Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 788 Quidditch Battle

The Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team had left their respective changing rooms and entered the court in neat lines. A strong smell of gunpowder overflowed on the court. Before the game started, the captains of both sides held each other's arms firmly. His hands seemed to want to crush each other's fingers.

Lee Jordan still acted as the commentator for the Quidditch match as usual. When introducing the two teams, his slightly biased statement attracted boos from the Slytherin students.

For a moment, Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded, but it was quickly drowned out by the roar of the crowd, kicking off this dirty game.

As Albert expected, the Quidditch pitch became a battlefield for both sides.

When Angelina successfully scored a goal and took the lead for the Gryffindor team, flying around the field with her fists waving, she was challenged by Marcus, the captain of Slytherin. The big man almost knocked Angelina from the sky. Knocked off the broom.

The screams of excitement below were replaced by anger, and waves of fouls came from the scarlet ocean.

Although Marcus claimed that he had not seen Angelina just now and apologized to her insincerely, he still could not escape the penalty.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Gryffindor scored again.

Of course, this matter could not be settled like this, and Gryffindor's revenge would soon come.

When Fred flew by Marcus by chance one time, he "accidentally" hit him on the back of the head with a bat, causing the still-smug guy to hit his head directly on the broomstick and get a bruise on his forehead. A red mark appeared and nosebleeds began.

Of course, Fred was punished by Madam Hooch for attacking a Slytherin player for no reason.

The game continued and the conflict on the court began to escalate.

"That guy is really worthless. What he did just now was definitely intentional."

Isobel, who was holding up her binoculars, looked a little annoyed, not only her, but also the girls on the court. Just now, Slytherin's suitor Montague actually reached out to pull Katie's hair, and even pretended to claim that he mistakenly thought her head was a ghost ball.

If Katie hadn't clamped the broomstick between her legs, she would have fallen off the broomstick.

"Even the audience discovered Montague's despicable methods and actually had the nerve to pull girls' hair." Li Jordan raised the microphone and shouted: "Girls, let us wish Montague never find a girl." friend."

"Jordan, can't you comment fairly?"

"I'm making a fair comment, Professor!" Lee Jordan quickly moved the microphone away to prevent Professor McGonagall from taking it away. "The girls also agree with my point of view."

"Then the commentator is your friend, he is such an interesting guy." Penello said to Albert with a smile, not because it was interesting to commentate on the game, but because it was interesting for Lee Jordan to explain how the two sides hurt each other.

The Slytherin team was dissatisfied with Gryffindor's points lead and began to resort to unscrupulous methods. Bol hit Alia with a stick in an attempt to stop her from scoring, claiming he thought Alia was a Bludger.

Not long after, Bol was retaliated by George. He received an elbow directly on the face and fell down in pain with his hands covering his face.

Of course, both sides were punished by Mrs. Huo Qi.

"They were basically fighting." Isobel said with a frown.

"I have accumulated a lot of grievances recently, so I said that we should have a fight before the game to let the opponent calm down, so as not to make the game very smelly." Albert was not surprised at all. He still clearly remembered that he had just arrived. In the school's first Quidditch match, both sides sent the other team's players off the field. The Slytherin team clearly had such a plan now.

From the beginning to now, most of the game time has been spent on penalty points. Gryffindor had the advantage when it came to penalty points, and Wood was better than the Slytherin goalkeeper in saving balls.

However, Mrs. Huo Qi was so angry at the actions of both parties that she held back to prevent everyone from getting out.

"Despicable, shameless and obscene..."

Lee Jordan jumped out of Professor McGonagall's reach and yelled into the microphone, "He actually attacked the goalkeeper."

Wood was really unlucky. His brilliant save caused him to be noticed by the Slytherin team's batter, and he was hit in the stomach and arm. Fortunately, he grabbed the tail of the broom with his right hand in time and did not fall off the broom.

Of course, even if he fell directly, Albert would use a spell to catch Wood, and in fact he did.

The whistle was blown again, and Mrs. Hooch cursed at the two Slytherin batters, but the punishment was only a light penalty.

Madam Pomfrey was also very angry at what both parties were doing.

There was too much tension between the two sides before the game. Albert suggested that Professor McGonagall ask Madam Pomfrey to sit on the court to avoid accidents during the game. Wood was the first beneficiary. He was given a bottle of potion. Finally, he put on Albert's broom again and returned to the court to continue the game.

As for Professor McGonagall, she no longer had the mind to care about Lee Jordan. She was also yelling angrily, obviously very angry at this dirty game.

After Wood's incident, the Gryffindor team became ferocious and seemed to no longer care about the outcome of the game.

Angelina directly hit someone with the ball, grabbed the ghost ball and stuck it directly in Marcus' face.

Fred and George even picked up sticks and beat everyone around, as if they were recreating the dangerous situation of the violent batter couple back then. The two of them soon focused on Slytherin's batter, using sticks as weapons, and attacked each other violently. As twin brothers, Fred and George had a better understanding of each other than each other and had the upper hand in this confrontation. .

As for the two bludgers, let them play by themselves!

Mrs. Huo Qi was so angry that she was shaking all over and wanted to blow the whistle to stop the riot, but she soon found that her whistle made no sound.

Not only the Quidditch field, but also the auditorium started to become noisy. Who knew who threw a big dung egg on the Slytherin seat, which immediately exploded the powder keg.

The two sides started throwing things at each other, and one person even took off his boots and threw them away. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, who were sandwiched between Gryffindor and Slytherin, simply suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Looking at the chaotic auditorium, Snape, who was sitting in the front row of the Slytherin team, had his face twisted in anger. Just now, several big dung eggs fell nearby, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of rotten eggs.

The professors also realized that if the situation got worse, if it was not stopped in time, it would probably turn into a group fight, which was obviously not what they wanted to see.

They all looked at Dumbledore to see how the headmaster planned to handle this matter.

Dumbledore was also surprised by the current chaotic situation. He knew that Slytherin and Gryffindor students often clashed, but he did not expect that the situation would be as bad as this.

There is absolutely no room for chaos in crowded areas.

"Quiet, the game is suspended!"

Professor Dumbledore's loud voice drowned out the noise above the stadium, and the noise gradually died down.

Mrs. Huo Qi also took the opportunity to blow her whistle, and the sharp whistle echoed over the court.

The members of both teams were severely punished by the angry Madam Hooch, and then asked to line up to go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment. Anyone who fights without authorization during this period will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

They were then given another lecture by an angry Madam Pomfrey.

In the chaotic stadium auditorium, the original riot gradually calmed down, and the professors walked through the stadium with a straight face to avoid chaos from happening again.

Professor McGonagall finally grabbed the microphone from Lee Jordan, gave everyone a scolding, and warned everyone that if they did not want to watch the game in peace, the school would cancel this year's Quidditch finals.

Well, the threat of canceling the Quidditch match did work, and both parties settled down. As for the seats between the two, they are deliberately separated by a long distance to form two distinct colors.

"I thought it was going to be a fight on the court."

"Albert, you are a prefect, how can you..."

"If chaos really breaks out, even the student union president won't be able to help." Albert interrupted with a smile.

After about half an hour, the game continued. This time everyone restrained a lot and no longer started directly. Even if they didn’t believe that they bumped into someone or accidentally slapped someone in the mouth with their swing, they would immediately show sincerity to each other. The apology is simply harmonious and friendly...it's strange.

The Bludger, which was originally ignored, has become the object of contention between the two sides. Using the Bludger to attack the opponent is undoubtedly the most gentlemanly approach at present.

Harry Potter was hit in the back by a Bludger and fell off his broom. Fortunately, it was only five or six feet off the ground at the time, otherwise it would have been quite choked.

"How dare you!" Professor McGonagall punched Malfoy angrily. While Harry was chasing the Golden Snitch, Malfoy clamped his broom between his legs, grabbed the tail of the Firebolt from behind, and tried to pull it away. Pull back.

Slytherin's batter took advantage of Harry's broom being slowed down and used Bludgers to focus on his lower back, trying to knock Harry out completely with one blow.

The stands were instantly filled with boos, jeers and angry shouts, and some people took the lead in throwing things on the court, cursing Slytherin for being despicable and shameless.

"I have never seen such a despicable guy," Li Jordan yelled into the microphone. "He actually plans to try to defeat Firebolt by hurting Harry. This guy should get off the court long ago."

"Oh, look, retribution is coming."

Malfoy, who was suspended in mid-air and gloating at Harry's miserable appearance, was also attacked by a Bludger. The Bludger hit Nimbus 2001's broomstick, causing Malfoy's broom to lose control and fall straight into the nearby auditorium, landing right in the Gryffindor area.

The enthusiastic audience gathered around Malfoy, not knowing what they were doing.

After a few seconds, the crowd dispersed again, and everyone saw Malfoy staggering up from the ground, his clothes covered with footprints.

"Look, how enthusiastic our audience is." Li Jordan shouted at the top of his voice: "They seem to be sending their blessings to Mr. Malfoy through some kind of ceremony."

Laughter instantly enveloped the entire stadium, and even Slytherin's dissatisfaction and anger were suppressed.

Malfoy returned to the field, Harry's injury was re-healed, and the game continued.

The Gryffindor team is currently leading by more than fifty points, thanks to the penalties imposed after the conflict between the two sides.

As long as Harry catches the Golden Snitch, they will be able to win the final game. This will undoubtedly make the Slytherin team nervous. They readjust their tactics and assign more people to hold Harry back to prevent him from actually catching the Golden Snitch. .

The game lasted for more than an hour, and the players were all scarred. The audience below was watching with great enthusiasm. Even Albert had to admit that today's Quidditch final was so exciting, with both sides going to extremes. , which really broke through his understanding of Quidditch. What was even more exaggerated was that such an action was not prohibited.

Oh, Mrs. Hooch's whistle seems to be not working well again.

The hustle and bustle on the field suddenly disappeared, and everyone could only see Malfoy in a dive. Harry was also accelerating. Although he was lagging behind, the Firebolt's acceleration was very strong and he was almost catching up with Malfoy.

A famous Slytherin student knocked Harry aside. Seeing that Malfoy was about to reach out to catch the Golden Snitch, he found that his broom was shaking violently.

Arya rushed out from the side and kicked Malfoy's broom, causing the Seeker to completely lose his pursuit of the Golden Snitch.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became weird, because after the two seekers left the field, they were replaced by two pursuers chasing the golden snitch.

Finally, Slytherin's pursuer Marcus successfully caught the Golden Snitch. When he raised his arms high, the Slytherin audience burst into loud cheers.

The Slytherin team caught the Golden Snitch, they caught the Golden Snitch.

"Oh my god, I really don't know how Slytherin picked the captain. Doesn't he know that except for the seeker, it is a foul for any player to touch or catch the Golden Snitch?" Lee Jordan's voice suddenly sounded louder. stand up.

The atmosphere on the court froze for a moment, and was soon replaced by a burst of laughter.

The expression on Marcus's face froze, and the golden snitch slipped from his loosened fingers, and finally spread its wings and slipped away.

After the penalty points, the game continued. The scores of the two sides began to widen the gap, and the competition for the Golden Snitch became more cruel.

The Gryffindor team no longer wanted to score. They adopted a one-to-one tactic to give Harry a chance to duel with Malfoy.

Facts have proved that this tactic is very effective.

After a while, the two started fighting for the golden snitch again.

This time, without the interference of others, Malfoy lost, and he lost miserably. The performance of the broom was completely crushed. Even if Malfoy finally threw down his broom and hung on Harry's broom, trying to interfere with him catching the Golden Snitch, it failed.

Harry was more decisive than Malfoy. He jumped forward and rolled a few times on the ground. When he got up, he raised the Golden Snitch in his palm.

As for Malfoy, he fell to the ground holding Harry's Firebolt and looked stupidly at Potter in front of him with his right hand raised high.

Lost.

He lost!
