Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 789 The Quidditch War

  The Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team had already left their locker rooms, and entered the stadium in neat lines. After the two sides entered the field, a strong smell of gunpowder gradually spread on the field. Before the game started, both Wood and Marcus held each other's hands hard, as if they wanted to pinch each other's fingers.

  Lee Jordan still acted as the commentator of 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 quickly drowned out in the roar of the crowd, officially kicking off the dirty ball game.

  As Albert expected, the Quidditch pitch became a battlefield.

When Angelina took the lead in scoring points for the Gryffindor team and was flying around the field with excited fists, she was targeted by the Slytherin captain Marcus, who almost knocked Angelina off the broom knocked down.

  The original screams of excitement were replaced by anger, and waves of "fouls" came from the scarlet sea.

  Although Marcus claimed that he didn't see Angelina just now and apologized to her insincerely, he still failed to escape the penalty.

  Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Gryffindor team scored again.

  Of course, it is impossible to let this matter go like this, and revenge will come soon.

Fred "accidentally" flew behind Marcus and "accidentally" knocked him on the back of the head with his bat, sending the still-smug guy headfirst into the broomstick handle with a bruise on his forehead. A red mark, and nosebleeds started.

  Fred was punished by Mrs. Hooch for attacking the Slytherin players for no reason.

  The game continued, and the conflict on the court began to escalate.

   "That guy is really disgusting, that move just now was definitely intentional."

  Isobel, who was holding binoculars, looked a little annoyed, not only her, but also the girls on the court. Just now, Slytherin's Chaser Montague reached out to pull Katie's hair, pretending to claim that he mistook her head for a ghost ball,

  If it wasn't for Katie's legs clamping on the broomstick, she would have fallen off the broomstick.

"Even the audience found out about Montagu's despicable means of pulling girls' hair." Li Qiaodan raised the microphone and shouted at the audience: "Girls, let's hope that Montagu never finds the girl." To girlfriend."

   "Jordan, can't you just comment?"

   "I'm making a fair comment, professor!" Lee Jordan hurriedly 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, isn't he, what an interesting guy." Penello smiled and said to Albert, not because the commentary game was interesting, but because Lee Jordan explained how the two sides hurt each other.

  The Slytherin team was very dissatisfied with the Gryffindor team's lead in points and began to take unscrupulous methods. Bol even hit Arya with a club in an attempt to prevent her from scoring a goal, claiming he thought Arya was a Bludger.

   It didn't take long for Bor to be retaliated by George. He received an elbow with his face, and fell down with his hands covering his face in pain.

   Of course, both sides were penalized by Mrs. Hooch.

   "They were just fighting." Isobel said with a frown.

"Recently, I have accumulated a lot of grievances, so I said that we should have a fight before the game, so that the two sides can eliminate the fire, so that the smell of gunpowder will not be too strong 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 off each other's players, and the Slytherins were clearly planning to do so now.

  From the beginning to the present, most of the game time has been spent on penalty points. The Gryffindor team has the advantage in terms of penalty points, and Wood is much better than the Slytherin goalkeeper in terms of saving the ball.

  However, Mrs. Huo Qi was so mad by the actions of both parties that she held back so that everyone didn't just leave.

   "Despicable, shameless..."

  Lee Jordan jumped out of Professor McGonagall's reach and yelled into the microphone, "He actually attacked the goalkeeper directly."

Wood was really unlucky. After saving several **** in a row, he was directly targeted by the batsman of the Slytherin team. He was hit in the stomach and arm. 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 yelled at the two Slytherin batsmen, but the penalty was only a light penalty.

   Madam Pomfrey was also very angry at the actions of both parties.

Before the game, the smell of gunpowder between Gryffindor and Slytherin was too strong. Albert suggested that Madam Pomfrey should sit on the court to avoid accidents during the game. Wood was the first beneficiary. After 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 cared about Lee Jordan, she was also yelling furiously, obviously also very angry by this dirty game.

  After Wood's incident, the Gryffindor team became brutal, as if they no longer cared about the outcome of the game.

  Angelina dribbled the ball directly into someone, grabbed the ghost ball and paste it on Marcus's face.

  Fred and George even picked up sticks and beat people around, as if recreating the power of the violent hitter couple back then. The two of them quickly set their eyes on the Slytherin batsman, took a stick as a weapon, and launched a fierce attack towards each other. As twin brothers, Fred and George obviously had a better understanding. prevailed.

   As for the two Bludgers, let them play by themselves!

  Mrs. Hooch was trembling with anger, and was about to blow the whistle to stop the riot, but she soon found that the whistle in her hand couldn't make a sound.

   Not only the Quidditch pitch, but also the auditorium began to make noise. It is unknown who threw a big dung egg into the Slytherin seating area, and immediately exploded the gunpowder barrel.

  The two sides began to throw things at each other, and some people even took off their boots and threw them away. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, who were sandwiched between Gryffindor and Slytherin, suffered a disaster without reason.

   Looking at the chaotic auditorium, Snape, who was sitting in the front row of the Slytherin team, twisted his face angrily. Just now, several large dung eggs fell nearby, and there was a disgusting smell of rotten eggs in the air.

  Professors also realize that the situation is getting worse. If it is not stopped in time, it is likely to turn into a group brawl. This kind of thing is obviously not what they want to see.

   They all looked at Dumbledore to see how the headmaster planned to deal with this matter.

  Dumbledore was also a little surprised by the current chaotic situation. He knew that Slytherin and Gryffindor students often clashed, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

   In crowded areas, there is absolutely no room for confusion.

   "Quiet, the game is suspended!"

  Professor Dumbledore's loud voice overwhelmed the noise above the stadium, and the noise gradually subsided.

  Mrs. Hooch also took the opportunity to blow the whistle, and the sharp whistle echoed over the court.

  Members of both teams were given a severe lesson by the angry Madam Hooch, and then asked to line up to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. Anyone who dares to fight without authorization during this period will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

   Then, they were taught a lesson by the angry Madam Pomfrey.

  In the chaotic auditorium of the stadium, the original riot gradually subsided, and the professors put on faces and walked back and forth between the auditorium to avoid chaos from happening again.

  Professor McGonagall finally snatched the microphone from Lee Jordan, scolded everyone severely, and warned everyone that if they didn't want to watch the game in peace, the school would cancel this year's Quidditch final.

   Well, the threat of canceling the Quidditch match did work, and both sides settled down. There is also a long piece of separation between the two, forming two distinct colors.

   "I thought the two sides would fight directly in the auditorium."

   "Albert, you are a prefect, how can you..."

   "If there is chaos, even the president of the student union will not be able to handle it." Albert interrupted with a smile.

About half an hour later, the game continued. This time, everyone restrained a lot and stopped doing it directly. Even if they accidentally bumped into someone or swiped their sticks, they would immediately give their sincerity to each other. His apology is simply harmonious and friendly... no wonder.

  The bludger, which was originally ignored, became the target of the two sides' contention. Using the bludger to attack the opponent is undoubtedly the most gentlemanly approach at present.

  Harry Potter was hit in the lower back by a Bludger and fell directly from the broom. Fortunately, it was only five or six feet above the ground, otherwise it would have been horrific.

"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall punched Malfoy angrily, and just as Harry was chasing the Snitch, Malfoy clamped his broom between his legs, grabbed the tail of the Firebolt from behind, and tried to throw it Pull back.

  The Slytherin batsman took advantage of Harry's broom being slowed down and used the Bludger to focus on his lower back, trying to knock Harry out with one blow.

   The stands were instantly filled with boos, jeers, and angry shouts, and someone took the lead in throwing things on the field, cursing Slytherin for being despicable.

   "I've never seen such a despicable guy," Lee Jordan yelled into the microphone. "He is going to try to beat the Firebolt by hurting Harry. This guy should be off the court."

   "Look, retribution is coming."

   Malfoy, who was originally suspended in mid-air and gloated at Harry's distressed appearance, was also attacked by a Bludger. The Bludger hit the broom handle of Nimbus 2001, causing Malfoy's broom to lose control, and it fell straight and skewed, plunging into the auditorium next to it, and landed just right in the Gryffindor area.

  The enthusiastic audience surrounded Malfoy, not knowing what they were doing.

   A few seconds later, the crowd dispersed again, and everyone saw Malfoy getting up from the ground staggeringly, his clothes were covered with footprints.

   "Look, how enthusiastic our audience is." Li Qiaodan shouted loudly: "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 field, Harry's injury was rehabilitated, and the game continued.

   At present, the Gryffindor team has led by more than 50 points, which is really thanks to the penalty points after the conflict between the two sides.

As long as Harry catches the Snitch, they will be able to win the final game. This undoubtedly made the Slytherin team tense and had to readjust their tactics, assigning more people to hold Harry back, lest he really catch the Snitch. Golden Snitch.

The game lasted for more than an hour, and the players were already covered with scars, but the audience below watched it very enthusiastically. Even Albert had to admit that today's Quidditch final was really exciting. , directly broke through his understanding of Quidditch, and what was even more exaggerated was that such a move was not banned.

   Oh, Mrs. Hooch doesn't seem to be doing her whistle well again.

  The hustle and bustle on the field suddenly disappeared, people only saw Malfoy diving, and Harry was also accelerating, although he was a little behind, but the Firebolt's acceleration was very strong, and he was almost catching up with Malfoy.

  A Slytherin player knocked Harry aside, and seeing that Malfoy was about to reach out to grab the Snitch, he found that his broom was shaking violently.

  Alia burst out from the side and kicked Malfoy's broom, making the Seeker completely lose his pursuit of the Snitch.

  The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird, because after the two Seekers left the field, it was actually replaced by two Chasers chasing the Snitch.

   Finally, Slytherin Chaser Marcus manages to catch the Snitch, and as he raises his arms aloft, the Slytherin audience erupts into a loud cheer.

   Team Slytherin caught the Snitch, they caught the Snitch.

"Oh my God, I really don't know how the Slytherin team chooses the captain. Doesn't he know that it is a foul for any player to touch or grab the Snitch except the Seeker?" Lee Jordan's voice suddenly sounded.

  The atmosphere on the court froze for an instant, and was quickly replaced by a burst of laughter.

  The expression on Marcus' face froze as the Snitch slipped from the tip of his loosened finger, spread its wings and slid away.

  After the penalty points, the game continued, the score gap between the two sides gradually widened, and the competition for the Snitch became more brutal.

  The Gryffindor team no longer wanted to score. They adopted a one-to-one tactic, leaving Harry with a chance to duel with Malfoy.

   Facts have proved that this tactic is very effective.

   After a while, the two began to compete for the Snitch again.

   This time, without the interference of other people, Malfoy lost, and he lost miserably, because the performance of the broom was completely crushed. Even if Malfoy threw down the broom in the end and threw himself on Harry's broom, trying to interfere with him catching the Snitch failed.

  Harry was more straightforward than Malfoy. He jumped forward and rolled a few times on the ground. When he got up, he raised the Snitch in his palm.

  As for Malfoy, he fell to the ground with Harry's Firebolt in his arms, and stared stupidly at the Potter who raised his right hand in front of him.

   lost.

   He lost!
