"foul."

Charlie was nearly knocked off his broom while chasing the Golden Snitch.

"Sorry, I didn't see him!" Flint's face showed no apology. As soon as he finished speaking, a Bludger flew over here, and Fred and George raised their sticks and surrounded Flint.

The game really turned dirty, and even the spectators on the field were not surprised. Every year, the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin always caused a lot of trouble.

However, Charlie's tough attitude exceeded everyone's expectations.

Once the Gryffindor players were attacked, they would fight back immediately and the game began to turn into a brawl.

Mrs. Rolanda Hodge, who was acting as the referee, was so angry that she was shaking all over. She kept blowing the whistle and called the two teams over to give them a severe scolding.

Charlie admitted his mistake and apologized immediately, but he himself said that his players had not yet fully mastered the Transylvanian fake move, which led to frequent accidents.

If it was last year, before they won the Quidditch trophy, Charlie might have considered these issues. However, their trophy was forcibly won, which directly changed Charlie's attitude towards the Slytherin team.

If the other team doesn't intend to follow the rules of Quidditch, then our team won't intend to follow the rules either. Watching players being bullied without fighting back is definitely not Charlie's style.

Players from both teams kept breaking the rules, and Madam Hooch's whistle and angry shouts echoed throughout the stadium.

Commentator Lee Jordan also decisively favored the Gryffindor team and strongly criticized the Slytherin team because they were the first to break the rules, which led to the chaos of the game.

However, as long as you don't cross a certain line, the fight is still a Quidditch game, but players on both sides are constantly breaking the rules.

Similar fights have occurred more than once in international Quidditch competitions, and there have even been cases of arrows being shot at opponents with wands, not to mention that this was just a simple school match.

As the game entered the middle stage, Gryffindor was the first to lose members, after Angelina was hit by the Slytherin team and sent off the field.

At this moment, the scores of the two sides have completely widened the gap, 140:40, and Gryffindor is temporarily at a disadvantage.

"Is Angelina okay?" Fred asked worriedly.

"Mild concussion." Charlie's face looked ugly.

"Charlie, if we can't catch the Golden Snitch as soon as possible, the opponent will soon be far ahead of us in points. No matter who catches the Golden Snitch, we are doomed to lose the game!" Wood's face was full of worry, but he still did not forget to remind him.

No one wants to lose the game, and Wood is no exception.

"We don't have to care about winning or losing the game, just teach those guys a lesson." George said, waving his fist.

"Revenge for Angelina!" Fred added. The two of them were just besieging the Slytherin team's Seeker and were ready to send him off the stage first.

Due to the lack of a pursuer, it is difficult for Gryffindor to regain points. Catching the Golden Snitch is their only way to win at present.

"But... is this really a good idea?" Wood looked at Charlie uneasily and suddenly asked, "Charlie, are you planning to join a professional Quidditch team after graduation? I remember..."

"No, I don't plan to join a professional team. I've talked to Professor Kettlebery, and he will give me a letter of introduction." Charlie shook his head. He rejected the invitation of the England Quidditch team and prepared to study dragons.

Charlie is one of the few students who attends the Care of Magical Creatures advanced class, and has a good relationship with Professor Kettleburt and Hagrid.

In fact, Wood was worried that Charlie's behavior would affect his reputation in the future when he joined a professional team, but since Charlie had no intention of joining a professional team, he did not object to Charlie's decision.

The game lasted for two hours and ended with Gryffindor losing 310:70.

Afterwards, most of the players from both sides were sent to the school hospital.

Professor McGonagall was so angry that she was shaking all over. She called Charlie over and gave him a severe scolding, but Charlie said that it was not their fault. The Slytherin team started it first and were very aggressive.

Moreover, both parties merely violated the rules of the game, that's all, it's not a big deal!

"It's against the rules of the game. There are hundreds of fouls in one game, and you tell me it's against the rules of the game." Professor McGonagall was so angry that she put Charlie in detention. Charlie shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all. He didn't regret his decision today.

"Professor, if the Slytherin team is willing to play a good game with us, everyone will certainly be willing to play against them. But aren't they unwilling to do so?"

Before leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Charlie stated this fact in a calm tone, "Since the other party is unwilling, how can you blame me!"

Professor McGonagall was speechless and finally cancelled Charlie's detention.

Charlie silently praised Albert in his heart. His words were indeed very sharp, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

If Madam Hooch could really help solve the problem, he wouldn't have to do that, but the problem is that she can't!

"Are you okay?"

Charlie came out of Professor McGonagall's office and was surrounded by the team members.

"Ok!" Charlie said, "I was scolded by Professor McGonagall. However, what Albert said was still very effective. Professor McGonagall originally wanted to put me in detention."

It would be really unfortunate if I was put in solitary confinement for this.

Afterwards, everyone went to the school hospital. Many players were injured. When Albert first entered the school hospital, he saw George glaring at the Slytherin student opposite him, as if they were studying how to hurt each other with their eyes.

"It seems that you are in good spirits." Fred chuckled.

"Very bad." George has no plans to be discharged from the hospital for the time being.

"Okay, Mr. Weasley, you can be discharged from the hospital. And you, don't crowd here!" Madam Pomfrey was treating other injured students.

"Are you okay?" Albert looked at Angelina and said.

"Not very well. My head still hurts. Madam Pomfrey said I have to stay in the hospital tonight." Angelina was very depressed. They lost again, and it was a crushing defeat.

"Don't worry, I have avenged you!" Fred whispered, pointing towards a bed.

"I really don't understand. It's just a Quidditch match, how could it turn out like this!" Madam Pomfrey grumbled angrily, "Are you guys going to a fight?"

No one answered and the room was dead silent.

However, what Madam Pomfrey said was indeed correct. They did have a fight, but it took place on the Quidditch field.
