harry potter book of crimes

It’s not uncommon for student players to perform professional-level moves in an intramural competition, such as Hogwarts’ Magical Seeker, Harry’s father James Potter, and Durmstrang’s

Outstanding student and current Seeker of the Bulgarian national team, Victor Krum.

Another example is the "point-scoring maniac" Maka McClain, who has no nostalgia for the Quidditch field, but his name is still passed down among the four houses of Hogwarts.

However, at least in this season of the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup, no one expected that kind of player to appear on the field. Not even Harry Potter, whose technical level is always above the average.

People think he is the kind of Quidditch rookie who can be compared with professional players.

However, as the captain and veteran of Ravenclaw, Chaser Bradley Davis, who was about to graduate, broke out in such a final that was stuck in a tug of war for no reason!

At this moment, with Davis's continuous breakthroughs and forced speed increase, the situation in front of the Gryffindor team has reached the most critical moment. Ginny, the rookie goalkeeper who played well, blocked the right door knocker in time.

Two feet in front of her was Davis, who was rushing towards her. Pitching and saving had almost become the routine of this offense and defense.

But at such an urgent opportunity, Davis, like a real eagle, suddenly picked up the broomstick and spun around, somersaulting and flying backwards, drawing a short streak towards the middle door.

of arc.

You know, including the previous change of direction from the center goal to the right knocker, this is already his second turning action. Two consecutive changes of direction like this under high-speed sprinting are very harmful to the player's body and skills, and even to the opponent.

The performance and material of the broom are both a great test.

"It's the Carrot double fold! Central!"

Commentator Li was the first to react. He roared very quickly, showing his professional potential as a game commentator.

Even though Ginny was paying enough attention and her sense of smell on the field was good enough, Davis's surprise attack really caught her off guard. When she suddenly realized that her eyes were empty, Davis had already turned over and crossed over.

It hit the top of her head and flew upward to the high altitude in front and left in a spinning motion.

She immediately noticed that Davis had completely lost the angle of the right knocker - he once again changed his scoring target to a high mid-wicket!

Being aware of it does not mean that it can be handled. Davis's first change of direction caused Ginny to rush to the lower right at the moment. If she wanted to learn Davis's second change of direction, the angle she needed to change would be

Bigger than Davis's!

In high-speed Quidditch, turning speed is measured by the angle of the flight arc, and at the moment, Davis has clearly taken the lead.

"Is it too late to turn around and defend the center line now?"

In such an urgent situation, thinking itself has become a waste of time. It may sound like a waste of words, but in fact it only lasts in the blink of an eye. Ginny only had time to have one thought flash through her mind.

Her body, which she had exercised repeatedly during training, moved in the next moment!

Yes, when having breakfast in the auditorium this morning, she mentioned to Harry that she had "spended a lot of effort to prepare" for her debut in the arena. But even she herself did not expect that she would suddenly change...

In the midst of an intense actual battle, a certain "trick" that was originally planned to be used deliberately was eventually used subconsciously.

It was at that second that, in front of everyone's eyes, Ginny fell down as if she was about to fall off the broom, hanging in the air with only the strength of her legs and grip. And then, when she

Using her own weight to forcefully pull back the light wheel 2000, and turning 180 degrees in an arc smaller than Davis's, she actually rushed back to the middle door ring first and last.

In the eyes of the audience, the scene in front of the door knocker at this moment is quite interesting - Davis is hanging upside down on his broom, the Quaffle is flying straight towards the middle door knocker; while Ginny is rushing towards the door.

He was half hanging in the air, stretching his body and narrowly sealing the door knocker with one hand.

"She caught it!" When Ginny's gloved hand grasped the Quaffle, the narrator Li stood up suddenly. "She caught it! Ginny Weasley! She used a miracle.

A sudden turn caught up with Davis’ shot! The ball didn’t go in!”

Davis from Ravenclaw flew past Ginny. When he passed by Ginny, he took a deep look at Ginny, with an extremely shocked look in his eyes.

In the second half of the Gryffindor team, the two battering brothers Fred and George looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Maka's steering skills—" George shrugged.

"—became Ginny's craft!" Fred answered tacitly.

After that, the two of them laughed and high-fived each other, as if they were proud of the ball they had guarded.

As for Harry, who was still struggling with Qiu at low altitude, he naturally saw that wonderful moment. Although his duties did not allow him to fly over to congratulate Ginny, he still waved his arms at her excitedly.

"Congratulations on adding an outstanding player to your team." Qiu smiled and congratulated.

"Oh, yes!" Harry nodded repeatedly, "I really didn't expect Ginny to be able to use this skill in the competition. After all, it is difficult - really difficult!"

Over at the staff table, Maka chuckled and clapped along with everyone else. Yes, this was exactly the move he taught Ginny himself in the orchard behind the Weasley house. Think of Ginny

Of course he was very happy for Ginny that she could make this turning skill appear in official competitions so quickly.

"It's really good," he said while clapping his hands. "Being able to use it almost subconsciously proves that she has practiced it many times."

However, just as Maka was savoring the rare experience of "education paying off," a small murmur mixed in with the cheers and applause sneaked into his ears.

"That young lady is very powerful, but what does this have to do with you? Why do you make it sound like it's all your fault..."

Maka tilted her head in a funny way and glanced at the other side of the fat young master's huge body that occupied two seats. But she saw little Sarah holding her small satchel and looking at the stadium intently, as if she had just spoken.

She was not the one who was running around at all.

"Miss Hohenheim, was it you who spoke just now?" Maka raised her eyebrows and asked in a pretentious manner.

On the other side, Sarah completely ignored what he meant, pursed her lips and didn’t even move her neck. But when Maka smiled at the fat young master who looked quite embarrassed, and leaned back on the chair, that crisp

The voice rang again.

"Some people just like to be sentimental. Maybe they are talking about others?"

Ever since the last sneak attack on Maka failed and instead left her in a deadlock, the talented girl from the Hohenheim family has become even colder towards Maka. However, to say that she was trying to push him away like today was almost awkward, this is really

An unprecedented first time.

A girl's thoughts are always difficult to predict, and a talented girl like little Sarah is even more confusing. Although Maka doesn't care about her messy behavior, she has no idea why she suddenly came here.

After a move, I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Of course, no matter how talented a child is, he is still a child after all. Maybe the little girl was too depressed by him, and it was just her natural instinct that she wanted to regain some ground?

Only this time, Maka guessed wrong.

Sarah saw that Maka didn't take her words seriously. When the surroundings calmed down a little and the Quidditch players on the field started running back and forth again, she blinked thoughtfully.

.

"Brother Noah," she thought for a while, then suddenly tugged on the fat man's sleeve, seemingly casually, "after lunch, why don't you go for a walk with Sarah to the lake, okay?"

The fat young master immediately nodded as if out of conditioned reflex.

"Take a walk, oh! Dear sister, of course it's okay..."

Not to mention these small actions in the stands, the game is still going on in the stadium.

Ginny's extraordinary performance blocked an almost certain goal for Gryffindor, but this was not enough to have a big impact on the outcome of the final. However, her outstanding skill directly eliminated the

Teammates' concerns about his abilities.

The unfettered Gryffindor team is undoubtedly excellent. In terms of overall strength, Ravenclaw is indeed a few points behind them. When the three chasers headed by captain Angelina threw

After starting the previous blocking strategy and launching a more active attack, Ravenclaw's defensive shortcomings in the backcourt gradually became apparent.

Unlike Hufflepuff, who is more adept at defense, the Eagles are no worse offensively than Gryffindor and Slytherin, but being blindly aggressive will inevitably lead to emptiness in the defense.

After several exchanges of offense and defense, Ginny defended the knocker twice more, but Ravenclaw had already scored three goals by Angelina and the others.

The score began to gradually expand.

"...Oh! Wait, what happened there?" Just as Angelina organized a new round of attack, the commentator Li exclaimed and drew the attention of the little wizards, "Yes

Potter! He made a climbing action again, this time he didn't use swing tactics, it was a straight line - has he already found the Golden Snitch?"

Just as Li said, Harry, who was flying half a body before Qiu's watch, suddenly raised his body, left the low-altitude area, and began to climb to high altitude at high speed. The excellent acceleration of the Firebolt allowed him to suddenly pull Qiu back again.

A position has been left behind, but no one has yet discovered the golden light that represents the snitch.

Everyone in the stands looked at Harry's back expectantly or hesitantly, only Maka frowned slightly.
