168. Attack of Quidditch

I don’t know what kind of mentality the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Quidditch teams had. They kept the friendly match a secret very well. Slytherin has not heard any news about it so far.

Saturday has arrived in a blink of an eye. Today is the big day between Gryffindor and Slytherin. In the past few days, the two houses have been full of excitement, and verbal collisions have become commonplace. If it weren't for the extra attention from the professors, All martial arts may be staged.

During breakfast, Wood's face looked a little solemn. He sat down from the row of tables in his grade to sit next to McGoss.

"I just got the news that Slytherin seems to have a new secret weapon. Look at how they look now, it looks like they have a chance to win."

Magos and Harry turned back across the Ravenclaw table. It was true that their place was now very lively, and everyone was talking loudly with confidence and joy.Those who didn't know thought the game was over and they were holding a celebration banquet.

"Are you scared?" Magos looked back and asked with a chuckle.

Wood exploded instantly, and Harry and Ron's expressions also turned bad. These words were too damaging to Gryffindor. Wood suddenly stood up and said viciously, "I'm afraid of those just... A Slytherin who knows how to play dirty tricks?"

Magos shrugged, "Then why are you nervous? The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. They have secret weapons. We are not playing until now. Don't forget what I said before, we are Gryffindor, we are brave and fearless , don’t be afraid when you get on the field. If they dare to play dirty tricks, just go up to them. Don’t tell me that you can’t touch them.”

Wood sneered and strode back to his seat without any further retort.

"Isn't that too much?" Hermione looked nervous at Wood who was leaving.

"Don't worry, it's better to be a general than a general. Wood is not the captain because he is a senior student." McGoss smiled, "Are we all ready?"

"Get ready, are those things really useful, and can we use them? What if the professors don't allow it..." Ron didn't finish his words, with a worried look on his face.

"There will be no problem. Hermione and I have studied regular Quidditch games. Some teams will also do this, and no wizard explicitly does not allow such behavior."

Ron nodded.

The time moved to eleven o'clock minute by minute, and all the teachers and students of the school headed to the Quidditch match.After leaving the castle, everyone discovered that the weather today was not very good, with sultry weather, gloomy sky and faint thunder.

"Too bad, today is not a good day for Quidditch. You have to be careful, Harry." Ron looked up at the billowing dark clouds.

"Come on Harry." Magos and Hermione cheered for Harry.

"I will." Harry waved his broomstick vigorously and walked to the locker room with the other team members.

"Let's go. You can tell the other Gryffindors about our plan later. I need to arrange the materials in advance." Magos took Ron's magic pocket, said it hurriedly and ran forward.Ron and Hermione looked at each other, nodded and ran after them.

Magos ran to the Gryffindor stands, taking out a material from his pocket and throwing it on the ground from time to time. This was a complex but simple magic prop he learned from "Strange Magic Items".Other students saw this and curiously asked what they were doing, but Magos ignored it and continued to arrange the magic materials in a hurry.Ron and Hermione, who caught up behind them, took on the role of explanation.After listening to what they two said, all the students looked at Magos, who was still throwing materials, with surprised and shocked eyes.

When Hagrid came over, Magos finally finished laying out all the materials.

"I'm really curious as to why you have so many fantastic ideas in your mind." Hagrid obviously knew that he was ahead of his game, and smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

At this time, the two teams walked out of their respective locker rooms.The field erupted into huge cheers.

"You see, no one expects Slytherin to win." Hermione said, pointing to the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stands.It was obvious that they were cheering for Gryffindor.

"Their two teams are more concerned about whether the friendly match has any effect. Nothing can show the effect better than a formal game." McGoss took out his wand. He was waiting for Mrs. Hooch to invite Flint and Wood to shake hands. .

The two teams surrounded the city in a semicircle and flew into the air. Principal Dumbledore also levitated four huge stands. The dark clouds that were originally low seemed to be within reach by raising his hand.

Mrs. Hooch flew to the center, called Flint and Wood to both sides, and asked them to shake hands after saying the same things: safety first, friendship second, competition third.Both of them looked at each other with threatening eyes, holding their hands tightly, wanting to crush each other's hand.

Mrs. Hooch raised her hand and was about to blow the whistle when Magos decisively activated all the previous materials. This is a large combined magic prop that can reflect the illusion stored inside.

After Magos started the material, a loud roar erupted from the Gryffindor gallery.At the same time, the viewing seats were replaced by a huge and powerful lion. The giant lion squatted in mid-air. The equally huge and majestic lion's head was slightly lowered, looking at the two Quidditch teams in the center with a solemn look.It's like a king waiting for two little bugs to amuse himself.

"What, what is this?" The students who were looking intently at the center of the field were attracted by the sudden loud noise and looked at the giant lion that suddenly appeared.Even the two teams were no exception, but the Gryffindor side was pleasantly surprised after the initial surprise. If it were displayed using data, you could see the morale plus n above them. On the contrary, the Slytherin side's expressions changed drastically. , the confidence brought by the new flying broomstick also dropped a lot.

"Wood, is this the secret weapon you prepared? Just a fake lion?" Flint said through gritted teeth. Although he said that, he knew the power of this lion better than anyone else.

Wood smiled softly, "I think that's enough." He turned back to look at his team members, and suddenly raised his right arm.

"Definitely!"

"We must win!" the Gryffindor players waved and shouted with excitement.

Flint could only look at them hatefully, regretting why he didn't think of this method.

Mrs. Huo Qi also hesitated at this time whether to continue looking at the teacher's chair.

"I protest, this is cheating." Snape suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at the 'giant lion' with a gloomy face. With his ability, he could easily see that this was a huge illusion at a glance. Lin Te could see the power of this lion, how could he not see it.

"I propose that Gryffindor rights to contest be revoked."

Dumbledore was also shocked by Gryffindor's sudden hand, but the relief in his eyes could be clearly seen by anyone who was not blind.He said to Snape pretendingly.

"Severus, this is not cheating. I seem to remember that some Quidditch teams have this habit. The referees did not prohibit such actions, but it is indeed a bit inconvenient, so be it." As he said this, he took out the elder A flick of the wand.

It seems that the extremely real 'giant lion' has suddenly become much more transparent, and you can see through it the viewing seats inside. However, the transparent lion does not lose its majesty at all, and it becomes even more mysterious because of its transparency.

Snape was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but the principal had already spoken, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his mouth, then sat down again with a sullen face, thinking in his mind who had come up with this bad idea.

Mrs. Hooch also received the message from Dumbledore, nodded, and shouted loudly, "Listen to my whistle, three-two-one." After that, she blew the magic whistle hard.The teams on both sides moved quickly.

At this time, everyone's eyes returned to the game from the giant lion, and the cheers rose and fell.

The Slytherin team had an ominous feeling after the game started. They found that the Gryffindor team did not show surprise and anger after discovering their new broomsticks, and they did not face them like before. The little movements are timid.Instead, he seemed to be a different person, his movements were so big and scary,

A Slytherin beater bumped into Gryffindor's chaser as usual. Who knew that Gryffindor, who was supposed to avoid him, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine this time, and instead of retreating in the face of his collision, he advanced. , faced him fiercely, and Slytherin, who miscalculated, was knocked unsteady and almost fell off the broomstick.After he tried hard to control the broomstick, he looked at Gryffindor's back in confusion, "Dude, did you eat dynamite?"He looked back at his team members, feeling that he was about to be laughed at, but what he saw was that all the Gryffindors seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and they all responded fiercely to their provocations.

The continuous blows prevented Slytherin from reacting and he lost several balls in a row.

"Gryffindor scored another goal. They are great. Let's give them a round of applause." Lee Jordan, as a Gryffindor, was certainly proud of this, even though he was now a commentator.Professor McGonagall glared at him, but when she turned around, her serious expression disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face again.

Slytherin is not a weak team. Although their morale has dropped one after another due to continuous blows, their strength is still there, and their mounts themselves are more than one level higher than Gryffindor. Soon after adjusting their mentality, they quickly progressed. Two goals were scored, which finally gave the sad-looking Slytherin spectators some hope.

Magos had been keeping a close eye on Harry. He knew that there was a Bludger controlled by Dobby and wanted to hurt Harry. However, it was strange to him that the Bludger was normal until now. Could it be Dobby didn't come to cause trouble this time?

In fact, he was overthinking it. It was not that Dobby didn't come to cause trouble, but was frightened by the giant lion he made. Only then did he calm down and remember that he wanted to mess with Harry.

The Bludger was still out of control. Magos sighed and hoped that Harry would be fine. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dense rain blurred their vision, so after Harry tried hard to avoid the Bludgers several times, He didn't know where Harry had flown.

Wood and the others soon discovered that the Bludger was wrong, and the team suddenly became chaotic. Slytherin took the opportunity to score consecutive goals, and the gap gradually narrowed.

Harry dodged the Bludger again and flew to Wood.

"Harry, there's something wrong with that Bludger, right?" Fred shouted, stroking the rain on his face.

Harry nodded and shouted back, "Don't worry about me, I can dodge it, the gap between us has been closed."

"You're going to die, Harry, why do you care about the game at this time." George flew over and knocked away the Bludger that came again.

"Trust me." Harry looked at Wood and the others with firm eyes.

"You're crazy." Fred helped fight off the out-of-control Bludger. "Wood, are you also crazy with him?"

Wood was a little undecided, but under Harry's firm words again, he stared fiercely at the out-of-control Bludger.

"Keep playing, we have to believe in Harry." Then he looked at Harry, "Come on, Harry."

Harry nodded with a smile and pulled his broomstick straight towards the thundering clouds.An out-of-control Bludger followed.

Wood looked at the twins who were still a little dissatisfied.

"Remember. We are Gryffindor. We have nothing to fear. We also have to believe in Harry. Of course, the most important thing is that we have to be 150 points ahead of Slytherin. We can't let Harry worry anymore that we will fall behind."

The twins looked up unwillingly, roared and rushed towards the center of the competition.

Although Magos didn't know what happened to Harry, he could clearly see the Gryffindor team's renewed fighting spirit.He stood up and spoke a few words in Hagrid's ear.Hagrid turned back to look at him confused.

"Don't you want to try your best?"

"Okay, you succeeded in convincing me." Hagrid stood up.The huge body blocked all the spectators behind him, and they expressed dissatisfaction.

Hagrid took a deep breath.

"Lion King - Contempt!!!" The huge sound seemed to stop the dark clouds in the sky for a moment.

The Slytherin team was startled by the muffled sound. They cursed in their hearts why there were still messy things, and what did those four words mean?

Soon they knew the meaning of these words. The students in the Gryffindor viewing gallery, led by Hagrid, kept shouting these four words in unison.And the Gryffindor team also made rapid progress again, as if they had been beaten to death, and the score that was finally close was once again widened.

Flint looked at the ball being intercepted again and wished he could fly to Hagrid and tear his mouth out. He was now filled with those four words of magic sound.If it weren't for their new broomsticks.He has no confidence at all.But even so, the score was slowly but surely opening up. Now he could only pray that Malfoy didn't catch the Golden Snitch before the score difference was 150.

In the dark clouds, a frantic Harry was chasing the Golden Snitch with his Bludger among the thunder. Malfoy, whose face became increasingly pale, was stunned when he looked at the lightning that fell around him from time to time. Brother, it's just a game. Do you need to work so hard?But having said that, Malfoy didn't give up now. He gritted his teeth and stared at the golden snitch flying not far away without showing any signs of weakness.

"Headmaster, they are not in danger." At the teacher's desk, Lockhart looked at the two little wizards flying in the clouds and said to Dumbledore with some worry.

Dumbledore's face was also serious. He stared at the two people in the lightning group and ignored Lockhart. He wanted to ensure that he saved the two young wizards the moment they encountered danger.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lockhart sat down again, but no one knew whether his heart was as nonchalant as he appeared on the surface.
