Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 234 The final game

As expected, Tiera was called to the principal's office for a talk again.

It's just that this time Dumbledore didn't persuade Tiera to embrace her talent, but cared about Tiera's study, life and emotions like an ordinary old man.

It wasn't until Tiera finished eating two pieces of cake, three pieces of egg tarts, and drank a cup of milk tea that she couldn't eat anymore and had nothing to talk about, that Tiera left the principal's office under Dumbledore's increasingly loving eyes.

The days that followed were uneventful and the Easter holidays soon came.

But this year's Easter holiday is not relaxing, because the third grade students have never had so much homework.

Neville Longbottom seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and he wasn't the only one -

"Is this a holiday?" growled Seamus Finnigan in the common room one afternoon.

But no matter how busy others are, they can't compare to Hermione——

Even if she no longer has a divination class, she has taken more classes than anyone else. She is often the last one to leave the common room in the evening, and the first one to go to the library the next morning. After that divination class,

She already had shadows under her eyes like Lupine, but instead of crying like in the original work, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

And no matter how busy Hermione is, she will always have some free time to read the gift Tiera gave her.

Ron had already taken over the matters related to the Buckbeak case. In addition to the complicated homework, Ron was concentrating on reading the thick files. The titles of these files include: "The Hippogriff Psychological Manual", "

"Poultry or Monster", "Research on the Savagery of Hippogriffs", etc., further squeezed Ron's free time.

At the same time, Harry had to squeeze in time to do his homework after Quidditch practice every day, not to mention endless discussions on tactics with Wood.

The match between Gryffindor and Slytherin will be played on the first Saturday after Easter.

The Slytherin team is leading by no more than two hundred points in the tournament. If they want to win the trophy, they must score more than this number, which means——

The burden of scoring falls mainly on Harry, since catching the Golden Snitch earns him 150 points.

Compared with the original trio of deducted points, Tiera has much more free time. Although she has the same amount of homework and has to help Harry start each of his papers, Tiera's super memory is far more powerful than Harry's.

With the little wizard's understanding and automatic stylus, Tiera can face these so-called "heavy" tasks like a duck to water.

But Tiera still pretended to be quite busy to prevent Ron from pushing Buckbeak's case onto her.

After the Easter break, the entire academy was looking forward to the showdown between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Even Hermione, who didn't pay much attention to the outcome of the Quidditch game, began to say viciously to Harry -

"I will never forgive you if you can't beat Slytherin!"

In everyone's memory, there is no other time when the approaching competition is as full of gunpowder as this one. The tension between the two colleges has reached the point where it is about to break out.

There were several small fights in the corridor, which eventually developed into vicious fights——

To be precise, a fourth-year Gryffindor student had an argument with other Slytherin students in the corridor, and was beaten by the Slytherin students. As a result, Tiera happened to catch up with get out of class after class——

Tiera was so excited at that time, she picked up the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook in her hand and rushed forward, her momentum rising and falling, her movements flowing smoothly, and soon——

The few Slytherin students who participated in the fight went into the school hospital lying down and did not come out standing until three days later.

On the eve of the game, all daily activities in the Gryffindor common room stopped, and even Hermione put down her books——

"Come on, Harry!"

Hermione said.

"Don't be afraid, Harry, you have the Firebolt!" Tiera also cheered him up.

"Thank you... thank you..." Harry said, but his tone was still a little listless, and his stomach was cramping.

After it was time to turn off the lights, Harry took the calming potion that Tiera brewed specially for him——

After drinking the calming potion, Harry felt much better. His mind seemed to be much clearer, and he fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Harry slept until the next morning.

At breakfast that day, when Harry and the rest of the Gryffindor team entered the Great Hall, there was warm applause in the Great Hall.

The people at the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables were also applauding them.

There were boos at the Slytherin table.

"Ah, a child's trick." Hermione laughed contemptuously as she passed by the Slytherin table, but her hand tightly holding the book betrayed her heart——

Hermione was as nervous as the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Hermione's heart had never felt such a strong desire for the Gryffindor team to win.

Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, kept urging his players to eat more during breakfast, but he himself remained unmoved.

Then the players were rushed onto the court before anyone else had finished eating, so that the players could familiarize themselves with the conditions on the court.

When the team members left the auditorium, everyone applauded them again.

But obviously, this extremely obvious hedging trend between the two sides made this game full of tension from the beginning. Even when the game was in the middle, it had begun to develop into a Quidditch brawl——

It is basically unreliable who made the first move, but when the Quaffle flew to Gryffindor's side, Slytherin's Chaser Montague did not catch the Quaffle, but reached out to catch it.

into Katie's head.

Katie did somersaults in the air. Although she was still firmly on the broom, the ball fell.

Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded again, and she rose up to Montague and began shouting at him. A minute later, Katie passed the Slytherin keeper and gave them another penalty.

This penalty caused Slytherin to suffer a big loss and was surpassed by Gryffindor by 4 goals to 40 to 0.

But soon, when there was a fierce battle between the Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team, Harry saw the Golden Snitch!

It flashed near one of the Gryffindor goal posts, but Harry decided not to get it now because if Malfoy saw it, he would definitely get there before Harry did.

So Harry pretended to be suddenly focused, turned the head of the Firebolt and flew quickly towards Slytherin——

This strategy really worked.

Malfoy chased after him, apparently thinking that Harry saw the Snitch there, and rushed forward.

Harry pretended to be panicked and looked back -

While confirming the location of the Golden Snitch, Harry showed his panicked face to Malfoy.

Obviously, Malfoy bought the idea and rushed forward with all his strength. When Harry felt that Malfoy was almost done, he quickly used the superb performance of his Firebolt to turn around and kill Draco Malfoy.

Sliding past me lightly, then I went straight to the Golden Snitch——

Malfoy was stunned in the air for a few seconds, and then he became furious. Only then did he realize that he had been played by Harry, and angrily followed Harry back to kill him.

However, due to the huge difference in performance between Nimbus 2001 and Firebolt, Malfoy could only stay far behind Harry, and the distance continued to widen little by little.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Tiera, who was sitting in the stands, watched the whole process of Harry playing Malfoy.

"Haha, as expected, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black." Tiera said with a smile, "Harry's acting skills are actually so good now?"

This game quickly turned into the dirtiest game in the history of Hogwarts.

Slytherin was furious that Gryffindor had taken the lead so early.

He quickly grabbed the ball by hook or by crook. Bol hit Alia with the stick and said he thought she was a Bludger.

George retaliated by elbowing Bol in the face. Mrs. Hooch gave both teams penalty points. Wood made another successful save, and the score reached fifty to ten, with Gryffindor leading.

And Malfoy knew that he couldn't catch up with the Golden Snitch before Harry, so he started to take advantage of Harry -

Malfoy stretched out his hand, preparing to tug on the tail of Harry's Firebolt to prevent Harry from catching the Golden Snitch, but -

"Confusion."

Tiera stared at Malfoy's big golden head and thought——

For a moment, Draco Malfoy fell into a trance and let Harry and his Firebolt escape from his control.

When Draco Malfoy came to his senses, it was too late, because——

Harry had stopped his downward thrust and raised his hands high.

The stands exploded directly.

Harry was flying above the crowd, and there was a strange sound in his ears. He held the golden ball tightly, and the ball flapped its wings hopelessly between his fingers.

Harry catches the Golden Snitch and Gryffindor wins——

"Ah——————!" Hermione's sharp scream came to Tiera's ears——

She was so excited that she shouted wildly and jumped up and down while holding Tiera's arm——

Hermione seemed to want to vent all the grievances and fatigue she had suffered this semester through this method.

Ron was also very happy. He took Tiera's other arm and jumped up and down in the same way——

Oh yes, there was also his pet dog, which was so excited that it was spinning in circles chasing its own tail.
