Starting Over at Hogwarts

Wesson said it was very easy.

In fact Hufflepuff was having a really tough time.

Even though Wesson mentioned to Grindelwald that he would lead the Hufflepuff Quidditch team to the final victory, in fact he only led Cedric to fight alone.

The entire Hufflepuff team collapsed.

Fortunately, Cedric showed his bravery and caught the Golden Snitch first, finally allowing them to win with a score of 210:120. Hufflepuff won the Quidditch Cup again after many years!

While a group of Hufflepuff students were celebrating, on the Durmstrang audience stage, Grindelwald casually taught his students: "Be gentle with them..."

"Yes, principal."

The Durmstrang Quidditch players immediately agreed.

Compared with the respect Dumbledore has in the hearts of the students at Hogwarts, the respect Grindelwald deserves in the hearts of the Durmstrang students.

Of course.

Durmstrang's Quidditch players listened to Grindelwald.

This group of players had watched the Quidditch match for three days and had long understood the weaknesses of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. The only one that could pose a threat to them was the gray-haired Chaser.

first.

Victory can never be given up.

All that's left is how to win beautifully.

"Just take out the Chaser."

"Others pose no threat to us..."

"That's right, they don't even have basic tactics. If we get rid of that little gray-haired chaser, our victory will be certain..."

"Krum, you should be able to grab the Golden Snitch earlier than that little guy, right?"

"Just leave it to me."

Klum is very confident about this.

As a sophomore who could be directly spotted by the national Quidditch team, Krum was very confident in his skills, but he did have the qualifications.

The corners of Grindelwald's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he glanced at a few students discussing tactics with vague confusion. Is there something wrong with these students?

You actually chose to provoke the most dangerous one?

All right.

It's just a small thing.

If these little guys win, it will give him a little more face in front of Dumbledore; if these little guys lose, then they can study dark magic honestly in school.

have to say.

This friendly match is very attractive.

Due to the raging of the Dark Lord Peter during the summer vacation, wizards did not dare to leave their homes easily to watch the Quidditch World Cup. In addition, the Scottish team lost to the Canadian team in the Quidditch World Cup final, which made many wizards who love Quidditch It's a bit regretful.

Now they have a big game!

A friendly Quidditch match between Durmstrang and Hogwarts!

Just the gimmick of this school competition has aroused the interest of many people, especially since most wizards in the magical world come from these two schools!

Minister Cornelius Fudge of the British Ministry of Magic also planned to use this opportunity to divert attention, and personally arranged for the Sports Department to help with preparations, also to confirm that their negotiations with Grindelwald were beneficial!

certainly.

Minister Cornelius Fudge himself will not be attending.

After all, Minister Fudge didn't really want to meet the Dark Lord Grindelwald.

In comparison, the other wizards had nothing to care about. The entire British wizarding community was discussing the two sides of the friendly match.

The main problem is…

The strength of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

In the past few years, everyone who likes Quidditch knows that Hufflepuff's Quidditch team is not as good as before, and has been repeatedly beaten by several teams from other houses.

This kind of team…

Is it really possible to beat Durmstrang?

Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the Daily Prophet who was well-informed in the past, did not publish relevant news reports because Rita Skeeter was afraid of meeting Grindelwald...

Last Christmas, Rita Skeeter's wand was taken away by Grindelwald, which made her hate and fear Grindelwald... The problem is that Rita Skeeter also likes to criticize Hogwart tz and the British Ministry of Magic, and she was unwilling to praise the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve.

Hogwarts Great Hall.

Due to the upcoming game, the Hufflepuff Quidditch team did not have a holiday, plus some other students who did not choose to go home for the holidays, as well as the visiting Durmstrang Quidditch team.

On Christmas Eve this year, Hogwarts finally held a lively banquet. Everyone who participated in the banquet was very happy, because someone might be unhappy tomorrow...

"You will lose tomorrow."

A Durmstrang Quidditch beater walked into the Hufflepuff dining area and quite openly challenged the entire Hufflepuff House.

After finishing speaking, he stood beside Wesson and patted the second-year student's shoulder in a friendly manner: "But we will be gentler..."

"..."

Wesen's forehead jumped.

Is this Grindelwald's warning to his students?

Just when Wesson couldn't help but look at Grindelwald, Grindelwald was sitting on a seat, slowly holding up a glass of red wine, and seemed to be very satisfied with this Christmas Eve.

indeed.

Compared to last year, Grindelwald has had a very good year this year.

"Okay, thank you."

Wesson shook his head helplessly and responded to the innocent Durmstrang student standing next to him: "I will try my best to be gentle..."

However.

The truth is often not what people want.

The official Quidditch venue of the British League.

This arena was already densely packed with spectators at noon on Christmas Day. Many spectators were holding Hufflepuff’s Badger Court flags in their hands. It seemed that these people were Hufflepuff spectators…

Many of them were waving Hogwarts school flags.

Although many people had no hope for Hufflepuff House at the beginning of the competition, they still believed that a miracle might happen in Hufflepuff House.

Maybe Durmstrang Academy's performance will be even worse?

Amos Diggory stood in the middle of a group of people, proudly boasting about his son to his friends: "Cedric is the Seeker of Hufflepuff College... He defeated Gran Findor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw!”

Anyone who likes Quidditch is very aware of the importance of a seeker. Being able to serve as a seeker is definitely the best in terms of eyesight and flying skills!

When the wizards sitting next to Amos Diggory heard this, they would inevitably follow Amos Diggory's words and praise his children, because it is not easy for any seeker.

Um.

Except for the Hufflepuff Seeker.

It is said that last year Hufflepuff's last seeker failed to catch the Golden Snitch when he should have caught it, and caught the Golden Snitch when he shouldn't have, which directly caused their Quidditch team to lose the game...

I hope Cedric, the new Seeker, can do well!

"This is a friendly match."

As the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore personally stood on the stage and spoke about the significance of the game: "This game symbolizes the everlasting friendship between Hogwarts and Durmstrang..."

"I hope that after this game, the Quidditch players from the two schools will become friends from rivals and become one of the bridges of communication between the two schools..."

"In order to make this friendly match more exciting, Gellert Grindelwald, the principal of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I decided to add a small prize... The winning team in this game will receive a small prize for each student. A phoenix feather and a bottle of dragon blood materials."

"..."

The breathing of a group of students immediately became heavy.

Except for Wesson, a student who doesn't care much about the materials, the other students can more or less realize the preciousness of these materials!

As the game time came, when Dumbledore announced the start of the game, two Quidditch teams wearing different school uniforms flew into the field on broomsticks!

The entire auditorium immediately burst into cheers as the most exciting Quidditch match between students kicked off!

As the Director of Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic personally kicked off the ball, members of the two teams quickly began to pounce on each other's goals. Wesson's flying speed was extremely fast and he was the first to grab the Quaffle!

Mainly because he knows the level of his players...

Hufflepuff players have always performed stably. No matter how strong the opponent is, almost all other players can score three goals; no matter how weak the opponent is, most of the players can only score three goals!

Just as Wesson rode his flying broom and quickly passed through the defense of several Durmstrang players, raising the Quaffle and about to smash it into the goal, a Bludger suddenly flew towards him!

This is not a Hogwarts Bludger!

The magic cast on the Bludgers for official matches is extremely powerful!

However, he dodged the flying Bludger by tilting his head, and when he was about to let go of the Quaffle in his hand, a Durmstrang batter swung his big stick and smashed the Bludger over again!

This blow almost hit Wesen's head!

Good guy!

Is this Durmstrang's violent Quidditch?

Wesson looked around suddenly and saw a Durmstrang student holding a big stick on his shoulder and giving him a mocking smile!

Several other Durmstrang students stopped in front of him!

"..."

Wesen couldn't help but twitch in the corners of his eyes.

next moment!

Wesson rode a flying broom and drew an arc directly, avoiding the defense line of this group of students. His figure quickly flew upwards, aiming directly at Durmstrang's seeker!

"What does he want to do?"

"Want to get past us?"

A group of Durmstrang students haven't figured out the situation yet!

The Quaffle in Wesson's hand went straight and hit Durmstrang's seeker Krum. The blow made Krum break into a cold sweat and he quickly climbed up to avoid it!

fortunately…

Krum has experienced this kind of shock before.

Durmstrang's violent Quidditch play sometimes went crazy, and he would directly attack the opponent's seeker. This kind of direct attack on the seeker from the beginning was really rare!

However…

This is just the beginning.

The entire competition venue immediately fell into chaos!

"Attack at will!"

"Chaser, get the Quaffle!"

Durmstrang's batters began to attack the Hufflepuff players unscrupulously, and even Cedric almost suffered a disaster, but this did not prevent them from continuing to fight for the ball!

have to say…

This group of Durmstrang players are very good at Quidditch.

Even without these methods, he was still much stronger than the Hufflepuff players. Three Hufflepuff players were quickly knocked off their brooms, including Cedric the Seeker.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic had already responded to this, and a softening spell was cast on the ground. They did not dare to let anything happen to these students in this game, but they were not allowed to fight anymore.

"Looks like I'm going to win."

Grindelwald chuckled and glanced at Dumbledore beside him: "I originally ordered them to be gentler..."

"It feels a little bad."

Dumbledore shook his head unhappily.

As Cedric the Seeker was besieged by several Durmstrang students, the winner of this game was almost certain, but before the Snitch was caught...

It's not over yet.

Two hours later.

Both Grindelwald and Dumbledore looked a little weird.

The entire audience in the stadium was also in a state of weirdness. They had never seen this kind of game, or in other words, this kind of game that had no Quidditch spirit at all.

Although the score on the field was 160 to 10, Durmstrang had a big advantage, and the Hufflepuff team even scored a lucky goal at one point.

However…

No one thought Hufflepuff would lose.

Because of that Quaffle that Hufflepuff scored...

It was thrown in when someone knocked the goalkeeper off the field.

On the entire Quidditch field, there was only one gray-haired boy from Hufflepuff House, riding his own Nimbus 1700 flying broomstick, flying lonely on the field...
