The match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff will be played in the first week after Easter, and this is also the last match. After this match is over, the scores of each college will be counted, and this will be the standard Draw the final champion. ．』．
Gryffindor is now temporarily ranked first, with a huge lead. Even though they lost the first game, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the entire team and the excellent performance of Harry's Firebolt, they successfully recovered the decline. Leaped to the first place.
Hufflepuff's lounge is filled with a faint fragrance of earth. This is a round room with a low roof. The warm sunshine of early spring shines on the floor through the windows. There are many green plants hanging beside the windows and the ceiling. In all fairness, Hufflepuff's common room is the most peaceful place to relax.
However, even in such an environment, the students in the lounge now kept their faces full of awe.
"Tomorrow is our game against Slytherin." Cedric Diggory was speaking, a handsome boy with a high nose, black hair, black pupils, and he was now in the fifth grade. And as the Seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, this is also the core figure of a team, and the quality of his swing can often affect the outcome of the game.
Of course, their strategy is not limited to victory, and because of the points system, they are also very likely to win the game and lose the trophy, so they pay great attention to the deployment of strategy.
The Hufflepuff players are all nervously discussing the tactics they should adopt tomorrow, because they not only want to win, but also win beautifully.
"I'm a little strange." A short, fat, dark-skinned female student said suddenly.
"Strange what?" asked another student.
"These days, the Slytherin students don't even have any provocations. In previous years, whenever there was a game in their college, they would keep provoking their opponents." The female student said weakly.
"This is a good thing. We advocate fair competition, and the current Slytherin students may also understand that strength is the only effective way to prove themselves on the field." Cedric said.
Facts have proved that he was wrong, at least in this kind of game, strength is not the only thing, if hardware is not included in the category of strength.
When the seven players of the Slytherin team appeared on the field in their green jerseys on the day of the game, the entire field was dead silent at first, and then all the audience in the auditorium were boiling.
"Oh my god!"
"How could they do this!"
All the audience almost stared out their eyeballs, they couldn't believe what they saw before their eyes.
Each of the seven Slytherin players held a Firebolt in their hands.
Ron and Harry seemed to be under the immobilization spell. Ron's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he could even swallow a toad immediately.
"This, this is really unbelievable." Li screamed, tearing his head frantically. "Seven Firebolts, did they steal some Quidditch national team's broom?"
Then Professor McGonagall gave him a hard look, warning him to keep his tone down.
The basic ethics of a commentator should still ensure the minimum objectivity, and Lee Jordan did not do this well.
"Maybe the audience at the scene didn't fully understand the Firebolt. In the previous games, Harry Potter of the Gryffindor team used this style of broom, which largely helped their team win." Lee Jordan swallowed, and said dryly: "This is the most perfect broomstick in the wizarding world today, not one of them. In addition to the perfect craftsmanship and material selection, the Firebolt even uses goblin craftsmanship, including pedals. , support plates and brackets, allowing athletes to maintain balance and avoid bumps even in bad weather."
Lee Jordan paused and continued: "I still don't know how they did it. It is said that the production of the Firebolt is extremely low, because the goblin workers who are in charge of important links can easily go on strike due to a small conflict."
The spectators are not all fanatical fans, but they only know one thing, that is, this broom is very powerful, Harry's Firebolt made the Gryffindor team even more powerful, and now there are seven people on the field at the same time. Well, it can be said that it is obvious what the direction of this game will be.
"Don't panic." Cedric remained calm. He is the Seeker and captain of the Hufflepuff team, so he must remain calm at this time. When the backbone of the team cannot remain calm, that is true. If you don't fight, you will lose yourself.
"Calm down, friends, sometimes advanced equipment doesn't mean anything, I'm not trying to comfort you, but think about it for yourself, this is the first time they use the Firebolt in a competition, can they adapt? What suits them is Best of all, we have to learn to trust our partners who have been with us for so many years, right?"
The morale decline was stopped immediately by Cedric's words.
Even Mrs. Hooch was taken aback by the appearance of the seven Firebolts. She didn't expect the students of Slytherin to be able to do this.
But she still made up her mind, her duty is to act as a referee, and the students are free to use whatever broomsticks they use.
"Captains, shake hands!," said Mrs. Hooch.
Flint and Cedric approached each other, walked towards each other, held each other's hands, and the latter smiled politely at Flint, which made Crazy
Then the two returned to the front of their own team respectively.
"Get on the broomstick!" said Mrs Hooch, "three-two-one-"
Fourteen broomsticks flew into the air, and it was obvious that the Slytherin team's starting speed was far ahead of their opponents, and they reached the air first.
"Now the game has officially started." Lee Jordan began his commentary, "I have to say that the Firebolt did give the Slytherin team a great advantage. It's obviously much easier, just a slight change of direction, and the threat from the Bludger will disappear."
"Now the Quaffle is galloping towards the Hufflepuff circle gate under the control of Montagu of the Slytherin team." Lee Jordan wiped his eyes and said: "The Slytherin team took the lead Score! Montague just swooped down the line and sent the Quaffle into the goal without the Hufflepuff keeper even realizing it!"
The Slytherin auditorium burst into cheers, thronging like rolling green waves.
"Now the only chance for the Hufflepuff team is on the Snitch. If their Seeker Cedric can catch the Snitch in time, then they can still win this game!" Lee Jordan kept cheering Cheer on Team Hufflepuff.
Cedric tried his best to keep himself calm. Although he didn't agree with the idea that one person could save a game, the outcome of the game probably depended on him. Apart from the noise caused by the convection under the rapid flight, he Suddenly there was a piercing sound behind him, he sharply turned his broom and flew vertically upwards, dodging this attack, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another Bludger shot again. He jumped at him and hit him hard on the back, causing him to almost fall off the broom.
And Pansy was surrounded by him at the moment, and whenever Cedric made a move, Pansy would follow closely and harass him.
"What kind of tactic is this?" Lee Jordan yelled loudly, "The two batsmen of the Slytherin team and their Seeker actually dealt with Hufflepuff's Seeker Cedric at the same time!" , Lee Jordan suddenly slapped his palms fiercely, and said: "I understand, he is now using his equipment advantage to fight steadily, as long as Cedric is held back, relying on the excellent performance of the Firebolt, the Slytherin team can do it." Rely on the Quaffle points earned by the Chaser to win the match!"
At this point in the commentary, Lee Jordan's face suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "In this case, Gryffindor will become dangerous."
"Are we in danger?" Ron muttered to himself, he couldn't believe what Lee Jordan said, it's obviously Slytherin and Hufflepuff who are playing now, what's the matter with them
"I'm afraid he's right." Harry said with blank eyes, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Soon Ron knew why.
The Quaffle ruthlessly passed through the Hufflepuff's goal again and again. Their goalkeeper couldn't adapt to the lightning-fast speed of the Firebolt at all. It's too late.
Ten points, twenty points, thirty points, fifty points, one hundred points, the scores of the Slytherin team are rising steadily, and the Hufflepuff team, which has difficulty even hitting the Quaffle, can't talk about scoring. Still zero so far.
Yes, they had special training for Harry's Firebolt before, but it was for the Seeker, because Harry is the Seeker, and he will not be the Seeker It's working, so all the exercises for reflexes are done by Cedric, and the other Hufflepuffs don't have such training.
"Cedric's another beautiful dive, he's the Snitch! He's heading straight for the only hope, oh no! Two Quaffles were hit hard by Bol and Derek of the Slytherin team respectively." They were hit, and they were rushing towards the Snitch quickly. From the speed of the ball, they all used their best strength. If Cedric wanted to catch the Snitch, the back of his head might be smashed! "
"It's a pity that Cedric still chose to avoid these two balls."
"Jordan, if you can't continue to explain in a fair and just way, and continue to use such tendentious words, I think you..." Professor McGonagall reminded him again while sitting on the judge's seat.
Although she knew in her heart that Slytherin's victory might defeat Gryffindor.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Lee Jordan waved his hand and continued to explain.
Now the situation on the field has turned one-sided. The Slytherin team skillfully manipulated the broom under them, and made sharp blows to the Hufflepuff team. The rain-like offensive was scored by the Quaffle.
Even Cedric has become a little numb. No matter how strong a person is, he can't do anything under the double-team of three people. What's more, the opponent's level is not low, and he is still using the best equipment today. A sense of powerlessness rise from his heart.
But he didn't give up, but worked hard to cheer up, and continued to ride the broom towards the faint golden light that symbolized victory.
"Huh?" Cedric suddenly found that the attack and harassment from several people had stopped suddenly. He suddenly added that the golden lightning was not far in front of him. Once he caught the golden snitch, the game would be over. .
There was no harassment, which made him feel relaxed, and he didn't have time to think about why. He held the broom tightly with his left hand and kept moving forward. Cedric's right hand grabbed forward nimbly. Then, they swirled in his hand, and then slowly stopped in his hand.
But the audience did not cheer for him, Cedric felt a little abnormal, and then suddenly turned his head to the scoreboard as if he had just woken up from a dream, because before he was concentrating on the game and had no time, now everything is settled. Only time to care about the score.
The score on the scoreboard was five hundred to one hundred and fifty.
Feelings of astonishment rose in his heart, but it seemed to be a matter of course. He was surrounded so much that he couldn't even communicate with his teammates. Now his team members are all ashen-faced and have no fighting spirit.
Cedric finally knew why the Slytherin players suddenly let him go.
Taking a deep breath, Cedric calmed himself down. Although he lost the game, he had nothing to complain about. To be honest, he still enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself under such extremely unfavorable conditions. , He even felt that his technique had improved a lot.
He recalled the original Slytherin team's style of play, relying on physical advantages and small movements, that was really despised, but today's game left him speechless.
All players are back on the ground.
The captains of both sides approached again and shook hands.
Flint's face was full of joy, and so were the players behind him. They never thought that the way they won the championship was so easy.
"It was a great game, we were convinced," Cedric said.
"Oh, oh, is it?" Flint was a little surprised by Cedric's reaction. To be honest, he had already prepared a lot of taunting words, and he also presupposed the excuses Cedric might make, such as relying on the Firebolt It was only when he won, and then he taunted back fiercely. But Cedric's words made him feel awkward.
"Oh." Cedric sighed a long time, and then said with a smile to his team members: "It's going to be a holiday soon, do you think we should go to work and buy these seven brooms?"
This half-joking remark made the Hufflepuff team, which was still lifeless just now, laugh again.
All the audience stood up at this moment and gave their applause for Hufflepuff's defeat, Slytherin's victory, and Cedric's mature actions.
