Old Blood at Hogwarts

Chapter 67 Gryffindor Ravenclaw



The next day was the match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

As soon as Aaron came out of the dormitory in the morning, he saw a large group of people surrounding Harry, encouraging him to take the Firebolt to have breakfast with him.Everyone seems to agree that the Firebolt deserves some kind of honor.

Aaron followed the group to the Great Hall for breakfast.When Harry walked into the Great Hall with the Firebolt, almost everyone was looking in the direction of the Firebolt, and many people whispered excitedly.The people in Slytherin House seemed to have been struck by lightning.

"See his face?" Ron looked back at Malfoy happily, "He can't believe it! This is amazing!"

Wood was also proud of the glory reflected in the Firebolt.

"Put it here, Harry." He placed the broom in the center of the table, being careful to keep the sign facing out.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students quickly gathered around to watch.Hufflepuff's Seeker Cedric Diggory came over to congratulate Harry on getting such a nice broom to replace the Nimbus, and Percy's girlfriend Penelope from Ravenclaw asked if she could have it. A firebolt.

"Okay, okay, Penello, don't destroy it!" Percy said happily, as she carefully inspected the Firebolt.

"I made a bet with Penello," he told the team. "Look at the result, it's ten galleons!"

Penelope put the Firebolt down, thanked Harry and returned to her table.

"Harry, you must win." Percy whispered nervously, "I don't have ten galleons. Hey, I'll come, Penello!" At this time, Penello called Percy a few times. He hurried over to drink with her.

"Surely you can handle that broom, Potter?" said a cold, drawling voice.

Draco Malfoy came over to get a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle behind him.

"Yeah, probably." Harry said casually.

"This broom has many functions?" Malfoy's eyes flashed with malice. "It's a pity that it doesn't come with a parachute - in case you get too close to the Dementors."

Crabbe and Goyle snickered.

"It's a pity you can't have an extra arm, Malfoy," said Harry, "otherwise it could catch the Snitch for you."

Everyone in Gryffindor laughed loudly.

Malfoy narrowed his pale eyes and walked away slowly.He rejoined the Slytherin team, who put their heads together and seemed to be asking Malfoy if Harry's broom was actually a Firebolt.

At about 45:[-], the Gryffindor team members set off to the locker room to change clothes and get ready for the game.Aaron and others rushed to the stadium one after another, waiting for the game to start.

Today's weather is very different from last time when Gryffindor and Hufflepuff played.It was a cool, sunny day with very little wind, perfect weather for racing.

At about eleven o'clock, the Gryffindor team wearing red jerseys and the Ravenclaw team wearing blue jerseys entered the stadium one after another.A burst of thunderous applause erupted from the stands.

After the captains of the two teams shook hands with each other, the players stepped onto their broomsticks.At Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle, the players flew into the sky together, and the game officially began.

As usual, the commentators for the game were Lee Jordan and Professor McGonagall, friends of the Weasley twins.

Just listen to Jordan say excitedly: "They have started. The most exciting thing about this competition is the Firebolt that Harry of the Gryffindor team rides. According to the book "Classified Broomsticks", the Firebolt will He is the first choice for the national team participating in this year’s World Cup..."

"Jordan, could you please tell us how the game went?" Professor McGonagall's voice interrupted.

"Coming right up, Professor - just to give a little background. By the way, the Firebolt has a built-in automatic brake and..."

"Jordan!"

"Okay, okay, the ball is in Gryffindor's court, Gryffindor's Katie Bell rushes towards the goal..."

At this time, Gryffindor players had surrounded the Ravenclaw goal, and Katie scored the first point of the game.The stands where Gryffindor House was located immediately started to boil.

"...Look, Harry, he found the Golden Snitch..."

Under the commentary in the commentary box, people noticed Harry who was speeding down and the Golden Snitch in front of him.Seeing Harry getting closer and closer to the Golden Snitch, the audience in the stands became excited.

Suddenly, a Bludger was hit by a Ravenclaw beater and crashed towards Harry.Harry quickly changed direction to avoid, and in these critical seconds, the Golden Snitch disappeared.

The Gryffindor supporters let out a disappointed "ooh", but the Ravenclaws cheered loudly for their batter.George Weasley vented his emotions by hitting the second Bludger at the opposing batter, who was forced to tumble in mid-air to avoid it.

"Gryffindor is eighty to nil ahead now. Look how the Firebolt moves! Potter is really showing off its speed now. Look at it turning - Cho Chang's Comet can't compete with it. Than. The Firebolt's precise balance in a long game like this..."

"Jordan! Did Firebolt pay you to advertise? Keep commenting!"

Ravenclaw was pulling back the score, they had scored three goals, and Gryffindor was now only fifty points ahead.In other words, the outcome of the game now depends entirely on the seekers of both sides. Whichever team catches the Golden Snitch first will win the game.

"...Harry increased his flying speed, and he seemed to have discovered the Golden Snitch..."

People looked towards Harry following the commentary and saw him rushing towards the Gryffindor goal.Near the goal, people saw a little golden light flashing, that was the Golden Snitch.

Harry flew straight towards the golden thing, but Ravenclaw's Seeker Zhang Qiu immediately appeared from the sky and blocked his way.Harry stepped sideways to avoid a collision.Then, the Snitch disappeared again.

"...Harry started to climb, but Zhang Qiu was following behind him. She seemed to have decided to keep an eye on Harry, and would rather not find the Golden Snitch..."

After Harry ascended for a while, he began to dive downward again, while Zhang Qiu was still following him closely.At this time, Harry suddenly stopped descending and rose rapidly again like a bullet.However, Zhang Qiu couldn't control his rapid downward flight and continued to fly downward for a while.In an instant, Zhang Qiu was thrown away by Harry.

Suddenly, Harry flew rapidly towards a place in mid-air.There, a golden light flashed.Harry found the Snitch again.A few feet below him, Zhang Qiu was also speeding up.

The eyes of all the spectators present were attracted to them.Everyone knows that the game between Harry and Zhang Qiu affects the final result of the game.

Seeing that Harry was about to catch the Golden Snitch, Zhang Qiu suddenly pointed downward and exclaimed: "Oh!"

People looked along Zhang Qiu's fingers and saw three tall, black dementors wearing hoods appearing at the edge of the court at some point.The audience in the stands instantly panicked, and everyone was frightened by the dementors.

Seeing this, Aaron quickly drew out his wand and shouted: "Call the gods to protect you!"

Immediately, a huge silver-white thing appeared from the end of his wand and flew towards the three dementors.At the same time, another patron saint flew down from the sky and flew towards the three dementors.

Aaron looked up to the sky and saw Harry riding a Firebolt, holding a wand in one hand and holding the Golden Snitch in the other.

Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded.The rest of the Gryffindor team flew to Harry and surrounded him.In the stands, the students of Gryffindor House were also cheering.As the players descended to the ground, all the Gryffindor supporters ran onto the pitch at top speed, cheering as they surrounded the heroes on the pitch.

Aaron did not go to celebrate the victory with other Gryffindor students, but came to the edge of the court to see how the dementors were doing.Dementors are dangerous creatures and cannot be left alone.Moreover, it was the first time for Aaron to use the patron saint spell in actual combat, and he also wanted to see how effective his spell was.

However, when Aaron came to the edge of the court, he did not see the Dementor.Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and Slytherin captain Marcus Flint were seen lying in a heap on the ground, all struggling to free themselves from the hooded black robes. come out.It was as if Malfoy had been standing on Goyle's shoulders.In front of them, Professor McGonagall was looking at them with an extremely furious expression on her face.

"Despicable means!" she shouted, "Conspiracy to frame the Gryffindor team's Seeker, dirty and cowardly! You will all be punished, and you will also be deducted fifty points from Slytherin House! I will take this Tell Professor Dumbledore about it, yes! Ah, he is here!"

At this time, Professor Lupine came over with Harry and other Gryffindor House students.Ron struggled to squeeze his way to the front of the crowd, watching Malfoy hurriedly trying to get out of his robe, and seeing Goyle's head still wrapped in his robe, he couldn't help laughing until he couldn't straighten his waist.

"Come on, Harry!" George pushed his way over, "Soiree! Gryffindor Common Room, now!"

All Gryffindor students cheered George's proposal.Harry and the other players led the way, still wearing their scarlet robes, as they walked out of the stadium and back to the castle.
