Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 288 An eye for an eye

  The Quidditch match between the Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team is gradually approaching, and the smell of gunpowder between the two colleges is getting stronger, and occasionally there will be small frictions. Some people have already been sent to the school hospital because of this.

  However, the current situation is very unfavorable to the Gryffindor team. Their team has just been reorganized, and the new players need more time to adapt and adjust.

   What's more, this time they are facing the Slytherin team, Charlie is a little worried about the safety of the players. He knew what a Slytherin team was. No matter how despicable the means were, those guys wanted to get the Quidditch trophy back.

  Last year, the Gryffindor team was able to defeat the Slytherin team. It was entirely due to the tenacity of the old players.

   "Don't stress, anyway...we already have the trophy!"

  At this moment, in the locker room, Charlie was giving his final mobilization speech. He probably also realized that he lacked confidence in his words, so he quickly added: "Also, remember to protect yourself during the game."

   "Don't worry, everyone knows who the Slytherin team is." Wood comforted.

   "The game hasn't started yet, don't make us seem to have lost the game." McLaghan was very dissatisfied with Charlie. He thought Charlie should have more confidence in his players.

   "Oh, of course." Charlie muttered, and walked out of the locker room first to meet the audience's applause.

   "What happened last year?"

   After the official players left the locker room, Katie finally couldn't help asking.

   McLaggen also pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, wondering why Charlie asked everyone to protect themselves.

   "You will know later, it is not a pleasant game." Albert greeted Aliya to the auditorium.

   "You don't seem to be optimistic about this game." Aliya asked aloud.

   "I guess there will be another fight." Albert muttered, "This time, our side does not have the advantage."

  Alia was speechless. The Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team had never played normally. Every match was like a gang fight, and the scene was once chaotic.

  The game started at the whistle.

   The Slytherin team really planned to avenge their shame, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Gryffindor team, scoring first amidst the boos of the audience.

   "Asshole, they must have done it on purpose." Katie shook her fist in the direction of the Slytherin players, she finally understood what Charlie meant, and Angelina was almost knocked off the broom by the other's suitor.

"The Slytherin team fouled first," Lee Jordan yelled, "they used dirty tricks and ended up scoring first...Look, Gryffindor fought back...yes, George poked him...oh no, The referee blows the whistle..."

  As soon as the game started, there was a fierce confrontation.

   "You're right, unless Charlie can catch the Snitch, Gryffindor's chances of winning are not high." Kenneth Toller said with a depressed face as he stood next to Albert.

   No way, there are far more people who bought the Slytherin team to win than Gryffindor. If Slytherin won, he would lose a lot of Galleons.

  The most annoying thing is that the **** Albert even bet on the Slytherin team for the first foul, and he actually offered very high odds for his money.

   "How many people bet on Slytherin to win?" Albert asked curiously.

   "Fifteen people."

   "You can't lose much, the rate of Slytherin is only 0.8 times."

   "You bet most of them." Kenneth Toller's tone was full of resentment, and he had already decided not to let Albert participate in the betting next time.

   "No way, I only bet five galleons." Albert asked puzzled, at most doubled.

"This is a small business." Kenneth Toller wanted to vomit blood. Although Gryffindor won last year, not many people think that Gryffindor has a high probability of winning. There are many new players this year .

   "Don't you think..."

   "I'll give you the principal, and I'll accompany you for three Galleons, so just let me go!" Kenneth Toller was about to give in, and was going to spend money to settle the matter privately.

   "Five Galleons." Albert said without thinking.

   "Okay." Kenneth Toller took out ten Galleons from his pocket, and handed it to Albert with a painful expression on his face. Katie and McLaggen next to him were stunned.

   "I remember that gambling is not allowed in school?"

   "When did you see me gambling?" Albert glanced at McLaggen and asked back.

   "I knew it, I bet too." Aliya murmured softly.

   "Don't be stupid." Albert glanced at Alia and sneered, "Do you think Kenneth Toller will spend money to solve it in private instead of playing tricks?"

   "This..." Aliya was stunned for a moment.

"Despicable, hope Fred is ok, the Slytherins have used despicable tactics again, maybe the referee should let the opposing batsman go." Lee Jordan shouted from the field, because Slytherin's bat The hand actually hit Fred's back hard with a stick, knocking him off the broom directly.

  Professor McGonagall didn't have the heart to stop Lee Jordan. She was also very angry at Slytherin's despicable methods. Although Gryffindor got the ghost ball, the score gap between the two sides has begun to widen at this moment.

  80:30.

  Slytherin temporarily leads, and it will not be easy for Gryffindor to regain the situation, unless their Seeker Charlie can catch the Golden Snitch as soon as possible to end the game.

   "How did we beat Slytherin House last year?" Katie couldn't help asking.

   "Last year, the team was full of senior students, and they were very good at dealing with the Slytherin team's offensive." Alicia explained, "After the game, many players from both sides were sent to the school hospital."

   "Last year, I remember Albert caught the Snitch and made a big upset, and I made a lot of money!" Kenneth Toller hoped that the Gryffindor team would beat the Slytherin team this time.

   "Last year, everyone was using Transylvania fake moves." Albert blinked and said: "Look... Fred and George did a good job."

   The corners of the mouths of the people next to him twitched, and Fred punched the face of the guy who sneaked up on him just now.

   However, his situation is not good, and he has been wagered by two batsmen, and the Slytherin Seeker next to him with the ghost ball is ready to sneak up on them with the ghost ball at any time.

  Seeing that the situation is not good, Charlie immediately asked to suspend the game to prevent the twins from being pinched.

   "They have tarnished this Quidditch match, look for a chance to overthrow them." Charlie waved his fists angrily and roared, "Let Slytherin understand that the Gryffindor team is not easy to bully."

   "It's overdue, as Albert said, an eye for an eye!" Fred and George shouted together.

   Albert, who had just walked outside the locker room, was speechless.

   "Did you really say such a thing?" Aliya asked with a strange face.

   "Do you believe what they say?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
