harry potter book of crimes

It's not always possible for one hit to affect two opposing players. After Harry and George both dodged the Bludger hit by Maka, George immediately dropped down, trying to avoid being hit by Ha as much as possible.

Lee blocks the view.

But even so, his broom speed was already far behind, and under the influence of this redundant behavior, he had to lag behind Harry and Ginny.

Maka's goal was obviously achieved. Because next, he only needed to use the Bludger to intercept again to slow down Harry's speed.

Without saying a word, he turned around and plummeted down - another Bludger was right below!

The rapid flight caused his robe to sway constantly, making a hunting sound. If you look at it from a distance, Maka at this moment is like a meteor, rushing straight down diagonally.

The moment it passed the Bludger, Maka picked up the broom handle and swung the bat at the same time. With a muffled "bang" sound, the Bludger suddenly shot up and flew directly in front of Harry.

go.

"Oh - the Firebolt is so fast!" George still had time to sigh at this moment. Obviously, he knew that he would definitely be unable to catch up this time.

Generally speaking, the batter has two tasks. In addition to hitting the Bludgers towards the opponent's Chasers, the Batter is to protect the Chasers in his team as much as possible to prevent them from being hit by the Bludgers.

In these two attacks, Maka faithfully performed the batter's previous task, which was to attack; while George has been trying to perform the latter's defensive task.

But it's a pity that due to Maka's clever obstruction, he was not able to catch up even once.

Of course, during the Quidditch game, Harry's senses were still very sharp. When he heard Maka's hitting sound, he was already quickly looking for the direction of the Bludger. And when he

When he saw the flight path of the Bludger clearly, he did not choose to avoid it again.

There was no way, Ginny's flying movements were very beautiful, and because she had slowed down due to evasion just now, he didn't have time to get rid of the opponent's entanglement in a short period of time.

What should I do if I can't hide? Harry thought of an action almost in the blink of an eye.

He would often see Chaser Angelina, the current captain of the Gryffindor team, practicing a rolling technical move, which could effectively reduce the chance of being hit by a Bludger while retaining her sprinting speed.

This technical move has a very interesting name - "Sloth Hugging a Tree Roll".

But Harry suddenly leaned down, lying on the broom, his hands and feet tightly wrapped around the broom handle. This action not only reduced his speed, but even increased slightly. He clung to the broom handle.

The broom also greatly reduces the area that can be hit, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, he is still holding the Quaffle in his hand!

This technical move has a lot of disadvantages for protecting the ball. For a moment, the red Quaffle was no longer covered by the body and was exposed to Ginny's sight.

The Bludger failed to hit Harry again, but whizzed past a few inches beside his waist and continued flying high into the sky.

"Not bad?" Makati pulled the broom handle and kept climbing. Seeing Harry's decisive response, Makati couldn't help but nodded, "It seems that the frequent training is not in vain. It's different if you have enthusiasm."

Under normal game conditions, even Maka couldn't have too much impact by hitting the ball. After all, the probability of hitting the Bludger is notoriously low. But he could see that George never took it seriously.

The intention of hitting the ball towards his sister was considered to be waterproof in disguise.

Things went as Maka expected. Harry rushed forward with all his heart, and Ginny chased hard, but in the end she still couldn't catch up with Harry's speed. After chasing and escaping, the two of them entered the scoring area in front of the knocker.

.

By the way, Ron's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat even though he hadn't moved much. It was winter? You can imagine how nervous he felt at the moment.

On the other hand, Harry has never practiced the technique of throwing and shooting, let alone breaking out and throwing the ball by himself. Even if he has always been the ace of the Gryffindor team, he is just a seeker.

Although he watches his teammates train a lot, Ron is also a Quidditch fan and has watched just as many games as Harry!

Even though his heart was trembling, Ron had to move.

He immediately followed a goalkeeper action in his memory and made a figure-eight circle between the two knockers. Because he couldn't see which ring hole Harry was going to shoot, he thought

You must do this yourself.

However, the technical moves in mind and executing them yourself are completely different things.

Just like what Maka and Ginny said at the beginning - for Quidditch, written knowledge is far less important than actual practice.

Ron's idea was correct, but the speed of the single "8" loop flying movement he was currently doing was far from the standard.

When he was flying towards the door knocker on the left again, Harry suddenly moved the broomstick to the right, and suddenly sprinted over again.

The moment Ron hurriedly tried to turn around, Harry had already thrown the Quaffle towards the door knocker on the right. The ball was slightly deflected, but after hitting the inside of the door knocker, it still passed.

"Ten points Harry!"

Luna, who was watching below, reported the score in time when she saw it. It could be seen that she was also very excited, waving her arms below, and her long pale golden hair was shining in the sun.

It was shaking, reflecting a soft light.

Maka didn't bother to congratulate Harry, because he was looking at Luna happily! It would be great if it could make her happy. He didn't care about winning or losing from the beginning.

This was a small Quidditch match, but it was also a time for friends to laugh together. He didn't want to show off any personal heroism at this time.

Besides, Luna won’t do that either, right?

Harry above immediately grinned as he scored a goal. He laughed as he flew towards the falling Quaffle, spun around to catch it, and then flew towards Ron.

Ginny behind him also stopped at this time, looking a little annoyed.

"Hey, Ron!" Harry said, "I have to say that your choice just now is very correct, but I think you have to fly faster."

Ron quickly caught the ball Harry threw to him, but just sighed helplessly.

"I also tried, but I just can't fly fast. I feel like if I go too fast, I won't be able to turn in time!" He asked with some distress, "How can I turn around faster?"

"I think you should ask Maka," Harry couldn't help but admire, "He is the fastest turning player among the players I have ever seen! Maka——"

Hearing Harry calling her name, Maka finally looked away from Luna, spun around and continued to climb up.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he flew.

"How did you turn around?" Harry was also very curious, "I have never seen anyone faster than you, and the arc can be so small!"

"Don't you see?" Maka said strangely.

"I only saw that you turned sideways when you turned around, but I didn't understand." Harry immediately shook his head, "When you turned around, you always blocked my view. I could only see your back!"

"Really?" Maka thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh! You are usually behind me when I turn around, so no wonder you can't see..."

He paused, then turned over and made a movement, using the crook of his right leg to hang on the broom handle, and then while grabbing the front end of the broom with his left hand, he turned his whole body sideways, almost forming a nine-point angle with the broom.

Ten degrees.

"Can you see clearly this time?" Maka hung on the broom and maintained the movement. "Rely on your own weight to fall in the direction you want to turn. Grab the hand of the broom and pull it back at the same time, and you can quickly turn it.

Carry out steering. However, when the speed is very fast, it is not easy to control the balance——"

"Oh - this is great! How did you come up with it?" Harry seemed to understand the principle, he nodded repeatedly, "I have to practice hard, then I will have another trump card! This

Especially useful for a Seeker!"

"I didn't come up with this. How could I have time to think about the technical moves of Quidditch?" Maca shook his head and said, "This is the stunt of Nico Nenad, the batsman of the Romanian national team. It's just that

Because I haven’t had time to use it a few times, not many people know about it.”

"Not in time?" Harry said in surprise.

"Yeah! I didn't have time..." Maka shrugged, "Don't you remember the 'Killer Forest Attack' in the 1809 Quidditch World Cup? I think it was quite famous?"

Seeing that no one seemed to be very clear about it, and only Ginny seemed to have a vague impression, Maka explained the general situation in a funny way.

"...In that game, Nenad hired a large number of dark wizards to cast spells on the entire forest around the stadium." He briefly described, "When the situation was unfavorable to the Romanian opponent, Nenad will

The Bludger hit the forest, causing the trees to riot!"

"Nenad himself died?" Ron and Harry were stunned.

"Yes, that's it!" Maka smiled and said, "The Quidditch match turned into a battle between the wizard and the big tree, which lasted for seven hours - Nenad, who was the culprit of the incident, was killed by a violent tree.

The spruce trees were beaten to death.”

"The consequences of not obeying the rules." Ginny nodded repeatedly, "But it sounds really scary - ordinary trees can also kill people!"

"Okay, I've finished telling the allusions, let's continue now! Everyone go back to their seats, go quickly!" Maka urged, "I don't have many opportunities to play Quidditch with you, you guys

You have to let me play a little longer!"

Soon, after everyone was in their places again, Ron threw the Quaffle to Ginny and started the next round of attack.
