such an action was not prohibited.
Oh, Mrs. Hooch’s whistle seems to be not working again.
The noise and noise on the field suddenly disappeared, and everyone could only see Malfoy in a dive. Harry was also accelerating. Although he was lagging behind, the Firebolt's acceleration was very strong and he was almost catching up with Malfoy.
A Slytherin player knocked Harry to the side. Malfoy was about to reach out to catch the Golden Snitch, but found that his broom was shaking violently.
Arya rushed out from the side and kicked Malfoy's broom, causing the Seeker to completely lose his pursuit of the Golden Snitch.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird, because after the two Seekers left the field, they were replaced by two Chasers chasing the Golden Snitch.
Finally, Slytherin's Chaser Marcus successfully caught the Golden Snitch. When he raised his arms high, the Slytherin audience burst into loud cheers.
The Slytherin team caught the Golden Snitch. They caught the Golden Snitch.
"Oh my God, I really don't know how the Slytherin team picked the captain. Doesn't he know that except for the seeker, it is a foul for any player to touch or catch the Golden Snitch?" Lee Jordan's voice suddenly said sounded.
The atmosphere on the court was stagnant for a moment, and was soon replaced by a burst of laughter.
The expression on Marcus's face froze, and the golden snitch slipped from the tips of his loosened fingers, spread its wings and slipped away.
After the penalty points, the game continued. The scores between the two sides gradually widened and the competition for the Golden Snitch became more cruel.
The Gryffindor team no longer wanted to score. They adopted a one-on-one tactic to give Harry a chance to duel with Malfoy.
Facts have proved that this tactic is very effective.
After a while, the two started fighting for the golden snitch again.
This time, without the interference of others, Malfoy lost, and he lost miserably. The performance of the broom was completely crushed. Even if Malfoy finally threw down his broom and hung on Harry's broom, trying to interfere with him catching the Golden Snitch, it failed.
Harry was more decisive than Malfoy. He jumped forward and rolled a few times on the ground. When he got up, he raised the Golden Snitch in his palm.
As for Malfoy, he fell to the ground holding Harry's Firebolt and looked stupidly at Potter in front of him with his right hand raised high.
Lost.
He lost!
