Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 98 Blood Quidditch (2)

  The snow stopped, but the rain became heavier and heavier.

   There was a biting chill in the air, but it still failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the audience for Quidditch. People were cheering for the team they supported.

  In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, Albert and a few roommates were nestling here watching the game, and beside them sat a drenched Hagrid. The few people around were completely ignoring the icy rain and cheering for Gryffindor to score a goal.

   Albert lowered his monocular, pulled out his wand and used the water and fire spell on the lens to prevent the rain from blurring his vision.

  On the Quidditch pitch, the fierce confrontation continued. Slytherins never suffer, and they quickly seize the opportunity to fight back.

Chaser Montague, under the cover of his teammates, carried the ghost ball into the scoring area. Not far away, Bassman Locke cleverly seized the opportunity to hit the bludger flying towards himself to Gryffindor goalkeeper Wood. .

Wood was staring at Montague, trying to prevent the opponent from scoring, but he didn't notice a Bludger flying towards him. When he heard the sound of the Bludger breaking through the air, he hurriedly dodged and narrowly escaped the attack of Bludger .

  Before Wood fully recovered from the panic, Montague seized the opportunity, broke through Danny's blockade, grabbed the ghost ball and slammed it towards Wood's face.

   Waves of "fouls" resounded in areas other than Slytherin, and the heavy rain in the sky was faintly suppressed by this wave of sound.

  In the auditorium, Albert watched this scene and felt his face hurt. It must be uncomfortable to be covered in the face by the ghost ball.

   "Quidditch players are still a high-risk profession!"

   "What, what did you just say, I didn't hear clearly." Hagrid next to him raised his binoculars, stared straight at the sky, and asked loudly when he heard Albert's whisper.

   "It's nothing." Before Albert had time to feel emotional, he heard Fred next to him exclaim, "No, Wood is going to fall!"

  At this moment, most of the people in the auditorium stood up in horror, looking at Wood who was spiraling down, some screamed in horror, and some closed their eyes, for fear of seeing Wood's tragedy.

Wood, whose face was smeared with ghost **** by Montague, was still in a state of dizziness. He instinctively reached out to grab the broom, slid down the railing of the scoring ring, and fell on the lawn of the Quidditch field. The injury was not serious. It's too serious.

  Ms. Hooch immediately blew the whistle to announce the timeout of the game, and fell to Wood's side to check the goalkeeper's injury.

   Madam Pomfrey walked into the field with a gloomy face, annoyed. She used a spell to heal Wood's cheek injury, and poured him a bottle of potion, so that the Gryffindor goalkeeper could regain his strength and continue the game.

  However, this violent Quidditch game still annoyed Madam Pomfrey. The head nurse said that if anyone is injured, I will obediently go to the school hospital to lie down for a few days.

"Monty the Slytherin Seeker attacked the Gryffindor Keeper. Such despicable behavior was unheard of. Slytherin scored another goal. The score is now 80-50." , Gryffindor is leading by 30 points... Wait, the referee announced that Slytherin fouled, and the goal scored just now is invalid, and the current score between the two sides is 80 to 40." The commentator shouted excitedly: "Gryffindor has opened up a 40-point advantage. Currently, the seekers on both sides are looking for the Snitch. Who will catch the Snitch first? We will wait and see which team will win."

  Unfortunately, due to bad weather and poor visibility, it is not easy to find the Snitch, and the game is still going on.

  Wood recovered and gave great encouragement to the Gryffindor audience, and the sound of Gryffindor cheering echoed in the auditorium.

"Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle again, and the game continued. Let us wait and see how the Gryffindor team will counterattack." The Ravenclaw commentator was so excited that he completely forgot that he was commenting on a quiz. Geek game.

   "Kill the Slytherin team, kill Montague; kill the Slytherin team, kill Montague!" At this moment, such an unprecedented roar erupted from the audience seats in Gryffindor.

  The sound gave Albert an inexplicable illusion that he was actually watching a duel, not a Quidditch match.

   A few minutes later, the Gryffindor players really lived up to expectations and launched a new round of revenge against the Slytherin team. The target was the Chaser Montague who had just attacked Wood with a ghost ball.

  Mark and Irene are lovers, and they have a super tacit understanding. They just exchanged a look in mid-air, and Mark directly accelerated to hit the batter Locke. With the help of her boyfriend, Irene, the violent batsman, hits the Bludger out, and the target is Montague, who is surrounded by the three acrobatic brothers.

   Montague was blocked by three people, and thought that the three chasers next to him were going to attack him, but he didn't realize that the real lore came from the Bludger behind him.

"Oh my God, hit it, the Bludger hit Montague with the hard hitter Eileen, it hurts enough, hope he breaks a few more ribs...cough, I mean I hope he's okay!" The commentator coughed lightly, and quickly changed his words, "The referee didn't blow the whistle, and there is no doubt that there is no violation of the rules in this counterattack."

  Although the Slytherin team took the opportunity to score 10 points, their pursuer had already been injured and fell to the ground, so the loss outweighed the gain.

   "What's the matter, Madam Pomfrey didn't show up, could it be..." the commentator's tone was gloating, "Could it be that our head nurse doesn't like Slytherin players?"

  Montaire was forced to leave the field because Madam Pomfrey, who was in a state of dismay, had already returned to the school hospital. Without treatment, he was obviously unable to continue the game.

   Albert saw through the binoculars that Snape with a dark face pulled out his wand and turned into a stretcher, and asked several students to take Montague to the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.

   It is said that it took only a few seconds for Madam Pomfrey to connect Montague's broken ribs, but this unlucky guy obviously couldn't continue to play,

  According to the official rules formulated by the Department of Magical Sports and Sports: In the event of a disability, no other player shall be replaced.

   This means that Slytherin has one less Chaser.

  However, most of the Gryffindor audience are regretting, why isn't Marcus Flint, the Slytherin Seeker, who ends up on the field?

   However, this dirty Quidditch game has only just begun.

  Slytherin fell into a disadvantage because of one less player, and they began to blatantly attack Gryffindor players.

  A series of changes on the field made Albert dumbfounded. In the binoculars, the four batters flying on brooms under the rain were fighting together like swordsmen with bats in their hands.

  Fred and George beside them were muttering violent words like "hit him, yes, aim at his head... stab his eyes...".

  The Slytherin players went to surround Charlie together, preparing to send Charlie off the field first. Once Gryffindor loses the Seeker, it basically means losing the game.

In the end, a group of people on broomsticks fought together in the sky. The batters on both sides were the most lethal. They were attacking each other's players with their bats. Irene also knocked out Locke's bat, which is unlucky He was hit on the elbow by Irene, and before he recovered, he was kicked by Jack and almost fell off the broom.

  However, there are several Gryffindors who also suffered minor injuries.

  Furious Mrs. Hooch sent four batsmen off the field, although it was not in the rules, who let the four hit the hardest just now?

  In the words of Mrs. Hooch, staying on the court is simply a disgrace to Hogwarts.

  The original 15-person venue suddenly lost five people, and the huge stadium felt a lot empty all of a sudden.

  Even without the batsman, the Gryffindor Chasers still have a way. They seem to be performing a relay ceremony, taking the bat from the leaving batsman. At least, that's how Danny did it, the acrobat who was both a pursuer and a hitter.

   This time, they targeted Slytherin Seeker Marcus Flint.

  Charlie, Jack and Mario compress Marcus' flight space from three directions, squeezing the Seeker to the edge of the court. Then, they all made Mark's fake moves, waving their fists and feet and greeted each other unceremoniously.

   As for hitting the target?

   Sorry, that was a tactical error.

   Free throws, no one cares.

   As long as the opponent's Seeker can be killed, the victory of the game will naturally belong to Gryffindor.

"Charlie, didn't you say that the use of Mark's fake moves is forbidden?" Jack teased his captain, while waving his elbow at Marcus, "accidentally" hit the opponent's kidney with his elbow, and his own nose also He was knocked crooked by the fist that swung from the right.

   Behind, Danny, holding a ghost ball in one hand and a bat in the other, has already caught up. He was "chased" by two Slytherin suitors.

  Danny threw the ghost ball that got in the way to Jack, and he took the ball and greeted Marcus behind, preparing to drive him off the stage completely.

However, Danny didn't know that Jack, who had just caught the ghost ball, was the first to be unlucky. One of the two Slytherin suitors ran into him directly, and the other kicked him. Jack didn't respond yet When he came over, he was kicked off the broomstick. Fortunately, he still grabbed the flying broomstick with one hand and hit the auditorium with a heavy fall.

   Fortunately, he didn't fall into the Slytherin auditorium, otherwise he would have faced a large-scale brawl, and a group of spectators joined in to beat Jack.

   "Danny, you actually tricked me!" Jack clutched his injured waist, and couldn't help yelling.

   On the other side, the situation of Slytherin's Seeker was also a bit bad. Marcus, who was blocked by three people, was beaten violently by three people.

  The sharp whistle broke through the rain, and the furious Mrs. Hooch called the players from both sides to give them a hard training.

"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning?" Mrs. Huo Qi sprayed directly, spit on everyone's face, "Since you can't participate in the competition fairly and honestly, then come to the stage for me Hold on, and I'll give you one hour to have your respective alternates replace you for this game."

"What's going on?" Albert watched the players on both sides being scolded by Mrs. Huo Qi, and couldn't help frowning, because the game did not continue, and the two teams returned to their respective lounges. Bian also didn't know what happened.

  However, everyone will soon get the latest information.

"We just got the latest news. Due to the bad behavior of the two teams in the game, which seriously violated the various rules of the Quidditch game, all players were sentenced to leave the field." The commentator read the information he had just received in surprise, " Holy shit, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of a situation where all the teams are sent off. Both sides will have an hour to pick a new batch of players to replace them and continue the game."

   "Let's go to the locker room." The wet Fredella led George and Albert towards the locker room, his face full of excitement, "It's time for us to play!"

  Before Albert left, he glanced at the Slytherin Seeker. The unlucky guy was helped into the locker room, and Snape, who followed them, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face.

   "What the **** are you doing?"

   As soon as Albert and the others stepped into the locker room, they heard Professor McGonagall shouting. The dean angrily glanced at the players present.

"Sorry Professor, but as you can see, it was the Slytherin team who started the fight. They don't seem to intend to play with us fairly and honestly." As the Quidditch captain, Charlie immediately stood up to be scolded for everyone, very tough He caught Professor McGonagall's angry gaze: "So, I have to take other ways to ensure the safety of our team members. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. The victory of this game will definitely belong to us."

  Professor McGonagall was also taken aback, and then heard Charlie say: "Look, our alternate players have arrived."

"It seems, how many of us are you going to play?" Fred winked at Charlie and said, "The blow just now was really great, I saw Marcus being helped away .”

  Professor McGonagall immediately stared at Fred, who immediately shut up.

"Kyle, you will temporarily act as the goalkeeper to take over Wood's position. Only you have the experience of being a goalkeeper here." Charlie said to the freckled teenager. He is the team's substitute chaser, but now The situation is not too good.

"You two are batters, Albert is the Seeker, where is Angelina, isn't that girl here?" Charlie didn't see Angelina, so he said to Danny, "Go get that girl ,besides…"

  Gryffindor can quickly assemble a complete substitute team. Although it is far inferior to the regular players, everyone has the experience of playing together, and I believe it will not be worse than the Slytherin team.

"Come on Albert, you are our secret ace, don't let me down." Charlie reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "Whether we can win the game or not depends entirely on you. Snitch."

  The corner of Albert's mouth twitched. He knew that Charlie's saying that he was the secret trump card was just a way of encouragement, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

   However, Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, looking at the freshmen who replaced the players, and was a little puzzled by Charlie's arrangement.

"They are alternate players. They were supposed to participate in the selection of regular players next year to take over the positions of the regular players who left. Don't worry, they have all undergone good training." Charlie seemed to have guessed what Professor McGonagall wanted to say, and quickly explained road.

   "Well, since you have already decided!" Professor McGonagall looked at the other people and said, "I don't expect you to perform well, but at least don't cause me any trouble."
