Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 79 079. Ravenclaw vs Hufflepuff
The Quidditch match officially began as Mrs Hooch blew her silver whistle.

There were simultaneous applause and cheers from the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stands, with blue and yellow flags waving vigorously by students from both houses.

Meanwhile, Lee Jordan in the main stand began his very personal commentary.

"Welcome to the second game of the season, Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff! Oh! Ravenclaw has a new Seeker, [-]rd grade Qiu Zhang, hope she's as good as she looks …”

"Jordan!" Professor McGonagall's warning voice appeared as always.

Lee Jordan suddenly screamed, "Oh! I'm sorry! What did I see! Ravenclaw suddenly scored! Roger Davis scored!"

The Ravenclaws in the stands immediately cheered loudly and applauded desperately.

"Roger! Roger!"

Eddie raised his hands excitedly.

Scott applauded along with everyone, his eyes wandering among the players in the air.

He noticed that Hufflepuff's lineup also looked very good, and the strength of the two teams was almost the same.

Soon, Hufflepuff also scored.

In the next time, the two teams began to take turns scoring.

Both teams showed an impressive level, the players cooperated smoothly, and the formations of the two sides also had a lot of tricks.

Even the new players who were drafted into the team this school year are doing well.

Unlike the Gryffindor-Slytherin match, there was a lot less flagrant fouling in this match.

Commentator Lee Jordan went out of his way to praise it, prompting boos from the Slytherin stands.

Time passed, and the game quickly entered a white-hot stage, but the score between the two sides was always tight, and no one could gain too much advantage.

"...Maybe the decisive point will eventually fall on the Seekers on both sides." Lee Jordan said excitedly, "I have a hunch that the showdown between Cedric Diggory and Qiu Zhang will be the biggest highlight of this game. Point! Hope that boy Cedric won't lose to his opponent's beauty..."

"Jordan!" Professor McGonagall interrupted his one-liner at the right time.

Scott saw that Cedric's flight was distorted at that moment.

But no one saw the Golden Snitch at this time, Cedric and Qiu Zhang both participated in their respective teams' offensive and defensive systems.

Of course, Cedric's physical condition has a great advantage in this regard.

two hours later.

"The Golden Snitch still hasn't appeared."

The voice of Lee Jordan's commentary has become less passionate.

"It was probably the most nerve-racking game I've ever seen at Hogwarts."

He mechanically reported the score on the field.

"Now it's 160-150 on the field, Hufflepuff is 10 points ahead, oh, Ravenclaw scored again, and now the two teams are tied again."

In the Ravenclaw stands, the students did not cheer for the goal, but gave a round of applause politely.

"Is there no Golden Snitch in this game at all?"

Eddie, too, had lost his passion, and he sat in his seat looking for the Snitch with his head up.

"I guess everyone is hungry!" he said.

Scott is also looking for the Snitch.

Almost everyone on the court was looking for the trace of the little golden thing with their eyes.

But from the beginning of this game, the Golden Snitch did not know where to hide, and did not appear in people's sight once.

"If this goes on, the players will be exhausted." Eddie added.

Actually, he doesn't need to say it.

Everyone can see that the flight movements of the players are not as smooth and beautiful as they were at the beginning.

After a while, the students in the Slytherin stand had begun to leave.

Then, even Gryffindor, who was generally more enthusiastic about Quidditch, left a lot of people.

Just then, the Golden Snitch finally appeared.

It suddenly appeared high in the middle of the court, reflecting golden light in the sun, and both Cedric and Qiu Zhang spotted it.

"The Golden Snitch has appeared!"

Li Jordan roared hoarsely.

"Both Cedric Diggory and Qiu Zhang spotted the Snitch! Oh! They're starting to speed up!"

There was another huge cheer from the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stands.

The narrator's mouth never stops.

"Look! The other players of the two teams are also actively participating in the competition for the Golden Snitch! They are fiercely attacking each other's Seekers and escorting their own Seekers!"

"Oh!"

In the air, Ravenclaw captain Bruce knocked off a Bludger that hit Qiu Zhang's back with the bat in his hand.

The next moment, Roger slammed into Cedric hard on his broom.

Hufflepuff's Chaser quickly stopped him.

Cedric and Qiu Zhang flew up desperately, while their teammates kept fighting fiercely around the two.

In just a few seconds, players on both sides fell off their brooms in the fight.

"They approached the Golden Snitch at the same time!"

Li Jordan's voice was hoarse.

"Oh! The Golden Snitch is moving! It's running downhill, grab it!"

The cunning Golden Snitch bypassed the two Seekers and flew towards the ground at a rapid pace.

Immediately afterwards, Cedric and Qiu Zhang also began to speed up and dive towards the ground.

"They are approaching the ground so fast! No one dares to stop them in a dive at this speed, not even the Bludger can aim! Who can catch the Snitch first? This is not a Lansky fake!"

In the stands, the spectators have all stood up, and everyone watched the movements of the two Seekers with bated breath.

Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall in the main stand stretched out their wands nervously, ready to rescue at any time.

At this time, the Golden Snitch stopped when it was only one meter above the ground.

Both Seekers extended their hands, and Cedric, who had longer arms, clearly had the advantage.

Qiu Zhang simply retracted his hand, clenched the broom handle with both hands and turned the direction, trying to knock Cedric away unexpectedly.

But she clearly underestimated the difference in size and weight between the two.

Cedric withstood the impact, and in the next second he stretched out his hand and picked up the Snitch.

Immediately afterwards, both of them fell on the soft cushion that Professor McGonagall conjured up on the ground.

Deafening cheers came from the Hufflepuff stands as Cedric stood up and raised the Snitch in his hands.

The Hufflepuffs jumped up and threw their wizard hats into the sky.

"Oh! It's such a shame!"

Eddie ruffled his hair with both hands.

Scott stood up, "No way, Cedric has more game experience."

"Well, we do have to give the rookie some opportunities to grow." Eddie also stood up, "As a rookie participating in the official competition for the first time, she has performed well, hasn't she?"

On the pitch, the Ravenclaw players gathered around Qiu Zhang, and Captain Bruce seemed to console her.

Eddie rubbed his stomach, "Come on, we should go eat something to fill our stomach."

Then, after a pause, he asked Scott, "Are we going to comfort Roger?"

Scott shook his head.

"I think there is still a need for a summary meeting within the team, so don't bother them for the time being."

Then, the two walked down the stands and left the stadium with the flow of people.

Eddie kept saying, "It's a shame... just a little bit, isn't it... well, well, fortunately Quidditch is a round robin and we still have a chance."

The two had a big meal in the auditorium, and then walked towards the classical music club located in the basement of the castle.

On the way, the two talked about Milton's recent anomaly.

"Could it be that Professor Flitwick didn't know about this?"

Scott felt a little strange.

He remembered that the Toad Choir and the Classical Music Club, two music societies, were directed by Professor Flitwick.

"Even if the professor won't participate in every club activity, he should be aware of the abnormality that happened there."

The presence of Professor Flitwick was also the reason why he had not paid much attention to this matter before.

"I thought so too." Eddie spread his hands.

He lowered his voice and said, "I thought Roger was displeased with the classical music club's activities for delaying his date with his girlfriend."

"Let's take a look first, we need to understand the specific situation."

Scott quickened his pace.
